THE TROUBLES IN CRETE
Greece Will Not be Allowed to
Acquire the Territory.
A WARNING TO GREEK wARsHIPs.
War Vessels of the Powers Notified Greek
Naval Commanders That They Would
Not be Permitted to Land Troops or
Bombard Canea.

Naval Commanders That They Would
Not be Permitted to Land Troops or
Bombard Canea.
London, Feb. 1o-A special dispatch
from Canea says that the command
ers of foreign men-of-war now con-
centrated off the Island of Crete have
notified the captains of the Greek war
ships that no isolated action on the
part of the Greeks, such as lombard
Ing the town of Canea or the landing
Of troops, will be permitted A Ber-
lin dispatch declares that the attempt
of Greece to annex Crete will not sue
ceed France, 1t is asserted, may favor
the design, but the dreibund and Rus
sia have agreed to maintain the status
quo. 70
A dispatch to The Times from Con-
stantinople says that the ambassadors
appear more hopeful and confident
that the insurrection on. the Island of
Crete will speedily subside. The repre-
sentatives of the powers at Constan-
tinople are averse to giving their con-
sent to the dispatch of Turkish
troops to Canea, as desired by Abdul
Hamed. the sultan, and the porte,
therefore, will not send the Turkish
warships and transport to the Island
of Crete for the present.
The Athens correspondent of The
Times announces that he is empower
ed to assert that there Is full accord
between the king and cabinet upon
the subject Of Cretan policy. The cor
respondent also asserts that during
an uproarious debate in the legisla-
tive chamber yesterday afternoon and
last evening the opposition urged the
government to take stand on the
matter of the union of Greece with
Crete at all costs.
A dispatch to The Times from
Paris says that it was rumored on the
Bourse that the commander of the
Greek fleet was with difficulty dis
suaded from bombarding the Turkish
towns on the Island of Crete. No con-
firmation of this rumor was obtained,
and it is regarded as improbable but
1t indicates the sensitiveness existing
concerning matters In Turkey, Greece
and Crete.
A Vienna newspaper contains an In
terview with Minister Deyannis, the
Grecian representative at Paris, to the
effect that unless the powers compel
the sultan to execute Cretan reforms
affairs may take turn endangering
the peace of Europe. The Greek gov
ernment, according to Minister Delyan-
MIS- has done, and VIII do nothing to
complicate affairs, but he claims the
present agitation seriously embarras-
ses it. During the course of his inter-
view Minister Delyannis asserted that
the comedy, or so called conference of
the ambassadors at Constantinople
must be discontinued. and the Euro
pean powers must decide to extricate
Christians from an intolerable position.

ssTheir Sllare.1

The lumber lords who appeared be-
fore Mr.. Dingley's committee Thurs
day were quite frank. Their spokes-
man said that as it was evident that
there is to be more protection" the
lumbermen appeared to demand
their share
What this "share" is he indicated
in a demand that white pine, spruce,
hemloek, Eastwood and sycamore
shall be taxed SO per thousand feet,
board measure. This is double the
amount of the Mckinley duty in some
cases, but the lumbermen thought it
would be no more than their share"
That this would tax the shelter and
burden the building enterprises of all
the people, as we'll as put new pre-
MUM on the destruction of Our for
ests, did not trouble these bounty
seekers. No other country in the
world has so little need of such tax.
In none other, however given to the
protection theory, is such a tax levi
ed.
But the lumber lords helped the
campaign fund, and now demand
their share" of the spoils. New

DEATH OF A SQUATTER.
Minnie Duf7s Ending A Most
Pitiable One.

Minnie Duff's nee Wagenknecht. a
young woman well known in police
and infirmary circles, died this week
and was buried by the infirmaay di-
rectors.
The dead woman has figured in a
number of police court cases and was
known as a kleptomaniac. Her par
ents reside on an alley off Western
avenue. Minnie was a member of
the Schillinger tribe, band of squat
ters who live in shanties on the banks
of Swan creek near the Armada
mills. These squatters are a poverty
stricken crowd and came here from
Napoleon and other northwestern
Ohio towns a few years ago.
The intirmary and Humane society
officials state that the woman's death
was a pitable sight. Gathered in the
shanty where she died were num-
Der of men and women, friends of
herself and husband. They paid but
little attention to her, but, on the
contrary, the officials aver that they
passed the time chewing tobacco and
In social converse occasionally in
terspersed with shocking profanity.
The dead woman gave birth to q
baby girl few weeks ago, but the
little one died. The mother was once
an inmate of the county intirmary,
having been treated for disease.
