PLUckY GREECE.
Will Hold Out Against Demands Of
the SIX Powers.


the SIX Powers.
London, March 3.-The Athens CORE
spondent of the Daily News telegraphs
that the diplomats on Tuesday present.
ed an identical note to M. Skouzes, min
lister of foreign affairs, demanding the
evacuation of Crete by the Greek forces
within six days, under threat of CO.
ercion. The note informs Greece that
the powers are agreed upon two points,
first, that they will not allow Crete to
be annexed in any form at present, and,
second, that they are prepared to en-
dow Crete with a complete scheme of
autonomy.
Athens, March 6.-Feverish activity
continues throughout the whole coun-
try. Large quantities of arms, ammu-
milton, provisions and military stores
are being conveyed by transports to
Thessaly. The massing of troops on
the frontier is proceeding with the ut
most speed, and public feeling is at the
highest pitch of excitement. Those
taking the coolest view no longer con-
ceal their opinion that in the event of
coercion by the European powers the
center of interest will be transferred
to the Turkish frontier, where the most
serious events may be expected.
Paris, March 6. - The Figaro pub
fishes report of an interview with NJ.
Delyannis, prime minister of Greece,
had by the correspondent of the paper
in Athens. The Greek premier is
quoted as saying that the Greek troops
would not, under any circumstances, be
withdrawn from Crete. They were
there to stay, he declared, and, in addi-
tion to that, the temper of the people
of Greece would compel the government
to invade Turkey.
Greece, M. Delyannis said, merely
asked for plebiscite 10 show that the
inhabitants of the island of Crete are
Overwhelmingly in favor of union with
the Greek kingdom. Anyway, he de-
clared, Greece would prefer to disap-
pear from the map of Europe rather
than draw back from the position she
has taken.
Vienna, March Cit is stated here
upon authority that the porte has ac-
copied the settlement of the Cretan
difficulties agreed upon by the powers,
which contemplates the establishment
of an autonomous administration in
Crete, the withdrawal of the Greek
troops and fleet from the island, the
subsequent withdrawal of the Turkish
troops, etc.
The same authority states that the
admirals of the foreign warships are
preparing plans to coerce Greece into
compliance with their demands for her
evacuation of the island in the event of
her failure to do so within the six days
prescribed.

Failed to become Laws.

Washington, March 5.-Four of the
annual appropriation bills failed to be-
come laws owing to the refusal of the
president to approve them. The sundry
civil, the Indian and the agricultural
bills reached the white house so late
that Mr. Cleveland was unable to give
them that close scrutiny upon which
he insists. He therefore refused to
sign any of them. The general def
cheney bill failed to reach him owing
to the failure of the conference to reach
an agreement. The agricultural bill
was sent to the president February 25,
while the others only reached him dur
ing the late hours of the session.

TRADE REVIEW.
Gradual Improvement in Business
Circles Continues.
county alo1

New York, March 6.-R. G. Dun Sc
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say:
1.-THE slow and gradual Improvement OBJ
served for some time past has continued
during the past week, and without mate
rial check. There is better demand for
most products on the whole, with continu-
ance of speculative buying in some, not
ably in wool, because of expected duties.
Meanwhile money markets continue as
easy and undisturbed as if there had never
been anxiety about the gold reserve, and
fairly large sales Of stocks on London ac-
count during the week possibly because of
international anXietieS have made no per-
ceptible difference in American markets.
Reports of probable needs abroad have
helped speculation in wheat somewhat,
but it has risen about cents, though
the price is still lower than two weeks
ago. Corn is cent stronger, about the
price of two weeks ago. Cotton has de-
clined an eighth, and with good reason.
for although receipts from plantations fell
off, the decrease is not greater than the de-
crease in consumption, owing to the stop
page of mills. While many Of the mills
have stopped production Of cotton goods
for time, the general outlook is, on the
whole, unchanged, and the demand for
goods does not improve, while print cloths
are a shade lower. The demand for wool
has diminished though only little, and
sales are quite third more than the full
consumption of mills, if all were at work,
but the speculative buying continues.
1.-THE boot and shoe industry can reckon
a good many more shops at work, and
shipments have been as large for the past
four weeks as in any previous year. The
market for materials has not changed to
any important extent. While the demand
for Bessemer pig has sustained the recent
advance of s1075 per ton at Pittsburgh
and gray forge IS still quoted at $40
there, and there is also less cutting of
prices to get more business in finished
products, the general range of price still
continues very low. Wire nails have been
advanced by very heavy buying to $1.40
per keg, without change in cut nails, which
are dull, and there is less evidence of east
ern mills selling rails below 500, except for
export, some sales of that character hav-
ing been made at SIS. Western makers
are said to be firm at $21 per ton. But
the demands of most important railways
have been supplied for the present, the
consumers Of billets are not in the mar
ket just now, and with somewhat larger
production of pig iron it may be doubted
whether outside of rails the demand for
finished products equals the capacity or
works.
Failures for the week have been A6 In
the United States, against 2S5 last year,
and So in Canada, against 6S last year"

FLOODS AGAIN.
Heavy Rains Do Great Damage Over
q Wide Area.

Wide Area.
Cincinnati, March 6.-The recent
heavy rains, amounting almest to a
cloudburst, have caused sudden SWELL
ing OF all the little streams. Great dam
age has been done to the gardens along
Mill creek, which is a raging torrent.
Both the steam railroad and the cleo
trio line TO College hill are closed on ac-
count of flooded tracks. The town of
Lockland, O., is inundated. At Som
minsville, in the northern part of the
city, the flood is doing more harm than
the recent high water of the Ohio, be-
cause the latter was still back water,
while this is raging torrent. Houses
weakened by the Ohio river were moved
from their foundatio by this overflow
st. Louis, March Cat midnight
Thursday night the rain which had
fallen steadily for 36 hours suddenly
became of cloudburst proportions and
all the low lying parts of the city were
soon under water. The river Des Peres,
which drains about IL square miles of
the city's western suburbs, overfowed
its banks and the villages of Chelten-
ham, Clifton, Howard, Benton, Ellen
dale and Edgewood were waterbound.
A footbridge at the Sublette avenue
crossing was carried away and two men
were drowned.
Evansville, Ind, March Ga land
slide, result of the rains, occurred
Friday on Ben Wipplemeier's farm five
miles below Evansville on the lower
Mount Vernon road. An acre of ground,
together with an apple orchard, was
swept on to the road, completely block
aiding it.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 6.-The
flood has caused an enormous amount
of damage in this city and throughout
the state. Street car traffic has been
impeded and the flooded tunnel under
the Union station necessitated round
about routes for several south side
lines. The greatest damage came to
Jackson park, on the north side, where
200 acres were flooded by Fall creeks
overflow. Nearly all the wagon bridges
in the vicinity of North Vernon were
washed away. Half the residents of
| Vernon were compelled to move to
higher ground and number of houses
were carried off by the high waters.
Portland suffered deluge and the town
was partly submerged. Martinsville
was completely isolated and three
quarters of mile of the Big Four tracks
was washed out. Half of Washington
| is flooded and many families are home
less. Enough is known to place the
property loss at 100000 in Lawrence
county alone.

M'KlNLEY'S CABINET.
All Nominations Confirmed Though
Some Criticism Is Made.

All Nominations Confirmed Though
Some Criticism Is Made.
Washington, March 6. = President
Mckinley Friday sent to the senate the
following nominations:
John Sherman, of Ohio, to be secretary of
state.
Lyman J. Gage. of Illinois. to- be,secre-
Russell A. Alger, Of Michigan. to be Sec
rotary Of war.
Joseph McKenna. of California, to be at
James A. Gary. Of Maryland. to be post
master general.
John d. Long, Of Massachusetts,, to be
secretary of the navy.
Cornelius NJ Bliss, of New York, to be
secretary of the interior.
James Wilson, of Iowa, to be secretary
of agriculture.
The senate confirmed Mr.. Sherman
as secretary of state and took recess.
The other cabinet nominations were
referred to the proper committees, and
they at once took them under consider
alton. The usual custom of the SEN
ate is to confirm any man who has been
member of the senate, and for this
reason Mr.. Sherman's nomination was
Immediately acted on.
In the afternoon the senate took up
the nominations which had been re-
ferred to committees and all were con-
firmed. Silver senator's took occasion
TO criticise the position taken by Mr..
Gage on the silver question, and the APP
pointment of Mr.. Bliss was found fault
with on the ground that he lacked legal
training, quality said to be absolutely
necessary in one who would administer
the interior department successfully.
One objection would have been suffi-
cient to send any of the nominations
over the day, but the senator's said they
had no desire to hamper the president
in the selection of his confidential adj
visers. Hence they would content
themselves with pointing out defects
in the selections.
