CANEA. Feb. 26-The insurgents in the
vicinity of Canea began firing on the town
Gespite the warnings that had been given.
The firing was kept up for some time, where
upon the admiras of the foreign fleets be-
gan throwing shells into the insurgents
camp. A British cruiser was the first of the
warships to open fire, vessels Of the other
nations following in succession. Forty
shells were fired. In about ten minutes the
Greek flag was hauled down, and as soon as
it disappeared the order 'cease firing was
given. and the guns Of the fleet i'm
mediately became silent. Thereupon the
flag was again hoisted on its staff. The
rocks in the vicinity were crowded with
Cretans. The Mussulmans. encouraged and
emboldened by the assistance that had been
given to them by the fleets OF Christian Eu-
rope began n lively fusi ade against the Gre
tans. who were engaged in removing their
wounded. The Christians were evidently
dispirited by the action of the fleets and
made no attempt to return the fire. The
action of the foreign warships has caused
the deepest Indignation here, and the sup
porters of the Sultan are bitterly denounced
on all sides. 1t is declared that the powers
In upholding Aloslcm rule by force of arms
have made melancholy and degrading
spectacle that Greece will never forget.

ATHENS. Greece, Feb 2G,-King George
of Greece is the son of Christian IN, king of
Denmark. who has furnished consorts for
half the royal houses of Europe. He was
born in 1915, and under his baptismal name,
William, was serving in the Danish navy,
when, at the age of 10, he was selected to
rule the little kingdom of Greece. King
George sits upon the throne by the selection
Of Great Britain, France and Russia. In Octo-
Der. 1863. he succeeded King Ohio, who, when
he returned from ten days yachting trip
with his queen in October, 1862, found his sub
jects had decided they wanted u change of
rulers and would not let him land. As the
Greeks are II seafaring race, and the men
are held to military service for 10 years,
two of which must be in the regular army,
King George has Il small but seasoned army
and navy. He stands ms the guardian of
Christianity at the gateway to the Mos
lem empire. He has boldly attempted to
reverse history, and conquer fromthe Turks
one of the ancient possessions OF the Gre
clan empire Whatever his rooi reason
may be for planting his standard on Cretan
soil, whether to rescue Christians from OPP
preston or add to his territory, he is favora-
bly, situated to involve all his own and his
wifes relations, representing nearly every
ruling house in Europe.

ST. PETERSBURG. Russia, Feb. 26-Rus-
STA, it is said. will forcibly expel the Greek
torpedo tlotilla from CIetan waters, disarm
the Cir, ei troops in Crete and blockade the
Greek coasts. II the Hellenic government
persists in its imprudent attitude. If
Greece goes to wir, therefore, with
Turkey, she will be left to fight
her battles alone. II this Is true,
il Russia is really prepared to take hostile
action against Greece, King George will
have to moderate his pretensions very ma.
terialy. OF all the great powers, Russia is
the one that is most likely to follow word
with blow for the protection of her inter-
ests in connection with Turkey. And she
has avery heavy hand. In curbing Greece,
Russia could probably count upon the active
support OF Austria and Germany, and upon
the sympathy If not the assistance, of France.
As for Great Britain and Italy, they would
in al likelihood II topt an attitude OF strict
neutrality. However they might sympathize
with G,eeca. they would not embroil them
selves with Russia in her behalf. If the czar
has really decided to force Greece to aban-
don the occupation Of Crete, the little Hell
lenic kingdom will haveto draw In its horns.

ATHENS, Greece, Feb. PA Canea dis.
patch states that three of the great powers
are in favor of union between Crete and
Greece King George will appeal to the
Hellenic race for great national loan to meet
the expenses of the military and naval prep
arations which on the part Of Greece con-
tinue. The King openly favors resistance to
the demands of the powers. The Temps OF
Paris says, that the powers are resolved to
speak firmly to the government at Athens,
solely from fidelity to the tradition that
France and Great Britain wish to en-
haust all means Of cancellation before
consenting to the other measures so
urgently demanded by the courts allied to
the Greek dynasty. The London Times
condemns Colonel Vassos, commander of the
Greek corps of occupation in Crete, for
taking the offensive and attacking the
Turkish outposts at Patana 1t says
that if King George encourages Colonel VAS
sos he will have to reckon with the powers.
British ironclad has prevented the steamer
Junon from debarking provisions intended
for the use of the Greek troops in Crete.
Lord Salisbury has sent a circular note to
the powers favorn; the granting of auton-
omy to Crete. with Il prince of Greece to

Upon motion of Bachman, seconded by

Mr.. Brennan submitte | an ordinance
for another extension of the railroad
from Second up Front street to Third
street and down Third street TO
Montgomery. The ordinance was ac-
ompanied by the necessary consent OF
property owners. The extension was
opposed by Wood and Bachma on the
ground that both Front and Third
streets are too narrow for railroad
track and accidents would certainly re-
suit. The ordinance was referred to
Council as Conn mittee of the Whole.
The Engineer was instructed to give

LIFE IN A LIGHTHOUSE.
1t Calls for Censeless Watching and
Patient Heroism.

PattCnt herO1sm.
Lieut.. John NJ. Ellicott, U. S. N, con-
tributes to st. Nicholas an article about
lighthouses, which he calls THE Lights
That Guide in the Night" Lieut.. Eli
colt says: One seldom thinks, when he
watches the brightly cheering and safe
ly guiding light of o lighthouse, what
ceaseless watching and patient heroism
it takes to keep the light burning year
in and year out through all weathers.
Generally there is for each light only Il
keeper with two assistants, and often
the keeper is assisted only by his wife,
sons or daughters. Even the most COM
fortably situated lighthouses are gem
orally on lonely headlands, with no hu-
man dwellings near. Others are on out
living rocks, or islands swept by the
sea, and wholly cut off from land eY-
cept in fair weather. There are even
few which, built upon sunken reefs,
seem to rise from the very bed OF the
ocean, and against which storm-driven
seas break with shocks which shake
them to their foundations. Such are
the Eddystone lighthouse, off the coast
of England at the entrance to the Eng
lsh channel, and our own M!nots
Ledge light, near the entrance TO Bos.
ton harbor. These two are the most
isolated and exposed lighthouses in the
world. They were built at the utmost
peril to human life. Each was swept
away by storms after completion, and
had to be rebuilt.
