The Departure Of the British
Consul is Criticised.
Greek Fleet Has Left Canea for An
Unknown Destination.

Canea, Island of Crete, March 6.-The
foreign warships have landed 500 men at
Selino.
The news OF the proposal upon the part
of the Powers to grantlautnoomy to the
Island of Crete has created bad impress
sion among the insurgents who desire
annexation to Greece. The Mussulmans
are also excited at the concession of
autonomy.
The departure Of the British consul
Sir Alfred Billio alone for Selino ON board
the British battleship Rodney, although
that vessel was accompanied by other
foreign warships, is badly interpreted by

A TRAMP'S LOYALTY.
Pleaded Guilty to Theft Rather Than
Be Separated From His Pard.
How Minions Of the Law Were Relieved
From Settling Nice Question.
Sharing each others sorrows.
Sharing each others joys"


The officers of justice were relieved of
the necessity of determining a nice ques-
tion this morning because of the loyalty
of one tramp for another. They could not
bear to be parted, consequently when dan

William Rice and Thomas Moran have
been buffeted by the world, and about all
that there is therein, for a long time il
appearances are any indication of tough
luck They Were arrested for stealing a
tub and its contents from >. w. SissOn.
In court this morning Moran said that no
stole the tub and its contents ard Rice had
nothing 10 do with IL. A fine look of ed
miration overspread Rice S face as he real
lied the noble self-sacrifce of his "pard, T"
but the light of his countenance failed
when he g-asped the idea that IL he went
free and Moran went To Jail two weary
months of solitude were before him. He
couldn't bear IL, and making his way TO
the bar he looked at the judge fearlesly
and said that he took the tub and its con-
tents. A melodramatic CLEAN shone in his
eye MS he glanced at his comrade. 1t said
as plainly as words: "Im wild yer
"Did you steal it?" asked Judge Sweet
land.
mo" said Rice, "it was a small tub and
one man could carry it, but was with
him.
And so Moran and Rice were taken to
Jail.
If the case had come TO trial the con-
tents of the tub would have to be proven,
and as there was some doubt as To whether
il was butter or oleo margarine, "A burden
was removed by the steadfastness of the
two friends.
The difficulty of the situation will be
best appreciated by that large class of
citizens who have been in doubt as TO
whether they have been eating the pro-
duct of the dairy or the factory for sew
eral years past.
It's a cute chap who can take ball of
oleo with its seductive insignia Of cow
land and declare with u convincing de-
gree of certainty, that it was not inn
ported from South Water street. The
judge and the other officials were aware
that they had escaped n hard days work
by "a narrow margin. The outcome of
this episode I'm court Is that tho contents
of the tub will never be known so far as
Moran and Rice are concerned, because
when they get out of Jail, tubs and their
contents will be lodged by them forever.
