been prevented by the Cretan crisis.
which keeps business at the Stock En-
change very much restricted. Continent
nj bourses have sold heavily, and al
though there have been few transactions,
the prices here have been forced down
accordingly. Greeks, Turks and Bulga-
rans have fallen from 2 to & points, and
Italian and Spanish l ID points. In
fact all foreign securities show more or
less of Il decline. Argentines and Brazil
ians have fallen from to . points. Uru-
guayans have fallen ) points on the score
of reports of revolutionary outbreaks.
With very few exceptions home rails
show a decline of from l to. per cent;
and African mining sect FltleS are sun
falling. Unless the DOWN ard movement
is arrested serious trouble is lnevltaDle.
Americans are also depressed, though
not to the same extent. President Nc
Kinley's message had little effect ON the
London money markets. whose tendency
has already been discounted. 1t is be-
lieyed that but for the Cretan trouble
Americans would show substantlal rise

Their Country.

church on the north side 800 trained sol
diers Of the Greek army reserves this
morning swOre to return at the call OF
their king to fight for their native land.
The right hands of all the men in the
audience shot up in the air when Father
Phiambotis, the pastor of the colony,
proposed the OATH and their smiling
neighbors waved their arms wildly i'll the
air as they pronounced ''before Almighty
God to defend the'hag and soil of Greece
from the touch of the enemy; to obey the
commands of the king and his captains in
all things: to die rather than give way
before the face of the enemy, and to hold
themselves in instant readiness to en-
bark for the Piraeus when transports
should be provided to carry them to the
city of the king
Before the oath was given the priest
qyploined TO the excited men the appeal
which King George sent TO the Greeks III
America calling on them to rally to their
country. The king wished his people to
arrange their affairs and be i'll readiness

ready in day or two.

SERIOtS NEWS FROM CANEA.
The Admirals Suggest Coercion-Mussu
mans Are Menacing the Greeks.

Canea, Island of Crete, March ST. a.
m.-The admirals have forwarded to
their respective government their sugges-
tons for the coercion of Greece. The
commander of q Russian cruiser which
has just arrived from Selma reports that
the foreign vessels fired guns there to in
timidate the insurgents.
The military governor of Canea has
informed the dragoman of the Greek
consulate that orders have been received
to fire on the Greek representative if
he leaves the consulate.
The Mussulmans in the town are men
acing the Greeks. and the foreign repre-
sentatives in Canea refused to guarantee
the safety of newspaper correspondents
if they ventured outside of Canea.
The insurgents failed to gain an ent-
rance into MalaXa by the use of dyna-
mite ut o'clock last night, but they

for achievements. Skirmishing has been
going on since noon on the plains outside

the true remedy until we used DR.. Kings

take its place in our home, as in it we
have a certain and sure cure Tor coughs
colds, whooping cough. etc." 1t is idle
to experiment with other remedies, ever
if they are urged on you as just as goot
as DR.. Kings New Discovery. They
are not as good, because this remedy has
a record of cures and besides is guaran

of the Greek public, which regards it as
an unjustifed step, and with the eXcep-
ton of occasional affronts from persons
of the lower class, foreigners have been
treated with all respect and have at no
time been in any danger whatever.
Moreover, majority of the foreign res
idents are known to favor the Greek
cause.
Certainly the disposition of the city is
very warlike, but considering the excited
state of the public mind the people are
behaving with moderation and exhibit,

with their accoutrements. Squads of cav

to the scene. Great crowds join the sol
diers in hurrahing for war and proclaim
ing loyalty to Greece, to King George
and to the government.
The decree summoning the remainder
of the reserves is held back at the last
