SOME KANSAS FACTS.

Kansas was thirty-six years old J an
uary 20. After contest which lasted
for several years between the element
which tried to add Kansas to the roll
of the fifteen slave states then in the
Union, and the men who were deter
mined to preserve this region to free
dom, the latter triumphed. The chief
obstacle to the admission of Kansas
as a free state was the senate, in
which the Dem ocratS had large ma
jority- After the withdrawal of
southern members to follow their
states in secession in the opening days
of 1861, however,, the Republicans
gained control of the senate, pushed
the Kansas bill through that body,
and President Buchanan signed it on
January 90 of that year. At one time
ard another Kansas has filled
large place in the 'country's history.
I he act which created the territory
Of Kansas in 1854 brought with it
mightier consequences than those
which depended on any other law
ever placed on the national statute
book in the sixty-five years of the
government up to that time. 1t made
the slavery question the only issue in
politics, broke the partisan utilization
between the agricultural south and
agricultural west; started civil war
in Kansas which was a prelude to the
mighty struggle a few years later;
killed the Wing party by sending its
southern end through the halfway
houses of the Know \ othing party in
1856, and the Constitutional Union
party in 1860 into the Democratic
camp, ana put the bulk of its north
ern END into combination with the
Free-Soilers, political abolitiOnists
and anti-Slavery Democrats under the
name of the Republican party to fight

Democracy in 1860, thus giving the

UNCLE SAM IN CRETE.
Attempts to Board American Ships
Might Be Resented.


Washington, March 2.-The representa-
tives in Washington OF the six powers,
signatory to the Berlin treaty, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria
Hungary and Russia, have in concert, no
titled this government of the blockade of
Crete, the respective notes having been
delivered to Secretary Sherman to-day,
They were almost Identical and consist
ed of a mere formal announcement of a
blockade to Cretan ports against ships
under the Greek flag commencing at 8
o'clock this morning. Merchant vessels of
neutral powers. including those of the
United States and of the treaty powers,
while subject to overhauling by the block
aiding warships Of the c6ncerting fleets, are
not to be disturbed in their ordinary COM
mercial occupations If they carry no mer-
chandise intended for use of the Greeks
or insurgents on the island,
1t is question whether this government
will give its assent to this form of block
ade, which involves a grave departure
in international law, and would establish
a precedent abolishing rights that the
der. There is little or no likelihood of an
American vessel attempting to run the
Cretan blockade, for the stars and stripes
on merchant vessels in the Mediterranean
is practically unknown.
An indication of this is given In the
records of the Suez canal, the American
flag having passed that highway only
three times in 1895, on two private yachts
and man-of-war, while in 1896 not a sin
gle vessel showed our flag in the canal
This year the passage of the cruiser De-
trolt, early next month, will probably be
the only occasion for showing the Amer
lean colors in the Red sea. Around Crete
an American ship Is rarer than at Suez.
Nevertheless, IL the United States should
tacitly consent to being kept out of Crete,
where there is no proclaimed condition Of
war, any more than there is in Cuba at
the present time, such action, IL Is anfici-
pated by those familiar with internal
tional precedents may establish an I'M
toward precedent In relation to countries
where American commerce is unmeasur-
ably more important and where American
merchant flags are more numerous.
