Executive Committee Of the Gold Demo-
Gratis held a secret meeting in this city
last Friday. and. after a full discussion OF
the national situation, it was decided to
authorize Secretary Frenzel, OF Indiana. to
issue call for Letting of the National

wise to wait untii after the Philadelphia

an interview yesterday, said:
1t had been hoped that il would not be
necessary TO reOrgsDize our forces this

Mr.. Peabody has received many letters

AN ANCIENT cRETAN PALACE.
Discoveries Made in the Island by
English Explorers

(From the London Mail)
Il has always been known that there
were valuable archaeological remains IN
Crete. but as long as the island was under
Turkish rule IL had never been possible TO
get permission 20 excavate.
Immediately. however, the island was re-
leased from Turkish ruie the various
archaeological schools approached the Gre
tan Government for permission. and the
English school has been one Of the first in
the field
Excavations were begun last month by
Arthur Evans, representing the Cretan Ex-
ploration Fund, and ID. G. Hogarth. the di-
rector of The British School at Athens. on
the site Of the ancient Cnossus. II was
here that King Minos built the Labyrinth
as a prison for the Minotaur, the monster
ultimately slain by Theseus.
Here Mr.. Evans laid bare a large build
ing belonging to the Mycenean period.
which may be dated from 1850 to 1000 Is.
C.. The plan and contents OF the building
show it TO have been a palace like those
which Schliemann discovered at Mycene
and Tiryus
In one chamber of the palace there have
been found a great quantity of clay tablets
bearing inscriptions in the very early
"Cretan script. a system of writing much
Older than the Greek alphabet
Another find Of very great interest is a

Mr.. Hanna had received reports from

that he is unable TO recognize in the Re-

though he recently has expressed the wish
that Mr.. Mckinley be reelected, Mr.
Hanna has not urged him to be in Phila-

probable that the founder feature Of Mr..

character as utterly despicable rs William

Did ever another American citizen pre-
sent such cor temptibIe spectacle? Taylor
has been unti Cow the recognized leader
OF the Republican party in his State. he
is a fugitive from justice in Indiana,
charged with being an acS essory 10 a foul
murder. He is person apparently with
out physical courage. He admits that he
is afraid TO return 10 Kentucky, and stand
trial on the Indictment against him. His
every action since the assassination Of his
rival has been a confession OF guilt. Yet
from the summit Of the hill of shame and
depravity he has built for himself he has
the astounding impudence TO write a fare

We congratulate the party Of Hanna,
