Japan and Argentine Ministers Formal.
~ Protest Against New Tariff Rares.
WASHINGTON. April 8.-The first open
and formal expressions of dissatisfac-
ton with the pending tariff bill on the
part of foreign nations have come to
the state department from Japan and
Argentine. The japanese minister has
expressed the regret of his government
at the proposed adoption of silk SEIZED.
ules that without promising to help
out the manufacturers Of the United
States, threaten seriously the impor.
TAM trade Japan has built up at great
expense with the United States in raw
and partly manufactured silk. The
Argentine minister has added his
protest. not, as has been stated, in the
form of a threat of reprisals, but in the
usual diplomatic form, against the
Proposed Duty on Hides
and other raw materials coming from
his country in great quantities to the
United States. 1t is pointed out by
him when the United States in the
Wilson act placed wool ON the free list
and placed no duty on hides, the gov.
eminent of Argentine, voluntarily in
recognition Of the friendly spirit shown,
responded by placing lumber on their
free list and by reducing duties on
other important imports from the
United States. No threat is made of
restoring these duties to the old figure.
That would be out of place i'll a diplo-
matte note at the initial stages Of a
protest and may follow later.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 3.-The food
situation in the Mississippi delta at
Greenville is decidedly better as to the
probable loss of life and further de-
struction of levecs. The half dozen
%crevasses on the Arkansas and Missis-
sippi shores between Helena and
Greenville have drawn IN immense
volume Of water out Of the main chan
mel which is spreading itself over the
lowlands Lut not with that degree of
rapidity that cuts off escape to the in
habitants of the low countries. The
river shows a decline from a point be-
low Helena to the Wayside revasse.
The decline above Greenville in many
places is as great as 10 inches. The
damage to the farming country in the
delta cannot be exaggerated. Five
counties will be for the most part under
water for 80 days, and the main line
and branch lines Of the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley road will have more
than 100 miles of track inundated.

ALLIES OF TURKS
Cretan Insurgents So Regard the
Powers at the Present
Juncture.
Significant Feature the License
Given the London Times
Correspondents,
Who Roundly Denounce the Pol
icy Of the Concert of
Europe.

New YORK, April "A special to
The World from London says: The
most significant feature of the Crctan
situation, at least so far as Great Brit
ain Is concerned, is the continued
license the London Times gives to its
special correspondents, both at Athens
and on the frontier, to denounce the
policy of the concert Of Europe.
Government organ though The Times
is, it gives its most conspicuous place
to such expressions from Its Athens
correspondent as these:
THE concert of Europe is rapidly fall
ing into contempt. P%illaging Of prop
erty of Christians lin Crete) apparently
goes on unchecked, and bands OF
Bashi. Bazouks continue to make pred.
atory excu1 sions. The evaporation
among the insurgents il increasing,
and the powers are now regarded by
them as allies Of the Turks.
Six or eight weeks ago, q force Of
marines from the feet might have
traversed the island without molesta-
ton, but that is not the case now.
Letters from Crete state that the in.
surgents have come to regard the
European troops with the same hatred
as the Turks, and it is certain that SO
long as the Turkish army remains this
feeling will increase.
The correspondent practically urges
that the only reasonable solution Of the
question Is, after all, a mandate to
Greece to restore order.
Powers Have Made War Inevitable.
r The London Chronicle, discussing
the proposed blockade of Athens, goes
30 far as to say:
The powers, including England.

Greece must take her chances. She
will face fate as bravely. a~s::honorably,
as she has faced the bullying of Europe
and the blackguardism Of the chan.
cellors, but the people of England
must at least for shame's sake see that
she is handicapped by no blockade"
The Spectator and the Chronicle
openly invite American ships at least
to dare the admirals, since no blockade
is legal unless war is actually declared
