At s O'Clock Sunday

Canea, March 19.-An italian officer
has started for the camp of the Greek
troops with instructions to notify
Colonel Vassos that the blockade of
the island viii begin at o'clock Sun
day morning, in accordance with the
proclamation issued by the foreign adj
mirals. Preparations are being made
for the arrival of the foreign troops
Barracks are in readiness and in some
cases schoolhouses will be used for the
lodging of the troops. The admirals
have had another interview with the
insurgent leader at Alltroti. They
handed to the Cretans copies of the
proclamation claiming the autonomous
government would be constituted for
the island. but this intelligence was
not received in the manner it was
hoped it would be. The rebel leaders
did not hesitate to express their hos
tility to the plan of the powers to
leave them under the suzerairty of the
sultan. They defiantly declared that
they were done with Turkey, and added
that they would resist to their last
drop of blood any such regime as the
powers proDosed. Their desire was To
have the island annexed to Greece and
they would hold out until this became
an established fact. Among the few
supporters of the powers the attitude
of the insurgent leaders is ascribed to
given to them some time ago
by the Greek Vice-conSul.

K. OKAZAKf OF TOXIC.
A japanese Gentleman Who Believes
America Should Supply That Ma
ton With Many Things.

New York, March 19.-K. OkaZaki OF
Toxic, Japan, who represents the
Toxic iron works, one of the largest in
Japan, has been sojourning in this
country for the past three weeks, and
is now in this city waiting to take the
next steamer to England. In an inter-
view today he said:
Il made heavy purchases of iron in
Pittsburg for the first time in the his
tory of our firm, and l am satisfied
that in the future there will be a big
demand in Japan for American iron
and steel rails, plate, bar iron and
machinery, window glass, etc. have
been very much pleased with what l
have seen in this country. We would
rather buy here than in Europe.
Trade between the United States
and Japan is increasing rapidly, but
think it could easily be extended.
For instance, Japan is tremendous
consumer of glass, and we have no
glass factories at all. Most of our i'm
portations are from Antwerp. | visit
ed the glass factories near PHtsburg,
examined prices, etc, and I think this
country ought to be able to supply
Japan with glass as we'll as Belgium.
There is certainly a good opportunity
for American firms to get large por-
ton of this trade"
He says Japan has fully recovered
from the effects of the late war. He
was not inclined to put much faith in
the report that Japan had adopted the
gold standard, but said he hoped 1T
would do so. He declared he was much
grieved by the news of the death of
the Crown Prince of Japan, who, he
said, was very popular.

SIBERIAN DODGES.
Refers the Question of the Heads of
the Bureau of American Repub-
lies to the President.

Washington. March 19.-Secretary Sher-
man has referred to the president for his
action the question of making change
in the head of the bureau of American
republics. When the resignation of Mr..
Clinton. Kurdish, the present occupant.
was requested and the place was rendered
to Mr. Joseph P. Smith. of Ohio who
was Mr. McKinley's private secretary
when he was governor of Ohio. Secre-
tary Sherman did not remember that
this was an international appointment.
and that one of the leading rules provides
that the bureau is to be considered an
international organization and that all
applicants for position in the bureau
shall be examined by a board composed
of three members of the executive COM
mittee or persons designated by them
and two examiners appointed by the sec
retary of state of the United States.
with some other details these formalities
were not complied within the case of Mr..
Smiths resignation. Several of the
Latin-American ministers said yesterday
that if the bureau was simply an adjunct
of the department of state they did not
see the justice of being required to con-
tribute TO it's support. They hau no OBJ
lection to he urged to Mr. Smith, but
simply complained that they had no
voice in his selection. II is understood
that Mr. Smith has been communicated
with and will be asked to accept some
other position equally as good"

come to the conclusion that it was un-
necessary to burden them with this adj
dltiohai 'cpiy. For that reason the desig-
naton or members of the supreme court
had been stricken out and the provision
oruered TO read that jurists of -eDute,
without mentioning any court should be
appointed by and with the advice and
consent of the senate
pointed out as the one that maintained
the authority of the senate as a part of
ene treaiy-making power of the United
States- 1t had been agreed that d clause
be inserted providing that all questions
70 pc submitted to this tribunal should
hrst De submitted TO the senate as u
part OF the treaty-making power for its
approval or disaDproval. Not until the
senate nad passed upon any question
would the president have authority to
submit II to arbitration under this treaty.
Under such proviso, Mr.. Davis said
none OF the Drerogatives of the senate
tected.
The senate was the treaty-making
power and as it had the right TO ratify
fore IT, so i would under this treaty
nave the sole power of saying what
should and should not be submitted to
arbitration under this general treaty.
why the treaty should not be ratified and
ne urged the senate TO take as speedy
action as was possible, the magnitude of
the subject under discussion considered.
Mr. Davis was followed by Mr.. Stewart,
who antagonized the idea of entering
into any kind of a treaty with Great
Britain. a country which he characterized
as the biggest land grabber on the face
of the earth.
Mr.. Turpie, of Indiana, spoke briefly in
favor of the treaty as amended.
The convention will be called UP by
Mr.. Davis again the first of the week.

Are Always At Tt.

Washington. March 19-Without
waiting for the house to take final
action on the tariff bill, the Republi-
can members Of the committee on
finance have begun a formal eXamin-
alton of the measure. They will give
the subject careful attention, and it is
understood that their meetings are TO
be held somewhere down town to keep
away from the crowd that always
hovers around the committee room
when the subject is under considera-
ton.
The Republican members have de-
eided that no hearing viii be granted.
They will, however, give full atten-
ton to printed or typewriter briefs,
which should be filed with the COM
mittee on finance. These briefs should
refer to specific paragraphs relative to
proposed changes in the house bill or
any other change that may be sug-
gested in existing customs laws.

GROSS FRAUDS
GOV. HOLCOMB RECEIVES A SEN
SATIONAL LETTER.
It Is From a Republican Member of
the Re-Canvass Commission
Which Is Now at Work in Lin
coin, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., March 19.-P. 0. He'd
lund, the Republican member of the
recanvasS commission. has written d
letter to Governor Holcomb in which
he makes charges of the grossest frauds
by other members of the commission in
connection with the recount which had
been progressing until stopped by a
court injunction last Tuesday. The
letter was sent to the governor at II
o'clock last night and its contents
made public today. Mr. Hedlund de-
tails the part he took in the recount
chat of teller), and proceeds: 1T is
within nv observation and l speak
from actual knowledge, that thousands
of blank ballots which were voted
neither yes nor mo- for constitutional
amendments have been counted yes
by the said board of canvassers, and
hundreds of ballots that were voted
no by the voters of the state have
been counted yes In some cases a
single ballot has been counted yes as
many as ten or a dozen times. On an
average of every ten votes counted for
the amendment, at least two were not
cast Cor the amendment. but were
fraudulently counted. l unhesitatingly
assert that this fraudulent count of
ballots had been made in all of the Al
counties so far counted. In some of
these counties the vote for the amend
ment has been thus fraudulently in
creased as much as 400 votes.
Il make this report to you at the
present time because l fear the evil
dence of these frauds may be spirited
away or destroyed. If these ballots are
not tampered with and the tally list
can be preserved it will be found upon
an examination of the ballots and the
tally list that my statements and as
sertions are absolutely true"
Mr.. Hedlund has the reputation of
being conservative and his integrity
has never been questioned. He was
deputy state auditor for four years and
the defeated Republican candidate for
auditor. -s.-t.s
Governor Holcomb this evening took
official notice of the letter by relieving
Hedlund from the commission, at the
same time criticising him for not
reaching at once his charges. The other
five members OF the commission join |

Salisbury Was Bitter.

London, March 19.-In the house of
lords today Lord Salisbury made a
bitter criticism upon the speech de-
livered by the Earl of Kimberly, min
lister of foreign affairs in the s;osebery
cabinet, at the meeting of the National
Liberal federation at Norwich, We'd
nesday evening, in which he asserted
that according to Lord Salisbury, the
policy of France is also that of Great
Britain and is based upon the MAIN
tenance of the integrity of the Otto
man empire"
This assertion, Lord Salisbury said,
was wholly untrue. If, he continued,
the policy of the Liberal party was to
abandon the Ottoman empire, it
had been lately adopted. Lord Kim
berly would probably again become
foreign minister of Great Britain. and
in that event, he asked, would his
lordship then disregard the past policy
of maintaining the integrity of the
Ottoman empire.
Lord Kimberly replied that he had
intended what he had said to mean
that the Liberal party would depart
entirely from it's past policy regarding
Turkey and maintain that the Otto
man empire was a standing menace
to the peace of Europe.

They May Hold Aloof.

London, March 19.-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs
that it is mi-officially reported in
that city that Austria and Germany
will not take part in any operations
that may be decided upon as necessary
in the interior of Crete.
A dispatch to the same paper from
Athens says that the entire population
assembled tonight to witness the de-
parture of the First regiment of in
fantry for Larissa. The crowd cheered
necessarily as the troops passed along.
Several bands of music escorted the
soldiers. and many persons in the
crowds fired revolvers as noisy fare
wells to the departing troops
Crown Prince Constantine has not
yet gone to the front. He will remain
in Athens for the present.
The Times thinks it highly probable
that if the Greek ports are blockaded
there will Immediately be war with
Turkey, but if they are not blockaded,
war may be averted.

Of the imports for 1896 shows that
the revenue would, of such an as
sumption, be about $113, 900, 900 more
than under the act of 1894.
What the actual revenue would
prove to be in the year following
the enactment of the proposed
measure into law is, of course, de-
pendent upon contingencies which
cannot be forecasted with any ap-
proach TO certainty and will there
fore be subject to varying esti-
mates. 1t is probably that any de-
lay beyond the 1st of May would
result in q loss of from one TO two
millions of revenue for each week
of delay. If the proposed tariff re-
vision could be enacted into law by
the 9Th of April, undoubtedly the
revenue for the first year under its
operation would be from 20 to 25
millions larger than il would be If
its passage would be delayed until
the LIST of July.
If it should become a law by May
1t is more than probable that it
would yield an increase of revenue
of nearly 20,000,000 from sugar, $780,
100000 from wool, S14000,000 from
manufactures of wool assuming
that the imports OF each would be
OHt-0dI what Iney were IN 1891,
S1,500,000 from lumber, $4,000, 900
from tobacco assuming that the
revolution in Cuba will keep up),
$4,000 from silk manufactures,
S2,000,000 from metals. $4,000, 900 from
glassware and earthenware, S4,-
100000 from chemicals Including
argols and opium transferred from
the free list), $5,000,000 from jute
and fax Gncluding burlaps and
bags transferred from the free list),
$3,000,000 from agricultural prod
ucts and from fruits, 81, 800, 900 from
liquors, 1900, 900 from silks, S5,000,-
900 from sundries Gncluding articles
transferred from the free list, ST.
100000 from cotton laces and other
fine cotton goods and yarns, or a
total of $75,0O0,00O.
1t is easy to see how a delay in
the enactment of the bill to July /,
for example, would easily take from
the treasury s15,0O0,O00 of revenue
and turn it into the pockets of
spectators importing wool, wooden
goods, sugar and other articles on
which it is proposed to increase the
revenue, and at the same time de-
prive woolgrowers and producers
and manufacturers of the benefit
that would arise from the prompt
passage of the bill proposed.

Dock Board Removals.

Brooklyn n. Y. March 19.-Late this af-
ternoon word was received at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard from Secretary Long at
Washington to the effect that two mem
bers of the dock board of inquiry were
places. The new men are Civil Engineer
Peary, the Arctic eplorer. and Naval Con-
structor Hooper. The men removed are
Naval Constructor Hanscom and Civil
Engineer Wolcott. Captain tReamy is the
only one retained of the old board What
caused the change of the men could not
be learned. Yesterday and this morning
the members held a session and took
points on the new dry dock that was built
al a cost of $3.50. 600.
The monitor Puritan is the first boat to
go into the new dock. The news was re-
ce;-ed at the yard in surprise for the
reason that the board had finished their
work and Captain Reamy had begun
making out his reports to send on to
Washington
