NEW YORK, March IA Herald
dispatch from Constantinople says:
ALI the rumors concerning the trans
mission of a collective note by the am
bassadors accompanied by an ultima
tum from here to Greece are premature.
The ambassadors hero have not yet re-
ceived the terms in which the note Is
to be couched. Consequently the
opinion is that owing 20 the near ap-
proach OF the Bairm festival on Thurs
day, the eventual transmission could
hardly be made before Sunday
1t is no longer doubted here that
this note will be accepted by the porte.
1t is hoped that Greece by that time
will also be induced to accept.
The ambassadors continue to use
their efforts to persuade the sultan to
cease his armament.
According to dispatches received by
the ambassadors, incendiarism in
Crete continues.
A serious encounter took place al
Wixelaki, five miles from Canea, be-
tween insurgents supported by Greeks
and Turkish troops. The latter re-
turned to Canea.
The blockade of the entire island OF
Crete, which is now maintained with
greatest rigor by the foreign forces, is
very sensible. The want of provisions
is felt throughout the island. The in
habitants of Gambia haye asked for the
removal of the blockade to provide
themselves with provisions for one
week. The French officer command
ing the sailors debarked at Gambia has
asked for instructions.

4 LIVE ISSUE YET.

If anyone had supposed that bimet-
alism was dead issue, the scene in
the United States senate on last Tues
day would completely have dispelled
that impression. Senator Chandler of
New Hampshire made brilliant and
scholarly address, in which he said
that the shrinkage in values as result
of the demonetization of silver had
been enormous, and made the uncom-
Portable statement of his belief that
"prices had not as yet touched bottom"
He declared that Bryan's defeat was
not because the people did not desire
silver as part of their standard money,
but because they believed the Chicago
platform meant silver monometalism;
that they were now, as they always had
been, in favor of bimetalism, and
closed by declaring that unless this

WHAT NEXI2

The farce comedy that has been on
the boards at the state capital since
the 11th of January having dropped
the curtain and declared the play
ended, we naturally inquire what will
be next Will Coy. Lord convene the
legislature in extra session, or will he
allow matters to stand as they are and
permit the states affairs to run at loose
ends until the regular session of 1899?
Duty to the state would dictate an extra
session, at least to pass the general ap-
preparation bill; but judging the future
by the past, there is little encourage
ment for the governor to call an extra
session composed OF the same member
ship. If the 80 men who have been at
Salem since the convening of the ses-
sion have been unable to agree upon
organization, there is little hope that
they would be able to do so if convened
again. Nor do we believe it is the de-
sire of the state that they should be
again given an opportunity to dis
grace themselves and the state. How
ever, q session of the legislature is an
absolute necessity, for the machinery
of the state government cannot be
kept going without funds, and funds
cannot be made available without an
appropriation bill, hence it is case
of choosing between two evils: and the
lesser of thetwo possibly is another at
tempt with the same conglOmorate
mass.

The sentiment expressed by Presi-
dent Mckinley in his inaugural address
with reference to the foreign policy his
administration will pursue, is disap-
pointing to the friends of Cuba, and is
little solace to the American citizens
who are held without authority by
Spanish rule in Havana. His express
sions on this subject are:
"It has been the policy of the United
States since the foundation of the gov
ern ment to cultivate relations of peace
and amity with all nations of the world,
and this accords with my conception of
our duty now. We have cherished the
policy of noninterference with the
affairs of foreign governments, wisely
inaugurated by Washington, keeping
ourselves from ENHANCEMENT either as
allies or foes, content to leave undis-
turbed with them the settlement Ut
their own domestic concerns. It will
be our aim to pursue firm and digni-
fed foreign policy, which shall be just,
impartial, ever watchful of our ma.
tional honor, and always insisting
upon the enforcement of the lawful
rights of American citizens every
where"
This is exactly the policy pursued by
the Cleveland administration. 1t has
been firm and dignified" policy,
but that is all. American citizens have
died III Spanish dungeons, our Cuban
neighbors have appealed in vain for
recognition in their struggle for
liberty, but the administration was too
"dignified' to resent the indignities to
our citizens or listen TO the appeal OF
an oppressed people, and this is to be
the foreign policy pursued by Presi-
dent McKipley,
