The receipt of the news from Paris at
Athens, has caused pessimistic feeling
there. but the government is determined
to maintain its opposition and await a
pacific blockade. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the enforcement of the
blockade will be a signal for a conflict
on the frontier.
The papers speak in a more moderate
tone of the situation. In the Boule, the
President of the Chamber read many
messages from abroad expressing sym

THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY. MARCH IS.

The Fifth Congress assembled
at Washington on Monday in accordance
with the call of President Mckinley for
an extra session. The House was or
ganized by the election of Thomas b.
Reed, of Maine, as speaker. Mr.. Well
man in his dispatch to the Times Herald
described the scene in the House as the
representatives were called to order in
his usual interesting and picturesque
amer. He says:
tits in order. and the Fifty Fifth Con-
gress is thing of life and law. 1t has a
speaker. 1t is ready for BUSINESS. and
loses no time in getting at it. But first
Mr.. Reed must take the oath. Repre-
sentative Harmer, of Pennsylvania, the
Oldest man in continuous service except
the speaker himself, walks out in the
open, Mr.. Reed raises his right hand,
and the oath is repeated to him. Mr..
Reed simply mods his head in response.
Then he speaks the little piece, delivered
in his characteristic nasal tones, with
his hands folded behind his broad back.
and a red boutonniere shining in his
coat, where it was placed by his ever
watchful daughter Kitty. This is what
Mr.. Reed said:
Gentlemen of the House of Repre-.
sentatives:-It has been the custom for
hundred years for speakers-elect to so
fully express their gratitude and their
sense of honor conferred that the Ian
guage by which thanks are conveyed has
been long ago exhausted. Will you par
don me if | confess that on all the occa-
sions when | have stood here / have
been more oppressed by the sense of re-
sponsibility than cheered by the senti-
ment of thankfuuess?
yet appreciate-no man more-the
high honor of your vote and the conf
depce which dictated it. But high as the
honor is, it will surely fade unless your
favor is permanent. l cannot, having
had experience, expect to please all of
you always, but l do hope, with your
assistance and your forbearance. to adj
minister justice to each member and to
both sides of the chamber under the
rules established by the House of Rep
resent atives without fear, favor or the
hope of reward"

A SPECIAL cable from Athens eays:

A SPECIAL cable from Athens Gays: l
learn that secret negotiations are pro-
ceeding between King George of Greece
and the Russian government. This in
fsrmation comes from a high and abso-
lutely trustworthy authority. Russia,
undoubtedly, is playing two-faced
game with the Turkish government, and
with the Powers as we'll.
There is an explicit understanding
that when the Greek army crosses the
frontier Russia shall find pretext to
seize Constantinople.
The understanding, so far as King
George is concerned. is that in the gen.
eral conflict in the Balkans. which is
sure to follow fighting on the frontier
and the disruption of the Turkish En-.
pire, which would follow a seizure oil
Constantinople by the Russians. Greece
is to be encouraged to seize Macedonia
with the Cars promise in advance that
che shall be permitted to retain that
province.

THE United States monitor Puritan,
which met with an accident to her en-

arrived at the Brooklyn navy-yard in tow
of the navy yard tugs Nina and Narkeeta
Monday afternoon.
DURING storm March one of the
Puritan's engines was disabled off
Southport, N. O., and three days later
another engine was rendered useless.
On the latter date she signaled the life
saving station for assistance. and last
Thursday the cruiser Columbia took her
in tow.
The trip was very slow, the Columbia
making about four knots an hour, using
her midship propeller all the time. AL
though heavy seas washed over the mont

splendidly, and she could have fought
her guns at any time during this trying
experience.
