There is every reason 10 believe that the
FIRST shot of new civil war will be fred IN
Crete 10. day or tomorrow, at Ambellos,
where all the preparations for sucn an
event have been made. The crrtans are
being deliberately driven TO desperation by
the Turks. With view Of undoing the free
dom gained in hfty years OF struggling,
and 10 restore tho ualimited Turkish rule
of the last century. The Turks had the adj
vantage OF being able at the beginning OF
last years disturbances to pnt the Cretans
In the wrcng, and at the same time TO gain
military hold upon the island. The powers
are embarrassed first, because they can
not contest the right Of the Turkish gov.
ernment TO repress what vas plansibly
represented as en- insurrecsion; and sec
ondiy, besause strong pressure ON Turkey
m ieht break the existing combination.
The Turks have before appealed 10 Russia
for help and might do so again. The
powers ars rendered even more cautious by
their own present grouping into two camps,
and by the dread OF precipitating q conflict
bet them. But this very hesitation
involves the greatest risk. The Turks will
probably be unable to conquer the
Crefans. In the struggle Of 1865. Tur-
kew spent S50, ,0OO, 900 and iost 10000 men
without succeeding. Ii similar effort
should be again required, Turkey can make
II only upon the suppositIon that she has
no distractions elsewhere. But al this
moment the sultan has TO face strained
situation, alike in Asia ahd in Europe, the
outcome of hts latest attempt to coerce
Crete cannot be predicted, but there viii
probably be some interference by the
powers TO put stop TO the bntchery, not

fersrs AZ in that of Turkish bondholders,
who do not want TO see the Ottoman

Secretary Rusk ID about TO issue an adj

in culture, and says that In these days of

must DE as we'll trained and careful In bus
mess as the storekeeper, and his eqnal in
intelligence and general education. The
secretary also thinks that the farmer does
not study the market reports as carefully
as he should, aud recommends that he avail
himself OF the information supplied by
the agricultural department. He thinks
that farmers should not acquire more land
than they can probably cultivate. After
touching upon the question Of mortgages,
transportation, the middlemsn, gambling
In farm products and combinations TO con-
troll the market, the secretary makes long
argument In favor of higher duties on farm
products. he gives tables TO show that
our imports Of agricultural products
amount to s268, ,273, ,73S, the greater part Of
which. probably S250.00O. 900, might be
with proper encouragement produced on
our own soil. He thought the problem
can be solved By the imposition OF higher
rates of duty ON agricultural products.

for manufacturing within tho terntorY: for
the extsnsion TO the territory OF the coal
