BIZ Gable to the United Press. !

LONDON, March 49, 1S97-Answering
a question by the Earl of Kimberley, late
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the House
of Lords today, Lord Salisbury said that
instructions had been sent to the Admir-
ais commanding the foreign warsfips in
Cretan waters to put the blockade of the
ports of the Island of Crete into opera
tion at once.
Lord Kimberley asked that the Govern
ment make a further and more explicit
statement in regard to the Cretan situa-
ton, but Lord Salisbury referred him to
the admirable speeches delivered by
Foreign Minister Hanotaux and Premier
Meline in the French Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday, in the sentiments ex-
pressed in which he Lord Salisbury said
he heartily concurred.
Lord Kimberley-"'But should prefer
to have a statement of Great Bri.ain's
policy by Great Britains Minister'S
Lord Salisbury-"The policy of the pow
ers was explained in the speeches of
Hanotaux and Melipe. If have not used
their brilliant language it is my misfor-
tune and not my fault
In the lobbies of the House the remarks
of Lord Salisbury are regarded as indi-
cative of an aim on the part of the
Premier to secure a closer entente with
France and also an indicating that Eng
land and France are closer united with
one another In an understanding in regard
to Crete than they are with the other
powers.
In the House of Commons, this even
ing, Sir A. j. Balfour First Lord of the
Treasury, made the following announce
ment on behalf of the Government
I'VE have today addressed a commune
cation to the Powers in regard to Greece,
but it is impossible as it would be inn
proper and against public interest either
to state the terms of the communication
or to encourage debate on the subject
A despatch from Malta says that 400
British troops were ordered to Crete
from that station today.
A despatch to the Times. from
Athens says that since the ac-
ton of the powers in ordering
the beginning of the coercive measures
against Greece became known in Greece
the popular determination that the Greek
army of occupation shall never be with
drawn Crete has become stronger than
ever The people are unanimous in this
matter and the King and the govern
ment have no choice but to swim with
the tide of popular feeling. Colonel
Vassos, commanding the Greek troops in
Crete, IS fortifying his position upon the

WANTED A STRING TO IT.
An English mans objection to For
swearing Allegiancs to Queen Victoria

An Englishman applied to Clerk Charles
Lyon in the County Clerks Office yester-
day for. his first papers. He desired to
declare his intention of becoming a citizen
of the United States. As it proved, how
ever, he desired to become citizen with
some reservation. Mr.. Lyon handed the
applicant the customary blank form to
sign.
Let me read it first said the English
man.
Certainly" replied Mr.. Lyon.
The applicant read the paper until he
came to the clause where he is required
to forswear allegiance to the Queen Of
Great Britain and Ireland forever de
objected to the word forever and patron :
izingly said that If that word was elimir-
ated he would sign
There is only one FORM, said Mr..
Lyon, ''and if you don't approve of it, of
course you don't have to sign it; but you
cannot become an American citizen un-
less you do"
The applicant went away crfticizing the
absurdity of a law which will not permit
a man to become as much of a citizen as
he thinks proper.

youth the pattern Of every statesman, the
pride of MS ALL We are to-day celebrating
the birth of Washington, aud in doing so we
celebrate the real birthday of the nation.
Washington's success depended as much
upon his character as on his genius. The
American nation is the gift Of no one man,
but of people 10 whom no one man was es-
seutial, and whose combined purpose and
effort gave us liberality and nationality.
The power Of Washiugton's example is Of
incalculabls benefit TO the youth Of the
nation; he was an aristocrst by birth and
association, and was surrounded by induce
ments 20 seuk below the republican standard,
but the mseIRsh aud uuamLiUous traits Of
his character directed him all through his
eveutfu career.
In speaking Of him whom we today do
honor, General o o. Howard says: Around

Of completeness which marks and crowns
the highest reaches of amy achievement and
honor Whenever ia boyhood my parents OF
