WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Nothng has
given the Republicans who are gathered at
the capital greater satisfaction than the
settlement of the ugly factional row in
ONO. Republican leaders are not as a
general thing consumed with idolatrous love
for Mr.. Hanna, but they did not want to
see him turned down in the way proposed
because it would have been regarded as a
slap in the face of the incoming administra-
ton, calculated to bring it into unmerited
and entirely unnecessary disrepute before
the whole country. The desire to give
President-elect Mckinley good send off is
unanimous among the national leaders and
for the time being nothing but the kindliest
expressions of good will towards him are
heard in Washington. Criticism and un-
friendly comments are stilled. The time for
that is felt to have passed. and has given
place TO the cordial hope that the new ad-
ministration may have such a start as will
encourage the country to look with con-
fidence into the future What the people
want most is a return of business activity,
and even among partisan Democrats there
is a manifest indisposition to throw any OBJ
stacles in the Republican path. Give 'em
a show and let us see if the Republicans
can bring better times" is the remark
heard among Democrats on every hand
For the moment they want restored pros
perity more than they want Republican
failure. hence the unwonted expressions of
opposition good will.

DEBATE IN THE COMMONS.
LabOuchere Calls Turkeys sultan
Cur, and Then Apologies.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The parliamentary
secretary of the Foreign Office, George
Curzon, answering a question in the House
of Commons to-day, said that the presence
of the Greek troops in the Island of Crete,
so far appeared TO have added to the dis
order. The powers, ne continued, did not in
tend to delegate 10 the Greek forces the
duty of keeping order in the interior of the
island. Mr.. CurZon further denied that the
warships had attacked the Greeks. He in
sisted, however, that the foreign fleets had
no choice but TO prevent by force the con-
tinued advance of the insurgents on Canea.
This statement was greeted with opposition
cries of shame" and ministerial cheers.
Mr.. Labouchere moved the adjournment
of the House in order to call attention to
the firing on the Greek forces by British
war ships and all the members of the op-
position present rose in support of the mo-
ton including the whole of the front op-
position bench. Mr.. Labouchere said that
the question was not party one. hut a
national one, and added: THE Liberals
will do their utmost TO prevent further ac
ton i'm behalf of that miserable cur. that
foul blot on civilization-the Sultan OF
Turkey"
The speaker pointed out that the rules
of the House required the use of more re-
spectful language towards a foreign SOW
ereign, whereupon Mr.. Labouchere apollo
by the statements of Mr.. Gladstone and
Others
John Dillon. chairman of the Irish par
liamentary party, in Seconding Mr.. La
bOuchere's motion TO adjourn, said that the
House had been silent too long. Her Ma
joSty's ships had committed an outrage in
firing people, who, after centuries of
oppression, were risking their lives for
freedom.
~ j. Balfour, the first lord of the treas
ury and government leader. dwelt on the
difficulty and danger of the present crisis.
The powers he explained. were absolutely
unanimous in agreeing that they should do
everything 10 avert war The fears arising
from the situation, Mr.. BalfOur continued,
were shared by responsible statesmen
throughout the length and breadth of Eu-
rope. He added: "Will any one maintain
that after the powers had occupied the
towns of Crete they were To fold their arms

Statement by Baton Won Bieberstein
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

BERLIN Feb PIN the course of the
debate in the Reichstag to-day on the for
egn office estimates the minister for for
egn affairs. Baron Marschal Won Bieber
stein, replying 10 question on the situa-
ton in Crete, stated that the German war
ship Kaiserin Augusta arrived off Canea
yesterday forenoon, landing fifty marines
to take part in the joint foreign occupa-
tion of that place. and went into action
in the afternoon. Baron Marschal then re-.
ferred to the bombardment, but said he
was compelled to refrain from making a
detailed statement of the subject at pres
ent He added that he could only say
that it was in line of German policy clear
ly marked out-namely. resolute interven-
tion in favor of the maintenance OF peace,
adding: Germany has no Individual IN
terests of any kind 10 observe in the East,
and we can therefore more vigorously and
unreservedly devote ourselves to the great
task of maintaining peace" Continuing,
the minister for foreign affairs said: The
work of pacifying Crete undertaken by the
ened by the action of Greece. which is
contrary to international war The re-
ports which have received show that the
pacifying the island has led to steadily
growing anarchy. This circumstance con-
stftutes in itself, and in its reaction on
other nations Il grave danger to peace.
To avert this is the next task. This will
include definite settlement of affairs of
Crete and granting tne just uefnanuS Oh
the Christians. which can be done without
encroachng on the integrity of Turkey"
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein also re-
ferred TO the pending negotiations between
the powers. and remarked: THE Rechstag
will be fully Uniformed as soon as possible.
In the meanwhile it will be well to remem-
ber that Germany will be taking the best
course in the cause of humanity by en-
ploying all her strength TO avert war,
which would spread indescribable misery
over vast areas" (Cheers.)
Herr Richter protested at Germany's TAX
ing the initiative in proposing to blockade
the PiraeuS.
After further discussion Baron Marschal
Won Rieberstein said that 200. 600 900 marks
of Greek securities were held in Germany
and that the German government. In con-
junction with the governments OF the other
powers, would continue to advocate the
claims of the creditors of Greece. The mat
ter was then dropped.

toned the government on the Cretain ques-
ton He raid that the return of the island
to Turkish rule was now impossible.
NJ. AIillerand, Socialist. supported NJ.
Denyscochin's remarks. He said that all
the powers were not acting from dsinter-
ested motives and Frances sole care should
be the honor and interest of France. His
statement was greeted with cheers from the
Left
NJ. Hanotaux the minister of foreign af-
fairs, replying to NJ Denyscochin, who also
criticised the governments Armenian
policy, said that Europe had the choice of
forcible or pacific measures, and she chose
the latter. Therefore, France could not
herself intervene forcibly. One power, he
added, had actually proposed forcing the
passage OF the Straits of the Dardanelles
and seizing the Sultan in his palace but
Europe had not assented to this. England,
he continued then came back TO France
proposal for conference of ambassadors at
COnStantinople with the view to reorganiZe
and not DESTROY the Turkish empire. This
proposition NJ. HanotauX further said,
already known, was accepted.
NJ. Hanotaux made q long speech uphold
ing the necessity for preserving the Euro
pean concert as the only means of averting
an Eastern confiegration and restraining
individual ambitions threatening the in
tegrity of the Turkish empire, which, If
touched at any point, would break up, pro-
ducing general war, the end of which no
body could foretell. The European con-
cert, so derided for its sowness and apathy,
was justified, he insisted, by its success in
averting such a dreaded event. Diplomacy
had surmounted previous problems i'll the
Balkan territories and so permeated the
Musselman world with the European spirit
that in the case of Roumania, Bulgaria,
Servia. Roumelia and other similar states
the people had gradually been brought TO
live in harmony. The problem had now
arisen. he continued and 1t was not beyond
the power of European diplomacy TO solve
IL peacefully. The fact that without strik
ing a blow one of the SultanS provinces had
been handed into European control was the
first result of the conferring in the future
on Christian CretanS the benefits of autono
nous administration, said NJ. Hanotaux.
Greece, having by her rashness risked a
general war Europe had the right, he
thought, to intervene and check these dan
gerous pretensions. The presence Of the
fleets of the powers he declared. gives as
surance that Crete would never return to
direct Turkish administration. and that no
power could take isolated action TO the
detriment OF another. Turkey would recog-
nze, he added. that her own safety depends
upon the acceptance of the powers scheme
of administrative reform for her provinces.
In conclusion he announced that France
would strive TO cooperate with the Euro
pean concert.
The order of the day expressing conf
dence on the policy of NJ Hanotaux was
then adopted by a vote of 4l3 10 IS.

GREEK ARMY AND NAVY.
800, 900 HelIenes Could BE Put in the
FieId-Good Torpedo FIOtiIln.

Greece has a military system modelled on
that of Germany. All able-bodiesi males
over twensSr-one years old are compelled to
serve nominally for nineteen years. As
matter of fact, only two years are required
of actual service with the colors" and
even that time is cut down by long leaves
of absence. Every man, is supposed, how
ever, TO receive some military training. The
real strength of the standing army is 24,S1l
men, comprising 1916 infantry, 4T7 caval-
ry and 1908 artiilerymen. The regular army
"mobilized' consists of fully 10O,O 900 men. The
reserves could be called out to the num-
ber of 10i 800, and back OF that is the ter
rtorial army of $4,000 men. OF these 350,-
600 men Greece could probably not furnish
more than 10000 well disciplined and effec-
tive fighting men. If the country were in
vaded Of course every man and boy capable
OF bearing arms would fight, and the in
vaders would have more man 5soVo troops

Paul VandervOOrt Speaks at the Meet
ing Called by His Faction.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Feb. 22-The main fac
ton of the Reform Press Association met
here this morning and listened TO an ad-
dress by President Vandervoort, in the
course of which he denounced both the
Democratic and Republican parties. Re-
garding silver he said: I'VE will never con-
sent to make another campaign with that
question as the vital issue. Our thunder
would be stolen by the Republicans and we
would be stranded by the roadside with the
disorganized, broken-down, spawned wreck
of the Democratic party. If we continue to
retain silver as one of our cardinal doc
trines. we should declare in favor of the
normal ratio held by two-thirds of the ma
tionS of the earth-151s TO l." In conclusion
he said: THE great obstacle to our success
IS the Democratic party. We were all de-
luded by the siren song of an honorable
union and led through the slaughterhouse
to the brink OF an open grave by our most
trusted leaders. Fusion is the deadly upas
tree that poisons and kills our party. Be
