THE CRETAN TROUBLES.

1t is reported at Canea that the Tur-
kish fort at Spinalonga is being attack
cd by the insurgents. The Moslems
are said to be making a gallant resis
lance. 1t is also reported that several
encounters between Moslems and Chris
ians have taken place in Archanes.
1t is asserted at London on excellent
authority that the powers are eXchang-
ing views in regard to presenting a
fresh note to Greece giving notice Of
their intention TO resort to coercive
measures to enforce their demands if
Greece does not comply at once, and
also to maintain blockade Of Greek
ports. France, it is understood, is the
only power showing any reluctance to
take part in blockade, and if she re-
fuses to participate the blockade will
be undertaken without her.
1t is semi-oflicially announced in
Paris that the powers, while united in
principle, have not been able to reach
solution of the Cretan question. 1t is
stated that modus vivendi is proba-
BILE. Rumors are renewed in Athens
of the probable abdication of King
George OF Greece in favor of his eldest
son, the Crown Prince Constantine,
who married sister of Emperor vii.
liam of Germany.
1t is said in semi-otlical circles in
Constantinople that the government Of
Turkey is negotiating with the United
States for the purchase of two or more
iron. clads.

Police Magistrate Herman G. Kud-
Itch of New York, in a letter to the

against the Police Department. He de-
cares that the corruption of the force

in possession of proof of wrongdoing
which would Justify him in going to
the grand jury. he is convinced from
his experience on the bench with the
police that his assertion is true. He at
tributes the decentralization Of the rank
aud file to the wrangling OF the Police
Commissioners, which he holds has de-
stroyed their authority and relaxed dis

NEGROES, like the Chinese, are eX-
cellent imitators; They started "
savings bank in Baltimore and put
members of their own race in charge OF
it, but when the deposits amounted to
about seventeen thousand dollars,
tho cashier, following the eX-
ample of some white mon who
held similar positions, put every
cent in his own pocket and left for parts
unknown, and, with n change in his
clothing, stands good chance of never
being recognized and arrested. In re-
spect of the latter condition, he has a
decided advantage over the white bank

PRINCE GEORGE AS AN ATHLETE
Prince George of Greece, second son Of
the King of the Hellenes, is said to be
in many respects remarkable young
man. The commandment of the Greek
torpedo tlotilla, whose movements oil
the coast of Crete are now being
watched with universal interest, is not
yet thirty years of age. He stands
nearly six feet five inches, and is broad
in proportion to his height. Although
he weighs some nineteen stone, and is
of massive build, his activity is that of
a trained athlete, and many stories are
told of his muscular achievements. His
fondness for wrestling induced him
some years ago, when visiting Russia,
to have friendly bout with the late
Car, who was then in the prime of q
splendid manhood. The Emperor found
in him powerful and resolute oppo
nent, and ultimately WAS forced to yield
to Prince Georges superior strength.
His royal highness is devoted to the
navy. in which he is at present taking n
prominent place, and in private life is
man of quiet, retiring and studious
disposition

MINUS TWO SATCHELS.

Sneak Thief Calls at Miss Geoghegan's
Boarding House Yesterday Morning.
John Wilson is on a still hunt for the
man who entered his apartment yesterday
morning during his absence and carried
off two travelling bags, which contained
clothing and several valuables, including a
gold pen.
The sneak thief evidently entered the
house just before the noon hour, and the
house Is so constructed that he was able
to go to Wilson's room without disturb
ing the other inmates. The only descrip-
tion of the man obtainable is that he was
seen to leave the house by a shoemaker,
who keeps a shop I'm the same building
and describes him as Of medium build and
wearing a sandy moustache.
The house where the robbery was COM
mitted Is No. ITO North Main street, and
the proprietress is Miss Joanna Geoghe-
gan, who conducts boarding house.
Miss Geoghegan had her suspicious
aroused in the afternoon by finding a
bundle of Wilson's underclothing In a
closet In another part of the house, and
upon visiting his room found it in great
disorder.
Had not Wilson had similar experience
q few years ago, the thief might have
made a larger haul, but Wilson now keeps
his valuables In safe place. The matter
was reported to the police last evening.
