GENERALGREENE'S RECORD
THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE
NEXT PRESIDENT.

General Francis Vinton Greene who has con-
scented to accept the presidency of the Republi-
can County Committed. is one Of the volunteer
officers who. like Roosevelt and Leonard Wood,
gained prominence and National reputation in
the war with Spain Before the Greene
was known in Regular Army circles because Of
his high standing as a cadet, for his services
as an instructor at the West Point Academy,
for has writings the subject Of foreign wars,
which he watched the representative Of the
War Department. and for his services as assist
ant to the Engineer Commissioner in charge Of
the bridges and highways Of the District Of
Columbia.
In New-York he was known as the colonel of
the list Regiment. as the son Of the oldest Iiv-
ing graduate Of West Point, member Of many
social and patriotic organizations. and the head
Of a large business concern.
When the war with Spain was over Colonel
Greene had become major-generaI. He had
figured conspicuousIy in Manila under General
Merritt had written comprehensive report on
the operations and on his return received the
appointment TO a post Of great Importance in
Cuba He had become a National figure. and
there IS probably part Of the country where
his name IS not known today.
He is a typical soldier in looks and bearing
and the ward politician the heller and the
thing TO slap him the back General Greene
has given his friends to understand that If he
accepts the place Of chairman Of the committee
h.. viii be the chairman and not the mOuthpiece
Of an invisible power and the people who know
him best believe that he viii make his word
good.
The new Republican leader has had few de-
f4ats in his career. but one Of these probably
resulted in his greatest success. When the old
First Brigade was divided into two brigades
the First and Fifth. Colonel Greene, Of the list,
was an aspirant for the command Of the Fifth
Brigade. which was made UP Of the 9TH, Nth
Goth and list regiments and the ID Battery
The opposing candidate George Moore
smith colonel Of the 69th The election took
place in the 1oardroOm Of the 18th Regiment
and to the surprise Of the Greene men, Colonel
Smith was elected. If General Greene had been
victorious in the election contest he might have
been sent TO Camp Black General smith was.
As colonel Of the list he went TO the front and
had hardly became comfortable in the regi-
mental camp in Florida when he was trans
f4rred 10 the Department Of the Philippines.
where he earned his second star. General
Greene is fifty years old, native Of Providence,
R. l. and is now the president Of the Barber
Asphalt Company.

Az ANCIENT CRET4N PALACE.
WHAT ENGLISH EXPLORERS HAVE DISCOVERED
IN THE ISLAND

THE ISLAND
Athens correspondence of The London Mail
It has always been known that there We're
valuable archaeological remains in Crete but
as long as the island was under Turkish rule it
had never been possible to get permission TO
eXCavate.
Immediately however, the island was released
from Turkish rule the various archaeological
schools approached the Cretan Government for
permission. and the English school has been
Of the first in the field
Excavations were begun last month by Ar
thur Evans, representing the Cretan EXplOra-
ton Fund, and D q. Hogarth, the director Of
the British School at A hens. the site Of the
ancient CnossUs- It here that King MinOs
built the Labyrinth prison for the MInO-
taur, the monster ultimately slain by TheSeuS
Here Mr.. Evans laid bare a large building
belonging to the MycenRan period. which may
be dated from 1900 10 1000 b. =. The plan and
contents of the building show it to have been
a palace like those which Schliemann discovered
at AIycenae and Tiryus.
In chamber Of the palace there have been
found 4 great quantity Of clay tablets bearing
a system Of writing much older than the Greek
alphabet
Another find of very great interest is a well
preserved fresco painting in one Of the corridors
Of the palace. representing a girl in the usual
MycenRan costume holding a slender vase In
her hands. The drawing is good, and the pict-
ure will probably take rank before the
flying fish frescO found by British excavators
in the island Of Mei0s. which was hitherto the
finest known example Of Mycen9an wall paint
