United States will have in few months

that the Americans shall realize
fully the magnitude of the job

understand what they are in for,
they will pull themselves together, and
plough their long furrow straight and
well. No men better. If there are
only young men at the heads of the de-

soon shake down. Once create high

Gent influence with the American

to render the great expense OF that

there is between the States, cannot well
be told, as the American trade with that

settlement of the Cretan question that

the four powers will agree on the mea-
sure to be adopted in the event of the
refusal of the Sultan, to whom will be
offered as reward for compliance the
suzerainty of the island and the or
gauization of the gencarmerie under

Mrs. LANGTRY's RANCH.-Mrs.

California, and there is little likelihood
of the Lily ever returning to California
to make her abode, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Freddy Gerhard has sold
the adjoining ranch, which he bought
when Mrs Lsngtry purchased hers.
What was once much-talked-of farm
of thoroughbred horses is now only an
ordinary grain and stock ranch. There
is 100000 sunk in the land, $1,000 to
80 900 swallowed up in thoroughbred
stock, and an indefinite amount repre-.
sented in big figures lost in inefficient
management Experts say 100000
would not cover what has been sunk in
the place; so the divorce easily cost
Lily that sum.
