NOT YET NOTIFIED.
Greeks and Turks Will Soon BE Warned,
However.

LONDON, March lit is stated here
that there is good authority for believ-
ing that the result of the conferences
between the representatives OF the
great powers at Constantinople and
Athens will be the presentation of col
lective notes to Turkey and Greece
within "a hours.
Greece will be allowed four days to
recall her land and sea forces from
Crete. 1t is reported from Canea that
several insurgent leaders have sent tC
Vice Admiral Canevaro of the Italian
feet signed declaration that the Gre
tans will accept no solution Of the
pending question, but political union
with Greece.

sieged the Turkish garrisons in the
blockhOuse at Malata for several days
Sunday body of turkish regulars and
irregulars left Canea with convoy to
revlctual the blockhouse. The insur.
gents attacked the column and killed
several of the escort, whereupon the

order of the foreign admirals. The
convoy was finally compelled to retire.

The latest advices from Canea reporI
that fighting betw cen the besieged gar.
rison and the Cretans continues. The
villages of Trikalaria and Nerokouro,
in the same district, have been, it is re-
ported, burned by the Bashibazouks.
Fighting continues also outside Can
dia. The Christians have repulsed tn,
Turks.
Dispatches from Athens state that D
number of Cretan deputies, headed by
the bishop of Retimo, have presented
King George with memorial which
states in effect that autonomy, instead
of pacifying the island, will
only pave the way for anoth!
er revolution later on, and still
further endangor the peace of Europe
and that, therefore, the Cretans are
resolved to continue the struggle until
political union with Greece, there long
cherished hope, is realized.
1t is reported that 800 more volun-
teers have evaded the blockade es-
tablished by the powers and landed

Passed Many Private Pension Bills.
One feature of the sessions record
worthy of note is the great number of
private pension bills passed, many of
them placing the widows Of officers on
the pension rolls at ratings ranging
from $50 to $40 a month. Several of
the pension bills were vetoed by Presi-
dent Cleveland, but congress enacted
some Of these despite the veto.
Several important bills are i'll the
hands of the president, awaiting his
action, foremost among them the I'M
migration bill which establishes an
educational test for immigrants and
bars out labOrers who maintain their
homes in other countries.
Necessarily the policy of the house
TO avoid new legislation which in

have attached to it, owing to the fact
hat the commission will make no re-
port on the boundary question. leaving
that to be determined by the arbitra-
tion decided upon between the two
governmeSs most interested-Great
Britain and Venezuela. The report
speaks of the difficulty it encountered
at the outset on account of the novelty
of the work to be undertaken, because
the commission had no precedent to
guide it, and as its results were OF
matter of the deepest Importance. Es-
pecial reference is made to the evident
desire on the part of the two govern.
ments directly concerned to aid the
commission in its investigation. Every
call for information or documents was
