The rush toward the white house
was undated yesterday. 1t was not
the clamorous crowd OF last week, Tor
most of the Inauguration crowd had left
the city. But in it's place came those
intent on placing the question of Of
fees and other matters before the
president. The people at the outer
doors were told that the president
would hold a public reception at 3
O'Clock and this had the effect of keep
ing back the general crowds until later
in the day.
One of the first callers on the presi-
dent was John Hay, who, it is expected
will he nominated as ambassador 10
the court of st. Jar.es. He had a
brief talk with the president and
then gave way to Senator Wocott OF
Colorado. who saw the president for
the first time since his return from
Europe in connection with the interna-
tional bimetallic cor ference. The call
lasted fifteen minutes and is under
stood to have given opportunity for
brief talk on Mr. Wolcotts mission.

recognizing the important objects that
the powers have in view and Offering to

possible for her to withdraw her troops
from the island in view of the danger
of further massaCres. On the other
hand Greece offers to place her troops
in Crete under the control of the
powers in order that they may be avail
able for the restoration of order. The
government of Greece suggests that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government. Greece is convinced that
autonomy will not pacify Crete and
in the horrors of muSSulman fanatcism
will be added to the six periods of an
archy which have already decimated
the island. 1t is impossible in view OF
the past to advise the Cretans to lay
down their arms, Greece holding that
this advice would no. be obeyed, even
If rendered. The reply also says that
since the foreign ships preserve order
in Crete and prevent the landing of
Turkish troops the presence of Greek
ships is unnecessary but it is eX
planned that the Greek army cannot
leave the Christians to the risk of
mussulman fanaticism and Turkish
troops.
