THE TUG OF WAR.

True to her traditions. Greece cannot
be bluffed. The Greek believes in the
tug Of war, and the dispatches from
Athens more clearly indicate that
all Europe combined can't force him TO
retreat from the isle of Crete. Back of
his refusal TO accede TO the identical
note of the powers are things Of which

growing out of the Cretan affair Is very
remote. Upon the other hand the atti-

JAPAN FOR GOLD.

The greatest and most progressive
silver country Of tie orient, Japan, mas
declared for the gold standard, which is
to take effect next October. The new
gold coin will be substituted, gradually,
for the larger silver coins on the pres
ent exchangeable valuation, or market
prices of the two metals respectively,
that is, at a ratio Of 32s to 1. Japan
has always been silver standard
country. A later dispatch from YOko-
homa, not authenticated, announces
that the ratio will be 80 Is to 1. The
smallest gold pieces will be Of the value
Of } yen, which are TO take the place of
the silver yen redeemable in them.
What effect this action Of Japan will
have upon the proposed effort in favor
of international bimetallism, If any, is
not known, yet, more than likely, il will
tend to more strongly intrench England
in her gold standard policy.
