Special Gable Dispatches to TIE Sun.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-Tho Constantinoplo CORE
s%pondent Of tho F~rankJurtcr Zeitun0 says that
Russia, Great Britain, and Franco have agreed
to appoint Prince George OF Greece Governor
Of the island OF Crete without the sultan's
consent, II such q course shall be neces.
sary, or against tho opposition OF the
individual powers. Prince George has already
been informed OF this decision, and holds him
self in readiness to leave for Crete at any mo-
ment under the protection OF the three powers
mentioned.
The correspondent adds that Edhem Pasha,
the commander of the Turkish troops in Thes-
sally, is displaying increased activity in that
province. which. perhaps, is connected with
the determination to make Prince George
Governor of Crete. The general STAFF in
Thessaly has been strengthened by the
addition Of several officers from Constantinople,
and orders have been given for the construction
of intrenchments at Domokos and Larissu,
Edhom Pasha has just received !, 200, 900 francs
from the Yildiz Kiosk.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Concurrently with the ro-
port from Berlin that Great Britain, Russia,
and France have determined TO mako Prince
George Of Greece Governor of Crete despite
the opposition of the Sultan or the other
powers. news comes from credible sources to
the effect that Germany and Austria, who
have frequently declared that they were neutral
on the Cretan question. have resolved to oppose
the selection of Prince George, and have ordered
the withdrawal of their respective warships
from Crete. If all this is true it signalizes the
collapse of the vaunted concert of the powers
and creates a new situation.
e CANEA. Crete, Feb. 3.-The meeting of the As
sembly at Akrotili to-day was very largely at
tended. The House Enthusiastically Endorsed
the candidature of Prince George OF Greece for
the Governorship of the island and empowered

About IL o'clock last night a man walked into
tho East Fifth street police station and made
motions which tho Sergeant behind the
desk interpreted as meaning that he was

ten questions and answers tho Sergeant learned
that the man described himself as Thomas
I. Lounsbury of 20s Third avenue. and wished
redress for an insult received at a Fourth ave-
nue. hotel of the character OF which he was
rather suspicious because there were so many
Smiths and Joneses on the register. He had
not been hurt, he wrote. but his coat had been
torn.
The Sergeant wrote DOWN that it was not q
police case, but that the man should go to court
for a warrant this morning. AS he was passing
out of the door the man stopped and asked in
a loud tone what the Sergeant's name was.
The Sergeant told him he guessed he
out quick. The man then went to Police Head
quarters. where he said he wished to make a
complaint of discourteous treatment against the
Sergeant. He was referred back to the Captain
Of the precinct, but was not seen at the station

"Whdt do you fneGn?" asked Dauitt.
soning subdued him still He could
have checked her extravaganza, con-
trolled her. He preferred to do neither,
for he knew that in becoming her mas
ter her fear of him would have to be the
weapon in his hand, her secret hate the
result.
His fortune was splendid one. The
actual money spent, great though it
was, troubled him little, but Olga's in
sensate desire for spending helped to
reveal her to him. Her vanity, which
she took no pains to hide, was a contin-
ual affront.
They never quarreled, seldom disa-
greed. Olga was affectionate, SOFT gen.
tie as of old. No man could be insensi-
BILE to her charm. But David OWNED
how quickly the amiable smile would
have changed to stolid dislike had her
whims been interfered with. She went
her own way serenely, no soul in her
life, none in her kiss, loving nothing
in the world save her own white and
perfect body.
David was conscious of these truths,
yet chose not to see them too clearly.
He remained willfully dull sighted. He
did not dare to think, decide, accept.
Why fight the irremediable? Why
plunge his mind in shadows? Why face
the fact that in the most serious rela-
tion of life he had committed an amaz-
ing piece of folly? Rather let him &C.
cept Olga as she was, not the woman of
his impassioned fancy. Let him demand
only what she could give and learn to
subdue his hunger for an existence she
could not be part of nor understand.
Let him refrain from fathoming the
muddy shadows of her soul, by degrees
need her less and draw around himself
the comfort of an irresistible indiffer-
ence. Better so for the peace of his life.
But sometimes memory would trou-
BILE David Temple and leave his heart
sad. He would think of the night he
had heard the pale single whisper of the
damosel who watched from heaven for
her lover, and he would remember how
in that moment his heart had grown
large with joy as he looked at Olga s
face. 1t had really been but the stir of
the upper waves of passion, and he had
fancied the sea depths troubled, but
from that moments ache and rapture
he had known what love might be in a
life when it staid.
