CRETAN AFFAIRS.
JOHN BULL Is AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE TROUBLE.
All the Powers Except Greece and Great
Britain Favor the Republicans of
the Instruction.

NEW YORK, June "a dispatch
to tho Herald from Constantinople
says: Thirty.eight battalions OF
troops drawn from Smyrna, Bey-
rout and Salonlca will by next
week have put down the revolt in
Crete by surrounding the refugees
in the mountains.
A corps Of Greek volunteers is
being organized in Athens, by four
Cretan leaders and M. M. Serpi
and Nagur, under official auspices.
Abdullah Pasha has arrested a
Greek vessel carrying arms and
money for the insurgents.
The news emanating from Brit
ish sources, that Russia would pro-
test in favor of the Cretans is false.
Russia, France, Germany, Austria
and Italy continue in loyal atti-
tude and are opposed to insurrec-
tions which are apt to compro.
mise the peace Of the world. The
whole diplomatic corpss aside from
Great Britain and Greece, regard
the revolution as result Of ma.
chination.
E. Cambon, the French ambassa-
dor, was yesterday received in
audience by the sultan. M. Cam
bon strongly urged conciliatory
policy as being the best means OF
pacifying Crete. The Turkish
ministers assembled in special
council and discussed M. Cambon's
advice.
1t is a subject Of comment here
that the agitation in Crete Is fed
by the Cretan committee at
Athens, and that numerous Gre
taps are allowed to leave Athens
unhindered in order TO take part
in the movement. 1t is thought
that the tactics of the Cretan COM
mittee will be to prolong the cam
paign in order to induce the pow.
ers to intervene. In fact it has
been asserted that the insurgents
are withdrawing to the mountains
in order to prolong the struggle,
Many Cretans and sympathizers
were arrested In Constantinople on
Saturday when domicilisry visits
were also paid to Armenian en-
ployes in the telegraph department
residing in Peru.

Movements in Cuba.

NEW YORK, June "a dispatch
to the Herald from Havana, says /:
The government is changing the
military forces around in the hopes
of preventing Gomez from re-
invading the central province with
the insurgents forces from the
east. Patriotic Spanish merchants
in Havana, Cienfuegos and other
ports are raising funds to buy and
present to the government new
ironclad. The subscription already
exceeds SS50,000.
Madrid reports the trans-Atlan-
tic liners Alfonso XIII and Reina
Christisna recently armed for war
as formidable. They will sail for
Cuba in a fortnight. Work upon
the torpedo cstchers, Molina, Bazan
and Victoria in the arsenal at La
Grala Is being hurried and they
will be launched early in the
autumn.
The Havana press comments on
the speeches in the senate, and the
weakness OF the New York port de-
lenses.
Havana was considerably excited
yesterday by an insurgent band
burning several public buildings
at Curacao, one of the suburbs.
The band exchanged shots with
the government pickets. The in
surgents made an unsuccessful
attack upon the government out
posts at Gabriel, La Cingna, and
various points along the Pinar del
Rio trocha, and burned adjacent
houses In their retreat.

Hard to Locate the Laurida.

NEW YORK, June "a dispatch
to the Herald from Kingston,
Jamaica says: The steamship
Laurida is reported at Port Apto-
MO where she is waiting for q
cargo Of fruit. She had been at
Port Antonio since May 30. The
authorities here have searched her
with a view to finding out whether
or not she carried arms or was en-.
gagged in q filibustering expedition
in aid OF the rebels in Cuba. Moth
ing Of contraband character was
discovered on the vessel. 1t is re-
ported that several Spanish gun
boats are watching the coast with
the idea OF intercepting the Lau.
rida when she shall proceed to
sea. The Laurida, which recently
landed a filibustering expedition
in Cuba, has not been reported
for several days, and much anxiety
was felt In Cuban circles here and
in Florida as to the fate OF the
vessel. Many Cubans believe in
fact that the Laurida had been
captured by Spanish cruisers. The
Laurida, after successfully disem-
barking the Ruiz filibustering ex-
petition returned to Jacksonville,
Fla, where, however, as reported,
she did not dare to remain, her
captain having been warned that
q United States revenue cutter was
ready to intercept her. The vessel
then sailed it was stated for
Charleston, when she departed on
May %. Later, the Cuban junta at
Tampa, Fla, received information
that the Laurida was lying to the
westward of the Bahamas.

Senator Cullom will not attend
the convention. 1t will be the
first one he has missed since 1864.
In this connection he has been
three times chairman OF the Hi.

Another Prohibitionist Bolter.

PEORIA, Ill, June 8.-Daniel r.
Sheen, who was nominated as can
didate for United States senator by
the prohibitionists at their Spring.
field convention, has withdrawn
from the race and the party. He
says he does not fancy the one
plank platform and the abandon
ing of the woman's suffrage prin.
ciple, and therefore resigns his
membership on the prohibition
state central committee, and with
draws as a candidate for United
States senator. His resignation
caused a great deal OF excitement
In the local prohibition camp.
Mr.. Sheen, In an interview says:
"Woman's suffrage has been main
tanned by the prohibition party
since 1882, and / do not like 1t
being dropped from the platform.

ARCHBISHOP KAHN
To Be Invited to Open With Prayer the
Republican Convention.


ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 9.-The
Globe Democrat says this morn
ing: The suggestion has been
made informally to members of
the republican national COM
mittee that Arch Bishop Kahn be
invited to offer prayer at the
opening of the convention. 1t is
customary to have a prayer at the
opening Of each days proceedings
and representatives OF different
denomination are selected. The
argument that Is being used with
the national committeeman Is
that the archbishop Is OF the
Catholic church for a large section
of country; that this is his home
and that 1t would be a graceful
thing for the representatives OF
the republican party to do.

HON. ]. E. BLYTHE AT RIDGEWAY.

The people of Ridgeway and vicinity
did themselves proud last Wednesday
evening. There was splendid torch
light possession of men on fost and on
horse back. After the parade the hall
was packed, standing room being at a
premium. The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Wheeler, and the audience
was favored with selections by the
Ridgeway band, the Ladies' Glee Club,
Of Ridgeway and the Mckinley Glee
Club, Of Decorah, after which Mr..
Wheeler introduced the speaker of the
evening, Hon. James E. Blythe, OF
Mason City.
Mr.. Blythe was given an ovation as
he arose, and after the applause had
subsided, he entered at once into a
speech which was one Of the best we
have had tie pleasure of listening to
during the campaign. He received the
attention Of the large audience at once,
which he held throughout the whole
discourse. He picked out the leading
arguments Of the free silverites, and
answered them one by one, carefully
and candidly. After the address the
Mckinley Glee Club, of Decorah, gave
two more Of their pleasing selections
and the meeting closed with three
cheers for Mckinley and Hobart, also
three cheers for Hon. James E. Blythe.

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
HELD AT GRAND OPERA HOUSE
LAST SATURDAY.
Speeches We're Made in the Afternoon
by Hons. W. E. Fuller and Thos.
Updegraff, and in the Even
ing by Hon. Thos. Upde-
graft and Rev. DR..
Willett.

1t had been planned to have q grand
closing rally in our city last Saturday
with afternoon and evening meetings
and procession on the streets, but the
rain Of two days previous and of that
morning rendered street parade i'm
possible. However, at one o'clock in
the afternoon the Decorah City Band
and Mckinley Club Drum Corps came
out on the street and furnished music,
after which the meeting opened in the
Grand opera house. After q song by
the Giee Club, Chairman Toye, of the
County Central Committee, announced
e. p. johnson as chairman of the
meeting, who in fitting speech intro
duced Hon. w. E. Fuller, of West
Union, who discussed the issues care
fully and candidly. Mr.. Fuller is quite
wsll known here, and was warmly
greeted by his many ffiends. After an
excellent speech by him the Cresco
Glee Club. who had kindly come to
furnish US music, gave one of their
popular selections. They possess good
voices, and their renditions were especi-
ally pleasing to the audience. Our
congressman, Hon. Thos Updegraff,
was then introduced, and in his IA
miliar style continued the discussion.
He is SO well known to our people that
his manner of speech and argumenta-
ton needs no comment. His address
was logical and was enjoyed by those
who listened. His analysis of the
money question was argumentative
and instructive. The meeting was en-
joyed by all present.
At the evening meeting e. N. God
dard acted as chairman, and music was
furnished by the Decorah City Band,
Mckinley Club Drum Corps, and the
Cresco and Decorah Glee Clubs. Hon.
Thos. Updegraff and Rev. DIR. Willett
were the speakers. The issues were
presented by both in careful and can
did manner, pointing out, as they be-
iieved, the virtues Of the republican
platform and the defects of the demo
cratic.
Had the weather been pleasant there
would undoubtedly have been much
larger audiences, but the enthusiasm of
those who were In attendance was none
the less on that account.

PUBLIC OPINION to give to its readers
all of the news as soon as obtainable,
and believing that it's readers would be
very anxious to learn the result of the
greatest contest that has agitated the
American people since the War of the
Rebellion, it was deemed advisable to
hold our forms until news of the result
could be obtained, and this is our apol-
ogy for not appearing yesterday, our
usual publication day.
Yesterday was very pleasant day
and election passed off very quietly in
this city. An unusually large vote
was polled, as the returns will show.
In the evening "'Quarters for re-
ceiving the retL1As were established
at the Grand Opera House, where,
through the courtesy Of F. J. Rosen-
thai, long distance telephone was
placed in the opera house, so that re-
turns were obtainable by telephone
and telegraph. ~
Early in the evening. dispatches be
gan to come In, and before long the ma
jorities for Mckinley in all doubtful
quarters began to establish confidence
of his election in the minds of the large
audience present. We had hoped to
be able to give complete returns from
Winneshiek county, but several town
ships failed to report, though those re-
porting showed larger majority than
ever for Mckinley and the county tick
ct. An estimate has been made, and
we think conservative one, that the
republican plurality in this county will
reach 14OO. This is based upon the re-
turns received and the vote In former
years ofthe precincts not heard from. OF
course any estimates as to the number
Of electoral votes Mckinley will get
would at this time (5:15 a. n.y. be use
less, and we have thought the most
feasible plan to be to report the COM
plete returns as received by telegram
last night and this morning, so we APP
pend them as they came to us by tele-
graph. There may be contradictions,
but by giving them as received, all our
readers have the opportunity Of esti-
mating for themselves, just as it was
necessary for those who heard the mes
sages read to do. Below will be found
the complete returns as received:
