MORGAN THE CHIEF OBSTACLE

To Ratification OF Charged
with Being Double-Faced.
London. March 27.-An interview Is
published here with William r. Cremer.
formerly member Of parliament for the
Haggerston division Of Shoreditch
(Radical). who has for years past been
secretary Of the International Arbitra-
tion league, and who is editor Of the
society's organ, The Arbitrator.
Cremer IL quoted as saying that he
considers It tnadvisable to ratify the
amended arbitration treaty. He adds
that the British government will all
most certainly refuse to accept the
treaty In its emasculated form and as
serts there Is good reason to hope that
in a few months 1t will be carried as
originally proposed. Cremer says he
will be greatly surprised II the Ameri-
cans do not make their voices heard
in such o way as to induce the senate
Of alter its position before next ses-
sion.
He adds: There is no doubt Senator
Morgan Is the chief obstacle. When in
Washington I had q long talk with
President Cleveland relative to arbitra-
tion, and Mr.. Cleveland suggested
sounding the senate. I saw Senator
Morgan, who expressed warm approval
of the principle.
Tell the president he said, that II
he sends a treaty to us I will get 1t
through the committee in forty-eight
hours I reported this to Mr.. Cleve-
land. and Judge Of my surprise when

A Timely suggsstios.'

A citizen came to TIE ARGUS office
today with . most timely suggestion
in view Of the recent uusightly con-
dition Of the water pumped from

bluff are eight acres Of splendidly
adapted land already in shape for
reservoir and which can be pur'
chased for 81, 200. the amount Of the
present incum brance upon 1t. The
proposition 10 evidently worth look
ing into. Among the many pro-
jects in which Rock Island proposes
to engage its attention the oomisg
year. none are moro worthy than the
reservoir.

Of the AAti-Trust Decision.


Of the AAti-Trust Decision.
New York, March 27.-Bradstreet's
says: While the week is not without
favorable features, unfavorable in
fiuences have been more numerous.
Leading money markets show no i'm
provement. Mercantile collections con-
tinue slow as heretofore, and the vol
ume of funds offered is in excess of
demands for discounts. The tendency
OF investments to improve has tempor-
arily disappeared under the influence Of
the supreme court "anti-trust" de-
cision, which apparently threatens ar
rangements for the maintenance of
railway rates, as well as railway trades
union activity. so far as 1t may affect
interstate commerce.
The tendency Of prices Is downward,
quotations being lower for wheat, In
dian corn, oats, coffee, cotton. and for
pig iron and steel billets on the outlook
for lower priced ore. Staples for which
prices are higher include wool. raw su-
gar. wheat -four, petroleum, linseed oil
and turpentine. Stormy weather. high
water and floods in the Ohio Mississip-
pi and Missouri river valleys and in the
high country drained by tributary
streams, have interfered with interior
trade. The gradual increase in the
number Of Industrial strikes is the out
come Of a movement to secure higher
wages. and in instances moderate ad-
vances have been obtained.

convictions of the government and
against the sympathy and The con-
victions Of the English people. How
could autonomy, he asked, be worked
out without the cooperation Of the
Cretans? Who was to be the governor
of the island? Not a Turk, 5 surely.
That would be too great q scandal. II
the governor was to be a Greek, then
why not have annexation at once, with
out making two bites Of the cherry.
Balfour, replying said that the powers
had taken the scheme Of autonomy in
hand, and would not be bound by the
voice Of any but themselves. He said
Moerly ought not to have made such
q speech, and that parliament ought
not to continue the discussion. The
Cretan question was only q fragment
Of the policy Of the great powers in
eastern Europe.
I'VE have already had" he continued.
three inconclusive discussions. Don't
let US have q fourth; let US have the
matter out in the proper way. If the
opposition considers that the policy Of
the government is opposed to the wishes
Of the country the proper course Is to
move q vote Of censure. Until that is
done we shall certainly oppose all en-
deavors to hamper the action of the
government. Let the opposition screw
its courage up to that point or abandon
the practice of nightly criticising small
portions of our policy"
Labouchere moved a reduction Of the
