FRANCE SEEMS THE BRO|LER Takes the Lead In Stirring Up
 a Strife AMONG THE GREAT POWERS Lord Salisbury Comes Out Fayoring Cretan
 Annexation With Greece.
RUSSIA PROPOSES OPPOSITION
But the Brave Grecians Continue Prepara- tions Despite the Bark of the Wolf. Troops Prevented From Landing
 In Crete-Other News.

Athens, Feb. 19.-The nroposals of some of the European powers to take eoeroive measures against Greece to enforce their prohibition of Greek action in Crete have aroused fierce public resentment through out the kingdom, and popular demands that the government resist the action of the powers at any cost are being made in all quarters. The government backed by unanimous sentiment of the people, still insists that the Greek fotilla in Cretan waters shall be allowed to act in accord anee with the purposes for which the vessels were sent If the European squadrons should prevent Greece from acting against the Turks by sea, revo- lution in Macedonia and Epirus is certain to follow.
 The attitude assumed by the liberals in the British parliament in regard to Crete is hailed with great enthusiasm here. Greece has relied and still relies upon an upheaval of free people everywhere in her behalf, and this feeling of confidence in the sympathy of Europe generally goes far towards explaining the defiant course she has taken.
 The Greek cruiser Spezia, with full oteam up, is lying in the Piraeus awaiting orders to proceed to Cretan waters, and adviees from Macedonia say that all of the principal bridges and roads in that territory are mined in readiness to de- stroy them in order to prevent an ad- vance of the Turks.

ON SHIP AND SHORE.
ceived by Charleston's Officials and Leading Citizens-Puritan In Port

Char1eston, S. C., Feb 19-The festivi- ties in honor of Secretary H. A. Her bert and the navy were continued this morning, lasting throughout the day, and are still in progress in the shape of nav al and military ball rendered by the city to its guests. The committee of citizens headed by Mayor J. Adger Smyth, and made up of the leading men and officials of Charleston, called upon Secretary Her bert, his party and Admiral Bunce, at the Charleston hotel, at 10:30 o'clock this morning. The visitors were then taken out for an extended drive, during the course of which most of the historic points In and about the city were visited At the conclusion of this sightseeing expedition the guests of the city were en- tertained at luncheon a the residence of Maj. George B. Edwards, where they met the distinguished party of citizens The luncheon was scarcely over before Mayor Smyth called officially upon the secretary at the Charleston hotel Car riages were provided, and MT. Herbert, his friends, Admiral Bunce and his per sonal staff were driven to the city hall, where a public reception was held in the council chamber. Secretary Herbert was presented to Chairman John Grmball, of the reception committee, by Mayor Smyth, and MT. Grimball welcomed him to Charleston in short and appropriate address Mr Grimban himself is grad uate of the Naval academy, being Ad- miral Bunce's junior by one year. They were at Annapolis together, but MT Grimball joined the confederate cause and fought gallantly on the cruiser Ala bama. The reception continued for an hour, and was attended by the officers of the feet and hundreds of the most prominent men and women of the city.
 With rest of three hours Secretary Herbert, Admiral Bunce and the officers appeared once more in public. This time it was to be the specially honered guests at a naval ball. given in their honor by the people of Charleston at large. The function, which is still in progress, is a most imposing and brilliant one. The invitations were limited to 500, and every person who was sent one attended. Not since 9nte-bellum days has an entertain ment of equal magnificence been given in Charleston.
 The Puritan has arrived in port, and will proba bly remain here several weeks The Terror, Amphitrite and possibly the Vesuvius will do likewise. The Dolphin returns to Florida waters, and the big cruisers and battleships will sail for Nor folk tomorrow evening.
 Tomorrow the festivities will continue throughout the forenoon. The officers will entertain citizens on their ships and there will be numerous private luncheons and breakfasts given on shore.

 Moslems by Christians.
 Canea, Crete, Feb. 19.-The Austrian vice consul at Heraklion confirms the re- port of the massacre of 1000 Moslems by Cretan Christians at Scitia, on the east ern extremity of the island. Col. Vassos, commanding the Greek forces in Crete, has given orders to his troops to refrain from molesting or giving offense to civil ians and unarmed Moslems, and has promised that the men under his com mand will show equal respect and ob- serve equal treatment to all peaceably disposed persons.
 The Greek consulate here is onw be- ing guarded by Russian marines, who will be saccessively relieved by marines from other foreign warships. The Greek consul withdrew the Greek guards from theconsulate in obedience to orders from the adn1irals of the foreign squadrons. The consul, in complying with the order, protested that the admirals were exceed ing their functions in taking such action against him.
 The Greek steamer Pan Hellenic, con- veying munitions of war to insurgents in Crete, has been stopped and turned back by British cruiser, The action of the British vessel has created the fercest inGi9natiOn here.

 Constantinople, Feb. 19.--It is reported here that Photiades Pasha. the provi- sional successor to George Bereyitch Pasha as Christian governor of Crete, has declined to continue to discharge the duties of that office and that Karatheo- dofi Pasha will be appointed to the gov ernorship of the island.
 The Turkish squadron in Cretan waters will consist nominally of nine ironclads and twenty-five torpedo boats.

Pend ing the completion of the arrangements involved in this plan, the British and Italian premiers' agreement permits the continuation of the status quo in Crete.

 Berlin, Feb. 19.-The Noueste Mach richten makes violent attack upon Great Britain because of her reported re- fusal to join Germany and the other ac- quiescing powers in the proposal to blockade the Piraeus. The. attitude as- sumed by England, the paper declares, has been the subject of heated conver- sation between Count Won Hatzfeldt the German ambassador to Great Britain, and Lord Salisbury.

Kentucky, who urged the ratification of

Kentucky, who urged the ratification of the convention and action today.
 MT Lindsay spoke for almost one hour, devoting the most of his time to a refutation of the legal arguments ad- vanced by Senator Daniel and others who have, during this debate. taken the ground that the senate was asked to yield up its prerogative, apart from the treaty making power.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Lindsay's re- marks, the effort was again made to se- cure vote, but this effort was met by motions to adjourn, which were inyaria- bly, voted down or developed the absence of quorum.
 MT. Sherman pleaded in vain for an ad- journment for a day and hour on which the vote might be taken. Every sugges- ton of his was objected to, and one roll call continued to succeed another, until finally it was impossible to secure quorum. A motion was then made and carried instrueting the sergeant-at-arms to arrest absent senators and bring them before the bar of the senate. While the sergeant-at-arms was preparing his war rant, the friends of the treaty held a consultation which resulted in the mo- tion to adjourn by MT. Gallinger. This prevailed and without any notice on the part of Mr. Sherman that he would again call up the treaty. the senate at o'clock adjourned. It is not improbable. how ever, that MT. Sherman may make one more effort to secure a vote.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 Another appropriation bill was taken up in the house today but little prog resS was made. The measure was that carrying appro- priations to supply deficiencies for the current fiscal year and prior years. It encountered it's first snag, when MT Grow (rep. Pa) insisted that he had right to speak as long as he wanted to on 1t. This proposition was discussed for some time, and resulted in victory for the venerable Pennsylvania mam ber who devoted some extended remarks, not to the appropriation bill, but to the Oklo- hama free homestead measure Then a long discussion was started by MT Rich ardson tdem. Tenn.) over an item to pay special attorneys for defending suits against the United States.
 MT. Richardson wanted to know the use of paying attorneys to defend such cases when the Judgments given against the United States, particularly in claims under the Bowman act, were never paid. Many members spoke with regard to the nropriety of paying the Bowman claims, but when the afternoon was nearly over the discussion was dropped. The bill was not finished at o'clock, when the house took a recess for three hours.
 MT. Savers (dem. Tex) gave notice that he would offer amendments to the de- fciency appropriations on behalf of the Southern Pacific Railroad company.
