he duties higher than they would
had it not been for the necessity of
raising more revenue. The Repubi-
can party promised the people last
fall that if they were placed in power
they would give the industries of he
country the necessary protection for
them to start up again; and this bill
is intended to do just this thing.
Without doubt few of the Demo
Gratis will claim that because some
of their party voted with the Repub-
icans last fall, to save the country
from the folly of Organism, that the
Republicans should not attempt to
carry out Republican principles
for which the people voted, but they
prevent the passage of the bill.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The new administration is having
some disagreeable surprises in re-
gard to the civil service rules as given
out by Cleveland short time before
his term expired. The new secretary
of war, General Alger, is the most
handicapped of the cabinet officers.
He finds that under the late order he
has not the power to make single
appointment of any consequence;
he has no authority to appoint even a
confidential secretary, as it has been
rule of the department to detail one
of the clerks as the secretary's
private secretary. Secretary Alger
thinks that this is a wrong custom
and should not be continued. Each
clerk. he contends, should perform
the duties for which he was appoint
ted, and he has about decided to send
to Detroit for confidential man and
pay him out of his own pocket.
General Alger is also surprised and
annoyed to find he cannot appoint an
assistant secretary of war. Early in
the Cleveland administration j. B.
Doe of Wisconsin was appointed as
sistant secretary of war by the
president on recommendation of SEN
ator Villas. Secretary Lamont was
not long in learning that Mr.. Doe was
not the kind of man he wanted, that
they had conflicting ideas as to the
management of the war department,
and that it would be better not to
have one whose views constantly ran
counter to those of the secretary. Ac-
cordingly, Colonel Lamont endeavor-
ed to have Mr.. Doe transferred to
some other branch of the service,
but his hands were tied by the influ-
ence of Senator Villas with the presi-
dent Secretary Dan then cut the
Gordian knot by failing to assign any
duties for Mr.. Doe to perform, and
Mr.. Villas friend has been nothing but
a fgurehead in his office. Now Sec
retary Alger inherits the precious
Mr.. Doe from the Cleveland admins
tration, but thus far has ignored him
as Colonel Lamont did.

exploration scheme and pledged it
financial support. The considera-
tions influencing their decisions were:
the worthiness and practibility of the
objects sought, the chances of success
and the added distinction and wider
knowledge to be won for the country,
and the rare experience and quaIifi-
cations of the man who is willing to
undertake the difficult and hazardous
task.

THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE.

1t is announced that the foreign ad-
mirals in Cretan water, have issued a
proclamation stating that blockade
of Crete would begin at s O'Clock on
the morning Of March 81. After that
time no Greek vessels would be al
lowed to enter the ports of the Island
and the vessels of other nations de-
string to enter must first obtain per-
mission from the admirals.
The announcement from SkOuZeS
that the blockade would begin on
Sunday was received calmly. The
chamber and the people generally are
resigned to this action on the part of
the powers, believing that the at
tempted imposition Of autonomy on
the Cretans will prove futile and that
the island will ultimately fall to
Greece.
A number of prominent Cretans
who are now in Athens state that
their property has been destroyed by
Moslems and that they will never re-
turn TO the island. They could never
have the slightest confidence in the
nogefregime that is proposed by the
powers, and believe that an auton-
omous government initiated by force
of arms would never be self sustain
ing, and that the latter end of it would
be worse than the first.
The Greek troops in the island are
in a position, SO far as supplies are
concerned, to hold out for an indefin :
ite period, Notwithstanding reports
to the contrary. During the past
week great quantities of these sup
plies have been successfully trans
ferred to the troops.
Greek sailors, than whom there are
no better along the shores OF the Med
iterranean, are confident that the
blockade will not prove effective
against their superior knowledge of
the coasts of Crete. They claim that
they can and will easily run the block :
ade and land whatever cargoes they
carry.

disloyalty of the army, will place a
new president and congress in power

that they will be sold by the Danish
government to some other power.

European war departments usually
have on hand some sensation in me-
chanical devices, and the one occu-
pying attention at present is a new
French field gun. 1t is rapid fire
cannon, with a range of four miles,
and can be as rapidly handled in ac-
ton as any piece of light artillery.
The object of the new construction
attached to the gun carriage is to re-
duce the recoil to minimum, thus
holding the aim perfectly for rapid
work. Two tubes, inclosing dydro-
pneumatic brakes, and terminating
at the lower end in sort Of plow-
share to be driven into the soil by the
firing, absorb the recoil, SO that it is
scarcely noticeable after the third
shot. Germany also is reported to be
much interested in the new invention.

all of any other businessi so as to af

toward keeping up the war like feel
