two or three treaties that could be con-

of these. 1t has been reported to the

Davis. who is chairman of the commit
tee. does not feel called upon to proceed
until the senate secures its full member

RUSSIA REMAINS FIRM.

St. Petersburg, March 9.-The govern
ment expresses its determination to ad-
here unswervingly to its decision to push
the coercion of Greece to the farthest
limit, if necessary, and it earnestly hopes
that the other powers will display equal
firmness. Besides the blockade of the
island of Crete and the Piraeus, it is un-
derstood that the foreign admirals have
decided to fire upon any Greek torpedo
boat approaching the warships.

VASSOS' REPLY TO ADMIRALS.

Canea, Island of Crete, March 6.-The
Greek consul has returned here with the
reply of Col. Vassos, the commander of
the Greek army of occupation, to the ad-
mirais. The colonel agrees to permit
the departure of the Mussulman captives
at Selma and elsewhere on the condition
that they lay down their arms and agree
to not fight any further against the
Greeks during the present hostilities. 1t
is thought, in view of this reply, that
the intended landing of foreign marines
at Selma will be abandoned.
Hostilities. which were suspended for
several days, have been renewed at Can
dino, where it is authoritatively asserted
that the insurgents number 5000. The
Turks threw up earthwOrks to enable
them to withstand the fire of the insur-
gents, but the latter rapidly destroyed
the Notifications despite the brave de-
fense made by the Mussulmans. Many
were killed on both sides.
The military governor of Crete. in an
interview today. declared that Europe
would send sufficient forces to compel
Col. Nassos to evacuate in case Greece re-
jected the ultimatum of the powers. This
statement. however, is discredited. The
irOnclad Hydra having entered Suda bay.
the admirals aboard the war vessels of
the powers signalled her to leave. Com
modOre Schatuoris at first did not COM
ply with the demand, but was finally
obliged to yield when threatened with
coercion. The Hydra went to the Bay
of Ahnyrida. whence, however, CommO-
dore Sachatouris has as yet been unable
to communicate with Col. VassOs, owing
to the unfavorable weather. Two Greek
gunbOats have returned here with men
to enter the gendarmerie, which disband
ed some time ago, many of its members
joining the Turkish gendarmerie under
Maj. Boro.
1t is reported that the Greek minister
at Constantinople has made overtures to
the porte offering to recall Col. Nassos
and troops from the Island of Crete on
condition that Turkish forces are with
drawn first. The porte replied that the
powers will agree to no conditions unless
the Greeks are withdrawn.
Rumors are current that Prince George
will be made Prince of Crete in the event
of that island being conveyed into

an obsolete idea to suppose that bride
must remain at home day after day TO

On the contrary, the up-t1-date lrIoe

chance of finding her at home or not, and
returns the calls she has received N due

The Servant Question.

In order to overcome the difficulties of
the servant problem, the German govern
ment has inaugurated a new system, claim
ing it to be beneficial to both mistress and
maid.
The government provides book (Which
the servant can have upon application,
and the mistress is required to place in it

purpose.

but it has far wider intention. When the
girl becomes sick, aged or unable to work
every stamp is redeemable By the govern
ment, thus providing d bank account for
her time Of need.
but the benefit derivedfromreliable service
is sufficient compensation.
Several years continuance seems to
prove the plan successful.
Russian cities have tried a prize sys-
tenn, giving certain sum of money 20
servants with two years record of
faithful service in one place, confirmed

the mood and prejudice of the mistress

plan is uncertain and doubtful.
There is one advantage, however. The
fact that the servant has remained in
one place for two years is one advantage

difficulty ut the time Of parting, the refer

TIE PLATFORM.

The Democratic party in con-
vention assembled renews its al
legiance to the National Demo
cratic Platform adopted at Chica-
go, in 1896.
We believe the free coinage of
silver and gold at the ratio of Is
to 1, to be The paramount Issue be-
fore the people of this nation, and
until settled rightly it should be
the supreme question in every
election whether national or local.
We commend the administration
OF Gov. Adams as wise, honest and
patriotic.
We commend the action of the
two Democatic county commission
crs of Baca county, for their at
tempt at economy by accepting 50
per day for work done by them,
instead Of taking $500 per day as
the law allows.
We commend their wisdom in
this step, recognizing their good
business ability in attempting to
run the county within the income
as at present received, without
raising the levy and making our
taxes burdensome.
1t is with sincere regret that we
note the unwillingness and refusal
Of our present officers to cooperate
with the two Democratic members
of the board of county commission
ers, and perform their duties and
accept remuneration in the same
magnanlmous spirit as the two
members of the board have done.
The Democratic party has al
ways been a conservative and e.
economical one, and we demand a
rigid system adopted for control
Ing the running expenses of Baca
county, and we pledge our candi-
dates, if elected, to perform their
official duties IN full accord with
this platform.
We believe, that, in the impov-
erished condition OF the county,
and the few people remaining to
bear the burden of taxation, that
the offices can be credltably filled
and the worked performed at a rate
not exceeding $500 per day.
We believe further, that the
office of county clerk should be ad-
mlnlstered at a cost to the county,
OF, not exceeding $40O per annum;
that OF treasurer, not exceeding
$3.50; that of superintendent of
schools, not exceeding 1850; that
