Public Opinion i" sympathy With King
George.
LONDON, ENG, Feb. 20-All political
interest is now centered in the struggle
over Crete, and though it would be un-
wise to predict how or what the outcome
will be. il is the general opinion here that
Greece will ultimately attain her object
aud again count the island as one OF her
possessions. Popular opinion in England
is strongly in favor of Greece. The pro-
posal m ade by Germany that q Joint fleet
of the powers blocEa lie the Pirseas, the
port OF Athens, in order TO compel Greece
to heed the demands made upon her, has
caused the deepest indignation here. 1t
is pointed out that the youthful and ex-
tremely impulsive German Emperor may
have other than political objects in view
in his desire TO intiict humiliation upon
the Greeks.
A news agency dispatch from Paris
says: The Russian agency here asserts
that the Gar has sent an autograph letter
to the King Of Greece warming him to
cease The Greek preparations for war
The dispatch adds that the foreign diplc-
mats in ST. Petersburg are confident that
in consequence of the accord of the pow
ers all danger of war is over.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-02-21

paper also asserts that Germany will insist
that CIR, ece must evacuate Crete before
the powers consider the matter of the ad-
mission of the island.
The actual position of the negotiations
on the subject at present shows however,
that this assertion is not correct, as the
powers are now discussing the scheme of
administration proposed by Lord Sails
bury, which permits the Greek; troops
which are already in Crete to remain on
the island until n settlement of the Cretan
difficulty is completed. There is pro-
found conviction in political circles here
that Greece will submit to the wishes of
the powers and that an extension of the
war is highly improbable.

CARSON, NEv., Feb. 2O.-And now Bob
Fitzsimmons is on the ground.
The lanky Cornishman who is so anx-
ious to pummel the head of Corbett sub
jected the populace to one disappointment
by not arriving as per programme on the
morning train, but then that really served
to whet the public desire 70 get a squint at
the man who at present is the real owner
of the title of champion of the world. In
consequence there was a veritaDle mob a
the depot when the little accommodation
train came cracking in over the ice
covered rails.
Fitzsimmons did not emulate the ex-
ample of Corbett by endeavoring to deny
the thrcng by lodging out of the rear exit
OF the car. He tripped jauntily off the
front end and upon the platform right in
the very midst of them. Bob is not averse
to crowds. He was always prone to allow
ing himself to be admired and to listening

| city, with Colonel A. G. Gassen as grand
marshal and enant-Commander R.
R. Ingersoll, executive officer of the Phila-
delphia, as chief of staff and virtually in
com mand. The crew of the BRITISH
cruiser Comus will march on American
soil.
Altogether there will be fully 1900
sailors marines and soldiers in line, and
the parade, being strictly military, will be
peculiarly imposing. The afternoon will
be given up to football, races and various
amusements, and at S o'clock t center
OF attraction will be transferred to the
bay, where the great water carnival is to
take place. If ever there existed an ideal
sheet OF water for this purpose San Diego
Bay is that same. Stretching gracefully
for fourteen miles in length and less than
two in its greatest breadth, its waters
ever placid beneath skies that never
frown, 1t is one OF the mo ost beautiful crea-
tions of nature.
Exactly as the clock strikes a gun will
be fired from the bow of the gorgeously
decorated and brilliantly lighted barge of
the Goddess OF the carnival, Mrs. Lewis
Reed Works. This will be the signal for
the carnival procession to start. The
head launch will lead off from a beacon
near the steamship wharf and moving
westward down the bay the procession
of twenty-four brilliantly Illuminated
launches, each having three or more boats
In tow, will pass in review before the ad-
mlral and the fleet of warships.
The procession will be more than two
miles in length, and the fireworks display
will last over two hours. All the war
ships will be Illuminated by electricity,
and scores of Japanese lanterns will be
suspended from every yard. Seven
thousand Japanese lanterns and 5000
colored Roman candles will be used in the
display, besides several thousand pounds
Of Greek fire.
Among those to whom great credit is
due for the success thus far attending this
undertaking, none is more deserving than
Chairman Cantlin. Director-General R.
V. Dodge and J. E. O'Brien, chairman of

Should the King decide otherwise Ger
many, Russia and Austria will ask the CO.
operation of the OF er powers and will
undertake to force Greece into submission
to the wishes of the European Govern
ments. 1t is understood in official circles
here that negotiations with the Govern
ment at Athens will be concluded and a
decision reached one way or the other by
Tuesday, and It is also believed here that
England and Italy will join the other
powers in blockade of the Pir8us if such
action is deci ed upon.
The Emperor has been much blamed
for taking precipitate action against
Greece, but there is good reason for stat
ing that his Majesty's sudden invitation
was largely due to the receipt of concur
rent dispatches from Constantinople and
Athens representing the imminence ofthe
danger of a Turkish invasion of Grece,
which the Greek forces are utterly unpre-
pared TO resist. King George has practi-
cally a ked Russia and Germany TO pre-
vent the Porte from making war upon the
Greek frontier while Greece used her land
and sea forces to acquire possession of
Crete, but this extremely cold request wa,
not complied with. The Emperor's policy
Is not by any means guided by public
opinion, but the weight of public opinion
in this case is certainly on the side Of
approval of the Emperor's policy Of inter
vention to restrain Greece from plunging
into war.
Only a few Liberal newspapers which
are biased by sentiment favorable TO
Greece speak against the blockading OF
the Pir@us. Nevertheless German popu-
lar feeling is nowise in sympathy with the
Turk. This policy OF the Emperor is re-
celving popular support because it is gen
orally recognized as being most opportune
and prudent.
The Cologne Gazette expresses the
DRIFT of the best current feeling by saying
that the powers must counterbalance the
pressure OF Turkey by checking with Sc

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Feb. 20.-With peals
of thunder and flashes OF lightning Colo
mel Jupiter Pluvius assumed command of
the big water carnival as grand marshal.
and all day the high winds and furious
downpour have attested his supreme dicta-
torship. Tonight, after nearly two inches
of rain has fallen, the atmosphere seems
somewhat clearer and the god of storms
may conclude to depart tomorrow and
allow the festivities to go on without his
presence-for which favor. if granted, the
1000 visitors now in the city. as well as the
10000 people who call San Diego "home,"
will be truly grateful.
Because of the storm and the high sea
the aquatic sports have all been postponed
until Tuesday afternoon, and the visitors
to-day dragged them selves about the CITY
or doleiuliy warmed their feet by cheerless
oil stoves in hotels and lodging houses.
A telegram received by Mayor Carlson
from Washington tonight reads as fol-
lows:

known, 10 march as an armed force on
American soil, and this, too, on the ami
versary of the birth of the man OF ell

WtLLtng to join fn the Blockade of nm.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 20.-The pro-
posals of the Emperor to blockade the
PH@us, the port of Athens, which various
papers, especially the English journals
Yesterday characterized as having Jailed
com pleteIy, are on the verge of provisional
acceptance by England, Italy and France.
Prior to the Kaiser's starting on a shoot
ing trip TO Hubertusstock last evening his
Majesty received dispatches from London
and Rome conveying the information that
the British and Italian Governments had
assented to the proposal to blockade the
ports of Greece, in the event of the per-
4 stence OF the King of the Hellenes in
Toing to wa7 with Turkey unless Crete
should be ceded to Greece.
The request made by Lord Salisbury
that Greece be allowed time to pause and
consider the effect of her headstrong ac-
tin las been virtually conceded by the
powers, and if King George decides upon
a cessation of warlike operations the end
ing of hostilities and the union of Crete
with Greece will be made coincident.

THE AUSTRIAN TROUBLES.
Decisive Measures Taken to Preserve
the Peace in Prague.

Prague, Dec, 3.-As an indication of
the gravity of the situation troops to
the number Of 10000, equipped with
ammunition and other paraphernalia
as for campaign, have been engaged
in suppressing the riots here.
The Ambulance association has issued
report showing that within the last
"a hours four persons have been killed,
$50 dangerously wounded and 500 more
or less seriously injured. Twenty shops
have been burned out.
1t is not exactly martial law that has
been proclaimed, but rather the insti-
tuition of summary civil procedure,
called standrecht, whereby a special
tribunal of seven judges is empowered
to impose capital and other severe SEN
fences for offenses ordinarily punished
mildly. There is no appeal against
death sentence by the tribunal, which
must be put into execution within two
hours by the military if the hangman is
not available.
1t is evident that the standrecht was
not proclaimed here moment too soon.
Well-dressed men, it is said, rode on
bicycles through the city and the sub
urbs making lists of the German places
marked for attack, and the work of the
rioters being done in accordance with
these lists, and in many places stimuli

MRS. NANCY ALLISON MKINLHY
at Pittsburgh special train was placed
at their disposal by the Pennsylvania
company and they came ON to Canton
at the rate of nearly mile minute.
AS soon as the train reached Canton
the president hurried to the carriage
in which Charles r. Miller, Judge Il. T.
McCarty and Editor George B. Frease,
of the Repository, had gone to meet
him and was driven to the house. The
president has scarcely been out of the
house since his arriva! and spent most
of the day in his mothers room.
Friday was one Of great suspense in
the Mckinley family. The nearness of
the messenger of death was realized
every moment of the day and that there
could be no other than a fatal ending
to the illness with which Mother Nc
Kinley was stricken Thursday morn
ing. The attending physician could
give them no hope of different result,
and it is to the remarkable constitution
Of the woman who has reached the ripe
old age of nearly SO years without ILL
ness of any consequence that he at
tributes the fact that the flame of life
was not extinguished earlier in the ILL
ness.
Only twice was there evidence of par
tial consciousness. The first was when
President Mckinley reached the sick
room. His sister Helen announced his
arrival by saying: Mother, here is
William. If you recognize him hold
out your hand" The enfeebled patient
seemed to understand and to make an
effort to extend her hand, which was
Immediately graspeG by the devoted
son. He thought he felt responsive
tightening of her hand about his own
as he did so, but the recognition was
so slight as to be almost imperceptible.
It was some time later that second
slight rally seemed to occur. A bunch
of beautiful flowers was sent from the
conservatory of the white house, and
when they were taken into the room
she noted their arrival and seemed to
make an effort to reach for one. The
president quickly selected beautiful
white lily and handed it to her. She
took it in her hand and carried it to
her bosom, it being apparent that she
was conscious Of the act and appreci-
ated the flower.

President at His Mothers Bedside.
Canton, o., Dec. 3.-At an early hour
Thursday morning Mrs. Nancy Allison
Mckinley, the venerable mother of the
president, was stricken with paralysis,
and her death is believed to be only a
question of short time.
DR.. Williams, the attending physician,
says the disease from which Mother
Mckinley is suffering is not primarily
paralysis, but senility, the result of old
age which has produced the partial
paralysis. In such cases, he says, there
is general breaking down of the pow
ers and nothing left upon which to
build up strength and the basis of re-
covery.

Kinley and his wife arrived here at
