The following translation from the Sausan-

patience has limit. and mine has come 70 an
end. l have nothing more to ask OF Europe,
neither the Independence OF Crete nor the
union with Greece, and have made up my
mind to decree myself the annexation of the
island, which is closely bound TO Greece by
feeling, language and religion. My purpose
Is unshaken and have no disposition TO re.
ceae. The Greek troops have received definite
orders to occupy the island and Crete will
her ceforth be governed in my name. When
see England occupying Cyprus Germany In
possession of Schloswig Holsten aud Austria
seizing on Bosnia and Hcrzegovince by force
(or Germany I'm the other caso), and yet no
tie existing between those powers and the
province thus annexed reckon that Greece
has n good right 20 unite with Crete. That
island is for Us with all its heart, and for its
sake Greece has made sacrifices in order TO
protect thousands Of its people, fecing from
Turkish barbarity, and taking refuge in my
continental kingdom. Greece is forced to
stretch ont helping hand to Crete, whose
constant and justifiable state OF revolution
exhausts our financial resources and is the
chief cause OF the present suspension of our

LAW ON LABOR TRUSTS.
The latest judicial decision on the right
of the individual 10 freedom in the pur-
suit of a lawful trade or calling as actually
! or only seemingly opposed by the action in
restraint Of such freedom by labor organi-
cations, is from the New York Court OF
Appeals and of course IL is in agreement
with what may be esteemed normal
public policy as maintained by common
law and common sense. The court holds
that II the purpose Of an organization or
combination of worSingmcn be to ham
per or TO restrict that freedom, and
employers to coerce their workingmen to
become members of the organization and
to come under its rules and conditions,
under the penalty of the loss of their posi-
tions and of deprivation of employment,
their purpose is unlawful.
The court said in its opinion that in
the general consideration of the subject it
must DC presumed that the organization
or the cooperation of workingmen is not
against any public policy, but that the
social principle which justifles such organ
izations is departed from when they arc
so extended In their operation as either
TO intend or 10 accomplish injury to
Others. The eiieotuation of such pur-
pose, the court said, would conflict with
that principle of public policy which pro-
hibits monopolics and exclusive privi-
leges, for IL would tend to deprive the
public of the services Of men in useful en-
ployments and capacities Every citizen,
the court continued, is deeply interested
in the strict maintenance of the constitu-
tional right freely TO pursue lawful
vocation, under conditions equal as TO
all, and to enjoy the fruits of his labor
without the imposition of any conditions
not required for the general welfare of the
community, and the sympathies or the
fellow feeling which, as n social principle,
underlics tho association of workingmen
for their common benefit are not CON
sistent with purpose to oppress the in
dividual who prefers, by single effort,
to gain his livelihood.
The decision Is one of much import :.
ance, and without doubt will attract at
tention far beyond the limits Of the state
in which it has been rendered 1t is re-
ported very fully in the New York Law
Journal, the specific case being brought
against an organization known as the
Brewery workingmen Local Assembly of
the knights of Labor, which aimed to con-
troll the acts of its members in relation To
the brewing trade. The plaintiff alleged
that in 1890 two of tho defendants threat

zation referred to and subject himself 60

Little Mary Kennedy Sent
to Insane Asylum.
Was Terribly Burned at Her
Home Last December.
After Recovering From Her Burns
Her Reason Deserted Her.

There was distressing scene in the
Sixth District Court this morning. 1t
was that of pretty little Mary Kennedy
who was seriously burned at the home
of her father, James Kennedy, 8 kossuth
street, on the evening of Dec. 81. At the
time of the burning 1t was thought the
little one would die from the effects of
her injuries. How the child's clothing
caught fire has never been explained, but
IL il supposed that while walking in her
sleep her night dress came in contact
with the Kitchen stove.
The girl was taken TO the Rhode Island
Hospital and recovered from her injuries,
but became an imbecile AT this time
DR. Peters of the hospital informed the
child's father that he must take her from
the hospital, as she had recovered from
her burns.
Kennedy, whose wife is dead, seeing
the condition of his child, said be had no
way to care for her. He called on Over.
seer of the Poor Cummings, and the
latter had the child removed to the Dex-
ter asylum. The child has been at that
institution for number of months, but
today was brought into the Sixth District
Court, on the charge of being an insane
person.
There was quite discussion between
Judge Sweetland and Drs. Palmer and
Coomey on the question of whether the
child was insane or nm imbecile. his
Honor also took Oyerseer of the Poor
Cummings to task for not having the
child $ father In court
The Judge said that it was somewhat
against his opinion that he adjudged tic
child insane but would commit her TO the
state asylum and the officials there could
send her TO the almshouse Ii they saw fit.
An old woman. Mary Hanly,wh SO far
as known has not "a friend on earth, was
brought from the Dexter asylum and
was also ordered committed to the state
asylum. The court official led tho poor
old lady and the little girl from the court
room and they were taken to the asylum.
