CoNsTANTINoPLE, March 23-The
opinion prevails here that the blockade
Of the island of Crete by the fleets of
the foreign powers which commenced
Sunday will be a useless proceeding, as
Colonel Vassos, commander Of the
Greek army Of occupation, is well sup
piled with provisions. 1t is now thought
that the best means to accomplish the
withdrawal of the Greek troops from
Crete would be to withdraw the Turk
ish troops.
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com.
mander in Macedonia, has telegraphed
the minister Of war not to send any
further reinforcements of troops, on
account of scarcity Of provisions.
The commander Of the Turkish
squadron, just made ready for the sea

nor Hazen S. Plngree is ousted from
the office of mayor of Detroit. Such Is
the mandate of the Michigan supreme
court, which orders a special election
for mayor April .. The decision was
unanimous.
The court in substance states that
two theories are presented: First,
that the holding of two such Offices are
in conflict with the state constitution ;
second, that the offices are incOmpati.
ble under the common law. Both OF
these propositions are sustained.
A large number of decisions are
quoted respecting the first theory
which substantially agree that the
holding of offices purely municipal
would not come within the cOnstltu.
tional prohibition, but that officers i'll
cities, appointive or elective, under
laws of the state, which impose duties
in relation to state affairs, may be said
to hold office under the state.

United States Informed of the blockade,
But VIII Not Notice 1t.
WASHINGTON. March 23.-Secretary
Sherman has been notified that a pa.
cific blockade of Crete was begun at 8
o'clock Sunday morning.
The notification was made in concert
by the representatives of the six powers
signatory to the Berlin treaty-Grea;
Britain, France, Italy, Germany,
Austria. Hungary and Russia.
The language of the several notes is
almost identical. They formally an
nounce the commencement of the
blockade of Cretan ports against ships
flying the Greek flag. 1t is further de-
clared that merchant vessels of neutral
powers, including those of the United.
States, will not be disturbed in their
usual commercial ventures, provided
their cargoes contain no merchandise
for use by the Greeks and insurgents
Of the island. Such vessels, however,
will be subject to inspection by the
blockading warships of the concerted
squadrons.
There is little likelihood that the
blockade. or in fact even notice the
communication of the several powers.
Secretary Sherman said the matter was
of remote interest to this government
and had not been considered in any
way. 1t is not likely to receive consid.
Grafton until merchant vessel of the
United States attempting to enter Gre
tan ports is prevented by the blockad
ing ships. The master of the Ameri
can ship would in this case call the
matter to the attention of the depart
ment, and President Mckinley ant
his advisers would then have to decide
upon a policy.
In view of the fact, however, tina
only three vessels flying the American
flag passed through the Suez canal il
the year 1895, two of which were pri
vate yachts, and the third warship
and Cnly one, also a warship, III 1896
it is apparent that there is little posi-
bility of the United States becoming
involved in the Cretan troubles.
Wink Secretary Sherman decline
to discuss the matter in any way. tn
other officials of the state departmen
take the ground that if any occasio
srose, the United States would refus
to recognize the blockade. There ar
no direct precedents for refusing t
give such recognition, but there al
many eminent international lawyer
who contend that pacific blockades
for the purpose of coercion are in viz
lation of laws of nations.
