british Commons Aroused.

LONDON, Feb. 2a.-The parliamentary
secretary for the foreign Office, Mr. George
y. Curzon, answering question I'm the
house of commons, said that the presence
of the Greek troops in the island of Crete
so far appeared to have added TO the dis
order.
The powers, he continued, did not in,
tend to delegate to the Greek forces the
duty of keeping order in the interior of the
island.
Mr.. Curzon further denied that the war
ships had attacked the Greeks. Ho insist
cd, however, that the foreign fleets had nc
choice but to prevent by force the contin.
ued advance of the insurgents on Khania
This statement was greeted with Oppo
sition cries of "shamew and ministerial
cheers.
Mr.. Henry Labouchere moved the ad
journment of the house in order to call
attention to the firing on the Greek forces
by British warships, and all the member:
OF the Opposition present rose in support
of tho motion, including the whole of the
front Opposition bench.
Mr.. Labouchere said that the question
was not party one but a national one,
and he added:
The Liberals will do thoir utmost &C.
prevent further action in behalf of that
miserable cur, that foul blot upon civili
zation, tho sultan Of Turkey
The speaker pointed out that the rules
of the house required the use of moro re
spectful language toward foreign sover
eign, whereupon Mr.. Labouchere apollo
gized, explaining that he was carried
away by the statements Of Mr.. Gladstone
and others.
Dnion's Ringing Words.
John Dillon seconded the motion to ad
jOurn the house. and in so doing said that
the house had been too silent, and the re
suit was that her majesty S ships had com
mitted an outrage in firing upon people
who, after centuries of oppression, wers
risking their lives for freedom.
Mr. A. ]. Balfour, the first lord of th,
treasury and government leader, dwelt
upon the difficulty and danger Of the pres
ent crisis. The powers, he explained, were
absolutely unanimous in agreeing that
they should do everything to avert war
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. the Lib
eral leader, who was loudly cheered by the
Opposition, said that the time had come
when the voice of England ought to be
heard. Continuing, Sir William asked:
What is the interposition Of England,
Why are we in Cretes What are we doing
theres
The only policy worthy Of the govern
ment of England, " said Sir William Yer
non Harcourt, is to detach Crete from

nent of the Greeks.
