NEW YORK June 2l. The Advertiser
will say tomorrow: Information re-
, ceiYed today direct from the scene of
| the Cretan revolution against Turkey
by Solon Vlirto, editor of the Greek
newspaper Atlantis, shows the Turk
ish troops are resorting to atrocities
which equal in point of bloodiness
their terrible barbarities in the Ar
menian war. o..
According to these advices, the Gre.
tan revolutionists, who number about
$4,000 men, all we'll equipped, are
daily gaining strength, aud with the
aid they are receiving from Greece,
the probabilities are that the Cretans
will be successful in gaining their in
dependence.
The last massacre occurred My %,
in Canea, the principal city of Crete.
In this fanatical crusade against Chris
tianity, an attache of the Russian con
sulate and another of the Greek con-
sulate were murdered by the Turks,
although they were in no way con-
nected with the war.
The massacre began about noon
when false rumOr was spread by the
Turks that Turkish family had been
murdered by the Cretans. The rumor
caused panic, and the Christians
closed their shops and ran home for
safety. The firing could be heard out
side of the town.
The gates were closed to prevent the
escape of the inhabitants, and a
military patrol was at once established
by che Turks, and in the massacre
which followed, it is estimated that
1000 persons fell

left for Portland this evening, leaving
two companies of infantry and 20 men
from battery A, with two Gitling
guns, in this city. While there is
general rejoicing oyer the adjustment
of the differences between the can

During their short stay here, the boys

meanor, made many warm friends, who
would eagerly have embraced an op-
portunity to extend hospitality. had it
been possible to relax the discipline of
the camp, so as to enable the men to
mingle freely with the citizens. Short

of Young Dixon.

RosEBURG, Or, June 20.-Upon the
request of the mayor, Governor Lord
ordered out the militia here last night
to protect prisoner James Dixon, who
shot and killed Charles Rice on the
14th from mob violence. The order
had the desired effect. The mob
hearing that the j til was we'll guarded,
did not come. Sheriff Cathcart took
the prisoner to Eugene for safe keep
ing on the north bound overland. i.
Having walked shoBt distance Cat =
cart signaled the train, and getting en-
board with his prisoner, was soon be-
yond the reach of the would-be lynch
ers.
The first intimation that an attenp
would be made to lynch Dixon was
last night, when John Dixon, a brother
of the murderer, rode into Roseburg
and informed the sheriff that large
mob was forming at Blakesley's, the
scene of the crime, with the intention
of proceeding to Rossburg nd demand
ing the prisoner.
The sheriff and his deputies at once
made preparations for defending their
charge but at last fearing that the mob
would be too strong for them to cope
with, consultation was held with the
mayor of the city which resulted In a
request being made on Governor Lord

ASTORIA, June 20.-At meeting of
the fshermen's union, held to light,
under a call made for that purpose by
the executive committee this after
noon, the strike vas formally declared
off, by a majority of 81, in a total vote
of $50.
In anticipation of the actlou of the
meeting, the men have been applying
all day at the canneries for their nets
aud tomorrow midnight will probably
witness complete resumption of the
great salmon-packing industry of the
Columbia river.
The militia will leave for Their
homes tomorrow, reaching Portland

that they have been in the river for
some days at least, and it is predicted

| ST. LOUIS. June 19.-The silver men
continued in conference today and re-
port that they have the signatures of
| 26 delegates to their leclir ttion of in
| dependence, which sets forth their
| principles and recommends that all
parties AMI organizations opposed to
the gold standard united in supporting
Teller for president.
There is strong effort being made
to get the delegates who did not with
draw from the convention to sign this
appeal to The peo lie. There has been
conferences with representatives of
the populists and of the bimetalic
league to get them to indorse Teller
and have such a strong fusion against
the gold standard as to induce the
democratic national convention to
also indorse Teller.
The silver boilers have been confer
ring during night and day with eX-
Governor Francis and members of the
democratic national committee rela-
tie to their action. They have no as
surtnce from the democratic mana
gers, but have been invited to send
repres .ntative- to the democratic ma
tioual convention at Chicago next
month to confer with the party.
The silver men say they are willing
to cooperate wherever they can con-
sistently do so to defett the gold stun
dard, and are not seeking to press
Teller so much as they are to secure
relief from the power of the gold men.
The silver men will continue in con-
ference tonight and tomorrow, and
keep up the work till all the national
conventions have been held with view
to perfecting u general fusion. The
silver conferees claim they have not |
yet more than half the signatures that
were promised. There is difference
of opinion am ong the silver dsleg ties,
some of whom dsnouncv the gold san
dard, but are not in favor of an inde-
pendent movement.

B. P. o. e. a. Policy Men.

A number of Portland Elks went to
Baker City the other day to institute q.
lodge at that place, and on the way up,
says the East Oregonian, the Portland
Elks were seriously considering how
they could best ingratiate themselves
into the hearts of the Baker City
people, and SO a pro tempore conven-
lion was held, with Henry Griffin as
chairman, and Sheriff Paddock SER
geapt-at-arms. They deliberated long
and loud. and finally passed the follow
ing rssolution:
Whereas. we are going to Baker
City, where they hang gold standard
men,. and all shout for silver; and
Whereas, we want to jolly up tbs
boys and make them think we are not
in-need OF any repairing; and
Whereas, there is no shop in Baker
City were proper repairs could be made
we're they needed; therefore, be it.
Resolved, That we advocate the free,
unlimited and independence coinage Of
silver, at the sacredly cherished ratio
of 18 to /, and that this fallacy shall be
advocated until we return to Portland
and our right minds" (Signed by all
the Portland Elks on board.

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
Ths Hazy Light Of the Milky Way
nrvriada NJ 9farn.

Ths Hazy Light of the Milky Way
NTyrlads of Stars.
Sensitive as are the salts Of silver In
the gelatine plates, they do not equal
in this respect the living matter Of
the retina, on which images of objects
are continually being formed and
obliterated, says Longman's Magazine.
Notwithstanding this, celestial objects
can be photographed that will never
be seen by the kecnest eyes, aided by
the most powerful telescope that can
be made. One reason of this IS that
the Photographic plate is sensitive to
q far greater range Of vibrations than
the eye. Not only is it acted upon, to
slight extent, by the visual rays, but
by those as rapid as 10000, 900, 900 o
second.
Another reason Is that, while the
human retina can only retain an Inn.
preston for about one-seventh OF q
second, the feeblest light that falls
upon the sensitive plate is not lost,
but is stored up. Hence, the photo
grapher's plate was well called by
Herschel 'the ratina that forgets not"
What cannot be seen by the eye at q
glance will not reveal itself, though
we gaze an hour; whereas, the
chemical action on the plate at the end
of an hour Is 5000 times what 1t was
at the end of second The countless
millions of waves Of light striking
persistently upon one point Of the
plate must, in course Of time, prodnce
an image Of the star. In this way ap-
parently blank parts Of the heavens
have been shown to be crowded with
stars.
The total number of stars visible TO
the naked eye in the whole heavens 10
only about e,oo0; with our large tele-
scopes this number becomes more than
$4,000, ,oOO,Y while with the Photographic
eye it cannot be less than l6o, ,0oo, 900.
Indeed, according to DR.. Roberts, It
seems as if the Photographic plate
would become simply mass of stars
II sufficient exposure were allowed.
This is well illustrated by photographs
OF portions of the milky way, that
broad and ample road, whose dust is
gold and pavements stars" They show
that its hazy light, which leases the
eye and eludes the skill of the artist, Is
simply the efforts Of myriads OF stars
beyond our range Of vision.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 22.-The demo-
cratic congressional convention for
this, the eighth congressional district,
met today and renominated Joseph D.
Sayers. He addressed the convention
and stated he was uneqnivocally for
free coinage of silver at l6 to 1, and
that issue was the only one In which
he differed from Cleveland. He also
said there was no political doctrine
that he would not ad vocate and no po-
litical party he would not support
rather than see the populists gain con-
troll Of the government. The platform
adopted isfor silver, at 10 to /, ire

female diseases: Ovarian tumors,

of dissensions in the rebel ranks
Cisneros, president, v ill probably be
forced to resign in favor of Calixto
Garcia. In that event Jose Maceo
will be recon6rmed in command of the
extreme eastern districts. Maximo
Gomez, as soon as he returned to
Puerto Principe province, placed the
insurgent civil authorities under
arrest, aud CO lrt mar5ialed and shot
the provincial treasurer, Manuel Con-
Zalez, on charge of EN- mbezzling cattle
tax funds to the amount of $1,000 or
more. Several of his subordinates
were also shot as accomplices. The
correspondent says the trouble be-
tween Garcia AMI Jose Maceo origi-
mated in the latter's confscation for
the use of his own troops of greater
portion OF the arms and ammunition
which Garcia brought to Cuba in the
Bermuda expedition. Garcia resented
the seizure, and, asserting his superior
authority by virtue Of appointment by
the New York junta, attempted to de-
pose Maceo, when the latter sent fast
runners with complaint to Gomez.
Cisneros attempted in vain TO effect
reconciliation before the latter's
arrival. Antonio Maceo is not
pleased with the attempt of Garcia's
attempt to supplant his brother, Jose,
in command in the orient, and insists
in Gomez sustaining Jose in his p lace.
