Ciackamas County's Accounts to be Given
a Careful OverhaulinS.
OREGON CITY, March 6.-The county
court today agreed to employ Scott
Bozorth and w. I. Staley, of Salem, to
expert the affairs of the offices of sher-
if and treasurer back to July ], 1893.
They are to work under the direction
of the court. and may be discharged at
the end OF 80 days, if the court so de-
sires, regardless of whether the work
is completed or not. They are to re.
ceive S. day for the time occupied.
Necessity for having the accounts OF
the two offices overhauled is shown by
the confusion existing in the funds of
the various school districts of the
county. Some districts have received
considerably less than the amount due
them. and the delinquent tax rolls do
not account for the deficiency. 1t is
also alleged that some districts have
received money they were not entitled
to. The treasurer has on hand about
5000 of school money that is not assign
able to any particular district. The
error that has resulted in this
confusion cannot be located without a
careful examination of the books, and
the examination authorized is to go
back to the time when the school ois-
tricts ceased collecting their own
funds, aud turned the whole matter
over to the county. The work is ex-
pected to begin March Is.

WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE.

Powers.

Greece is Fully Resolved to Defy the
Powers.
ATHENS, March ga statement
made by King George in an interview
today is probably forecast of the re-
ply Greece will make to the identical
note of the powers, insisting upon the
withdrawal of the Greek fleet and
troops from Crete within six days from
noon of Monday last. His majesty
said:
"The Greek nation is unable to bear
any longer the strain and excitement
caused by the constant Cretan revolu-
tions and our finances will not permit
US to support the refugees who now
number about II ZOO. Nothing will pros
per ia Greece until the question is
definitely settled.
Autonomy of Crete is out of the
question, because the Cretans reject it
and have lost faith IN the promises of
the powers. They prefer to die in
their own defense rather than to be
slaughtered like Armenians.
'sThe racall of the Greek troops from
Crete would mean signal for new
massacres On large scale, owing to
the fierce fanaticism of the Mussul-
mans. whe see they have the support
of the six great powers, since the latter
covered the Turkish attack on the
Christians and shelled the victorious
Cretans fighting for freedom and the
cross, and at the moment when the
Turks were compelled to retire.''
Premier Delyannis, in an interview,
is reported to have reiterated that the
Greek troops would not be Withdrawn
from Crete, and expressed the fear that
the national clamor would compel the

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The presi-
| sent today sent in the following nomi-
nations: Secretary of state, john Sher-
man, of Ohio: secretary of the treasury,
Lyman J. Gage, of Illinois; secretary
of war, Russell A. Alg er, of Michigan;
attorney-general, Joseph McKenna, of
California: postmaster-general, James
A. Gary, of Maryland; secretary OF
the navy, John D. Long, OF Massachu-
setts: secretary of the interior, Cor
nelius N. Bliss, Of New York; secretary
of agriculture, James Wilson, of Iowa.
To compliment Mr.. Sherman. his
nomination was immediatly confirmed.
The other nominations were referred
as follows: Gage and Bliss to the
finance committee; Alger to the com
mittee on military affairs; McKenna
to the committee on judiciary; Gary to
the committee on postofices and post
roads; Long to the committee on naval
affairs; Wilson to the committee on
agriculture.
The senate without going out of ex-
ecutive session took recess until 2
o'clock.
The first nomination taken up when
the senate reconvened at O'Clock was
that of Gage. This nomination caused
considerable discussion, the silver men
taking occasion to point out the posi-
tion Gage occupies on the financial
question. The silver senators said
they did not intend to interpose any
objection to the confirmation, but
wanted to make it plain that while
there were pledges ma by the new
administration for bimetalism, the new
secretary was a gold man. The other
nomination were confirmed without de-
bate.
Senator Teller, silver republican,
made the principal speech. After the
discussion of the nomination of Gage,
he took up that of Bliss to be secretary
of the interior. He said he considered
this most unfortunate selection. Bliss
was an estimable man, who would have
filled other positions with credit, but !
was entirely untitled for the secretary
ship of the interior, a position of vast
Importance. More cases were decided
involving property rights in the Sec
retary of the interiors Office than were
decided by the United States supreme
court. They were for the most part
legal questions and required knowl-
edge of law. Bliss was not lawyer.
but banker and business man, who |
knew nothing of the many questions
which were to come before him as sec
retary of the interior.

Clackamas County's Accounts to be q
Careful Overhauling-The SPAN
ish Government is on Its
Last Legs.

ATHENS, March 7.-(Copyright, 1897
by the Associated Press. .)-The situa.
tion of affairs here, as this dispatch is
sent III A. M remains grave, although
there are a few signs here and there
since yesterday that pacific solution OF
the Cretan crisis is yet possible. This
is more particularly so in the case of
Greece. It is believed the govern
ment is sincere in not desiring to start
any conhagration which may spread far
and wide. The gravity of the situa-
tion is recognized on all sides, and all
those interested seem willing to arrive
at the peaceful settlement of the diff
culties if possible.
Greece is displaying undiminished
frmness in her intention TO carry out
at all cost the programme which she
mas mapped out for herself in regard to
Crete, while at the same time support
ing the pacific intentions of her ad-
visors.
1t is stated that Prince Maurocordato
the Greek minister at Constantinople,
has addressed a note to the Turkish
government proposing to recall the
Greek troops from the frontier of Ma
cedonia and Albania if the Turkish
troops near the Greek frontier are SIM
ultaneously withdrawn. The porte,
however, has not shown any haste to
accede to this proposition.
The answer of Greece to the identi-
cal notes of the powers was discussed
at meeting of the cabinet and ap-
proved by king George today. 1t is
understood that the reply is refusal
to withdraw the Greek feet and troops
from Crete, on the ground that the re-
call would be a signal for pillage, in
cendiarism and murder. The complete
text of the note will not be known un-
til it is presented to the ambassadors
of the powers tomorrow.
In diplomatic circles it is said that
the Greek answer may lead to nego-
tiations based upon q proposal for CO.
operation which has been presented
by France.
1t is stated that, in view of contem-
plated negative reply of Greece to the
powers, King George has sent orders
to Colonel Vassos, commanding the
Greek forces in Crete, to hold all the
places now occupied by him.
The king is still here, and the date
of departure of the crown prince for
the frontier has not been fixed. Every
effort is being made to concentrate the
Greek troops on the Turkish frontier
before the threatened blockade of the
Greek coast can be effected.

It seems that the car, who has de-

Of his court were costumed as walters

ABOUT TO FALL.
The Spanish Government is On its Last


The Spanish Government is on its Last
Legs.
MADRID, March G.-(Cepyright, 1897,
by the Associated Press. "A very
troubled condition of affairs prevails
in Spain. The most acute distress is
being experienced, the Carlists are
showing unmistakables signs of activity,
there is further alarming news from
the Philippines AMI the government
is disgusted with the performances of
General Weyler in Cuba, but dares not
recall him.
In this connection, startling ex-
planaticn of the inaction of the gov
ernment is hinted at. According to
the rumors circulating here, the
reasons why Weyler is not recalled
are, first, because he is a pronounced
republican: second, because tits in
timated that sooner than return to
Spain in disgrace, he would proclaim a
republic in Havana.
The distress is most severe in the
Biscayan provinces. The people of
Leon are on the verge of starvation,
the crops having been practically des-
troyed by the recent floods which fol-
lowed the previous severe drought,
while on all sides flocks and herds are
dying of famine and disease.
Coupled with the distress, rumors of
strength in the Carlist movement In
the northern and central parts of Spain
causes the greatest anxiety. The pre-
tender is assuming Il patriotic attitude,
however, in view of the colonial
troubles, which may win him sympathy,
and may be of material use to him
when his advisers direct that the
moment has arrived for him to make
another attempt to reach the throne
of Spain.
