PHILADELPHIA, March s--John D.
Hart, who was several days ago CON
yicted of aiding In the fitting out Of
ilibusterinF expedition on the steamer
Laurada, was sentenced By Judge But
Ter to two years imprisonment and 10
pay fine of $500 and costs of prosecu-
ton.
Prior to passing the sentence the
court refused the motion for new
trial made last week by Hart's counsel,
Hart received his sentence calmly,
but when he subquently tHet his wife
in the Office of the United States
marshal where he was in custody and
she threw her arms around him
and wept, he was overcome
with emotion, lie sooH regained
his composure, however, Hart
will remain in the custody Of the maf=

some legal steps being taken by his
counsel whereby his $1,000 bail upon
which he was released after conviction)
can be continued pending an appeal of
the case to the United States circuit

evidence and that the expedition as
managed by Hart was military one

SIX HUNDRED IDLE.


CHICAGO, March s.-The number of
plasterers and hodcarries who went out
on strike against a reduction of wages
was not as large as expected owing to
the fact that number of con-
tractors repudiated the orders of
the Employing Plasterers' associa-
ton and agreed to continue pay
ing the scale of wages demanded
by the plasterers and laborers. Accord
ing to the most authentic figures obtain
able the trouble affects only 900 men
Five hundred of these are laborers and
400 plasterers. The contractors VINO have
agreed to pay the union scale employ
about 500 men, which would leave 500
idle workmen. This number will be
materially decreased, it is said.
Officers of the striking organizations
said that they had no fear of the out
come. and that they expected the
trouble would be all over in a day or
two. The scale which the Employing
Plasterers association wished the men
to sign provides that the plasterers
wages shall be reduced from S.. so to
So. so per day, and the laborers from

A CRISIS AVERTED.



by Prince HohenlOhe.
BERLIN, March s.-Prince Hohenlohe,
imperial chancellor addressed the
budget committee of the reichstag upon
the subject of the governmental demands
for an extra credit to be devoted to in
creasing the strength of the navy.
The chancellor explained that the
immediate bearing of the declarations
made by Admiral Holman, the chief
Of the German admiralty, in his speech
before the budget committee last week,
in regard to the increase Of the effec-
tive strength of the navy, and demand
ing extra credits for that purpose
had been misunderstood. Admiral
Hollman's statement, the chan
cellor said, did not imply that the gov
ernment had bill prepared providing
for an increase of the naval strength,
but was directed toward what was
material to the strength of the navy.
Germany certainly required such an
increase of her fleet as Admiral
Holman had intimated, but the time
in which such navy as he had
outlined could be created depended
upon the financial position of the adj
miralty and the will of the reichstag.
The statement made by the chancellor
was received by thep ,aRnmittee by
many manifestations of approval, and
the threatened crisis over the naval es-
Inmates has clearly been averted.

CRETAN AUTONOMY.
A Question Over Which the Pow
ers Seem to Disagree.
GERMANY AND RUSSIA ON ONE SIDE
Propose Limited Constitutional Rights for
the Cretans England, France and
Italy Are in Favor of Almost
Entire Autonomy
How Much Autonomy?

BERLIN, March S,-The differences as
to the amount Of autonomy to be az
corded to Crete follow the divergent
lines of the policy seen in the early
Gracco-Cretan negotiations. The Ger
man and Russian governments propose
limited constitutional rights for the
Cretans with large tribute to
the porte and a gcndarmeric. one
fourth of which should be Moslem.
The governor-general, according to
these pSwers should be nominated at
Constantinople, under the approval of
the powers. The English, French and
Italian governments, on the other
hand, propose almost entire au-
tonomy, the governor to be elected
by the Cretan assembly, which would
be elected by something like pop
ular suffrage and have full control
of the gendarmerie and other matters
relating to internal order A plebiscite
on the question of union with Greece
was secuted at Berlin probably because
1t was believed that no honest plcbis-
cite was possible in Crete, The with
drawal of all Turkish troops insisted
on by Lord Salisbury, has not been
viewed as absolutely necessary or adj
viSahle there.
