CIVILIZED EUROPE ALONE GUILTY
For Outpouring of Christian Blood, if Crete
Is Retored to Sultan.

Paris, February 22.-In the cham ber of
Depties today, the government was
sharply questioned by the Socialists
leaders NM. Jaures and Millerand and
others In regard to the situation In Crete,
and in the couYse of the ensuing Discus
sion Of various motions the govern
ment's general policy in the East was
severely criticised. In reference to. Crete,
NM. Joures and Millerand, who were
supported in the views by number Of
other deputies, held that the manifesto
tions in favor of the severance of the
land from Turkish rule, made by the
French students were in full accord with
the generous and humanitarian sympa-
thizers of France, and declared that if
Crete should be left to the Sultan for the
renewal of the massaores in the island,
civilized Europs..would alone be guilty of
the outpouring of blood.
Replying to the interrellations. M.
Hanotaux, minister Of foreign affairs,
read the obligation of France to cooper

The Naval Appropriation Bill Before tht
House-Southern Pacific Bill Response
BILE for a Debate-senator Hill Presents
Credentials of Thomas G. Platt.
Washington, February 22.-The House
went into committee of the whole and
took up the deficiency bill. The bitter
fight that was waged in the House some
weeks ago, over the Pacific funding bill
was renewed to some extent.
Mr.. Eayers, Democrat of Texas, offered
amendments to the paragraph in the
bill for the payment of judgments Of
the Southern Pacific railroad company,
one of them striking cut the item of 81,
80, 427, to pay the balance of the judg
ment Of the court of claims in favor OF
the Southern Pacific company.
A vote on Mr.. Sayers's amendment
was taken and resulted: Ayes, 72; noes,
81, SO the Judgment In favor Of the
Southern Pacific railway was not strick-
en- out. The other two Pacific amend
ments were rejected.
Objections came from many parts OF
the House when al attempt was made to
reinsert by unanimous consent the
paragraph stricken out Saturday for
the payment of special employees Of the
House. A lively time ensued, but MIR.
Cannon finally ended matters by moving
that the omInittee rise. This was
agreed to and the bill was reported to
the House
The first amendment on which vote
was taken was that striking from the
bill an item of about $12, GOO to pay
members amounts deducted from their
salaries for absence. 1t resulted yeas
1872, nays 96, the House refusing to re-
fund the amounts deducted. The bill
was then passed.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the naval appropriation bill.
In explanation of the bill MIR. Boutelle
referred to the armor plate question and
told how the committee had arrived at
it's conclusions regarding the plate, ac-
cepting the report of the Secretary of the
Navy as coming in the nature of q de-
partmental estimate.
Concerning action OF the committee
in leaving out an appropriation for new
ships. Mr.. Boutelle explained that the
omission represented in no posi- BILE way
any laxity on the part OF the committee in
pushing forward the building Of the
new navy. The conn mittee had done
so out of consideration of the national
finances.
During the reading OF the bill Mr..
Barrett, Republican of Massach usetts,
made a point of order against the item
for clerical hire at Puget Sound, Wash
ington, and Port Royal. S. c., naval
stations, and they were passed over
temporarily. The committee then rose.
