London. May 3.--The chiof points of in-
terest in the situation tonight are: First,
that the decision Of the ministry who have
returned from the Greek frontier seems TO
he in favor of continuance " the war,
and, second. that fighting continued almost
necessarily at Velestino from last Tuesday
until Sunday with tho result that General
Smolenita has been prevented from actual
ly assuming his new duties as chief of
staff As further result the Greeks at
velestino have managed to retain their
positions. but they are too much fatigued
to follow up their success.
Altogether fourteen officers have been
recalled from Crete to be sent to Thes-
salv and this also is proof of the intention
OF the new cabinet to continue the war
The movement is actuated by necessity.
All OF the best officers are being sent to
the front nor is there any intention yet
auparent to eyacuate Crete.
The Turkish army is advancing IN three
columns on Pharsala, while an additional
column is operating in the direction Of
Nolo. As the Noio column could easily take
Velestino in the rear. the Greek position
is very prccarious. This probably explains
the retention OF General Smolenia there
as II was natural to expect him to 90 tc
Pharsa1a to assume the supreme command
Everything points to an inevitable retreat
BY the Greeks on Domokos.
The diplomatic situation continues OBJ
scurc. with Il constant interchange of dis
patches between European cabinets and al
ncessant interviewing OF ministers.

HOW JAPAN DID IT.
Silence over the "DishOnestD Feature
of the Gold Standard.

Silence over the dishonest" Feature
Of the Gold Standard.
There is profound silence among the
goldbugs all the way from London to
Colorado Springs, over the dishonest
feature Of Japan's gold standard.
Japan has not said, as we have, thai
debtors shall pay two dollars, in pur-
chasing power, for each dollar they
borrowed, On the contrary, all debts
are payable in silver as before. But if a
debtor prefers to pay in gold he is al
lowed to do so at the rate Of so cents on
the dollar.
Japan's gold standard, so far as it
affects debtors, which is everywhere
the main point, is precisely the same as
if congress should establish the gold
standard and declare that all existing
debts are payable either in silver dol
lars coined free or in gold at 50 cents on
the dollar.
Japan was on the silver basis. In 60
ing to the gold standard she did not rob
her debtors, as we did.
Technically this country went to the
gold standard in 1873. Really it was
done in 1898 by the closing Of the India
minis and the repeal Of the Sherman
silver purchase act. By the closing Of
the India mints June %. 1898, every
debt in this country created before that
day was practically doubled and the
doubling was robbeTy.-Denver Times.

customers was that the whole financial
system Of the country was impesiled by
the purchase and coinage of silver. The
food which was making good blood, as
even BENJAMIN Harrison declared, was
suddenly found to be poisonous. In
deed, all food must be stepped and the
patient must be bled indefinitely. Absi-
ISL the silver coinage entirely and give
no substitute. Until this was done the
banks would no longer perform their
usual function Of facilitating business.
Thus tortured, each desperate mer-
chant and manufactures appealed to
his representative IN congress to do the
bidding Of the gold pirates, because un-
I'll that was done he could have no re-
lief And the scheme worked. But
the panic became eOHaagration, which
came back upon its authors. II was
more than they had bargained for. The
country has never recovered from IL.
We have recited these well-known
facts because it seemed necessary for
thepurpose ofreminding thep eopiewhat
these enemies of mankind are capable Of
doing. The application we make Of this
piece Of history is that the same power
is now as firmly bent on destroying the
greenbacks. coin notes and silver Ger
tifcates as they were four years ago
on closing the minis to silver. They
viii produce, if necessary, the same
distress, with the same object Of tor
turing the people into surrendering to
their outrageous monetary schemes.
They thrive upon the distress of others.
If business paralysis does not worry
the country into submission they win
invoke their former instrument Of tor
ture-a sharp panic.
FOrewaIned is fOreaTmed. The peO-
pie understand them now. Resistance
viii break their power, while submits
sion viii only augment it, and increase
It's insoleBce and aggressiveness. What
is needed is a rising tide of public in
dignatioE against their schemes and
the methods they employ to carry them
out. Every thousand that is added to
the democratic majority in this state
this year will Be an additional milestone
around the neck OF this money monster,
which cannot eoexist with republican

and 80 residences and store buildings
were entirely destroyed By a IRE
which started at 4:3O o'clock yesterday
afternoon and which before it could be
subdsed had burned over an entire
block between James and First streets
and Reynolds and Lyon avenues in this
city. Several fremen were badly
burned by live wires and flying brands.
but none Of the injuries viii prove BE-

extensive that the city has suffered in
years, though the property loss, which

been extinguished little was left Of the
block but e. smoldering mass Of ashes,
charred furniture and merchandise
