MIR. WOLCOTT-S NOMINATION.
1t Was a Surprise to Delaware Demo
Gratis.


The nomination. by President Cleveland
of James l.. Wolcott for Judge of the United
States district court of Delaware came as a.
politicians.
There were many who thought that Sen
ator Gray would accept the position. but
those who were in a position to know said
from the first that he would not give I'D his
large law practice for position on the
bench.
Ii is known that the position was Of
fered to him. and that he refused it. The
naming of Wolcott is not displeasing to
the republicans, they think that the
Senate may not confirm the appointment,
1t was said all along that Senator Gray
was the only man the Senate would con-
firm, and for this reason the democratic
leaders urged him to accept the place
The democrats do not want another repuD-
lcan to occupy a seat on the bench and
they felt that the appointment of the SEN
ator would be the only thing that would
avert this.
The most disappointed man is said 10 be
Willard Salisbury. He felt sure that tine
position would be offered TO Senator Gray
and that he would accept it. Had this
come about NJ. Salisbury would probably
have been the choice of the Legislature TO
succeed Senator Gray in the Senate
Mr.. Wolcott was born in the lower part
of Kent county, February 4, 1S42. He is
a self-made man, and in his youth struy-
gied along as best he could. getting his
education in the public schools. He was
admitted TO the bar in 1861, having read
law under Eli Salisbury. He was
tary of state in 1873 ana in 1S.3 was ap-
pointed chancellor by Governor Reynolds.
He resigned in two years. For many years
past he has been leader of the Kent
county bar, with the exception of The brief
period when he was chancellor. He is the
recognized leader of the democratic party
in Kent county. At present he is one of the
counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad

Describing the fighting al Fort Voukolies,
the Canea correspondent of the Daily News
says:
THE Cretans suffered heavily by their
own fault. They disregarded an order to
withhold musketry fire until the work of
the artillery had been completed. They
wasted $1,000 cartridges, and lost thirty
men. maintaining a furious and foolish fire.
advancing to within 100 yards of the re-
doubts, while the Turks fired splendidly
wasting few bullets. The CretanS were
obliged to send to Platania for more am
munition, which arrived on Thursday night,
with four guns. The Cretans at this time
surrounding the fort disobeyed orders and
dispersed In search of food. the Turks
profi;nS by the position evacuated by the
Cretans.
On Friday morning the guns had been
placed in position, and they were about to
resume bombarding, the troops were
prised to see the Cretans plant flag upon
the deserted fort. Thirty-two dead Turks
were found inside the Qualifications, which
Were blown up by dynamite. The Greek
troops were all young men. Never before
had they been under fire, and they displayed
coolness, courage and enthusiasm. The
Greeks took ten Turkish soldiers prisoners"
Safe Conducts Refused.
A dispatch to the Times from Canea
says:
king George ordered Col. Vassos to
oner sale conduct TO Cauea for all Turkish
garrisons besieged by Christians. Col Vas
SOS made the offer to the Voukolies garri-
son. The troops at the garrison refused to
leave without arms, and the fertilization.
therefore, was bombarded. But for the
large supplies of provisions which the pow
ers allowed to be landed for the Greeks and
the insurgents at Platania and Akrotori,
their position would have been desperate.
They can now afford to ignore the threat
cf the foreign admrals to stop further sup
plies IL hostilities are resumed"
A dispatch to the Daily News from Ca
nea, dated Sunday, says:
Smart firing was heard today In the
hills to the eastward. The reply of the
Turks was feeble, and it was obvious that
they must abandon their positions If
