THE TOOOOLON OOOll
Greece Seems to Be Determined to
' Seize the Little Island.
THE PRINCE’S DEPARTURE.
Enthusiasm at Athens \Vhen the Heir to
the Throne Set Out With His Flo-
tilla—Turkey Begs Powers to
Prevent Interference.
ATHENS, Feb. 12.—The sending- of the .
';orpedo flotilla commanded by Prince
George of Greece to the island of Crete
has caused the greatest enthusiasm among
the populace. It was the king who urged
the government to send the flotilla, and as
soon as he had obtained the consent of
Premier Delyannis he personally issued the
orders in order to give the matter addition-
al effect.
When "Prince George embarked, a salute
of 300 shots was fired by the crowds ashore
as a parting salutation, and the people as-
sembled at midnight at the palace and
gave their king an ovation. The students
a the same time paraded the streets, sing-
ing patriotic songs and cheering for the
king and for 'the union Of Crete with
Greece. .
The fighting at Kissamo, where the Mo-
hammedan inhabitants were. besieged in
‘ their houses for several days, was desper-
ate. Thirty Christians and 100 Moham-
medans were killed, and fighting, it is re-
ported, is still proceeding about the Con--
vent of Chrisopyghi, near Khania.
The insurgent leaders have assembled
for a conference, and it is understood that
a constitution and a provisory government
will soon be promulgated.
It is assert-ed that M. Dimitroff. the Bul-
garian diplomatic agent, has been intrust-
ed with a specific mission to negotiate an
agreement between Bulgaria and Greece
for combined action in Macedonia.
Greece Advised to Go Slow.
LONDON, Feb. 12. —-A dispatch to The
Ehronicle from Vienna says that all the
powers have advised Greece not to precipi-
tate matters in Crete and to avoid anything
likely to lead to a rupture with Turkey.
They have also intimated unofficially that
the time'will inevitably come when Greece
will get possession of the island.
A dispatch to The Times from Athens
says that the central Cretan committee is
preparing to support the Cretans with
arms, ammunition and supplies on‘a great
scale. The first installment sailed on
Wednesday with 600 armed Cretans. The
same dispatch states that the departure of
the Greek torpedo flotilla ‘for the island of
Crete was due to the announcement that
. Turkish torpedo boats had left the Dar-
danelles, and that Turkish troops had em-
barked at Salonika for Crete. The dispatch
concludes with the remark, “It is possible
that a direct collision will occur between
the Greek and Turkish forces.”
A dispatch to The Times from Constan-
tinople says that the porte has telegraphed
to the Turkish ambassadors in the different
countries to protest strongly to the powers
in the matter of the result of their inter-
vention in {fetan affairs, and especially to
call attention to the present attitude of
Greece.
A dispatch to The Standard from Con-
stantinople says that the sultan has ad-
dressed a. note to the powers protesting
against their. intervention in Cretan affairs
and the present attitude of ,Greece. He
calls upon the powers to stop the Greek en-
couragement of Cretan revolutionists and
announces that unless this is done the
Turkish government will be compelled to
send troops to restore order.
Justifies Her Action.
The Athens correspondent of The Stand-
ard announces that Gre has addressed a
note to the powers justifying her action on
the ground that it is a duty toward believ-
ers in the same faith and toward fellow
Greeks. As showing the religious charac-
ter of the movement for the union of
Greece and Crete it is announced that the
departure of Prince George was preceded
by a. solemn “Te Deum” in the palace. Ac-
cording to this correspondent, the embas-
sadors of the powers are doing their ut-
most to prevent the‘ po‘rte from sending
troops to Crete, but it is doubtful whether
they will succeed in their efforts.
A dispatch to The Chronicle from Athens
says that in the chamber of deputies last
night Prime Minister Delyannis, being in-
terpellated regarding the mission of Prince
George to the island of Crete and the re-
port that the powers had determined to
prevent Turkey from landing any troops
at Khania, declined to make any statement
or reveal any of the orders given to Prince
George or the captains of his torpedo boats.
He declared, however, that no matter what
happened the government had fully decided
as to the measures to be taken. The gov-
ernment, he said, would act with prudence
and firmness. Greece and Crete, he urged,
‘were bound to each other by inseparable
ties of blood and tradition as well as by
long centuries of common suffering and
struggles. There was no Greek heart that;
would not respond to Crete’s appeal" for
union with Greece. This statement pro-
duced>a great sensation among the leaders
of the opposition, who announced that fur-
ther discussion would be superfluous.
Mohammedans Attacked.
KHANIA, Feb. 12.—A number of Mo-
hammedan families which had been per-
mitted to leave here under agreement with
the Christians while going to Heraklion,
escorted by troops, were attacked by Chris-
tians and sufi‘ered considerable loss.
The warships here at present are:
The British first class battleship Bar-
fieur, 10,500 tons, four 29 ton guns, ten’
4.7 inch quick firing guns and 28 smaller
guns, with a crew of 606 men.
The British first class battleship Re-
venge, 14,150 tons, four 67 ton guns, ten
5 inch quick firing guns and 38 smaller
guns, 730 men.
The British third class cruiser Scout,
1,580 tons, four 5 inch guns and 11 smaller
guns,.147 men. '
The French second class cruiser Suchet,
3,430 tons, four-6.2 inch quick firing guns,
(our 3.9 inch guns and 22 smaller guns,
246 men. ‘ '
The French third .class cruiser Wattig-
nies, 1,310 tons, five 3.9 inch quick firing
guns, 13 smaller guns, 1-80 men.
The French third class cruiser Forbin,
1,848 tons, four 5.5 inch quick firing guns
and 12 smaller guns, 190 men.
The Russian turret ship Emperor Nich-
olas I, first class, 8,440 tons, two 12 inch
52 ton guns, four 9 inch 19'ton guns, eight
6 inch guns and 24 smaller guns, 604 men.
The Russian. armored gunboat Groz~
iastclly, 1,492 tons, ohe 9 inch gun, one 6
inch gun and 8 smaller guns, 120 men.
It will thus be seen that the British have
26,230 tons of warships in Cretan waters,
with 1,483 men. The French have 6,588
tons and 616 men, and the Russians have
0,932 tons, with 720 men. ' o

British Capture at the Palace "if the Emir
of ane at Eda. .
LONDON, Feb. 11.—Sil' George Goldie,
commanding the Royal Niger» company’s
expedition against the emir of Nupe,
whose arrival at a point 12 miles distant
from Bida, the Pulah capital, on Jan. 25,
was announced yesterday, sent a dispatch
from the palace of the emir at Rida on
Jan. 29, saying that the palace had been
captured and that all the members of the
expedition are well.
The dispatches received yesterday stated
that Bida was to be bombarded on Jan.
27. A private telegram today says that
one British officer was killed.
The capture of Bida probably completes
the destruction of tho Fulah power,
and Will most likely add to the territory of
Great Britain in Africa.
The l'iger territOries cover 500,000
square miles, with a population of over
30,000,000 people. The Royal Niger com-r
pany was chartered in 1886.
The empire of Sokoto, of which the emir
of Nupe was the greatest vassal, is 219,000
square miles, with a population of 15,—
000,000. A majority of the natives are
Mohammedans, but a large number are
still pagan.
The trade is large in gums, hides, in-
dia rubber, ivory, palm oil and vegetable
butter.
The dispute between the emir of Nupe
and the Niger company is one of long
standing; and, among other things, grew »
out of the emir’s practice of executing
slaves by the wholesale, after raiding ter-
.ritory under the protection of the company
in' order to obtain victims.
Sir George'Goldie, founder and deputy
governor of the Royal Niger company, has
repeatedly warned the emir during the
past years, and in 1892, accompanied by
Lord Scarborough, he visited Bida and
warned the Fulah ruler that if the massa-
cres of slaves were not stopped the. emir
and his followers would have to reckon
with the Niger company. ,
For some time later the practice com-
plained of ceased, but last year it was re-
newed. The emir raided territory under the
protection of the company, and eventually
it was decided to send a- putative expedi-
tion to Bida.
It consisted of 500 haussa troops, 6
maxim rapid fire guns. 26 mounted Euro-
pean officers and 900 carriers, backed up
by a flotilla of stern wheel river steamers
belonging to the company.
The Fulah army was said to number
nearly 20,000 foot and 2,000 cavalry.
A British expedition is almost ready to
enter the dominions of the king of Benin,
also a part of the territory under the Niger
company’s influence. That potentate latc-
ly slaughtered a party of British officials,
and has recently sent a defiance to the Brit-
ish forces: With the subjugation of the
king of Benin a tract of land will be add-
ed to the British empire bigger than half
a. dozen of our states.
Thus, while all EurOpe is squabbling
over Turkey, England is acquiring a terri-
tory larger than Turkey and Greece to-
gether, with Italy thrown in.

When this is wrong

A woman’s physical

and strength the whole
' ‘ woman becomes
healthy and strong. Dr.-R. V. Pierce of
Buffalo, N. Y., has made a life-study of this
problem of restoring health and strength
to women. His “Favorite Prescription”
is the most successful remedy that has ever
been known for women’s peculiar ailments.
Its sale exceeds the combined sales of all
other medicines for women. It cures the
most obstinate uterine diseases. It goes
directly to the internal organism which is
the real seat of all the troubles. It imparts
vigor and health where they are most
needed; heals ulceration; stops the weak-
ening drains ; promotes regularity; restores
muscular power to the ligaments, thus cor-
recting displacements of specxal organs in
the only natural way. _ ,

How He Cured hlltl'tha o] Longing for City
“'ays.
They had returned from a visit- to the
home of a grownup son in the city.
His face brightened as he approached
the front gate, and he heaved a sigh of
reliefms he stepped up to the well and
began to pump a dipper full of water.
"Hev a drink, Marthy,” he said, “hev
a. drink, ’Tain’t no Polly Nary water,
nor no ginger ale, but ’tain’t the prickle
that quenches thirst.
erin’ fur a drink from this well ever
sence we let" home.”
But she took no notice of his invita-
tion and passed into the house.
“Anythin’ wrong?” he asked when he,
laid down the wood he had brought in
for the kitchen fire.
“No. N othin’ is wrong.-”
“Ye seem sorter silenter than. usual.
Ain’t ye glad ter be back hum?
“Yes. I’m glad ter be back hum.
But I’ve suthin' on my mind.”
”Trouble?” '
“Not exackly trouble. But I’m b..-

"much time in city surroundin’s, I
s’pose.”
"I’m afeard so. We don't talk like
them people does. We don’t seem ter
hev their way of expressin’ ourselves."
He seated himself on the wood- box
and thought it over for a few minutes.
Then he looked up and said gravely:
“Marthy, you ain’t no slob.”
‘tHow dare you use sech language ter
me?” she inquired ihdignantly.
“Whut I mean is thet ye’re a Jim
Dandy.” -
“Whoever said any sech thing again

to her feet in her excitement.
“Aw, that’s all right. Ye’re a bute.
