AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT.
The Reply OF greece to the Powers
w i'll he in a COnciliatOry Tone and
VIII Offer Troops to Restore
Order.

London, March S.-The Stock exchange
opened distinctly buoyant, on the gen
eral opinion that the Cretan question
will be peacefully settled. It is reiter-
ated here that complete agreement ex-
lists between the powers as to effective
measures to be Immediately taken against
Greece, in the event of her declining to
comply with the demands of the powers
in the withdrawal of Greek troops from
Crete, and the recall of the Greek feet
from Cretan waters. The Princess of
Wales feels great anxiety regarding the
position of her brother, King George.
1t is learned upon good authority that
the Greek reply to the identical notes of
the powers will be in conciliatory tone,
fully recognizing the high aims of the
powers. 1t will offer to withdraw the
Greek fleet from Oretan waters. While
pointing out that it is impossible to
withdraw Greek troops from Creete, it
will offer to place the troops under con-
troll of the powers to restore order.
Finally the reply will suggest that Cret-
ans be allowed to choose their own gov
ernment.
Later--The reply of Greece to the
identical no;es of the powers, delivered
at Athens on Tuesday, insisting upon
a withdrawal OF Greek troops from Crete,
and of the Greek feet from Cretan
waters, was received here at noon. 1t
conforms to the forecast cabled exclus-
lively to the Associated Press.
cabinet council was Immediately
held, after which the Marquis of Sails
bury went to Windsor to consult the
queen. There was great animation in the
foreign Office. Nearly every ambassador
called during the day.
The reply of Greece is regarded in Off
cial circles here as Of the most favorable
nature. 1t is believed that the crisis will
soon be ended as the Greek note at least
furnishes basis on which compromise
satisfactory to all, can be speedily
reached.

COAL OIL INSPECTION.
This Product should BE Subjected to
the Same Test as is Required in
Other Sections of the init.
ed states.
To the Editor of the New Mexican:

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
CerriIlos, March 6.--I have noticed a
great deal of complaint about the price
and quality of coal oil furnished by the
Standard Oil compony to the people of
this territory l also see that we have
what they call coal oil inspector. Now
what are his duties? Is it not to con
denim all spurious oil or that which is
dangerous and unsafe for nse? Have ye
not a standard for coal oil test in this
territory If not We ought to have
one. All coal oil ought be required to
stand q flash test of no less than IFS de-
grees, it ought to be the duty of the in
spector to condemn all oil that is not up
to that test, that is the test required by
most of the states. Then make it obli-
gatory on the inspector to see that the
law is complied with.

was born at Fort Selden, N. M, Feb
ruary 16, 1867. His father was the cele
brated John Martin known as the
"chief of the tornado del Muerto" who
served with credit during the war as an
officer of the New Mexico volunteers
Lieutenant John Martins name was a
household word in New Mexico from 1861
to 1873, but the bloodthirsty Apaches
dreaded the name of the gallant Indian
fighter. Young Martin received his edu-
cation in private schools, at home, and
at st. Michael's college in this city, there
finishing his education.
He entered active life, quite young.
He was clerk in the U. S. land Office at

What's the matter with Colonel j..

right.
The "militia warrants" are on deck
again. Like bad penny, you cannot
lose them.
Pity the poor blind, who see nothing
but so year per cent bonds for couple
of million dollars of "militla warrants"
The time has come, the walrus said, to
talk of other things. Meaning thereby

warrants.
The New MEXICAN is under obligations
to Chief Clerk Holt of the council and
Chief Clerk Reid of the house. These
two gentlemen fill their respective
positions with fidelity, unyarying courte-
sy and ability.
These poor, down trodden, hard work
ing laboring men, the "militia warrant"
owners, are supplicating Legislative help
upon Bonded knee and in piteous ac
cents, but nevertheless with great per
sistency and much shrewdness. Poor
devils, they must be awfully hard up.

by Temporary Chairman Martin and his
manner of conducting business in the

ALGER BOUGHT TIE COW.

Washington Correspondence OF the st. Louis
Globc-Dcmocrat
There are too many milli0naires
among Mr.. McKinley's cabinet selec-
tions to suit some people. And yet
from the head of the long table down
to the foot Of it, so far as the seats
have been filed, every prospective
secretary was Il boy who began with
no capital but brain and muscle.
Gage clcrkcd for 800 a year and saved
money, He drove a lumber wagon and
added to his assets, Alger was a lad
without a cent, and with the only one
coat on his back when he went to a
doctor in town and begged TO be allow
ed to do the chores and attend school.
The doctor had no need OF a boy, but
Ayers earncstncss won his interest
and he took him and gave him the
opportunity for an education. Many
years after when AIger had more hun
dreds Of thousands than the Superanu-
atcd physician had dollars, the mil
liOnaire went to his benefaCtor and
told him he wanted to pay that debt.
"You don't owe me anything" said
the doctor.
81 owe you my education" argued
the rich man.
"Bosh,' returned the doctor, "you
owe that to Yourself"
II must have cost you trouble and
expense and | want to make it good"
Alger argued.
"Well,' replied the old man grimly,
III there was any trouble | have for
gotten it. The only expense | can re
call was the loss Of a fine COW. When
you came to live with me, Alger, | had
the best COW in these parts. You
completely spoiled her with your awk.
wardneSs, |. wasn't three weeks be-
fore you had her SO sklttish nobody
could 90 near her. l had to sell her
for beef"
There" said Alger, 81 certainly
owe you for that cow, and there is
about forty years interest due on the
debt. I'm going to pay It,"
The old doctor finally yielded. That
animal brought a higher price than
any COW which has been sold in Michi-
gan since the time OF Lewis Cass.

A PHENOMENAL GROWTH or TREES ON
COURTHOUSE TOWER.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
On the courthouse tower in Green's
burg, Ind, there is a grove of trees
growing from the apex Of the tower,
high above all other vegetation and
without apparent cause for existence.
This is the only thing Of the kind, 50
far as known, in the world, except in
England, where there is a single yew
tree growing from IA parish church
tower, which has to be constantly
watched and nourishcd to prevent its
expiring. The existence Of the tree
on the Greenburg tower is very puZ-
cling, owing TO the fact that there is
none of their species within several
miles, and their placed OF habitatiOn is
entirely devoid Of soil. The building
was erected about thirty-iye years
ago. 1t stands in the center Of the
public square, on a gradual elevation
reaching about fifteen miles around
A grove Of maple trees surrounds the
building, making one Of the most
beautiful parks to be found in the
section. Nature has, ever since the
first trees in this lofty grove, l61 feet
above the ground, first made its APP
pearancc, afforded ample nOuriShment
70 the roots of the trees. Creeping
through the narrow interSticcs, be-
tween the heavy layers Of hard rock,
the sprouts flourish. Even during
the droughts Of recent years, when
all vegetation in the ncighborhoOd
was suffering and dying, these trees
continued to thrive, Notwithstanding
the fact that their abode, devoid of
moisture and 81 high in the air, was
always hotter in the heated season
than that for other vegetation, the
large stones being occasionally so hot
that the birds could not alight upon
them. The seeds Of these trees are
like those of the willow and poplar.
being small, with Il long, silky down.
1t is supposed that the seeds were car
ried by birds from some distant place
and dropped between the rocks, where
they grew in the limited amount Of
soil and dust gathered there by the
winds. The first three appeared on
the uppcrmoSt part of the tower about
the year 1865, and soon. manifested a
speedy growth. About a year after,
N a different part Of the tower, a
second one was observed to be grow
ing, being followed by another. The
roots wedged between the stone, the
growth continued until the largest at
tanned a height Of twenty-three feet,
and as they moved the stones consider
ably, the trees were condemned as a
serious menace to the structure, and
the two largest were removed.
