concurrence of the powers in Greece's
action in Crete does not appear TO have
had the deterrent effect that was antici-
pated, and Greece is going ahead as
though she had the full consent Of the
powers to her annexation of the island.
Colonel Vassos. the aid-de-camp of the
King, who is in command of the Greek
troops in Crete, is already forming local
administration in the name of the King
of the Hellenes. He is making prepara-
tions for the holding of municipal cleo
tions, and he will install May ors in all the
towns and villages that are not occupied
by the forces of the foreign powers.
1t is stated that Prince Nicholas, the
third son of King George, Will not go with
the troops to the Thessalian frontier, as it
was stated yesterday he would, but that
he will join the forces in Crete.
All the Greek consulates in the island
have lowered their flags, it being consid-
cred by the Consuls that as Crete is now
Greek territory their duties have ended.
1t is stated here tonight that the war
ship Hydra, which was conveying provi-
sions to the Greeks, was stopped by Brit
ish and Italian torpedo boats.

it come up he would not vote for it if it
were in such shape as to imperil the pass

He also agreed in this connection that he
would vote for any measure looking toward

Kyle's election it is thought will block
the State legislation that the Populists
have been expecting to put through and
is a particularly severe blow to the admin

bic that unless the breach is healed the

In consideration of Kyle voting with
the Republicans on the organization of

Rapub leans Bring About the Climax,
Aided by Few Populists and
Democrats.

PIERRE, S. D.. Feb. 18.-Six years ago
to-day ]. II. Kyle, a comparatively un-
known Congre gational preacher, who had
been sent to the Legislature by happy
Fourth OF July speech. was elected to the
United States Senate by com bination Of
Populist and Democratic votes. To-day
he was reelected by the votes of Repub-
licans and few Populists and Demo-
Gratis.
Early this morning the rumor was cir
culated that the Republicans would vote
for Kyle. When the joint session met and
the roll of the Senate was called the Re-
publicans voted for Picker, and look OF
disappointment came over the faces of
spectators, who thought that they were to
be again disappointed. When the House
roll was called. however, and the Repub-
licans one by one voted for Kyle, it COM
menced to look as though the long fight
was about to end. AS soon as the House
roll was finished, and before the vote of
either was announced, the Republican
Senators commenced to change for Kyle.
This was the signal for Senator McManus,
who has been one of the chief lieutsnants
of Kyle, to spring to his feet and say i'm
pressively:
"I've been fighting Republicans all my
life and when 1 see them take up my can
didate l must be true to my record, and
hereby change my vote to Goodykoontz. I"
Then pandemonium broke loose ana for
an hour there was continual change of
votes. The Populists fought in every way
10 gain time and try to break loose enough
votes from Kyle to defeat him, but were
unsuccessful.
In an interview tonight Senator Kyle
denied the report that he had made any
deal with the Republicans. He declares
that he is Populist still, has not changed
his principles and that the Republicans
came to him solidly because they thought
Senator Petugrew was against him and
they wished to humiliate Pettigrew.
Notwithstanding Kyle's public denial
that he has any understanding with the
Republicans, the latter generally believe
the story which Is current that he has
committed himself to support all Repub-
lican measures except the single one of
free silver.
The correspondent of the United Asso-
ciated Presses was informed tonight by a
Republican who has been working on this
com bination ever since the session COM
menced that the interview which resulted
in the agreement took place this m morning.
There were present, says the gentlem an.
Senator Kyle. Congressman Pickler-the
latter one of Kyle's managers-and two
members of the Republican steering COM
plittee. The interview was a protracted
one, and during it the whole ground was
covered. Senator Kyle, it is said, agreed
to vote with the Republicans for the tariff
measure and for every administration
measure. He reserved the right, however,
to vote upon the silver question as be saw
fit but qualified this reservation by ex-
planning that since the last election he

driven to act to avert disaster.
Continuing. he says-that Greece refused
to be coerced. Colonel Vassos has been
ordered not TO ret re unless the powers
fire on him, when he must retire inland
without replying to the fire. He is, how
ever, to resist the Turkish troops. He
adds that several thousand armed volun-
teers are ready to enter Macedonia as soon
as the order is given.

Cabinet Decides to Persist in It's Cretdn

LONDON, ENG Feb. 1S.-The Athens
correspondent OF the Standard telegTaphs
that the Greek Cabinet held meeting to-
day, ana after full discussion of the
Cretsn question decided to persist in the
policy regarding the island that it had be-
fore agreed upon.
A dispatch from Moscow to the Stan
dard says that in the event of certain con-
tingencies in the East, Russia will be ac-
lively supported by Germany and Austria
1t has already been arranged, the dispatch
adds, for German troops to go south
through Russian territory to cooperate
with the forces modified IN the Kieff
district. The German contingent would
consist of two regiments of infantry. The
provisional date for the ia king of decisive
measures was fixed for February 20. but
the execution OF the measures now de-
pends upon the settlement that is made
OF the Cretan question.
All the reports received here concur in
the opinion that the proposal made by
Germany, that the great powers blockade
the Piraus in order to compel Greece to
heed the representations made to her con-
corning her action IN Crete, is not likely
TO be adopted, owing TO the opposition of
Great Britain and Italy.
The Chronicle tomorrow will make
splurge over communication from its
special correspondent, Henry Norman,
who is now in Athens and who will be
remem bered as the represen tative of that
paper at Washington during the Vene-
zuelan dispute. Mr.. Norman sets forth at
length the Greek view of the situation,
and his communication amounts to de-
tense Of the action taken by Greece. He
says that after the powers in April last
compelled the Sultan to grant reforms in
Crete the Sultan ordered that the Cretan
Diet should not be permitted TO meet.
During the coronation festival in Rus
sia King George telegraphed to his son,
Prince George, who was representing him
at the coronation, asking him TO beg the

Sultan complied, but the Cretsn MussuI-
mans were informed that If the Diet did
meet their cause would be lost.

CANEA, CRETE, Feb. 18-Rum ors of a
wholesale massacre of Mussulmans at
Sitia have reached here, some OF the re-
ports placing the mum Der killed at 2000,
which includes almost the entire Moslem
population of the town. 1t is said that
men, women and children were killed in
discriminatory by the Christians. 1t is
i'm possible at present to confirm the re-
ports, but the rumors have created the
deepest anxiety here. Genera. Bor, who is
IN command OF the gendarmerie at Canes,
has sent two officers of the gendarmerie at
Sitia in a gunboat to inquire into the
truth or falsIty of the reports.
The fort at Voucoulis, which is garri-
soned by 500 Turkish troops. has been be-
sieged for several days by large force OF
well-armed insurgents. Yesterday the
commander of the besieging forces called
upon the Turkish commander to sur
render and promised safe conduct to any
OF the garrison who chose to accept it.
The Turks refused to surrender on any
terms. 1t is stated that the garrison has
provisions enough to last for twenty days
and plentiful supply of ANN unition.
1t is reported that Greek troops started
today for Voucoulis to aid the insurgents
IN the capture of the place.
