They Will Promptly Prevent Greece
From Giving Succor to Christians.
Canea, March 10.-The reply of Greece
to the demands of the Powers for the
evacuation of this island by the Greek
troops and the withdrawal of the Greek
fleet from Cretan waters has been acted
upon promptly, to some extent, by ut
least two of the powers. When the SUI
rose this morning it was seen that there
were strange vessels at anchor here, and
ii soon after developed that they were
British and Italian transports loaded
with troops, evidently part Of the foreign
force. which, as the Admirals recommend
will occupy all the principal seaporr
towns of the island. The Turks assert
that these troops will be used to drive
the Greek forces out of Crete, but this
belief is not shared by the foreign popula-
tion generally. Owing to the receipt Of
advices saying that a band of armed vol
unteers from Greece were on their way
to Crete with the intention of reinforcing
the Cretan insurgents, the foreign ad-
mirals agreed to despatch a cruiser to
prevent their landing. The Mussulmans.
who were besieged at Candamo, have
arrived here on board an Italian war

Birmingham, Ala, March 10.-The

Sam Galloway, to reverse his engine.
When the train came to a stop, two
miles away. the men told him to eur the
engine loose. The men took the engineer
with lnem to the express car. Messenger

which lie did, and the men went inside
and secured d number of valuable pack
ages Then they escorted the engineer
back TO the engine, made him couple up
and ordered him to pub out None ~

number of men in the affair is estimated
ut four to six and the amount secured
all the way from 81 900 to $4,000. The
robbers had dynamite and would have

senger refused to open the door All
were disguised and heavily armed. A

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

"Wall street still remains sluggish"
says the Weekly Financial Review issued
by the banking house of Henry Clews d
Co., Of IS Wall street, New York City,
though with no abatement of the gen.
eral steadiness of values. One of the
conspicuous features of the stock market
is its ready response to favorable in
huences, and its comparative insensi-
bility to such as are unfavorable. The
predominant underlying conviction ap-
pears to be that the prevailing level Of
prices is not only safe one but below
the real intrinsic merits of securities,
considering existing conditions and the
prospects fairly deducible from the gem
eral situation of affairs. Bot as this
view counts more upon things antici-
pated than upon existing conditions, fav-
orable occurrences do not lead to any
really active and sustained upward move
ment. In brief, it is largely an expectant
market, and in that sense not yet suffi-
ciently developed to induce active opera
tions.
This hopeful tone has been confirmed
by q steady and really important improve.
ment in the condition OF the cereal crops
during the last week or ten days.
The new phase Of affairs in eastern Eu-
rope is encouraging TO the hope Of an
early removal OF that source Of disturb
ancs from foreign politics. II 10 not Inn

THE ROSWELL EXTENSION.

The Roswell extension will in all prob
ability be built. 1t is doubtful if this
country holds today another railroad
proposition of 30 much promise as this,
and capital is almost sure to find this
promising field sooner or later, whether
the people whom Mr.. Meeker represents,
should see fit to take hold of it, or not.
The country through which this proposed
line will pass for distance of 200 miles
abounds in resources of rich and varied
character. 1t is estimated that the live
stock shipments alone, would pay the
operating expenses of a road-and this
from its inception. With the operating
expenses assured from the start as the
outcome of single industry, it is not un-
reasonable to predict a handsome sur
plus as result of operation five years or
80 after opening up. The agricultural
development that would be sure to fol.
low railroad construction here, will be an
important item in the future of the line.
Towns will spring up at intervals along
the new road, settlers will as a matter of
course locate where their products find a
ready market, and general prosperity
will follow as matter of course.
The Pecos valley itself will figure enor-
mously in the matter of freight traffic
from the start. This section has long
sought an easier market for its products
than is at present afforded, and the line
proposed, which would give the valley {
Santa Fe connection at Washburn, Texas
thus cutting materially the distance to ar
eastern market, would be direct incen
tive to production and settlement in this
splendid section of the territory. The
road is sure to come.

CONGRESSIONAL HORSEpIAY,

The message from President Mckinley
TO congress referred to in these columns
on Saturday last as among the probabili-
ties of this week, has been promulgated,
and the senate has distinguished itself by
prompt action.
The ely game of certain representatives
who, thought they saw an opportunity to
tack the Morgan belligerency motion,
long pending, onto the relief resolution,
was promptly met and defeated by Mr..
Dingley. The house, however, failed to
pass the measure and deliberately ad-
journed until Thurday.
For striking examples of horseplay,
congress takes the bun. With nearly
1000 Americans suffering for the common
necessaries of life, In Cuba, what good ex-
cuse could the lower house have for re-
ieoting, even for three days the presi-
dents recommendation for relief. Three
days is long time to people periahing
for food. There can be no doubt of the
necessity which has constrained the chief
executive to ask for relief. He has made
personal investigation, and no one
could for a moment doubt the authentici-
ty of the information upon which he has
been, according to report, over two
months in satisfying himself, that the
conditions warranted an appropriation.
Convinced of this he sends special mes
sage to congress-.
One senator, Wellington of Maryland,
having 40 relevant objection to offer, goes
off into wild TRADE, in which he declares
that the administration was not put in
power to aid Crete or Cuba, but to aid
Americans. He concluded his nonsense
by lauding Grover Cleveland to the skys
"for not rushing the country into war
with Spain" This Is not all. Bailey of
Texas, wanted to fuse Morgan's belliger-
ancy motion with the relief resolution,
and the members we're obliged to listen
to another childish harangue. As though
the two measures had anything in com-
mon, or we're capable of fusion. Not
that anyone ever supposed that they could
be put through under the same head. 1t
was another of those childish tricks of
obstruction which take up 30 much
valuable time in the law-making body of
the land. Over this silly contention a
vote was taken on adjournment until
next Thursday. In all probability the
measure will pass the house when it is
next taken up, but what good reason can
there be for delaying the matter three
long days-precious days to between 600
and 800 starving people. This inex-
ousable delay looks more like school boy
tomfoolery than anything else.

ONE of the reasons why the Spaniards
would like, as monetary, military, civil
and commercial proposition, to give up
Cuba is, that when the debt incurred in the
present war is added to that of the last
war C6S '7S) the revenue of the island to
meet the obligations incurred if the
old range of prosperity could be reached
and that is utterly improbable-would
fail to meet the interest on the war debt
by at least $l6,oOO,o0O year. What
would Spain take for Cuba?

In his prompt response to the signal of
distress in Cuba, President Mckinley is
meeting the expectations of the great
majority Of people Of this country. No
censure can be too severe for the lower
house of congress, or rather few men,
bers of that house who render this prompt
and well meaning aid imperative for
even a few days. Opposition to the meas.
ure backed by anything like sound rea.
son could be tolerated. But there has
been no such opposition. The presidents

possible that the settlement between Tur-
key and Greece may temporarily hang
fire. For while Greece is ready enough to
accept almost any terms that will save her
army from annihilation, Turkey may be
expected to seize all the advantages she
can procure from her victory; and hence
may arise some anxious haggling between
her and the powers. With impatience of
restraint among the Turkish army, on the
one side, and danger of revolution
among the Greeks on the other side, this
sort of suspense cannot be long endured;
and the result is likely to be that the
powers will feel themselves constrained to
grant concessions to Turkey from which
the worlds public opinion will loodly
dissent. If Turkey is willing to suspend
actual operations 80 as to allow an oppor-
tunity for pacific negotiations, the occur
renee of the Feast of Bairam, which lasts
