WOMEN AND VOTING.
Colorado Organizations Reply tG
Some Recent Statements.
Raw Recruits Cannot Overcome the
Machine at Once.

Denver, Col, May l3.-Tne Colorado
Equal Suffrage Association and the Civil
Federation of Denver have made state
ment in reply to reports circulated OF late
regarding the results of woman suffrage
in Colorado.
In part the statement is as follows:
When false statements are made the wea-
pons with which to defeatlthe liberty of
woman in other states measure Of
authoritative self assertionsbecomes neces-
sary We do not claim that phenomenal
good has been secured by the vote of
women. The tyranny of political
machinery made effective by long usage
under the management of trained workers
cannot be overcome by the enthusiasm OF
raw recruits. We do not claim that the
women of Colorado have vital part in
the great movement thai is everywhere
seeking "a better social order.
The successful outcome of the late
municipal election in Denver, occurring
as 1t did three years after our enfranchise-
ment, was the first triumph of an organ
lied effort made by women to influence
conventions and carry an election. This
subject is considered an earnest Of future
achievement through women's ballots in
the interest of reform.

CRETE NOT PACIFIED.
Autonomy Is Opposed by Twenty Thou
sand Mohamnedans.

sand Mohammedans.
London, May 13.-The Times corre-
spondent at Gambia says: 1t is feared
that autonomy will fail to pacify Crete,
owing to the opposition of 10000 Cretan
Mohammedans in the island. They sus-
pect that autonomy will end in union
with Greece, while the insurgents are
still defiant and actually talk OF resist
ing the departure OF the Greek troops.
The Berlin correspondent OF The Daily
News says he learns on excellent au-
tEority that the Turkish government
demands a war indemnity OF C. ZOO, 600
and the right to occupy Thessaly until
IL is paid.
The Greek correspondent of The Daily
Telegraph at Constantlnople says the
sultan resents the mediation OF the pow
ers. and desires to negotiate with Greece
directly. If this is refused Turkish de-
mands will be more eXactlng.
The Rome correspondent OF The Daily
Mall says: / ascertain at The Italian
foreign office that Turkey viii certainly
accede TO the request for an arrHistice,
and Will place herself in the hands OF the
powers. The general conditions of In
demnity and strategic rectiflcaton of
ITontltT, upon Wnlcn turkey Insists,
have been already acquiesced in by the
powers. 1t is probable that the powers
will land additional troops In Crete.

Last summer the pope. in an auto

tect the Christians In Crete. The papal
delegate. Mgr. Bonetti, obtained an audi
ence with the Ydiz Kiosk and formally
presented the letter.
The sultan. evidently irritated. said In
on undertone in Turkish: Who's this
tope that's always meddling I'm the af-
fairs Of our state" and then. aloud In
French. Tell his holiness that II Is my
constant care 20 attend TO the welfare Of
all my subjects"
The pope. deeply offended at seeing his
plans for the Eastern churches upset I'm
this fashion. tried another letter last
October. This had a better reception.
but was never answered. and there has
been no direct communications between
the Vatican and the porte since.
