;
m Atukks , Feb. 15. 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

1 # the idea being that Crete is practically
B free and that the island is likely to rc-

THE INAUGURATION GOWN
Mr * . 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.
The last report of the bank , pub
lished December 17 , showed deposits
of 51,550,000 , loans of 51,200,000 and
cash and exchange S4(5'2,030. ( The !

ON IOWA BAIL * K TES.
PASSENGER SERVICE AND
RATES COMPARED.
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. Z. That within the Iatt three or t ;

relief to the Cretan refugees.
Just previous to his departure Prince
George visited the king for the purpose

It Is a Good Icloa to Consult the As

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

would be well to do this previous to
marriage. Those wishing free char

According to data furnished the zod-
Ical sign Virgo , which Mercury rules
was rising at your birth , therefore
Mercury is your ruling planet or signl-
ficator. You are medium height or
above ; with slender figure : dark com
plexion , hair and eyes ; the eyes have
a peculiar brightness and quick restless
movement. You are endowed by na
ture with a kind and obliging disposi
tion ; you are kind to animals and humane -
mane in all things. You are very in
dustrious and energetic ; you make up
your mind quick and every move you
make is quick. You are too impulsive-
and if you will be a little more conserv
ative you will find it to your advantage.
You are rather too modest and do not
push yourself forward as you should , .
consequently you are not appreciated : ]
to the extent your ability should com
mand. If you had been born twelve
minutes earlier it would have changed -
these indications very materially , for r
the sign Leo would have been more or
less considered. x

According : to data furnished the c
zodiacal sign Aquarius , which Uranus
rules , was rising at your birth : there
fore Uranus is your ruling planet or
signilicator. Ihe sign Pisces , which c
Jupiter rules , was intercepted on the
ascendant. You are naturally the possessor -
sessor of two kindsof temperaments.
At times you are very cheerful , happy ,
jolly and jovial ; Shen again you will be
subject 2o spells of the blues and will
brood over an injury that is either real E
or imaginary. Ym are kind to anisi
mals , and especially fond of a fine K ;
horse ; veil are quJSs a leader in any
thing you : may became interested in ,
yet it will be in a very modest way
and without' boastingY t are fond I
of water and enjoy t gootf glass of it
at any tim-2'in preference to-almost any
other drinK. You aer very fond of the

have more- than average wealth and f
will always * be provided1 for.

advantageous for prospectors and H
Athers of limited means. Money with M

"probably gets its condensing water |
from a greater distance than any other j | |

street railway plant in the world. Tha H
water is piped five miles from the' H
ocean to the power plant. After use in H
the condenser , it is piped to the Lur- H
line hatha near by , at a tempcraturo H
of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The piping H
ef the water is done by the Olympic H
Salt Water company , and the Sutter H
Street railway pays for its use' in the H
condensers. The daily output i3 300 , - , H
