MES the charge. The young lady. he says,
came into his place and got milk shake,
remaining a very short while. Some time
later she came back and inquired If she
had left bundle there. He told her that
he did not think so and left the front of

REVOLUTION SPREADING.
The Situation in Crete Shows No I'm
provement-

Athens, Feb. 10.-According to reports
received from the Island of Crete dur
ing the past twenty-four hours the sit
uation has not changed for the better.
The revolution is spreading and the
Christians are. in most cases, fighting
under the flag of Greece.
The commanders of the foreign men
of-war now lying off Canea persuaded
the commander of the Greek squadron
to salute the Turkish flag The Greek
commander was also given to under
stand that the bonba rdment of Canea
or the landing of troops would, under
no circumstances, be permitted.
King George and his ministers are
now in perfect accord on the subject of
the Cretan policy and a royal decree
has been published to the effect that all
available Greek warships shall be put
into commission and requiring that
several of them be sent to Crete with
the least possible delay.
A strange feature about the Cretan
situation is that the dividing line be-
tween the combatants is creed only and
not race. Substantially the whole
population rs Greek by race, but while
the Greeks by religion number 2'r0. 900
they live side by side with about 10000
Mussulmans. The latter almost all
descendants Of renegade Greeks, hat
ing the Christians ardently and as cor
daily hated by the Christians.

the press has taken a sudden turn,

troubles, the Russian papers are now
equally sure England is at the bottom
of it all The Moscow Viedomosti says:
out of the English intrigues come the

COMBINATION STORY DENIED.
Lewelling Says He Has Not Made a
Deal With Leland

There is runor among the Ieg1Sia-
tors to the effect that as a result of a
conference between Cy Leland and the
POpuIist leaders. represented by ex-GOv-
LeWeIling a the Blossom house in Kan
sas City last week, Wichita is to have a
normal school through the agency of
Republican votes in exchange for which
a sufficient number of POpulist senators
have agreed to vote with the RepubH-
cans to defeat legislation against the
Kansas City stock yards.
This report created excitement and
Senator LeweIling was besieged with
INQUIRIES concerning IT.
The ex-governor denies all knowledge
of any such deal To Journal reporter
he said:
This report has no foundation, what
ever. I have never had a conference
with Mr. Leland or any other RepubH-
can upon this subject. and know
nothing concerning it. 1t is absolutely
false in every particular
$50 far as Mr.. Leland is concerned,
1 have never met him and doubt very
much if I would know him were I to
meet him in a crowd I have seen him
and that is the extent of my acquaint
ance."
Mr.. LeweIling expressed surprise that
such a report should gain circulation,
and said:
so far as the stock yards are con-
cerned. am in favor of the most strin-
gent measures which can be enacted
for the benefit of the people
Senator John Hessin, who is the Re
publican leader in the senate, said:
Il have heard nothing of such a deal
and do not believe any such thing has
been attempted"

PRINTERS FEES REDUCED.
Fatal Error in the Bill Found st the
Last Minute.

When Representative Taylor's bill
came up providing for reduction OF
10 per cent in the fees of the state
printer, in the house yesterday, it was
found that the committee had recon-
mended an amendment providing re-
duction of % per cent
Brown of Pratt moved to substitute
80 per cent for % per cent He also
served notice that if he did not secure
that amendment in committee of the
whole he would present it on the floor
of the house.
Mr. Cubbison favored Mr.. Taylor's
idea, and suggested that the rates were
not what should be reached as that af-
fected the labOring men. He said: I'VE
should, however, find some means by
which this useless volume, and worth
less mass of stuff which is being con-
tinually sent out from various depart
ments should be limited"
Mr.. TruebloOd said: Two years ago
Mr. Crane came before this house as
candidate for state printer and offered
to do the work for rs per cent of legal
rates. If Mr.. Crane can do that others
certainly should be able to do So
Hackney of Sumner: Does not Mr..
Crane own his own plant, which is con-
do the work cheaper than a man like
Mr.. Parks who has been elected to the
position and will be compelled to buy
a new plant?"
Mr.. TruebIood: mo I cannot see that
this makes any difference as a man who
occupies the position is usually able to
dispose of his material and plant
Taylor of Wyandotte: IF We make
this heavy reduction of 25 per cent we
will antagonize the interests of organ
lied labor in a manner which this house
cannot afford to do. A reduction of ten
per cent will not do that. It will permit
the state printer to live and pay living
wages but if we make a reduction of
so per cent it will kill him off"
The committee then decided to make
a reduction of 25 per cent and so rec
commended the bill back for passage
The next bill was well under consider
alton when it was discovered the first
words Of the state printer bill were:
BE it enacted by the state printer
an error which would have killed the
measure A motion to reconsider came
quickly from Chairman OutcaIt of the
committee on printing. This was agreed
to but before the vote was taken and
the bill corrected Mr.. Lobdeu said:
THE bill should be corrected but before
it is done 1 hope this lesson will bear a
lasting impression upon the ma jority on
the other side, arising as il does from
the effort to railroad bills through"
