A cRETAN CIVIL WAR.
Preparations at AmbeIIos to Commence
Such an Event.

Preparations at AmbelIos to Commence
Such an Event.
LONDON, April 22.-There is every
reason to believe that the first shot of
new civil war will soon be fired in Crete,
at Ambellos, where all the preparations
for such an event have been made.
The Cretans are being deliberately
driven to desperation by the Turks, with
view TO undoing the freedom gained in
fifty years of struggling and to restoring
the unlimited Turkish rule of the last
century. The Turks had the advantage
of being able at the beginning of last
years disturbances to put the Cretans in
the wrong, and at the same time TO gain
military hold on the island. The pow
ers are embarrassed, first, because they
cannot contest the right of the Turkish
government to repress what was plausi-
ble represented as an insurrection, and
secondly, because strong pressure on
Turkey might upset the existing combin-
ations.
The Turks have before appealed to
Russia for help and might do so again.
The powers are rendered even more eau
/. tious by their present grouping into two
camps, and by the dread of precipitating
~ NOIhlIb DSbWGtl Dub Jilto very
hesitation involves the greatest risk. The
Turks will probably be unable to con
Quer the Cretans. In the struggle of
1868 Turkey spent 500, ,000 600 and lost
10000 men without succeeding. If a
similar effort should be again required,
Turkey can make it only upon condition
that she has no distractions elsewhere.
But Mt this moment the sultan has to
face strained situation alike in Asia
and in Europe The outcome Of his
latest attempt to coerce Crete cannot be
predicted, but there will probably be
some interference by the powers to put
a stop to the butchery, not SO much in
the interest of the Cretan sufferers as in
that of Turkish bondholders, who do not
want to see the Ottoman revenues
wasted in doubtful and useless war
fare.

DEPRESSION IN AGRICULTURE,
Secretary Rusk is About to Explain How
to Remedy 1t.

-
to Remedy 1t.
New YORK, April GA special to
The World from Washington says Secre-
tary Rusk is about to issue an address to
the farmers Of the country, explaining
how the depression in agriculture can be
remedied.
He attributes the present state of af-
fairs in part to carelessness in culture
and says that in these days of world
wide competition a successful farmer
must be as well trained and careful in
business as the storekeeper, and his
equal in intelligence and general educa-
tion.
The secretary also thinks that the
farmer does not study the market re-
ports as carefully as he should, and rec
ommends that he avail himself of the
information supplied by the agricultural
department.
He thinks that farmers should not ac-
quire more land than they can profitably
cultivate.
After touching upon the questions of
farm mortgages, transportation, the
middle man, gambling in farm prod
ucts and combinations 10 control the
market, the secretary makes long ar
gument in favor of higher duties on
farm projects, He gives tables to show
that our imports of agricultural products
amount to S366,273, 1888, the greater part
of which, probably $3.50, ,000,0 600, might
with proper encouragement be produced
on our own soil.
He thinks that the problem can be
solved by the imposition of high rates
of duty on agricultural products.

strange to say, nobody was killed out
right. Eleven persons were 70 be bap-
tised by Elder d. b. Green, pastor Of
the Third Baptist church, colored, and
thousands had congregated along the
banks and on adjacent bridges to watch
the ceremony.
Just before the first postulant for bap-
tism was sent into the water the Lime
stone street bridge, upon which fully l50
people were standing, collapsed, hurting
the people fifteen feet into the water
amid the debris of timber, twisted iron
and masses of loosened rock. Women
lining the banks tainted by dozens.
Among the l50 who went down in the
crash many were pinned down by large
stone slabs from the abutment and were
only able by terrible effort to keep their
heads above water while their limbs and
bodies were being crushed and mutilated
by the timbers and stones. Mayor Bur-
nett, detail of police and many of the
spectators did heroic service in rescuing
the injured people.
Those seriously injured are:
A. Lehman, 50 years old

Some few employers in the outskirts
were reported to have men at work, tax

make no attempt to dissuade men from
from working. Negotiations are still

is still uncertain. Another conference is
to be held this afternoon between the
association committee and the carpen-

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES.
For This Season Only the Present Bal
Act Will he Carried Out.

HALIFAX, N s., April 20. .-Newfound-
land advices state that the government
has decided that for this season only the
present bait act is TO be carried out un-
der licenses by which all foreigners will
be permitted to purchase one barrel of
bait per ton of per registration on pay
ment of tonnage dues.
The Telegram, the government organ,
points out that the idea is to compel for
eign fishermen to pay such an amount
for bait licenses, and light dues, as will
cripple their competition against New
foundland fishermen in foreign markets.
1t estimates that foreign fishermen will
thus contribute To the Newfoundland
government 800, 900 year, which will
be paid to Newfoundland fishermen in
