POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

How the Trouble I'm Crete Can BE Speedily
Ended in q Way Honorable to All Par
ties-Turkish Evacuation and Withdrawal
of Greek Army From the Frontier,tO BE
Followed by Joint Greclan and European
Occupation of Crete.
LONDON, April 5.-The Times pub
fishes the following dispatch from its
Athens correspondents:
THE crux of the situation is the
presence of Col. Vassos and his army in
Crete. The powers insist on with
drawal, but neither King George nor
the government cares to comply. 1t is
believed, however, that the difficulty
may be surmounted in the following
way:
1.-THE first step would be the with
drawal of the Turkish forces from
Crete. This would not only remove
the suspicious of the Cretans, but
would make it possible for Col. Vassos
and the army to return from Crete
with a certain amount of prestige.
The prior retirement of the Turkish
army would be less offensive to tn.
sultan's amour propre than the stimuli
taneous withdrawal of both armies, in
asmuch as he has intrusted Crete to
the powers, and the arrangement to be
reached would be one concerning him
and them exclusively.
1.-THE order for the recall of the
Greek army from the frontier would
Immediately follow. Greece having
thus abandoned her contumacious at
titude, the powers might intrust her
with mandate to occupy Crete in the
name of the sultan, as when Austria
received mandate from Europe to oc-
cupy Bosnia and Herzegovina.
THUS legally empowered, Greece
could send another army under another
commander to Crete to occupy the in
terror of the island, while the interna-
tional occupation of the seaports might
continue until measures had been taken
for the repatriation, or, possibly, the
partial emigration, of the Mohammedan
refugees. Eventually the Greek occupa-
ton would become general, the powers
having in the meantime decided upon
the form of the new constitution, with
such guarantees as might be demanded
by Europe for the protection of the
Mahommedan minority which would
be readily accorded by Greece"

Failures for the First Three Months OF the
Year-The Markets are Stin Waiting. with

for Products Variable and Uncertain-1ron
and Steel.
NEW YORK, April 3.-R- G. Dun 81
Co.. in their weekly review of trade to-
day say:
Failures reported to-day for the first
quarter of 1897 number 1892, against
4,031 last year. with liabilities of S4S.-
007, gil, against S57, 425. 135 last year.
The markets are still waiting, some
sagging downward and others reeoy-
ering. There is much disposition 20
use the decision of the supreme court
against railroad combinations as an
instrument for depressing stocks, and
yet buying has prevented a decline ex-
ceeding 81 per share, and for trust
stocks 20 cents per share.
The reports of railroad earnings for
the quarter have been somewhat en-
couraging, the aggregate having been
on roads. within the United States only
80 per cent. smaller than last year,
rather more favorable than those for
january or F0DrudTy.
The vote of the house in favor of a
new tariff bill has made no impression
in business, since it has been expected
since November that some measure of
the same general character would be-
come law. II the bill stands, with
its provision making new duties APP
plicable April 1, the chances are that
foreign imports and treasury receipts
may be for a time considerably re-
stricted.
The market for products has been
variable and uncertain.
The iron and steel industry has been
staggered, so to speak, by the decision
of the supreme court affecting rail-
roads, since tits apprehended that pur-
chases not only of rails, but of cars, To-
connective and bridge metals may be af-
fected. The demand for rails is still
considerable, and one order is pending
for 10000 tons for Japan, but the re-
duction in Mesaba ore, with the want
of agreement as yet among producers
of hard ores, tends to encourage the
belief in lower prices for fin.
ished products, and so to hinder
buying. The great struggle between
the reproducing companies of Mesaba
has not yet so far developed that any
body can feel confident as to the future
cost of iron. Meanwhile, with pig &C.
cumulating, although some furnaces
have stopped production, the price OF
Bessemer at Pittsburgh is a shade
lower at $10.25, and gray forge at 50,
but there are no quotable changes in
prices of finished products although
the tone is rather weak. The new
combination in cut nails only affects
selling prices in eastern markets.

THE RUSSIAN VIEW

Greece Responsible for All the Trouble IN
Crete. and Grecians Must Suxer ~ shc
Horrors of War Are Precipitated by Her
Obssinacy-The Powers VIII Not Consen'
That She Derive ANY Advantage.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 5.-The Jour
nal de St. Petersburg" (semi-ofhcla-
says:
1.-THE aggressive and provocative at
titude that Greece maintains with sucn.
deplorable obstinacy compels the pow
ers TO blockade the Gulf OF Athens.
Greece, by keeping Col. Vassos in Crete
is exposing the Cretans to all the dis
advantages of blockade there she
illustrates the restoration of peace,
she prevents the powers from
learning the real wishes or
the inhabitants of Crete, which
can only be ascertained by the
powers after the removal of an inter
ested pressure. The reports OF the
consuls in Greece, and of the admirals-
of the international fleets show the
utter impossibility at the present mo-
ment of communicating directly with
the Cretans, who are subjected to the
overwhelming influence of the Greek
detachment in the island.
''Col. VaSsos has practically declared
war against the powers.
Moreover, certain extravagant and
habitcal fomenters of disorder hyster--
ically advocate declaration of war by
Greece against Turkey on the 9th OF
April, or on the date when blockade
of Greece commences.
1--WE refuse to believe that any such
extraordinary act of folly will be COM
mitted, but in the event of 1t happen
ing. Greece will certainly, have to en-
dure the most serious consequences
If Greece wishes war at any price, she
can count on the support of no one,
whatever the result may be of con-
fiict SO wantonly provoked. The
powers will never consent to the ag-
gressors deriving the slightest advan-
tage from victory in such a struggle.
After the powers have exhausted
ali possible means at their disposal to
spare Greece the sufferings she has
drawn upon herself, they are not bound
to disturb themselves further. Their
complete agreement is the surest guar
antee of the final victory of order,
right and fairness, and the pledge Tor
the maintenance of the general peace
of Europe, even in the event of partial
disturbances, created by Greece, which
the powers will know how to localize
and, if necessary, to suppress"

NEVER so DULL BEFORE.
Some Reasons why Railroad Business Haa
Fallen on.

CHICAGO, April 2.-Rai1road men
claim that business was never as dull
as at present, and they ascribe the
lack of traffic partly to the decision of
the supreme court. They say that mer-
chants are afraid of the stability of rates
and are making no purchases for fear
competitors will get reduced rates and
undersell them. The bad condition of
the roads, preventing farmers from
bringing their product to market, is
also given as cause of the stagnation.
A close traffic arrangement has been
made between the Oregon Short Line
and the Union Pacific, which will
make the latter as much a monopoly as
ever in regard to the north Paci6
coast business via the Missouri river.
The agreement reached at general
conference of officials of these roads
practically makes them one great
transcontinental system as far as the
business of transportation is con.
