London. March 9.--The Times in an edi-
torlal this morning upon the reply OF
Greece to the powers says that she advances
convincing argument why they should not
execute their threats OF coercion.
The Daily News thinks the reply fur
nishes a reasonable basis for further nego-
tiatioDs.
II is stated that Admiral Canaveno Of the
Italian feet IN command Of the combined
squadrons. proposed as a first step In the
event Of negative reply from Greece thai
all the powers should recall their minis-
tiers from Athens.
Probably it would not be decided to en-
force peaceful blockade applying only tc
vessels under the Greek nag. These would
not be confscated. but detained only Until
the blockade was raised. Much is hoped
in the way OF solution OF the difficult,

The Yellow Fever Outbreak.

Later reports from the yellow fever
past few days the approach of cooler
weather, together with the fact that the
fever had been far less virulent than
usual, was assurance that the epidemic
would be of short duration and beyond
a slight stagnation of business would
prove one of the least injurious of any
outbreak that has occurred. By the
middle of last week about $50 cases
only had been brought to the attention
of the Marine hospital service at Wash
ington and the death rate had been
only about fivesper cent as compared
with the rate of ten per cent in the out
break in Jacksonville nine years ago.
Considering how the disease has
spread and the fact that there have
been cases that We're not reported
promptly it seems probable that the
fever being mild form at first, was
not subjected to such vigorous meas
ures as should have been employed
The report Friday from New Orleans
gave the death rate at Is per cent which
is more virulent than is reported from
other places. There seems, however.
no good reason to anticipate a long
continuance of the epidemic, though it
is probable that it will seriously inter-
fere with the exceptionally prosperous
deed it has done so already and moth
ing short of a frost will speedily re-
store a normal tone.

More kuddIs in New York.

The decision of General Tracy to &C
cept the Republican nomination for
mayor Of Greater New York increases
rather than reduces the muddle in the
political situation. In 1881, the Repub-
licans of Brooklyn thought General
Tracy would make a good mayor but
he withdrew to make way for Seth Low.
His official distinction has come
through appointive not through cleo
tive office. In fact he never proved a
great vote getter. AS everyone knows
he has filled those positions with credit
to himself and to those who put him
there. 1t is generally conceded that he
would make an excellent mayor of
New York. The talk about his being
seryile to Plat because Of their re-
lations through law firm can have no
great weight. General Tracy has been
an admirable official, upright AMI
straightforward and when he was sec
rotary of the navy he offended the
Brooklyn machine because of his strict
adherence to civil service rules.
Just why he has submitted to the
draft is not quite clear. 1t is probable
that he believes the Citizens Union at
heart hostile to the Republican party
and General Tracy has received many
honors at the hands of that party and
undoubtedly feels that he owes it a
duty. 1t is not probable that he cares
enough for the office to induce him to
accept so great chance of defeat as
it now seems the Republican nominal
ton affords. Possibly the free silver
Democrats may bolt on account of the
cowardly evasiveness adopted by Hill
and Croker, in which event the election
of Republican candidate would not
be among the things improbable. No
