Public Announcements of 1t r. Earded
as Proof That 1t VIII BE Found
Acceptable.

LONDON. Feb. 27.-The next move in
the Cretan game is anxiously awaited
According to the news from the con-
tinent, the Marquis of Salisbury's pro-
posal for the settlement Of the Difficult
ties is not yet formally Endorsed by the
powers. 1t is believed, however, that it
will be approved, or the premier would
not have made the public announce
ment on the subject which he did in
the house Of lords on Thursday last, by
reading the telegraphic instructions
sent to the ambassadors of Great Brit
ain at the courts of the great powers,
outlining the governments policy
towards Crete.
The premier's announcement was
promptly followed by the issue Of q
semi-official note from st. Petersburg,
displaying considerable irritation, in
some quarters, apparently against
Great Britain. 1t began by saying that
Russia, through her minister at Ath-
ems, had called upon Greece to with
draw all her troops and her fleet from
Crete within three days, and 1t was &C
companied by a statement that to pre-
vent an extension Of the revolution to
other portions of the Turkish empire,
imperiling the peace Of Europe, a stop
must be put to Greece's action, which,
1t was stated, Is opposed to interna-
tional law
Active communications are still pro-.
ceeding between the different European
cabinets. The marquis Of Salisbury
presided today at a special meeting
Of the cabinet at the foreign office.
Whether the solution Of the imbroglio
is peaceful or not depends entirely
upon Greece, and the dispatches from
Athens indicate that the feeling in ia
VOr of resistance to the powers is still
strong among all classes throughout
Greece, and that a declaration of war
with Turkey would be received with
enthusiasm.
The latest Greek proposal is said TO
be that Greece should administer Crete
as Austria administers Bosnia. But 1t
seems to be agreed on all sides that
peace can only be maintained by leav-
ing Crete part of the Turkish empire.
The marquis of Salisbury's proposals
have been received with favor, not only
by the British, but by most of the con-
t1nental newspapers. However, in the
meanwhile, military preparations are
proceeding apace in Turkey and Greece,
while everything is prepared in South
Russia for the transport Of big Rus
sian army to the Balkans whenever
this step may be deemed necessary.
kilograms from Vienna also declare
that Emperor Francis Joseph has had
repeated conferences with the Austrian
minister for war, that plans for the
mobilization of Austrian forces on the
Balkan frontier have been drawn up
and that horses are already being pur-
chased for military uses.
According to adv1ceS from small Bal
kan states, war preparations are pro-
ceeding there secretly, and, in Short
all the parties concerned are quite
prepared for an explosion at any me-
ment.

ATHLETIC ACTORS FAILURES.
COrbett One of the Few Who Makes
His Car Fare

Athletic actors" seem to be on the de-
cline, says the Kansas City Times. The stage
has been the Mecca of successful athletes
during the last few years, but now the pub
lie seems to be losing interest in stars of this
class. They will be given credit for their
athletic victories and viewed in much the
same light as a prize pig when placed on
exhibition in the near future
John l.. Sullivan was the first pugilist to
seek h1strionic fame, and made his debut in
Honest Hearts and Willing Hands" He
was paying star, but failure as an actor
His voice was more suited to boiler fac
tory.
George Hosmer, the Boston oarsman. was
the next athletic actor" He appeared as
the American at the Henley regatta In
THE Dark Secret" but was too bashful to
speak his lines.
Ed Hanlan tried and failed, as did Wal
lace Ross. Muldoon had nothing but his
shape to depend on, and did not elevate
the stage. Steve Brodie also performed
gracefully in tough barroom scene. which
would have brought to life dead hobo
FitZsimmons aspired to be an actor and
was given a part in a play called The Au-
stralians," but Bob was ungraceful and had
some bad mannerisms. His arms were very
long, and when he was standing erect he
would scratch the calves of his legs with
his fingers, and if the villain going across
the stage came near him Bob was sure to
step back quickly, duck his head and make
feint with his left.
1t is said the first night Bob went on the
stage to play his part he had to speak a.
oOliiOQuy VI QOZ6H lines or so. he made
his entrance, opened his mouth but not a
word would come forth, for he was frozen
deep. He began to hack and cough, with
first one hand to his mouth and then the
other, for fully half minute when one of
the actors walked up to him, gave him his
cue and made his exit on the opposite side
of the stage. Bob finished the speech, and
as he came off the stage he said to his man
ager: "Hully gee! I came near choking to
DEATH
Next came James J. Corbett the cham
pion pugilist. Corbett made his debut in the
title role of play called Gentleman Jack"
lie makes up well, but lacks intensity; his
voice has neither quantity nor quality.
AT the first performance of the play before
an audience, after much coaching and prep
aration, he gave the wrong arm to the lead
ing lady. thereby placing her on the up

Then, after, when he appeared in the bag

HANNA IN WASHINGTON.
Political Questions Taken Up by the
National Chairman.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Chairman
Hanna and party arrived at the Ar
lngtOn hotel, at o'clock this morn
ing, and were assigned to the apart
ments reserved for them. The party
Hanna, and maid; Miss Mabel Hanna,
Miss Ruth Hanna, Mrs. l.. G. Hanna
and maid.
Mr.. Hanna went to the capitol i'm
mediately upon his arrival, and was
in conference with Republican senators.
He held an extended consultation with
Senator Hoar, chairman of the judi
ciary committee, and who is well in
formed regarding senatorial elections,
upon the situation in Oregon. An eff
fort is being made by Mr.. Hanna, as
chairman of the national committee,
to secure the election of a Republican
senator in Oregon. The fact that the
legislature has never organized raises
the question as to the ability Of those
now sitting at Salem to adjourn. There
has been considerable telegraphic cor
respondence between Mr.. Hanna and
Republicans in Oregon, and it may re-
suit in an agreement among the Re-
pubfcanS of the legislature to elect a
senator. Mr.. Hoar indicated to MIR.
Hanna his belief that an appointment
by the governor would not be accepted
by the senate. Mr.. Hanna also had a
brief conference with Gen. Horace Por-
ter, grand marshal of the inaugural
parade; Gen. Alger. Mr. William Os-
borne, and National Committeeman
Scott, of West Virginia.

SERVICE FOR STEVENSON.
Silver Presented to the Retiring
officer by the Senate.

The senate this evening through a
committee, consisting of Senators Hoar,
Cullom, Blackburn, Carter, Hill, Nc
MILAN, German, Faulkner, Brice, Ba-
con, Jones (Ark); Murphy, Elkins and
Chandler, presented to Vice President
Stevenson, in his apartments at the
Normandie, a handsome and valuable
silver table service. 1t consisted of
center piece, soup tureen, vegetable
dishes, meat platter large pitchers,
walters, ETC., entirely covered with re-
pousse work Of the most elegant char
acter. 1t is inscribed as follows:
To Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States and Presi-
dent Of the Senate, 1893-1897 From
members of the senate, in token Of the
strict impartiality, unfailing courtesy,
and unsurpassed wisdom and discre-
ton, which, in the discharge of his
high office, have endeared him to the
senate, and earned for him the graft
tude of the American people" }.4
With the service an address was pre-
sented, carrying the signatures of So
of the go senators, including all the
members Of the senate in the city. The
address was written on parchment
paper, and is itself a valuable souvenir.

GOSSIP OF THE CYCLISTS.

;, me manufacturers of certain bicycles which
nSted last year at 500 recently adopted a
plan to dispose of them by Offering them at
reduction of $25. The present indications
are that this plan will not prove very sue
cesSIui. Experienced riders prefer new
$40 wheel of unquestioned merit to a last
years model at the same price, even though
Us u.s. last price last season may have been
slOo. throughout the South, where the sea-
son has opened, there seems to be little
call for last years wheels at SIS. Riders
are looking for a high grade up-to- date
wheel at SIS, and they can get it.
-, Somebody with fondness for figures shows
the large increase in the bicycle business in
the following paragraph: Prior to 1885 there
were IL coo machines turned out Five wears
later there were seventeen factories with
an output of 10000 wheels. In 1894 the fac
tories increased rapidly and 125 O00 machines
were turned out. year later the prodnction
was $4,000, and the number Of factories
more than $780, none of which turned out
less than LOCO wheels a year. The capital
invested In these large factories is $50. COO.
ana the estimate Of the output for the pres
ent year is not less than / 900 600 wheels
valued at $4,000, 900.
Much speculation Is being INDUCED lust
now as to who viii be the next Chairman
OF the national racing board. The latest
report has 1t that George Gideon of PhiIa1
delphia, has refused a reappointment. IF
this Is true 1t is not unlikely that A. G..
Batchelder will be offered the position. Mr..
Batchelder is one Of the best informed men
IN the league on all subjects relating to
racing and his appointment would no doubt
be very popular
A novel sight was witnessed in Cleveland
o., recently. A man appeared riding on
Superior street dragging a big sled after him
upon which was fastened a market basket.
Stopping at a grocery store the ingenious
cylst did his marketing, filled his basket, re-

mounted his wheel and proceeded homeward.

be other than pleasant and bracing

LEE INSULTED.
Called Liar by an Omcia1 of
Spain.

NEW YORK, Feb. PA dispatch
to the Herald from Havana, says:
The Martuis de Palmerola made scan
dalous personal attack on Gen. Lee
Wednesday at the palace in the pres
ence of several newspaper correspon-
dents. The incident arose because the
cersor refused to pass a dispatch for
the correspondents. which said that the
release of Scettuhad been demanded
because he was both arrested and kept
in prison in defiance of the law.
WHO told you that?" shouted Gen.
Palmerola, the secretary of state for
the island.
Gen. Lee" replied a correspondent
calmly.
Gen. Lee is a liar, impostor and
rebel shouted the little marquis with
an oath.
This incident is telegraphed merely
to show how the wind is blowing in
the palace and to let you see what
must be the treatment and position of
an ordinary citizen here when our
consul general is reviled openly in such
manner by one Of the heads of the
government here.
