UNIONS RECORD.
Two Legal HanginGs and Two LynchIngs
in Fifty Years.

Two Legal HanginEs and Two Lynchlngs
in Fifty Years
UNION, Mo-, Feb. 1s.-The hanging
Of Arthur Duestrow is the second legal
execution that has taken plsce in
Union. The first occurred in 1857,
when Edward d. Worrold was banged
for the murder of Paymaster Gordon.
He had murdered and robbed the vic.
tim, who was his travelling companion.
Union has been the scene of two
jynchings. In 1s47 a negro known as
Eli Lennox, who had criminally as
saulted white woman, was taken from
Jail and hanged from a walnut tree not
two blocks from the spot where DHes-
trow met his death. Lagrand Hail
was lynched in that town in 1868 for
the murder of his sister.

LONDON. Feb. 19.-The Chronicle

tion from its special commissioners,
Mr.. Henry Norman, who is now in
Athens, and who will be remembered
as the representative of that paper at
Washington during the Venezuelan
dispute. Mr.. Norman sets forth at
length the Greek view of the situa-
ZION, and his communication amounts
to a defense of the action taken
by Greece. He SAYS that

forms in Crete, the sultan ordered that
the Cretan diet should not be per-
mitted to meet During the corona

the diet to meet, whereupon the sultan
complied, but the Cretan Mussulmans
were informed that if the diet did
meet their cause was lost. Then be-
gan the Mussulman outrages in Crete.
Mr.. Norman details the money and
other sacrifices made by the king and
government in behalf of the Cretans
for the purpose of showing that they
were driven to act to avert disaster.
Continuing, he says that Greece re-
fuses to Oe coerced. Col. Vassos has
been ordered not to retire unless the
powers fire on him, when he must re-
tire inland without replying to the
fire. He is, however, to resist the
Turkish troops. He adds that several
thousand armed volunteers are ready
to enter Macedonia as soon as the orr
der Is given.

Collision Liable to Occur at Any Mo-

ATHENS, Feb. I9.-It is asserted here
that Turkish force embarked at Con-
stantinOple yesterday and sailed for
Crete. They will not be permitted to
land, for Greece is firmly determined
to enforce her decree ordering the
torpedo fotilla to prevent the debarka-
ton of Turkish reinforcements on the
island. It is stated that the command
ers of the foreign squadrons in Cretan
waters have induced Col. Vassos not
to lombard the town of Halepa, which
he was preparing to do, they promis-
ing that solution of the whole ques-
ton favorable to Greece would be
soon arrived at by the powers.
The situation on the frontier of
Greece is very threatening, and it
would not be surprising to hear of
actual hostilities there at any time.
All the available Turkish troops are
being concentrated on the frontier.
In the present temper of the troops
a very slight incident might bring
about a serious collision. The advices
received here show that the situation
is daily becoming more and more criti-

The Landing of Marines at HeraklIon and
other Points.

$1,000 -
other Points.
ATHENS, Feb. 1S.-It is believed here
that attachments of marines were
landed from the foreign war ships at
Heraklion, Retimo and Sitia, yester-
day, it being the purpose of Vice-Ad-
miral Canevaro, of the Italian navy,
who is in command of the united
naval forces of the powers, Ito prevent
attacks by the Greek forces upon those
places. The provinces named are re-
ported to have become less disturbed,
and affairs are returning more nearly
to their normal condition. Col. Vassos,
commanding the Greek corps of occu-
patton, it is said, made no opposition
to the landing of the marines, from the
warships.
Prince Nicholas of Greece, in COM
mand of a battery of field artillery,
started to-day for the Thessalian
frontier. Large crowds of people
gathered to witness the departure of
the troops and gave the soldiers and
their commander an ovation as they
started on their journey.
Not Deferred by the Threats of the
Powers.
ATHENS, teO. l9.-1ne nOn-cOncur-
renee of the Powers in Greece's action
in Crete does not appear to have had
the deterrent effect that was antici-
pated, and Greece is going ahead as
though she had the full consent of the
Powers to her annexation of the ISL
and.
Col Vassos, the aide-de-camp of the
king. who is in command of the Greek
troops in Crete, is already forming
local administration in the name of
the king of the Hellenes. He is max
ing preparations for the holding of
municipal elections and he will install
mayors in all the towns and villages
that are not occupied by the forces of
the foreign powers.
1t is stated that Prince Nicholas, the
third son of King George, will not go
with the troops to the Thessalian
frontier, as it was stated yesterday he
would, but that he will join the forces
in Crete.
All the Greek consulates in the ISL
and have lowered their flags, it being
considered by the consuls that as
Crete is now Greek territory their
duties have ended.
1t is stated here tonight that the
Greek war ship Hydra, which was
conveying provisions to the Greeks,
was stopped by the British and Italian
torpedo boats.
