protesting against the blockade of Crete.
The note declares that in view of the
bonds uniting the Greeks and the Chris
tians Of Crete. the blockade which is
depriving the island of the means OF pro-
visioning itself is contrary to the senti-
ments of humanity inspiring the powers.
The president OF the Boule, in behalf OF
that body. has sent to Mr.. Gladstone q
message of gratitude for the stand he has
taken in behalf of Greece and the Cretan
Christians. The message says in part:
..Al your glorious life has been full OF
combats for justice and liberty. Now
that the Hellenic nation has risen to fight
in favor of Crete which is bedewed with
blood, you come to uphold anew the
rights of an oppressed race"
For some as yet unexplained reason
Crown Prince Constantine, who it was an
nounced last night would leave Athens at
4 o'clock this morning to assume COM
mand of the Greek forces in Thessaly, has
not yet left this city. i: Is now reported
that he will go to the Piraus, whence he
will sail for Volo, in Thessaly, tomorrow
evening.

ciates for thirty five years. L made the

This is the bold challenge that Coils P.
Huntington uttered last night as he sat
comfortably ensconced in a chair in the
library in the Cotton mansion on the
streets, which he will hereafter call and
in reality make his home.
81 like the people of California. L am
getting old, and I am coming bome."
He was speaking of not having been to
this City since a year ago last Novem ber,
and, in the touching language quoted, !,
signi6ed his intention of making San
Francisco his future home.
1t has not been forgotten that at the
election for officers, held by the directors
of the Southern Pacific Company a year
| ago, opposition to the re- election of Hunt
| ington as president was manifested by
| Mrs. Stanford in most positive manner.
She had instructed her two representa-
| tives-RusseIl J. Wilson and Charles
Lathrop-to vote against him, and they
| did go.
Will Ii. Croker showed his opposition
in less marked but not less significant
| way; he refused to vote at ALL
The man whom Mrs. Stanford was then
desirous of seeing succeed to the honor
which her husband had held for so many
years was General Thomas II. Hubbard.
one OF the representatives of the Searies
estate.
Since this event it has apparently come
to the knowledge of Huntington that
Colonel Charles +. Crocker has aspira-
tions that would lead him, in all proba-
bility. to enter the fight TO- the presidency
of the road at the coming election. which
is TO be held on April 7. And this it was
that induced him to give vent to the de-
fant utterance which opens this article.
His boast that he will succeed himself
.'come what may" is probably made on
good grounds. There are ten directors to
be chosen at the coming election, and
these in turn elect the officers. Ali of the
present directors are almost certain to be
elected. Since the last election, A. l..
Tnbbs. stanch Huntington supporter,
has passed away. but tie Tubbs estate
will be represented on the new board of
directors, it is admitted, by gentleman
who continues as loyal to Huntington as
was Tubbs himself. This will give him
his own vote. that of his nephew, the two
votes of the Searles representatives-Gen-
eral Thomas H. Hubbard and Thomas
Stillman-the vote of the Tubbs' repre-
sentative and in all probability also that

LONDON, ENG, March 26-The Tele-
graph will tomorrow publish dispatch
from Vienna stating that ali the powers
have now accepted the project to blockade
thee entire Greek coast, beginning with the
ports Of the Piraus. Volo, Corinth and
Aria.
The Government announces that the
international forces in Crete have occu.
pied the town OF MalaXa. the scene of the
fighting between the Turkish garrison
and he CTetan insurgents yesterday. The
grounds for this action are tn al the ad-
mirals commanding the joint fleet of the
powers regarded that the occupation OF
the town by either the Turks or Greeks as
menacing to the European powers oc-
cupying Canea.
The Canea correspondent of the Times
telegraphs that many complaints are
heard of the partiality shown by the pow
ers for the Turks. He adds that Moham-
medans have burned part of the village of
Periovolla. animals belonging to the
Turks are feeding upon the vines of Chris
tians. The Church of ST. John has Just
ben desecrated by crowd OF Moslems.
All these things are being dDne under the
eyes of the representatives of the powers,
who make no effort to stay them. The
Mohammedans think that now they have
European backing they can do what they
like.
The dispatch adds that the fleets at 2
o'clock this afternoon resumed their she'll
ing of the Christian insurgents IN the vi
cinity of Csnea.
CANEA, CRETE, March 26.-The Chris
tian sympath.zers here causticaliy COM
ment upon the action of the powers in
taking possession of the town OF Malaxa
on the ground that the foreign admirals
hold that its occupation by either Chris
iians or Turks is dangerous to the Euro
pesns in this city. The fact of the dan-
gerousness of the position, it is pointed
out, only impressed the admirals after
the Christians had compelled the Turkish
garrison TO evacuate and had captured the
place. So long as the Turks held posses
sion no danger was apparent to the ad-
mirals, but once the Christians COM
manded the position the foreign naval
officers wakened to very lively sense OF
the risk that was being run by their sea-
> men and marines and the international
troops ashore. Malaxa Is one of the
places that command the iandward ap-
proaches to Canea and would furnish

side OF the Greek Turkish frontier.
NJ. Hanotaux later returned Lord Sails
bury's visit, calling upon him at the Brit
ish EN- bassy. They were eloseted to-
gether for an hour. Lord Salisbury left
Paris. at 80 o'clock tonight and pro-
ceeded for Nice.
Efforts were made after the departure of
LORD Salisbury to learn from M. Hanotaux
the topics that had been discussed by the
two statesmen. When questioned on the
subject NJ Hauotaux smilingly gave
diplomatic answs r, saying that the Brit
ish Prime Minister was good French
scholar and had expressed his views in
the clearest manner. NJ. Hanotaux, how
ever. declined to state what these views
were. There is no doubt in the public
mind that the question of the action to be
taken by France and Great Britain in the
Cretan imbroglio WAS thoroughly dis
cussed, and that some definite under
standing was arrived at
ATHENS, GREECE, March 26.-The Gov

ton to urge the election of Judge Sears. on
1he ground that his defeat in city VIII ich
gave SO overw helming Re publican ma
jority last Novem ber would mean the re-
quotation of the Dingley tariff bill, and
incider tally indicate that Chicago had
gone back on her stand for "sound
money"
These arguments, however, have had
but little weight and the announcement
that President Mckinley will neither
come here to speak during the campaign
nor write letter of Endorsement is re-
garded as an indication that the chief
executive takes no stock in the effort to
give National significance to a local
election, especially when that significance
affects his own administration.
