Sencte Has 1t Under Consideration In
Executive Session.
washington, Feb. 9.-The senate at
o'clock Monday went into executive ses-
sion on motion of Sherman to consider
the arbitration treaty. The first ques-
ton that arose was a motion by Hill
that the arbitration treaty be discussed
i'm open session instead of behind closed
doors. He said that 1t was matter
in which the people were greatly inter-
ested and which ought to be public.
There was nothing in the treaty or In
its discussion that demanded secrecy.
Hewas followed by Gray of Delaware,
a member OF the committee on foreign
relations. who opposed public discus
sion. He said that on a matter deal
ing with foreign governments, senators
ought to be free and unhampered In
the expression of their views which
could only be when the senate was held
behind closed doors.
After considerable further debate a
yea and nay vote was taken on Hills
motion for an open session. which re-
suited against the motion by an over
whelming majority.

BOMBARDMENT REGUN
Foreign Warships Throwing Shells
into Canea, Crete.
GREECE'S PART IN THE ACTION

She Desires TO Possess the Island and VIII
Hazard War with Turkey to That End
Greek Squadron Refuses to Salute the
Turkish Flag on Arriving at Canea-Ali
Christians Leave the Threatened City
and Board Warships.
Athens, Greece, Feb. 9.-It is rumored
here that the foreign warships have be-
gun bombardment of Canea. Island
Of Crete. No confirmation of the report
can be obtained here. The German
warship Kaiserin Augusta has been or
dered to prepare to sail as soon as pos
sible for the island of Crete.
There are English, French, Russian
and German cruisers in the harbor of
Canea. The English, it is understood,
were delegated to lead in the fighting
when actual hostilities should become
imperative.
The Greek squadron, on arriving at
Canea, did not salute the Turkish flag.
Official advices say that the Mussul-
mans are preparing a massacre at Ret
imo. The representatives of some of the
powers have expressed to the Greek
|
sent warships to the island of Crete.
Large Demonstration.
Three thousand people took part Sun
day evening in manifestation in front
of the ministry Of marine. There were
continued cries of Long live Crete"
Long live the union" 1t is thought
possible that a ministerial crisis will re-
suit from the manifestations.
The announcement that Prince
George, the second son of the King OF
Greece, will command the torpedo fleet
which is now in readiness to start for
Crete to join the Greek squadron, has
added strength to rumors taht Greece
will insist upon union with Crete. 1t
is a well-known fact that the Chris
tians. who are now in possession or the
whole island with the exception of
Heraklion and Retimo, are only await
ing a signal from Greece to proclaim
union with that country The present
uprising in Crete is looked upon by
many statesmen in this country as q
move on the part Of the Sultan of Tur-
key to draw the attention of England
France and Russia away from Constan-
tinople.
Greece Does Not Hesitate.
Greece, whose quarrel with Turkey
has been growing more serious from
day to day, has not hesitated to take
advantage of the eXcesses of the Turk
ish soldiers on the island, and is send
ing all of her naval force there. Should
the sultan regard this move as chal'
lenge. there would be presented eT1'
plications which will quickly force the
hands of the powers in dealing with the
Turkish situation. These fresh and un'
anticipated difficulties, the sultan is M
doubt aware, will put a strain upon the
harmony between the powers which ha'
only existed for a short time. The sui
tan therefore will naturally be only too
glad to destroy the unity of purpos'
g among the powers at the expense OF
2 controversy with Greece.
