PEACE OF EUROPE
Belief Prevalent That 1t Is Sc
riously Endangered by At
fairs in Crete.
Proclamation Of the Cretan Com
mittee Received With Re-
joicing in Greece.
The Whole Greek Fleet Ordered
at Once to the Scene Of
Trouble.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-Private and Off.
Sial advices and private letters from
English officers show that the troubles
IN the island of Crete are undoubtedly
caused by Greek agitators, and that
the Christians are undoubtedly the
aggressors The Greek government,
believing that the end of the Ottoman
empire is near, thinks the time oppor-
tune to carry out the long cherished
desire to annex the island of Crete.
Public officials here and on the con-
tinent regard the situation as serious
and as threatening the peace of the
whole Of Europe.
In the event Of collision between
Turkey and Greece, it is doubtful
whether the entente of the powers
could be maintained. The papers
everywhere urge the powers to bring
pressure to bear upon Greece in order
to prevent her further aggravation of
Turkey.
It is announced that the Turkish
warships and transport have left
Constantinople for the island of Crete,
and that in spite of the advices of his
ministers and of the ambassadors, the
sultan favors the dispatch of troops
and repressing the trouble by force.
A dispatch to The Times from Canea
says: The Immediate cause of the out
break was the news of the troubles at
Heraklion. Before dawn one half of
the Mohammedans had left the
town, and great numbers fired upon
Galata and other villages. The Chris
tians descended from the mountains
in strong forces and during the next
two days there were incessant conflicts
around Canea, in which the Christians
appeared to have had the advantage.
The efforts of the consuls and bishop to
pacify them failed, and the Mohamme-
dams, whose anger had been aroused to
the utmost found themselves unable to
continue their expedition into the coun-
try. The excitement among the Chris
tians of Canea increased, but the first
fighting in the town was on Thursday,
which commenced with desultory shots
and in few moments became general
and incessant. The shooting continued
until dark Among the victims were
Turkish soldiers, but the troops never
theless, under great provocation, be-
haved excellently.

of war, and the foreign fleets may have
taken action to prevent further disor-
ders. The proclamation issued by the
Cretan committee in this city calling
upon all. freemen for assistance, was
received with great enthusiasm, and
many responses have been made in the
shape of financial donations and offers
of physical service if necessary. Cries
of Long live the Union, and Long
live Crete are heard on the streets in
all parts of the city Nor are the DEM
onstrations in favor of union with
Crete confined to this city.
An Occasion for Revenge.
Reports from cities and towns in all
parts of the kingdom indicate that the
people are aroused and determined to
make the present trouble on the island
of Crete an occasion for revenging
themselves on their old enemies, the
Turks, by gaining control of Crete.
The island belongs to Turkey, but has
numerous Grecian population. It's
history is one of bloodshed since the
Turks wrested it from the Venetians in
1869 The progressive spirit of the
Greeks makes them desirous of throw
ing off the Turkish yoke. Fighting
between the fanatic Mussulmans and
Christians has been going on for some
time, and only last year Turkey was
forced by the concert of the powers to
institute reforms, which, however, seem
to have been of little benefit. In
the last few weeks, daily reports of
massacres of Christians have been re-
ceived, and there has been tremend.
Gus pressure on the Grecian govern.
ment to succor the prosecuted Chris
tians. The representatives of some of
the powers have expressed to the Greek
government surprise at the fact that
warships have been sent to the island
of Crete and that open demonstrations
in favor of Greece and Crete are toll
Grated throughout the kingdom. The
report that the Christians are forming
a provisional government on the island
is not given much credence in this city
as the latest news from Canea indicates
that the Christians are fighting under
the flag of Greece all along the line

AN OCCASION FOR REVENGE.

How the Greeks Look Upon the Present
Trouble In Crete.
ATHENS, Feb. 10.-According to the
latest reports from Canea the situation
on the island of Crete is critical, to say
the least. In Canea it is said the Chris
tians have hoisted the Greek flag and
invited the commander of the Greek
fleet to train his guns On the city in the
name of the king of Greece. 1t is also
stated that the Greek squadron, on
arriving at Canea, did not salute the
Turkish flag. If these rumors are true

Arrival of the Schooner Sar ah Palmer
from Louisburg-other News of Inter-
est Along Shors.
Yesterday was the day of days on
which to visit the harbor. The lower
roads were filled with storm bound YES
sells of all sizes, kinds and rigs. In the
upper harbor many fishermen were living
at anchor and several yachts were flying
about among them as if it were a pleas
ant summer day instead of dreary driz-
cling afternoon.
The schooner. Sarah Palmer from Louis
burg with coal, arrived yesterday after
noon after long trip through the fog. On
her way up to Louisburg on her last trip
from Portland, she made the run in 60
hours, but was obliged to lay outside of
thick fog. She left Louisburg for Port
land on Saturday and encountered moth
ing but fog all the way down. The cap
tain was unable to get an observation,
but discovered his position on Wednesday
by seeing the muddy condition of the
waters miles away from the mouth of
the Kennebec.
The Brynlys, the handsome new schoon-
er owned by Messrs. Nathan and Will
liam H. Clifford, Jr., is at anchor off the
yacht club house. She was brought here
from East Boothbay Wednesday. 1t was
her maiden trip and served to show that
she is good sea boat. A heavy sea was
running off Seguin and the schooner
went through it handily. She made
good time in the light winds encountered
during the day, although no effort was
made to speed her, only the lower sails
and main top sail being set. The. schoon-
er was built by the Rice brothers at East
Boothbay. She is about go feet over all
and 40 feet on the water line and of mod
ern construction and model. Below
decks she has commodious and handsome
quarters. The saloon contains two large
berths and sofa ON each SIDE Forward
of the saloon are two roomy staterOoms,
with double berths. The galley is.on the
starboard side, forward of the state
rooms, and is conveniently arranged.
Comfortable quarters for the crew are pro-
vided in the forward part.of the boat,
there being large set berth for the sail
ing master and pipe berths for the men.
The interior finish is of mahogany and
wildwood. The schooner is built with
cockpit beneath which is large
amount of storage room. There is also
sail locker in the overhang. With her
graceful lines, and long overhanging bow
and stern, the Brynlys is a handsome
craft and looks like fast one

positively that he did give 1t to him.
Washburn acknowledged that the next

Women On the School Board.
TO the Editor of the Press:

4 U tt6 IuttOT " tftO 1 Coos
The long list of voters published in
Wednesdays papers, who favor the pro-
posed amendment placing women on the
school board, would seem to indicate
that conservative Portland is at last
awakening to the fact that women may
here, asDelsewhere, render good service in
educational matters by being chosen
on the school committee.
This is no untried movement, for more
than 20 years since London took the
initiatory step, Scotland and Austri a
adopted it, and in this country 81 states
either partially or fully, allow women to
share in educational management. In
both Massachusetts and Iowa it is obli-
gatory that at least one member of the
state board of education be women.
The efficiency of Miss Lucretia Croker s
faithful service of more than ten years in
Boston, was proved by the resolutions
passed at her death by the unanimous
vote of the school board.
Is the home influence entirely symmetri-
cal and harmonious where both father
and mother do not exercise together a
wise forethought over their children S
mental and moral developme MT? Why
then at the tender age of five, when the
child enters upon the public school cur
riculum, should the woman's judgment
be dispensed with? We appreciate the
faithful and often laborious service of
the school committee, but women are not
apt to shirk their responsibilities, and
they ask that they may be allowed a
share also in the essentially feminine
sphere of directing Alright the education
and wise development Of their children.
A WOMAN.
