WEARY W0LCUTT.
HE IS SAID TO BE INTERESTING
TO THE GERMANS.
All Admit, However, That the As
sent of England Must Be Attained
Ere an International Monetary
Conference Can Be Had.

Berlin, Feb. 21.-United States Sena-
tor z. 0. Wolcott of Colorado, who
has been visiting Berlin in the inter-
est of bimetallism, has left very fav-
orable impression here with all of the
officials, financiers and others with
whom he came in contact. Despite the
negative aspect which the semi official
press gives to the results of Mr.. VOL
colts mission. it is known that he OBJ
tanned p full discussion of the ques-
ton os summoning an international
monetary conference In his interview
with Prince Hohenlohe and Baron
Marshall Won Bieberstein, both minis
ters advised him that the condition of
his obtaining the cooperation of Ger
many in calling an international con-
ference was that he should obtain the
assent of England to such a meeting.
Mr.. Wolcott mad already obtained the
assent of France and so informed the
minister.
The senator had a very interesting in
terview with DR.. MIGUEL, the Prussian
minister of finance, who told Mr.. VOL
colt that he was sometimes in favor
of bimetallism and sometimes inclined
towards a gold standard, as the Cir
cumstances and the interests of the
nation required. DR.. MIGUEL held that
the questions for and against bimetal-
lism could not be answered absolutely,
as they involved political as well as
economic considerations.

THE CASE OF KNEEBs.
He Will Be Charged With Attempt
ing to Influence Witnesses.

Berlin, Feb. 2O.-It is said that Kneebs
is to be proceeded against for attempting
to unduly influence certain witnesses one
of whom may be mentioned. the hotel
l-eepe- Nix. and Hans. a trainer. If the
court should thus proceed against Kneebs,
he will not be let out on bail after the ex-
piration of his sentence, because the law
allows hard labor for such an offense,
and the court would assume a danger of
his absconding. Whatever the guilt of
Kneebs may be, his lot is hard. consid-
ering that he voluntarily came over from
America 20 stand his first trial.
The many conflicting interests in Ber-
lin sports have led to another separation
of the short-lived union of the trotting

that Mr.. Prince Smith will again be a

culated to benefit sport in the widest ac-
ceDtance of the term.

Brave Were the Greeks.

London, Feb. 21-The Daily News
correspondent at Canea telegraphs a
detailed account of the fighting at AID
the abandonment of Fort Voukolic
which the Christians subsequently blew
up with dynamite. The Moslems lost
so killed in the fighting. After the main
body of Greek troops had returned to
Platania from Voulolis, news arrived
that 500 Turks and 500 Bashi Bazouks
were attempting to advance from
Canea, and that they We're held in
check in a defile by a force of 200
Cretans.
Colonel Vassors sent a battalion of
infantry and a company of chasseurs
to assist the Cretans. The country was
difficult to traverse, being heavily
wooded. but the Greeks managed to
get through.
The Turks, when they learned of the
approach of reinforcements, took po-
sitiOns on the heights, and for three
hours made a desperate defense. The
Greek troops were all young men, who
had never seen service. but they fought
with admirable courage. They drove
the Turks from one position to another,
and captured the towers of Ayah and
Monkundra. and the barracks at Lii
vadia, which they burned. The Mos
lens retreated. taking with them three
cannon. The Greeks pursued them to
within a mile of Canea and then re-
tired TO Platania ,The Turkish loss is
unknown, but numbers of wounded
were taken into Canea.
The Greeks suffered severely. Three
officers were killed and one officer was
severely wounded.
The Athenian students corps fought
beside the troops

The Ultimatum to Vassos.

Canea. Feb. 21-It has been learned that
the ultin1a tum of the admirals to Colonel
Nasscs was against his attacking Canea
1t apparently did not forbid him from
marching INTO the interior of the island
where Colonel Vassos purposes to oc-
cupy several strategic points.
One report states that the ultimatum
declared that if the Greek troops or the
insurgents approached any nearer to
Canea than they were. the fleet would
shell them: but if they were quiet they
would be permitted to land food.
Colonel Nassos re9lied that he did not
intend TO attack Canea or the flags of
the powers. He would remain on the de-
fensive until he was attacked. Notwith-
standing this assurance. fighting took
place today on the hills to the east of the
town. The combatants. who were Chris
tians and Mussulmans only. were in plain
view from the ships in the harbor. The
reply of the Mussulmans TO the fire of
the Christians was very feeble. and it
could easily be seen that they would be
compelled TO abandon their positions if
che Christians pressed them Their gun
practice was 50 very poor that it excited
ridicule on board the ships.
The main position of the Christians
was in a hamlet on the ridge of the hills
where they had hoisted the flag of Greece.
This position was about 1000 yards from
the warships-
At half past O'Clock the flagship dis
played signals for the Dryad Harrier and
Revenge and one vessel each of the

The order was quickly complied with.
The British vessels fired ~ shells and
the other vessels about 30 The aim of

war at Kolymbar bay, and escorted her
TO Canea.
The excitement at Athens continues
without abatement and the popular
voice = loud for war if the accession
of Crete to Greece can be obtained in
no other way. The populace demand
that no attention be paid to the warn
lngs and demands of the powers, but
that Greece maintain her post in face
of Europe. A vast crowd gathered
this afternoon in front of the palace
and repeatedly cheered the king anC
the royal princes, whose actions meet
with the fullest appreciation. The
crowd finally became so der1onstratiVe
that the king appeared upon one Of
the balconies of the palace and ad-
dressed the people. He and the gov
ernment, he declared. were fulfilling
the mandate Of the entire Hellenic
people in going to the aid of the
struggling Cretans and in seeking to
regain possession of the island. He
added that he prayed that God would
strengthen their efforts.
His majesty concluded his address
by thanking the people for the whole
hearted support they had given him.
The crowd became wild with delight
over the words of King George and
the applause was deafening when he
concluded. Then, after crying again
and again Long live Greece" the
crowd gradually dispersed.

Columbus, O., Feb. 21.-Governor
Bushnell furnished the following state

this evening:
1T had been my intention TO make no
announcement in relation to the action
would take in the matter of an ap-
pointment to hll the prospective va
cancy in the Ohio representation in the
United States senate until the vacancy
actually existed, but on account OF the
manifest interest of the people and
their desire to know what will be done.

ing statement: When Senator Sher-
man resigns to enter the cabinet OF
President Mckinley, I will appoint TO
succeed him Hon Marcus a. Hanna of
Cuyahoga county. to serve until his
successor is elected by the Fifty-third

GEN. HARRISON IS HAPPY.
He is the Papa of Girl, Weighing
Eight and Three-uuarter Pounds.

Indianapolis. Feb. 21.-General Benjamin
Harrison is the father of. a little girl
who arrived at the Delaware mansion at
o'clock this morning. DR.. Jameson
called in. and under his care Mrs Harri-
son and daughter are progressing finely.
Indianapolis society has been on the
Qui ViVe for this announcement Tor q
month past. and almost daily there have
been rumOrs to the effect that the child
had arrived. DIR. Jameson was called last
night and with Mrs. Barmuth. the same
nurse who attended Baby Mckee was
in attendance until morning Mrs Parker.
Mrs HarrisOn's sister. was also present,
ago. The little girl is a finely formed
child and weighs eight and three-quarterS
pounds. Extensive preparations Tor the
arrival have been going on at the Harri-
son home for months. and the array of
baby clothes that has been made is suffl-
cient to satisfy the faSudious taste of
even an ex-presidents daughter Most
of the exquisite embrOideries that the
little one will wear were made by Mrs.
HarriSOn'S own hands. The wardrobe is
all in pure white. though a faint shade
of blue appears in the ribbons and in the
tittings of the cradle. General Harrison
diu not sleep during the night and asked
that his little daughter be brought to
him shortly after her arrival. de seemed
delighted and if there was in his mind
anv disappointment that il was not a boy
he gave no Indication OF it. This morn
ing was the first Sunday since his return
from his summer SOjOurn in the noun

cupied the family pew in the First Pres

ever. and Mrs. Harrison has been the

Vessels at Charleston.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 21-Three
monitors. the Puritan, Ampbitrite and
Terror, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
and the dispatch boat Dolphin, lay at
anchor in the stream today just off the
docks. The New York, Indiana, Co
lumbia and Massachusetts, left today
for Hampton Roads. The other ship
will be in port for several days yet
The Puritan, although it has been off
the bar since Friday. was first boarded
today when she came into the harbOr.
The captain reported a trip without
incident except a slight trouble with
the engines, which he thinks can be
easily overcome. The Puritan only
made four to five knoes on part of her
trip down. She expects to sail again
for New York in about a week. The
Georgia naval reserves are in Charles
ton under Lieutenant Colonel Ding.
and will visit the monitors tomorrow.
The ships in the harbor will be dressed
and will fire the usual salute of q
guns at noon tomorrow in honor of
George Washington.

VIEWED IN GERMANY.
A Belief That Greece Will Submit to
the Powers.

Berlin. Feb. 2l.-The German
cruiser Kaiserin Augusta, the only
German warship which is to take part
in the blockade of or naval demonstra-
ton in the Pireaus. if such action
should be decided upon, was at Malta
on Thursday, and there received or
ders to proceed to Canea and await
further instructions. The latest phase
of the Cretan position confirms the
view taken by German official authori-
ties that the acuteness of the crisis
which prevailed last week is rapidly
abating. AdviceS from Vienna say
that Count Galuchowski. the Austrian
minister of foreign affairs, held a con-
ference yesterday with the British and
Russian ambassadors to Austria, and
as result OF the interview the minis
ter was able to communicate to EN-
peror Francis Joseph such reassuring
news as justified the emperor in MAX
ing preparations to start for Cape
Martin on Monday for a season of rec
reation. The situation now inspires
no mediate disquietude. Greece has
submitted, or at least will submit to
the behests of the united powers, and
the outlook for a complete cessation of
hostilities is extremely promising
Whatever may be the ultimate result
of the kaiser's sudden intervention
to prevent further aggressive action, the
best German opinion credits his majes-
ty with having averted the greatest
danger both to Greece and to Europe

Washington, Feb. 21.-Only nine
more working days remain to the
Fifty-fourth congress, and the condi-
tion of the appropriation bills will COM
pei the senate to make up for the time
lost in a futile effort to ratify the ar
bitration treaty, which now appears to
have been shelved. The pending sun
dry civil bill and the naval bill will
probably cause some debate. The presi-
dent has, so far, approved the legis-
lative, the consular and diplomatic. the
military academy and the pension bills.
The army bill is in conference and the
agricultural bill was agreed to in con-
ference yesterday. The Indian Dill is
now in the senate, and will probably
not be opposed before tomorrow night
The District of Columbia bill is on the
calendar, and will be called up as soon
as the Indian bill is out of the way
This bill may lead to a protracted de-
bate, owing to a fight between contend
ing electric light companies.
The appropriations committee of the
senate is still considering the postoffice.
the sundry civil and the Notifications
bills, all of which will be reported in
two or three days. OF the remaining
appropriation measures, the naval bill
and the general dehciency Dill are sun
in the house.
The bankruptcy bill maintains its
way as the unfinished business, and
will only afford an opportunity for a
few speeches, should time permit.
There is no hope of action. Mr.. Sher-
man has said that he will not again
call up the arbitration treaty and no
more time will be consumed in the con-
sideration of that convention at this
session.
The house will also occupy the re-
mainder of its time in a clearing up
of necessary business. Three hours de-
bate on the Pacific roads paragraph of
the general deficiency appropriation bill
take place on Monday in committee of
the whole. and then, probably, another
day will be spent in going over the
measure in open house.
The passage of bills under suspension
of the rules comes in order during the
closing days of the session, but the
house leaders seem determined TO shut
down on all measures asking further

WRECK OF THE DIAMENT.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Tow Her
Into Port.

Boston, Feb. 21.-The British steamer
Calico, which arrived today from Lon
don, made an unsuccessful attempt to
tow the disabled German tank
steamer, Diament, into the port of Hal
flax, n. S. The captain of the Calico
reports that she sighted the Diament
on February 10. in latitude 1912, longi-
tude 1914 west. The latter had lost
her propeller and signalled for assist
ance. The Calico took the disabled
vessel in tow. but in latitude 4317,
longitude 57.33, about 8 a. m. Febru-
ary Il, during a severe gale, the haw-
sers parted and the Diament disap-
peared from view. AS the disabled YES
sci was pitching badly, the officers of
the Calico fear that she may have
capsized. After losing the Diament.
the Calico remained about the spot
for is hours, but could get no sight of
the missing vessel. Signals were burned
during the night, but no answers were
seen. The Calico towed the Diament
some 600 miles. The latter vessel was
bound from Bremerhaven for New
York or Philadelphia. She carried
crew OF 80 men,
