Reserves in the United States Urged to Give
Aid to Their Native Land.
FEVERISH ACTIVITY MARKS THE STATUS.
King George Shows No Disposition to Accept the
Decree of the Powers of
Europe.

WASHINGTON, March ellis ex-
cellency, Alexander G. Skouzez, min
lister Of foreign affairs to King George,
cabled today to the acting Grecian min
lister inStructing him to call out the
members of the Grecian reserve forces
who are In the United States, and to
urge them by every means in his pow
er to go to the assistance of their ma
tive country.
d. N. BOatssi, the acting minister,
who is also consul general of Greece,
in New York, in an interview with the
Associated Press, said that the cable
gram was of a most alarming nature,
and indicated that war was imminent.
1T is very serious added Mr.. Boatssi; |;
L am instructed to even call out the
reserves that belong to the class as far
back as 1866, and so, it is evident that
King George sorely needs the support
of every able bodied Greek in this
struggle. In this country there are
about 10000 Greeks. OF these proba bly,
about 5000 belong to the army reserve.
Through the Associated Press, in the
name Of King George, I wish to Off
cially notify all the reserves of the
Grecian army who are in this country
that their fatherland calls them back
to its ranks. And to all Greeks, Wheth-
or whether have not-I say in the
name of my king, your country needs

ator Chandler stated it to be
his belief that there would be
no serious objection from any
source to the Republicans passing
tariff bill, whatever the complexion Of
the committees, and others co1curred
in this view Senator Platt, of New
York, was the only new Republican
senator absent, but none of the new
men volunteered any suggestions. The
caucus adjourned to meet again Mon
day, when Senator Allison will an
nounce his committee,
1t was pretty generally understood
that it would be impossible for the
Republicans to reorganize the senate
committees on a Republican basis and
that the silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, who have committee plans of i'm
TCTtance could not be- disturbed under
present conditions. ~ OF course, the
greatest difficulty this phase Of the
situation presents is that of filling the
vacancies on the finance committee,
from which a tariff @biH must be re-
ported At present there are two va
cancies, one on the Democratic and the
other on the Republican, side.
The two large parties are equally
divided, with jones' OF Nevada. the sill

of power. The Republicans, by filling
cne vacancy and giving the other TO
the Democrats, will have no assurance
of securing a report on the tariff bill.
To claim both vacancies and place Mr..

would cause great opposition among
the Democrats, To arrange these diff

ton of the three parties which can by
mbination organize the senate. For
this reason the advocacy of reorganiZa-

abandoned almost as soon as broached.

Impossible for Them to Reorganize the Senate Commit
tees on Purely Partisan Basis.

WASHINGTON, March "a caucus
of Republican senators was held today
to consider the reorganization of the
senate and to name a committee to
consider the situation and report a plan
whereby the Republicans could secure
control of the important committees
of the body. Senator Allison was elect
ed chairman of the caucus to succeed
Mr. Sherman, on motion of Senator
Hoar, and Senator Wilson was re-elect-
ed secretary. The discussion turned
upon the character of the committee to
be appointed. Senator Cullom moved
that the usual committee on commit
tees should be appointed, but after the
debate had progressed some time modi-
fed his motion so as to make it a COM
mittee on the situation, to consult with
other elements in the senate and to
continue only during the present emer-
gency. The motion as modified was
agreed to-
There We're numerous short speeches
by the older senators. The general
drift of the sentiment was against any
effort to fill the vacancies by the i'm
mediate appointment of Republicans
publican majority could be secured by
postponing the filing Of the committees
until action could be secured in Oregon
and Kentucky. Senator Aldrich stated
that in all probability the governor of
Oregon would appoint a senator from
that state. The decision of the senate
in the Mantle case was referred to as
standing in the way of an appointee be-
ing seated from either Kentucky or
Oregon.
Senators Davis, Hoar and Wolcott
called attention to the Importance Of
filling the committees over which they
preside, viz: Foreign relations, judi
ciary and postoffices, at as early a day
as practicable. These are important
committees and all Of them were
seriously affected by recent retire
ments from the senate.
There was only individual reference

Grand Larceny.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Alonzo J.
Whlteman, thirty-six years old, was
arrested in this city today. He IL
charged with grand larceny in the first
oegree, 1t being alleged that he de-
frauded the Columbian bank by means
or bogus draft. Whiteman had been
In trouble several times. He was once
state senator in Minnesota. He has
also held several political offices in that
state. AT one time he was considered
one. of the Wealthiest men in Duluth
The specific complaint against White
men is that on Feb. 20 last he depos-
tied in the Columbian bank a draft
on the National City bank, of Brook
lyn, which came back dishonored
Whiteman's picture was found in the
rogues' gallery and was identified by
Mr. Griff1ths. Whiteman was commit
ted to the Tombs for trial.
In 1895 Whiteman was taken from
New York to California on a similar
charge. There he was convicted and
sentenced to prison for nine years. The
case was postponed, and after White
man had spent ten months in prison
the supreme court liberated him bv
thC JuOSHI6Hl Oh the lower
court. When he got out he wrote a
pamphlet in which he reviewed the
case and laid all of his troubles to his
relatives, who he claimed were syste-
matically purusuing him.
In 1894 he was arrested by the De-
troit police, but the governor Of New
York would not honor the extradition
papers. There were also two indict-
ments in the court of general sessions
against Whiteman for swindling, but
they were dismissed

pursuit extending over much territory.

Special to the Glote.
PIERRE, S. D., March 6.-Business
at the state house today was practi-
cally at a standstill at an early hour
this morning. All resting up from
last night. About the only matter of
interest today is the question of appro-
priations, which some estimates place
as high as S1,000000, and the final foot
ings Of the general appropriation and
special bills will take it very near that
figure. The total general appropriation
is practically $S60,0 900, while the special
appropriations will carry it beyond the
100000 mark, but just how far is not
yet known. The general appropriation
carries about 100000 more than did the
bill at the '95 session, Notwithstanding

To the ST. Paul Globe: desire to call the
attention of the police, through your paper
to the abuse of club privileges (which /
think they are not entirely ignorant of by
the Columbia Social club, at 3S2 Robert
street .and the Young Mems Social club at
371 Jackson street. l will say that from the
beginning those club charters were taken for
the purpose of evading the penalty of run
ming gambling behind doors and selling bad
liquors without a license. While there was
a saloon here where its patrons were colored
the clubs, whose members are all colored
had to be a little cautious, for the saloon
people would be jealous of the trade taken
fcials had to run their plans under the guse
of a chartered club as much as fear dictated
Since the saloon closed these two clubs have
become places of crap games and open gam
bling, and all that goes to demoralize a peo-
pie. 1t appears that the saloon was the only
thing they had to watch. From the appear
ance of the waT the clubs are run it seems
that they have the police consent A little
investigation by the police will prove all said
here 1 wish to see Something done to stop
this business in these so-called club rooms.
Yours respectfully, =.
A certain colored man told a report
er yesterday that he had complained
to Mayor Doran within two weeks
about these two places and the mayor
gave him no satisfaction After
wards said the man.. II was in front
of one Of those places and said to the
officer on the beat who came up, do
you know they are gambling up
there?"

policeman to me- You move on or
you'll get in trouble" So it seems TO
me that the police have orders to let
them alone"
The game on Seventh street Is the
closest proposition. 1t Is reported that
only those who have keys can get in
there and that the keys are limited.
Nothing but poker is played.
The raiding Of the alleged gambling
house at the Smelling bridge was ap-
parently only a bluff. Mayor Doran
has been informed by letter and person
ally that gambling was going on and
the impression abroad is that he has
in the language of the sport, decided
ito stand for it."
