Might Be a Good Idea.

London, March 12.-The Daily News
viii tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Canea saying that it would be of the
greatest advantage if the powers
would formally proclaim to the Gre
tans the fact that they had determined
to establish an autonomous govern
ment for the island Most of the in
habitants are not aware of the inten-
ton Of the powers. The few isolated
chiefs of the insurgents who have
learned that Turkish rule in the is
land is to be brought to an end have
declared their Joyous acceptance of the
scheme of the powers.

sUbstantiated what I said this morn
ing. 1t was very easy to see that the
action of the senate in bringing Mr..
Babcock here was for the purpose of
whitewashing him and condemning
me. 1 am Indifferent TO what the
senators have seen fit to do, and 1 stand
indicated on the reiterated statement
of Mr.. Babcock.
Mr.. Babcock remarked that it was
not alone because ] had voted for the
public servants bill that he refused
me the favor, but because of my gen
eral opposition to corporations which
he had observed. This is the highest
honor / have ever been paid. 1t is a
proud day in my life when the hire
ling of a corporation says he refuses
me a favor because 1 oppose the mo-
nopoly he represents. l can now feel
that I have not betrayed my trust or
my constituents. 1 prize this above
all other compliments, and will be-
qUeath it to my children as a hertz
age or honor. 1 do not fear the cor
porate power, because 1 feel that the
mass of the people is behind me and
will sustain me in my course"

New York, March 12.-An important
mass meeting of the Greeks of this
city was held tonight in Chickering
hall.
1t was called by Demtorios n.
Botassi, the Greek consul general, for
the purpose of expressing sympathy
for Cretans and to devise means to
raise funds to transport the Greek re-
serves in this country to the Levant-
Chickering hall was crowded with
the sympathiZers of Greece, and there
was great applause at the various ex-
pressionS of sentiments on behalf of the
Cretans.
President Seth Lowe. of Columbia
university. presided. and in opening the
meeting said that the primary object OF
the meeting was to arouse interest In
the condition of the Cretan refugees in
Greece.
TT is hoped" he said that when the
facts are fully understood the Ameri-
can people will be willing to contribute
literally to help the people of Greece
to carry this heavy and unusual bur-
den.
His blood must run cold indeed that
has not been stirred by the action of
little Greece in rushing to the assist
that the reliance of Greece in this en-
terprise is not upon the strength of
her own arms, but upon the justice of
the cause. She may safely appeal to
the considerable Judgment of mankind
for the sanction of her undertaking.
The civilized world has small conf
dence in a European concert that mas
been able TO maintain the peace, but has
not been able to preserve the Armeni-
ans from being masSacred by the
thousands. 1 venture TO say that
at least almost without ex-
ception, are glad that whatever be-
&C mes of Greece or Crete the expert
ence of Armenia shall not be repeated
in Crete while Greece is able to protest.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that she
shall not have accepted these risks
nor poured out her blood and treasur
les in vain. Her appeal is TO the public
opinion of the civilized world, and we,
in America, would be false to ourselves,

A transom sur1nounting one of the
doors of the ante-room was half ajar.
A stool stood by the transom and
someone arose upon the stool. The
sounds waited through clear and flute

Mr.. Babcock admitted that he had
refused TO give a pass to Senator Har-
bour. 1t was not the first time he
had refused to give a pass. When he
did give them, however, it was not for

A WHITE ELEPHANT.

1t is reported that, with the closing of
the doors and transoms, the silence
that again settled over the chamber
was more sepulchral than before. The
senators looked dumbly at each other,
and large beads of purple sweat
dripped down from-the forelock of Sen
ator Evans. Someone half rose, as if
to make motion for adjournment,
but again Gained himself and no words
warbled their way into the parched 81

manager seemed to expand and elon-

FISH AND GAME.
The much-dabated fish and game bill
again obtruded itself with another
house amendment appended to it. The
bill had been previously passed by
both houses, and Smoot contended that
the attachment OF another amendment
at such a time was irregular, and in
consistent. He was willing, however,
to see it pass with the new amendment,
as he considered the amendment a good
one and one that the house ought to
have embodied in the bill before it
