The people of H Greece arc becoming' calmer and the H public officials are betraying anxiety B as tothe outcome of the demonstration H of Greece in behalf of the Cretan in- H surg-ents. It is now known that strong H i pressure has been brought to bear upon H King George within the past twenty- H four hours and that equally strong H pressure has been exercised upon the H sultan of Turkey' to prevent an out- H break of hostilities between the two H nations. Turkey is understood to H have agreed not to send troops to Crete m . and the powers in return arc believed M to be restraining Greece from actively 1 interfering in Crete. fl At the same time there is evidently B danger in the direction of Thessaly M and Macedonia , for Greek troops arc M being dispatched to the frontier and M reports from Salonika are that the H Turks are quictlj' mustering an army B corps there in order to be prepared for H emergencies. H The situation on the island of Crete H lias somewhat improved. Desultory H fighting is still reported , but it is H " stated that the insurgents are prac- H "tically in possession of the island with H the exception of the larger towns. If H this be the case the union of Crete H with Greece having been proclaimed H by the Cretans it is difficult to see how H the former order of things can be re- H stored without joint action upon the B .part of the powers and a military oc- H | cupation of Crete by the foreign fleets. H I In official circles here this outcome is H not believed to be possible and there is H n disposition now to quietly allow | events to take their natural course , 1 # the idea being that Crete is practically B free and that the island is likely to rc- 1 main to unless subdued bv the powers.

MeKlnley's State Costume Finlohod at toit Its Full Description. Chicago , Feb. 15. The inauguration wardrobe of Mrs. William McKinlcy , preparations for "which have been the object of two visits to this city , is com pleted and consists of ten rich cos tumes of satin , velvet and silver cloth. The cost of the costumes , it is " said , was between S8.000 and 510,000. The gown to be worn at the inaugu- tion is especially handsome. The ma terial is what is known as cloth of sil ver. The groundwork is of white satin , heavily woven with silver thread in a lily design. The train , which is plain , full and sweeping , is two yards and a half in length. On the left side it is open over a panel of seed pearls , embroidered on satin. Beginning at the * bottom is a' flounce of Venetian point lace of special and beautiful de sign , a half yard in width , which is cascaded narrow at the bottom and gradually widens toward the top until it is extended its full width over the hip and out to the back , where it is partly concealed under the , full train. The right side of the skirt is also slashed open half way up and under that is anembroidcred petticoat : of pearls. The.bodice is tight fitting and slightly pointed front and back The lower part is of silver cloth and the upper and-back of pearls. The same lace that is used in the flounce is fastened at the waist line into a nar row point and is draped wider towards the shoulder in a V shape. The collar is of pearl embroidered satin , and from it is a high Medici collar of the lace. The sleeves are long and fairly tight and are finished at the wrist with Vandyke effect , embroidered at the edge , from which they fall from narrow lace of the same design as that on the skirt. With this gown Mrs. McKinley will wear a numbei' of diamonds to fasten the lace on the front of her gown , the handsomest being a diamond star and' sunburst. The lining for this gown is of white satin , heavy and rich. Around the bottom inside are half a dozen ruffles to give a full effect. The lace which is used was made especially for the establishment where the gown was designed. HELENA BANK CLOSED. The Merchants National Suspends , to the Surprise of Everyone. Helena , Mont , Feb. 15. The Mer chants National bank failed to open i s doors this morning , and a few min utes after 10 o'clock notice was posted that persistent , and relentless with drawals had largely reduced the bank's available resources , and to better pro tect depositors the directors deemed it advisable to order a suspension of bus iness for the time. The suspension was a great surprise to the Helena public , as the bank was considered exceptionally strong and conservatively managed.

Reply of the State Railroad Commission to Inquiries by Agriculturists Regard ing : Average Receipts and Expenses , Des Moines , Iowa. Correspondence Chicago Tlmc3-Herald. . W. Field of Odebolt , pres ident of the State Agricultural society , anx ious to enlighten Its members on the merits of the railroad Question , sought for information from the state board ot railroad commission- era on the following points : What is the aver age rate of fare In Iowa ? What does it cost the railroads to carry a pazsenger a mile ? How are wo ( the.agriculturists ) to ascertain what rate would be fair on both sides ? What Is the opinion of the commissioners on the ques tion ? In reply an open letter has been writ ten by W. W. Ainsworth , secretary of the commission , saying in part : "The questions suggested by you have recently been con sidered by the board of railroad and ware house commissioners of Illinois In response to an inquiry made by the state grange of that state. Its conclusion was that it 'would be unwise , unwarranted and unjust to the rail road interests of the state to comply with this request. ' The regular report says : Some of the great trunk lines in Illinois might be able to stand such a reduction , yet the smaller roads and those which do almost wholly a local business , and which are now and have -been for the last -two - yearsstruggling for existence , would be most seriously afTccted by it. Such action on our part would simply lncrcace the heavy burdens under which they are struggling jiow. Decrease in Fasacnger Business. "It is a well-known fact to those who have taken the trouble to Investigate the amount of passengerbusiness done by the railroads in Illinois during the last two years that there has been a.large decrease in the number of passengers carried. This Is due , in our Judg ment , not to the amount charged for such service , but to the general depression In all lines of business , the low prices ot farm products and the unsettled linancial condi tions which have had their effect on the pas senger as well as the freight business. Thia question was before us when v/c revised the freight schedule in 1895 and the whole ques tion was thoroughly considered. Wc did not think then , and neither do wc feel nfaw , that in justice to both the public and the railroads this reduction should be made at this * .lmc. If the country was prosperous our conclu sions might bo different. The statistics In our ofllro show that for.-the last three years. ISfll , 1S95 and lSDI , the average amount charged by tjie railroads per passenger per mile is a frac tion above 2 cents , although the maximum allowed them was 3 cents. For the reasons above stated wc do not feel that this reduc tion should be made by us at this time. We arc also asked to recommend this re duction to the legislature. In view of our conclusion wo do not feci that it would be consistent for us to do so. Receipts and Co3t Ter 3iilc. "From the statistics given in the report of this commission for 1S85 It appears the aver age amount received by the railroads doing business in Iowa for carrying one passenger one mild during the year was 2.27 cents. The returns from which these results are ob tained rte not Include any passengers carried Iree. The iargo number of passengers -\ho have ( raveled uron reductions of rates as per mitted by our statutes ministers of the gos pel , organizations of our military , excursions on holidays , special rates to meetings of many organizations , state and county fairs arc fac tors that reduce the average fare to the amount above stated. It is obvious , there fore , that the average must always be lower than the rate fixed by law. The character of the bubiness renders it impossible to make any rate that will be absolutely uniform. The Iowa report for 1S93 shows only ten roads which returned the average cost of carrying one passenger one mile. The average cost ot these companies was 2.14 cents. This result is less reliable than if it were founded upon returns made by all the roads , which would probably increase it. In arriving at the cost J of carrying one passenger one mile , as above 1 given , nothing is charged on accourit of the , expenses of llig railroads for interest , rcnt3 , taxes colors."T of course , nothing for dividends on stock. The passenger traflic should , of course , bear its proportion of these expenses , which con stitute rart of the cost of doing the business. ( From statistics compiled by the interstate commerce commission it appears that to j charge the passenger business of the rail roads with its proportionate share of the fixed charges , not including anything , however , on account of dividends and crediting it with mail and express earnings , would give us as . the actual cost 2.57 cents. Figures on Reduced Traffic. , "The statement of the Illinois commission • that there has been a general reduction ot passenger business is undoubtedly confirmed < by the statistics. For the w1k1 ? United States the number of passengers carried one mile for raeh mile ef railroad in 2890 was 7o.7. il : - \ In K-C ! ft was CS.572. Thoughtlie number of _ passengers carried was less , the passenger J car miieagc was greater in 1855 than in 1890. j ; which , of course , Increased ths1 cost per pas senger. 2 1890 the total nunber of miles c run by passenger trains in the United States J was 2S. 5,575,50in 1893 it was iT.SCTt.Glo. In 1 1S93 the revenues from passenger service in , the UniteS States decreased ? 3S.I03,37S as 1 compared wfth 1S94 , though tin ? figures for f 1895 include2,055.29 miles of road" more tnan j in 1891. The foregoing statements , which are . based upon' tfie most accurate statistics ob tainable , at tMs time indicate : II That at the present time She average fare charged in leva Is less than the actual cost of transporting the passenger.

The arrests were the result of a let ter of inquiry from a New York auto graph dealer , who stated that he had bought certain historical autograph letters and was offered more , but had become suspicious lest they might have been absti-acted from government files. An investigation by Librarian Spofford disclosed that many letters were missing from the diary.of George Washington for 1787 , the vear of the • constitutional convention , and letters of John Hancock and IScnjainhi Arnold.

It Is a Good Icloa to Consult the As trologer When About to Knter Into Matrimony Answers to RequestB In structions Tor Applicants to Go By. PEOPLE should consult an expert astrologer before IF falling in love , marriages would be more harmonious. The astrologer is often requested to compare the horoscopes scopes of man and wife to find out the cause of the exist ing inharmony and assist in patching up their differences , etc. He often sees that Saturn in one is afflicting the Venus of the other , denoting : that love affairs do not invariably thrive well ; yet improvement can be made from a better'understanding of each , which can only be determined by the careful comparison of both horoscopes. It would be well to do this previous to marriage. Those wishing free char acter delineations from their zodiacal sign and ruling planet published under their initials , should send : Sex , , date , month , year and place of birth , also the time a. m. or p. m. If you do not know the time of birth send two two- cent stamps for further instructions. If you prefer the delineation sent by mail send twelve two-cent stamps to cover expenses. Address Prof. G.
