ATHENS, Feb. Is, 1Ss7.-The represen-
tatives of the Powers accredited to
Greece held two meetings yesterday,
their conferences taking place at the
French Legation. At the second meeting,
which was held in the evening, it was
agreed that the Powers, through their
Ministers at Athens should protest
against Greek Intervention in Crete, and
as result of this decision the French
Minister, M. Boures, waited upon M
pelyannis, the Greek Premier, and inti-
mated to him that the Powers had de-
termtned to take decisive steps, even re-
sorting to arms to prevent Greece from
taking further hostile action in Crete.
M. Bouree, as the spokesman of the rep
resentatives of the Powers, advised the
immediate recall of the Greek fiotilla
from Crete, and, at the same time, prom
ised that the Powers would take into
consideration the claims of Greece in
Crete and the question of a union of
Crete with Greece.
Premier Delyannis asked to be allowed
time in which to reply to the representa-
tions made by NJ. Bouree, which request
was granted.

DETERMINING THE DAMAGES.
Sheriff Heller and a Jury Consider
ing the KelIy.R0YIe Case

On the Fourth of last July, Reynolds &
Boyle's straw board mill, on Montgomery
street, was destroyed by fire. While the
ire was burning Building Inspector Ed
ward w. Kelly went up there. He had
been drinking, and when he saw that the
building would prove a total loss he be-
gan to bemoan the loss of S21OO which
the firm owed him as balance for the
construction of the building. Happening
to meet Mr.. Boyle, Kelly accused him
OF having set fire to the building. He
even called Policeman Cody and directed
him to arrest Boyle, saying that he
would go down to the police station and
make charge against him.
Captain Farrier was in the station at
the time and, seeing Kelly's condition.
refused to accept the charge of arson
which Kelly wanted to make. The Can
tain said that Boyle was a responsible
man, and If Kelly wanted to make a
complaint against him he could go before
Police Justice Potts in the morning. Kel-
ly did not appear before Judge Potts.
Boyle began a suit before Kelly for
defamation of character and false i'm
prisonment. He laid his damages at slO.-
000. Kelly made no defence and a YER
dict for the amount claimed was given
for. the plaintiff. Today Sheriff Heller
and a Sheriff's jury are engaged in a
consideration of the case in order to de-
termine the actual damage sustained by

Finance Board and Bankers
Talk Over the Interest
on City Deposits.
CITY DEMANDS TWO PER CENT
Bad Shape of the Money Market
Cause the Banks to Hesitate
Making an Offer.

Finance Commissioners Brautigarn,
simpson and Detwiller this morning met
Messrs. William Hogencamp, Richard
Washburn and Henry Lembeck, the rep
resentatives of the Second Hudson
County and Third National Banks re-
spectively, to discuss the question of
paying the city interest on all money de-
posted. The three banks mentioned are
and have been the city's repositories to
the exclusion of other local banking in
sittutions,
The Finance Board, at its last meeting,
served notice on the presidents of the
several repositories that unless interest
at the rate of two per cent. is allowed
the city legislation would be sought .au-
thorizing deposits in State institutions
which will pay interest. 1t was decided
at that time to demand at least two per
cent.
In response to an invitation from the
Board of Finance, Messrs. Hogencamp,
Washburn and Lembeck conferred with
the Board today.
The. Finance Commissioners through
President Brautigam made the demand
for two per cent. The bank representa-
tives did not say they would not make
such allowance nor did they say they
would. They did say, however, that they
would lay the request of the city before
the directors of their respective banks.
The Presidents of the banks are to meet
with the Finance Commissioners again
one week from Wednesday. At that time
they will be in a position to say whether
or not the per cent. demanded will be
allowed. The banks, through their Presi--
dents, may make the city proposition of
some sort.
While the subject was being discussed
today it was announced by the bank
Presidents that the money market at this
time is low and it was said that all
three of the city repositories now have
on hand, exclusive Of the city's funds,
more money than they can find takers
for.
The Finance Commissioners have been
inquiring as to the condition of the
money market and have found it to be
in pretty bad shape. AS a. consequence
it is hardly expected that the per cent.
demanded will be allowed.
Concessions from the banks are expect
ed however, and it Is thought probable
that offers of or perhaps IL per cent.
will be made. Whether such offers will
be accepted or not the Commissioners de-
The question will not be definitely set
tied until the conference one week from
Wednesday,.

The witness was then asked why the
American Sugar Refining Company had
purchased the Baltimore Refinery in 1896.
Witness said that they were not run

refineries were not operated. He admitted
that his company had in contemplation
the purchase of the United Sugar Rein
ing Company of Camden. The only
reason witness would give for this con-
templated purchase was that his company
might be able to utilize 1t. His company,
he said, had not determined how the
u. S. Sugar Company was to be acquired.

men were discharged when the knight,
the Delaware and the Franklin factories
closed down last September. He added
that the Delaware was not closed down
but consolidated with the Spreckels. He
did not believe that 1000 were discharged
nor that men were discharged from the
Franklin Refinery in Philadelphia with
out warning.
