Kansas Governor Stamps His Disapproval
Upon the Harris Railroad Bill.
Topeka, Kan, March 1O.-Gov.
Leedy yesterday vetoed the Harris
railroad bill and sent message to the
Legislature giving his reasons thereto,
together with some suggestions as to
what kind of bill should be passed,
No effort will be made at this session
to enact railroad law, Gov. Leedy
doesn't want it. He has advised that
all efforts in that direction be aban-
doned. His plan is to call special
session the latter part of April and try
again to enact maximum freight rate
law, The message is quite lengthy
and gives several reasons why the gov
ernor is opposed to the bill, principal
among which Is that II does not con-
tain maximum clause; that it does
not give the relief the people demand
and expect, being very little better
than the present law. An effort was
made in the house to pass the bill over
the veto, but it failed.

LONDON, March 0.-The reply of
Greece to the identical notes Of the
powers delivered at Athens last Tues
day and insisting upon the withdrawal
of the Greek troops from Crete and of
the Greek feet from Cretan waters was
received here yesterday. 1t is concilia-
tory in tone, fully recognizing the
aims of the powers. 1t offers to with
draw the Greek fleet from Cretan
waters and, while pointing out that
it is impossible to withdraw the Greek
troops from the island of Crete, it
will offer to place them under the
control of the powers to restore
order, and it meets the statement
about the Cretans really preferring
autonomy by suggesting that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government by an election. A cabinet
council was Immediately held, after
which the marquis of Salisbury went
to Windsor to consult the queen.
There was great animation at the for
eign Office, nearly every ambassador
