CANEA, Crete. 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 al least
two of the powers.
When the sun rose this morning it was
seen that there were strange vessels al

that they were British and Italian trans
ports loaded with troops. evidently part
of the foreign force which, the ad-
mirals recommended. will occupy all the
principal seaport towns of the island.
The Turks assert that these troops will

Crete, but this belief is not shared by the
foreign population generally.
Owing to the receipt of advices saying
that band of armed volunteers from
Greece were on their way to Crete with
the intention of reinforcing the Cretan in
surgents. the foreign adm5rals agreed to
dispatch a cruiser to prevent their landing.

REFORMING SENATE RULES
A Change Proposed 70 Limit the Powers Of
7est Obst7aetionists.
Sentiment *App---- to BE Fevora''e
to the sass<"''on' Which Con-
templates NstAins Radical.

The proposition made in the Senate by
Mr.. Hoar today for change in the Sen
ate rules, which will limit the power of a
minority to obstruct legislation, is to be
seriously pressed. The limitations of the
power of the minority contained in the
proposed change are not radical. The
proposition leaves ample opportunity for
free debate. q
The republicans are .iIy in favor of
the proposition and th>, say that 1t will
have very substantial support from demo-
Gratis. The purpose is to take up the propo-
sition immediately after the meeting of
the extra session. and the hope is that it
may be possible to adopt it during the in
terval before the tariff bill is sent over
The republicans think that they have
votes enough to make thA change in the
mild form proposed. and tn It the opposition
will not resort to filibuste} to defeat it.
The purpose of this change is to relieve
the Senate to some degrde from one-man
tyranny and to facilitate the passage of the
tariff bill. 1t does not appear that there is
to be an obstructive policy adopted toward
'he tariff bill by any of the factions in the
Senate. but under the present practice of
the Senate it is possible for one senator
who may be disappointed as to some item
in the bill to hold up the legislation until
his demands are acceded to-

In the gossip prevalent ever the probable

founded assertion that Mr.. Fred Bracket
of Washington and Baltimore will be re-
appointed to his old position as chief clerk

with such signal ability and satisfaction
several years ago. Mr.. Bracket Is just
concluding his duties as corresponding sec
retary Of the executive committee having
in charge the arrangements for the cele-
bration of the Inauguration; but the proper
term for his position would have been gem
eral manager of the preliminaries. His ex-
perience and discretion made him peculiar

Chairman Bell expressed his appreciation
of Mr.. Brackett yesterday when he de-
c.ared with hearty emphasis that Mr.
Brackett had been the most valuable as
sistant he had during the period Of their
association. II he receives the appoiat-

assured, the announcement will be received
with warm approval by the hosts of friends

tions today agreed to report the Alaskan

There was no material discussion of the
Alaskan treaty and no criticism of any of
its features the part of any senator,

indeed, such an evident desire for coop
Grafton that it was remarked upon by MEM
bers Of the committee as an evidence of a
change Of feeling with the change of ad-
miniStration. -. r.= e..
Senator Davis, the new chairman of the
committee, presided. He had made a study
of the treaty and was able to explain it's
provisions. which he did in detail. 1t was
the opinion of all the members that the
treaty would result to the advantage of
the United States. 1t was stated that the
detection of the line so as to place the sum-
nit of Mount st. Elias directly on the line
Of demarcation would result in gain to
the United States of thirteen or fourteen
square miles of territory.
Later in the day Senator Davis reported
to the Senate resolution favorable to
ratification of the Alaskan boundary treaty
and asked for it's immediate consideration.
Senator Stewart interposed an objection,

large blackfaced flag, like the one
used by the weather bureau, was repre-
sented on the card, conveying the idea that
the pasteboards were issued officially. The
condition of the weather was threatening
and when the people saw these advertising
cards they became very much alarmed.
Soon the police, the weather bureau and
the newspaper offices were flooded with
telephone and private messages asking if a
tornado was really predicted. People in
the residence portion of the city gathered
their families together and prepared for
trouble. Many of the schools on the south
word was received of the supposed ap-
preaching storm, and the frightened chill
dren came home trembling in tears to tell
the bad news to their parents.

SPECIAL SENATE SESSION
Its Work Finished and an Adjournment
Sine Die Made.
Two Proposed Amendments to the
Rules offered by MIR. HOar - Mr..
Woods Credentials Referred.

There was an unusually large attendance
of senators when Vice President Hobart
called the Senate to order at noon today.
The first business was the reading of a
letter from Governor Bradley of Kentucky
announcing the appointment of Andrew I.
Wood as senator to succeed Mr.. Blackburn
Mr.. Hoar was on his feet at once with
motion that the senator-elect be sworn.
Mr.. German made a motion that the Gre
dentials of Mr.. Wood be referred to the
committee on privileges and elections. re-
marking that the questions involved were
well understood.
Mr.. Hoar said that he would not object
to that motion, and the credentials were
referred
Proposed Amendments to the Rules.
Then Mr.. Hoar presented written notice
of two proposed amendments to the rules
of the Senate of radical nature. The
most important was, according to Mr..
Hoars written notice ito enable the Sen
ate to act on legislation when it desires,
after reasonable debate" 1t provided that
when any bill or resolution had been un-
der consideration more than one day any
ser ator could demand that debate ,e
closed. If majority of the senators so de-
cided there should be a vote without fur
ther delay. and no motion should be in
order pending the vote but one to adjourn
or to take a recess.
The other amendment proposed was to
prevent the interruption of the business of
the Senate, and provided that when a SEN
ator made the point OF no quorum there
should be a roll call, and if the presence
of quorum was disclosed business should
be proceeded with.
A memorial was presented hy Mr.. Shoup
from the Idaho legislature asking for the
annexation of a part of Wyoming. 1t was
not read. bu. Mr.. Warren, referring 10 it,
said that If the Wyoming legislature had
been informed Of the memorial 1t would
have taken action.
1t was decided. on motion of Mr.. Hoar,
that when the Senate adjourn 1t be until
Monday IL 80. That makes today's
sitting practically the close of this extra
session. the special session of the Fifty
fifth Congress will begin at noon Monday.

Senate went into executive session al 1915.
Special Session Adjourned.
In executive session the Senate recon
sidered its action to adjourn until Monday
at II 30. and agreed that the adjournment
should be sine die. This was found ex-
pedient. as no business could be transacted
in half, an hour cf Monday. and even If
nominal tions should be made in that halt
| hour they would fail if not Immediately
confirmed.

WILLING 10 ARBITRATE.
Claim of the United States Against
Siam.

LONDON, March 1o.-A dispatch TO the
Times from Singapore says that the United
States government has agreed TO submit TO
arbitration its claim against Siam arising
out of the assault made in December last
by Siamese soldiers at Bangkok upon the
United States vice consul general, Mr.. Ed
ward ID. Kellett. Ii is understood by the
Times correspondent that the United States
also submit to the arbitration the old claim
known as the Cheek claim, with respect TO
which unsatisfactory negotiations have
been for a long time in progress between
United States Minister Barrett and the
Siamese government.
The Cheek claim grows out of contract
made several years ago between the SIAM
ese government and DIR. Cheek. an Amer
ican known as the teak king" according
to which he was to take out teak logs from
the interior OF the country for term of
years with his own elephants. and to share
the profits of the venture with the Siamese
aut thorities. DIR. Cheek advanced the gov
ernment $200.o00 for the concession. In
consequence of the severe drouth which
prevailed for two years after the contract
was signed he was unable to take out the
logs. The Siamese government charged
him with delinquency and violation of con-
tract, seized his elephants. confiscated his
logs. and without the proper legal pro-
ceedings forced him into bankruptcy. DIR.
Cheeks appeals to the King of Siam for
dress were Intellectual. and ultimately he
appealed to the United States government.
There is believed to be close connection
between the Cheek claim and the attack
upon Mr.. Kellett.
