PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
Christians and MOslems i'm Crete Are
MassinE Against Each other.

Athens, Feb. S.-Advices received here
to-day from Canea say that the Greek
squadron has arrived at that place and
that upon it's arrival it failed to salute the
Turkish flag, according to custom. The Of
ficer in command of the British warships
at Canea paid a visit to the commander of
the Greek vessels Immediately upon their
arrival.
Dispatches also say that the Christians
and Mosems at Retimo, Crete,ar massng
in opposition to one another and making
all preparations for battle.
A dispatch from Canea states that the
union of Crete and Greece was proclaim
ed al Halepa. yesterday.
II is possible that cabinet crisis may
follow the popular manifestation made
here yesterday in favor of the annexation
of Crete.
London, Feb. SIN the House
of Commons to-day Rt. Hon.
George N. Curzon, under secretary
for foreign affairs, stated that rumors of
a massacre in Crete were unfounded 1t
was true there had been some firing there,
but the loss of life had peen small. Dur
ing the firing, he said the Turkish troops
are reported to have conducted themselves
in an exemplary manner, and there was
practically no plundering.
Mr.. Curzon said the 5000 refugees had
embarked from Canea and that place was
now reported perfectly quiet.
AS there had been scarcity of food Ie-
ported at Canea, the admiral in command
of the British Mediterranean squadron
had sent troopship with biscuits and
meat sufficient to feed 1000 persons for
fortnight Two thousand refugees were
on board the British warships at Canea,
Mr.. Curzon said, and the lost of the fugi-
tives were taken off by the Green war
vessels.
Berlin, Feb. S.--A large number of the
German newspapers, in their comments
on the Cretan situation, declare that war
between Greece and Turkey is almost in
evitable.

met in Chicago Monday. Thirty two
States wore represented ut the meet.
ing. Ex.Congressman Charles

der said in part:
Our motives are these: We de-
siro above Rll things OF immediate
political concern, the speedy re-es-
tablishment in the United States OF
true bimctallism the same privilege
OF free coinage mt the mint for both
gold and silver. and absolute equality
between them in all money powor,
when coined with the option to every
payer, whether the Government or al
individual, to choose what basis
shall be tho bnsis OF payment in
every inst lnce. We will do all in
our power to advance this happy
contamination, and we realize that il
this great cause is to succeed in the
election Of 1893 and 1900 it can do so
only through the addition to the nj
lied armies Of G,OOO,O 900 that followed
the banner Of joint standard in 1896
Of at least some hundreds Of thous-
ands OF the Republicans Of TINT con
test. We have other plans, or may
have. and we believe i'll other things
also. but the restoration IA basis oi
primary money along with gold is
the first and cngroRsing object OF our
activities nnd shall remain so until
the crescent OF promise shall have
rounded into the full orb OF SUCCESS.
The general method OF our pro.
cedure will be TINT demanded by the
depths of our convictions and the
dominant importance Of the issue
that has moscd us. With us the
cause Is everything. Men and part
les sink into relative inconscguencc.
All armics marching to invest the cit :
idel OF the gold standard are our al
lies. and their soldiers our comrades.
We will Loyalty and tirclessly cooper.
nte with all other organized forms OF
bimetallism that honestly profess the
faith and rcsClutely and undeyiat-
ingly keep it. Harmony il OF vital
concern to tho success Of tho cause
and nothing hut consideration Of its
welfare shall limit the burdens we
will gladly bear or the sacrifices we
will eagerly make to advance it. But
tho sincerity wo offer We shnll nlso
require"
Although nothing was fully deter.
mined upon. II general plan OF or
ganization was outlined by the lead
