ATHENS, February 19.-The proposals
OF some of the European Powers to take
coercive measures against Greece to en-
force their prohibition of Greek action
in Crete have aroused fierce public re-
sentiment throughout the Kingdom. and
popular demands that the government
resist the action of the Powers at any
cost are being made in all quarters. The
government, backed by the unanimous
sentiment of the people, still insists
that the Greek flotilla in Cretan waters
shall be allowed to act in accordance
with the purposes for which the vessels
were sent. II the European squadrons
should prevent Greece from acting
against the Turks by sea revolution in
Macedonia and Epirus is certain to fol-
low. The attitude assumed by the Lib
erals in the British Parliament in regard
to Crete is hailed with great enthusiasm
here. Greece has relied and still relies
upon an upheaval of the free peoples
everywhere in her behalf. and this feel
ing of confidence in the sympathy Of
Europe generally goes far towards ex-
planning the defiant course she has
taken.

THE entire afternoon of Friday was
passed by the Senate in secret session
on the arbitration treaty. but without
result. The session continued until after
Z o'clock, with the treaty still pending.
The proceedings began with a discus
sion of motion offered by Senator Nell
son for the postponement, and was con-
tinued during the greater part of the
afternoon. Senator Sherman pleaded
for vote on the treaty. and Senators
Pratt and Lodge also spoke for prompt
action. Senator Teller was one OF the
most earnest opponents of action. He
did not consider that the main features
of the treaty had been discussed, and
said this discussion could not be COM
pleted in day or two. He then pro-
ceeded to discuss the treaty at great
length on its merits. The discussion
was continued by other Senators until
late hour. when it became apparent that
the opposition would not permit vote
and Senator Sherman reluctantly yield
ed to the request of Senators for an ad-
journment. There seems to be little
hope for ratification.

FIRE was opened on the Cretan in
surgent camp at Canea by the warships
of the allied Powers. This action in fir
ing upon the Cretan Christians brought
on vigorous attack on the government
in the House of Commons on Monday.
The government was sustained by vote
of 243 to 125. 1t lis to be noted, however,
that this result shows only 1868 votes out
Of total membership of 670, and that
the governments normal majority Of
over $50 was cut down to majority of
only 11S among those present. Mr.. Cur
zon asserted that the Greek troops in
Crete had only increased the anarchy
there, and denied that the warships had
attacked the Greeks. Mr.. Balfour said
the Powers were doing everything to
avert war. Mr.. Goschen said the gov.
eminent was doing it's best to hold an
even scale between the Christians and
Mussulmans in Crete.

The fusillade of the British. Italian,
German and Russian guns upon the
camp of the insurgents or patriots at
Canea must not be taken for more than
it is worth. 1t is not necessarily indie
alive of any concerted or individual pur-
pose to prevent the achievement of Gre
tan independence. 1t may be doubted
if any European monarch, the German
Emperor. perhaps, excepted, is at heart
inclined to interfere on behalf of the un-
speakable Turk, and his suggestion has
not met with respectful attention from
the other Powers.
The FIRE of the artillery of the four
great Powers was directed upon a de.
tachment that had occupied one Of the
three positions concerning which the
four Powers had given notice of intent
to protect. There is as yet no good cause
to believe that an allied movement will
be made in support of the Turks.

THE kindergarten, which in this coun.
try is the growth of the last twenty
years, says the New York Tribune, is at
length to be recognized in the general
school law of that State. One of the
amendments to the law included in
bill recently introduced authorizes any
school district in the State to establish a
free kindergarten which children four
years old and upward may attend, being
counted as part of the attendance &C.
cording to which the public school mon
ey is apportioned. This indication of
educational progress will be most appre-
ciated by those most cognizant of the
value of kindergarten training for young
children. Though not yet ripe, the time
will come when kindergartens for the
little ones will be deemed as essential as
primary and grammar schools for those
more advanced.

MONDAY. Washington's birthday, was

Chicago. and more than usually so by
the Chicago exchanges. At the board

except for small group of traders.
Many of the large offices were not open.
Even the private wire houses could not
start up any communication with other
centers. Early in the day New York
wired that the ticker service had given
up getting any news. About the only
thing which came from the outside was
the Liverpool cablegram. This quoted
wheat futures steady to I'D higher by
the first message, and later advices said
the little gain in the English markets
was lost, leaving the situation un-
changed. AS for the curb market here
it was claimed that trades we're made at
7615@764c, and later held at 1890 for
May, which was the closing price last
Saturday. Puts for today were quoted
around 1890 to 754c, and calls around
781s@7sAc.
