ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-All
the admirals except the French and
Italian commanders have been ordered
to Immediately blockade the principal
Greek ports, especially the Piraeus
(the port of Athens), Syra and Volo.
An ultimatum will forthwith be ad-
dressed to Greece by the admirals of
the foreign fleets.
Paris, March 15.-The proposal of
the powers that France and Italy accu-
py the Island of Crete with a mixed
force of 25, 900 men has been declined
by. the governments of those two coun-
tries on the score of expense. The &C
cupation of Crete. therefore, will be
undertaken by the forces of the six
powers, although Germany and Austria
Will only nominally take part in the
occupation, in order to show that they
were agreeable to the measure. The
powers are now discussing the details
of the autonomous government to be
conferred upon Crete and the choice of
a governor who, it is said will be a
Frenchman.
LONDON, March 15.-John Dillon.
chairman of the Irish parliamentary
party in the house Of commons today
asked by what righ the admirals of the
foreign fleet in Cretan waters had ex-
PEELED Greek subjects from Crete. The
parliamentary secretary for the foreign
office, Mr.. CurzOn, in reply said that
the admiral were acting under the in
structions of the powers and that the
latter had assumed the responsibility
of maintaining peace and order. Re-
plying to further questions Mr.. Curzon
said it would be made clear to the
Cretans that under the autonomous
government, which 1t was proposed to
establish. they would not remain under
Turkish rule.
Rome, March 15.-It is semi -officiall ,
stated here this afternoon that all the
foreign admiFals have received orders
to blockade the island of Crete. But. it is
added, the blockade of Greece would
only occur If the Gretan blockade
should prove inadequate The Greek
fleet is expected to leave Crete, other
wise it will be escorted outside Gre
tan waters.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. March 15.-The four
ambassadorships are apparently par
celed out by the newspapers; but Presi-
dent Mckinley has only agreed upon
two of them. Col. John Hay is to go
to Great Britain, and Gen. Horace Por-
ter to France.
Hon. William F. Draper is believed to
be slated for the Italian ambassador
ship; but that position is not yet as
sured Senator Lodge and Senator
Hoar say that they believe Mr.. Draper
will be appointed; and they say it with
a grain of doubt. The Massachusetts
Republican congressman are more em-
phatic in their declarations; but still
there are other names under consider
alton. Ex-Gov. Hubbard, of Minnesota,
Is being urged by the Minnesota men,
and they still have some hopes.
The mention of the name of eX-Gov.
William R. Merriam. of Minnesota. for
the position of ambassador to Germany,
is made by men who do not understand
the situation in the Gopher State. Mr.
Merriam is the most deadly foe of Sen
ator Davis, of Minnesota, and Senator
Davis is chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations 1t is
scarcely possible that the committee on
foreign relations would make a favor
able report on the nomination of Mer-
riam for any position; so long as Chair
man Davis inclined to. opposed his con-
firmation. Therefore, 1t is not likely
that he can be confirmed If nominated.
President Mckinley understands the
situation; and hence will not be likely
to nominate Merriam; who would have
been made secretary of the treasury,
but for the opposition of Senator Davis.
Consequently, his name may as we'll be
eliminated from the diplomatic states.
Congressman Eddy says he has come
to the conclusion that, with the pos
printer, there is no chance for the Min
nesota delegation.
REPUBLICANS CAN ORGANIZE.
Ex-senator John H. Mitchell of Ore

China AS long as he remains in this
country 1t will be impossible for the

All Republican managers want an ex-
ira session of the Oregon legislature
called, because it is important to have
a Republican senator from that state,
in order that the 5Republicans may
gain complete control Of the United
States senate.
Until today it has not been believed
possible that the Republicans could
control the senate, but close political
calculstors say that 1t is probable that

adoption, temporarily, of the rules Of
the last house. an Intellectual attempt
was made under the leadership of MIR.
Hepburn, an Iowa Republican, to limit
the operation Of the rules of the last
congress which were adopted tempo
rarily to thirty days. The Democrats,
Populists and fourteen Republicans
supported him, but they were defeated
183 to 152.
This was the only incident out of the
ordinary connected with the proceed
ings of the day. The presidents mes
sage was applauded vigorously, as was
Mr.. Dingley when he introduced the
new tariff bill. The speaker appoint
ed the Republican members of the old
committee on the new ways and means
committee and added Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas Mr. Robertson, of Louisiana,
and Mr.. Swanson, of Virginia, to the
Democratic membership. In view of
the action of the Democratic caucus
Mr. McMillin, who was at the head Of
the minority of the committee, was
superseded by Mr.. Bailey, although
Mr. McMillin was left on the COM
mdttee.
The drawing for seats occasioned the
usual merTiment and good humor. The
speaker announced the members of the
committees on rules ways and means
and mileage, as follows:
Rules-The speaker, Henderson, of
Iowa; Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. Re
publicans; Bailey, of Texas, and Me-
Millin, of Tennessee, Democrats.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Fif-
ty-fifth house of representatives organ
lied today. Although the proceedings
were perfunctory. the scene was a
brilliant one. Great crowds were at
tracted to the galleries hours before
noon. But the general public had
small opportunity to view the proceed
ings. The section opposite the speak
er's rostrum, commonly known as the
"black belt" which has a seating ca
pacity Of about 300, was given up to
the public. The other galleries were
strictly reserved for ticketholders. The
most striking feature of the scene on
the floor was the number of new
faces. Old, familiar figures, conspicu-
Gus in the shock of many a parlia-
mentary battle had disappeared, and
in the new lists were new and untried
knights The change in the personnel
was very great.
By II o'clock the reserved galleries
with the exception of those for the
diplomatic corps, and the executive,
were walled in, tier on tier. The bright
costumes of the ladies gave light and
color to the animated scene. AS the
hands Of the clock pointed to II, Maj
Mcdowell, the clerk, raped the house
to order. Rev. Cowden, the blind chap
lain of the house, then delivered the in
vocation, appealing to the throne for

enthusiastically received on his appear
ance in the house after his election,
and made a graceful and dryly humor-
Gus speech in assuming the gavel. He
said:
Gentlemen Of the House of Representatives:
1t has been the custom of hundred years
for speakers-elect to fully express their graf
itude and their sense Of the honor conferred,
so the language by which thanks are con-
Veyed has been long ago exhausted. Will
you pardon me if l confess that in all the
occasions when l have stood here l have
been more oppressed by the sense of of re-
sponsibility than cheered by the sentiment
of thankfulness.
Yet l appreciate-no man more-the high
honor of your vote and the confidence which
dictated It. But high as the honor is, it will
surely fade unless your favor is permanent.
cannot, having had experience, expect to
please all of you always, but l do hope, with
your assistance and your kind forbearance
to administer justice to each member, and to
both sides of the chamber, under the rules
established by the house Of representatives,
without fear, favor or hope of reward.
According to time-honored custom,
Mr.. Helmer (Rep., Pa.), the oldest
member in continuous service. ad-
mtnistered the oath to the speaker.
After the new members had been
sworn in by the speaker, the oath was
administered by unanimous consent to
Messrs. Dolliver Of Iowa, Ball, Of
Texas, and Pierce and McNIillin, of
| Tennessee, whose credentials had not
yet arrived. Mr.. Grosvenor then pre-
sented a resolution, which was adopt
ed, for the election Of the candidates

is determined to maintain its opposi

is generally believed that the enforce
