NAVAL DEBATE BEGUN.
Emperor Williams Programme
Under Fire in the Reichstag.

BERLIN, March 18.-The debate IN
the reichStag on the naval estimates
began today. DIR Leiber, Clerical, chair
man of the committee, during a speech
lasting several hours, explained the
course pursued by the committee.
Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor, de-
clared that the necessity Germany
would have for a fleet was generally
recognized, adding that a display OF
power was a first condition for the de-
velopment of trade and was necessary
to make sure that no one should find 1t
an easy task to disturb the country'A
development.
THE growth of other fleets he con-
tinued lis additional ground to demand
new ships The fleet does not reach
modern requirements, and the quicker
we reach our goal the greater weight
we shall be able to place the country
for preserving of peace" (Applause.)
The minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein, urged the
necessity Of a strong fleet of cruisers.
He said:
''The German shipownerS have world
wide interests and in this sense Ger
many must pursue worldwide pol
icy We took part in the action Of otn-
er powers in preserving order, in main
tanning the peace of Europe but where
shall we find additional cruisers 10
send there If the situation does not
improve shortly?p
Count Won Kardorff, Conservative,
urged that the demand of the navy be
Immediately granted. and he said
France was making for both her navy
and army big improvements. Herr
Muller, Centrist recalled the opinion OF
Prince Bismarck that Germany must
rely on her land forces. The Center
party, he added had voted all that
was necessary. and a halt in the build
ing of ships must be made somewhere.
AS 1t was, loan Of so 000.000 MARKS
was necessary for the navy Herr
Werner, anti-Semite admitted that the
demands of the navy were justified,
but he urged = slower pace. The ami
Semites, he continued, were willing TO
vote for one cruiser when the time
came The discussion was then ad-
journed

river continuous rains are the rule. At
Memphis and throughout this district
the rainfall in the last twenty-four
hours amounted to 2.64 inches. So
long as the heavy rains continue there
is small chance Of q cessation of the
overflow.
At Cairo the rise continues in about
the same proportion. two-tenths Of a
foot being recorded in the twenty-four
hours this morning when the gauge
indicated fifty feet This is ten feet
above the danger line and within two
feet and a fraction of the extreme high
water mark reached about week ago.
At Helena, where the rainfall was
almost as heavy as at Memphis, the
river rose eight-tenths of foot in the
twenty-four hours ending this morning
+ when the gauge indicated 46.7 feet
which is 81 feet above danger lire
AT Viekshurgs the river rose another
eight-tenths, the gauge being Al feet
which is II feet above danger line. At
Greenville the rise in the twenty-four
hours was six-tenths of a foot, 39.S
feet being the stage. This is within
two-tenths of foot of the danger line.
AT Shreveport and New Orleans the
river continues to rise.
The work of rescue and relief goes
forward with unabated zeal Four or
fVe rescue steamers arrived here today
bringing several hundred refugees,
nearly all of whom are destitute to be
cared for by the charity Of Memphis
people. The relief committee has Its
hands full. AS long as the overflow
continues funds will be needed to re-
lieve the immediate pressing wants OF
the flood sufferers. Inasmuch as al
of the sufferers practically are residents
Of Arkansas the relief committee teIe-
graphed Gov. Jones, of that state, ask
ing his cooperation in relieving the
distress in which thousands of the peo-
pie of his state were. The governor
replied that there were no funds at
his disposal. The local relief commit
tee has sent out an appeal to the in
dividual citizens Of Arkansas, Tennes-
see and Missippi.
Tonight the Yazoo Valley railroad
has abandoned it's trains, owing to the
encroachment Of the water over its
tracks a few miles south of Memphis
The railroad situation on the Arkan-
sas side of the river remains unchanged,
all trains entering the city over the
Iron Mountain tracks which remain a
few inches above water.

Jackson Tells a New Story.
CONFESSION INVOLVES DR.. WAGNER.

FRANKFORT. Ky, March 1S-As a
pite from Gov. Bradley, or a commu-
tation Of sentence for himself and
Alonzo NJ Walling, Scott Jackson has
made another 7o-caIled confession and
Walling has signed it. Upon their ar
rest one year and six weeks ago each
confessed that the other committed the
murder. Each has been in the confes-
sion business very frequently ever
since. These written individual confess
sions, signed by their respective au-
thors, were vague and eyasiye. Now,
for the first time comes a confession
prepared by Scott jackson in the Alex
andria Jail. and signed also by Alonzo
NJ Walling to be sent to- Gov Bradley,
that confession is now in his hands.
1t is vcluminoUs, somewhat eyasive
and not little f0ggy. IT justifies the
general exclamation, Who will believe
it?'' which was heard everywhere on
the streets today when the announce
ment was made that a confession had
been obtained. 1t was secured for
big money consideration, the proceeds
to go to the mothers of the condemned
men. Its distinguishing characteristic
is that it contradicts, ia almost every
particular. the theory Of the defense in
the long trials of each OF these two
men. During the trial witnesses were
brought from Bellevue, Ky village
just above Newport, to prove that
Jackson. Walling and Fearl Bryan were
seen In that village about noon on the
Thursday before the murder. The de-
fense attacked the. veraxity OF John
Foster, one Of the witnesses and tried
to show that a druggist. Oertmeyer. a
second witness. had told contra adictory
stories about seeing the murderers and
their victim. NV. IN this confession
the scene of the immediate prelimina-
ries Of the murder is transferred to
Bellevue On Wednesday,. and Thursday
nights. Jan. g and SO. 1856
DIR. Wagner. of Bellevue. is involved
in the murder by the tnnfessinn. AT

know, however, whether Germany had
dispatched any troops to Crete.
John Morley, Liberal, asked If ii was
true, as stated by NJ. Hanotaux, the
French minister for foreign affairs. in
the chamber of deputies, that Greece
mad again been invited to comply with
the decision of the powers and that In
the event Of her refusal the threat of

hr1ng up amid great cheering from the
ministerial benches, said in substance
that the leaders of the opposition were
constantly trying to embarrass the
government by questions and speeches
In and out of the house. Thereupon Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal
leader, reminded Mr.. Balfour that the
Marquis of Salisbury had referred the
house TO the speeches on the certain
questions made by Mr.. Melin and M.
Hanotaux in the French chamber Of
deputies and had not given the house
any information for themselves. (Op-
position cheerS)
Sir William Harcourt reiterated Mr..
Morley's question, which brought fur
ther cheers from the opposition bench
es. Mr.. Balfour, in reply, told Sir Will
liam Harcourt TO get his friends in the
other house (the house of lords) to ask
the premier for an explanation. Min
isterial cheers) Continuing, Mr.. Bal
four said: IF the opposition wish to
move a vote of censure let them name
the day. We are quite ready for the
debate" Tremendous cheers from the
government suppoTters) The incident
was then closed
The badgering of Mr. Balfour caused
much excitement, the opposition eVi-
IDENTIFY making the most of the state
ment of the Marquis of Salisbury the
other day, when he referred to the
speeches Of NJ. Meline and M Hano-
taux.
1t is understood in the Hobbies of the
house of. commons that Sir William
Hareourt will shortly take up Mr. Ball
four,s challenge and move an address
to the crown on Cretan affairs.
Apparently the blockade of the island
of Crete does not begin until Sunday
next, but the situation is very puzzliHg.
Sir William Harcourt tried to obtain
light on the subject today in the house
Of commons, but Mr.. Balfour refused
to be drawn into any definite state~
ment on the subject.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-03-19

CANEA, Crete, March 1S.-The Aus
trian gunboat Zebuico has fired upon
and sunk, near Gambia, a Greek vessel
loaded with provisions and munitions
which were intended for the Greek
forces in Crete. 1t appears that the
Zebuico, while watching the Greek
ship, was fired upon by a party Of in
surgents. To this the Austrian war
ship replied by sinking the Greek craft
and driving off the insurgents. 1t is
feared that, when this news becomes
generally known in Athens. it will serve
TO greatly irritate the populace
1t is understood that the admirais
will compel the Greek warship Pinyioes
to leave the Cretan waters tomorrow.
Col. Vassos is gathering great quaint
ties of provisions together at his new
camp at Sphakia, situated in one Of
the mountainous portions Of the island.
The Greek commander is showing no
slgns CT any intention of evacuating
the island, and consequently it is be-
feved he has received orders to re-
main in occupation in spite Of the op-
position Of the powers.
The admirals Of the foreign fleets in
these waters have telegraphed to their
respective ambassadors at CONSTANT
nople notifying them of the blockade
Of the island of Crete Warships will
be sent to tour the island and give the
mayors Of the chief ports copies Of the
proclamation Of autonomy and the an
nouncement of the blockade
Athens, March 1S.-Accerding to per-
sistent rumors circulated here, Col.
VaSsoS, the commander of the Greek
army of occupation, has been ordered
to oppose the landing Of the foreign
troops now on their way to Crete This.
however, may mean only a formal op-
position, as protest against the action
of the powers.
New York, March ia dispatch IL
the Herald from Salonika, says: 1t is
officially stated that ia battalions of
Turkish infantry, forty-five batteries
Of artillery and six regiments Of cav
airy, approximately 100 600 men, are
now distributed along the Greek from
tier.
