Present Situa ton in Crete.

What with stirring events nearer home,
American readers have doubtless over
looked an interesting bit Of contempt
rary history now being enacted in what
has ever been the most important island
Of the Mediterranean. After being torn
for twenty-five centuries by civil war,
foreign conquests, and oppression OF the
darkest description, Crete has suddenly
attained liberty and good government,
under ruler OF her own race ana an
guage; and the arduous but noble and
interesting work of creating a civilized
and weli-governed state OUT Of the ruins
Of the dreadful past is worthy OF more
than passing notice.
In the disaster which befeH Greece in
1897. and the failure of the Powers TO ar
rive, for a long time thereafter, AT any
satisfactory settlement with the Cretan
insurgents, the world at large lost sight
OF the fact that Greeces desperate inter-
vention in Crete, by the landing of CDi
Vassos's expedition in the island. really
gained the desired end-the liberation OF
Crete from the Turkish rule. Hal not
that ''wanton and fragrant violation Of
international law" as it was termed, ia
ken place, il is more than doubtful
whether Crete would have been granted
the autonomy which is proving such a
success today. King George literally cut
the Gordian knot by forcing the Powers
to pledge themselves TO real and COM
plete autonomy" as an escape from an
nexation of the island TO Greece; and
it is therefore all the greater pity that
Greece, having once attained this, was
not content to recognize it, but rushed
on TO a disastrous war in which de-
n II az
not till May s, 1891, when applying to the
Powers for their mediation with the VIC
torious Turks, that the Greek government
were obliged not only TO recall Vss5os
and his troops, but to give their formal
adherence TO the scheme of autonomy
promised by the Powers to Crete And
this recognition by the Greek government
forced the Cretan insurgents themselves
TO give I'D their motto of union with
Greece.
The autonomy scheme pleased neither
Christians nor Mussulmans at first The
Christians were already weary of the
word which was associated with so ma
ny broken promises in the past Oh the
part of Turkey and the Powers, and
which had served only to delay the set
Element and prolong the agony of op-
preston and revolt The Mussulmans
on the other hand, knew that autonomy
of any kind, not tempered by the coun-
teracting presence of Turkish troops and
officials. meant the rule of the ChUIs-
tian majority and the loss Of their own
privileged position; furthermore, they
were firmly convinced that no sooner had
the Christians thus gained the upper
| hand than the Mussulmans would be
gradually exterminated in revenge for
past atrocities.

Nor is it clear that, at the time of the
admiraps proclamation March q, 1877
the Powers had any very definite cOncep-
ton of the proffered autonomy in mind
The wording of the promise was elastic
enough TO have been made to fit the old
Haepa charter, which had proved Ut
terly unsatisfa Glory; and it IS not IN
likely that, but for England. the outcome
would have been a fiimsy local parliament
for Crete, capped by the usual array OF
Turkish civil and military governors. It
was Lord Salisbury who, In the first in
stance, refused to oppose Greece and join
in the blockade of Crete unless some def
mite decision were first taken as TO the
future status of Crete. This forced the
Powers, much against the will of Ger
many, Austria, and Russia, TO promise
the Cretans real and effective autono-
my under the suzerainty of the sultan"
Then it was Lord Salisbury who. when
Russia proposed two Turkish pashas
among the candidates for the Cretan
governorship. declared that England
would accept any candidate excepting a
Turk and an Englishman. And lastly, It
was England that insisted, as a salts
faction for the murder of her bluejackets
at Gambia, upon the complete evacuation
of the island by the Turkish military and
civil authorities.
The enthusiasm of the Christians. and
the readiness with which they surren-
dered their arms to the international au-
thorities. proved how absurd the hesita-
ton of the Powers with regard TO the
removal of the Turks had been. The Mos
lens were, Of course, very much dSTn-
cast at the departure of their co-reli-
gionists; but their position was now, II
anything, one of far greater safety as to
life and property than under the protec-
ton of the Crescent. Within a month,
Prince George was appointed high COM
missioner of the Powers in Crete there
by evading the necessity of receiving the
sultan's assent to his appointment for a
term of three years, and landed at Suda
Bay on December q, amid the thun-
ders Of cannon and popular acclamation.
The enthusiasm Of the Cretans knew no
bounds. and the Princes entry into Ca
nea and later Rethymo and Gambia, was
triumphal in every sense.

Special to the Daily chleftaln-

Catoosa, Nov. 24-Last night
city attorney Briedelman, of Tulsa,
arrested two colored gamblers here
who came from Tulsa on the even

she captured white man by her

We are very much in favor of an
equitable agreement whereby the
Cherokee people can get their al
lotments at the earliest possible
moment. To again submit the
old treaty to congress only means
a chance to kill little time. The

willing to fool away any more time
with treaty that is dead accord

UNITED STATES COURT.
Daily Grlst of Proceedings In the
Federal Tribunal at Wagner.

FRIDAY.
The grand jury was discharged
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Sew
enty-one bills of Indictment have
been returned during this session.
In discharging the grand jury
Judge Thomas paid that body a
high compliment on their good
work.
The petit jurors, except those
trying the Gus Lowry murder case,
were all discharged this forenoon
until in the morning at 8 o'clock.
Evidence for the prosection in
the Gus Lowrey murder case was
closed at 2 O'Clock this evening
and'the testimony for for the de-
fence was then taken up, and may
be about all heard this evening;
but the case will no doubt consume
a good portion, if not all, of to-
morrow.
Nose Miller was brought up
from Muskogee yesterday, and it
was expected his trial, on the
charge of killing Zack Taylor at
Melvin, would be heard at this
term of court. The probabilities
seem TO be now that the case will
not be reached during the present
term.

The attempt Of the Downing
party to revive the old treaty and

piece Of folly that will somewhat
discount the party in the estima-

payment therefor various goods, wares

son, was affirmed. The opinion was
by Chief Justice Bartch.
The other case was the suit of James

NOTED '49ER IN TOWN.
Captain Richard Barrow, James Ken
nedy's Uncle.

Last Sunday James Kennedy, the
we'll known mining man, had the pleas
ure of greeting his uncle, Captain Rich
ard Barron, who has been on the coast
for the past fifty Years, and who has
just returned from his first trip in that
time to his old home in Cleveland, o.
Just before leaving San Francisco for
the east, Captain Barron learned of the
death of his brother, Major E. H. Bar
ron, which occurred three Years ago, at
Shreveport, La. and being informed
that it was his brothers request that
should he ever die away from home his
remains should be taken back to Cleve-
land and placed beside those of his
mother and father, Captain Barron was
careful to see that the request of his
brother was complied with during his
visit with his nieces.
Captain Barron is at the home of
Mr.. Kennedy resting up from the ia
tigue incident to his long journey. and
though he is now an old, gray-haired
man, he still possesses a good consti-
tuition and will undoubtedly take pleas
ure in viewing the sights of this his
toric city before again leaving for his
home in Haywood, Cal.

VICTIMS OF A CRUEL FATE
SAD STCRY BEHIND C. M
AAMODT'S DEATH.
Was Forced to Become a Section
Hand to Save His Family From
Starvation.

The funeral of C. NJ. Aamodt, who
met death on the rail in Davis county
Wednesday, will be held at $3.50 today
in the Second ward meeting house on
Second South, between Fourth and
Fifth East.
There is a pathetic phase of the
tragic occurrence outside of the death
itself. The family is practically des-
titute. living in a frame shanty on
East Seventh South. In the front yard
a rude board bears the name of c. NJ.
Aamodt, 'jeweler and Matchmaker -
but it is painfully evident that the I'M
fortunate man could not make a living
at his trade. Last winter he did some
work for Z. J. Swaner, but that was
finished in two weeks, and starvation
then stared them in the face.
Between sobs and heartrending cries,
the bereaved wife told of the poor cir
cumstances of herself and the five or
phaned children.
I'VE were hardly living-only from
hand to mouth said she, land my
husband could not obtain anything to
do at matchmaking. He was a good
workman, but luck was against us-it
always was" Here Mrs. Aamodt broke
down, and the friends attending her
tried in vain to administer comfort. A
few moments later she added that her
husband finally had to take what he
could get, and had gone on the road
as a section hand to keep the family,
to whom he was ever faithful and low
ing, from starving.

ENCOURAGED YOUNG THIEVES
PEOPLE JAILED FOR RECEIVING
STOLEN PROPERTY.
Juvenile Band Stole Six Watches
and Sold Them For Is to 35 Cents
Each.

The Raush-Shagogue-M Meyer Juvenile
Investment company owned up to a
seventh burglary yesterday, this being
the theft of six gold watches from Sha-
piro's loan office on Second South, Sun
day, a week ago. The boys went
through a cellar window, and the rest
was easy They disposed of their plum
der for mere trifies, selling one to an
employee of Sam Englemen, a second
hand dealer for So cents. Engleman
had the watch yesterday and was
promptly arrested for receiving stolen
goods, putting up 500, bail bond for
his appearance today. A second watch
was given to Mrs. McDermott by her
boy, she selling or pawning it for $3.50.
She at present languishes in the city
Jail, where she is no stranger, on the
same charge as Engleman. Another
watch was traded for tomato and a
fourth sold to a newsboy for Is cents.
Synagogue, who sold the watch at En-
gleman's, claims he told the man it was
stolen.

men who buy things like that from boys
are going to be cinched," declared Chief
Hilton last night. 1T is a greater crime

itself, and it has got 20 STOP"
