cupied flats on the west side Of the

IArt6 B3u Progress Makes No Impreuion
On the Business World.
New York, April ar. @. Dun 4 Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says The mar
kets are still waiting. some sagging
downward and others recovering. The
vote Of the house in favor of Q new tar
III bill has made no impression in busi-
ness. since 1t has been expected since
November that some measure of the
same general character would become a
law. If the bill stands with its proyis-
ion making new duties applicable April
l, chances are that foreign imports and
treasury receipts may be for q time con-
siderably restricted.
The market for products has been var.
liable and uncertain. Wheat closes l cent
lower than last week. and the May op-
ton has declined 2 cents. Current trade
estimates regarding the wheat crop are
q little more favorable. and are some
what more likely to prove reliable as
the advance Of the season makes the
condition Of growing wheat better
known. The cotton and other textile
manufacturers are slowly gaining in
business. though print cloths and most
staple cottons remain unchanged in
price.
The buying Of wool by mills is still
noteworthy feature. being far in excess
OF current consumption. Prices are very
strong. both here and in London. The
iron and steel industry has been stag
gered. so to speak, by the decision of the
supreme court affecting railroads, since
1t Is apprehensive that purchases not
only Of rails. but Of cars. locomotives
and bridge materials may be affected.

Wants Salisbury Condemned By the Hous
Of Commons.

London, April 3.-In the commons yes
terday Labouchere moved that the house
disapprove the advice Of the MARQUIS of
Salisbury to the queen to use the Brit
ish forces against the Cretans or the
Greek nation. He made q long and yio-
lent speech denouncing the policy Of the
government. which he characterized as
q policy fostering a perfect nest of
anarchy and slaughter" He said he
believed that vote of censure would be
proposed before the Easter recess.
Balfour, first lord of the treasury. re-
plying on behalf Of the government, said
that he would welcome the motion of
censure. 1t would give the government
an opportunity to defend its policy. He
wished to reiterate that the great DOW
ers were not siding with Turkey, but
were only defending the lives of Mo-
hammedan Cretans against those who
were not Mohammedans and their allies
The policy of the British government
was to give the Cretans self-govern-
ment. He had not the slightest doubt,
he said in conclusion. that Crete would
obtain freedom, though he could not
speak OF the peace Of Europe. The best
course for the maintenance Of peace was
to second the concert Of the powers Aft

tfcipated in the discussion the matter

Canea correspondent says: Here are
some OF the deeds to which England Is
setting her hands today. During the
week an expedition Of British marines
accompanied by cannon went to Trepete.
Shakia. and examined houses in search
OF provisions. They destroyed all they
FOUND. lest the insurgents should get
them. A day or % later another expe.
dftion Of Britieh marines was sent to a
village near Soline with the object of
nnding flour and grain. Later two war
ships. one q British vessel. dispatched
boats fitted with cannon to Kolumar RI
with instructions to sieze the small mer-
camille craft. The peasants refused to
surrender them. The European force
threatened to destroy the village, WHERE
upon the boats were given up.
British Ships Help Bashi Baxouls.
"A British detachment was sent to
kastelli. where 1t proceeded to destroy
the Cretan houses. Chains were thrown
around them and fastened to ships
which pulled till the houses collapsed.
Another instance Of British measures
was where company of bashi bazouks
attacked the Greek lines at vigla, the
Turkish ships supporting the attack with
cannon. After the engagement was well
under way the European fleet, including
the British vessels. opened fire upon the
small force Of Cretans. who were COM
PEELED to retreat. The Turks then enter
ed the village and began to burn the
houses. the church and monastery"
Christians Fear Turkish Deviltry.
The Athens correspondent Of The Daily
News says: "A telegram from Canea
says that the Christians who returned
to their houses near the magazine, hay-
Ing observed noises of q peculiar char
acter in the night time. began to sus-
pect that the Turks were undermining
their dwellings in order to blow up the
christian quarter Of the city when they
(the Christians) should withdraw"
