Canea. Feb. 2O.-The Mussulmans
Retimo became greatly excited when
they learned of the massacre of their
co-religionists at Sitia, and they today
fully armed. made a sortie from the
town and attacked the insurgents who
were gathered in force in the vicinity.
The fighting was still proceeding this
evening, without apparent advantage
to either side. The Mussulmans, ac-
tuated by the spirit of revenge, are

masters of the islands except of the

The fight was between the Catholic
clergy candidate Lauon and the liberal
candidate Bertrand. AS was expected,
the church candidate was elected. his
majority being 1872. The liberals. or
anti-separate party. put up a strong
fight, but the influence exerted by the
church was too great TO overcome,
Archbishop Langevin personally taking
part in the campaign and exhorting
his flock from the pulpit to vote for
Lauon. Roman Catholics are greatly
elated over the victory as it endorses
their stand for separate schools and
prolongs the Manitoba fight

which have been agitating the colleg-
late world for the past month. were
harmoniously and finally adjusted at
meeting of the representatives of
Yale, Harvard, Cornell University of
Pennsylvania and Columbia. held in

all the races would be held on the
Hudson at Poughkeepsie The Har-
ward. Cornell and Yale varsity race
was fixed for June %.
AS this is Harvard class day, the
crimson, if she so desires, can have the
race fixed day earlier.
The freshman race was fixed for
June. OF course Cornelrs agreement
with Columbia and Pennsylvania
called for a race between the three and
accordingly the date for their varsity
encounter will be July 2 and for the
freshman race June so. This will give
the crimson and white little time to
recover from the effects of their other
struggles.

SOUNDER THAN EVER.
United Associated Presses Able t
Paddle Its Own Canoe.

United ASSOc1dLcQ ICSoCS 11OAO ~
Paddle Its Own Canoe.
New York, Feb 2O.-The committee
of the United Associated Presses, ap-
pointed to confer with a similar COM
mittee of the Associated Press of Illi-
nois. today gave notice to the latter
that it had been instructed TO terminate
negotiations
Notwithstanding that committees OF
the two organizations met in the most
conciliatory and amicable spirit, they
were unable to agree upon a union
Had a union been effected, both parties
seemed entirely agreeable to the appli-
cation of any surplus to a reduction
of assessments and the payment OF
whatever debts the two organizations
might have against them
1t was impossible for the representa-
tives of the United Press to secure a
union which would fully protect either
their allied organizations or their men,
bers and clients as individuals. This
was the chief reason why the negotia-
tions came to an end. The United
Press committee desires to inform its
members and clients that with the
cordial financial, loyal cooperation of
all the New York members and its
allied organizations all over the coun-
try. arrangements have been made by
which the United Press will continue
on a sound paying basis. This guaran-
tees a permanent and thoroughly effec-
tive service. The United Associated
Presses have total receipts of >more
than 81 900, 600 per annum. With this
volume of business, it is idle to assume
that a strong. efficient or permanent
service cannot be maintained. This
will be done and every member and
client of the United Associated Presses
can feel assured that he will have
permanent and satisfactory service.
The Sun resumes its former relations
to the United States and renews its al
iegiance and hearty support of the
organization. The Herald, Tribune,
Times and Journal also continue their
support as heretofore, as we'll as the
members generally of the United Press
proper and it's allied organization.

GAN AWFUL FACT"
How a Reverend Describes the Fam
inc in India.


inc in India.
Boston. Feb. 20.-The American board
of missions has received a letter from
Rev. ]. S. Hume of Bombay, dated
January 16. in which he says, among
other things: The famine in India is
an awful fact. Last Sunday l visited
a famine camp where men, women and
children have been gathered to keep
them from wandering about and dying
on the streets and IL the fields l am
sorry to say that the policy adopted at
this camp is to feed those who come
to it only enough to keep them alive
Were they fed more generously they
would recover their strength more rap
idly and would soon be able to work
for their support. While these poor
creatures are suffering it does seem as
if no one should rest one single hour
unless he is doing what he can TO re
lieve all this terrible distress. One of
the best ways for us to help is for us
to take the children, whom we can
get hold of, into our schools. Even
small sums are of value at such times.
The plague still spreads and increases
The health report for the past week es-
Inmates that the city has lost nearly
or fully one-haIf of its census popu-
lation and that there has been daily
average of 10 deaths from plague 1t
is now difficult to get servants and
many shops and mills are closed
