Little Crete seems to be emerging
from the many troubles which have at
f1icted it of late. Order has been re-
stored in the central and western dis
tricts. The inhabitants are displaying
considerable capacity for self-govern-
ment. Each district has local admin
istration with it's gendarmerie, militia,
and system of taxation, and the Ma
tional Assembly is in touch with the
admirals and delegates administrative
functions to officials presided over by a
Cretan. Best of all, the coming harvest
promises to be an abundant one. An
English correspondent urges the neces-
sity for an autonomous government,
but unfortunately the powers move
slowly.

MAYOR Ho0s' DEMAND.
Consultation With Mr.. McDcrmott
About Street Sprinkling.

&AOOA
Mayor Hoos held a consultation with
Corporation Counsel Allan Z. MeDermott
today in reference to His Honor's demand
on the North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany for that corporation to sprinkle the
streets between it's tracks. The object OF
the consultation was to make arrange
ments for attacking the 1898 franchise OF
the Consolidated TRACTORS Company. the
owners of the lease to the North Jersey
Company, leased from the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad Company, the original
owners of the franchise from the city, in
the event of the North jersey Company
refusal to comply with the Mayors de-
mand.
The Mayor was silent as to the outcome
of the ak with the Corporation Counsel
and would not say whether the legal pro-
ceedings to be commenced would be by
andam quo warranto or certiorari-
He did say. however tina the city having
once taken the stand of exaeting COM
pliance to their request, or would carry
the matter to a judicial body for power,
would certainly not recede.
The license fee for each car, $40,
charged by Newark to the company, the
Mayor thinks ought to be enforced in
Jersey City and he opposes to exhaust
every means to attain that end. Again,
he is of opinion that the company should
pay a percentage on its gross receipts, as
other companies do to cities through
which they run, and this point, too, Mayor
Hoos is anxious to gain. Nothing will, OF
course. be done until a reply has been
received from Vice President Young Of
the North Jersey Company. 1t is expected
in a few days.
