The article, published exclusively in
yesterday mornings Register, that the
city would be enjoined from appropri-
ating money for presents TO the gun
boat Wheeling, came upon certain in
terested parties and the people OF
Wheeling in the form of sensation.
It was not only . big scoop" for the
Register. but a clear Knockout for the
persons who have been pushing the ap-
preparation through Council.
The subject was a matter Of general
discussion throughout the city yester-
day. and opinions were expressed
freely. The general sentiment was in
opposition TO ali appropriations by the
city Council OF the public funds and the
peoples money for any purpose
than that the Council is en-
powered. There is no objection to a
recognition of the honor conferred up
on the city by making a suitable pres
ent to the gunbOaU, but the general
contention is that if there is such a
desire upon the part of puOLc-sprted
citizens that il should be done IN the
proper and legal way-by popular sub
scription. The making of such an APP
propriation by the city is no evidence
of the peoples will, as this can only
be demonstrated by the willingness or
the public to contribute for that pur-
nose. These are the views OF num-
Der of people. particularly business
men. who we're interviewed upon the
subject Yesterday. 1t is the stand
which the DIRECTORS Of the appropria-
tion have made in Council. W. w.
Irwin. who was the principal opponent
of the appropriation in the First
Branch of Council, objected 10 1t on
these grounds. He is heartily in favor
of the people of Wheeling making a
present. but insists upon it being done
i'm accordance with law and custom.
He stated yesterday that it was his
op;niOn that if the matter came up IN
Council tonight that it would be eth
or voted down OF laid upon the table,
for the Council would not want to take
the responsibility OF ordering the APP
rrouriation to De made and then put
10 the humiliation of having 1t stopped
by legal proceedings.

London. Feb. ia dispatch to the
Times from Canea dated last Sunday

Georgie Berovitch as governor OF Crete
has already been accepted. and he depart
ed last Sunday afternoon for Trieste. De-
spite the official statements there Is rea-
son to believe he left his post without The
sultan's permission. In his letter to the
consuls representing the powers. he only
stated that he hao rendered his reslgna-

Although well intentioned, Berovitch

According to the dispatch TO the Times

after placing the refugees at the CONSUL

consul, who told them to go aboard the

Washington. Feb. A-Washington's
representatives are using their influence
in behalf of Colonel Henry c. Merriam
for the appointment as brlgadier general,
which appointment is to be made within
n short time from a list of 25 colonels.
Colonel Merriam stands second on the
list, and is one OF the most popular men
In the service. Every man OF the 25 would,
of course, like to have the appointment
and the 25th man on the list wrote TO
New York congressman the other day So
Letting his influence. That gentleman re-
Piled that he Believed that seniority of
service should rule the appointment, as
there had been an understanding after
the appointment of General Coppinger,
Blaine's son-in-law. that influence should
| not again be considered in filling vacan-
| cies II for any reason the first man on
| the list should not be taken, however,
Colonel Merriam is almost certain to get
the appointment.
Colonel Merriam is now in command at
Fort Logan, Colorado. He has had a
long military career. and wears a medal
of honor for exceptional gallantry at Fort
| Blakely, Alabama, where he led coloreo
troops to a splendid victory in advance OF
orders. He is one Of the model disciplin-
arians in the army. and also a scholarly
man and a polished writer. His service
| among the Indians in the northwest hai
been noteworthy and after the battle o
Wounded Knee, he intercepted and dis
armed the Sitting Bull warriors after tn
old chief was killed and they had starte
for their hospital camp.
Colonel Merriam is as much citize
of Washington as of any state in tn
Union and has wife and family VIII

Governor Black OF New York, Governor
Griggs of New Jersey, and to all the
prominent officials of the two cities, as
well as to many of the state officers and

The trophy for which the match was

lMMURED FROM IRISH FRIENDS.
Drs. Gallagher and Whitehead be-
Iieved to BE in Insane Asylums.

Philadelphia, Feb 4.-Are Drs. Gala
CHER and Whitehead, the alleged dyna-
miters recently released by the English
government, and since their arrival in
this country confined in insane asylums,
so confined IN order that they may not be
afforded an opportunity OF wreaking ven
geance upon those who were instrumental
in inducing them to go to England. and
who betrayed them to the English gov
ernment long before the vessels on which
they were passengers had reached Eng
lish waters?
This is what a good many Irishmen here
and elsewhere who belong to what is
known as the Cronin, or anti-inner circle,
faction of the Irish race are asking; and
the demand for definite answer has be-
come SO strong and pronounced that it is
probable a demand may be made on the
committee having charge of the mainte ..
nance of the released prisoners for an OPP
portunity for an interview between the
latter and the committee of Independent
| Irishmen.
That Gallagher and Whitehead were
chosen by the inner circle for English
operations" and that they were betrayed
almost as soon as they had sailed, is a
part of Irish record, and was brought out
clearly and beyond a shadow of doubt In
the proceedings that led up. to the tragic
death of DR.. Cronin. 1t is known, more
| over, that both of the alleged insane men
have since their arrival in this country
written several threatening letters to in
dviduals whom they regarded, and per-
haps rightfuly SO, as being responsible
for their betrayal, but that these letters

There is a strong following In New York
of the element that sent Gallagher ano
Whitehead upon their mission, and Il
would naturally be interested in suppress
ing what would be one of the most afro
cious stories of treachery of moderr
times, of which the mere hint at reve
lation cost DR.. Cronin his life. There ar

countries to provide an officer capable or

The name of Belgian officer distln-

In response to a request from the edi-

The Times suggests that the best solu-
ton of the troubles in Crete would be to
give Crete autonomy under the nominal
rule of the sultan. who would receive a
fixed tribute. but who would have no
control over either civil or military nd
ministration.
