Canton, O., Feb. 11.-Major McKin-
ley shook hands with four score or
more office-seekers to-day and found
time to dictate number of letters and
to talk to an old friend or two. w. H.
Elliott, a newspaper man from Newcas-
tie. Ind, formerly in the navy and a
graduate of the naval academy, called
to present his application for the posi-
ton of assistant secretary of the navy.
The president-elect gave him a care
full hearing and requested him to con-
fer with Ex-Governor John D. Long of
Massachusetts, about the matter, which
seems to prove conclusively that Mr..
Long has been definitely settled upon
for the position of secretary of the
navy 1t was also learned by Mr..
Elliott that Theodore Roosevelt is a
candidate for the position of assistant
secretary of the navy and that no
promises have been made to him.
w. F.. Rockwell of Meriden, Conn,
was one of Major McKinley's callers
to-day. He had some kind words to
say about James A. Gary of Baltimore,
Nd, and is of the opinion he would
made an excellent postmaster general
or secretary of the navy. Mr.. Rockwell
also discussed the metal schedules pro-
posed for the new tariff bill

president that the five-minute limit
was up Mr.. Mansfield sat down, say
ing that this was another example Of
the bigotry that had always character
lied the church.
BY vote of the meeting Mr.. Mansfield
was allowed to continue, which he did,
winding UP with a neat little perora-
ton favoring the principles of social
ism.
Myer Stodel, a genial leader of the
local socialist labor party, did not see
how religion had been of any especial
advantage to society, though he con-
fessed that he had never been in a
church, at least not for some time, The
church did not do, its duty to the poor,
and as proof this he cited the case
of woman who was turned away from
the Organized Charities and the aims
house and into the street.
This called S. O. Preston, agent of
the Organized Charities, to his feet
with an explanation that the woman
named was dissolute character, able
to take care of herself, and she had
been supported by the Organized Char
tiles for some time before she was told
to go.
Mr.. Hunter wanted justice done, and
prayed fervently that all charity might
be done away with.
Mr.. Flentje, a gentleman evidently of
wide reading, exhorted against so much
serving of mammon among the clergy,
and that the truth should be preached.
Rev. DR.. McLane asked the privilege
of closing, and said, in reply to the de-
nunciations against the church, that he
did not know Of any other organization
that worked for charity like the church.
'The only individual who has offered
to assist me was bibulous man, who
asked me the way to place. | direct
ed him to follow straight down the
street and not to turn. He was so fill
ed with gratitude that he took my
hand, asked my name and said, If you
ever run for governor l will vote for
you, and I will stir UP all h to vote
for you, too
A socialist labor man, name unknown,
wound up the meeting with an appeal
for the principles of that body.

IMMEDIATE BLOCKADE
Powers Reach a Definite Agree
ment Regarding Their
Policy in Crete.
Will Not Reply to the Note OF
Greece but Close Cretan
Ports at Once.
The Move a Distinct Con-
Cession to Both Russia
and France.

ROME, March l5.-It is officially an.
nounced here that the result of the
pour parleurs Of the powers is defin.
ite agreement not to reply to the Greek
note, but to issue orders to the foreign
admirals to establish AN immediate
blockade Of Cretan ports. This agree.
ment is somewhat in the nature of a
concession to Russia and France. Rus
STA, during the middle of last week
proposed, with France seconding
the proposition, another joint note
to Greece, insisting on the with
drawal Of the troops, instead of an
immediate resort by the powers to
force. Russia's action was inspired, it
is officially stated, by a certain sympa-
thy for Greece; but so many objections
were raised by each power in turn to
the suggestion that the course has
been finally decided upon. 1t is thought
that the simplest way to carry out the
threat made in the identical note will
be the blockading of. the Cretan ports
and the landing of forces sufficient to
insure the maintenance Of order, leav-
ing future action as to the fate Of Crete
to later negotiations.

DON'T NEED GREecE1 AID.

Russian Comment ON tho Pacifcation of
Crete.
ST.. PETERSBURG, March 15.-The Of
fetal St. Petersburg Journal says: 1--WE
recently stated the reasons which de-
termined the attitude of the imperial
government as to the Cretan situation.
Unfortunately. they do not seem ade-
quately recognized at Athens. HUI
manitarian motives actuate the powers
more than any other consideration, as
has been shown by the action of the
powers toward the Hellenic govern.
ment. The Greek note in reply to the
powers endeavors, in spite of the prac-
teal utility of a system of autonomy
for Crete, to prove that annexation to
Greece will alone end a state of an
archy. While consenting to recall her
ships, Greece persists that the Coop
Grafton of her troops is necessary to the
pacification Of the island, after which
q plebiscite should decide the fate of
Crete. -. '.a a.a
t,xs&Gresos Should Acquiesce.
''Such an attitude is unsatisfactory.
TAep0wers had not in the present case
to consult the opinion of the Greek
government. They simply expressed
to Athens in succinct terms the decision
imposed by circumstances, whereunto
it was for Greece to conform. In re-
fusiug to heed this decision, Greece
gives clear proof that under a pretext
OF assuring a condition of peace and
order in Crete, she is really pursuing a
much less disinterested object, namely,
annexation by surprise.
1.-The powers are too unanimously re-
solved to maintain peace in the East
to sanction such designs. They find
themselves compelled, though much
against their will, to have recourse to
vigorous measures which they shrink
from adopting in regard to Greece. At
the same time they will have in the re-
sources at their disposal a sure means
Of pacifying Crete without the CO.
operation of the Greek troops"
