i Amsxs. Feb. 10.—The Official Gazette
today publishes a royal decree commission-
and ordering the immediate dispatch of
additional ships to the island Of Crete.
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 Navigation company refuses to con-
vey them to their destination until the
money for their passage is paid.
Greeks the Aggressors?
LONDON, Feb. 10.—Private and official
advices and private letters; from English
ofiicers 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 ambassadors, 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 outbieak
here was the news of the troubles at He-
raklion. Before dawn one-half the Mo-
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. ‘ .
No Clemency For \Viborz.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-——The president
has denied an application for pardon in
the case of Captain J. H. Wiborg of the
Horsa, sentenced in Philadelphia, March
17, 1896, to one year and four months’
imprisonment for violation of the neutral-
ity laws. The president, in his indorse-
ment, says he does not find that the con-
vict was imprisoned under mandate of the
United States court.
A Powder War Ended.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-—-The powder

for nearly five years is over. During that
time the contending companies, it is esti-
mated, have let between $1,000,000 and
$1,500,000 in profits slip from them, and
the holders of stocks have gone without
dividends. Negotiations resulted today,
however, in adjustment of all difficulties.

sion with forging bills of exchange on S.

nal court (Old Bailey) and was sentenced

Publicly—~Gruy In Opposition.
GosSip of the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-——ln the senate to-
day Mr Daniel (Dem. , 111.) reported from
111% all the ava1lable warships 0f (319000 the judiciary committee in invm 01 pass-
ing ove1 the president 5 recentvcto the bill
{for a new division of the easte1n judicial
district of Texas Being a privileged ques-
tion, the bill received immediate consider-
ation
i Mr. Mills (Dem., Tex.) said the burden
of the presidents objection was that the
judge of the com t, the clerk and the mar-
l bilill opposed the change. For years the de-
Ielopment of 'l exus chad demanded the
rheuge, but every time it was attempted
lherc was the opposition of the court offi—
cials, who desired their convenience con-
sult-ed 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
of the people.
“It is strange to me,” said Mr. Mills,
“that the president does not consult the
15 representatives of T ems—13 in the
other house and 2 in this—instead of ac~
cepting the view of the court officers.”
Hoar Defends Cleveland.
MY: Hoar (Re-p, Mass.) said he thought
the senator from Texas (Mills) lid the
( president a great injustice in saying he
was moved solely by the wishes of the
icourt officers. On the contrary, said Mr.
Hoar, the president took the very strong
position that but 4.) 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 the vote.
The vice president thcn p29 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. Cafi'ery (Lu. )
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. 7
A bill to remove doubt as to the power
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to fill a vacancy in the office of
district attorney was reported from the ju-
diciary committee, in which committee a.
nomination for this office is now pending.
Mr. Pettigrew (Ind, N. D.) then
sought to have the L111 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-
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.
The first question that arose in the ex-
ecutive session was a motion by Senator
Hill 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 trgaty or in its discussion
.that demanded secrecy.
He was followed by Senator Gray (Del.),
3. member of the committee on foreign re-
lations, who Opposed public discussion.
He said that in a matter dealing with for-
eigr‘- 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
papers were ordered to lie on the table
pending the counting of the electoral vote
on Wednesday.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the secretary of the interior to inform the
house what action had been taken to en-
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 .houseiproceeded to the consideration
of District of Columbia business.
Murray Abandons His 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 locking into the prece-
dents and consulting with his party lead-
ers, decided that nothing could be effected
by such a dramatic action, and, as he said,
“some harm might result. ” He has, there-
fore, simply filed the memorials from the
Republicans of his state in the usual way.

Sultan—The} Island of Crete
I Is the Cuba_ of Turkey.
BERLIN, Feb. 9.—A special dispatch re«
ceived here from Athens says it is rumored
there that the foreign warships have com-
menced to bombard Canon, in the island
of Crete.
N o confirmation of the report can be ob-
tained here.
The German warship Kaiseri‘n Augusta.
has been ordered to prepare to sail as soon
as possible for the island of Crete.
ATHENS, Feb. 8.-——-The Greek squadron,
on arriving at Canea, did not salute the
Turkish flag. A
Ofi‘icial advices say that the Mussulmans
are preparing a massacre at Retimo.
The representatives of some of the pow-
ers have expressed to the Greek govern-
ment surprise at the fact that Greece has
sent warships to the island of Crete.
Three thousand people took part- yester-
day evening in a manifestation in front of
the ministry of marine. There were con-
tinued cries of “Long live Crete!" and
“Long live the union!”
It is thought possible that a ministerial
crisis will result from the manifestations.
Cause of the Trouble.
Fighting between the fanatic Mussul-
mans and Christians has been going on for
some time, and only last year Turkey was
forced by the concert of powers to insti-
tute reforms, which, however, seem to
have been of little benefit.
In the last few weeks daily reports of
massacres of Christians have been cabled
to this country, while there has been a tro-
mendous pressure on the Grecian govern-
ment to succor the persecuted Christians.
Last Saturday a. correspondent cabled
that 1,500 Christians had been Slain in the
various villages of the island, while hun-
dreds were fleeing for refuge to Athens.
. Sailors and marines were landed at
Cnnea. on Friday last from the foreign
warships to prevent the destruction of the
city by incendiary fires.
At the same time Turkish troops, aided
by Mussulmans, were marching on Halepa,
a. town in the hands of the Christians,
while the impression was abroad that the
entire Christian population was only
awaiting a signal from Greece to proclaim
the union of the island with Greece.
If the arrival of the Grecian fleet at
Khania has been taken for such a Signal,the
whole island is probably in the turmoil of
war at this time and the foreign fleets have
taken actiOn to prevent worse disorders.
Crete, or Candia, belongs to Turkey, but
has a large Grecian population. Its history
is one of bloodshed since the Turks wrested
it from the Venetians in 1669. It is about
160 miles long and very mountainous,
which makes it hard to keep order.
The progressive spirit of the Greeks has
made them desirous of throwing Off the
Turkish yoke, and revolutions are com-
mon. ' In fact, Crete is to Turkey what
Cuba is to Spain.
Crete lies about midway between Athens L
and the northern coast of'Africa.
Laten—A dispatch from Khania, re-
ceived this afternoon, says that the Chris-
tians about Khania have hoisted the Greek
flag, proclaimed the union of that island
with Greece, and have invited the king of
Greece to take possession of it.
Reforms For Indian Territory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The subcommit-
tee of the committee on Indian affairs ap-
pointed at the last meeting of the commit-
tee tO consider and report upon the bill for
the reorganization of Indian Territory
agreed today to report the bill as an amend-
ment to the Indian appropriation bill. The
bill provides for the allotment of the In-
dian lands in severalty among the Indians
of the various tribes and for the substitu~
tion of federal courts for the various In-
dian tribunals existing in the territory.
Five federal judges are provided for in the
amendment.
General lzoloiT's Arrest.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—General Carlos Ro-
lofi‘ and Dr. Joseph J. Luis, through their

trict court at Baltimore on Feb. 16 to an-

GENESEO, N. Y., Feb. 9. —The grand

PROFITS ON COFFEE.
William F. McLaughlin Explains the Big
. \Voolson Dividends.
CHICAGO, Feb. ' 9.—William F. Mc-
Laughlin, the Chicago coffee roaster, said
today: “James N. Jarvie 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 compaiiy
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 tho 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 $90,-
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.
“The Arbuckles own 61 shares of the
Woolson stock, and the Havemeyer inter-
ests recently purchased the balance of it,
or 1,731; sum-es, 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 3,90 000 dividends would be 5'}; per
cent. I Iepeat that whenever we can get a
profit of? or 8 psi cent out of the coffee
roasting business we feel fortunate in
deed.”
BERING SEA 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 seal-
ing vessels by United States cutters in the
Bering sea, said on his arrival here:
"When the United States commissioners
first appeared in Victoria, they were looked
upon in their official capacity with great
disfavor. The witnesses introduced to give
testimony favor.:ble to the Side of the
United States Wore 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 havc an effect upon the whole
community, particularly when it comes to
taking sides in an international contro-
versy. ”

A YANKEE INVENTION.
A Much Better and Easier Way Than the
Old l'IIethod.
Everybody has heard of poultry
farms, but poultry factories are in the
nature of novelties. Yet one was
started. in that good suburb of New
York town, Jersey City, and was
moved from there to Chicago, so as to
be closer to the raw material. It all
began in this wise. When Governor
Morton was'Ambassador to France he
took along with him, in a very subor-‘
dinate capacity, a constituent named
Williams; from Somewhere tip the
State Mr. Williams got interested in the
French method of fattening fowls. It
was a tedious process, he discovered;
the birds were confined, closely and
h'and-fed—literally crammed with pel-
lets Of dough made of rye and barley
flour, mixed with sweet milk.
Mr. W'illiams thought he knew, or
could know, a trick worth several of
that. He‘set his wits actively to work.
The result being that he put up an ex-
perimental plant and felt Justified in
hiinging his business to the notice of
\ew York hotel proprietors, market
moguls and bons- vivants.
Then he built a factory—a long, 1011',
square building—inside of which was a
big room, whitewashed and as bare as a
barn. Across the end a. little space
was was partitioned ,off.. This was
the factory kitchen, in which milk,
meal and flour of various grades were
compounded into a rich gruel, barely,
liquid enough to flow easily througha
nozzle.
Down each side of the big rOOm ran
a row of wooden cylinders, pivoted at
top and bottom, and turning~easily."All
the outer surface of them was cut into
box-like compartments, 'eachl barely
big enough to hold a good—sized hen.
To be exact, there were seven huno
fired compartments to a cylinder. They
were open at the back and had' a
smooth iron ring, as big as the thumb,
at one side. From this ring a leather
strap was looped around the left leg of
the fowl to be fattened. The birds
were placed bills out. ,
A cylinder was charged all at once.
The plan was to fill two each day, so
as to have fourteen hundred fat birds
coming to hand each morning. Three
weeks was the period of fattening, and
an ordinary-sized fowl gained from a
pound and a half to three pounds while
in the cylinder. The feeding— and that
is where the patents came in—was a
sight to see. The feeder sat in a sling
swung from the ceiling, and five times
each day fed the chicks from a nozzle,
with which he shot the food into their
wide open mouths—New York Journal.

“Perhaps so.” said the make-up, “but
there are mighty few wrinkles that
I’m not on to, anyway.”
