HOT FIGHTING IN CRETE.

The Cretan Christians and AIussuImRns
Have a sanRuinary Encounter. ----
LONDON, Aug. 26.-A dispatch 20 The
Telegraph from Athens says that the most
serious fighting which has been recorded
in Crete up TO the present time occurred
Friday. when the Christians in the noun
tains organized a strong expedition against
a number Of Moslem Villages In the Hera-
klion district. A thousand we'll armed
Turks left Heraklion to defend their prop
erty. In the pitched battle which follow
ed the Turks were defeated, losing 80 kill
cd and AZ wounded. The losses of the
Christians were smaller. The Cretans cap
tured an enormous booty hundreds of
rifles and thousands of sheep and cattle fall
ing into their possession.
The news of the reverses, according to
the Athens correspondent OF The Tele-
graph, terribly excited the MOslem pOpu-
lation of Heraklion. The Mohammedans
gathered in front of the palace Of the gov
ernor and olamored furiously for arms
The governor refused to accede to these re-
quests, but he was powerless TO restore or
der He therefore telegraphed the authori-
ties at Canea, warning them of the gravi-
ty Of the situation. The foreign consuls
urged GeorA Berovitoh, prince Of samos,
the recently appointed Christian governor
of Crete, TO take steps TO suppress the dis
order. The French consul even went so
far as TO threaten to order strong force
from the French warships TO disembark
for the purpose of restoring order.
In conclusion the Athens correspondent
Of Tho Telegraph says that after the bat
tie several Of the villages were burned,
both the Christians and the Turks taking
a hand in the destruction of the towns
The Athens correspondent of The Daily
News sonds dispatches identical in many
respects with the statements furnished by
the Athens correspondent of The Telo-
graph and tho account of the disorder at
Archanes furnished by tho Canea corro-
spondent of The Times In conclusion the
Athens correspondent Of The Daily News
says
~"It is we'll known fact that during
the last ten days the governor Of Heraklion
has been openly arming the Mussulmans
with arms and ammunition obtained from
the army arsenal.

Mr.. Bryan spoke at some length, pre-

coinage arguments and concluded by say
ing:

judgments sustain that action, in trying
to bring back to the people monetary

been accomplished other things will be
possible. Until this is accomplished, no

At the conclusion of the speech Mr..
Bryan and his party took the train on
their westward journey.
Those who have travelled with the can
didate since his nomination say that no
demonstration in the campaign has ex-
celled this at Albany in intensity and on

enough to notice. Such an institution
can be found here. For years It has
carried on business OF the theory that
vast majorities Of men are honest in

merely leaving his name and adress,
can borrow from IS to s25 in cash. No

cases people try 70 rsturn more thar

office forbid their making this saerince,

paid in every year, and the association
has received many donations. Today
the association has about Ill, 900 loan

hand. The society puts out Its money
IN an average Of about four times =
