CRETE AND THE POWERS.

Events in Crete are not being allowed
to take their natural course. The
powers propose to step in and prevent
Greece annexing the island and thwart
the desires of the Cretans themselves.
The island, it seems to be the policy,
is to be given autonomy. but the
suzerainty will be in Turkey If the
sultan is to be forced to surrender
half a loaf, why should he not be
forced to surrender the whole loaf?
Is it regard for his rights or for his
feelings, or for both? Turkish domina
ton of any country where a majority
of the inhabitants profess the Christian
faith is a curse; and the majority of
the inhabitants of Crete are Christians.
1t is rather surprising that Russia
should lean so much to Turkeys side
when the Cretans are all adherents of
the Greek church, the official church of
Russia.
This plan to grant Crete autonomy.
if carried out, can only ir-itate Turkey
and thoroughly dissatify Crete; it will
be a compromise measure that settles
nothing and sows the seeds of future
troubles. That Crete could remain
autonomous for any length of time is
improbable. The islands connection
with Turkey would be nominal while
with Greece it would be almost real.
The powers certainly cannot fear to
affront the sultan, and no one is better
aware of this fact than he. For them
to allow Greece to annex the island
would scarcely cause him to even de-
clare war against her, much less 10
make it; while if the powers said he
should not, he would not. II is not
possible TO tell what their purpose is;
it may even be doubted if they have
any clearly defined and definite one
other than to maintain the present
status of affairs, a very unsatisfactory
one indeed. Why their seeming great
solicitude for the sultan? No one can
say. He remains an interested but
almost Indifferent spectator Of the
game of European politics, knowing
well that every sovereign is afraid of
every other one. And this is his Sc
curity. How well he understands his
strength and how adroitly he uses it.

As the inaugural procession moved
along the line of march when Mr..
Cleveland was inaugurated four years
ago, the cheers of the people as General
Fitzhugh Lee passed along showed
him to be the most popular man in
Washington that day. 1t now looks as
though he would be about the most
popular man in Washington on the
day that Mr.. Cleveland ceases to be
president.

What success Commissioners Lund
and Woolley will have in inducing the
Arizona legislature to consent to the
cession of that part of the territory
lying north of the Colorado river to
Utah, it is quite impossible to say.
Naturally the legislature and people of
the territory are averse to ceding any
portion of their lands to another COM
monwealth, but the reason assigned in
a Phoenix dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat why Utah wants the
strip is very amusing. This dispatch
says it is thought in Phoenix that
'shrewd capitalists of Utah want TO
run a railroad to the canyon and es-
tablish a noted resort, and thus utilize
Arizona's wonderful scenic gorge. The
feeling here is strong against ceding
the lands. They will, however, ask
the Arizona legislature to indorse the
scheme
There are certainly some shrewd cap
italists in Utah, so shrewd, indeed, that
they never in the world would think
of building a railroad to the Grand
canyon, establishing a noted resort.
and thus utilizing Arizona's wonderful
gorge. Bless the dear. benighted
dreamers of Phoenix; don't they un-
derstand that all this could be done
without any annexation? Then if these
same dear dreamers hive any business
shrewdness. can they not see that such
a scheme" as this dispatch speaks of
would be a real God-send to Arizona?
What a bright lot must those who
advanced this idea be. Commission
ers Lund and Woolley should procure
photographs of them to show the peo-
pie of Utah what strange animals
there are in Arizona.

New York Herald: One of the pecul-
iarities of American history is that the
glamour of military glory has never cast
its spell over the people. Our attitude
as nation has been one of constant
preparation for war and of constant re-
vulsion of war. Our citizens are all
soldiers in time of emergency, and in
time of peace our soldiers are all citi-
zens. 1t may be said in the same breath
that we have one of the most effective
armies on the planet and that we have
no army at all. That curious paradox
covers the secret of our strength as
nation.

NOT A BLADE OF GRASS.
Through the Great Telescope
Moon Looks Barren.

CHICAGO October 17.-Neither water,
nor air, nor vegetation, nor evidence of
life in any form can be seen on the moon
through the most powerful telescope ever
constructed. The great Yerkes telescope
has already entered upon its career of
scientific usefulness by adding further
proof to the we'll established fact that the
moon is dead world 1t has been train
ed upon the lunar sphere by two of the
best known astronomers of this country,
who are connected with the Yerkes Obser-
vatory, at a time when, by a peculiar
coincidence, the scientists of Paris are
greatly agitated over the discovery of
what is believed to be indications of
rivers and plants upon the moon.
1t was the good fortune of F. L. o
Wadsworth, one of the observatory staff,
to get the first glimpse of the moon
through the Yerkes TELESCOPES. E. z.
Barnard was the next member of the staff
to gaze at the faraway planet, and the
conclusions of the two learned gentlemen
are identical, in that they agree that
neither discovered anything important to
the scientific world.
The peculiar lines and spots noticed by
the Partisan astronomers on the map of
the lunar planiSphere that is being photo
graphed in Muedon Observatory are not
to be seen through the Yerkes telescope.
There is nothing additional to be noted,
but an unusual amount of detail on the
surface of the moon never seen before.
THE moon was a magnificent sight seen
through the YerkeS instrument" said Mr..
Barnard tonight. "One can see an enor-
nous number of small details never seen
before, such as small creators and minute
crevaSseS, but there are no traces of air,
vegetable life to be detected. 1t is pos
sible the lines found on the photographs
taken at Meudon Observatory might be
crevasses. l don't pretend to say what
they represent. l only know that the OBJ
servations taken here fail to give any
confirmation of the theories of the Paris
ian astronomers

PROFESSOR AGASSIZ.
On His Way to FIJI to Explore
Island Reefs

lSIanQ KeeIS.
Once more Honolulu is honOred by a
short visit from the distinguished
traveller zoologist, Professor Alexander
Agassiz. On this occasion the pro-
fessor with his son are en- route to
Fiji for the purpose of Investigating
the reefs there and settling differ
ence of opinion between himself and
Professor Dana regarding them.
The investigation will include the
reef surrounding the island and in or
der to properly explore the reef a
steamer will be chartered for three
months, during which time the party
will remain aboard. At the conclusion
of the investigation the party will re-
turn to Hawaii for a months visit,
spending a portion of the time at the
Volcano.
Professor Agassiz is a son of the
late Louis Agassiz, the great natural
ist. He was born in Neuchatel, Swift
zerland, in 1886 He was educated in
Europe and went to the United States
in 1S49, graduating at Harvard in 1855.
He was for time connected with the
California Coast survey and was also
associated with his father in the mu-
scum of zoology at Cambridge, Mass.
He was curator of the museum in Cam
bridge for u years prior to 1885 and
has been a fellow and overseer of Har-
ward. He is considered one of the
greatest living authorities on marine
zoology,

NEW YORK. October 2O.-A cable
to the Herald from Havana says: In
spite of all his protests to the con-
trary, General Weyler, when it comes
to the actual test of resigning his COM
mand, exhibits a decided reluctance.
He has refused to give over authority
as Captain-General to his duly ap-
pointed successor, Jimenez Castellanos,
although peremptorily ordered to do
so by the Spanish Minister of War.
The situation is critical. Senor Sagas-
ia cannot, it is believed, permit his
Ministry to be openly defied by Cen
eral Weyler. and yet he may have to
resort to extreme measures to remove

MARION Is CONDEMNED.
Old Vessel Made Her Last Voyage
From Honolulu.


From Honolulu.
In all probability the Marion will
never be seen in these waters again,
and her last voyage was the one
which carried her from Honolulu re-
Gently to the Coast While here 1t
was necessary to make repairs on the
foundation to her boilers in order to
enable her to make the sea voyage in
safety. The repairs were made at the
order of Admiral Beardslee who in
spected the vessel almost as soon as he
arrived on the Philadelphia.
Now dispatch comes from Wash
ington that the Board Of Survey re-
ports that it will cost at least $4,000
to put her in sea condition. AS the
law prohibits the repairing of a vessel
when the cost amounts to more than
10 per cent. of her original cost, the
old Marion will have to be condemned.
She will probably be turned over to
the naval militia organization on the
Pacific Slope.
