LONDON , Feb. 22. The parliamentary sec
retary of the foreign office , George N. Curzon ,
answering a question in the House of Com
mons today , said that the presence ot the
Greek troops In the Island ot Crete so far
appeared to have added to the disorder. The
power * ) , ho continued , did not Intend to dele
gate to the Greek forces the duty of keep
ing order In the Interior of the Island. Mr.
Curzon further denied that the war ships had
attacked the Greeks. Ho Insisted , however ,
that the foreign fleets had no choice but to
prevent b } force the continued advance of the
Insurgents on Canca.
This statement was greeted with opposition
cries of "Shame" and ministerial cheers.
Mr. Labouchcrc moved tbo adjournment of
the House In order to call attention to the
firing on the Greek forces by Ilrltlsh war
ships and all the members ot the opposition
present rose In support ot the motion , In
cluding the whole of the front opposition
bench. Mr. Labouchero said the question
was not n party one , but a national one , and
added : "Tho liberals will do their utmost
to prevent further action on behalf ot that
miserable cur. that foul blot upon civilization ,
the sultan ot Turkey. "
The speaker pointed out that the rules of
the HOUFQ icqiilred the usr of more respect
ful terms In reference to a foreign sovciolgn ,
whereupon Mr. Labouchcre apologised , ex
plaining that he was carried away by the
statements of Mr. Gladstone and others.
John Dillon , chairman of the parliamentary
Irish party , In seconding Mr. Labouchcro's
motion to adjourn , said that the House hail
been silent too long. Her raajostj't ships
had committed an outrage In firing upon a
people who , after centuries of oppression ,
were risking their lives for freedom.
A. J. Dalfoui , Ihe first lord of the treasury ,
dwelt on the difficulty and danger of the
present crisis. The powers , he explained ,
were unanimous In agreeing that the } should
do everything to avoid war. The feais aris
ing from ttio situation , Mr. IJnlfotir continued ,
vvcro shared by lespoiiblblo slatesmeri
througout the length and breadth ot Europe
Ho added :
"Will anjonc maintain that after the
powers had occupied the towns of Creti
they were to fold their arms and sail away
I do not dcsiro to conceal an } thing , but , re.
gaidlng the future , the government Is abso-
lately bound by certain conditions of international -
national communication. "
Regarding tlio future , Mr. Dalfour ex
plained tint bo could only say that the gov
ernment recognUod cleaily that to leave the
Turkish government to upset at will the
good work thut Kuropo had endeavored to ac
complish would fall far short of the Inter
national duties which the government bail
undei taken.
Sir William Voinon Hoicouit , the liberal
leader , who wan loudly cheered by the oppo
billon bald the time had como when the volet
of England ought to be heard Contlnul ig ,
Sir William asktd , "What Is Iho Interposi
tion of England ? Why are we In Crelo1
What nrei wo doing there ? The only polk }
worlhy of the government of England Is te
detach Ciete from Turkish rule. Public
opinion Is shocked ut England appearing as
thn active opponent of the Grosks. The
bombardinsnt has placed England In n false
position In the ees of the world. 1 protest -

added
A nation's honor consists In fidelity to
her engagements , In c.urjing out her con
tracts in splilt ns In theletter. . In pijlns
her Just debts , in respecting the rights of

I'nder such clfcumstanccB to expect that he

LINCOLN , Fcb. 22. ( Special Telegram. )
Governor Hotcomb will tomorrow announce
the names ot the six commlssloneru who are
to undertake the recount of the votes cast
on the constitutional amendments. Just who
these commissioners will bo has not vet
been disclosed , but the selection has already
been made. Under the terms of the law
tlioro must bo two republicans , two popu
lists and two democrats. It was at first
thought that the governor would aleze the
opportunity to appoint six silver men , two
each from among the popullsls , silver dem
ocrats and silver republicans. This , how-
o\cr , will not bo the case. The governor
has concluded to appoint the republicans
from among those who supported McKtnlcy
and have been Identified with the state cam-
palgn of the republicans , but ho has also de
termined to rely wholly upon his own Judg
ment as to which republicans ho will chocse.
Chairman Post of the republican state
central committee submitted over a week
ago the names of twcntj prominent repub
licans as a list from which the governor
might choose. On this list were the names
of such men as G. M , Lambertson ot Lincoln ,
Judge M. L. Hayward ot Nebraska City , et-
Govcrnor Janes W. Davvcs of Crete , J. B.
Mclklo of Omaha , Gcorgo II Thummcll of
Gland Island ami a number of other equally
prominent party workers. It la itmleiatqod
thit the governor will Ignore this list en
tirely. The men most prominently spoken
of In connection with the two places , that
are to be gl\cn to the republicans are P. O
Hedlund of Holdrcge , late candidate foi
state auditor , and L H Jowett of Broken
Dow , who was ono of the aspirants for the
republican nomination for state treasurer
last fall. It Is probable that the six com
missioners will bo taken Horn the different
congressional districts and In that case the
Omaha district may be represented bj nimer
Thomas U one of the populists. It Is un
derstood that the governor has practically
decided to appoint as the democratic members
of the commission C J. Dowlby of Crete and
William Rees of Norfolk. M. F. Harrington
of O'Neill Is likely to bo the ccoml populist
member. While this Iht of names is prac
tlcally coiipleto tonight , It may be
revised by tomorrow. Three nom
inations are not subject to confirmation bj
lh senate , but the go\cinor has preferred
to hold Item back till the legislature Is In
bcsslon.
WHERE TO FIND THE VOTES.
Just what the procedure will bo when the
commission bcglrs Ita work will have to be
determined nt their first meeting. As a
prominent populist expressed it , what Is
wanted Is that the commissioners shall give
the benefit of the doubt In every case In
fn\or of the constitutional amendments
This means that In every Instance where
there Is a possibility of disputing what thl
Intention of the voter was , It shall bo as
sumed that ho Intended to vote for the
amendment. How many such cases can bo
found Is the question that will determine
vfiotHer thtf amendments can be counted in
_ , Practically complete returns have been sq-
cureil 01 the legislative vote from * , % . , > up
resentatlve and senatorial district in the
state and they show tint by whatever scheme
of computation Is udoptca not less than 20" > , -
000 votes wore cast upon the legislative
ticket , and that accepting the most favorable
view ot the Maxwell supreme court de
cision. In order to carry any one of the
amendments , It mnsl have at least 103,000
votes The \ote cast lu favor of the amend
ment creating the additional supreme Judgeships -
ships was between 84,000 and 85,030 , so that
to declare it carried 20,000 votes must be
discovered that were not countoJ for It.
In case the republicans arc given suitable
rcpiescntatlon on the commission they will
try to Induce the commission to conduct the
recount openly and enter a protest agalntt
any star chamber proceedings behind closed
doors. The republican ( sentiment seems to
be In favor of accepting the situation and con
curring 'in the declaration that the amenc'-
mont has carried If the recount shows that
It has secured a clear majority of the votes
cast at the election ; but there Is also a de
termination to protest at over } point against
an } thing that savors of fraud or manipula
tion of votes , and to oppose the seating of
uny Judgca who have not been elected ac
cording to the provisions of the constitution
A demand will bo made that the progress of
the count bo publicly announced from day to
day , so as to provide against any snap Judg
ment or piling up of newly discovered balloti
at the end of the canvass. In case there Is
evidence thit underhanded work Is to bo
iscJ to count In the amendments resort will
bo had to the courts and the matter will bo
carried , If noccFsary , to the bupicme court
PURELY A PARTISAN PLAN.
Tl'e recount of the vote on the aniendmo.it
Is viewed as the beginning of a peiles of
partisan measures Intended to promote the
foi times of the populist paity and strengthen
It at this year's election. When first proposed -
posed , the iccount bill contemplated a can
vass of the votes on all of the constltu-
tlonil amendments , but as recast In the sen
ate It lost Its general chaiactcr , and be
came a b.ll for the iccount of the votes on
bJt ono amendment and that the amendment
upon which depended the seating of the two
populist claimants of places on tlio supreme
beiuh Instead nt being an attempt to &s-
euro n much-needed icvlslon of the- constitu
tion It has degenerated Into an attempt to
si'Miro two salaries for two populist canII
dates for ofllcc. Instead of seeking to remed }
abuses from which the public has been biif-
feilng the lecount Is designed to make polit
ical capital , and Is , therefore , regarded us
m'icly a political scheme. The Interest
In the proposed commission Is Increasing , an 1
its work will bo taicfully watched by icprc-
sontatlvcs uf ull the different part } organisa
tions.

personal organ , which on Saturday evening
came out with a triple-leaded Item foicshad-
owlng Hanna's appointment to the senate ,
conies out this evening in another editorial
on the matter which shows that the gov
ernor has for the time he-Ing thrown nw.a }
political ambition , so far ns the United
States senate Is concerned. The editorial , In
part , Is as follows
"Mr. Hanna directed one of the most re-
marknhlo and Important presidential cam
paigns ever waged , resulting in the election
of William McKlnley ou a plitform making
definite pledges on vital Issues. The v Ictoo
was among the most complete and signal
ever won In the political arena , so that ,
viewed In the light of recognition of services
rendered , the appointment Is well bestowed
"Governor Ilushnell has said In response to
Interviewers that ho hud dclacd this an
nouncement until he could thorough ! } satlsf }
himself as to the wishes of the masses of re
publicans of Ohio , which he has done , and
no\ , gives out the information because of
the general Intc-icst taken In the matter
throughout the country , believing It will pro
mote harmony In the party In this state ,
which 'It most certainly will. "
Then comes the announcement In the same
article : "Governor Uushncll will stand for
re-election this year and will not be a can
didate for United States senator for the full
term next } car. " This leaves Mr. Hanna In
full possession of the field.
