So long as rebellion against the authority
Of the Porte was confined to Crete, the
problem seemed simple; but it is now said
that there are insurrectionary movements
in other islends subject to Turkey. The
situation in Chios and Kos Is reported to
be critical, under Greek agitation, and in
some small islands east of Crete the Chris
tian inhabitants are said to have forced the
Turkish authorities to retire.
The situation, in fact, at once suggests a
parallel with that of Spain. As the latter,
in her efforts to subdue Cuba, finds for.
midable rebellion in the Philippines on her
hands, so the Ottoman Empire has not only
Crete and the other islands mentioned, but
menacing disturbances among the Greeks
OF Smyrna, an insurrection in Macedonia
and Armenia still to be watched, while the
possibility Of an outbreak, even in Con-
stantinople itself, is sometimes rumored.
But beyond these primary facts the
parallel suggested fails; for while Spain
must single handed contend with her two
powerful revolts, of which one, at least, has
every promise Of success, Turkey is thus
far backed by the great powers In dealing
with little Greece, which foments revolt
against her everywhere. For this reason
the sporadic outbreaks in the Egcan
islands and on the mainland seem likely to
amount to little, except in the contingency
of quarrel among the great powers and a
general war in the Lgvant.

The Forest Reserves.

Assuming that tho Senate will agree
again, as 1t already once has, to the pro.
vision in the Sundry Civil bill regarding
the new forest reservations, the country
may rely on having thirty of these valu.
able tracts withdrawn from sale in order to
preserve the trees.
Some of the Western Senators who urged
Congress to set aside the last segregation of
these areas, that Of Feb. 22, but were
blocked by the resolute attitude of the
House, profess to believe that President
MCKINLEY will still do this for them, under
the authority glvon to him in the pending
Sundry Civil bill. But the President and
Secretary BLISS may he expected to listen

ry Commission, of which Prof. CHARLES
SPRAGUE SARGENT is Chairman. This body
OF distinguished experts selected the new
reservations with a view to the public in
terests; and while rectifications of lines
may be recommended by them, we may ex-
pect their work, as a whole, to stand.
The act of March 3, 1891, authorized the
President to set apart from entry and sale
forest areas at the head waters Of rivers In
the Western Territories and States. Under
that act President HARRISON segregated in

nor the Senate had originally proposed, at
least provided that, before any mineral
lands should be opened, allotments In
severalty to the Indians should be made.
| The failure Of the allotment scheme, or
rather a lack of agreement with the Indians,
allowed the Interior Department toprevent
mineral land entries under the provision
| thus made by Congress-, and so the matter
has remained until now.
In behalf Of the Senate's plan, it hos been
argued that it Is for the public interest that
these mineral deposits should be used, and
that the simplest way Of reaching that end
is to throw the lands open to entry In the
ordinary way. 1t is further urged that the
charge that companies will unite to get
possession Of the lands is disposed of by the
provision that "no one person shall be al
lowed to make more than four claims" on
the asphalt lands. But to this the reply Is
that subterfuge would be easy under ar
rangements for adjoining entries and sub
sequent transfers.
Such, in brief, is statement of the mat
ter as 1t stands. The conference amend
ment, as agreed to, was in these words;
THAT tho mineral lands OF the UncompahRro Ind.
ian Reservation In the State OF Utah are hereby
declared open to public entry under the mnerai.land
laws OF the United States and person shall be
allowed to make moro than Ave claims on lands con.
tanning gilsonite; and and after jan /, 1885, all
OF said reservation unallotted to Indians shall be open
to public entry under the land laws of the United
States"
This is the item to which the House has
refused assent, under circumstances 30
exceptional as to give 1t more than ordi-
nary public interest. 1t now remains to be
seen whether the Senate will make the
desired concession to the House.
There were other amendments fastened
upon the Indian bill by the Senate which
the House at first resented. One relat-
ed to allowing the fees of the attor-
neys for managing the claims of the
Old Settlers or Western Cherokees against
the Government The House insisted on
this, but at length agreed to reduced fees,
and that compromise stands. Others
changed the Jurisdiction of courts In the
Indian Territory, and in various ways
exerted pressure to compel the Five Tribes
to adopt the plans which the Dawes Com
mission has drawn up for them. But the
compromises reached in conference on these
amendments are also not disturbed.

ment for "squeesing," and promises have
been repeatedly made by the Pekin authori.
ties that, when peace should be restored,
and the finances of the country should re-
cover their pristine equilibrium, the likin
should be abolished. The conditions prece.
dent to such an abolition, however, are not
yet forthcoming.
1t should be further noted that when the
Chinese Government decided upon continu.
ing the short line Of railway constructed
between the Kaiping collerles and Tientsin
q requisitlon was made, first, on the four
northern provinces, and, subsequently, on
sixteen out Of the eighteen provinces, to
forward the sum Of $4,000 taels each per
annum as railway fund. This would have
amounted to 500, 900 taels, or about $685..
500, per annum, had each province re-
sponded. So far as the printed reports show,
at least ten Of the provinces have annually
remitted the sum required. Presumably,
this money constitutes the fund from which
is to be built the line between Tientsin and
the capital, as we'll as the projected exten.
sion into Manchuria. 1t ought to allow Of
work being pushed ct the rate Of thirty or
forty miles year. The larger railway
systems, which are now being proposed,
cannot, Of course, be constructed with this
small special fund, and attempts are being
made to finance them with loans and con-
cessions.
On the whole, Mr.. JAMIEsoN's conclusion
is that survey Of the revenue and expen-
diture Of the Chinese empire shows that its
vast resources are only drawn upon at the
present time to a very small degree, and
that their development will open up great
possibilities for Its immense population.

THE ANTI-TRUsT LAW.
Its Legal soundness and the Commercial Ahir
That Must Follow.

That Must Follow.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: After read
ing the opinions in the Federal Supreme Court
upon the application Of the Sherman Anti Trust
law to railroads, the impartial mind must con.
clude that tho opinion OF the majority, rcpre-
scntcd by Judge Peckham. is sound under the
law, and that"th dissenting opinion of Justice
White is legally unsound.
Tho trouble is in the fool law. Justice Peck.
hams logic in intcrpretating the words of the
statute Is renorselessly solid, despite tho trog.
lodyte-Populist and extra-judlcial sentimental.
ity which accompanies his reasoning.
The question hangs ON what is meant by "re-
stralnt of trade" and on this point Judge Peck
ham makes himself very clear. ANY combina-
tion which. by mechanical improvement and
superior business ability, can drive a compet.to
out OF business Is In restraint OF trado. 1T is
immaterial.' says Judge Peckham, that tho
price OF an article may be lowered. It Is in the
power OF q combination to raise It," The Sugar
Trust has chcapencd sugar so that tho trade in
sugar has multiplied enormously, but, as some
sugar-making firms have disappeared, 1t is in
restraint OF trade. That phrase really means
restraint Of traders" II is waste OF time TO
speculate where this decision. unqucstionably
sound under tho law. will load us in respect OF
invention, cooperation. partnership, and i'm
provement generally.
The several able Judges who, In considering
this railroad case, have taken tho Wow opposed
TO Judge Peckham's. have strlvcn desperate ely
toprevent the reduction OF the law to absurdity; :;
yet the dreaded absurdity Ia tho law. 1t is the
logical result OF the whirlwlnd of demagogic
folly which has swept tho Federal Government,
State Governments, and political parties into
legislation which the principles OF human prog
ress show to be opposed to reason.

Greek Patriots Homeward Bound.

There is something very suggestive In the
departure Of PETER SocRATEs, PHAsoN-
LARIDEs, SEGEILEs, and about $50 Of their
comrades from this port for Greece. The
direct addition thus made to King GEORGES
forces in arms may not be great, although
about hundred more men are to go, It is
said, this week; but the moral effect Of this
display Of the love Of native land may be
felt far and wide.
Perhaps no country in the world 10 more
deeply inspired by patriotism. none more
moved by the heroic deeds of IN ancestry of
which it desires to prove worthy, than
Greece. The memories of Marathon and
Thermopylp are constantly with her as
vital influences, while the heroic struggles
Of 1921 and subsequent years stir the
grandsons of the Greek patriots of that
day not only with gratitude, but with the
desire to emulate their achievements.
The spectacle Of this little kingdom defy
ing Europe in arms would indeed be unac-
countable, without the clue furnished by
the burning love of country that animates
her people, and their faith in manifest
destiny" not surpassed even by the Ameri-
cans They hardly stop short OF CONSTANT
nople. and the revival of the empire once
there established, in their dreams Of the
Greek future, and, although the also glow.
ing and far more rcsourceful ambitions Of
Russia may check them in that direction,
yet 1t is easy to see that people thus in
spired forms force not to be ignored.
1t Is another trait Of the Greeks of our
time that wherever they wander they do
not lose this affection for their native soil,
and their ardent wishes for its welfare. 1t
is witnessed not only among Greeks under
Turkish rule in Asia Minor and in the
Ottoman capital itself, but here, with the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean between
them and the old home. or this fact the
present movement and the movements to
follow are illustrations.
When 1t was at first announced that King
GEORGES Government expected Greeks to
return and 6shG for their country, this
seemed almost folly, and at any rate
sacrifice too great to ask. The thought
suggested itself that since no nation can
expect in these days to carry on struggle
simply with Its first fighting line, and on
its first call to arms, but must have some.
thing in reserve, the Greeks scattered In dis.
tant lands might we'll have been left for the
second or reserve line summons. But the
plucky little kingdom seems determined to
throw everything available into the field,
stalking all on one hazard.
BE this as it may, the Greeks of America
have not been slow to respond to the call,
and, numerically small as is the force they
can contribute, the display of devotion, es-
pecially since they must feel that the great
unlocking nations will, after all, decide the
conflict, commands respect
