MAY DECLARE WAR.
Greece Can Block the Rights of
Interference.

Athens, March 10 "A prolonged meet
ing Of the cabinet was held to-day. The
ministers discussed mt great length the
attitude to be taken in event the powers
attempted to coerce Greece into compi-

that no disposition was shown TO accede
To the demands and that it was finally de-
cided to take active measures as the only
possible solution of the difficulty.
III is thought that by active measures
it is meant n declaration of war against
Turkey, which in its effect would he to
give Greece the right to maintain her
army in Crete and deprive the powers of

Carson, New March 16-The last
twelve hours of daylight remaining be-
tore the greatest struggle in the history
OF pugilism begins, were ushered in with
lowering clouds and II threatening atmos-
phcrc. Fortunately, however. the sun
came co tie front and Its glorious rays
d'~pelled the gloom.
The early outlook ha,l the effect o max
ing both Corhett and Fitzsimmons do
little more work than they intended to do
on the day before the battle. Fearing to
take any chances under existing utmos-
pherical conditions, both men exercised

OF possible postponement. Nothing
Sh 3rt of rain or II SHOW storm will bring
about such postponement, however.

The prevailing opinion seems to lie that

To- fifteen rounds. Judging by the bet
ting this number is the favorite, while
under ten rounds comes in rs second
choice, No one is inclined to think that
the battle will be a long one. The in

to account in II great measure for the

The time is near when the Cover
nor is expected to announce his
choice for Judge in place of the pre-
sent incubent. The position of the
Press on this important matter is
well known. 1t fearlessly advocated
the reappointment of Judge Thomp-
son and stated it's reasons therefor.
1t was met with the assurance that
the appointment could only be given
to Republican. In view of the
facts in the case, if the appointment
is to be made from a political stand
point, then we say, all other things
being equal, let this high honor fall,
where it logically belongs, to the
man that has "borne the burden in
the heat of the day.; to the man
who has been, as it were. the pack
horse OF the party; to the man whose
face is familiar to every worker in
the County, and whose cOunsels and
advice has been asked for, taken,
and respected for many years. We
