MIR. TELLER'S SPEECH.
He Declares the silver Issue Will Not
Be Abandoned.

In the Senate this afternoon Mr.. Teller
in speech said there was no purpose on
the part of the friends of silver to let the
great financial question lapse by the adop-
ton Of any temporary expedent. The con-
test would be carried on. and the friends

The republican party was about to come
into power. Mr.. Teller said, and We knew
who is to be Secretary of State and Secre-
that the senator from Ohio (Sherman) does
rot believe in the effectiveness of an in
ternational conference. We know also that
the new Secretary of the Treasury (Gage)
according 10 press reports, mas no sym
pathy with an International agreement.
If the new President had any sympathy
for an international agreement it must be
from his votes in the House. and not for
anything he had said since his nomination,
for excepting the perfunctory acceptance
of the platform, every utterance had indi-
Gated that he had gone over to the gold
standard and would main there
Mr.. Teller referred to the approaching :n-
aUguration of a President. We were told.
he said, that the ceremony would be with
the pomp and majesty of royalty. He did
not complain of that The coming of the

be attended with something more than or
dirary interest But it would be as a re-
fection on that day. he said, that more
men and women were out of work and the
subjects of charity than ever before in the

THE BOYS WERE DISAPPOINTED
Western High school Cadets Resented
Their DisOrgnniHntiOn.

Company II of the Western High School
Corps has for q few hours been the CEN
ter of a s-orm cloud of indignation. whic h
spread its Influence rapidly until the entire
student body at the school was in a state
of open meeting. The trouble arose when
an order from Major Ross read yes
terday afternoon at the close of battalion
drill. which directed the cadets of Com
pany II to report to other divisions of the
cadet force for the Inauguration day pa
rade.
The objectionable order was due to the
regulation that all companies taking part
in the procession must present a front OF
twenty meE. Many of the companies are
short and to fill up the gaps the boys OF
the Western were assigned here and there
among the various High School companies
much to their disgust. This meant that
while taking active part in the parade the
boys from the Western would lose identity
as represen tatives of their own school
The parents and the girl friends of the
boys felt the matter keenly, and in many
cases parents forbade their boys participat-
ing IN the parade
Today the whole situation changed
by an order resembling the ohjeo tionable
one. The Westerns cadets will march with
its own officers and in its proper place.

LONDON. March The Earl of Kim
berley. the liberal leader. called attention
in the house of lords today to the Cretan

it would have been wiser and safer to join
Crete to Greece. and held that under any
circumstances the Turkish troops should be
withdrawn from the island simultaneously
with those of Greece. His lordshp ex-
pressed sympathy with the action of the
latter country, which. he considered, forced
the powers to take definite action
The premier, Lord Salisbury replying for
the government. said the policy which was
foresaadowei Thursday. when his lordship
read in the house of lords the dispatch sent
to the ambassadors of Great Britain at the
courts of the powers outlining the gov
ernments Cretan policy, was. in the main,
that which had been accepted by the pow
erS.
Continuing. his lordship explained that
there was not, however complete unanimi-
~ in regard to the withdrawal of the
Turkish troops, and he added that Crete
would not be Joined TO Greece.
But l can assure the house" said the
premier. that We resolved upon an
effective autonomy for Crete, whereby is
meant the withdrawal of the arbitrary
