HoNoRs 70 PENRoSE.
Pennsylvania's Junisr Senator Banqueted
In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2.-The banquet
to United States Senator Boies PEN
rose at Horticultural hall last night
was brilliant success. There were
nearly 600 diners. Every county In the
slate was represented, and all the pro-
fessions in the men around the table.
The event was under the auspices of
the State League of Republican clubs,
and the president of the league. Isador
Sobel, occupied the chair.
The only untoward circumstance
was the absence Of Senator Quay. The
senior senator is a member of the SEN
ate appropriations committee. and as
appropriation bills were the order of
business at Washington last night he
had to stay there.
The dinner was opened with prayer
by Rev. j. Gray Bolton, d. ID. When
tie coffee was reached President Sobel
introduced Mr.. Penrose, and he made a
speech outlining his proposed course in
congress. Other speakers were Con-
gressmen John 3. Robinson. William
A. Stone, Robert Adams. Jr., and
J. d. Hicks, and State Senators Nc
Carroll Goblin and Kennedy.
There were many prominent Demo-
Gratis present, the one who attracted
most attention being, of course, Will
lam T. Harrity. The banquet was not
over until long after midnight. Con-
sidering the great attendance, the BAN
Quet was the most successful ever
given in Philadelphia.

THE TROUBLES IN CRETE.
fhe Greek Government Anxious to Avoid
Desperate Methods,

desperate Methods,
London, Feb. G.--A dispatch from
Athens says that the collective note
was still undelivered yesterday. Only
the Austrian, German and Russian
ministers have received instructions.
1t Is rumored that one power has
withdrawn from the concert.
The Times Athens correspondent
telegraphs: Prime Minister Delyan-
mis-, in an interview, assured me that
the decision OF the government to
maintain the army in Crete was irre-
vocable. On the other hand, Greece
had no intention of DECLARING war
against Turkey. Such a step would
only be taken II the Turks invade
Thesssly or the great powers render
the position of the Greek army in
Crete intolerable. There was no in
tention Of invading Macedonia. Greece
was not desirous Of embroiling Europe
In general war. No understanding
exists between Greece and Bulgaria in
regard to Macedonia.
THE calmness of moderation Of
Premier Delyannis impressed me most
favorably. He is evidently averse to
desperate measures. l do not believe
in the end he would reject any solu-
tion which Greece could honorably ac-
cept but neither he nor the king could
restrain the wild excitement of the
p0pulace. Nothing could be more I'M
wise than for the powers to drive the
Greeks to desperation"
