II Is understood that the blockade of
Ireece hangs fire because some of the
powers decline to send the necessary war

sesses the largest fleet she ought to en-
dure the brunt of the work
Great Britain, however. is reluctant to

and France, and certainly to Admiral Ca
naViro the Italian officer In command of

rather than take part In the blockade In
so doing he represented the feeling of the
Italian nation, but in the interest of the
concert of the powers he was advised to
remain as his post
Great Britain France and Italy favor
concessions which will enable Greece to
recede from her present situation. Russia
and Austria appear to be rather unde-
cided as to what course to pursue, but
Russia is credited with the desire to allow
the Cretans to decide their fate by a pleb-
iscite,
Germany declines to yield on any point,
and besides she is encouraging Turkey
against Greece and refuses to consent to
the broad scheme of autonomy for Crete
which has been proposed by the other
powers. There Is u rumor at Athens that
Germany has at last been informed that
since she makes no sacrifice she is not in
a position to dictate. If this Is true, the
concert of the powers may stl become
something more than a mere name.

10000 Farms.
VAS

Washington, April ia statement re-
garding the agricultural interests of the
submerged districts of the Mississippi
valley south of Cairo, ILL.,, has been is
sued by the department of agriculture
The Hooded districts contain it Is esti-
mated, about 39,500 farms, of which
about 1880 are in Mississippi nearly
10000 in Arkansas and a like number
about equally divided between Missouri
and Tennessee. These farms contain
total area of about $780, coo acres half OF
which Is in Mississippi and rather over
one-fourth in Arkansas, the proportions
in Missouri and Tennessee being about
the same as in the case of number OF
farms.
About million and a half acres of the
area under water were last year
devoted to cotton and corn in
which crops nearly 50 per cent of the en-
tire acreage cultivated is submerged.
1t is estimated that of the crops of
last year over 50. 10000 worth remained
on hand in the submerged region on the
last of the month, cotton representing
about two thirds of this amount, and
corn the balance.

THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE


Washington, April 1.-THE final agree
ment among democrats silver ropubl-
cans and popullsts in the senate, look
ing to a perfect coalition has been reach
ed at a meeting of representatives. of
those parties
The agreement had it's origin in an eff
fort to reorganize the senate committees,
but IT is destined apparently to reach
far beyond this situation, and In fact to
affect the future proceedings of the sem
ate in all matters, If not to the extent
of shaping party policies throughout the
country. There were present Senators
Gorman Cockrcll, Walthall Jones of
Arkansas and Murphy democrats; Sena-
tors Cannon and Mantle silver republic
cans; Senators Allen and Pettigrew, pop
ulists
With reference to the matter of the
senate organization ii was decided that
the combination should hold out for the
management OF committees. and to all
places on committees heretofore held by
democrats while it was agreed that the
republicans should have the places here
tofore filled by republicans. This would
give the republicans all the chairman
ships vacated by the retirement of Sem
ators Cameron, Sherman, Dubois, Nit
chell of Oregon and Brown. but 1t will
give the combination about eight vacan-
cies while it allows the republicans only
about three. The committee decided
against making any concessions, even
though they have been allowing the re-
publicans to fill three vacancies in the
committee on appropriations.
The silver republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the coali-
tion is TO protect the finance committee,
which they feared might become an anti
silver organization in case the republi-
cans were allowed to have their own
way in committee organization.
All intention to interfere with the pass
age Of the tariff bill through the senate
through the coalition of democrats, sill
yer republicans and populists is denied
by the parties to the agreement.
The republican senator's are not in
clined to credit the reports Of coalition
against them in the senate, and say fur
thermore that the committees have nc
authority to represent their parties, and
that the agreement can not be binding.
