Porte would issue similar instructions
to the commanders Of the Turkish
troops in Macedonia.
Dispatches since received here from
Thessaly indicate that the wishes of
King George will be carried out 1t
was stated in these messages that, al
though the Greek troops are animated
with unabated enthusiasm, nothing will
be done to needlessly irritate the Turks.
An incident showing this to be the
case has occurred near Melun. A
Greek officer of engineers was engage
in supervising the work of repairing
a road close to the frontier and was
prevented by some Turkish officials
from proceeding with the task. The
Greeks have not taken any action in
the matter, although it is claimed they
were we'll within their rights in pro-
ceeding with the repairs.
CRITICAL IN CANEA.
On the other hand, dispatch re-
ceived here from Canea at 9:30 this
morning states that Col. VassOs who
is in command Of the Greek Army Of
Occupation as it is termed at Athens,
has received at his camp near Platania
instructions from King George to be
prepared to resist coercion to the end.
This spirit, which pervades all the
orders sent to the Greek commanders
in Crete, is further shown in Canea
dispatches received at o'clock this
morning, referring to the incident which
occurred at Selino yesterday. Before
deciding to land the mixed detachment
Of marines, the adTniralS pour -parleyed
for a long time with the Greek COM
modore, Col Vassos, and the Greek
vice consul. Evasive answers only were
returned to the admirals, the Greek
commodore protesting against the OBJ
stacles which Europe placed in the
way of his action, and Col. Vassos as
serting that he had no authority over
the insurgents who were investing
Selino.
These replies, coupled with the insis-
tence of the Greek vice consul that he
would only consent to go to Selino on
board a Greek warship and in the
name of King George of Greece, com
PEELED the foreign admirals, in defer
ence to their instructions, to decide
to themselves deliver the imprisoned
Moslens, even If they had to use force
against the insurgents or the Greeks
in order to do so. Therefore, a detach-
ment of marines was landed at SelinO
from the foreign warships, and it set
out forthwith for Candamo, a distance
of seven miles.
The Greek vice consul, M. Baraclis,
thereupOn informed the admiral that
the Greek government declined all re-
spOnsibility for what might take place.
Il is said that there are 5000 MOSlemS
besieged at Candamo, where the earth
works of the Turks have been partly
destroyed by the fire of the Insurgents,
many men being killed on both sides.
Additional advices from Crete this
morning say that the insurgents have
formed q Gordon around Canea and
that yesterday evening the insurgents
attacked the Turkish positions at Ma
laXa and Keratidi where they attempt
ed to destroy the block house With the
use Of dynamite. The fighting, how
ever, was of a desultOry nature. and
this morning hoshlities were reported
to be at a StandStill.

some crap shooting. Undoubtedly there
is, but 1t is so meagerly indulged in
that even police investigation fails to
discover it.
"As for the charge concerning gamb-
ling at the Merchants hotel, I have the
word of honor Of both Mr. Carson, the
proprietor, and the head clerk, that
there is no public gambling about the
place. If, as l say, some one rents a
room and is there joined in a game Of
poker by a party OF friends, neither
the hotel proprietor nor the police can
interfere"
Notwithstanding the statement Of
Chief Goss the game at the Merchants
hotel has been street Secreet for some
time, and whether or not it is of
public nature can perhaps be inferred
from the fact that it is only necessary
to board the elevator and the boy in
charge would furnish the directions.
Furthermore, a business man" enter

not set out nightly $12 or SIS lunch for
his guests, nor would strangers be al

Only few days ago a contractor sat
in the private game until according
to the common report around the next
day he lost $1,000. That's what Chief
Goss calls friendly game.

The story in yesterdays G 10 b e ex-
posing the prevalence Of gambling in
st. Paul under the reform" admins
tration created considerable comment
and was in certain circles the topic of
conversation throughout the day.
Chief Goss, of the police department,
seen by a reporter for the Globe.
stated that he was aware of the ex-
1stence of friendly games of poker be-
ing played in the city but declared en-
phatically that there was to his knowI-
edge not single gambling layout
within the confines Of the SANITY CITY.
Said he:
OF course there are poker games
running in st. Paul, as there are in
every city. By this l mean simply
friendly games in private places. If
a man chooses to play poker with his
friends at his home. that is his bust
ness, and it is not within the province
of the police department to interfere
with his private pleasure. The same
principle applies to hotels If some
business man rents a room at a hotel
and then invites his friends there to
play poker 1T is an affair with which
the police department has no concern.
This is not public gambling, and no
such thing exists in st. Paul with the
knowledge of the police. AS chief of
police I court in formation on this sub
ject, and any gambling joint found to
be in operation will be summarily
closed"

chief, Il have had a number of anony-
nous letters regarding certain alleged
gambling places, and in each case an

A dispatch received here from BARGE
Iona, Spain, says that fifty delegates
of the Catalan Home Rule associa-
tion and number of newspapers have
signed message to the Greek consul
with the request that it be forwarded
to King George, expressing the desire
Of the Catalans to see Crete united
with Greece. This message was pre-
sented to the consul with much cere-
mony and the singing Of chorals, etc.
The consul, in thanking the deputa-
ton, said that the king Of Greece would
not recede from the path pointed out
by the popular will.
King George of Greece has sent to
Sir Charles Dixie a telegram convey
ing his heartfelt thanks and SYM
pathy to Sir Charles and other men,
berS of the house of commons who
signed the telegram sent the king
from the house last week assuring
him and the Greek nation of the de-
sire Of themselves and Of the English
men and Irishmen whom they repre-
sented, for the success of the Greek
cause in the Cretan imbroglio. There
was a lively interchange of tele-
grams between the European chancel-
leries yesterday over the rejection by
Greece of the proposals Of the powers,
ana as TO the measures 10 De adopted.
So far as Germany Is concerned.
there are some signs Of a change of
attitude. The National Zeitung and
the Berlin Post contain statements, ap-
parently inspired, to the effect that it
will be impossible for Germany to hold
out in her contention if the other pow
ers show a disposition to give way
so far as to negotiate further with
Greece, or to insist that Turkey also
shall withdraw her troops from Crete.
The National Zeitung reminds the gov
ernment that Germany has no direct
interests in the East.
The British minister at Athens has
wired home his belief that a peaceful
settlement will now be arranged.

The reply of the Turkish government
to this collective note is expected to

tive of the Associated Press at Con-
stantinople learns that it will state in
substance that the Porte, in taking
cognizance of it, declares to the powers
its resolve to maintain the integrity Of

principle the establishment of an auton-
omous administration for the island of

reports received from many places this

congregations to attend the demon

afternoon. Though the weather was
threatening, about $4,000 people were
present They consisted of ali classes.
The speakers platforms displayed
Greek flags.
Among those who addressed the gath

A resolution was adopted at all the
Platforms with cheers for King George
of Greece, expressing the strongest
sympathy with the Cretans in their
heroic struggle against the intolerable
tyrant Of Turkey, and congratulating
Greece upon having. by her gallant con-
duct, effected a deliverance which the
united powers were unable to achieve.
The resolution further protested
against any attempt to coerce Greece,
and demanded that the Marquis of

Shop.

Burglars raided the tailor shop Of Froemel
O'Rourke, 446 Robert street. last night,
and carried off everything of value about
the place, except the shelves and stove.
Their reason for leaving these articles was
undoubtedly on account Of the larger amount
Of more convertible property which they Sc
cured and not because they did not have
things their own way. The store was en-
tered through a side window. opening on an
alley, some time before 8 O'Clock and from
appearances the thieves must have spent
nearly an hour in the place. Every piece Of
wearing apparel in the store was removed
from the hooks on the walls and carried off
while a box Of private papers, including re-
ceipts and insurance policies was taken away
bodily. The robbery was particularly dar-
ing piece Of work, evidenced by the early
hour at which it was perpetrated and the
fact that crowded street cars with glaring
headlights passed the door of the tailor shop
every few minutes. The store is immedi-
ately facing the street. and how the robbers
could have worked so Systematically and
completely stripped it oi its contents is a
mystery TO the police who are investigating
the affair as the work OF experts thoroughly
acquainted with the burglary business Mr..
OROurke visited the store after the robbery
and, after hurried inventory stated that
the property taken, consisting OF two dress
suits. newly made, six business suits, several
pairs of pants and three overcoats was val
ued at not less than $50. This is the third
robbery of which Froenel & ORoUrke have
been the victims, hayig on TWO other coca
sions lost property aggregating nearly 5000.
