tiOn for Registrar of the Treasury.
Washington March 2.-Although there
are many Georgians to witness the inau-
guration ceremonies, the state will have
but slim representation in Thursdays
parade. The official programme given out
to-day shows that a colored company from
Macon, the Georgia Lincoln Guards, and
the Atlanta Mckinley Club, are the only
military and civic organizations expected
here from Georgia.
A large delegation of black and white
republicans headed by 7. NJ Blodgett of
Milton county, who is candidate for col
lector Of internal revenue, arrived to-day,
also Perry NJ. DeLeon of Savannah. who
wants to be consul general to either
Egypt or japan.
T. II. Martin, president of the Atlanta
Mckinley Club, arrived this morning to
make arrangements for the coming of his
organization. He found that the band he
had engaged for Thursday had been
bought away from him, so he hurried over
to Baltimore and secured another band.
The contract calls for the playing Of
Dixie" throughout the line of March.
Many of the Georgia republicans here
are greatly disappointed because Mai
Hanson was not selected to represent the
south in the cabinet.
The Georgians are not in the least in
clined to shun office, Notwithstanding
their disappointment at the failure upon
the part of Mr.. Mckinley to list Mai
Hanson among the number of cabinet
ministers They brought with them Col
A. e. Buck, who has, for many years
past held up by the tail of the party in
his state with heroism and fortitude. Col
Buck, they say. has a desire to be ap-
pointed registrar of the treasury, the Of
fee now held by j. +. Tillman of Ten
nessee. Col Buck. six weeks or more
ago, made a trip 20 Canton In his own
behalf, and his friends from Georgia say
he is slated for the place sure.
Congressman Hardy of Indiana has his
eye set upon this place also, and he says
he is going to get it.
This information, however, did not
phase the Georgians for they say Col.
Buck has never gone for anything In the
shape of an Office that he did not get, and
they propose to see that he Is certainly
landed in the treasury department, at the
head of the bureau his friends have select
ed for him.

PARLIAMENT AND THE CRETAxs.
The British Policy Discussed in Both
Houses.

London, March Ain the House of Com
mons to-day, G.. N. Curzon, under foreign
secretary, read kilograms received from
the British consul at Canea saying that
the Mussulmans in the island of Crete
had declared that they would not consent
to a union of Crete with Greece, and plac-
ed high hopes in the action of the great
powers to prevent it.
The admiral commanding the British
warships in Cretan waters, Mr.. Curzon
said, wired tlrat the flags which are hoisted
at Selino, Kandamos and Ekritons, show
that those towns are under the protection
of the powers. The Moslems at those
places, however, are in great dangr of be-
ing massacred. The dispatch added that
a report was in circulation that Christians
were exterminating Moslems wherever
they went.
Sir William Harcourt raised a debate
upon the statement made by Lord Sails
bury, in the House of Lords on Feb 25
declaring the policy which the govern
ment intended to pursue in regard to
Crete in the autonomy of that island ard
the withdrawal of the Turkish and Greek
naval and military forces, and threaten
ing to impose force in the event of the
refusal of Greece and Turkey to withdraw
their forces when required to do so.
He began by asking whether the powers
had assented to the proposals and pursu-
ing the subject, inquired how far it was
believed that the autonomy of the island
would rid the island of Turkish rule,
which was the cause of the present evil.
Mr.. Curzon said that the powers would
not allow Crete to be taken out Of their
hands, as the arrival of the Greek forces
upon the island had excited the Christians
and infuriated the Moslems.
In the House of Lords to-day the Earl
of Kimberley raised a debate upon The
subject of Lord Salisbury's statement of
Feb. % by asking questions similar to
those asked by Sir William Harcourt in
the House of Commons, adding that in
his opinion it would have been wiser TO
have joined Crete with Greece than to
have given the island an autonomous ad-
ministration.
Lord Salisbury replied that the pro-
posals setting forth the policy 1t was in
tended to pursue in Crete had been ac-
cepted by the powers, though that part
relating to the withdrawal of the Turkish
troops had met with some opposition.
They must consider, he said, the interests
of the Cretans and take into account the
question whether they desired to become
a part of the Hellenic kingdom More,
over they must sympathize with those
wider views, which favored the preserva-
ton of the paramount blessings of Euro
pean peace views that had Influenced the
nations in deciding upon the granting of
autonomy to the island, which would be
effectual and mean the withdrawal of the
arbitrary power of the sultan. After re-
marks on the subject by other peers the
House adjourned.
