POLICY OF THE PORTE.
Turkish Government VIII Hold the
Powers Responsible.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 13.-There is
disposition in official circles here TO hold
the powers responsible for anything that
may happen in Crete. The Sultan has been
prevailed on by the ambassadors to refrain
from sending renforcements of troops to
Crete, and he has also been assured that
the powers have decided not to permit the
landing of Greek troops in Crete. There
fore the whole matter is in the hands of the
powers. and the> Sultans encourage. at
least, is inclined to believe that the pow
ers may have a falling out as to the dispo-
sition TO be made of the insurgent island.
The Council of Ministers, it Is semi-offc-
ally announced. has decided that Turkey
will remain passive pending the efforts of
vention in Crete, but it is further stated
that IL the powers are unsuccessful in
those efforts the Turkish government will
be compelled to begin military operations
on the Thessalian frontiers, or, in other
words, Turkey will declare war against
Greece and promptly invade that country
This is rumor from diplomatic circles.
has been generally officially communicated
to the different embassies, and the Turks
are in earnest. There is no doubt, however
that the willingness of the Sultan to ap-
parently bow to the will OF the powers in
the present Cretan crisis largely due
10 the impoverished state OF the Turkish
treasury Money in no small amount would
be needed to send an army corps to Crete,
and this money is not yet forthcoming
and, usual. the Sultan is calmly reck-
oning on coming out of ii ahead by trust
ing 10 the jealousies off the powers and the
advent of the unexpected.

Hungarian Premier's Statement.

BUDA-PESTH, Feb. 13-In the lower
house Of the Diet, to-day Baron Banffy,
the Hungarian premier. replying TO Dep
uty Kossuth's Interpolation, declared that
all the reports of conferences at which the
question OF tho mobilization of the forces
would be considered were utterly un-
founded. The government. he continued,
was not in a position TO make a detailed
statement regarding Crete, but he could
say that the responsibility for the Distress
full condition of affairs there undoubtedly
rested with the secret Greek committees
whom, he explained, are continually agitat-
ing in a reckless manner. Another reason
was that Turkey, without cause. had pre-
vented the execution of the promised re-
forms. Baron Banffy also said that the
course adopted by Greece was opposed to
the counsels of all the great powers who
unanimously desired peace. and that the
status quo should not be disturbed in the
East In conclusion, Baron Banffy assured
the House that the endeavOr of Austria's
diplomacy is TO avert dangers in the East,
especially any further complications in the
Cretan questions. loud cheers)

sugar and Muscular Exertion.

1t is well known TO Alpine tourists
that on difficult climbing excursion an in
creased desire is felt for the consumption
Of sweets and sweetened foods, and many
who never touch such things at home de-
YOUR large quantities of them on these
tours. Ii Is also frequently remarked how
eagerly the guides appropriate any sugar
that may be left over and consume it en-
route AT the nstigation of the Prussian
War Office, Investigations have recently
been made by special apparatus into
the question whetl er the consumption of
small quantities of sugar rendered the tired
muscles capable of re newed exertion. In
order to obtain practical result. the per-
son who was made the subject of the ex-
pertinent was kept totally ignorant of the
OBJECT of the exDerime nters. On one day
sweet liquor was administered containing
80 grammes OF sugar, on the next day a
similar liquid containing sufficient amount
OF saccharln to render 1t indistnguishable
from the other as regarded taste When
very large amount of muscular work had
been performed, it was found that great
er quantity OF work could be got though on
the days when the sugar was given than
on the days when saocharin was given.
The system had become very poor in sugar
in conSf quence Of the svere muscular effcrt
which had previously been gone though,
and hence the administration of com
paratvely small quantity of sugar had the
effect OF producing an increased capability
for work.-EneZtSh 4Nechanfc

1t is quite common to use bisulphide

ciable extent. On the other hand. corn,
