DANGER OF WAR.
why England Won't Rush In to Settle
the Cretan Question.


London. Aug. 13.-George ~. Curzon,
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office. made statement to the house
yesterday. regarding affairs in the ISL
and of Crete. He deprecated the forma-
tion of any hasty opinion on the subject.
There has been a proposal of the powers,
he said. TO assist Turkey in effecting a
blockade of Crete. but England had
thought IL advisable TO look little fur
ther before Joining in such a movement.
1t was a doubtful thing to interfere be-
tween sovereign and subjects, and es-
pecially to suppress to some extent, ex-
cusabIe rebellion.
The government, he said. had declined
20 give the sultan the assistance, of a
British fleet, without a qud pro Duo in
the shape of a security or guarantees
to Crete. Lord Salisbury, he said, was
willing to consider joining i'm guaran-
tee with the other powers. Mr.. Curzon
did not believe that any Of the parties
concerned favored the annexation OF
Crete to Greece.
The government, he added, had not
abandoned hope OF a solution OF the diff
1culties. British men-of-war had rem
dered almost invaluable assistance in
preventing an outbreak OF disturbances.
Here there was an outbreak among the
Irish members of cries Of shame" and
Timothy Healy exclaimed: Why don't
you take the side of the Christians7"
Mr.. Curzon said that the government
had tried to avoid taking sides. Some
thing more permanent than had yet been
suggested was necessary, he said, for a
real settlement
Henry Flower said that the govern
ment was pursuing pro-Turkish policy.
Arthur Balfour, In reply, denied Nr.
Fowler's statement. The government,
he said, had been unsparing irrits efforts
to secure good government for Crete.
There was danger OF war IL any one
power rushed In TO settle the problem in
such rough and ready manner. After
repeating Mr.. Curzon's statements, Mr..
Balfour concluded by saying that the
government was conscious of its respon-
sibility for avoiding what might prove a
catastrophe incomparably greater than
the horrors already heard OF.

Mr. Reeds Daughter Often Helps Her II-
 1nstrious Father.
 Miss Kitty, the speakers I8-year-old daughter, is the best politician in the Reed, family. She abhors society, par ticularly the hollow sham official so- ciety of the national capital, and loves politics. She has made study of poli- tics and most of the public men.
 Her father has blind faith in her judgment and often consults her as to what he shall do. Kitty writes many of his letters for him and does not hesi- tate to give her advice. because she knows it is always welcome.
 Mrs. Reed does not care for political life and would be quite as we'll satis- fled to settle down in her beautiful home on the hills of Portland. Miss Kitty, on the other hand, is intensely ambi- tious, and, as the speaker himself says, "the keenest and best politician in the family. .''-Walter Wellman in Chicago Times Herald.

 Man In Alabama.
 A decree issued by Judge Bruce of the federal court, sitting at Birmingham, Ala, dismissing the case of the govern ment against the Tennessee and Coosa Railroad company and Hugh Carlisle, makes Carlisle the largest land owner and the wealthiest man in Alabama. Congress in 1856 granted 70, 900 acres of land in Etowah and Marshall coun- ties to aid in the construction of the Tennessee and Coosa railroad. Carlisle spent $250, GOO building the railroad and for the land. Four years ago the government, alleging the road had not been built within the required ten years, filed bill to oust Carlisle, and congress passed forfeiture act.
 One thousand settlers on the lands have since refused to pay rent, hoping the government would win. thus en- abling them to get squatter's title. Carlisle will now collect back rents, amounting to about S1,000,0 GOO. The land is valuable. New York World.

MIR. CLEVELAND WROTE IT
Original Draft of the Message Was In His
 Handwriting.

h8nuWribtn&.
 The belief that the message sent to congress was written by Mir. Olney. not by Mir. Cleveland, is very generally ex- pressed, but it is authoritatively declared that this belief is not founded on fact. The original draft of the message was in Mir. Cleveland's handwriting. Mr. Cleveland returned to the White House about o'clock on Sunday.
 He at once sent for Secretary Olney, Secretary Lamont and Secretary Car lisle and was in conference with them for comparatively short time. He worked alone that night, and before Il o'clock Monday morning he handed to one of the clerks the message, all in his own handwriting. It was written on a small tablet and made 15 pages of his very fine manuscript. From this were made the drafts of the message sent to congress Tuesday. Washington Star.

FROZEN TO THE RAIL.
A Wildcat Strangely Entrapped In Mon
 tam.

tam.
 What Is By long odds the best hunt ing story of the season comes from St. Regis, and the section foreman, Nels Thompson, who looks after the Snake track at that place, is the hero. It is probably tho first case of its kind on record and establishes an interesting precedent in the killing of wildcats.
 Last Thursday morning as Thompson and his gang of Scandinavians were pumping their hand car along the track on their way to their work, which that day was along the clay bluffs east of St. Regis, they were startled by the angry snarling of a wildcat ahead of them. They slowed up the car as they rounded the bluff, and a strange sight greeteG their eyes. The morning was bitterly cold, and fringe of ice bor6ered the banks of the St. Regis river, which rushed along just below the track. Bro ken ice and wet trail up the bank showed that the cat had swam through the icy stream and explained his pres- ent predicament For he certainly was in the gravest predicament ill which ever wildcat found himself He was fastened firmly to one of the steel rails by one fore foot.
 The supposition is that the cat had come through the river and leaped up the track embankment. His last jump brought one of his wet fore feet upon the rail, and it froze to the steel. There he was, held as fast as if in the jaws Of a trap. The ground showed that he had struggled to free himself, but his efforts had been in vain.
 A blow from a crowbar cracked his skull, and the victim of cold water was dead It required a strong pull to de- tach the frozen foot from the rail, and when it did come patches of skin still adhered to the steel. --Anaconda Stand ard.

 "What is Owego hair2" asks the her oine, as much puzzled as the audience.
 "Owego, says the hero, "is where you change for Auburn. ;
 The audience laughed at that more than at anything e@e in the play.

 Bob Cousins of Iowa is the most mod est member Ill congress Not many ses- sions ago MT. Mercer, member from Nebraska still in the house, married a young lady we'll known in Washington. Inasmuch as Cousins is an intimate friend of Mercer, both being born in Iowa. the latter thought it would be an excellent idea to have Cousins act as best man at the wedding Bob consent ed. The ceremony occurred After it was over the minister kissed the bride, bridesmaids ditto. The bride, supposinR the best man would be glad of similar courtesy extended to him, puckered up her lips to Bob in order that he might avail himself of the opportunity so gra. ciously extended to him.
 When MT. Cousins realized what was expected of him i'll the premises, he gave one look at the bride, turned so red that even the darkest corner of the church became as light as monday, bolted down the aisle and out of the church, leaving the bride in rather an embarrassed state of mind. to say noth- ing of the mingled feelings of surprise and bewilderment of the other members of the bridal party and friends.
 Both Mercer and Cousins are in the present congress, but the latter had rather talk on almost any subject than on certain incidents connected with the wedding of the gentleman from Nebras- ka. Boston Advertiser.
