been falling since noon without any signs
of cessation. Almost all the wagon brides
are gone and the three new iron suspension

threatened with destruction, as the drift
wood piled up is a half mile long in some
places and has greatly weakened the pill

the reply of Greece TO the powers. con-
siders that she advances no convincing ar
gument why they should not execute their
threats of coescion. The Daily News thinks
that the reply furnishes a reasonable
basis for further negotiations.
1t is stated that Admiral Canevaro. of
the Italian fleet. in command of the COM
bined squadrons, proposed as a first step,
in the event of negative reply from
Greece, that al the powers should recall
their ministers from Athens. Probably it
will be decided to enforce a peaceful
blockade applying only to vessels under
the Greek flag. These would not be
fiscated but detained only until the block
ade was raised. Much is hoped in the way
of u solution of the difficulty from Lord
Salisbury's visit to the Queen and the in
fluence of the royal family and his rela-
tions upon King George. On receipt of the
Greek reply a Cabinet council was imme-
diately held. after which the Marquis of
Salisbury went 10 Windsor in order TO con-
suit the Queen There was scene of great
asimation at the Foreign Office Nearly

The reply of Greece is regarded in Off
cial circles here as being of a most favora-
bile nature and it is believed that the crisis
will now soon be ended as the Greek note
at least furnishes a basis upon which a
compromise satisfactory to all concerned
can be speedily reached. The Stock Ex-
change here and the bourses of the conti-
nent reflect the confident feeling and con-
tinue buoyant.
Parliamentary papers have been issued
containing the full text of the notes of the
powers to Turkey and Greece. The first
note to Turkey made no mention of the
withdrawal of Turkish troops from Crete.
but the second explained that the scheme
of autonomy implied a progressive reduc-
ton of the Ottoman forces in the island.
and that, therefore. after the Hellenic
evacuation, the Turkish troops must be
withdrawn 10 the occupied towns.
Replying in the House of Commons yes
terday to a question from Mr. James Bryce.
Liberal member for the South division OF
Aberdeen. the parliamentary secretary for
the Foreign Office Mr. George y. Curzon,
said the powers had not decided whether
the Governor of Crete, under the autono-
NOUS regime would be Christian and ir-
removable by the Sultan.
