pared with the mortgages recorded in thir-
teeen counties. In 1897 1881 per cent. of the

Washington, April Fin the course

the Associated Press, Mustapha Bey, the
Turkish minister, said
ut is true that some trouble has Oc-
cured at Tokal, but the dispatches have
greatly exaggerated the affair. The vail
of Sivas has received formal orders TO
detect at any cost the perpetrators and to
punish the guilty ones to the utmost cX-
tent of the law.
THE Armenian revolutionists are now
seeking in every way to provoke the dis
turbance at different parts of the empire,
with view to increasing the embarrass-
ments of the Turkish government, owing
to the affairs in Greece and Crete. The
authorities have been urged to watch day
and night, and they are not likely to give
rise to any disturbance among the Chris
tians."

Vice President Stevenson as commission
ers to an international monetary confer
ence.
These appointments are made under

ment for bimetalism," and its provisions
do not require confirmation. 1t has been
generally conceded that Senator VOL
colt was to be the chairman.
Senator Wolcott is serving his second
term in the senate, having been elected
to that place in 1895. While a pro-
nOunced bimetallist, he was staunch
supporter of the st. Louis ticket.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson, the DEM
ocratic member of the commission. has
been generally known as an advocate of
bimetallism and was q staunch support
er of Bryan and the Chicago platform.
He and Senator Wolcott, however, are
said to be in accord on the financial ques-
ton.
Gen. Charles ]. Paine, who may be
termed the minority member. is a re-
publican and was Mckinley man. He
is one of the most prominent business
men of Massachusetts and is said to be
student of the financial question.
While he is classed as a supporter of
bimetallism based on international agree
ment, he is regarded as allied to the
sound money faction. He is a graduate
of Harvard, being member of the class

ITALY'S CRETAN POLICY
Stated by Premier di Rudini-Very
Liberal Towards Crete.

bIDeTaI tONdTuF NTetSs
Rome. April 12.-This was the fourth
day of the debate in the chamber of depu-
ties on the policy of the government to-
wards Crete and Greece. and the house
was throngcd. Baron SonninO, who was
minister of finance in the Crispi cabinet
commended the action of the concert of
the powers. the utility and Importance of
which, he claimed, was fully recognized.
At the same time the speaker thought
Italy should take the negative in permit
ting Greece to escape from the impasse
in which she found herself.
The Marquis d Rudini, the premier
and minister of the interior, during the
course of a long speech, pointed out that
a vote approving of the policy of the gov
eminent would not signify opposition to
Greece, but would be in favor of liberty,
justice and the balance of the power in
the Mediterranean. thus to preserve the
peace of the world.
Referring to the instructions sent to
Admiral Carnarvo. the premier said that
they might be summed up:
Italy can not undertake police duty
for anybody, but the interests of Italy
and the Mediterranean compel her to re-
main with the concert of the powers"
Dangers of the moment are grave, he
added, and Italy will cooperate in main
tanning the equilibrium of the powers.
In conclusion the Marquis di Rudini
said:
I'VE interviewed in Crete with the sole
object of being useful to the population of
that island, and we are fully conscious of
our duty" (Applause)
A vote of confidence in the government
was then passed

SENSATIONAL REMARKS.
Indicating That Trouble Between
England and TransvaaI Will
Vary Likely 0ccur


London, April 12.-The sDeech of the
first lord of the admiralty. George j.
Goshen, at the farewell banquet rendered
on Saturday to Sir Alfred Miner. the
newly appointed high commissioner of
Great Britain in South Africa, has pro-
ducod great sensation, and the immi-
nence of war between Great Britain and
the Transvaal is the common talk of the
street.
Referring to the presence of British
blue jackets and marines in South Afri-
ca. Mr.. Goshen said:
"They are to represent Sir Alfred Mil
ner. British representative. the British
power in South Africa.
''They are to guarantee to him and to
our c0lOnists, to the loyal men who sup
port British rule. that this country is de-
ternined to maintain its supremacy in
those quarters, and that it will back its
commissioner with the power of the
British empire"
A dispatch from Cape Town today con-
firms the report, apparently. of the dis
patch of the British war vessel to Della
goa bay. The British warship Raccoon
sailed today from Cape Town under
sealed orders. The officials there refuse
to divulge her destination, but 1t is
rumOred that she is bound for DelagOa
bay, and the report is generally believed.
1t was semi-Ofiicially announced this af-
tern0on that the British troops going to
South Africa are merely intended to re-
lieve the regiments already there. which
are bound for home at the expiration OF
their term.

Raiders Likely Had COnfederates.


London, April 12.-The Times will print
tomorrow the following from its Athens
correspondent:
Several persons here doubt whether
the raiders have done the cause of HELEN
ism any real service. 1t is not eXplicable
how the Ethnike Hetaria forces continue
their operations without any base. Their
number alone requires that they receive
constant supplies of provisions and NUM-
tions of war 1t is highly probable that
they will soon find themselves in an eX-
tremely critical condition. Should they
succeed in the advance into Macedonia,
the army will insist upon following.
Should they fail then, their defeat must
be avenged.
Greece, he added. in the present state
of her finances, could not maintain an
army of $4,000 men under arms any
length of time without enormous sacri-
fees, SO that if there is to be fighting ii
must come Immediately. The govern
ment, forewarned by the Armenian mas
sacre, has been saving for the last two
years. and up to this point has not been
compelled TO have recourse to the money
market The rate of exchange therefore
has not risen and there Is no intention OF
increasing the amount of forced currency.
Nevertheless additional funds must be
provided Immediately, and an interna-
tiona loan is proposed II will probably
be covered. The government has no news
from the frontier of later date than yes
terday evening, and the inference froI
this is that everything is quiet.

Elassonia, April 12.-The Turkish staff
officer who was sent to Krania by Edhem
Pasha, to ascertain definitely with respect
to the invasions, says that the regulars
among the invaders have been positively
proven and that there is good reason to
believe the Greek officers of that regular
army were in command. ~a
He states further that the bands lie
hidden during the day and sally forth at
night to fire upon the Turkish troops. The
report of the staff officer in question has
been wired to Constantinople and reply
is anxiously awaited.
