Greece Must Retire, Bag and Bag
gage, From Crete.

St. Petersburg, March IA. = The official
st. Petersburg Journal says this morning;
we recently stated the reasons when
determined the attitude of the imperial
government as to the Cretan insurrection
Unfortunately they do not seem adequately
recognized at Athens. Humanitarian mo-
tiyes actuated the powers more than any
other consideration, as has been shown by
The action OF the powers toward the Hell
lenic government. The Greek note in re-
ply to the powers endeavors, III spite Of
the practical utility of system Of auton-
only for Crete, to prove that annexation
to Greece will alone end a state of an
archy.
"Whjie consenting to recall her ships,
Greece persists that the cooperation of
neg troops is necessary to the pacification
OF the island, after which a plebiscite
should decide the fate Of Crete.
Such an attitude is unsatisfactory. The
powers did not in the present case consult
the opinion of the Greek government.
They simply expressed to Athens in sutti-
cient terms the decision imposed by cir
eumstances, Whereunto it was for Greece
10 conform. In refusing to heed this de-
Cision Greece gives clear proof that under
pretGSt OF assuring q condition OF peace
and order III Crete she is really pursuing
a much less dsinterested object, namely,
annexation by surprise.
The powers are too unanimously re-
solved to maintain peace in the east to
sanction such designs. They find them
selves compelled, though much against
their VIII, to have recourse to vigorous
measures, which they shrink from adopt
ing, in regard to the Greeks. AT the same
limo they will have IN the reserves at
their disposal 4 sure means Of pacifyng
Crete without the cooperation of the
Greek troops. 1t is hoped that Greece,
seeing that the powers are firmly resolved
not to Shrink from any measure of coer
cion necessary, will give way, thus exor-
cising the danger with which her present
attitude threatens European peace

Easier Feeling Account of France
Acting in Concert.

London March 1.-THE decision of the
French chamber of deputies approving
the policy of France adhering to the con-
cert Of the powers had a good effect up
on the stock exchange here. Consols went
up 5-16. Foreign securities were firm.
Later prices on the stock exchange re
lapseu somewhat on the weakness of
Paris ANA Vienna markets. 1t ru-
mored the crown prince of Greece had
started for Thessaly.
According to the Times dispatch from
Athens. tendency toward dependency
is beginning to show itself in the Greek
capital, the last hope of rupture in the
concert Of Europe having been shattered
by the decision Of France to join in co
crcon. The dispatch adds:
There is much speculation whether the
forces of the powers will proceed to ac-
tive measures against Colonel Nassos'
troops. While it is formally announced
troops ana ships in Crete to oppose force
by force it may be doubted whether or
ders really will be given. Brave words,
however, are Indispensable in the pre-
vailing popular mood. The king and gov
ernment have no choice but to swim with
the tide
The Daily Mail says: '"The vagaries of
a certain continental sovereign are caus-
ing profound anxiety in his family and
especially to diplomats, who recognize
that the concert Of Europe may at any
moment be disturbed Pinching guests and
trying to trip them with his sword are
among the antics attributed to the in
sane sovereign
The paragraph Enthusiastically hints at
Emperor William of Germany.

RAILROADS AND THE BUDGET.
The People VIII Soon Know the Pol

Victoria, B. c.. March 15.-The people
will soon know now what IS the proposed
railway policy of the government about
which promises We're given at the open
ing of the session, tor the premier today,
in answer to q question from the leader OF
the opposition, said the policy would be
presented this week or next.
The time for the budget speech, the
great event of the session, is nearing, as
Il preliminary motion was made today by
Turner 1t is expected the estimates will
be brought down about Friday
disappointment was expressed over the
anticipated reading OF the water clauses
bin today, as when Attorney General
IIberts got up to explain the bill, on a
motion for second reading, he was asked
by the leader OF the opposition to put it
OF a day. This he did out of courtesy,
though ready to go ahead.
A lot of private bills advanced a stage
or two this afternoon. One of the interest
ing features was the presentation of
petition from w. De Lemaistre and 9TH
ers, Cbjecting to private bills asked for
the incorporation of the British Columbia
Power and Light Company. They claim
that they have judgments against the
Noctenay Water Supply Company, and
that the transfer last August of the plant
of that company to George Archer for a
consideration OF 81 was fraudulent and in
tended to dCfraud the creditors, and that
if the legislature allowed the bill to pass
ROW it will prejudice the rights of the Pc
titioners, who now have the matter before
the courts.
The druggists are kicking to the legisla-
ture against the action of a local council

The BLOCKADE Or CRETE
POWERS EXPECT TO CLOSE THE
ISLAND PORTS TODAY.
Foreign Squadrons Later May Shut
Or Communication With the
Hellenic Capital.

Rome, March 15.-It is officially an
nounced here this, afternoon that the re-
suit Of the pour parleurs of the powers
yesterday is a definite agreement not to
reply 10 the Greek note, but to issue or
Gers to the foreign adm1rals to establish
an immediate blockade OF Cretan ports,
which will probably go in full operation
tomorrow.
This agreement is somewhat in the ma
ture Of q concession to Russia and France.
Russia during the middle of last week
proposed, with France seconding the
proposition, another joint note to Greece,
insist ting, on the withdrawal of the troops
instead of an Immediate resort by the
powers to force. Russlas action was in
Spircd, 1t is officially stated, by a certain
sympathy for Greece, but so many objec-
t1cns were raised by each power in turn
to the suggestion that the course has
finally been agreed upon. 1t is thought
the simplest way to carry out the threat
made i'll the identical note will be the
blockade of the Cretan ports and the
landing of forces sufficient to insure the
of order, leaving further ac-
ton as to the fate of Crete to later nego
tiationS. This was the view of Russia a
the outset.

Attorney General Eberts went into a
lengthy explanation of the bill. the main
features of which have been already pub
lished, when the bill was first read. The
guiding principle in the bill, he stated
was that it was considered essential by
the government in the public interest that
as far as possible specific and adequate
provisions should first be made to render
all water rights vested in the crown

people of the province for domestic, aeri-

Canea, March 14.-Pillaging began yes

place, and has continued today. The
bishop of Nicephere remains here, though
alone in the hope of being able to save
the Metropolitan church from pilage.
The landing Of European troops is ex-
pected Immediately. The insurgents main
tain a ceaseless cannonade at Spnalonna.
The foreign admirals have not yet
been informed as to the decision of the
powers on their proposals of a week ago.
Yesterday they telegraphed their respec
tive governments asking that detach-
ments of sailors, equal in number to those
already landed at Canea, Retimo, Can
dia and Sitia be sent Immediately to re
lieve the present force, whose work is
most harrassing, comprising as it does the
double function of police and firemen.
The admirals have been instructed to
confer with the consuls to the best
means of proclaiming the fact that Tur-
key has granted Crete complete autono-
my. The hope is entertained that such a
measure will help pacify the island.
Great Britain has instructed Colonel
Chormside and Major Bor to remain in

The other consuls will soon receive SINH

A Russian cruiser brings news that the
insurgents bombarded Kissamo yesterday.
The town was set on fire in several places
