Naval Demonstration 011' Macedonia
Has Been Decided Upon.
NO THOUGHT [OF SURRENDER.
An Interview “‘ith King George—The
Impression Is Prevalent In London
That Turkey and the Greeks
“’ill Inevitably Clash.
ATHENS, March 6.—The cabinet sat till
1 this morning, and it is reported that it
has been decided to take "unsure: of great
importance, which include a naval demon~
stration on the'Macedonian coast.
The ironclads Spezia and Psara sailed at
dawn to a secret destination under sealed
orders. ,
The Official Gazette publishes a. decree
calling out the reserves of 1891, 1890, 1889
and 1888 within three days.
It is estimated that Greece will then
have 100,000 men under arms. The bulk
of the reserves will be drafted forthwith
to Thessaly, where the troops are reported
to be full of order and confidence.
The cabinet came to no decision as to
the reply to be addressed to the identical
notes of the powers. The discussion will
be resumed. ,-
A statement just made by King George
during the course of an interview is, how-
ever, probably a forecast of the reply which
Greece will make to the identical notes of
the powers insisting upon the withdrawal
of the Greek fleet and troops from Crete
within the six days which commenced at
noon on Monday last, the time the notes
referred to were delivered.
King George’s Statement.
His majesty said: '
“The Greek nation is unable to bear any
longer the strain and excitement caused
by constant Cretan revolutions, and our
finances will not permit us to support the
refugees, who now number about 17,000.
Nothing will prosper in Greece until the
question is definitely settled. The auton-
omy of Crete is out of the question, be-
cause the Cretans reject it and have lost
faith in the promises of the powers. They
prefer to die in their own defense rather
than to be slaughtered like the Armenians.
“The recall of the Greek troops from
Crete would mean the signal for new mas—
sacres on a large scale, owing to the fierce
fanaticism of the Mussulmans, who see
they have the support of the great powers,
since the latter covered the Turkish attack
on the Christians and shelled the victori-
ous Cretans who were fighting for freedom
and the cross and at a moment when the
Turks were compelled to retire.”
Premier Delyannis in an interview is
reported to have reiterated that the Greek
troops would not be withdrawn from Crete
and to have expressed the fear that national
clamor would compel the government to
invade Turkey.
Greece, he is quoted as having added,
had not accepted the scheme for the auton-
omy of Crete which had been proposed by
the powers.
The premier asked that a plebiscite of
the Cretans be taken and added that
Greece would rather disappear from the
map than withdraw her forces from Crete
in the face of threats. -
War In Sight.
LONDON, March 6.—It is generally be-
lieved here that Europe is on the eve of a
war between Greece and Turkey.
The decision of Greece to defy the pow-
ers is confirmed on all sides, and the cen—
ter of interest has now shifted from Crete
to the mainland. _
It is generally felt in England that the
dispatch, signed by 100 Liberal and Irish
National members of the house of com-
mons, which was sent last evening to the
king of Greece, expressing sympathy with
his efforts and the efforts of the Greek na-
tion and government in behalf of Crete,
was a great mistake, and that it will only
mislead the king of Greece into the belief
that Great Britain will riot Join the other
powers in coercive measures.
The Westminster Gazette, Liberal, says
that “when the king receives this sym-
pathetic message he will do well to ob-
serve that the British government has a
majority of 150 in the house of commons.
If he understands the bearing of this and
if he knows that the British government
can only be diverted from its decision by
an adverse vote of the house of commons,
which there is apparently not the slightest
chance of obtaining, he will better under—
stand the value of this message.”
Greece Will Not Yield.
The attitude of the Greek officials in
London is most determined. The consul
general for Greece, N. Leon Messinesi, in
an interview today said that there was not
the least probability of Greece yielding to
the demands of the powers. He added that
the fact that another 40,000 men of the re-
Greece means to end the present situation.
Greece, he continued, had recently spent
large sums on her frontier defenses, which
are now in good order. ,
Another official of the Greek consulate
said that if the powers carry out their
threat to try to dislodge the Greek troops
in Crete they will have to land 50, 000 men
to do so. He added: “Even then our troops
will fight fer every inch of ground. we
have stood this as long as possible. In
spite of the Halepa compact and other
schemes the situation in Crete is worse
than ever. If Greece-is bankrupt, it is be-
cause she has had to support the-fugitive
Cretans. The powers cannot starve out
the Greeks in Crete as the coast is too ex~
tensivc for an effective blockade, and small
In any case, the Greeks have enough food
for a month, and we won’t be called cow-
ards even if we are obliterated from the
map of Europe. We are prepared to shed
the last drop of our blood before allowing
our troops to vacate Crete and leave the
Cretans to the mercies of the Turkish po-
lice. ”

,The Situation In Crete.
KHANIA, March 6.—Interest pivots on
the position of the Mohammedans who are
closely invested by the insurgents at Can-
damo (Kadano). Ex-Commodore Rei-
neck of the Greek fleet states that there are
no regulars there, but only volunteers and '
guns
Three days have been wasted in quarrel-
ing between the admirals and the Greek
Vice Consul Baraclis, who, acting under
direct orders from King George, wishes to
proceed to Selino to negotiate for the safety
of the Mohammedans invested at .Can-
dame.
Vice Consul Baraclis insists that he
must first communicate with Colonel Vas—
sos and then proceed on board a Greek
man-of-war.
both requests, but yesterday they invited
him to go on board a Russian ironclad.
Vice Consul Baraclis still declines to go
to Selino except on board the Greek war-
ship Hydra.
He says he has the king's express orders
to Colonel V'assos either to go to Candamc
himself or to send the vice consul with a
force sufficient to secure at any cost the
safety of the beleaguered Moslems.
The matter is so pressing that the French
and Austrian consuls favor granting the
request of Iiaraclis, and the admirals will
meet again today to make a final decision.
In the meantime a Turkish transport
has started to revictual Selino.
The insurgents attempted to cut the tele
graph wires near Suda Wednesday night,
but the foreign fleets directed their search-
lights upon them and authorized the Turk
ish forts to open fire, whereupon the insur-
gents retired.
A Russian man-of-war, which. has re
turned from a cruise around the island,
reports fighting in the vicinity of all the~
coast towns.
The Bear’s Mottled Growl. ‘
ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.—The semi-
ofi'icial Journal publishes a long statement
to the effect that the imperial cabinet is
animated by an ardent desire to expedite
the work of appeasement, and took the
initiative in proposing the scheme formu‘
lated in the identical notes to Turkey and
Greece. 4 It concludes:
“There is reason to hope that further
difficulties Will not arise and that Greece
will prove her wisdom by bowing to the
mighty will of unit-ed Europe. In the
common interests of peace and legality-
Greece cannot 'desire to endanger her fu-
ture by acts of imprudence calculated to
compromise it. The Greeks may be happy
in the knowledge that their Cretan kins-
men will in future enjoy local autonomy,
assuring .their welfare and tranquillity.
Russia, who has ever had at heart the in-
terests of the Christian people of the cast,
will regard the suggested solution with
all the greater satisfaction as it is in bar-
mony with her desire for universal appease-
ment and is in the spirit of equity by
which the imperial government is con-
stantly inspired. ”
Germany‘s Naval Wants.
BERLIN, March 6.—In the reichstag to
day, during the discussion on the navy
estimates. Vice Admiral von Hellman,
secretary for the navy, said that Germany
expected that in a serious contingency her
navy would prove efficient not only for
coast defense, but in a fight on the high
seas. He continued: _
“We still require 10 cruisers, 5 dispatch
vessels, 2 gunboats, 5 ironclads, 2 moni-
tors, 2 floating batteries and 22 torpedc
boats.” ‘ '
The admiral pointed out the new inven-
tions since the scheme for the foundation
of the German navy in 1873, and detailed
how Russia and France had improved their
fleets, adding that the interests of Germans
abroad required consideration.

BROOKLYN, March 6.—Edward J. Bus-
sell, who was convicted of blackmail and
extortion yesterday and was confined in
the Raymond Street jail, tried to kill him-
self in his cell today. He was found by
Keeper Smith unconscious. Ambulance
Surgeon Pierce was mlled from the City
hospital to attend him. After an exam-
ination he said Russell was suffering from
an overdose of morphine. The man was
soon out of danger. Warden Shanley said
that he thought the prisoner got the poison
from his wife, who Went to the jail last
evening to see him.
Russell for the last four days had been
on trial in the county court before Judge
Hurd, indicted for taking from Almet F.
Jenks, err-corporation counsel, a check for
$1,500. When arrested, on Feb. 7, the
check was found in his possession. The
prisoner acted as his own counsel, assisted
by Mr. Spiero. The case went to the jury
at 3:20 o’éloek yesteray afternoon, a ver-
dict of guilty being returned two hours
later with a strong recommendation for
mercy. When the verdict was announced,
Russell was greatly excited. He was taken
to the Raymond Street jail, and all during
the night was in a high state of excite-
ment. He was seen at 7 o’clock by Keeper
Smith sitting on his couch. At 8:30 he
was found unconscious by the same keeper.
A watch is now being kept on the man.

CHAMPIONS ' EQUALITY.
The Chicago University Boldly Breaks.
Down Old-Time Barriers, and a Bank
in Indiana Has Made a “’oman Its
Cashier.
It‘or the first time in the history of
university life in this country, .and'
' g1‘ooably in the World, a Woman is
:o'be the convocation orator at the
somlnencement exercises . of a great
university. It is announced by Presi-
ient Harper of the University of Chi-
.‘ago that Lady Aberdeen. wife of the
Governor of Canada, is to have this
JOHOI‘ at the commencement exercises
it the university, April 1.
Lady Aberdeen is a polished orator
and somewhat of a politician. She
.ias made many successful political
5poeches in behalf of her husband
:hroughout Scotland and Ireland. In
ire-land, of which her husband was
Viceroy. she used her utmost \xer-
tions toward increasing the scolée oi
lrish industries. She opened many~
:hannels of employment for the we-
men of Ireland, and was the prime
tnovor in getting up the Irish village
and fine exhibit of Irish women’s hand-
iwork at the “'orld‘s Fair. She has ‘ it
also taken a, leading role in philan-
lhrophy in Canada, and is very popular
there.
Nor are her sympathies confined to
inhabitants of the "right little, tight
little isle” and its dependencies. She
is interested in the women of the Unit-
ed States, and very liberal in he!
Sentiments, as was shown in her
speech before the Women’s Federa-
tion, when she spoke of Britian’s fol-
ly of 1776, and expressed a. wish that
“England and America could stand
side by side as God‘s chosen servants
in the cause of humanity.” She is al-
so a worker in the cause of temper-
ince and was one of the prominent
participants in the Convention of the
World‘s \Vomen‘s Christian Temper-
ance Association in London in 1805.
Two Stories of Toilets.
Mrs. Bancroft, the wife of the his-_
aortan, when ,staying in London. went
one day to an afternoon musicale in
liayfair. On the way she was at-
'act'cd by a display of shawls in 21
Regent street window, and stopping
he cab, went into the shop and
Tought one, throwing it over her
:houlders to Wear to the social gath-
:1'ing. The astonished guests at the
nusicale were edified by the sight of
he elegant Mrs. Bancroft floating
‘hrough the drawing rooms with 'a
ilacard on her back bearing the
vords, “Very Chaste.” ,
This suggests an incident in the life
)f Mrs. Gladstone, the wife“ of the
Premier, who is noted for her absent-
nindedncss.
She once arrived late at a dinner,
and while apologizing to her hostess,
explained tliat the delay was caused
by her inability to find the bodice of
‘ier g0wn. “However, it is all right,”
she concluded, “for I had another bo-
iice that combined well with the
skirt, and I have worn that.”
“But what is that on your skirt, my
dear?” asked Mr. Gladstone, who was
iust behind her as she sailed majes-
tically across the room." It. was the
missing bodice, which she had pinned
there after last wearing, that she
might not mislay it. '
Q
A correspondent of the St. . Louis
writes from Hunt-
ngton, Ind.: The First National Bank
of this city has a lady cashier, Mrs.
Sarah Francis Dick. and a. lady direc-
Mrs. Fredericka, Drover. and is
probably the only bank in the country
[Haring such distinction. Mrs. Dick;
is also a director in the institution.
Mrs. Dick was appointed assistant-
r-ashier in 1873. She was then Miss
Sarah F. McGrew, and her father
was cashier of the bank. She served
in that capacity until 1881, when the
bank was reorganized. Mr. McGrew
then became president, and his
daughter was appointed cashier and
also elected a director. In 1878 she
was married to Julius Dick. one of
the most prominent merchants of this
city. Ever since 1881 Mrs. Dick has
been cashier of the bank, and her
work in that capacity has been un-
questionably accurate and able.

Lighting 3. Fire With Ice.
You can light the fire with a piece
of ice if the weather is fine. ‘
Take a piece of clear ice about an
inch thick, chip it into the shape of a
disc, and with the palms of your hands
melt its two sides convex, thus giving
the form of a double convex lens or
burning-class. This you should do with
consi..ci':ille accuracy, and you: may
have to practise some time before you
can accomplish it. '
When your ice lens is complete, hold
it where the sun’s rays will fall on it,
and focus them so that they will be
directed on a piece of light paper or
tinder. A blaze will burst up at once.
