CANTON , March 1. H wna Indeed n
beautiful and Impressive scone that Canton
presented this evening when her citizens
bade farewell to Major and Mrs. McKlnley.
.as they entered the special train In waiting
to convey them to Washington. The people
ot the city Bccmcd to have t.irned out eri-
rnasso to do honor to the distinguished
. "friends and neighbors who have o long been
'regarded with the greatest love and esteem ,
and who , by the honors they have won In
thonation , , have done so much to attract
favo'rablo attention to Canton. No lines
wore drtwn In the largo concourse of people
which followed the McKlnloy carriage to
the raln unit surrounded the station to
mingle tholr cheers In ths mighty sound
which echoed above the din of the train as
It disappeared In the cast. Young and old ,
rich and poor , richly gowned and humbly
4Lil , lowly and afflcnt people of all political
" '
( invidious , of nil 'creeds and races , sur
rounded the railroad station , each necking
some point ot vantage for a last look at the
spccdlut' .parly and onch good uaturcd and
. Indlffo' iit to the personal d'.Scomfort cx-
perlcniAM through the movements of others.
.The day dnwntd with tits blusterous quality
ot March weather , which hrook.i no good to
prearranged programs. Hlasm of wind that
, ' ' , Miado t'io alt- seem far colder than the ther-
< , Vsumetcra registered were followed by fitful
, ijiirricn of enow and they In turn by the
Elect and Icy rainfall. Hut as the day ad-
iced Lie weather promises of the morn-
were not redeemed. There
was a decided moderation In the
temperature , and by noon all traces of snow
hod disappeared. There was still n sugges
tion of rain , but It wca not strong and the
committees in charge of the demonstration
took heart from the assurance that whatso
ever other condltlunn might prevail , the
temperature would bo ir.ild and Ihe people
of the city would be able to gratify their
pft-repjated wishes to attend some concerted
farewell demonstration to the president-elect
k and his wife.
'N ' HUSTLE BEGINS.
S It was not until 0 o'clock this evening
that thp demonstration proper began with
the organization ot thu escort. But long
before that tImaAthc p-town streets began
tt tprflltVfltlL-people waitIngjcuriously , and'tiot
t"b"o patiently foi ; the parade. Others were
lingering about the station , anxious to
catch a glimpse of , or mayhap , make an In
spection of , the handsome cars , stories of
the beauty of which they.have read for days.
Hut the train wai not long In the station ,
nor wna there opportunity for more than a
cursory review. It arrUoti at 5:30 : o'clock
from the Alliance yards , tvhoro the cars wore
RUbmltteil to a careful Inspection and test
during the day.

The train's crew waa completed with S. T.

Immediately back of the engine Is a com

back of It the dining etr. Three Pullmans ,

private car No. 605 and private car No. 38
In the rear. Car No. 'JS Is the ono occupied
by the president-elect and Sirs. 'McKlnloy. '
It Is a private car without a name , save
that it is known all over the Panhandle
system as "No. 38. " The walls are
of white oak , planked solid , Instead of the
usual studding. If It should roll down an
embankment the sldeE would not break and
jt would resist almost any kind of a shock

iv3ushloncd. Tli'o floor Is four thicknesses of
heavy white oak. The entire car Is a hugo
Indestructible box. The chief luxury of
the Interior Is the perfect arrangement of
everything pertaining to human comfort. It
has an old-fndiloned log fireplace nnd two
palatial bed rooms and a bath opening from
each chamber. There Is a magnificent sil

PARADE ORGANIZES ,
Promptly at C p. m. the bands , military ,
clubs anJ citizens began to organize In the
city hall square , Captain Harry Frceee ,
who commanded the famous Canton troop
during the campaign , was chief marshal and
Captain II. L. Kuhna his chlcf-ot-staff , They
coon brought order out of chaos In Ihe assem
bled mullitudn and a more devoted escort uian
novert had than that which shortly before 7
o'clock marched to the McKlntey homo. A
Ynlatoon of white-gloved policemen headed
JFUie line and back of thU came the Canton
1 \roop. This la an organization of nearly 100
representative citizens , organized early in
the campaign lo receive , escort anJ otherwlie
entertain the visiting deli-gates. They wore
military co'tn , broad-brimmed huts , top-
joots , light colored gauntlets , and arc all
well mounted and well drilled In cavalry
tactics. The troop leaves for Washington
tomorrow , and will participate In the In
augural parade.
Following the troop came Canton'6 famous
Grand Army band. This , In turn , was fol
lowed by the Third battalion , Klght regiment ,
Ohio National guard. This regiment waste
to have been honorary escort to the presi
dent-elect en the trip to Washington and
from the capital station to the hotel , but the
failure to secure satisfactory railroad ar
rangements prevented this , an well as other
Ohio military organizations Joining In the
Inaugural demonstration. Three companies ,
a signal and a hospital corps , constitute the
battalion.
In the order named were the Canton Busi
ness Men's association. Grand Army posts ,
old soldiers , the First Ward Republican club ,
of which Major McKlnley Is a member , Ihe
Second Ward Hcpubllcan club , other clubs
and societies and unorganized citizens of
Canton , Mnoslllon and other surrounding
towns.
Thus organized , the column marched
through the public square , and Up Market
street hill , patelng the McKlnloy home , and
the countermarching on Market street.
When the Hualnoss Men's association wns
oppcalto the McKlnley gate , the column
halted and waited for Major and Mrs. Mc
Klnley anJ their attendants to enter the car
riage In waiting. This carriage was drawn
by four splendidly caparisoned horses and
around It the members ot the Canton Husl-
nosB Men's association stationed themselves
as n gunrd oC honor. Two mounted aided
rode abreast of thu carriage horses ami the
tuislncM men completed the hollow square
In which the carriage moved.
ILLUMINATIONS.
The McKlnley arch , just at the foot of Mar
ket street hill , wan Illuminated as darkness
fell over the city and shone resplendent as
the column marched under It , going to and
from the McKlnloy house. Hundreds ot
colored Incandescent lights sent their soft
rays far along the street on either side and
made bright for the time the decorations and
statuary , now worsted by the weather. H
was probably Illuminated for the laH lime
tonight and the marchers an they passed
looked backward for a last glimpse of what
Is now the most conspicuous reminder of the
exciting campaign 'In Canton last fall , In
which hundreds of thousands of people from
all quarters participated. It will be with
regret that the erasing of this structure will
bo reviewed by Cantonlans.
There was no detour from the direct route
to the station made by the column. Along the
line the carriage containing the president
elect and wife was kept In a halo cf brilliant
light from flambeaux emitting lurid rays re
placed from time to time as they burned
dimly. At various points along the line
colored fires were also burned and though
there was no organized effort In that line. In
dividuals at various places sent skyrockets
and roman candles whizzing through the
air. Aa the head of the column reached the
train and halted the rear pushed forward
and the crowds from the sidewalks mingled
with the marchcro until the platform and
surround Ing streets were filled with a seeth
ing , surging mass of humanity , each striv
ing heroically to get nearest the point where
the president-elect would be last scan , and
some striving for a last handshake , al
though the committee had arranged there
should be none of this.
M'KINLEY'S FAREWELL WORDS.
From the rear platform of the train , the
major made the following address to his
friends who were at the station to bid him
farewell :
"My neighbors , and friends , nnd fellow
citizens. On the eve of my departure to
the scat of government , soon to assume the
duties of an arduovo responsibility as great
as can devolve on any man , nothing could
give me greater pleasure than this fare
well greeting this evidence of your friend
ship and sympathy ; your good will , E.nd ,
I am bure , the prayers of all the people with
whom I have lived * so 'long and -whose' con
fidence and esteem are dearer 'to me than
any other earthly honors. To all ot v.a
the future is a sealed book ; but If I can ,
by ofllclal act or administration , or utter
ance. In any degiee , add to the prosperity of
our beloved country and the comfort and
well being of our splendid citizenship , I will
devote the best and moat unselfish efforts
of my life. The assumption of the chief
magistracy Is of such grave Importance that
parthanuhlp cannot blind the Judgment or
accept any other considerations , but for the
public good of all to every party and every
section. With this thought uppermcat In
my mind , I reluctantly take leave ot my
friends and my neighbors , cherishing In
my heart the sweetest memories ami the
teudercst thoughts of my old home my home
now and , I trust , my 'home ' hereafter , BO
long as I live. I thank you and bid you
all goodbye. "
"Don't forget the worklngmen , major , "
cried one man , ao tha president-elect mounted
t'n.j . tialn. Ho bowed his acknowledgmeit.3.
Those about him saw he was visibly affected ,
and us he came from the train platform to
greet his wife after the Canton farewell , his
eyes were moist and voice tremulous with
emotion.
The Grand Army band played "Home ,
Sweet Home , " cs the train pullsd out of
Canton , and this was still sounding In touch
ing refrain In Mrs. McKlnley's earn nu the
major came to sit beside her. The first
station , Louisville , was but seven miles away ,
and the major stepped out Into tlio dark nlgl.t
on the rear platform after donning a maek-
Intcsli. IIu waved his hat to the rallrouJ
trackmen and worklngmcn assembled. The
hundred miles even to Plttaburg was an un
interrupted succession of ovations , although
the train had not ofopped until PIttsburg
station at any point but at a water tank.

WASHINGTON , March 1. The railroads
are pouring Inaugural visitors Into town ,
and with bunting flashing from Innumer
able windows the city Is fairly allvo to the
fact that Inauguration day Is at hand.
Tomorrow the row president and vice
president will reach the city , and from
that time ou * peclal trains will pour sol-
illera , clubs and private citizens Into town
every hour cf the day and night , until noon
of March ,
Should the estimates of the several rail
roads running Into Washington hold good ,
there will bo a crowd of 2:15,000 : strangers
in the city for the -lth of March.
Among the arrivals of the day were Gov
ernor Hastings of Pennsylvania and staff.
The Inaugural committee headquarters were
crowded during the day , though little busi
ness waa transacted. Governors Hushnell
of Ohio and Tanner of Illinois called to make
final arrangements for quarters for their
StilGd.
The pension office building was today
turned over to the decoration committee
to prepare for the Inaugural ball. This
will niton the suspension of all ofllclal , busi
ness for the remainder of the week , and
the clerks will have a holiday.
At the white house matters are being ar
ranged with as much care and as Ilttlo
disturbance as possible. Retiring Secretary
Thurbcr and Incoming Secretary J. Addl-
son Porter are buey together over books and
accounts. A now set of books to start with
has been obtained and the government
printers have sent down such now blanks
for commissions of the now officeholders
and the like as need the name of William
McKlnley substituted In them for Graver
Cleveland.
Mrs. Cleveland leturnod from Princeton
this evening and wilt bo at the whlto house
until the morning of March 4 , to assist Mr.
Cleveland In social functions. It has been
ananged that Major and Mrs. McKlnloy
will bo thu guests of President and Mrs ,
Cleveland at dinner tomorrow c\enlng , ro
the first meal the president-elect will take
In Washington will bo at the white house.
The dinner will bo purely a private affair
and there will bo no other guests.
The Interesting and somewhat delicate
question of what church will have the honor
of entertaining President McKlnley during
the coming four years has been fettled In
favor of the Foundry Methodist Episcopal
church at Fourteenth and G streets. Doth
the Foundry and the Metropolitan were anx
ious for this distinction , and both churches
have had deputations In Canton In the last

WASHINGTON , March 1. Thq house gal-
lorlcs were thronged with visitors all day ,
but the crowds witnessed nothing bcjond
the dullest of routine matters until the last
half hour of the session , when the bill to
prohibit the transmission of detailed ac
counts of prlzo fights by mall or telegraph
was brought up. This led to a very lively
skirmish , In which prize lighting was dc-
uouncoJ on all sides , and 'tho ' advocates ot
the bill Insisted that the "sickening dolalls
should ho suppressed In the Interest of good
morals , " but 'the ' bill met strenuous op
position on the ground that It would tend
to establish a censorship of the press. At
the end of the debate , which wns participated
In by Messrs. Aldrlch , republican of Illi
nois ; Grosveiior , republican of Ohio ; Morse ,
republican of Massachusetts , In favor of ihc
bill ; atU Messrs. Dockcry of Missouri and
Cummlngs , democrat ot New York , In op
position , the adversaries of the measure
outvoted the friends of the bill on several
fillbutitcrlng meltons , but an agreement for
a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow put an
end to hostilities. The bill now becomca
the unfinished business whenever the call
of committees Is reached , but as conference
reports have the right of way It Is doubt
ful whether'that ' order of business will again
bo reached thla session.
Mr. Aldrlch , republican of Illinois , who
called up the prize fighting bill , said that
while this would not prevent the "mill
scheduled to take place In Nevada Slarch
17" or the transmission of news of the re
sult , It would prevent the 'broadcast dis
semination of the olckenlng detalln. and the
demoralizing preliminaries" with which the
columns of the newspapers already teemed.
Mr. Morse , republican of Mataacnusotts , ad
vocated the passing of the bill , "ns a pro
tection ot the youth of the country. " He
said ho hoped the result of the fight would
bo that these two brutes would kill each
other.
GROSVENOR GROWS SARCASTIC.
Governor Grosvenor , republican ot Ohio ,
oxprosecd the opinion that the necessities
of morality and public order demanded the
suppression of prize fighting. "If I lived
In a state , " he said , "which has nothing
else to con mend It , I might favor prize
fighting. " ( Laughter ) .
Mr. Doekery , democrat of Missouri , vigor
ously opposed the bill. Ho opposed prize
fighting , he said , as much as any one , but
thla bill would establish a censorship of
the press , and If carried to Its logical con
clusion would necessitate a bureau for that
purpose.
Mr. Cummlngs , democrat of New York ,
characterized the bill as dangerous legisla
tion. Ho said It It ever passed many of
the books In the congressional library could
not be scut through the malls.
Mr. Hepburne , republican of Iowa , closed
the debate with an earnest plea for the
bill.

The oundry civil bill was sent to confer
ence , Messrs. Cannon , \V. A. Stone and
Sayers , being the conferees. The postofflee
appropriation bill was also sent to confer
ence , Messrs. Loud , republican of California ,
Smith , republican of Illinois , and Kyle ,
democrat of Mississippi , being appointed con
ferees. A number of other bills were cent
to conference.
Mr. Van Horn , republican of Missouri ,
Eccured the paasago of a bill authorizing
the Inter-state National Hank of Kansas City
to mcvo from Kansas City Into the state of
Missouri. It seems the bank Is in a build

from one portion of the building , which Is
In Kansas , to another portion , which is In

The conference report on the bill to pro

A bill was passed to provide for the trans

WASHINGTON , March 1. The senate was
at work again at 11 o'clock today , after
bolng in Ecaslon until shortly before mid
night last night. As the Inauguration approaches
preaches the senators are the hardest worked
body of public men In Washington , many of
tlin appropriation bills being In thebalance. .
The prospect la that the senators will alt
practically night and day until noon of
March 4 and throughout the night of March
3. On the Instant of noun of March I the
ccsjlon will end , for the officials have de
termined that there will ba an eiU to the
venerable custom of turning back theliandu
of the clock In order to crowd through the
remaining bills.
Mr. Lodge , if publican of Massachusetts ,
gave notice today of a motion to rojonalder
the \ote on the passage ot the sundry civil
bill. Ho scon withdrew the notice , saying
ho had been at-tired thai an objectionable
amendment relating to the Immigration lawa
would be taken out In conference.
The District cf Columbia appropriation
bill was then taken up.
Thu bill was laid aside for the passage of
house bill , authorizing the forfeiting of
domestic smoking opium , with the senate
amendment providing that such opium shall
bo destroyed.
PLATTB APPEARS.
Senator-elect Thomas C. Platt of New York
came on the floor and held quite a reception ,
many senators , Including Mr. Hill , whom ho
succeeds , being among the number to greet
him.
him.Further
Further Items aggregating $147,000 were
added to the District of Columbia bill by
the senate , and the bill was passed. One
of the committed amendments agreed to do-
clarra the policy ot the United tSates to bo
against appropriations to aid any church or
religious boclcty In charitable work nnd ter
minating all such aid after Juno 30 , lt > 9S.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up. Mr. Chandler stated ho would
tnovo Inter to Increase the appropriation for
torpedo boats or decrease the number pro
vided. All the other Items were agreed to
without comment , except that relating to
cost of armor and the establishing of a gov
ernment armor plant , which occasioned ex
tended debate.
Mr. Hale , In ehargo of the bill , explained
that a thorough Investigation led to the be
lief that armor plate should not cost above
? 4i > 0 jier ton.
Mr. Chandler moved an amendment to the
foregoing , fixing the price at $300 per ton. The
Ecnator paid a high tribute to Secretary Her
bert for hla able and courageous policy , In
which ho concluded the cost of armor should
not be above J400 per ton.
Mr. Gorman traced the developments of
the new navy and urged that It was not n
time to reverse our policy and enter upon a
huge scheme of establishing a. government
armor factory , run by government ofilcers.
It would make armor cost four tlnuohat
had been paid private concerns.
When Mr. Jones , democrat of Arkansas ,
spoke on the "monstroiu prico" paid by the
government for armor , and of Secretary Her
bert's recent reommenJttlonti , Mr. Gorman
said ho had never put much faith In "death
bed repentances , "
The naval bill was temporarily laid aside

The charge was resented by Senator Hawley
of Connecticut , whereupon Mrf Tlllman ro-
piled that "the galled Jade wfncos , " and It
looked for-a time as though afpcrtonnl con
flict was Imminent , until Mr , 21a'wloy waa
'
escorted to the cloak room , ,
Senators Hawley and Squire- had tipokcn
against Senator Chandler's amendment to the
naval appropriation bill to reduce the prlco
of armor plate to $300 a ton.Vnd ; Senator
Elklns had complained of tlie'l.ick of Information
mation on the coot of armor 'plate , when
Senator Tlllman took the floor ,
"Although a member of this naval commit
tee , " began Mr. Tlllman , who' followed Mr.
Elklns , "and though I have given as much
time to this as I could spare from my other
dutlcii. I am not able to give tfie senator as
much Information as he wants. 'But I nm
able to nay that no recent expenditure of the
government has been so recking with fraud ,
and so disgraceful to those connected with
It.
"When Secretary Whitney m.de the first
contracts for armor plato It wan understood
that these enormous prices were to bs paid
only for n time. , on account ot the great ex
penditure necessary to build an urmor plant.
When , lust year , under the Impetus ot the
Venezuelan war scare , the housa-had sent a
propof.il for four battleships to the senate ,
the number had been fixed at three , because
there were only three yards In the country
that could build such ships. Ths three
com pan leu had agreed upon tlm-prlce % , had
bid In collusion , and consequently , the gov
ernment was paying over n million and a
half more for there ships than was neces
sary. "
Then coming to the armor plr.to question ,
la said : "Instpad of us coLtrolllnjj the

HAWLEY INTERESTED , <
Senator Hawley at this charts half rose
from the chair , as If ho would Interpose
an objection , then changed ht.H mind and
sank back. ;
"I would hate to say , or oven Insinuate , "
Mr. Tlllman continued , twirling his glasses
In his hand , "that these armor plate man
ufacturers have their paid agents In the
senate. "
Then Mr. Hawley rose , beginning : "Does
the senator dare "
Mr. Tlllman took the words , from his
mouth. " *
"I dare to say , " ho shoutrdi "lhat so far
as I can see there are many things hero
that can be explained on no othev'theory. "
"If the senator dares to sayi or oven to
Insinuate , such a disgraceful th'.ngiJie says
what Is untrue , and what Is unworthy of
n gentleman , " Mr. Hawley replied very de
liberately and emphatically. N ,
The galleries were crowded , and at this
exchange of charges a deep hmh s'ucceeded
tholr buzzing. * , ,
Senator Tlllmanwas unruffleifii , ' He thrust
a hand Into his trousers pwkoc noncha

got enough vitriol In mo now. "
Going on with the subject of armor plate ,
he said he could'seo ' no explanation for the
state of affalra , except that i the" ' manufac
turers had their friends In the senate
chamber. There was proof that the gov
ernment was to bo looted to. the extent of
$2,000,000 or J3.000.000 , yet "senators said !
"We can't help it. " The trusts had the gov-
irnment down and their hands In Its pock

Said Mr. Tlllman : "The country's eyes
are on us. We are already dUgraccd because
wo do not hasten to do the bidding ot Wall
street fatt enough. The touch cf the but

and so the metropolitan preen Is Ect upon
us to whip us Into line. " Continuing , Mr.
Tlllman said there was still a darker page
In the history of the dealings of the
CaniEgles with the government. Ho referred
tothe charges of making defective armor In
1801.

"The thieves were caught , " he said , "but
they wore released. The secretary Imposed
a fin ; , but this glorious president of ours ,
who , thank God , goes out of office In two
days more , remitted the fine. And yet , In
th ? face of these facto , a senator with his
thick kln gets up and undertakes to twit
me with slandering the senate. "
He continued to lecture the senate , saying
ho had no doubt the proposition would go
through.
"Tho old guard never surrenders , " he ex
claimed. "You get up here and squabble
over your little $10,000 Items , and let these
million dollar etcals go thrcuzh like greased
lightning. " He had. ho said , convinced him
self that the coat of producing armor plato
did not exceed $200 per ton. Ho nald , how
ever , that the naval conimlttoo had placed
the amount at $100 , because It wan neces
sary to do so to reach an agreement , and
because they had in mind that the bill must
run the gauntlet c' the IIOIMC , "where1 he
said , "gag law Is In full ferro nud effect ,
uhro a man , a fros American , must crawl
on his belly like a worm , or fawn like a
whipped cur to get recognition for anything ,
He said they had also borne In mind that
It would have to run the gauntlet of the
mogu's ' of the senate committee en appro
priations.
PRICE OF ARMOR PLATES DEDUCED.
Mr. Quay followed the speech-with a mo
tion to lay Mr. Chandler's motion , to reduce
to $300 per ton on the table.- The motion
was lost , 12 to 30.
Mr. Chandler took up the armorplato , dls-
ciibslon. It wan true , he said , that Ihe Amer
ican manufacturers had lately inado con
tracts with the Russian < ovornineut , at high
prices because since they had forppd them
selves Into the European market , > they had
bocn taken Into the European combine , and
now ono great International combine con
trolled armor plates the world , over. Mr.
Squires said ho took im etock In , thu talk
about the high profits made by the manu
facturers.
The Chandler amendment redijcing the
prlco ot nrmor plato to $300 a ton Wfis adopted
without n cllvlnlou.
Tlien another amendmint proposed by Mr.
1'ettlgrow to reduce the total of contracts
authorized to $2.407C05 , to correspond with
the reduction per ton , was adopted. The
amendment authorizing Iho secretary ot the
navy to establish a government armor plato
factory at a cost of $1,500.000 If .he failed to
make contracts wan lost , 2C to , 30.
Mr. Gorman appealed to the "senate to vole
aga'lnet ' It , as the question might be settled
at the next sembn and It woujd do no barm
to postpone the work on ships , Mr. Gorman
then moved to etrlko out the paragraph au
thorizing the secret arm of thp navy to con
tract with the bulldem of thohulls and ma
chinery of the vessels under way for the
armor.
A prediction was made by Mr. Thurston
that striking out the authority to the gov
ernment to build Its own plant emasculated
the action of the committee In reducing the
prlco of plate , The armor 'manufacturers
would refuuo to make a contract at the rate
named ,
The naval bill waa passed at jugt mid
night , and although Mr Chandler tried to
rail up the International monetary confer
ence bill , the senate adjourned.

1'rvMctit
OANEA , .March 1. 9 p. in. The town of
Gondlamo has fallen Into the handa ot the
Insurgents. Later advices state that the
Greeks first took the fortress ot Vavareo ,
which dominates the town , where there were
3,000 Mussulmans.
The beys having appealed to Tewfik Pasha
to get the sultan's protection for bcolegcd
Mussulmans , ho replied that the sultan waa
powerless to Insure It and that they must
look' to the powers. Thereupon the beys
went to the English consulate to ask for
assistance.
A Turkish delegation went to the Greek
consulate thla morning , asking protection
for the Mussulmans , who are blockaded at
Gandlamo , If they yielded to the Greek troops
and declaring they accepted the protection
ot Greece. The vice consul promised com
plete safety. He said Greece was animated
by the most benevolent sentiments. The
Mussulmans of Canea arc greatly excited by
the -news that the Mussulmans of Candlamo
are In the greatest -peril.
ATHENS March 1. At n crowded meeting
of the Chamber ot Deputies today Scnor
Delyannls announced In the most positive
terms that It waa the Turks who had pro
voked the fleets of the -powers to bombard
Canea.
The minister of marine read to the Cham
ber the Injunctions addressed by the for
eign admirals to the commodore of the Greek
fleet , forbidding either n sea or land attack
upon occupied fortresses or an attacl : of the
Greek fleet upon the Turkish ships , for the
advance ot Colonel Vassos Into the 'Interior ,
and otatlng that any attempt at evasion of
these Injunctions would be repelled by the
combined fleets of the powers.
Thh created a great sensation In the
Chamber. Deputy Seals asserted that the
reply of the Greek government should have
been a declaration of war.
VERY WARLIKE TALK.
The minister of marine , resuming , said
that the government had notified the powers
that 'It would bo Impossible to Impose such
a condition ot inactivity upon Colonel Vas
sos. Ho stated further that Greece would
1:30 all the means In her power to prevent
the landing of Turkish troops In Crete , but
would resist an attack upon occupied towns
so long as the occupation lasted.
Scnor Delyannls , who rcas again , Indig
nantly pretested against the bombardment
en an unjust , savage and Impious act , In-
cxpllcablo under the spirit or letter of the
International law. Greece , he said , had
Instructed her representatives abroad to
protest naginst the bombardment to the re
spective Governments to which they were
accredited , !
"Wo are convinced , " he concluded , "that
the admirals , of tub forelgiv fleet acted with
out instructions. We are a small natjon and
cannot prevent such acts , but wo protest
with all the force of n great people , knowIng -
Ing that we hftvo all great' people with Us
"In the protc-st. "
Prolonged cheers followed the utterances
ofSonor _ Delyannls , and the Chamber ad-
'Journed. It Is stated "that the Greek com
modore , Rcinlcko , will bo recalled from
Crete , ostensibly on the ground of Ill-health ,
and that ho will be replaced by Captain
Sachtourls.
WILLIAM'S WRATH A FEATURE.
LONDON , March 1. The Dally Chronicle
bays there is Ilttlo doubt that the osrious
hitch In the concert of the powers Is due ,
first , to the lack of wisdom on the part of
the government , nnd , secondly , to the wrath
ot Emperor William , whom , the Chronicle
saja , deeply rcaents the form of Lord Salis
bury's unncuncement of the policy of Great
Britain toward Crete , especially the sug
gestion that Great Ilrltalii has taken the
lead In the concert. Continuing , the Chroni
cle says : "ThU .Indiscretion was enhanced
by Mr. Curzon's .most unfortunate speech ,
In which ho said that the solution was
mainly due to Lord Salisbury. It Is under
stood that the emperor. In. retaliation , made
himuelf renpopslble for the official communi
cation from St. Petersburg , on Thursday
last , In which Russia threatened the linmc-
dlito coercion of Grosce , failing her Instant
compliance. There Is reason to believe that
the attitude of the emperor has been Influ
enced by the serious reports which have
reached Ilcrlln as to the present relations be
tween Englr.nd and the Transvaal. "
CONSTANTINOPLE , March 1. The am
bassadors have completed the communication

will not bo withdrawn. Slacedonlau forces ,
will bo ruleed within n few weeks , with a ,
view to possible contingencies , and If the
Turks attempt to Invade Thessaly the Bul
garian government Is determined to advance
Its troops Instantly to the Ageu sea. It Is
rumored that the scsiet national committee
Iir.a decided to commence operations In
Macedonia today.
Special dispatches state that the Turks
sucrecdcd In revlctualing the blockhouse at
Malatata. but weie attacked by Insurgents I
on their return.
The consuls at Candla have signed a tele
gram Imploring the powers not to delay a
illscueslon. The town Is so crowded with
Moslems that famine- threatens great loss of
life. Hundreds of lion-ea and eattlo are al
ready dying from want of fodder. The In
surgents have completely cordoned Candla. !
The greatest anxiety exists also as to the '
situation nt Sellnos , where the armistice
agreed upon by the powers has expired.
The Insurgents are In a worse mood than
ever nnd thoroughly determined ,
T'io Athens correspondent of the Chron
icle states that at a conference of the rep
resentatives of the powers Sunday evening
It was decided to withdraw the collective
note Inviting Greece to retire Its fleet and
troops from Crete. Ho learns on good au
thority that no date was fixed for the re
call. The Instructions ot the representatives
of the powers on this point arc at variance.

The appearance bond of ex-Treasurer Hart

cepted by Judge Cochran , Is signed by Anica
& Pettis , attorneys for Hartley , and Henry ,
C. Russell , J. A. Piper , R. P. Townley , W. S.
Summers and W. C. Wilson. Mr. Anus quail.
neil for $30,000 , H. C. Russell nnd W. S.
Summers for 55,000 each , nnd < the other sign-
CIB did not qualify for anything. This bond
Is merely temporary and will bo renewed
next Thursday , when Hartley Is arraigned.
He will waive examination and await action
by the district court. C. O. Whcodon ot
this city has been retained in the case and ,
will assist Harwood , Ames & Pcttls In the
defense.
Some of the ablest attorneys In the state
are now disagreed whether or not the last
ofilci.il bond given by the retiring state treas
urer , Joseph S. Hartley , has been Invalidated :
and Is void In law. Heforo the recent crimi
nal proceedings were commenced against Mr.
Hartley by Attorney General Smyth a rep
resentative cf The Hoc went to the office ot
Secretary of State Porter to examine the
document. It was found that the bond had
been approved by Governor Holcomb on the
9th day of January , 1S95. It was also filed
that day with the secretary of state. The
Heo representative then had recourse to the
Consolidated Statutes , Cobboy's , for 1S95.
Section 20S2 , page 089 , reads as follows :
"Ofllehl bonds , with the oath endorsed there
on , shall bo filed In the proper office within
the tlmeu as follows : Of all officials elected
at any general election ou or before the
first Thursday In January next succeeding
the election. " Section 29S3 reads : "Tho
official bonds of alt state or district officers ,
except governor , shall bo approved by the
governor and filed anil recorded In the olfico
of the secretary of state. " Section 2992
rcida : "If any person elected or appointed
to any office shall neglect to have his offi
cial bond executed and approved as provided
by law and filed for record within the tlmo
limited by the act , his office shall thereupon
Ipso facto become vacant and such vacancy ,
shall therefore Immediately bo filled by elec
tion or appointment , as the law may direct
In other cases of vacancy In the same office. " .
HOW THE UOND WAS 'FILED. * , '
The first day of January , 1&95 , came oh
Tuesday. The first Thursday following the
general election , or succeeding , as the wordIng -
Ing of the law has It , would have been on
January 3 , 1895. On that date Mr. Hartley
had hie bond ready for approval and left
the same with Governor Holcomb. The gov
ernor lookoJ It over and returned It to
Hartley with the request that ho procure
some more signatures , and aUo that he in
crease the amount to ? 1 ,500,000. Hartley
took the bond away with him , ptocurcd other
signers nnd returned It to the governor.
Governor Holcomb kept the bond by him
until January 9 , six days after the limit
prescribed by law for official filing and ap
proval , and then approved the same and
transmitted It to the secretary of state 'for
filing on the same day , January 9 , 18W. The
three new names to his bond , which Hartley
secured prior to Thursday , January 3 , 1895 ,
were Thomas Swobe , qualifying for $100,000 ;
Cadet Taylor , qualifying for $25,000 , and
W. A. Paxton , qualifying for $300.000.
When Iho attention of Mr. Hartley was
called to this matter today he said that ho
had boon cognizant of the fact that the bond
was Invalid for some time , but that ho had
gene ahead and turned In what money ho
could get without breaking banks , and In
tended to do so right along. The Invalidity
of the bond , he said , would In nowise affect
his action.
It Is , however , the opinion of some equally
good lawyers that Hartley's ofllclal bond Is
In nowise Invalidated , The provision of the
statute quotexl , they hold , Is not mandatory ,
but la directive only , Mr. Hartley having ac
cepted the office and all the privileges that
go with It , will bo estopped from now plead
ing Immunity arising from the alleged negll-
gcnco of the governor ,

LINCOLN , March L ( Special. ) The scnato
gave Itself over to the care of a large dole-
gallon of vlalllng physicians thld afternoon ,
the presence of DO many representatives of
the medical profession being occasioned by the
fact that the bill In which they were Inter
ested had been mudo a y.icclal order for li
o'cloc'f. It wa1) not until 2:30 : that the Eon-
ate went Into committee of the whole with.
Mr. Gondrlng In the chair.
It was evident from the start that a strong
prcfsuro waa being exerted for the bill from
different parts of the state and that there
wai apparently an equally strong opposition
against the proposed law. Half an hour wun
coniniincd In reading petitions fur and against
the passage of the bill. From Grand hiland
came a petition signed by Dr. J. L , Suther
land and eight other * ) , asking for the Inune-
dlato pacsago of the bill. From Omaha
came a similar petition , signed by Dr. W. R ,
Lu vender and forty others. The Lincoln
Medical society presented u Hsrles of reeolu-
tlons favoring the bill , ulgncd by Dr. M. II.
Garten nnd thlrty-alx other physicians. Six
physicians from Nebraska City sent n tele
gram urging the senate to favor the pioposcd
new law. The York County Medical so
ciety presented a petition favoring the now
law. On the other hand letters and petitions
were read from Grand Island , Omaha and
other plare.s protesting against the parsugo
of the now act.
Taking up the parliamentary procedure tha
bill was read by tbo clerk and Immediately
Mr. Muflly brought the question before the
committee by moving that when the commit
tee arcfio It report the bill back lo the wen-
ate with the recommendation that the bill
under consideration be Indefinitely postponed ,
The motion was held In abeyance by , gen
eral consent while Mr. Grothan , the principal
champion of the bill , moved that thu bill
be toad again section l > y section , In order'
that Important amendments already prepared
might bo submitted. The motion was agreed
to.
There were no Important changes pro
posed to scctlona 1 and 2 ; but when section
3 had been read Mr. Grothan offered an
amendment which , * t > ho explained , did away'
with the strenuous opposition to the bill ,
The third section Is Ilia ono requiring all1
physicians desiring to practlco medicine In , '
Nebraska , unless already engaged In practlcu *
under the existing law , to pass a batlefactory
