the rules, began to run today for the
rest of the session.
G. W. Stone, Republican of PennsylVa-
MIA, moved to suspend the rules ana
pass the Senate bill authorizing the
President to appoint commissioners to
represent the United States at any lnter-
national monetary or bimetsllic confer
enoe called to secure by a8reeihenG
fixity of value between silver anu gold
By unanimous consent the perlo' Ior
argument was extended to one hour on
each side. ~
G. W. Stone claimed that since 1892
there had been q radical change IN the
views of the English, German and
French legislators and statesmen IN 1ay-
or of the accomplishments OF the pur-
pose in view The delegates of the
United States would now go into tine
conference under different conditions.
MIR. McCreary, Democrat of Kentucky,
m EN- ber of the Brussels conference, ex-
pressed the belief that the conditions
were much more favorable for securing
an agreement than five ears ago.
Mr.. johnson, Republican OF Indiana,
beIieyed bimetallisni to De thing of the
past, and he had no desire to see 1t re-
vived.
Mr. Dingley gave his reasons for sup
porting the bill. 1t was his first speech
for many weeks. and as he rose he was
greeted with applause. He said: 81 can
only briefly suggest two reasons why l
shall support the pending bill:
First-It Is in response to the clear.
distinct, unquestioned pledge of the
Republican party in the last campaign. !"
The Repu plioan party at st. Louis de-
clarsd against the free coinage of silver
by independents action of this country.
But the party said at the same time
that they would promote as far rs 10 lay
in their power an international agree
ment for the free coinage of silver.
"Secondly-I am in favor of the pas
sage ofsthis bill because l believe its de-
feat under ths circumstances under
which it is presented, and in the view
of the pledge we made at the st. Louis
convention, would result in o tremendous
injury to the sound money cause. CAP

The debate was closed by Mr.. Gros-

with the expenditure necessary to lay the
rails means, pulling into circulation

iron is in excess of the production. Wire

are buying in expectation OF the duty
being placed on raw wool, The recent
improvement in cotton goods id main

AT most cities there has bean no change
in the volume or temper of the trade. The
demand has been quiet, and while expec-

J thus far has been somewhat disappoint-

BLOOD OF CHRISTIANS.
Turks Cry For 1t In the Streets Of
Canea.
BELIEVE POWERS ARE BACK OF
THEM IN COMBAT.

Out-Rumor That One of Powers has
Withdrawn from Agreement-Has
Russia Sent Ultimatum.
Canea, February 26.-Most of the for
eign warships that were lying in the har-
bor here have gone to Suda Bay, VIII ere
there is better anchorage. It Is likely
that their presence here will again be
required, as the situation has become
more critical than ever before.
The interposition of the powers led the
Moslem to believe that Europe Is back of
them in their combat with the Chris
tians. AS result there are this afternoon
5000 Moslem lighting mon. all heavily
armed, parading the street and demand
ing the blood of Christians. The com
bined forces landed by the several powers
number only 800. 1t is believed that
without the aid of the warships they
would prove of no avail in preservin
order.
The popular passion has been added
to by Ismail Pasha, the acting governor.
who has circulated false stories to the
effect that Greek troops are mutilatlng
Moslem children. 1t is likely the pow
ers will have to check his ardor in be-
half of the Turks. Accompanied by an
armed body of Turks, he left Gambia
today and occupied strategic positions
in the vicinity of the city, from which
he attacked the Christians, causing seri-
Gus losses to them. The commanders of
the warships remaining in the harbor,
vainly protested to the governor against
breaking the armistice.

Portland Ice Rink-Ihe steamer BOYS
Winners-Big Crowd and Much Intsr-
Portland had taste of ice polo last
night for that is virtually what the
Canadian national winters game OF
hockey is. That is the game that was
played at the Portland ice rink last eve
ming before large and interested crowd
Of spectators. The game has nearly all
the exciting features of polo, Is much
quieter and infinitely more picturesque
and graceful. The opposing players were
two teams made up from the clerks OF
the Grand Trunk railway and the several
English steamship lines. The latter won
by score of three to two, after most
exciting game. The crowd seemed to
enjoy the game immensely and got al
most as excited as the spectators at a
league polo game in City hall. They
shouted themselves hoarse, hut the Gin
was not as dangerous to the drums of the
ears as the sound had the open area of
Back Bay to rattle itself around in, and
lacked the echoing powers of City hall
walls. The rooters were evidently large
ly Grand Trunk sympathizers, but they
were doomed to chagrin, for the brawny
steamer lads made the railroaders bite
the dust Cor rather the ice) OF defeat.
The rink was gay with hunting and
brilliant with electric lights, and the
scene was one of most attractive anima-
tion.
Lack of space forbids particulariziDg of
the good points of the individual players,
most of whom did excellent service.
Stewart of the steamship team, however,
was easily the fsvorite with the crowd,
onssaccount of his agility and ready play
ing. The game was entirely free from
any roughness or s1ugging. There were
tumbles galore though and the Canadians
found Portland ice as hard and sharp as
the frozen water of the Canadas. and
many of the clerks will be unable to
write legible bills of lading today on ao-
count OF It,
The proceeds of the game go to the
Seamen's Recreation rooms, most
worthy object.
The following was the line up and
