BREAK IN THE CONCERT.
Great Britain Will Not Help Blockade
Greek Ports.

The change in the policy of Great Brit
ain has assumed definite shape. The re-
cent massacre of Armenians at Tokat, the
danger of further outbreaks in Anatolia
and the action of the porte in semi-0fficial-
ly pointing out to the Turkish press and
provincial officials that the blockade of the
Island of Crete by the fleets of the pow
ers and the support given to the Turkish
forces by the foreign fleets was triumph
for the policy of the sultan, have had their
effect in showing that the Christians In
Armenia are in danger of determination.
Consequently it is semi-officially stated
that the British admiral in Cretan waters
has been notified not to send any warships
of Great Britain to take part in the pro-
posed blockade of the ports of Greece. At
the same time, however, in order, appnr-
emily, to avoid an open rupture with the
powers, Great Britain will acquiesce in
the blockade of the Greek ports. Accord
ing to reports in Constantinople diplomatic
circles the powers have already been mott
fed to this effect and the withdrawal of
Great Britain from the blockade is the one
subject discussed in court and other cir
cles. The sultan's advisers are making
the best of the situation by pointing to the
tute the whole of Europe, and that so
long as the sultan has the support of Rus
sin, France, Germany and Austria he has
nothing TO fear from Great Britain. 1t is
whispered that France will in all proba-
bility follow the example of Great Brit
ain. France, it is explained. could read
lily take this step without disturbing to any
appreciate degree her accord with Rus
- - Z. IL al -, a
French Government would not risk TAX
ing part in the blockade of Greece, which
would be an act of war. without first CON
sulting the chamber of deputies. whose APP
prevail of the coercion policy is regarded
as being far from certain. 1t is stated
that Great Britain has intmated to the
powers that if Greece is blockaded steps
should also be taken to blockade the prin-
cipal Turkish ports. This latest move of
Great Britain in the Eastern game has
undoubtedly called halt for the present
in the coercive measures. and may. it is
said, bring about their abandonment.

TARIFF DEBATE BEGUN.

Great Throngs OF People Were Present
ut the Opening OF the Discussiou.
What will 60 down to history as the
tariff debate Of 1897 began In the House
at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Despite
the early hour of assembling there was n
large attendance on the floor and the gal
leries showed evidence of the great inter-
est manifested In the proceedings. Mr..
Dingley and Mr.. Bailey, the opposing
leaders, were early in their places. BY
the terms of the rule under which the
House is to operate during the considera-
ton of the bill the House Immediately re-
solved itself into committee of the whole
and the Speaker conferred upon Mr.. Sher-
man. representative of New York. the
honor of presiding over the committee.
Those who expected the debate to begin
Immediately were disappointed. The lead
ers decided not to dispense with the read
ing of the bin, but to have 1t read IN full
at the outset In order to disarm the criti-
cism passed on previous bills that they
were put through without even having
been read in the House. The spectators
In the galleries and the members on the
floor waited while the clerk droned
through the 1853 pages of the bill. At the
conclusion of the reading Mr.. Dingley
arose to open the debate and explain the
intent of the bill and the results expected
to follow its enactment.

NEw1 or THE WEEK coNcIsELy
CONDENSED.
Supreme Court Decides that Hasen q.
Pingree Must vacate the ofice of
Mayor Of Detroit-Tuscola County
sends Three Men UP for Life.


Pingree Beaten In the Courts.
In unanimous opinion the Supreme
Court declared the Office of Mayor of De-
troit vacant and directed the Common
Council to call special election for April
3. The court upholds both contentious
of. the petition for, the mandamus, as fol-
lows: ''First--That the holding Of the two
Offices by the same person is prohibited by
Sec. 10 of Art. of the constitution, which
says: No member of Congress nor any
person holding Office under the United
States or of this State shall execute the
Office of Governor Second-That the
two Offices are incompatible under the
rules of common law" Under the first
proposition the Office of Mayor Is held to
be a municipal office with State functions,
and that in accepting the second or guber-
material Office Pingree. vacated the first
Office. AS to the second proposition the
court says that it has been unable to find
any decision which holds that one person
may hold two Offices, in one of which he
is clothed with power to remove the per-
son holding the other. Gov. Pingree will
not resign the governorship. The "old
man." as his excellency is Familiarity cali
ed by his followers, wanted to vindicate
himself as against the Supreme Court de-
cision in ousting him, by permitting the
Republicans of Detroit to nominate him
for Mayor, believing he would be tri-
umphantly reelected. Most of his advis-
ers at the meeting however, especially
those from other parts of the State, in
sisted that it was his first duty to remain
Governor to the end of the term. After
hours of discussion the chief gradually
came around to this view.

Proposal OF the Powers to Grant
Autonomy Is Refused.
A dispatch from Canea, Crete, says
that the insurgent commander-in-chief mt
Akrotiri referred the proposal of the pow
ers to grant autonomy to- Crete to the
various leaders of the insurgent forces
who had assembled from different parts of
of the island. The Cretan leaders unan-
imously declared that only two issues were
possible-the annexation of Crete to
Greece or fighting until death ends the
struggle for the union. Advices from
Aria say that as a result of the protest
of Greece Turkey has stopped the con-
struction of Notifications at Prevesa, at
the northern entrance of the Gulf of Aria,
which was contrary to the stipulations of
the treaty of Berlin. Startling reports
are in circulation regarding the numeri-
cal strength of the Turkish troops on the
frontier. For instance, one report has 1t
that the Turks have concentrated 100000
troops on the frontiers of Epirus alone.
The report. however, is not believed in
Greek military circles.

the weather men announce as certainty.
disaster and havoc have only played half
their ruin. Strange as II may seem, when
the raging torrent ut Cairo Is considered,
II will take the waters ten or twelve days
10 20 from there TO vicksburg. This
means, the weather bureau people explain,
that If the rains ceased Immediately the
highest waters in the Mississippi would
not occur for almost two weeks. Recog-
mixing this inevitable happening, the bu-
reau folks have warned the citizens in the
lower river regions. Those who have al
ready lost their lives were warned In due
time TO leave. They were loath to fice.
1t Is not improbable that others will be
the same and fail TO heed the warnings.
They viii doubtless suffer the conse-
quences. There will be the greatest de-
struction ever known between the mouths
of the Arkansas and Red rivers. There
Is water enough going down now to cnuse
unprecedented loss of life and property.
The first of the week the bureau gave
warning to the people below Vicksburg to
get away from their homes. and they viii
have week yet to remove their stock and
effects. A great food is inevitable. 1t is
hardly in the jurisdiction of the weather
prophets to go back to the primeval causes
of the great rains that have poured al
most ceaselessly throughout the Missis-
sippi valley for the last fortnight. IL sur
fees to say tina. it has rained. The rains
have swollen rivulets into small torrents.
Creeks have widened into rivers. Small
rivers have broadened into lakes and CULTS
that moved, and moved rapidly. Such
general rains have not been witnessed in
decades. Whether sun. moon or stars has
to do with 1t, the weather makers cannot
say. They can only forestall coming oc-
currences after the floodgates Of the heav-
ems have been opened. When the gates
will close they are unable TO tell.

Pure Food Inv.

A. A. Turney, who is Detroit manu-
facturer of baking powder, was taken to
Midland by Sheriff Madill and arraigned
before Justice Brown on charge of sell
ing adulterated mustard to A. See & Co.
of Coleman, on complaint of w. III. Tun-
necliffe. State inspector of foods. He
pleaded not guilty and claimed he went
out and bought the mustard of another
firm to fill an order. II. III. Borradaile,
State analyst, found % per cent of wheat
-four in the sample. Turney's case was
continued. He gave 5000 personal bond.
The sheriff also brought John w. Sym
ons, of Symons & Bros. & Co. of Saginaw.
charged with selling adulterated mustard
to John McMullen of Sanford. The sam
pie showed over 80 per cent wheat -four.
Symons does not deny selling the goods,
but claims all spices bought since the pure
food law took effect were bought on
guarantee of purity and if the mustard is
impure the manufacturers are to blame
The case was continued OH personal re-
cognizance of 5000. Il. o. Grosvenor,
State dairy and food agent, is looking
after the cases for the State.

CYCLONE IN TEXAS.
Austin and Several Villages Suffer
Great Damage.


Sunday afternoon Austin, Texas, and
the surrounding country was visited by
terrible cyclone. Several large electric
light towers were blown down, entailing
a loss of several thousand dollars. Quite
a number of houses in the residence por-
ton of the city were blown down and in
several cases narrow escapes from death
are reported. The small town of Clarks-
vile was swept by the wind and many
horses were killed by flying debris, while
a number of small houses were blown
down, though fortunately the inmates
were not killed, though several were bad
ly MANNED. Reports from the surround
ing country are to the effect that the
storm was general in this section. The
small town of Buda near Austin was
badly handled by the storm, quite num-
Der of houses being blown down and one
or two persons killed, though their names
are not obtainable, owing to the fact
that most of the telegraph wires are down
and the news is very meager. This is the
worst storm that has ever visited that
section and it has laid waste everything
in its track, though fortunately so far
the reports of deaths are few. The storm
was over in an hour and the sun came
out as bright as if nothing had happened.
