OUTLINE A PLAN.
Admirnls Present a Programme 60
the Powers.

IOWero.
Paris, March 13.-The following
semi-official announcement was made
Friday afternoon:
The powers. while united in principle,
have not yet been able to reach a solu-
ton of the Cretan question. Proposals
and objections are being exchanged
hourly.
The programme drawn up by the adj
mirals in Cretan waters is as follows:
Il. a blockade OF the island OF Crete.
''2. A blockade OF the Piraeus and some
OF the other Greek ports.
''S. The seizure, by a detachment OF the
feet. of the telegraph Offices at SYRIA.
"a. Any Greek war ships encountered are
10 be taken TO the island of Milo and kept
there.
''5. Any Greek war ships firing on any for
eign war ships are 10 be sunk and the act TO
be considered casus belli.
&c. Any Greek torpedo boat nearing for
eign war ship is to he fired at.
az. AS the blockade of Greece will require
all the crews of the foreign war ships. each
power is TO send TO Crete a battalion OF In
fantry not less than GOO men I'm number.
Each of the foreign admirals tele-
graphed copy of these proposals to his
government.

WAS a LAND KING.
William Drury. Owner of Hundreds
of Thousands of Acres, Dies.

Ntlftom Drurys OWner OF hundreds
of Thousands of Acres. Dies.
Keithsburg, H., March 15.-William
Drury, known as the millionaire land
owner. died at his country place north
of this city Saturday night. He was
the largest individual land owner in
this country, having hundreds of thou
sands of acres in Colorado, Nebraska.
Texas and Kansas, besides 5000 acres of
the richest fan Inning land in this county.
Mr.. Drury was 81 years old and came
70 this country in 1881. His investments
were made in farm land alone, and he
added every year TO his possessions.
One Of the things for which he was
very famous was his splendid home and
it's famous park. Directly in front of
his house he constructed a park of 13
acres. lie stocked it with buffalo. deer,
elk. foxes, squirrels. antelope, swans.
tiger eats, coons and badgers. This
park soon became famous and was
visited by thousands of persons at all
times. He had six barns, surrounding
S12 900 brick house. a farmhouse with
all the modern improvements, includ-
ing gas. hot and cold water, steam
heat, conservatory and a magnificent
library. Early in his life Mr.. Drury

PERIL OF GREECE.
Powers Threaten Her Destruction
Unless She Yields.
blockade of the Island of Crete and
some Unnamed Grccian Ports
To lie Put I'm Immediate
Operation.

endon, March 15.-The Daily Chroni-
has been delivered to Greece, announc-
ing that the blockade of Crete and GER
tain Greek ports, not yet named, will
begin on Wednesday. Some of the
powers have decided that unless Greece
yields, or if she declares war on Turkey,
measures still more severe will be en-
ployed, even to the point of utterly de-
stroying Greece as nation.
The London Times correspondent at
ST. Petersburg says the formal adhesion
of Great Britain to the blockade pro-
gramme was impaired 10 Russia on
Friday. The English, Russian, German
and Austrian admirals have already
beep instructed as to a blockade of
CZete and Greece.
nj is thought that the simplest way
TO carry out the threat made in the
identical note will be the blockading Of
the Cretan ports and the landing of
forces sufficient to insure the main
tenance of order, leaving future action
as to the fate of Crete to later negotia-
tions. This was the view of Russia at
the outset.
Athens, March 1.-THE Asty's Lar
issa correspondent says that the news
of the destruction of railroad bridge
over the River Vardueri, near Salonica,
has been confirmed. The bridge was
dynamited as train, carrying 5000
Turkish troops, was crossing. Many
carriages were thrown from the rails
and many soldiers were drowned. The
transport of Turkish troops has been
suspended until the bridge is restored.
A dispatch received from Canea says
that the Greek steamer Smyrna, which
arrived here Saturday morning, was or
dered to leave, and its commander re-
piled that he intended to remain there.
Thereupon Admiral Canevaro, the Ital-
ian officer who, by reason of seniority,
is in command of the foreign fleets act
ing in concert in Cretan waters, sent
left Canea in five minutes its cables
would be cut. The Greek captain then
lifted his anchor and steamed away.
1t is officially stated that Turkey is
sending 10000 troops to the Servian
frontier.
New York, March ia special cable
to the journal from Athens says: A
royal decree just issued declares the
army in a state of mobilization, except
ing those exempt from service, amount
ing to 10000. This measure authorizes
acquisitions and the formation of bat
talions of unlimited numbers, as in time
of war. This order, issued at a time
when all advices from Europe indicate
that the powers have agreed to main
tain their decision with regard to Crete
and are on the point of issuing their
ultimatum to Greece, is proof that the
government has resolved not to recede
from its position. The government
will introduce at the next meeting of
the boule measure providing for the
enlistment of volunteers and foreign
officers, who are to retain their rank.

HOPEFUL FEATURES.
Hut Lasting Improvement I'm Trade
Comes Slowly.

New York, March 13.--R. G. Dun &c
Co.. in their weekly review of trade, say:
1T is a curious illustration OF human
nature, this continued disbursement even
while the increase Of productive industries
and of legitimate business steadily grows.
No genuine or lasting Improvement could
come otherwise than slowly and step by
STEP after such depression as the past
four years have witnessed, and the most
hopeful feature of the situation Is that
the gain is so nearly devoid of elements
which involve unsoundness and probable
reaction. The money markets continue es-
pecially favorable TO industrial recovery.
and there is no such speculative epidemic
as to lock up an excessive share of avail
able capital.
THE volume of business shown by clear
ings is but is per cent. smaller than last
year. Failures for the past week have been
256 in the United States, against 300 last
year. and 81 in Canada. against GO last
year."
