LONDON, Eng, March 9-Twenty thous-

enthusiasm expressing sympathy with the
Cretan Christians in their struggle for free
resolve to protect the .Cretans, and protest.
ing against the coercion of Greece by the

BERLIN, March 9-Under the pretext of
self-defence the Porte is executing military
plans which no European government would
venture upon without the backing of a pie
thoric warchest, but the Porte's capacity
for military operation was manifested in the
case of the Turco-Russian war Of 1S76-77,
when, as now, the Ottoman empires bank
ruptcy was depended upon as greater
factor in the defeat OF Turkey than the guns
of the Russians. As matters turned out,
though Turkey was defeated, she found
ample funds to conduct creditable cam
paign.
When Won Der Goltz Pasha, the German
general who was lent to the Sultan and or
ganized the present Turkish army, left the
service of the Porte, it was understood that
he was thoroughly disgusted with the way
matters were going. The Sultan has paid
high tribute to Won Der Goltz's services and
has recently besought him to resume his
position, assuring him that he would be the
virtual commander-in-chief of the Ottoman
army. The German Pasha declined
to return, but in reply to the Sultan's
invitation he has sent plan Of
operations to be put in force upon the
Greek frontier, based upon his profound
knowledge of the conditions under which
campaign against Greece must be con-
Quoted.
AS Won Der G0ltZ faSna, Wnen ne severed
his connection with the Turkish military ad-
ministration, occupied the position of second
chief of the general staff ofthe Turkish army,
and was also member of the council OF
Turkish ministry of war, it will be seen that
his advice has had no small influence in
the military operations which the Porte has
undertaken within the last month or two.
Furthermore, the German officers who are
still serving in the Turkish army are known
to be fully capable Of carrying Won Der
Gol1z's plans into effect, and the fact that
many Of the important commands on the
Thessalian frontier are now in the hands OF
German officers may be thus accounted for.
The attitude of Servia and Bulgaria occcu-
pies the serious attention of European
diplomacy. The conferences which have
taken place between King Alexander Of Ser
via and Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria,
have apparently resulted in an agree
ment to make a simultaneous attack
upon Turkey when the time for such
action shall seem Opportune. Roumania is
also looked upon as having the intention to
take an active part In any scheme of rear
ranging the Balkin boundaries that may be
put in operation, and King Charles of Ro-
mania, as a member of the Prussian family
of Hohenzollern, may be relied upon to have
the support of Germany.

contract for building the new Dover

ING last June there were 4O,647 boys

YEAR were $1,925,579. This is at the

crease of 10 cents per pupil over the

The city Of Anaconda is now get
ting a dose of democratic retrench-
meut and reform. The city council
there consists Of four republicans,
six democrats and one populist while
the mayor is republican. Recently
the city clerk was ordered to adver-
tise for bids for the city printing.
At the regular meeting OF the coun-
Gil last week the bids were on the
clerks desk. Before opening them
Il democra alderman moved that
the city printing be given to the
Standard at legal rates. A repub-
lican alderman said the work should
be given to the lowest bidder; that
the citizens had right to be pro
tected and have the work done as
cheaply as possible. The mayor de
clared the motion out OF order, but
an appeal from his ruling was sus'
tanned by strict party vote and the
resolution passed. The mayor vetoec
the resolution and the six democrats
and one populist passed it over his
head. After that the bids were

Mrs Miles, Of Missoula, Ends Her Life
BY Taking Poison. .~

by Taking Poison.
y tragedy occurred last night as a
sequel to the accidental killing Of
Tommy Miles about a month ago.
His aged mother was left alone in the
world after her boy, her sole comfort
and support, had been taken away,
and to the neigh5ors She has often
said since that time that she should
kill herself and leave this sorroWful
earth. Last night at about 8 O'Clock
the Respondent old mother at home
on the school section, swallowed some
poison, presumably arsenic, and
though the ncighbors discovered her
and called in DR.. Hanbridyc, two
hours of skillful work did not revive
the poor old woman, who prayed all
the while that she might be allowed
to die, and at 10 o'clock her prayer
wos granted.
There are no known relatives to
the dead woman in this state, she
had always lived alone with her son
in Il little shack On the school section
and since her sons death kind neigh.
bOrs saw that she did not suffer fOl
the necessaries OF life. Mrs. Miles
is thought to have been over seventy
years of age and was very much
broken latterly. Shortly after hel
sons death she passed the night
weeping on his grave and was con
slant in her yisit ts to the little mounc
in that tear besprinkled plantation
we call the cemetery. She wished tt
be with her son; let her be buriet
near him as her spirit is now in com

Oakland, Call, Aug. l9.-Captain
II. w. Permicn Of this city lays claim
to Clipperton Island and asserts his
title as the bona tidc discovcrcr Of the
tiny ato}l, with it's bed Of guano and
pearl oysters. He asserts that on
May q, 1881, while bound to Costa
Rica in his brig Elise, he first visited
the island and that on July i, 1892,
he visited it again. and hosting the
'ars aHd str; pes, took formal poss-
essjou Of it in the name of the
United States.
Documentary evidence on file at
Washington, copies Of which Cap
tain Pcrmicn possesses, seems to sub
stantiatc his claim and also to prove
the island is United States territory.
Captain pcrmicn states that he
has made known the nature Of his
claim to the agents Of the British
company now negotiating with men
to whom he gave a bill Of sale for
| three -tcnths of the island. IT the
