the powers so much diplomatic compro-
mise that her position has been materially
strengthened. She has adhered to the
only two points she has claimed-the right
to have troops in Crete for the purpose OF
holding the fanatical Mussulmans in
check and the right of the Cretans to
choose what form of government they will
have. The former position she adheres to
rigidly, for, since the business of her
troops in Crete is only to preserve order, 1t
is naturally immaterial to Greece whether
they are under the control of the powers
or not, so long as order is preserved. New
ertheless there is an apparent concession
made in the offer to submit to such con-
troll, which gives the powers a favorable
opening to recede from the letter OF their
demand.
Regarding the proposition that the Gre
tans be given the privilege to choose their
own form of government, Greese of course
can so no further than urge the sugges-
ton. 1t seems to be an adrolt answer,
however, to the statement of the pow
ers that Crete really prefers autonomy,
for if the powers are sincere IN that De-
lief they can have no objection to submit
ting the proposition to vote.
The general tone of the reply Of Greece
shows that the nation has no intention of
irritating the powers to the extent of de-
claring war on Turkey. and that the prep
arations for conflict have been made
doubtless for purposes Of defense in case
an attempt should be made to humiliate
her beyond endurance.
Monday the foreign admirals notified
the Greek vice-consul at Canea that ne
must leave Crete. They also wired to
their respective Governments for the dis
patch of 600 men to maintain order in
the large towns 1t is reported that the
siege of Candamo has been raised and
that the Mussulmans have CONS to Pali-
kosa, where they are safe.
Although the danger is not entirely past,
it seems fair to assume that this latest
European war scare will now gradually
fade away into harmless diplomacy.
The London Globe understands, upon
high authority, that great tension exists
between Great Britain and Belgium on
the subject of the demands of Great
Britain for indemnity as result Of the

year, while promoting a strike. The for

Costa Veloudakes is the grand old man
of Crete and the father of the present
revolution He is regarded by the Cret-
ans with boundless confidence, and in his
capacity as president of the revolutionary
assembly has been good guide and a
great comforter to the patriots. Velou-
dakes is 95 years old, but his faculties
are as clear and his head as strong as a

Wisconsin is again to the 'front.' this
time with a shipment of beef to Rosen-
baum Bros, Chicago, acknowledged by
them to be the best ever received from
Wisconsin. This shipment of thirty steers
was made by NJ. j. Gosa, for fourteen
years Palmyra buyer, and was his 15Sth
carload shipment to Chicago for the cur
rent year, and pronounced the best he has
seen. They were purchased of William
Taylor, La Grange farmer, one of the
best stock breeders in the State, who
bought them in Chicago as feeders, fed
them two rations per day each, of twelve
pounds shelled corn and two pounds Of
oil meal, twenty-eight pounds in all, for
40 days, in which time they gained $40
pounds each, averaging at the time of
sale 1,443 pounds. Although high-priced,
Mr.. Taylor considers oil meal the cheap
est known beef feed.
In the course of a few weeks Outaga-

pected to arrive at Appleton shortly.
Thousands of people have visited the

Permit me to direct your special at

institution should under no circum-
stances be crippled. Its reputation as
one OF the great American universities
should be sustained. 1t has been en-
dowed by the people and has been main
tanned by them with a spirit of pride
and often at a great sacrifice. It's teach
ers should be equal to any i'm the world
and they should be men Of independent
thought, ready and willing to meet all
great questions of modern civilization
and advancement with an intelligent
and enlightened public spirit They
should he qualified to aid in the prepa-
ration of wise measures OF government
