iltimatum Served by Means
of Individual Estes.
LONDON, Illarch 4.—There is consider-
able comment in diplomatic circles hero
upon the fact that the ultimatum of the
powers to Greece, which was delivered yes-
terday and calls for the withdrawal of the
Greek troops and fleet from Crete and
Cretan waters within six days, beginning
at noon yesterday, was in the form of iden-
tical notes instead of a. collective note, the
latter being of a. much stronger character.
This fact leads to the impression that the
unanimity of the powers is not so conclu-
sive as the ministers seek to suggest by
their utterances. The situation creates
fears that, while Greece may be bent to the
will of the powers without further coer-
cion, fresh jealousies will arise as soon as
the Greeks are ousted and the inaugura-
tion of the new regime in Crete begins.
It is suggested in some quarters that
events may force Lord Salisbury to desert
the concert of the powers and declare that
Great Britain will not authorize the coer-
cion of Greece. But this involves an in-
stant diplomatic quarrel with Russia. and
Germany and possibly war with one or
both. Other persons, tired of the eastern
question and of being driven hither and
thither by Russia, are desirous of proceed-
ing even to this length in settling the mat-
ter finally.
The latest news from Athens indicates
grave fears that Greece will refuse to com-
ply with the demands of the powers to
withdraw her troops and fleet from the is-
land of Crete within six days, dating from
noon yesterday, preferring to adopt a pol-
icy of desperation.
It is, however, generally recognized that
the measures proposed by the powers, in-
cluding the granting of autonomy to Crete
under the suzeraint-y of thesultan, are the
best EurOpe could have adopted in view of
the present complicated L-i'cumstances,
when the whole Balkan peninsula. is ready
to ask an equivalent for anything ob—
tained by Greece.
Are the Powers 8. Unit?
CONSTANTIXOPLE, March 4.——The col-
lectivc note, signed by the ambassadors of
the six powers, which was presented to the
Turkish government yesterday, declares
that the powers are desirous of stopping
the deplorable conditions in Crete? due to
the delay in the execution of the reforms.
They consider that complete autonomy
should be conferred upon Crete under the
suzerainty of the sultan and conclude
with stating that Greece has been called
upon to withdraw her military and naval
forces from Crete.
The note makes no mention of the with-
drawal of the Ottoman troops from Crete,
but this, as well as the details of the fu-
ture administration of the island, will be
dealt with in subsequent notes. It is be-
lieved that the Turkish government will
not raise objections to this plan for the
settlement of the Cretan question. There
is little confidence, however, in political
circles that the proposed new regime in
Crete will constitute a. permanent settle-
ment of the troubles, and it is believed
that the pacification of the island will be
exceedingly difficult.
More Fighting Reported.
KHANIA, Island of Crete. March 4.—An
engagement lasting two hours took place
last evening between the Greeks on the
heights of Malaxa and the Bashibazouks of
the villages of Narakoron and Tchlkatrie.
Bridesmaid and Best Man Marry.
NEW BRUNSWICK, March 4.—Elizabeth

During the ceremony the best man and the
bridesmaid suddenly decided to marry.
Father O’Grady at their request performed
a second ceremony.
A Penthouse Burned.
=SOMERVILLE, Mass, March 4.—The city
pesthouse, near the Medford line, was set
on fire today and burned. The building
was unoccupied and was so far away from
the nearest fire station that it was almost
in ashes when thesdepartment reached the
scene. The pesthouse in Chelsea was
burned a few days ago, and there is a. be-
lief that the some persons burned the Som-
erville house.
Rubber Mills May Resume.
WOONSOCKET, R. I., March 4.—Presi-
dent B. D. Evans Of the United States
Rubber company, Colonel S. P. Colt,
treasurer of the National India Rubber
company, and other officials of the United
States company have been inspecting the
mills in this section, and it is believed
that the idle ‘mills of the company will
soon resume operations.
Dangers of Thin Ice. ‘
_BUFFALO, March 4.——-In sight of four
other fishermen, yet beyond their reach,
C. Eberle, a fisherman, was drowned in
Lake Erie about six miles from the break

for hours after that anduntil dusk he,
returned the salutes of the thousands
of marching men that filed pra-st‘hi-m.
It was nearly 7 o’clock before the Pres-
ident was allowed to retire to the White
House, where he took his first meal
as Chief Executive of this great nation.
But he was not allowed to tarry over
this feast, for he had to dress and
prepare to go to the inaugural ball.
He was expected to arrive there shortly
after 9 o’clock, and the Committee of
Escort waited upon him and conveyed
the party in carriages to the Pension
building, where the ball was held.
On his arrival at the entrance he was
met
which conducted him on the tour
around the ball room, and then to the
rooms reserved for his use in the first
balcony. Here the President and Mrs.
McKinley, Vice—President Hobart and
Mrs. Hobart held a. reception. Be—
fore midnight the party was Ob-
1iged once more to descend to the floor,

great dancing floor to the rooms where

with supper.
At midnight the President and his

When the President awakes the next
morning the great burden and responsi—
bility that will rest upon his shoulders
[or the next four years will make itself
felt. He will find the VVhi-te House
besieged by callers, and office seekers
galore will swarm about him. The
first thing he will do after he break—
fasts, no doubt, will be to prepare lthe
list of nominations of his new Cabinet,
for when the Senate meets at 12 o’clock
the President is expected to name his
official famlly to that body, and ask
them to exercise their constitutional
privilege of confirming the nomina—
lions.
The Decorations and Menu.
The decorations are entirely of yel—

oeing wrapped about the pillars of the
corridor and hung in alternate dra-
peries from every part of the wall. ' Not
a particle Of ceiling or wall was seen
except what is in white or yellow, while
in the center of each Of the three sec-
tions of the roof was hung a. dome
covered with white and yellow. From
this dome immense streamers were
lrawn to the sides of the walls, so that
the effect. was that o-f.a white and
yellow strip (1 roof.
The flora decorations were on a
most elaborate scale, ,and consisted
exclusively Of growing plants. About
the large mlarrblezized pillars ’were twin-
ed long wreaths cf maideuhair ferns.
At the foot tall palms reared their

lofty heads.
The entire ceilings and walls were
covered over with the yellow and white
cloth and with ferns and snrilax, while
at the pillars there were nearly every
description of plant known. The whole
place was a huge greenhouse.
The tables were set in the main
building in the lower corridor running
along the north side, and they were
in lthe rooms as well as in the halls.

The Expenses of Inauguration.
The expenditures of all kinds made
necessary in preparations leading to
the pageant of March 4 and the follow-

HANNA. ,
The train on which Major McKinley
and his party came from Canton, ar-
IRS.
rived on Tuesday morning. After
leaving the train the President-elect
and his party took carriages and were
'lriven up the avenue. The great
zhoroughfarc was thronged with crowds
of enthusiastic and patriotic citizens,
who gave the President—elect a wel-
come worthy of so distinguished and
popular a citizen. The Presidential
party drove to Fourteenth street, and
stopped at the ladies’ entrance to the
Ebbitt House.
For the last month or more Proprie-
tor Burch, at the Ebbitt House, has
r)een preparing the apartments to be cc—
3upied by Major McKinley and his par-
ty. During his Congressional life the
President-elect lived at the Ebbitt
House, occupying a modeSt suite of
apartments on the third floor of that
well-known hostelry. Mr. Burch, re-
membering, this determined to fix up
:he old rooms and let them'be a part
)f the floor taken by the Presidential
)arty. So it happened that Major and
llrs. McKinley occupy their Old rooms,
but they are so changed and beautified
:hat the McKinleys hardly recognized
hem. They look out on Fourteenth
street. As there are some fifty-or sixty
aersOns in the immediate party, almost
the entire floor is given over to them.
Wednesday night Major McKinley
lined at the White House with
the President and Mrs. Cleveland.
The President’s children have been re—
noved to the new home at Princeton,
tnd Mrs. Cleveland and the President
were alone in the big house.

It is confidently expected by the ex-
:cutive committee in charge of the ar-
-a.-ugements that the receipts from all
sources coming into the hands as rev-
anue will not be far short Of $80,000.
[‘his sum will be realized by the sale
If privileges, ball tickets and other con-
:essions. As presidential inaugurations
lave grown more and more elaborate
he committee has found a continually
liminishing surplus remaining after a.
rettlement of all accounts. It has be—
:ome the custom to devote the excess
lrf receipts over expenditures to charit-
Lble purposes in~the District of Co-
umbi-a. ,
The committee having in charge the
nrauguration of Mr. Cleveland four
rears ago was left with but $3,000 when
tll expenses had been adjusted.
The chief source of revenue to the
:0mmittee arises from the sale of tick-
ats to the inaugural ball. No compli-
neutary tickets are issued. Each per-
zon attending must pay $5 for the priv~
alege. In this way, if 10,000 people at-
:end, the’ receipts from that source
alone will reach $50,000.
The largest single item of expense to
be met by the committee is for dec-
orating the inaugural ballroom. For
this work the total sum of $15,000 will
be expended. Three separate contrac-
tors will have charge of the decora-
tions. One will furnish the flowers,
another the bunting and ~a. third the
electric lights.
A beautiful souvenir, prepared at the
expense Of the committee, was given
free to each purchaser of a ball ticket.
These souvenirs were not offered for
ale and the only manner in which they
:an be obtained is by purchasing a
.:icket.
The grand stand in the White House
lot, a rather ambitious architectural
contrivance, was faced by the Mark
Hanna stand, occupying the entire
length of Lafayette Square. They
called it the Mark Hanna stand be-
cause Mr. Hanna. had engaged 250 seat-w
on that stand for the use of members
of the National Committee and their
families.

A" FIGHTING
Two Hunters Found Bruin Dial-rent Game
{roux l’ossunzs.
Frank Layne, James Bur-chill and
Petrr Smith, with their dogs, started
out ‘possum hunting the other night.
The weather was clear and cold. Two
miles had been covered when the dogs
began barking and started off at top
speed with their nOses way to the
ground.
"Hurry up,” said Layne, as he broke
into a. run. The young men needed no
second bidding. The dogs were CE in
the woods howling like mad. As the
men drew nearer the howling grew
louder. A vigorous rap against a soft
body, followed bya howl of pain caused
the hunters to make a fresh burst of
speed. 'A minute later they came upon
the scene; a bear sat with his back
against a tree, and his paws sawing the
air. In the glare of the torches his
eyes glowed like balls of fire.
"Kill him, Pete,” shouted Layne.
Smithers fired both barrels of his gun
. at the bear, who leaped into the air
with a bowl of pain and then made
straight for Smithers, who, in less than
ten seconds was rolling over the ground
with the brute.
“Kill him,” shouted he, as he strug-
gled with the weight of the bear and
the dogs. Layne thrust his torch in the
hour’s face, and ;,with a snarl the bear
let go his hold and tumbled over. In
an instant the dogs were tearing at his
throat, but the bear was soon on all
fours again.
Smithers clothing hung in shreds and
his face was smeared all over. with
100d.
“Did he hurt you?" said Layne.
“No, but the blood off his face
where the shot struck him neatly
blinded me.”
For a moment, men, dogs and bear
all stood in the Open space, all panting
hard; then, as 0:15 of the dogs made a
leap at the bear, me battle was renew-
ed. Smithers reloaded his gun and for
a second time let both barrels go. The
shot did no more damage than to tear
away part of the skin of the bear’s right
shoulder.
"If we don't kill him he will kill the
dogs. sag: Sin-chill, as one of the dogs
was knocked across the open with a.
broken neck.
Layne seized a stone and hurled it
with all his might at the bear, hitting
him on the head and knocking him
oucr. Burchill sprang at the bear and
began beating it with a club.
“Now we have him,” said Smithers,
but he made a mistake. The bear roll-
ed itself up into a ball and then
straightened itself out with a phenom-
enal suddenness. The men and dogs
were unprepared for this and before
they could get out of the way they were
all sprawling on the ground. Before
they could rise the bear made off in the
darkness of the woods. Less than a
minute later the dogs were after him,
but the men had enough of bear fight-
ing and called the dogs off and started
homeward. Siuithers concluded the
story of the fight with the remark:
“The next time we go ’possum hunt-
ing you can bet we will go loaded for
bear.”—-St. Louis POst Dispatch.

Armenian “’Clzicn.
Hrs. Gertrude Eastman Perkins, one
of the brightest of the younger literary
Women of the city, who made a long
trip a short while ago through Europe
is convalescing from the serious illness
which has kept her from the pen for
several months. During her stay abroad
she made a special“ study of the condi-
tion of Armenia, and more especially of
the women of that crushed and unforé
innate land.
Her literary connections gave her the
access in London and elsewhere to li~
braries and archives bearing upon the
topic, and by good fortune as well as
careful endeavor she managed to make.
the acquaintance and win the friendship
of Armenian colonies in ELondon and
elsewhere. She took abundant notes
and secured a large amount of very val-
uable literary material.
Upon her recovery she will probably
write a series of very exhaustive arti-
cles upon the topic with a view totheir
subsequent publication in book form.
The oppressious practiced by the Turks
and Kurds in Armenia ha ve driven
thousands, and even tens of thousands
of people away to other lands. This
expitriation has resulted in the estab- ,
ishment of Armenian colonies in nearly
every large European city, and a very
numerous colony in London itself. Most
oh these exiles belong to the better
classes of their race, and in their flight
took with them family records, church
documents? ancient archives and much
of their national literature.
t is possible to- day to obtain as much
if not more excellent material respect-
ing Armenia at first hand in London
than in Sassoon or Erzeroum. Mrs.
Perkins is very fortunate in finding and
utilizing his literary treasure trove.
A Funny Fire Alarm.
A few nights ago as the pastor of one
of our colored churches was conducting
services in a building near the business
portion of the city he had Occasion, it
seems, to use the term “hellfire.” and
he yelled ‘fhellfire” in a. tone. loud
enough to be heard almile. John Ham-
ilton heard the fire part of the yell at
time or two, and deciding that a. fire
was raging somewhere in town, he com-
menced crying “fire! fire l” at the very
Burroughs happened to hear the “hell”
part of the discourse, and knowing that
there was no fire, he put out after John
Hamilton, hoping to overtake him and
stop his yelling, but he failed to catch
him, and the last seen Of John that
night he was going to ward Big Creek
jump. Jini Whitfield, an officer of the
Eclipse Hook and Ladder Company,
heard the racket and got nearly to the
headquarters of the company before he
learned that it was a preacher pictur-
ing hellfire to his congregation.
A Kentucky Fable.
There was once a lamb who, feeling
thirsty, went to drink at a stream. A
wolf who was slaking his thirst near- by
‘sized the lamb up for a roast. He there-
upon approached the trembling creature
saying ferociously:
"What do you mean by mud-dying
my water?"
“Why, sir,” said the lamb, “I am
further down stream than you, and
could not possibly muddy the water
where you are drinking.”
"1’11 teach you to correct your bet»
ters!” said the wolf, and thereupon tool:
the lamb in out of the wet.
