sEslEcEo TURKS RELIEVED.


hAsC VII ah hAht o.
LONDON. England (Special). Tho Daily
News publishes u dispatch from Canea say
ing that the Mussulmans who had been be-
yieged at Kandamos and who have arrived at
Canen, were conveyed there on board tho
Italian transport Trinacria. and that another
7essel is expected to arrive shortly with more
refugees. The force which relieved the be-
leaguered inhabitants of Kandamos also as
sisted l12 soldiers who were besieged in the
Spanish blockhouse.
The correspondent says the utmost credit
IS due to Sir A. Biliotti, the British Consul
1t Canea, who managed the entire affair
personally. Without him the besieged people
,ould never have escaped. In the first
Instance, he went alone to Kandamos after
comforting with the Cretan leaders, who ex-
pressed doubt of their ability TO control
their followers. The place was surrounded
oy 1000 Cretans, who kept up n continuous
iusillade, which sometimes was replied to by
a light Are.
Consul BilIotti entered the town and re-
malned until nightfall, when, having be-
come convinced of the absolute necessity OF
employing q foroe,of Europeans to effect the
release of the beleagured ones, he returned
to Selino. from which place he started on his
return to Kandamos before dawn with n
force OF $50 British, 100 French, 100 Aus
trians, 100 Russians, n 5o Italians, with
four guns.
Upon arriving at Kandamos the troops re-
malned upon the outskirts, while the Consul
entered the town to arrange for the sortie.
Some delay occurred, owing to n lack OF
beasts OF burden. The Creians had ceased
their firing and consented that the Moslem
soldiers should retain their arms, but when
the latter emerged and a start was made for
Sellno a scene OF the widest confusion and
one Of great danger took place.
The horde OF Cretan insurgents surrouul-
ed the refugees and, wherever a gap oc-
Cured in the escort. would dash in and tear
their weapons from the Bashi Bazouks and
snatch the bundles which many OF the
women and children carried. 1t was with
the utmost difficulty that the Moslems were
prevented from firing on tho insurgents
and thus bringing about a horrible slaugh-
ter. During the confusion one girl was kid
mapped by the Cretans.
The insurgents followed the refugees,
pressing in upon their column, as far as
Spaniako, where there is a gorge, which was
blocked by the escort aIter tho refugees had
passed. This prevented the Cretans from
advancing further.

THE TRUSTS IN NEW YORK.
Report of the Lexow Legislative Commit
tee--A Remedial Bill,

tee---A Remedial BIiI,
Senator Lexow's Committee, whieh has
been investigating the operations OF the
trusts, has made its report to the New York
Senate. The report says that trust agree
ments no longer form the basis OF, nor are
they a constituent part OF the aggregations
of capital which are commonly looked upon
now as trusts. In discussing this question OF
trusts, the committee finds that II ID unnec-
essary That absolute monopoly shall exist in
order that the operations OF q trust may be
secured.
The committee does not quite agree that
the trusts and monopolies complained OF
are a natural result of the progressive evoln-
tion OF the times, aud willis it does NOT
recognise all combinations of capital as
trusts in the proper sense, it does recog-
nize that unless the evils complained OF
are corrected 1t will be but a short time be-
fore n continuance Of ihs operation OF such
combinations will tend to stiile competition
and place the regulation OF supply md the
price OF product, as well us the business oil
the country, in the hand Of a few.
The Committee Is preparing a bill which
will empower the AttOrney-ienerl 10 in
vestigate a trust On the complaint OF any
citizen OF an alleged violation OF law, which
bill will empower the Attorney-General to
examine witnesses under subp0enas TO be
issued on the Attorney Generals ex parte
application by a Justice OF the Supreme
