LONDON , Feb 14 , A Times special from
Canea dated last evening ( Sunday ) sayu that
the resignation of Prince George Ilerovltch
as governor of Crete has nlieady been ac
cepted and he departed Sunday for Trieste.
Despite thi1 olllela ! statements , there Is rca-
non to bclle'vo ho left Ma post without the
Sultan's PCM mission , In his letter to the
consuls representing the powers ho only
tinted that ho had tendered his resigna
tion.
tion.Although
Although well Intended , Ilcrovltch Pasha
baa shown a lamentable lack of courage
during the recent doubles , according to the
correspondent. Ho has abandoned the direc
tion of affairs at a critical moment. It must ,
In all faln.cMs , bo said that the task Im
posed upon him was one of extraordinary
dllllculty. Without gendarmes , without
law courts , o | rosed by military subordinates ,
thwarted In Constantinople and harassed by
his admlnletiatlvo round ! , he had no means
to nuke hlo authority respected , It mum bo
also bornu In mind that the midden disap
pearance of Turkish officials U often dueto
occult Influences. Thu position of the next
governor will not be enviable.
According to another dispatch from Canea
thu Greek consul with hla staff hoarded the
Greek Ironclad Hydra , after placing the
refugees at the consulate under the protec
tion of the Ilrltlth consul , who told them tn
go aboard the Greek war ihlps I'p to the
present time however , thu refugee * remain
t the UrltUh consulate. The clualng Of tbo
Greek consular offices seem to Indicate A
leflnlto rupture of the relations between
Greece and Turkey. The captain of the
Greek war thlp off Hcrakllon has threatened
to bombard the town If the Mohammejins
commit any outrages In that vicinity.
The Hufslan and French admirals have re
ceived Identical Instructions enjoining
upon them the adoption of ener
getic measures. This Is probably In
accordance with the English proposals
which the ambassadors at Constanti
nople agreed upon , namely the Joint naval oc
cupation ot Canea , Itetlmo and Heraklion ,
Iho removal ot the Grctk fleet and the pro
hibition of the dispatching ot the Turkish re
inforcements to Crete.
A telegram from Athens says the British
and Italian Bailers cheered the Greek troops
a they vvcro starting for Crete. A dispatch
to the Dally News from Home siys the Greek
minister there a aerts that the troops which
left Athens had express and unconditional
orders to occupy Crete.
A dispatch to the News from llcrlln says
Grecco has purchased 100,000 rifles from a

ATHENS , Feb. IB. Pllngcnesla ( Itegcn-
oration ) declares that the sending ot troops
to Crete does not mean to convey the Impres
sion of hostility on the part ot Greece to
ward the Mussulmans , but that It Is simply
Intended to restore order and protect lives
irrespective of race or religion.
The Greek vessel Mlkalc brought news
from Syria that the Mussulman beys at
Canca tried to embark on the Austrian-Lloyd
steamer with their families , but the Mussul
mans prevented them from leaving.
LONDON , Feb. IE. The Times , In an edi
torial , warns Greece to the effect that the
country mus' not think It con count on the
support of the powers to wage war. With
her limited liability , her dependence upon the
powers makes It necessary for her to follow
their advice and avoid provoking a conflict
that she Is Incapable of sustaining alone.
Had the Greek troops made a descent upon
Canca , the Times thinks It might have bee-
Impossible to have prevented war. As It Is
the doclrilop of the povvcis to accept re
sponsibility , by their occupation of Cnnca ,
Hetlmo and Hcrakllon , should Induce Gicect
to counterirand her military expedition.
A dispatch to the Times from Constan
tinople says ambassadors admit the situation
Is ombdirasslng because Greece forms a link
between the Cretan and Macedonian diffi
culties. Another dispatch says that the mll-
H.uy force of Macedonia Is to be Increased
by 100,000 men It la also reported that the
Sultan goeto ConsUntlnoplo by walcr
Wednesday In the midst of observance of
Hamalan foi the purpoie of avoiding a long
drive through the nanow stieets.
A dispatch to the Times from Brussels co-
scrts that Representatives of the powers
have applied to Belgium and Holland asking
those countries to provide an officer capable
of taking command of the Cretan gendar
mes. The name of a Belgian olllcer , dis
tinguished In the Congo campaigns , and a
Dutch ofllcci have been submitted.
In respont > o to n request from the editor
of the Chronicle asking him to send a mes
sage of hope , Mr Gladstone today sent a mes
sage advocating peace
The Times suggests that the best solution
of the troubles would be to give Crete
autonomy uudcr the nominal rule of the sul
tan.
tan.A
A dispatch to the Times from Sebastopol
says that the troops have been sent to Renl ,
Bcderi and Tsmall and relnfoi cements have
been dispatched to Kars and other places
along the Russian-Turkish frontier.
The correspondent of the Standard at Con
stantinople says that thu sultan expresses an
unwillingness to proceed to extreme meas
ures , but If Greece persists In a provocative
attitude It Is probable Ibe1 Macedonian onny
corps will be ordered'lo cross the frontier. >
Another Constantinople icport to the
Standard Is to the effect that the cntlro Chris
tian population of Crete Is under arms , while
the Turks only hold thrco towns. This re
port asserts that unless reinforcements arrive
soon the rebellion Is bound to triumph.
A dispatch to the Tele-graph fiom St
Petersburg says that the Odessa military
division Is massing 30,000 Cossacks with a
view of possible difficulties jrislng In the

WASHINGTON , Feb. 14. ( Special Telegram -
gram } As fnr aa any ono can predict the
nomination of W. II. Munger for district
Judge will come out of tlie Judiciary com *
mltteo tomorrow In some form or other.
There IB a strong undercurrent In favor of
Ills confirmation anil Senator Allen , who has
been outspoken In his fa\or , will go before
the committee In the morning to urge definite
action , or If not definite , that the name be
sent to the senate \\lthout prejudice , and
the right be fought on the floor.
Senator and Mrs. Thurston returned from
Zancavlllc this morning. Mr. Thur&ton was
absolutely noncommittal as to what portion
he would take before the committee. He
stated , however , that there were many re
publicans In Nebraska who had written and
wired him to hold up the continuation , but
too had not jet decided upon his course. One
thing la certain Mr. Munger has moie friends
on the committee than Judge McUu h had
and there may be enough present to report
favoiably for confirmation
The series of complications which have
arisen In a number of the states relative to
( ho election of United States senator ? , Is
ghlng lepubllcan members of the senate
serious trouble. A month ago the shy was
serene , and conditions seemed absolute ! ) fa
vorable to a reorganization of the scn.ite
along republican lines The failure to elect
a senator In Oregon , thu stating of Ml
Kenney from Delaware , the continued oppo
sition of Governor Dradley In Kentucky to
the calling of an extra tension to elect n
successor to Senator lllackburn and the de
feat of Senator Squlrp have changed the
aspect greatly. While a tariff measure- will
undoubtedly be passed at the extra session ,
It will have to bo with the help of silver
republicans and possibly one or two demo
crats who represent protection states.
STEERING COMMITTEE AT A LOSS.
This condition Is troublesome. The steerIng -
Ing committee of the senate is at a loss to
know jtst what to do. It realizes that the
machinery of the senate should he In repub
lican hands In order the mote effectually to
accomplish tariff legislation , but unless tie-
ups con be had \\ltli silver republicans In
their continuance nt the head of certain
committees , the same force , democrats and
populists , that now presides over the sor-
geaiit-at-anrs' office and the secretary's
office will be continued at least foi the next
two years.
Every mall that Senator Thurston receives
brings applications for positions In all
branches of the gov eminent. It is Interesting
to know that probably 2,000 applications' have
been reqoived fiom the stalwart icptibllcans
of the state of Nebraska asking for help and
Indorsement at the senator's hands. Ills Is
the largest mall possibly received by any
senator coming from the Transmlsslssippl
country. Nearly 400 applications have been
received by Senator Thurston , cohering first ,
second , third and fourth-class postmaster-
ships There have'uesn ln-.he neighborhood
"offthlrty appUcatlons'for co'ninllshlpH Uiere
"are fiftyrnamea oil file for the I lull an depart
ment , Including agents. Inspectors and In
structors ; theio arc a host of applicants far
positions In the Land department , as many
as thrco scores stalwart friends of Senator
Thurston arc desirous of serving their coun
try and their party In this department alone.
For miscellaneous positions , covering far off
points as well as thoss within the ' ( ale of
Nebraska , there are probably 200 applications
Fifteen thoroughly wull qualified gentlemen
are applicants for places as national bank

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11 Senator Teller
was asked today to furnish the Associated
press with a statement of the icasons for
cooking a. postponement of the Anglo Amer
ican arbitration ticaty. and In response , pie
pareJ the following signed article
"Thcro has been a gooJ deal of criticism
of the senate , because It rtoes not at once
ratify the treaty by those \vho toilet that
the executive department has UPOJI about
four months negotiating It. By the constitu
tion the senate Is made jiait of UIP treaty-
making power The fathers of theppublle ,
Jealous of executive power , were not willing
that the president should negotiate treatb *
alone , bo that they provided that the presi
dent shall have power , by the advl"e and
consent of the senate , to maketieatlca , pio-
vlded two-tl.li\s | of the senators prese.it con
cur.
cur."Tho treaty , then , Is the act of the presi
dent and the senate. It Is quite apparent
that It was not Intended tnat 'he action of
the senate should be a. mere peifunctoty
duty , and that the requirement of a two
thirds majority wns lnserte.1 because the
framers of thu constitution were impu'ssed
with the Importance of treaty-making The
scnato being a pait of the power which
crcntcs , It cannot rid itself ot the responsi
bility of seeing that they aie properly made
It la as Incumbent upon us to give treaties
duo consideration as upon the executive to
do tso. We heaid no complaint of the delay
on the part of the executive department , but
no Eooner did the treaty reach the senate
than there was a demand for Immediate cc-
tlcn by the senate Ino senate being
charged with this duty of advising In the
construction of a treaty cannot transfer that
duty to the president or anyone else.
"The fri"nd3 of the treaty In the senate
all admit It must hn amended , and the com
mittee o'l foreign relations has recommended
certain amendments , which will without
doubt 1)0 adopted But what will bo the
condition of the treaty If thu friends of It
do not agrco as to the purpoit of thu pro
posed amendments ? Same of them assert
that every contiovertcd questfon for con
sideration by the aibltrators must bo acted
upon by the senate and the house before the
question can go before the aihltratlon
tribunal. If this vlsw Is correct , we will
be requited tt make a new treaty , or an
agreement on each question , and have the
assent , not of the senate alone , but of the
house , and Instead of having removed causes
of disagreement and friction between the
two governments , It will bo found wo have
multiplied the cacsoa of dispute and delayed
the determination of controverled question * .
"If the treaty doea not require action on
the part of congrc i , aa some contend It does
not , then wo are leaving the question
whether the subject In controversy Blmll bo
arbitrated or not , to the president alone , It
Is true , wo put the limitations of an In
definite character on the executive proving
he must arbitrate no question 'affecting our
foreign or domestic policy , ' but If the presi
dent thinks such submission does not affect
that policy he cannot bo hold responsible for
his act If ho makes a inUtake. Why should
wo not make this treaty definite , exact ; why
should we leave so Important a question as to
who hat ) the power of submission In doubt ?
If we attempt to submit a given question fo
arbitration through the agency of congress
and Great Britain thinks It ought to have
been submitted through and by the president ,
we create friction. If the president assumes
that he alone must determine what subject of
dispute tnuit bo submitted and congress as
sumes Jurisdiction of the matter , then vve
have a homo dlfllculty and a foreign one at
the same time. The treaty Is nt capable of
self-execution and there iiiutt be legislation
to carry It 'Into effect Congress must flx the
term ol the two arbitrators to bo appointed
on our part and aUo determine ) their com
pensation. This cannot ' done at this ces-
sloii of congress , Tbo treaty ought to go over
nnd bo carefully examined by the committee
that has already prepared sundry amend *
mentfl and como up for action by
the senate when j&hfir mattters arc
not pressing. II Is alrtg Bmposstblo at this
late period to give a ntc B of this kind the
Ecrious attention It reqlS B
"Thcro can he no dold Bic great body of
the people In the Unlteij3 o < ! favor arbltra-
tlon , but that fact docs ( pjHniovo the neces
sity of e.aro In the prcpt Mjn of a treaty to
carry out that Idea 1BJH trcity IK c.irc-

termining what ought u Hiubmlttcd or a
feeling , after the trcatyt B Into effect , of
doubt should .vrlso as tt l fairness of Its
operations , the people v Hbo prejudiced
against the principle ot ratlon , so that
Instead of promoting the RrnSo of arbitration ,
wo may destroy It by hasty action.
"Personally , I am decidedly In favor of
arbitration of all questions that can bo arbi
trated , but this Is no reason why 1 should
join In ratifying a treaty that lacks the
greatest essential of that treaty certainty
as to what It means. There Is no threatened
danger of war confronting us. Wo have no
occasion for haato and nothing can be gained
by premature action. When the treaty Is
put In pioper form , as 1 hope It will be , It
will bb ratified. I regret that the agreement
has not been considered In open session BO
the people could see the detects In It. "

CHICAGO , Feb. 11 Ai special to the
Times-Herald from Denver haysJ. . II , Sov
ereign , gland master workman of the
Knights of Labor , has written a sensational
letter to the Industrial Advocate , with
I'llvato Dal/ell's exhortation foi war with a
foreign nation as his text. Ho declares secret
revolutionary societies , Known as the Iron
Diolhorhood and the Industrial Army , are bo-
Ini } organized In every part of the couutiy
w Ith their members leagued together to re-
soit to civil war as a means of obtaining
"icmedlcs for the populace , " which they can
not secure by the ballot. Ho deprecates
Private Dal/ell's talk ns being In a line which
might tend dangerously to fnn this sentiment
into an open flame , but asserts that should
ievolution como ho will not be "among the
cowards now on the side of the plutocratic
classes. " His letter Is dated at Sulphui
Springs , Ark. , on Fcbrucry 5 , and Is In patt
as follows " 1'rlvate Dalzcll , In a recent
article In the Washington Post , writes a long
tale of woe. He mentions our 2,000,000 cn-
foiccd Idlers , our l.OOO.OUO liamps , the ovcr-
ctowdlng of our penal Institutions , the In
crease of landlords and tenants , the hopeless
Increase of debt and a long list of other
lamentable conditions , concluding , he says
"Civilization , as Napoleon said of aimles
travels on its staunch , and It
is vciy hungiy now , for the
most part. Dut where can It be filled'
Hence all this unrest , all this wild war talk
and discussion of silver and gold and tariff
by people who have neither silver nor gold ,
1101 anything to piy customs. Hellcf shall
not come in that waj. ; It never did at this
stage of scclcty. It v.-lll come In the old
way. In waracd not otherwise ; either Insur
rectionary , which God forbid , or foreign ,
which heaven hasten , fighting for hu
manity. ' "
P. Implying Indirectly to. th.o.jientQnFcsjtuoted .
JIr > Sovereign , goes on Jo , say tlmtv hat the
people of the United States need Is an "flgl-
latlon at home that will force them to a
test aguinst their own social and economic
disorders , but that It should como thiough
Insurrection with all Its levelling honors
Is n piopoMtlon icpulsivc to all the higher
Impulses of humanity. Continuing , he says
"Insurrections , like conflagrations , stall with
a spark and are quenched only with &
deluge. Ono reason in favor of insurrection
to Iclln , suiving and debt-buidcned people Is
more potent In exciting war than a thousand
reasons against Insurrection nre In preserv
ing peace. Tor that recaon Dabell at this
time Is a dangcrou3 writer. "
.Mr. Sovereign then devotes considerable
space to a hlotoiy of two secret revolutionary
organizations Known as the Iron iiiothcrhood
and the Industrial Army , now being formed
In this country , nnd for fear Mr. Dalzell may
not know what these societies are doing , ho
quotes sevcial sentences from the pro ude of
a secret circular now br'ing distributed by
ono of the secret societies vl ?
"Comrades There comes a time In the af-
fajrs of men and nations when desperation
compels the human mind to pause and bring
to Us aid that clement of TC.IMOU so long dls-
caided. We have reached such a crisis in
the destinies of this American icpubllc. Onp
hundred years of nation il existence hat
demonstrated that the political fabric of our
government contains within Its warp and
woof the elements of Its own destruction
with the fact that the billet hu.i proven a
most lamentable failure us a safeguard of
free Institutions
"In the closing of the nineteenth century
wo sec a class despotism establishing ItEeli
upon the lulns of the republic an oligarchy
Is now In power and already the hideous
phantom of imperialism overshadows us as
embodied In the automatic claims of the
fedcinl court and the acts of unbridled ihlll
tary dcpotlsm characteristic of the federal
government of today
"What Is to bo done" Wo have appealed
In vain to the ballot i\cry : trial of strength
In the political arena has resulted In vic
tory for the unscrupulous money powrr
History proves that you cannot bo freed
through the ballot. "
Continuing , Mr. Povciolgn says : "Scauoly
a day passes that I do not receive one or
Micro appeals to Join ono or the other of the
revolutionary aiders being formed In this
country and offers of money and arms are
frequently received If I will give my efforts
to the cause of revolution Thus far r have
peiHlstcntly declined to give aid 01 en
couragement to such a movement. Dut If ,
through the writings of such men an Pri
vate Dal/ell revolution comes , In spite of
all efforts to prevent It , I will not bo found
among the cowards nor on the side of the
plutocratic classes "
In conclusion Mr Poveielgn fires n part
ing shot at Mr lal/.cll ) by warning him to
desist from recommending war as a relief
to the people. One word , he says , In favor
of war war with a foreign country would
multiply tenfold a desire for revolution at
home.

On board was a committee ot Omaha busi
ness men , six In number , representing the
exposition , and upon them will devolve the
woik of laying the subject of state exhibits
before the various legislatures now In ses-
slsn throughout thu western country ,
Those who compose the party are 0. W.
Wattles , 0. M. Hitchcock , John t , . Webster ,
H. n raliror , William S. Poppleton ami
Clement Cl.ato. The diiectors are accom
panied by their wives. The itlner.iry of the
tour comprises visits to the capitals of ten
states. In the older of visiting they nro
as followsTopeltn , Kan j Denver , Cole ;
Cheyenne , Wyo. ; Salt Lake City , Utah ;
Helena , Mont. ; Holse City , Idiho ; Olympla ,
Wash. ; Salem , Ore ; Sacramento , Gal. , ami
Carson City , Nov.
It Is expected that the trip will consume
abut three weeks , although no visits of moro-
than two I'nys will bo given any ono point.
Most of the capitals visited will be accorded
but a single day , hut due to the large mllago
covcrPd It is thought by the party that
three weeks time will be necnsary.
In speaking of the prospects nt the Journey
laht evening , Mr. Wattles said. "Wo are
going to give the legislative bodies wo visit
the best Inducements In 0111 possession In ,
order to mnko them como forward with the
icqulsltc appropriations needed for the ex
hibits. In starting at this time with our
own appropriation still In the balance , wo
feel that an extia effort upon our part
will be necessary to plac. the matter be
fore the various bodies In the proper light.
Wo expect , however , to receive telegrams
before wo have been on the load a week
that the bill In our own state has gono-
through with a liberal appropriation.
"Tho first stoi ) will be niado nt Topcka ,
where wo anlv < > In the morning. After
seeing the propel persons , wo leave theio
at 10 p. m for Denver. I think WP will
hayo a most cordial welcome In-the moun
tain city , " aswo most armircdly did tipon
our former visit. The Colorado exhibit will
undoubtedly bo a handsome one , and an.
appropriation coirmcnsuratc with It will go-
through the house with n rush.
"Wo will be traveling almost constantly ,
but think thcra will be considerable variety
In the many cities visited We will prob
ably reirli home about March 7 "
Apiopos to the dcpaituip of the committed
on this trip the Department of Promotion ,
announces that It has received much In
formation of nn encouraging character in
the past few days from many of the states la
the transmltfsisslppl countiy relative to ap
propriations for state exhibits.
Word has been received by The fine from
Idiho that , although the full amount called
for by the bill Introduced lart week at

The exposition authorities are becoming
aroused to the fact that some measures will
have to bo adopted to pevent the large num
ber of cntcitalnments natuially attendant
upon such an affair aa the exponltlon from ,
locating outside the grounds , thereby de

These shown will attract the dollars from the
pockets of the people before they get Insldo

not derive any pecuniary benefit from the.so
outside exhibits.
