The German yield Is expected to bt
100000 quarters below that of 1895.

GREEKS READY FOR WAR.
Coming Hostiities Between Tur-
key and Greece Growing,
HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED,
The Trouble Arose From the Recent
Conflict Between the Christians and
Mussulmans.

Constantinople Cable. ALI the in
dications point to coming hostilities be-
tween Turkey and Greece growing out
of the complications arising from the
recent conflict between the Christians
and Mussulrraas on the Island of Crete.
The Sultan Of Turkey has officially
notified the Powers that the Ottoman
Empire will attack Greece in Thessaly
in the event of the Powers falling to re-
strain hostile action in Crete on the
part of Greece.
Such contingency as interference by
the Powers appears to be remote, and
| the landing of the Greek fotilla at Ca
| nea, under the command of Prince
George, indicates plainly that Greece
is anxious to force the fighting by tax
ing steps to prevent the landing OF
Turkish troops on the island, and that
it is probably the intension of annexa
ton which the Christian population are
so anxious to have accomplished.
The Greek fiotilla is said to have land
ed large quantity of munitions of wal
and provisions intended for the equip
ment of the insurgents, who had flock
ed to the hills surrounding the town O
Canea awaiting the arrival of reinforce
ments from Greece
That Prince George has lost no TIM
in assumiL,, an attitude of active bellig
erency is indicated by report from
Canea.

COST OF AN EXHIBIT.
What the Government Spent -0n the
Atlanta Exposition.

w nat the government spent -On the
Atlanta Exposition.
Assistant Secretary Dabney of the
Department of Agriculture has COM
pleted his report to the President as
chairman of the board of managers of
the EEi.ed States exhibit at the Cotton
States International Exposition at At
lanta, Ga. held in 1895. In the letter
of transmittal accompanying the report
DIR. Dabney recites that under the sun
dry civil act approved Aug. 18, 1894,
the government authorized an exhibit
by the governmenment of the United
States of ''such articles and materials
as illustrate the function and admins
trative faculty of the government" and
appropriated for the expenses of such
exhibit $780, 600. of which $50, 600 was
| for building, and of the $3.50, 600 re-
naming not more than $40, was to
be expended for clerical services. How
carefully this fund was disbursed Is
shown by the fact that the builafng cuss
$40, 700 and exhibit proper $13S, 234. 80,
of which 81, 8S4. OF only was for clerical
services. Thus, after carrying out
fully and creditably the purposes of the
appropriation, over $12, 900 remained to
be turned back into the United States
treasury. The report of the chairman
concludes with brief but earnest
tribute to DIR. Geo. B. Goode and
Messrs. r. E. Earle and r. S. Mat
thews, who were associated with DR..
Goode in the installation and care oi
the exhibit, all of whom have died III
the progress of the work

government departments, bureaus and
individuals, whose services were deem

paration and arrangement of the gov
ernment exhibits.
