Cretans Determined Upon Annexation.

Athens, March 31.-A dispatch from
Retimo, Crete, states that the Russian
consul at that place today visited the
town OF Atsipopulo, for the purpose OF
communicating to the insurgents the
proclamation recently issued by tho
foreign admirals, announcing the in
tention Of the six great powers to es-
tablish an autonomous form OF gov
ernment, and also to invite the insur-
gents to lay down their arms. His at
tempt was as unsuccessful as those
heretofore made in the same direction
by the admirals and their representa-
tiveS.
The insurgents listened patiently to
the consurs explanation OF the bene-
fits that would accrue to them under
the form Of government proposed by
the powers, and then declined to make
any concessions whatsoever. Their
leaders declared that they did not de-
sire autonomy, feeling that it would
prove as farcical as the previous at
tempts to establish self-government In
the island. They had taken up their
arms to drive the Turks from the Is
land and to bring about annexation
with Greece. They desired to be plac-
ed under the government OF KING
George, and they firmly declared that
annexation was the only thing tna'
they would accept.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
The Republicans t" Attempt Their Reor
ganiZation-A Combination With Certain
POpuIist Senators Who Will be Given
Good Chairmanships.

Washington, March 30.-The republi-
cans Of the senate this morning put
into motion the machinery looking to
the reorganization Of the senate SO
far as the committee vacancies are
concerned. The caucus was called for
10 o'clock and was promptly attend
ed by almost every one OF thc straight
republicans OF the body. Adjournment
was taken until 1870 o'clock.
Senator Allison, chairman Of the cau-
Gus committee, made an Ella aborate re-
port in which he told Of the troubles
that had confronted and which still
stood in the way Of the cornmitee
Many conferences had been had with
the democratic steering committee and
at no time were the mem bers Of that
committee, and particularly Senator
German, its chairman, willing to ad-
init that there was any change in the
condition in the republican party since
the senate ccmmitteeS had been re~Or-
ganized by the republicans. The demo-
GRATIS insisted, said Senator Allison.
that they should have the same num-
Der or men on the committees as they
had under the previous arrangem ents
and declined to permit the republicans
TO take an additional number sufficient
TO Out-Vote the silver republicans who
had Dolted the st. Louis convention
and who were now members Of COM
mittees, If they continued with the
democrats.
Short speeches were made by Sena-
tors Hale, Gallinger, WOlcott, Wilson
and others.
The only new member who spoke
was Senator Mason, of Illinois. He con-
tended that the new senators were en-
titled to committee assignments and
that efforts should be made to place
them. If the effort was futile no blame
could be attached to the straight re-
puDllcans. They should at least have
made an effort, and more than that
the new senators could not ask; that
much, however, he said, they were en-
titled to.
Senator Allison stated that the Sit
uation had been carefully canvassed,
and while sufficient votes to pass the
necessary resolution were not in
sight. he said that the committee
hoped within a very short time to be
able to say that the votes were at
hand that would give the republicans
the absolute control Of the member
ship of the committees.
The result OF the discussion which
was OF a decidedly varied and some
what nebulOus character, was a. reso-
luton instructing Chairman Allison to
appoint a committee on committees,
which will assign the republicans to
the various committees on the basis
insisted upon by the republicans. This
will at least put the machinery In
motion and force the fighting to a
finish.
1t is understood that a cornbina-
tion has been made with certain pou-
lists whereby they are to vote with
the republicans on the question Of re-
orga ni7aIton. The populsts who are to
be given good chairmanships are said
to be Senators Jones, of Nevada: Stew
art ard Kyle. It is understood also
that Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts,,
opposes such a combination and will
not agree to any recognition Of the
populists.

The national Democratic party, repre-
senting those who refused TO support the
Chicago ticket last year, is making pre-
parations for an active campaign through
out the country. Chairman Bynum has
opened national headquarters In New
York. and the national executive COM
nittee will be assembled in that city some
time during the month of July.
In speaking Of the campaign the other
day, Mr.. BynIm said:
From now on the campaign against free
silver will be waged with energy, and we
intend TO continue the crusade until the
project for debased currency Is strang-
led beyond hoIe of resurrection.
The Gold Democrats have not forced
this fight. They were quite willing, in
deed they have urged that in the various
state campaigns throughout the country,
national questions be dropped, and the
fight made on local issues. But that
offer has been spurned everywhere. ex-
cept perhaps in the State of New York.
The Ohio convention is rampant for free
silver, Organism and the Chicago plat
form. and it is manifest that the same
course will be followed by the Virginia
Convention.
Tho National Democracy is as much OPP
posed as ever to free silver and Bryan
ism. and as the guardians Of the true
Democratic principle will fight the spuri-
Gus Democracy, represented by the Chi
cago organization. wherever and when
ever ii enters the field.

GoXERNMENT FINANCES.

The Government receipts for the past
fiscal year were 1899, 3l4, $3.50, and the ex
penditures 1864, 63l,lf making deficien-
cy Of S25 .Sl9, 2lO For the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1896, the deficiency was S25,-
2J8.2i5. and on the LIST of March last 1t
was over Sis.OoOoOO.
This shows that the Treasury has
gained during the past four months about
$2S 100000. Within the two months
last past the exports OF gold have
amounted to $4,000, 600. sl5,OOOOOO of which
was supplied by the national Treasury,
and yet these heavy exports caused no
alarm, for the reason that the notes re-
oeived in exchange for gold do not have
10 be paid out at once to meet current ex-
penses Of Government.
The New York sun, from which these
figures are gathered, in further elaborat-
Ing the subject says:
On April 18th the Treasury held in gold
Sl55. 500. 119. and in demand notes s4s 425. 1898.
ON June 2Sth it held in gold sl4O 557. SOS
and in notes sec, 256,726. Thus, while il
lost over Sl5OO,cOO in gold, II gained over
si7OOo,OoO In notes. and its gold reserve
is. therefore. actually s2OOO.0c0 stronger
than it was.
This is one Of the most hopeful signs
of the times. and the significant fact
Is that this improvement has come under
the operation Of the much-abused Wilson
tarin law.
President Mckinley, in his message
TO Congress, said that a speedy reform
Of the tariff was necessary. in order TO
supplement the revenues of Government.
and then proceeded TO show how, under
the operation Of the Wilson tariff. Gov
eminent receipts had fallen $50 far be-
low necessary expenditures as TO cause
great distress TO the national Treasury.
But he did not tell the public that the
deficiency was greatest under the last
year of operation under the Mckinley
law, and the New York Sun, which is a
protection paper, says that II the gain in
receipts during the last four months
should continue during the next four

BE CULTURE.

The old saying that lit is bad plan
10 put all your eggs In one basket orig
mated on the farm, and yet as rule
farmers utterly fail TO make the apph-
cation in the conduct Of their farms.
The successful farmer in this day Is he
who makes his supplies at home, and In
addition ii his regular crop utilities every
resource at hand to turn an honest penny.
There are many ways in which a farmer
can make little money here and there
In addition to his staple crop. and one Of
these is bee culture. 1t Is a compare
lively inexpensive matter to prepare the
hives ana to collect the bees, and after
this has been DONE the bees do the rest.
There IS always demand for a good
article Of honey. and II the farmer does not
have honey on his table every day. and
send 5000 or 500 worth each year to
market, it IS his own fault.
