ATHENS. Feb. 10.—-The Official Gazette
today publishes a royal decree commission-
ing all the available warships of Greece
and ordering the immediate dispatch of
additional ships to the island of Cfite.

The Greek cruiser Hiaoulis has started
for Retimo, where the Mussulmans have
occupied the Christian quarter and are
pillaging the stores and houses.

Three thousand Turkish troops have
been concentrated at Salonika in readiness
to embark for the island of Crete, but the
Steam N avigation company refuses to con-
vey them to their destination until the
money for their passage is paid.

Greeks the Aggressor-s?

LONDON, Feb. 10.-—Private and Official
advices and private letters from English
officers show that the troubles in the island
of Crete are undoubtedly caused by Greek
agitators, and that the Christians are un-
doubtedly the aggressors.

The Greek government, believing that
the end of the OttOman empire is near,
thinks it opportune to carry out the long
cherished desire to annex the island of
Crete.

Public officials here and On the continent
regard the situation as serious and as

. threatening the peace of the whole of Eu-
rope, owing to fears of a collision between
Turkey and Greece, in which case it is
doubtful whether the entente of the powers
could be maintained.

The papers everywhere urge the powers
to bring pressure to bear on Greece in order
to prevent further aggravation of Turkey.

It is announced today that Turkish war-
ships and a transport have left Constanti-
nople for the island of Crete, and that, in
spite Of the advice of his ministers and of
the embassadors, the sultan favors the dis-
patch of troops and repressing the troubles
by force.

A Different View.

A dispatch to The Times from Khania
says: ,

“The immediate cause of the outbreak
here was the news of the troubles at He-
raklion. Before dawn one-half the M0-

.hammedans had left the town, and great
numbers fired upon Galata and other vil-
lages.

“The Christians descended from the
mountains in strong force, and during
the next two days there Were incessant
conflicts around Khania, in which the
Christians appeared to have the advantage.

“The efforts of the consuls and bishop
to pacify them failed, and the Mohamme-

dans, whose anger had been aroused to the
utmost, found themselves unable to con-
tinue their expedition into the country.

“The excitement among the Christians
of Khania increased, but the first fighting
in the town was on Thursday. It com-
menced with desultory shots, and in a few
moments became general and incessant.
The shooting continued until dark.

“Among the victims were Turkish sol—
diers, but the troops nevertheless, under
great provocation, behaved excellently.”

Advices from Khania received here this

afternoon say that the Turkish troops and ;
armed Mussulmans have had a fight with ;

the Christians in the environs of Khania.
Fifteen soldiers were killed.

William F. McLaughlin Explains the Big
Woolson Dividends.

. CHICAGO, Feb. 9. —William F. Mc-
Laughlin, the Chicago coffee roaster, said
today: “James N. J arvie made a great
mistake in allowing Senator Lexow to
form the absurd opinion that there is or
can be such an enormous profit as 50 per
cent in the coffee roasting business.

“Jarvie’s error was one Of omission
rather than commission. Had he entered
into a little explanation he would have
left no foundation for Mr. Lexow’s re-
mark, and the latter would have been con-
vinced that the coffee roasters of the coun-
try are well satisfied with very moderate
profits. .

“It is true that the Woolson company
last year paid dividends Of 50 per cent on
$180,000, which amount represents the
paid up portion of the company‘s capital-
ization of $300,000. But these dividends
by no means represent a 50 per cent profit
on the amount invested in the Woolson en-
terprise—its working capital. The mills
were started with $180,000, but my under-
standing is that the stockholders took no
profits in dividends for the first seven or
eight years, applying the net earnings to
the extension and improvement of the
plant. The Woolson company now has
over $1,000,000 invested in its_business—-—
some $1,200,000 or $1,400,000, I believe—
and it is from such a basis, the amount
actually tied up in the business, that prof-
its must be figured. Thus we see that $00,-
000 in dividends, representing 50 per cent
of the paid up capital stock, makes but
7% per cent on $1,200,000, which would
be my minimum estimate of the amount
actually invested in the Woolson mills.

“Thc~Arbuckles own 61 shares of the
Woolson stock, and the ’Havemeyer inter-
ests recently purchased the balance of it,
or 1,739 shares, at a. price said to be $1,150
a share. If this price was correctly quoted,
we see that the Havemeyers’ interest was
$1,999,850, on which amount their share
of the $90,000 dividends would be 5% per
cent. I repeat that whenever we can get a

deed.” __
BERING SBA COMMISSION.

Our Commissioners Succeeded In Estab-
lishing Desired Facts.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.—Don M. Dick-

inson, chief counsel for the United States
in the pending international inquiry into
the extent of damages due to British scal-
ing vessels by United States cutters in the
Bering sea, said on his arrival here:
2 “When the United States commissioners
i first appeared in Victoria, they were looked
upon in their official capacity with great
disfavor. The witnesses introduced to give
testimony favorable to the side of the
United States were tabooed and were gen-
erally made to feel that they were very un-
popular with the people of Victoria. But
notwithstanding all these disparaging con-
ditions the United States commissioners
were able to bring out all the facts they
wished to establish. This antagonistic
feeling in Victoria was one of the very im-
portant factors. It is estimated that 15
per cent of the total business capital of
Victoria is invested in the ocean sealing
business.

“ Those primarily interested are all prin-
cipally sailors and men engaged in marine
business, but their success and their mis-
fortunes have an effect upon the whole
community, particularly when it comes to
‘ taking sides in an international contro-
' versy. ” '

In llcr Father’s Coffee.

SHE Is ONLY 14. YEARS OLD.

Miss Strichternact Appears Incorrigible
and Will Be Committed to an In-
stitution—Plausible Tales to
Enlist Sympathy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Annie Strichter-
nact, a 14-year-old girl, whose father, Wil-
liam Strichternact, a tailor, residing at
401 East Fifteenth street, today confessed
with tears in his eyes that she had a few

[days ago put paris green in his coffee, was

arraigned before Magistrate Deuel in the
Jefferson Market police court as an incor—
rigible. The girl was in the custody of
Agent Roberts of the Gerry society, who
said that in all his experience he had never
handled a child so thoroughly abandoned.

One of the detectives of a department
store on Sixth avenue notified Agent Rob-

erts yesterday that for the previous few-

days a young girl has been wandering
through the store in such a way that he
was satisfied She had run away from home.
The Gerry man visited the establishment
and soon found a little woebegone and
bedraggled girl, who, when accosted, told
him with tears in her eyes that she had
been deserted by inhuman parents and
The grief she manifested

, seemed so genuine that the agent tucked

her Imder his coat and carried her to the
rooms of the society. There the little thin

3 summer jacket which had protected the

, child from the cold was removed and the

' little girl was made comfortable.

In the

‘ course of the next three hours, however,

l the girl, who had aroused the sympathies
‘of those about the institution, had told

the matron no less than four distinct and
separate stories about her dcsertion.

The matron was soon satisfied that the
girl had lied, and so informed the superin-
tendent. Later in the day the child was

taken before Magistrate Deuel in the Jef- (

ferson Market police court and quietly ar—
raigned and remanded in the custody of
the society for 24 hours. She stuck to her
story, however, of inhuman treatment and
desertion until late in the afternoon, when

g she finally admitted to Agent Roberts that

l

her mother had died five years ago, and
that she lived with her father, William, at
the address Inationed. She also confessed

“that She had run away from home on Wed-

nesdaygnorning last. The agent at Once
communicated with the father and re-

quested him to be in Jefferson Market po- !

lice court today. >
An Awful Story. ..

The father came and with great reluc-
tance and big to rs streaming down his.
cheeks told the story of his daughter’s
waywardncss. concluding with her alleged
attempt to take his life. Ever since the
mother died he had restrained her with
difficulty, he said, and during the last year
she would remain away from school and
seek the company of dissolutc young wom-
en in the neighborhood. Intimate friends
told him Of having seen her in the wine-
rocrnsof Third avenue saloons and concert

. hail; of a doubtful character, and always

in the company of young women and

 

 

5 had been the messenger.
_ with this, but she declared upon her oath

young men much older than herself, about
’who 0 depravity there could be no ques-
tion. Three months ago, the father said,
money which he had secreted in his
bureau drawer commenced to disappear in
sums ranging from $3 to $10 weekly. He
accused the girl Of the theft, but she de-
nied it and claimed her 11-year-old brother
Emil was the culprit. Recently the father
noticed that a great many of his intimate
friends treated him with marked coolness.
This he could not understand until one
day a close friend asked him for the return
of that 33 he had borrowed. The father
had borrowed no money and demanded an
explanation. The friend said a messenger
had brought a note asking the loan of $3
and saying that he was ill. Investigation
showed that a‘ number of gentlemen had
given money to messengers upon similar
errands.

Mr. Strichternact at once caused a no—
ties to be published in a newspaper saying
that any person who had received notes
asking for money and purporting to be
from him had been victimized. Then it
was friends told him that the daughter
I-le taxed her

she knew nothing about it and had been
at school every day and could not possibly
have been at the places mentioned.

Poison In His Cofl‘ee.

After his return from work on Tuesday
evening last the father announced that he
would accompany her to school the next
morning and learn the truth of her story.
The next minute the father asked for a
cup of coffee, which the daughter poured
out for him. Becoming interested, how-
ever, in 'hiscvening paper the father for-
get to drink the coffee until it had Cooled.

“Then on the top of the coffee,” ex-
claimed the father between his sobs, “I
saw green stuff. I examined it and saw
that it was paris green. I called Annie,
and without hesitation she. replied with
brutal frankness, ‘Yes. I put it in the cof-
fee to poison you. ’ ” . .

The father went to bed stunned. He
made ready to accompany the girl next
morning to school. She disappeared, how-
ever, without hat or jacket, and although
be searched he found no tidings of her un-
til visited by the Gerry society agents. ,

The girl in court denied the father’s
story and said that she had been a dutiful
daughter, but that the father wanted to
get rid of her.

Magistrate Deuel remanded the girl
again in the care of the Gerry society un-
til tomorrow, When, he said, he would
commit her to an institution where her
future would be carefully watched. The
father left the court crying.

A Discussion Started by Senator Bill’s
“'ish to Have the. Subject Debnted
Publicly—Gray In Opposition.
Gossip of the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—In the senate to-
day Mr. Daniel (Dem. , Va.) reported from
the judiciary committee in favor of pass-
I ing over the president’s recent veto the bill
l for a new division Of the eastern judicial
district of Texas Being a privileged ques-
tion, the bill received immediate consider-
ation
Mr. Mills (Dem., Tcx.) said the burden
of the president’s objection was that the
judge of the court, the clerk and the mar-

 

lhal Opposed the change. For years the (16- ~

i velopment of Texas had demanded the
, rhange, but every time it was attempted

lhere was the Opposition of the court offi-

cials, who desired their convenience con-
, sulted rather than the convenience of the
' public. And so in this case. said the sena-
, tor, the president had accepted the views
. of the court Officers rather than the report
i of the people.’

“it is strange to me,” said Mr. Mills,
“that the president does net consult the
15 representatives of Texas 13 in the
other h.;"¢O and 2 in this—instead of ac-

: cc;.t:cg I. e. view of the court officers.”
Hoar Defend} Cleveland.

Llr. Hoar (Rep. Mass.) said he thought
the senator from Texas (Mills) did the
president a great injustice in saying he
was moved solely by the wishes of the
court Officers. On the contrary, said Mr.
Hoar, the president took the very strong
position that but 45 cases had arisen (in
five years in the locality of the proposed

 

district. That was a very strong and
valid objection. The senator thought
it was outweighed, however, by the

: growth of Texas and its future needs,
‘ and he therefore would vote for the bill de-
spite thc vote. . -

The vice president then put the ques-
tion, “Shall the bill pass, the objections
of the president notwithstanding?" the re-
sult being: Yeas, 57; nays. 1. The nega-
tive vote was that of Mr. Caffery (La. ). -

The effect of the vote is to make the bill
a law without further reference to the
president, as it already has passed over the
veto in the house.

A bill to remove doubt as to the power
of the supreme court of the District Of
Columbia to fill :1. vacan'cy in the office of
district attorney was reported from the ju~
diciary committee, in which committee a
nomination for this office is now pending.
l Mr. .Pcttigrcw (Ind, N. D.) then

sought to have the bill relative to amend-
ing the timber culture laws recalled from

, the president to correct an error. Mr. Hill

' (Dem., N. Y.) interposed the legal point

. that it was beyond the power of congress to

; take a bill out of the hands of the president

' to amend it on matters of substance. It
might overcome the power by withdraw-

l ing a bill from the president when it was
about to be vetoed. The resolution went
over.

] At 1 o’clock, on motion of Mr. Sher-
man, the senate went into executive ses-
sion to consider the arbitration treaty.

l The first question that arose in the ex-
ecutive session was a motion by Senator
' Bill that the arbitration treaty be dis-
cussed in open session instead of behind
closed doors. He said that it was a matter
in which the people were greatly interested
and which ought to be public. There was
nothing in the treaty or in its discussion
that demanded secrecy.

He was followed by Senator Gray (Del),
a member of the committee on foreign re-
lations, who Opposed public discussion.
He said that in a matter dealing with for-
eign governments senators ought to be free
and unhampered in the expression Of their
views, which could only be when the sen-
ate was held behind closed doors.

In the House.

This was District of Columbia day in
the house, and there was every promise of
- a dull session. The speaker submitted to

the house the certification of the election
, of presidential electors in the several states
} transmitted by the secretary of state. The
2 papers were ordered to lie on the table
' pending the counting of the electoral vote
. on Wednesday.

A resolution was adopted requesting
the Cecretary o- the interior to inform the
house what anion had been taken to en-
force the terms of the treaty of 1868 with
the Navajo Indians, by which these In-
dians are required to remain within the
limits of their reservation.

Mr. Talbert (Dem., S. C.) attempted to
secure the reading of a resolution adopted
by the legislature of his state expressing
sympathy with the struggle of the Cuban
insurgents, but objection was made, and
the house proceeded to the consideration
' of District of Columbia business.

 

Murray Abandons I-Iis Coup.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-—-Representative
George Washington Murray of South Car-
olina, 'the only colored member of the
house, who, it was reported several days
ago, would object on Wednesday, during
the counting of the electoral vote, to the
recording of South Carolina’s vote on the
ground that the election laws of that state
were unconstitutional, today announced
that he had abandoned all idea of inter-
rupting the proceedings on Wednesday.
Mr. Murray, after looking into the prece-
dents and consulting with his party lead-
ers, decided that nothing could be effected
by such a dramatic action, and, as be said,
“some harm might result. ” He has, there-
fore, simply filed the memorials from the
Republicans of his state in the usual way.
