REGULAR EXODUS.
Of Mohammedans Has Set In from tAA
 Island Of Crete.

or M0hammedans Has Set In from thA Island Of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans
 from Crete has set in, and, as there
 seems to be no way of stopping it, 1t
 is believed that the Porte will soon
 make virtue of necessity and pass the
 word for all true Mussulmans to quit
 the island. Although large sums of
 money have been distributed at Can-
 dia among those willing to stay, be-
 sides free gifts of timber for the re.
 construction of their houses, boats con-
 tinue to leave crowded with emigrants
 The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers. has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- ored, in certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain It is gen. orally admitted that each family is worth a considera b1e sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry. but the Christians, having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try. so far as 1t lies within their power to do so. This is at all events, an ef- fectiye way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.
