London April 4.-Advices just received
say that all Saturday night Canea re-
sounded with lamentations of MoSlem
women. Nineteen bodies We're buried
during the day. Today Sunday 40 who
were among the wounded have succumb-
ed. The Christian dead had their noses
and ears clipped by the Mussulmans.
Colonel Grenfell has had an interview
with the insurgent chiefs in the vicinity
of Gambia. He was extremely we'll sat-
isfied and left amid cheers for Europe
and autonomy. Fighting continues in
the outskirts of Gambia. Yesterday the
Greeks attempted to land a force on the
south of the island, but were prevented.
Describing this battle 1t is said that
Moslems advanced to within 800 yards of
the Christians a Akrotiri and began to
parley with the leaders. Then suddenly
along both the Mosem and Christian
lines an almost simultaneous discharge
occurred. The range was very short
and the rattle Of the musketry developed
into a regular roar.
At first the Insurgents had the advan-
tage, driving the Moslem irregulars down
the hill, but the latter rallied, and after
a fierce charge drove the Christians back
ward from their vantage points, where
they planted a Turkish flag, which Is
still floating. The fighting was stopped
by a heavy rainfall.

washington, April 3.-There was brief
session of the house today, followed by an
adjournment to next Wednesday, in pur-
suance OF the policy which has been de-
telmined upon. The only business trans
acted was the adoption of the senate reso-
luton providing for chartering a vessel

After the usual routine business James
Hamilton Lewis, a democratic member

escorted to the bar of the house and took
the oath of office.
Ihe Joint resolution from the senate
providing for chartering u vessel to carry

called up by Mr.. Grout
Mr.. McMilin said that he did not want

clared, the sad spectacle is presented of

from the floor and the galleries.)

a0ES TO RELIEVE THE MARION.
Barture of the Cruiser phfIaJcl-
pii:s Has No Other Significance.

washington, April 2.-Secretary Ionf
is authority for the statement that or
ders for the flagship Philadelphia to pro
eeed to Honolulu have no significance
1t Is said at the state department that
the movement has not been requested
by it, as would have been the case had
threatened trouble between the Japan
ese and Hawaiian government entered
INTO the calculations of the navy depart
ment. The Philadelphia Is to relieve the
Marion, which relieved the Alert The
reason for the change Is said to be the
belief of the secretary of the navy that
ffom the Importance of Honolulu com
mercially and otherwise the United
states should have a ship of higher
class than the Marion stationed there.
lhe Philadelphia, while modern pow
erful cruiser, is sadly out of condition,
and it was the intention Of the depart
mcnt just as soon as the repairs to the
Baltimore were completed, to use her
to replace the Philadelphia as flagship
OF the Pacific station, and put the latter
craft out of commission and thoroughly
renovate her. 1t is conjectured that the
Marion may be sent to Samoa to show
the United States flag in that quarter
OF the globe for the first time in four
years.

ALL AGREED ON FREIGHT RATES.
Meeting OF Western Railroad Repre-
sentntiyes Harmonious.

Chicago, April 1.-The agreement regard
Ing freight matters was practically adopt
ed yesterday by the western roads, was
formally ratified by the executive Off
GERS, and is now in effect. The freight
matters took up little time today, and the
meeting then turned it's attention to pas
senger affairs. The general passenger
agents recommendation that the Western
Passenger association be turned into a
bureau Of statistics and information was
adopted by the executive officers. The
clergy bureau and the mileage bureau of
the passenger association will be retained
and the clerical force of the organization
will be retained. The only change in the
working of the association Is that 1t will
have hereafter nothing to do with rates
or their maintenance.
The unanimity with which the roads are
keeping up the rates Is at first rather sug-
gcstive of an agreement, but 1t is utterly
impossible to prove that any agreement
exists among the roads. Each road has
for Itself issued orders to contracting
agents that under no circumstances are
rates to be cut. They have been told that
even if a competitor should cut rates, they
are not to meet the reduction.

Threat Hanging Over Greece.

81. petersburg, April 4.-lne JOurna
De St. Petersburg (semi-officiaD says:
"The provoking attitude that Greece
maintains with such deplorable obstin-
acy, compels the powers to blockade the
gulf of Athens. Greece, by keeping Col
onel Vassos in Crete, is exposing the Gre
tans to all the disadvantages of block
ade there. She illustrates the restoration
of peace; she prevents the powers from
learning the real wishes of the inna BIZ
tants of Crete, which can only be ascer-
tanned by the powers after the removal
of the influence of an interested pres
sure.
''If Greece wishes war at any price she
can count on the support of no one,
whatever the result may be of a con-
fiict so Wantonly provoked. The powers
will never consent to the agressor deriv-
ing the slightest advantage from victory
in such a struggle. After the powers
have exhausted all possible means at
their disposal to spare Greece the suf-
ferings she has drawn upon herself they
are not bound to disturb themselves fur
ther.
'"rheir complete arrangement is the
surest guarantee of the final victory of
order, right and fairness, ard the best
pledge for the maintenance OF the gen
eral peace of Europe even In the event
of partial disturbances created by Crete,

Plain Talk to the Committee on the
TransyaaI Raid.

London, April 2. - The parliamentary
committee which is investigating the
Transvaal raid had another session today
in the room in Westminster hall. Sir John
Willoughby the military leader OF the
raid, was released from Holloway Jail
Wednesday last, where he has been serv-
ing a sentence of 10 months imprisonment
for violating the foreign enlistment act
He was examined today. Considerable
excitement was caused by the remark Of
Henry Labouchere, the well-known radi-
cal and editor of Truth, who, on the re-
fusal of witness lin which he was upheld
by the chairman) to divulge the nature Of
a confidential communication made to the
war Office said:
'.If we can not have this information.
this inquiry Is a farce
This remark drew forth cries of "Or
DER but Labouchere continued: 1T Is
hushing everybody up. I say publicly it
is a waste of time continuing the COM
mlttee."
The committee held n private session
after the public session to consider
whether an article recently published In
Truth commenting on the proceedings or
the committee should be brought before
the house of commons as breach of
privilege. Labouchere retorted with
menacing countermotion to the effect
that Chamberain's cross examination OF
w. p. Shreiner, ex-attorney of Cape Col
ony, who has been before the committee
as {; witness, was calculated to bring
about a conflict between the Dutch and
English races at the Cape. The matter
was finally settled on Labouchere's prom
Use not to make further comments on the
subject in Truth.
The committee discussed the proposal of
Lubouchere to compel Sir John Willough
by to produce the letter from the British
war office which it was alleged he had
said he and other officers Interpreted to
be the sanction of the imperial authori-
ties civil and military, to the undertake
ing of the raid. It is understood that this
letter will be produced at the next session
of the committee.

son Raises a Stir.

Chicago, April 2.-Ch1ef Consul Patee OF
the Illinois division Of the League of
American Wheelmen has demanded of
President Potter that George X. Barrett
who got out political circular intended
to pledge the American Wheelmens vote
to Carter Harrison for mayor Of Chi
cago, be suspended.
In answer to evening Post telegram
Mr.. Potter says: "a member of the
league may be disciplined or expelled only
when guilty of conduct prejudicial to the
interests of the organization. The wheel
men Of Illinois are seeking to elect pub
lie officers who will not be corrupted by
railroad influences, and as 1 understand
the situation, they have gone into poll
tics for the purpose. The League of
American Wheelmen will support the cy-
clists Of Illinois, and will look to them
to set an example in their efforts for
wheelmen's rights and better roads which
other states may profitably emulate"

BUTLER TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Australian Murderer Cut Into His
Face With His Nail.

San Francisco, April 2.-Frank Butler,
the alleged Australian murderer made an
unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide
today In the presence Of two of the
guards. They paid no especial attention
to their charge until a peculiar noise
made by Buffers arm, which rested on d
table, caused an investigation. Butler
lay, half covered by his blankets, his face
smcared with blood. With his long thumb
nail he had made ragged incision half
an inch long near the temporal artery.
The wound went through the flesh almost
to the bone and would have been serious
had Butler been more successful in To-
eating the artery. He Is all right now
and his guards will not again relax their
vigilance until he sails for Australia at
noon tomorrow.

Importance that the fate of the bill In

ed that the committee has decided to

soon as 1t may be possible after the In

HACKED TEPMOTHER AND SISTER,
Young Missouri Farmer Uaea Il Corn
Knife on Aged Relatives.

Humansvllle, Mo-, April 4.-What is al
most certain to result in double tragedy
occurred last night near Waubleau, Hick-
ofy county, Missouri. Sam Smith, Jr., a
young farmer, attacked his aged step
mother, Mrs. Smith, with corn knife
His sister, Mrs. Cox, ran to her assist
ance, and Smith hacked The women upon
their heads, shoulders and arms until
they were unconscious. He then went to
the home of a neighbor and reported that
he had killed them. Both women are
close to 60 years of age, and neither can
live. Smith was arrested and taken to
hermitage He is believed to be insane
The immediate cause of the trouble was
the refusal of Mrs. Smith to rent her
farm to her stepson.

WEYLER ENLARGlNG HIS TRAPS.
Believes Gomez Can Escape Him
ONLY hY an Omen R0at.

Havana, April 2.-Dlspatches from
Cienfugos, province of Santa Clara, an
nounce that Captain General Weyler has
ordered the arrest and Imprisonment of
the chief of police Senior Merina, several
police inspectors and So other persons
1t appears that the captain general, while
visiting the marine hospital, which con-
tained 20 patients, made inquiries which
elected the admission that the rations
were of a poorer quality than those serv-
ed in the military hospital, where there
are 800 patients.
The military line across the province of
Puerto Principe from Jeruco in the south
to Moron in the north has been entirely
closed. The Spanish troops occupying
the island of Turiguana, off the Moron
coast, have constructed a fort in the only
pass which 1t is possible to get through,
and the Spanish military authorities be-
lieve that the line of forts stretching
across the part of the island has so re-
strained the movements of the insurgents
that nothing is left to the latter but to
escape by sea in boat.

WILL MAINTAIN PASSENGER RATES
General Agents of Western Roads
PrOpOse to Ennct strict LAWS

Chicago, April 2.-The general passen-
ger agents Of the western roads met to-
day to formulate an agreement under
which the Western Passenger association
will be conducted hereafter The agree
ment VIII not be In effect until after the
legal departments Of the roads have been
given an opportunity to pass upon 1t. The
chances are that the comHact will be in
force next week. The terrors of the inter
state commerce commission are to be held
over the heads of possible offenders and
when a road Is caught the others will
make 1t interesting before the commission
for the delinquent. 1t Is thought that in
this way rates can be better maintained
than by the enforcement of penalty
clause III the agreement.

M'klNLEY TO MODIFY THE ORDER,
Forest Reserve Question Taken Up
in the Cabinet.

Washington, April 2.-The cabinet to-
day discussed the forest reserve ques-
tion fully. 1t was decided to summon
the national forestry commission to
Washington to talk over their work with
the president. The sentiment of the
members was unanimous that President
Cleveland's proclamation was too com
prehensiVe. The president announced
his purpose to act on conservative lines,
and not act without information. AS at
present determined the proclamation
will not be revoked, but provisions ad-
justed by presidential orders as to spe-
ciflc tracts, surveys being pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible.
