n OF TURKS ARBITRARY POWER
Cretnns to Have Some Relief from
Their MOcS.


LONDON, March 1.-The earl Of Kimber-
ley, the liberal leader, called attention in the
House of Lords today to the Cretan policy
of the government. He argued that Ii would
have been wiser and safer to join Crete to
Greece, and held that under any circum-
stances the Turkish troops should be with
drawn from the island simultaneously with
those of Greece.
The premier, Lord Salisbury, replying for
the government, said the policy which was
foreshadowed on Thursday was in the main
that which had been accepted by the pow
ers. Continuing, his lordship explained that
there was not, however, complete unanimity
in regard to the withdrawal of the Turkish
troops. ard he added that Crete would not
be Joined to Greece. The premier thought
the question should be deferred for quieter
and more deliberate consideration, HIS
lordship then said that he sympathized with
the CT etans and desired to see an end put to
their oppression, but, he continued, 1t was
the duty of the government to maintain the
existing conditions until it saw the way to
a safe and peaceful issue therefrom. In con-
clusion, Lord Salisbury said: Il can assure
the House that we are resolved upon an
effective autonomy for Crete whereby is
meant the Withdrawal of the arbitrary power
of Turkey

CAPITOL REMOVAL hill IS DEAD.
Motion to Indefinitely Postpone
Passes the House.

PtSSeS the III
PIERRE, S. D., March Especial Tele-
~gram)-The first move in the house this
morning was to indefinitely postpone the
capitol removal bill, which went through by
n vote Of "a to 3S. This cleared the storm
cloud which had been hanging over that body
for the past week, and the populists got back
three men who had been voting with the re-
publicans ever since the senatorial cleo
ton. g,
The first bill after that was the general
election law, which passed by a strict party
vote. This was followed in the afternoon by
the Investigation which provides for a com
mittee of three. one OF each party; the IN
surance commissioners bill, the regency bill,
all to give populists appointments, me
house also passed the wolf bounty bill, and a
bill for sinking an artestan well on state
| lands in Meade county. The general appro-
p"rlation bill YVES introduced, given first am
second readings, and made a special order
for 3 o'clock tomorrow. The non-lntereSt
bearing warrant bill is a special order 10
follow the appropriation bill.
The senate passed the bill to place the
county printing in papers of the largest cir
~culation. but killed that part OF which pro
vides that it must also go to papers or diher-
ent politics. The osteopathy bill, when mas
passed the house, was forced to second read
Ing in the senate. and VIII come up fol' hna
passage tomorrow. The valued policy insur-
ance law, which provides for a-uniforHl policy
for all companies, which passed the mouse
several weeks ago, was indefinitely postponed
in the senate. In the program In the house
today the populists did not desire to discuss
their bills themselves, nor intend that The
opposition should do so. Any effort of dis
cussion called a motion for the preVloui
question. The regency bill. which passed
lacked a few votes of the two-.hirds required
to carry it as an emergency measure, and, al
the popullsts wanted the plums at once, sn'
did not desire to wait. the bill was sent owe
to tomorrow for further consideration wnel
II is honed to get the desired vote and opel
up the offices at once.

cRETAN BLUE BOOK is ssuED
Fit of Inside History Made Public
About the Powers.

CANEA. March "A Cretan blue book
has been issued, covering a period between
February, 1896, and September, 1896. 1t is
chiefly interesting as showing Lorl
Salisbury's steady refusal to accept Count
G~oluchowski's proposal to blockade Crete in
the event that Greece should disregard the
| collective note of the powers demanding a
stoppage of the importation of arms and the
! sending of volunteers into Crete. Count
Goluchowski expressed great regret at the
attitude Of Lord Salisbury and the fear that
further maseacres would result. 1t appears
that Lord Salisbury commended that 1t was
not an even-handed policy to use the fleets
OF the powers against the Cretans and only
! Diplomatic rcmonstrances against the sui
tan. As far back as September Lord Sails
| bury virtually advocated autonomy for Crete
and declared he could only join a coercive
measure against Greece in case she should
mako a hostile attack upon the integrity OF
tho Turkish empire.
ATHENS, March 1.-The Chamber OF
Deputies adopted by a vote Of l25 to 2 a
resolution OF confidence in the government,
the opposition party abstaining from voting
1t is now stated that the powers will pre-
sent identical notes to Greece instead OF a
collective note.
