operation, which has been presented by


France.
5 p. NIT is stated that in view Of
the contemplated negative reply Of
Greece to the powers, King George has
sent orders to Colonel Vassos, COM
manding the Greek forces in Crete to
hold all the places now occupied by
him. The King is stil here and the
date of departure of the Crown Prince
for the frontier has not been fixed.
Every effort is being made to concen-
trate the Greek troops on the Turkish
frontier before the threatened blockade
of the Greek coast can be effected. In
official circles the hope is not now en-
tertained that the powers will accept
the French proposition.
l a. m.-Though the exact character
of the Greek reply to the powers is not
yet made known, it is known that in
addition to the ground of refusal to
comply because of the fear of pillage,
incendiarism and murder in Crete, the
note points out that the Cretans, who
alone should be regarded as entitled to
determine their fate. have declared
their unalterable resolution to be an
neXed to Greece as the only solution
that will finally pacify the island.
King George and other members of
the royal family attended a requiem
mass in the Cathedral to-day for the
officers and soldiers who have fallen in
Crete.
The 'Plinghenesia' publishes a tele-
gram that a band of 120 Macedonians
and Epirites came into collision yester-
day at Krania, six hours march from
GreVena, with a strong Turkish de-
tachment. The Macedonians attacked
the Turkish position toward evening,
and it is reported to have captured it
after an all-night fight.

King George will secure more than 500
men from the Southern cities. The
Greeks have heartily indorsed the
Kings course, and say that he can get
the support of every native Greek in
America if needed.

Fitz did most of his work in the
morning, but as a usual thing he does
less on Sunday than on week days. His
work this morning varied in no way
from that of the other work he has
done during the last ten days, save that
he did less of it. He shouldered a shot

The afternoon Fitz spent quietly in
his quarters playing cards and check

CCrbett trainer, said to-day that he
confidently expected mis- man to win

Defalcation.

NEWPORT Or. -, March Pay
master John Corwine, who is charged
with the embeZzlement of funds of the
Navy Department, and who left here
week ago, after cashing a $4,000
check at the First National Bank of
Newport, arrived in this city from
Chicago, in charge of police officers.
Corwine was Immediately taken before
Judge Baker and pleaded not guilty to
the charge of embezzlement. He was
held in $500 bail for examination on
Friday. Bail was furnished and Cor
wine is now at home with his wife
AT the close of the arraignment pro-
ceedings to-day Lieutenant Clark of
the naval station, acting in behalf of
Commodore MCGOWAN, attempted to
take Corwine to the naval station to
answer charges of embezzlement from
the United States Government. Cor
wines counsel objected to his clients
going on the ground that he might be
held until Saturday, thereby forfeit
ing his bail in the State Court. Commo-
dore MCGOWAN was consulted and
agreed not to press the claim without
the State case had been settled. 1t
appears likely that such settlement will
actually take place. Corwine has al
ready, through his wife, returned to the
First National Bank Si,924 of the
5000 which he is charged with taking
unlawfully and it is said the bank may
withdraw its charge, a proceeding
which is permitted by the laws of the
State.
Judge Baker, who will conduct the
criminal examination, is counsel for
the bank While on his way back from
Chicago Corwine related to Detective
Richards the circumstances which led
up to his last act. He said that three
years ago, while on board the Nipsic,
his clerk absconded with nearly $40. 600
Corwine's fatherin-law, who was on
his bond. made good the amount, as
the clerk was a relative of the family
Since then Corwine has been endeav-
oring to pay back the amount, and in
doing so, took some of the Government
funds When he heard that the Pay
Inspector had arrived he knew that the
shortage would be found out, and
rather than face the ordeal he left the
station, and cashing the check, started
for Cripple Creek.

THE SENATE'S WEEK.
1t May Consider Treaties and Presi-
Dental Nominations.

WASHINGTON, March THE prob
abilities are that most of the session Of
the Senate will be given during the
present week to an effort to get its
committee in working shape and the
Senate will adjourn for two or three
days at time without attempting any
business of consequence.
No legislation can be attempted with
the House not in session. but there are
two or three treaties that could be
considered. The arbitration treaty is
one of these. 1t has been reported to
the Senate, but it is understood that
Dacis who is Chairman of the commit
tee, does not feel free to proceed with
the treaty until the committee contains
its full membership. Any nominations
sent by the President will, of course,
be considered.

a POSSIBLE SOLUTION.
Cretans Would Accept Autonomy
Under the Greek Prince.

LONDON. March There is no
doubt, says the Athens correspondent
of the Times" that if Prince George
of Greece were placed at the head of
an autonomous Cretan Government
with the title of Prince, the whole
Greek nation and the Cretans would
willingly accept the proposal of the
Powers and the Greek troops would be
withdrawn.
Such a scheme therefore, says the
correspondent ought not to be re-
jected without the gravest risk The
Cretans are suspicious of the promises
of Europeans and firmly believe that
there is no other course open than
union with Greece or Turkish rule; but.
doubtless, if choice was offered to
them, their preference would be of
autonomy under the Greek Prince"

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nOunced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

s,cyele PATENT. Tor W omen.

That craze of the day, the bicycle,
has not been neglected by the women
inventors. Patents have been granted
to them for almost all parts of wheels.
Several fair riders have exerted all their
ingenuity in trying to devise COM
Portable saddles. Others have tried
their hand in making locks. They have
also made experiments In pneumatic
tires. The Luggage carrier for yeloci-
pedes was their idea. But course, they
have devoted more attention to bicycle
garments than to anything else in con-
nection with the wheel. Trousers that
look like skirts appear to be their most
particular ambition.

QUEER MOUNDS.

Wisconsin.

Two In the shape OF Animals Found in
Wisconsin.
An interesting discovery of two
mounds in the form of animals has been
made in Wisconsin, about two miles
from Winona, MINI. They are on the
side of bluff. One is thought to have
been intended for a deer. Both are
about ga feet above the surrounding
ground, and their outlines are very
plain. The dimensions Of the deer
mound are: Tail, 90 feet; body, "a feet
long, 10 feet wide; neck, ID feet
long; antlers, 10 feet long, and about
8 feet spread; head, 10 feet from
end of nose to antlers. feet 2
inches from neck to foreieg, IS feet
long; hind leg, 10 feet inches hong
and 2 feet 10 inches wide where the
body is Joined. The neck Of the animal
extends exactly east and west, the head
being at the east end. The antlers and
nose extend in line directly north and
south, the nose pointing south ...r.
Some so feet south Of the first mound
is another, which takes the form OF a
rat The tail is very long, extending
considerably over 100 feet. The body Is
about 25 feet long.
No plow has ever marred either OF
these mounds, and so distinct are they
that it seems curious they have never
been noticed before to be animal
mounds of the ancient mound builders.
Both mounds are but short distance
from a plateau upon which are a num-
Der of round mounds, which have never
been previously investigated.

ner in which with France the Turk
ish situation is kept in balance so that
no movement upon the Ottoman EN-
pire can be made, no matter what the
provocation. Russia charges Great
Britain with being back of Greece in
the effort of that kingdom to drive
the Turk out of Crete, and yet there
are really no Turks in that country.
| All are Greek by race and only divided
upon religious lines. Russia is mis-
tresS of the situation, and as long as
waiting policy only eXasperates the
other powers while really strengthen
ing her position on the Black sea, so
long will she stand as the guardian
and defense of the territory of the
Ottoman empire. When it is safe to
do so Russia will take possession of
ConstantinOple and so obtain control
of the BospOrus, the gateway to the
Mediterranean that she has so long
coveted. In the mean time she will
make the disturbance in Crete an eX-
cuSe for sending a heavy fleet in con-
junction with France to blockade the
shores of that island and prevent any
Grecan demonstrations in favor of the
attempt to GrecianiZe the government.
Russia has been quietly sending her
fleet southwark and largely increas-
ing her land forces along the southern
borders of her empire, evidently with
the intention of having them at hand
where they will do most good should
arise. While thus one of the paws of
the great Northern bear is laid on
Eastern Europe and the Archipelago,
the other is caresSingly put on China,
and Il quiet grasp of the COrean PENN
sula virtually made, thus threatening
the hold of England on China and in
on India. Russia is moved
by consistent policy which, whether
operating in Europe or Asia, is aimed
at the supremacy of Great Britain in
both continents. That England
will always submit to see her policy
and her schemes of eXtentiOn thwart-
ed by Russia is not probable, and yet
with Germany maintaining an atti-
tude of suspicious neutrality, France
actively allied with Russia, China

way of Russia and Turkey ready to
join the standard of the Gar at any
it is certain that England
is shut out from any aggression. That
