authorities do not seem to care to enforce

few birds for their own tables. Neither is
II lawful for non-citlzens to come In and
shoot chickens or any other kind of game,
but the law Is disregarded. and sportsmen
from the states go IN and hunt whenever
they choose. This law was originally for
the purpose of protecting the Indians
against intrusion by the whites. when the
former depended solely upon tho chase for

very large, and there are no distractions
in the way, thereby furnishing al all times
a clear view of the birds. From 100 to 500
quail have been slaughtered in a single

than an hour, making several very diff

MCKINLEY AND HOBART.

President-elect Mckinley was enter
tanned at dinner last evening by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, at 7:30
o'clock. 1t was an informal and pr.
vate affair, the only guests hidden be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs. Nc
Kinley, however, was SO indisposed,
owing to the fatigue of the journey
from Canton, that she was obliged at
the last moment to send regrets Mr.
Cleveland had recovered sufficiently
from his rheumatic attack to be present.
Major Mckinley, escorted by Private
Secretary Porter, arrived at the execu-
tive mansion promptly at 1870, in the
President-elect's handsome private car
riage, drawn by two beautiful dappled
gravs. The dinner was served shortly
before S o'clock in the private dining
room, and everything connected with it
was very simple, though elegant. The
only decorations were centerpiece of
pale pink tulips with their own green
shoots. MIR. Mckinley remained at the
White House until 9:l5, at which time
he was driven to his hotel.
While President Cleveland was ex-
tending this courtesy to his successor,
the Vice President-elect was entertain
ing Secretary Porter and some chosen
friends at dinner at the Arlington.
Hon. GaIrct A. Hobart, Vice. President
elect and party arrived in Washington over
the Baltimore and Ohio at 800 yesterday
afternoon. The train accomplished the ex-
taordinary feat of beating all previous re-
cords, reaching Washington from Jer.
sey City seven minutes ahead of the
schedule time. The run of 239 miles
was accomplished in less than pa min
utes. The Vicc-Presdent-elect was welcomed
on his arrival at the depot by 4 number of
friends and was driven to the Arlington, where
he has engaged quarters. One Of the first
calls upon the Vice-P President elect and his
wife was Mr.. Mark A. Hanna. Mr.. Hanna
spent some time with the Vice-President-
elect. but neither would divulgo the nature
of their interview. Late in the afternoon Mr..
Hobart went driving over the line of parade.
He was accompanied by Vice Presidents s. w.
Woodward and others of the executive COM
mittee.

straightout candidate for Governor next
fall, as a gold boiling democrat may
run, in which case they may support
him.
The fact is commented upon that
though Mr.. Cleveland got out of his
sick chair to entertain Mr.. Mckinley
at dinner yesterday, he treated MIR.
Harrison with no such courtesy eight
years ago; but he tried to defeat Mr..
Harrison, but to elect Mr.. Mckinley.

THE CRETAN AFFAIR.

A dispatch from Athens says The
representatives of the powers present.
ed an identical note yesterday after
noon to the Greek government. 1t de-
clares that the Island of Crete will be
converted completely into an autono-
nous state, under the suzeranty of the
Sultan, and demands that the Greek
vessels and troops be Withdrawn with
in six days.
The identical note says that the
powers are entirely agreed upon a
course of action to put an eud to sitn-
alton which it was not within their
power to prevent, but which, if con-
tinued, would gravely compromise the
peace of Europe.
1t proceeds to announce that the
annexation of Crete is impossible, and
that they decline to accept such pro-
posal. The note confers, instead, an
absolutely effective autonomy, assuring
to Crete a separate government under
the suzerainty of the Sultan.
These conditions, however, not being
realizable, except by the withdrawal of
the Greek troops from the island and
of the Greek ships from Cretan waters
or from points where the powers are in
occupation, the powers confidently rely
upon the wisdom of the Greek govern
ment to cease to oppose their peaceful
efforts for the welfare of Crete and the
preservation ofpeace. Therefore, Greece
is solemnly warned that, unless the
aforesaid withdrawal occurs within six
days, the powers will not hesitate to
take coercive steps.
A dispatch from Canea, Island of
Crete, says: The Mussulman gen.
darmes, in demanding their arrears of
pay yesterday afternoon, revolted, fired
shots and threatened to provoke mas
sacre. The foreign marines were sum-
moned, surrounded the barracks of the
gendarmes and fired volleys under the
windows as warning. The gendarmes
did not reply.

Mr.. Cannon moved to suspend the
rules and non-concur in all the Senate
amendments to the general deficiency
bill.
Mr.. Mahon wanted the House to vote
on the amendment making payment
for the Bowman act judgments,
amounting to nearly million dol
lars. There was no reason why they
should not paid the government owed
the money as found by a court of its
own appointing.
Mr.. Wellington made forcible plea
for the payment of these claims due
the loyal men of the south for their
contributions to the cause of the union.
They were entitled to be paid for this,
he said, as much as the people of the
north for what they had furnished to
the army of the union.
Mr.. Sayers antagonized the payment
of the claims, saying he had no conf.
dence in them. If the deficiency bill
was subject to discussion in committee
oil the whole upon these Senate amend
ments, he warned the House there was
no probability of the bill becoming a
law at this session.
Mr.. Cannon called the attention OF
the House to the fact that at q period
less than twenty-four hours be-
fore the Congress would expire by
limitation, there were seven of the
great appropriation bills yet inchoate.
These claims, he said, were trying to
steal their way through Congress in the
closing hours of the session. If the
House should refuse to adopt his mo-
ton, Mr.. Cannon said in conclusion, q
single point of order would throw the
bill into committee of the whole-"and
then it will be more certainly lost than

ment." Oaughter).
