occurs within six days the powers will
not hesitate to take any coercive steps
necessary to enforce it and the decision
is irrevocable.

ENGLAND'S POLICY.
LONDON, March 2.-The house of
commons was crowded today when the
Liberal leader, Sir William Vernon Har
court moved that they adjourn in order
to call attention to the Cretan situation.
He asked if the powers had consented
to the British proposals. or If the latter
had been modified, and said there was
no hope for Crete unless Turkey was
substantially removed. The Cretans,
he continued. wanted union with
Greece. and ne advocated the annexa-
tion of Crete to Greece. He expressed
sympathy with the action of the Greeks,
and warned the government that it had
entered upon path where it was not
its own master, and asserted that it
might be forced to deeds against which
the conscience of the English nation
might revolt Sir William remarked
that the opposition had a right to pass
judgment on these transactions.
Mr.. CIrzon, the parliamentary secre-
tary of the foreign office replied. He seid
the policy of the government was to thor
oughly reconstruct the administration
of Crete and mitigate the authority Of
the sultan. Continuing. Mr.. CurZon as
Jured the house that the government
which was established in Crete would
displace the Turkish government,
though until the gendarmerie was estab-
lished, the Turkish troops would need to
remain in occupation.
The earl of Kimberly, the Liberal lead
er called attention in the house of lords
today to the Cretan policy Of the govern
ment He argued that 1t would have
been wiser and safer to join Crete to
Greece, and held that under any circum-
stances, the Turkish troops should be
withdrawn from the island simultane-
ously with those of Greece.
The premier, Lord Salisbury, replying
for the government. said that the policy
which was foreshaGowed on Thursday
was, in the main, that which has been
accepted by the powers.
Continuing. his lordship explained
that there was not. however complete
uranimity in regard to the withdrawal
of Turkish troops, and he added that
Crete would not be Joined to Greece
The premier thought the question should
be deferred for quieter and more delib-
crate consideration. His lordship then
said that he sympathized with the Gre
tans. and desired to see an end put to
their oppression, but, he continued, it
was the duty OF the government to
