ATHENS, Feb. 14.-It is evident the
Grecian Government has taken seri-
Gus step in sending troops to Crete for
the purpose of protecting the Christ
ians. A force consisting of a regiment
of infantry, battery and artillery, en-
barked at Piraeus yesterday, on board
three steamers.
There was a scene of great enthu-
siasm before the departure of the
troops. Crown Prince Constantine, the
Duke of Sparta, reviewed the men and,
addressing them said: Officers and
men: Remember where you are going,
and that they are Hellenes."
The troops then marched past in the
presence of the Queen, the Crown
Princess and an immense crowd. The
Crown Prince, with his staff. was at
the head of the men and conducted
them to the railway station at Athens,
en- route for the port of Piraeus, the
populace meanwhile cheering for
Crete, the army and the royal family.
Similar scenec of enthusiasm were
also witnessed during the embarkation
of the soldiers. The arrival of trans
ports has already been reported from
the Island of Milo. The troops con-
tinued on their voyage Immediately
and it was expected they would reach
Canea to-day. 1t is rumored they will
virtually occupy the island without de-
lay. All of the Grecian newspapers
hail the departure of the troops with
expressions of delight. There is much
activity at the palance. King George
personally directs affairs connected
with the crisis
Prince Nicholas has started for Lar
isso Thessaly, with the Third Artillery
Regiment.
It is stated the British Admiral COM
manding in the Cretan waters has or
ders to prevent any collision at sea
between the Greeks and Turks.
Prince George arrived at Canea yes
terday. He received a visit from the
Later he returned to Milo with the
flotilla.
The foreign Ministers at Athens met
at the French legation for the purpose
of considering the situation. 1t is be-
lieved they decided to address further
representations to the Grecian Govern
ment, which, replying to their recent
statements. declared the Government,
having full knowledge of the situation,
had not hesitated to assume the whole
responsibility for the measures it had
taken.
The reserves of 1S93-4 classes have
been called out
Grecian officers started for Crete who
have been recalled at the last moment
and ordered to rejoin their regiments,
have resigned their commissions and
have issued manifesto explaining that
they are leaving the army in order to
fight for their brethren in Crete.
The report is current at Canea that
the Turkish authorities. considering
that resistance to the cause of the
Christians in Crete is hopeless, have re-
quasted the foreign commanders to oc-
cupy the town. The commanders of
the men-of-W have referred the sub
ject matter to their respective Gov
ernments and asked for instructions.
A steamer arrived at the Island of
Syria last night, with 100 refugees who
left Gambia on the advice of the COM
mander of the Greek warship and the
foreign Consuls there.

THE PoLYGLoTs.

The article on "A Polyglot Com
munity," by DIR. Andrews, deals
with a subject that is of no small
moment to this country. There
may be countries contain
ing Il more heterogeneous pop
ulatiOn than ours. but there are
comparatively few in which the
question of race or color cut so
little figure in business and social
life. The question often arises
in many minds as to what sort of
a resultant will be obtained from
the racial forces we have here.
According to census returns the
Hawaiian seems destined to fol-
low the fate of aboriginal races,
with the exception, that instead
of being killed out it will fade out
liiouSh uHlOH WIFI DOlu the
-Asiatic and the whites. 1t is not
probable that there will be a ply
steal amalgamation of these races
since experience tells us that the
Eurasian is short lived. and the
line dies out quickly. The prob
lem then seems to be whether
the Asiatic and European will
each give and take little, there
by breaking down sharp lines of
prejudice, and become united un-
der the customs of what we con
slider advanced civilization. The
history of this country thus far
seems to indicate that the Asia
tic will in time come into line.
that he will accept European
methods, education and social
customs. The Chinese children
born and reared in Hawaii offer
examples in support of this
theory. The Japanese children
have yet to be heard from.

JAPAN WILL 60 EASY.

The immigration question has
stirred the yernacular press OF
Japan to the fighting pitch. They
probably voice the popular senti-
ment of the country, and popular
sentiment does not as rule take
much stock in diplomacy. The for
eign press of the country, how
ever. takes conservative view
recognizing that Japan must go
slowly or it will be forced TO deal
with the United States.
From the accounts given in the
Japan papers. the notice that the
United States had despatched the
Philadelphia to this port had a
very quieting effect. When Japan
saw the powerful arm of the Uni
ted States loom up as a protecting
barrier about Hawaii. the politi-
cal leaders came to the very sen
sible conclusion that this immi-
grafton question was a matter to
settle by diplomacy rather than
by war ships.
The Japan Gazette, doubtless
edited by gentleman of British
proclivities. wants TO know what
business the United States has in
Hawaii anyway 1t admits. how
ever, that what the Japan Gaz-
cite or Japan considers right
plays a very insignificant part in
the actions of nations, "and the
fact remains that the United
States regard Hawaii with jeal-
Gus affection. They will not toll
crate any aggression fromsoutside
powers. and if Japan has suffered
she must obtain reparadon by the
pacific process of diplomacy. or
face the chances of war with one
of the greatest people of the
globe"
. There can be no doubt that the
American representative in Jap
an has kept his Government in
formed. and that the people in
Washington know more today
about Japan's course of action
than we do. Reports concerning
the Japanese warships are con
fiieting. It.Iooks very much as

governments. They have worked
hard and deserve an immense
amount of credit. But the dis
agreeable fact remains, that we

which goes to show that Hawaii
may grant as many franchises as
1t pleases, but nothing. will be
accomplished until the United
States takes positive action. Ha-
wall has discovered that in this
cable business the tail cannot
wag the dog. Consequently the
people are disposed to swallow
their conceit and request the Gov
eminent to hang out new sign

some relative has a lucrative posi-
ton, and no interruption occurs
in the regular flow of cash divi-
dends.
But have not the voters a re-
sponsibility which they cannot
shirk by putting the burdens of
responsibility for governmental
action ON few over worked of
ficials? Can we justly complain
of a lack of of public sentiment
if we are doing nothing To en-
tighten or cultivate it. simply
waiting for providential develop
ments TO rouse TO the considera-
ton of matters of public welfare,
or call TO definite and united ac-
ton? The present apathy in re-
gard to the individual discharge
of the duties of good citizenship
may be owing to the uncertainty
in some quarters in regard to
the perpetuity of the present
Government. Or the utter
lack of discussion of other
topics than annexation may indi-
cate the healthy state of the com
munity that needs no dosing with
Alternative pellets or purgative
