THE POWERS IN CONTROL.

London, March 26.-The government
announces that the internal forces in
Crete have occupied the town of Malaxa,
which was the scene of fighting between
the Turkish garrison and the Cretan in
surgents yesterday and later taken by
the latter, the garrison having found the
place untenable. The grounds for this
action as stated are that the admirals
commanding the joint fleet of the powers
in Cretan waters regarded the occupation
of the town by either Turks or Greeks
as menacing to the Europeans occupying

had chance at him. He could not even

 The commissioners and inspectors ap- pointed to collect the soldiers vote from Connecticut are most of them dead. The Norwich Record says: The late Captain o. P. Wattles of Norwich Town was sent twice to the headquar- ters of General Grant by Governor W. A. Buckingham to learn the location of the troops and to collect the ballots in company with other officers from Con- necticut. As before noted in the Rec ord, Hon. Benjamin Beecher, in 1864 city treasurer of New Haven, was a trusted officer from this state. Hon. Asa Smith of Norwalk, Captain Jesse c. Maynard of the Twenty sixth Con- necticut regiment and Edward Cropsy, reporter for the New York World, were in Washington on the night of the grand Mcclellan parade, which came very near causing bloodshed There were twenty three commissioners and inspectors lined up in the office of Ed win M. Stanton, secretary of war, on the morning of the 12th of october, 1884 We received orders and proceeded to Baltimore, leaving Washington by train at a. m Captain Maynard was sent to the Shenandoah valley, where he found not only votes and United States soldiers but upon his attempt to return to Baltimore a company ot Mosby Bushwhackers" interviewed him and all he had left, after the acquaintance he made with the Rough Riders was a straw hat, a shirt and par of pant aloons. Captain Maynard had one hun- dred dollars and a good uniform when he left the writer in Baltimore. Up to the time of his death he was always looking after "an opportunity to get square with old Mosby." The rest of the party except Captain Wattles went direct to Fortress Monroe by steamer, which was loaded with officers, soldiers, war material and nurses to help take care of the wounded.

 There are plenty of other ways to present a showy appearance out of doors.

L4E EflR RIGYGLIST IFS.

Justice Davy of the New York Su- esting to bicyclists in deciding the case of Baldwin vs. the Fraternal Accident Association of America. The plaintiff, who carried an accident policy of the company named, was badly injured by falling from his bicycle in 1894, and as result was incapacitated from pursu- ing his ordinary occupation for over a year. He sued the company to recover twenty dollars per week for the period of one year The company contested the claim on two grounds. One was that under the terms of the policy the plaintiff was pledged to submit the question of damages to arbitration in the event of disagreement with the company, and this he did not consent to do. The other was that the policy provided that if the plaintiff should be injured while engaged temporarily or otherwise in any occupation or expos ure classified as more hazardous than demnity should be at the rate only of the more hazardous occupation. If the conpany's claim on this latter point were conceded the plaintiffs compen- sation for the period of his disability would be at the rate of only ten dollars per week.
 On both points Justice Davy ruled in favor of the plaintiff. In the first he held that no private agreement look ing to arbitration could extinguish the plaintiffs right of appeal to the courts In the second he dismissed as untena- ble the theory that bicycling as prac- ticed by the ordinary citizen is an lex tra hazardous" occupation, deciding that the word Occupation as used in the policy referred to mans regular business or calling, and did not cover a The clause in the policy under which the company fought the claim specially excludes bicycle riders from the ordi- nary benefits of the policy, as follows: Insured persons accidentally injured while engaged in polo, baseball games or bicycling shall receive only the in demnity provided for such games--an indemnity of the lower class" In re- gard to this Justice Davy said: Tt seems to me that a person who only rides a bicycle occasionally for conven- fence and pleasure is not a bicyclist within the meaning of said policy The mere fact that a man rides a bicycle occasionally for pleasure does not make him by occupation a professional bicy- clist The clause in the policy evident " has reference to those who are pro- fessional bicyclists, and make their liv- ing by racing on the wheel. These are close and interesting questions, how ever; but in reaching these conclusions have given the agreement expressed in the certificate or policy of insurance liberal and, what seems to me, a req sonable and fair construction

 The chief trouble, however is in the man or woman who misuses the horse, the wheel, the yacht, the fishhook, or good roads, One may as well discour- age fish diet or the making of good country or city roads as to open cam paign against the special instruments that facilitate Sabbath-breaking. There is no more immoral steel or rub Der about bicycle in use on Sunday than on Monday. A war upon the wheel as a wheel is sure to expose the warrior to ridicule. Such campaign is through the intelligence and con- science of riders. It is easy to see that some men on wheels on Sunday may be in better state of mind or soul or morals than some others who go on foot. The sole test is in the intent and spirit of the rider. Every person can judge for himself, but Is not a final and authoritative tribunal for others. Some people abstain from walking out on Sunday lest they should seem to iden- tify themselves with others who do their own pleasure on Gods day. The Bible contains prohibition for those who go with the multitude to do evil If Christian man has a legitimate errand of mercy on Sunday he is as much entitled to ride on the wheel as he Is to walk"

THE BLESSINGS OF FREE TRADE.

THE BLESSINGS OF FREE IRADE.
 Many of the people of New South Wales got a notion that they would like free trade. Their notion prevailed. and year ago free trade began opera tions among them. And as soon as Sydney became a free port it was crowded with ships from every part of the globe, and principally from Eng land America and Germany, flooding the place with cheap and In most cases poor goods, in the face of which the local manufacturer was helpless. He had to watch his trade falling off every day. He started by reducing wages, then by discharging hands and finally by closing his factory. This happened in dozens of cases in the short period of twelve months.
 Protectionist Victoria didn't find any fault with New South Wales for giv- ing her chance to enlarge her mark ets.'' Her manufacturers never had such a prosperous year. On one hun dred manufactured articles the Victo- rians had an increase in value of over $So0,0oO as compared with 1895, and they are hoping that New South Wales will not tire of giving them business and money. But as the leading protection ist in New South Wales was recently returned at the head of the poll in an election for federal convention dele gates, beating the premier and insti- gator of the free trade policy by over 30, 1000 votes, it is probable that the Vic- torians will soon lose their ''cinch,"
