to withdraw the Greek fleet and troops
from Crete, on the ground that the re-
call would be a signal for pillage, incen-
diarism and murder.
The complete text of the answer will
not be known until it is presented to the
ambassadors of the powers tomorrow. In
diplomatic circles it is said that the
Greek answer may lead to negotiations
based upon proposal for cooperation
which has been presented by France
1t is stated that in view of the CON
templated negative reply of Greece to the
powers, King George has sent orders to
Colonel Vassos, commanding the Greek
forces in Crete to hold all places now
occupied by him. The king is still here
and the date of the departure of the
crown prince for the interior has not
been fixed. Every effort is being made
to concentrate the Greek troops on the
Turkish frontier before the threatened
blockade of the Greek coast can be eff
fected.
In official circles the hope is not now
entertained that the powers will accept
the French proposition.
AT l a. m.-Though the exact character
of the Greek reply to the powers is not
yet made known, it is known that in
ply because of fear of pillage, incendiar-
ism 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 res
olution to be annexed to Greece as the
only solution that will finally pacify that
island.
King George and other members of
the royal family attended requiem mass
| in the cathedral today for the officers and
soldiers who have fallen in Crete.
The Plinghenesia publishes a telegram
stating that a band of 12O Macedonians
and Epirites came into collision yester-
day at Krania, a six hours march from
Grevena, with a strong Turkish detach-
ment. The Macedonians attacked the
Turkish position toward evening, and it
is reported have captured it after an all
night fight.

ALLOWED TO TAKE CERTAIN LAND
Decision Giving States Eminent Do

Washington, March THE commissioner of
Indian affairs has addressed lengthy letter
to H. d. Young Of Nelson Stevens county,
who requested permission build a bridge
for travellers across Kettle river about 80
miles above its mouth on the Colville Indian
reservation. In his letter Commissioner
Browning states that certain citizens of Or
vile, In okanogan county. addressed letter
to the Indian bureau February 20, 1896, asking
for authority to build bridge across the
ohanogan river at or near that town. which
was also on the Indian reservation. AT that
time the facts of the laid before
| the secretary of the Interior who, in accord
ance with an opinion of the assistant attorney
general for the interior department, decided
that the state had the right to condemn, under
proper procedure for public purposes, lands
embraced in Indian alotments in the state
and also that the right Of eminent domain
extends to public lands not already appropri-
ated by the United States for It's purposes.
In other words, that the state has the same
right OF eminent domain in lands belonging
| TO the public domain in lands held in fee
simple by its own citizens, and that while
| the authorities agree that paramount sover-
| eighty resides in the United states SO far
as the territory is concerned, yet when a
| territory Is admitted as an Independent state
| IN the Union, the general rights to eminent
| domain are excluded and vested in the state
| government. Under that opinion the dis
| claimer of rights, titles, etc, as to Indian
| lands set forth under section of the act of
February %, 1889, admitting Washington into
| the Union, Is one of the right of public do
main and not the right of eminent domain,

| power vested in the federal government. 1t
| would seem, therefore, concluded Commissioner
Browning, under this opinion and the letter
of the secretary of the interior, that Mr..
Young, who has asked for authority to build
bridge across Kettle river the Colville
reservation. should make application to the
county board of commissioners of the proper
county to have such proceedings instituted and

the problem calmly and patriotically. without
fearing its effect upon an early election. Our
fellow citizens who may disagree with us upon
the character of this legislation, prefer to have
the question settled now, even against their
preconceved views and perhaps settled so
reasonable, as, trust and believe, VIII secure
great and permanent peace-than to have FUR

view of these considerations shall deem 1t my
duty as president to convene congress in eX-
traordinary session Monday, the 18th day of
March. 1897.
Let me again repeat the words of the oath
administered by the chief justice, which in
their respective spheres far as applicable I
would have all my countrymen observe:
Il will faithfully execute the office OF presl-
dent of the United States, and will to the best
of my ability preserve, protect and defend the
constitution of the United States"
This Is the obligation have reyerently taken

my signal purpose my constant prayer-and

In conclusion, I congratulate the country up
on the fraternal spirit of the people and the
manifestation of good will everywhere so ap-
parent. The recent election not only most for
tunately demonstrated the obliteration of sec
tional geographical lines, but to some ex-
tent also the prejudces which for years have
distracted councils and marred our true
greatness as nation. The triumph of the
people, whose verdic1 is carried into effect to-
day, is not the triumph of section, nor
wholly of one party, but all sections and all the
people. The north and south no longer divide
on the old lines, but upon principles and poll

country can find for true felcitation.
Let us rejoice in and cultivate this spirit; it is
ennobling and will be a blessing to be-
loved country. 1t will be my constant aim to
