The Situation Regarded as Very Serious
-Austria's Aggressive Proposal.
ST.. PETERSBURG, March 29.-In high
official quarters here much annoyance
is felt at the signs of the vacil-
lating policy shown by the powers
at moment when the greatest
firmness is necessary. The feeling
here is that the other powers are try
ing to place Russia in the undesirable
position of allowing the shedding of
Christian blood The Otgoloski pub
fishes very strong article on the
subject and thinks England is going
to establish herself in Crete and as
Crete is not what the Dardanelles is to
Russia, the latter would not go to war
about it.
In diplomatic circles the position is
looked upon as very embroiled and the
only solution that if the Greeks insist
on fighting they should be allowed to
go on and be beaten. 1t is considered
that after all the center of interest is
entirely concentrated on what is TAX
ing place on the Greco I urkish from

LONDON, March 27.-A dispatch to

Corinth and Arta, England, having
abandoned the condition that Turkey
and Greece must be asked to with
draw their troops from the Thessalian

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
BY SAILORS.
ACCUSED BY OAKES CREW.
nePS on Half Rations Most OF the 259
Days Out From Hong Kong, While
Captain Reed Was Living on
Chickens and other Good
Things-He Is to BE
Prosecuted.

New YORK, March 29.-The survivors
OF the crew of the clipper ship T. F.
Oakes, which was towed here 259 days
out from Hong Kong, allege that Cap
tain Reed is directly responsible for
the illness of all but two of the crew;
that they were kept on half ratiops
during the greater part of the trip and
that the vessel could have made New
York much sooner if the captain had
taken advantage of favorable con-
ditions which prevailed much of the
nine months they were on the water.
I'VE have not decided just what
charges we shall prefer against Cap
tain Reed" said James II. Williams,
secretary of the Seaman's union, but
we shall make the most serious charge
against him that we can sustain by the
evidence
Joseph Robinson made the statement
which will be used by the Seamen's
union and the eleven other survivors
who are with him in the Marine hos
pltal will subscribe to it. Several were
able to sign their names with difficulty
and one is still so weak that it is a
question whether he will recover.
VIC were IOrceO 10 complain about
our food before we had been
week out from Hong Kong"
said Robinson, land the entire crew
went to Captain Reed July only to
be refused better provisions. Our
condition became such that by the end
of July we determined to make an
other demand and again the entire
crew complained. From July 81 to
September - there was an improve
ment, but on the latter date we were
all placed on half rations and so con-
tinued to the end. The captain did
not supply the ship with enough pro-
visions before leaving Hong Kong.
While the men in the crew were
growing weak from lack of proper
food, the captain was living on chick
ems and other good things. He had
two crates we'll filed with chickens
when we left port, and when the
Oakes got into New York several
chickens were still left. If the cap
tain had killed them and made soup
for the crew, even giving it to us but
once week, the men would have been
able to retain their strength instead of
coming in ill and helpless. We were
SO weak from hunger that often mem
bers of the crew had to grab hold of
the ratings to keep from falling

CIVIL SERVICE DEFENDED.
President Proctor Welcomes the Fullest
Kind of An Inyestfpation


WASHINGTON, March 29.-Mr. Proc
tor, president of the civil service COM
mission, speaking to-day of the pro-
posed investigation of its methods,
said: 1--WE will welcome the investi-
CATION, for it is not facts but misstate-
ments regarding the methods of the
commission that tend to hold it up to
ridicule before the public. W'--n the
facts are known, it will be four that
the commissions methods i've been
such as are calculated to prorrote the
good of the service. Take the criti-
cisms of the commission that were
made in the Senate the other day, when
the Allen resolution was under consid-
GRAFTON. One thing is fortunate, and
that is every act of the commission is
a matter of record. Senator Allen
wanted an investigation of the alleged
political removals from the govern
ment service at South Omaha Here
is our minute book and it shows that
seven days before the introduction of
that resolution the commission ordered
an investigation of those charges One
after another of the charges made
about the management of the commits
sion can be readily answered by a
reference to the records, and an in
vestigation will tend, 1 think, to do
the commission much good. 1t will be
found that our system of examinations
is practical. and calculated to discover
the fitness of the applicant for the
place sought, and not inclined to call
for the mere literary ability"

The Swiss government is governed
absolutely by the people, through di-
rect legislation, and is more socialis-
tic than any other on earth. Notwith-
standing this awful fact, scarcely
ever is commission or arbitration
board formed to settle the disputes be-
tween large nations but that some
official of Switzerland is asked to act
thereon. Often the sole referee in i'm
portant questions is the president of
the mountain repub bile, and the honest
ty of these decisions is above question.
AS human beings there is, perhaps, no
great difference between the Swiss
and other nationalties, except that
they enjoy good political and a COM
paratively just economic system,
which conducea to honesty. The ne
cessity of greed and covetousness
eliminated, no man or nation will take

Public Officers Salaries.

agricultural contemporary strikes
a good note when it says that the times
demand reduction in salaries of pub
lie officers, as we'll as of the fees charp-
ed by professional men. To the OBJ
server who has watched the trend of
our every day affairs, local and ma
tional, it is evident that prices in all
markets and for all commodities are
taking downward turn. There is,
too, an almost general agreement that
with such occasional fluctuations for
certain productions as may be caused
by an increased or diminished supply
thereof. This decline is not to be won
dered at, considering the marvelously
increased power of production brought
about during the past few years; and
this remark applies not only to the me-
chanical changes by which one man
now does the work formerly done by
three or even more, but to the fact that
transportation facilities have annihi-
lated time and space that the
market quotation for any one commo-
dity are practically the same the
world over. But one class has had
more than its fair share of this diminu-
alton of values. While nearly al
classes have felt the effects of the
shrinkage, none have experienced it to
such an extent as the farmer. Wages
have been cut, and labor has hat. scant
employment, but the farmer, with his
hands as full of work as ever, has ac-
tually produced many of his crops at a
loss-has had really nothing for his
services. Farmers, members of the
state legislature, must often draw con-
trasts unfavorable to their own condi-
tion when asked to vote for the ap-
pointment of new officials at salaries
sadly disproportionate to their own in
comes, or to increase the pay of officers
already appointed. Speaking generally
the pay of public officials is out of all
proportion to the hours worked and
labor performed, as compared with
men of similar attachments and uuali-
fications in the employ of private indl-
viduals or firms The remedy for
much of this overpaid, underworked
oficialism lies with our state legisla-
lures, who should resent all attempts
to create new offices, and all increase
of present salaries. The times are too
stringent to admit of any further lib
erality in these matters. Public bodies
should be "sust before they are gen.
erouss and generosity with public
funds is decidedly out place just now.
