LONDON , March 20. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The first
reverberation of English guns fired against
Qrceco nntl It Is likely that It may come
would In oil probability topple over the
Salisbury ministry like a house of carde.
All England Is heartily ashamed of the gov
crnmcnt's attitude toward Crete. This la
becoming more obvious dolly , In spltti of
Lord Salisbury's still Intact majority In
Parliament. The expressions In Mr. Olad
Btono's letter to the duke of Westminster
rlnga through the land. Punch's cartoon of
a British sailor contemplating a Turkish
janissary threatening a Greek soldier re
flects the popular humor hero. It Is labeled :
"Ah ! That Greek's a plucky llttlo chap. "
Blr John Tcnnlel makca Jack Tar say :
" 1'rcclotis oorry that mo and my furrln'
mates ha\e to stop htm. " Another periodical
Imagines two dogeh of Venice discussing the
present situation. Francisco Mormoal re
marks : "Why , there la eound of cannon at
Canea. " Lulgl Mocetiigo responds : "Doubt
less It Is the fleet of the republic once again
defending Europe from the Turku. " An ofil-
clal cnro-takcr explains : "No , cxecellsncles ;
It IB Europe defending the Turks from the
Christians. " Mormosl and Moccnlgo exclaim
together : "Buck , back to the tomb ! Better

DOESN'T HEL1SH THE INVASION.
The announcement by the Dublin Freeman's
Journal that the Sixty-ninth regiment of the
National Ouard of New York will visit Ire
land next year to participate In the projected
celebration of the centenary of the Irish
rising of 1703 , has been received with the
greatest delight and enthusiasm by all Irish
nationalists. But the Intention la not likely
to bo carried out without a protest from the
Irish Orangemen , both In and out of Parlia
ment. It wTis asserted In the lobby of the
House of Commons laet night that William
Johnston , M. P. , a leading Oratigc partisan ,
purposes asking the government whether per
mission will be granted to that regiment to
bear arms In Ireland In such a connection ,
Prlnccsu Clara do Chlmny started for Paris
as soon as she received her March allowance
and Is butlly occupied there gutting now
clothes Illgo Is still with her , and appar
ently still holds her affection. The princess
Is again an object of great Interest In Paris
to Kilmond Leroy of Lo Journal. "In the
eyes of Hpsvon , " she protested to him , "Klgo
is my husband , because ho Is the choice ot
my heart. If I cannot marry him In France ,
I will In England , unless hla wife , that
wretched woman , still opposes a divorce , al
though flic has received EO much money from
us. " The princess and Ulgo wereat the
Hotel Terminus today , nurrouuded by a mot-
leycrowd of gypsy musicians , drinking cham-
jiagiio and smoking cxpenslvo cigars.
Princess Clara was very angry with her
former hutbaud , who had Just refused to
let her have a pot dog of hers , a present
from her brother , except upon payment of
2,000 francs. FUgo recently played at a
Cretan benefit concert and the prlnces.3 has
at last consented to appear on the stage at
the Winter Garden of Berlin In April , re
ceiving JG.GOO a month , and at the Albam-
bra of London in May , for which she will
be paid $8,000 and expenses. Some manager
therefore Is likely to have her In New York
teen , although she Insists that she Is afraid
of the American public.
CLAIMS ON THIS CHAMPION.
There Is considerable controversy hero con
cerning Mie real nationality of the new cham
pion puglltat of the world. The English
ftportlng papers maintain that Fltzslmmonu
Is a true born Englishman and a natlvo ot
Cornwall , whereas thu Irish press Insists that
lie is the son of Irish parents , wherever ho
may liavo been bom. An Irish member of

( Copyright , 1897 , by the Associated Trees. )
LONDON , March 20. Tlio Cretan Im
broglio remains the question of the hour and
the enforcing of the blockade of the Island
ot Crete , beginning tomorrow , Is expected
to give rise to exciting Incidents In the en-
dcavore of the Greeks to run the blockade.
_ The official London Gazette , organ of the
government , publishes a special supplement
today announcing that the blockade ot the
Island of Crete by the warships of the powers
will begin tomorrow. The liberal newspapers
continue their protests against Great Brit
ain taking any part In the blockade. H Is
understood that the Greek gunboats which
have been hovering around Crete and which
are now coaling at Ccrlgo , will be ordered
to keep outside the ten-mile limit or be
rammed by foreign warships.
The pamphlet of the Rt. Hon. William E.
Gladstone on tbo Cretan question Is said by
his opponents to have done little good , and
his Ideas are repudiated by some of the
liberal newspapers. The Dally News says :
"When wo turn to the pamphlet for guidance
wo are not so sure he will commend unver-
sal agreement. If Mr. Gladstone advocates
the simple abstention of Great Britain we
fear that the only result will be Impotence.
If he wants Isolated action It means the im
minent risk of a great , a perhaps universal
war. " These remarks are from the official
organ of the liberal party , and the conservatives
vatives naturally denounce Gladstone's so-
called "Interference" In measured terms.
DUB TO BRITISH INFLUENCE.
From various quarters comes the statement
that the comparative clemency of the powers
and the slowness In applying coercion Is
duo to British Influence. It was the mar
quis of Salisbury , It is understood , who pre
vailed upon the powers not to attempt co
ercion of Greece first , but to await the effect
of the Cretan blockade. The Paris Figaro
oven asserts that this Insistence of Lord
Salisbury caused a slight ruffling with 'the
other powers end the paper mentioned also
affirms that the British premier wishes' to
enter into negotiations with King George
with the view of determining upon the Tur
kish evacuation of Crete , when Greece could
reeall Colonel Vassos without a great sacri
fice of her "amour propre. "
In the meanwhllo all the powers are in
creasing their npval forces In the Levant.
The Austrian squadron will shortly be In
creased by three torpedo boats , and more
British war ships are ready to leave Malta
eastward.
The situation In the Balkans Is watched
with the detest attention. The Bulgarian
government has Just contracted with the
Krupp works of Germany to deliver ninety
cannon , with ammunition , within a year and
at a ccst of 2,250,000 francs.
Some account of the secret organization ,
Hetnltkl Heterla , or the national league of
Greece , which Is playing an Important part
In iHellcnlc politics , Is published. At first
the organization consisted merely of a small
secret committee of adventurous officers , but
It has since grown rapidly , until In 1S9C it
showed Its power by fomenting trouble In
Crete and Macedonia. It now contains 1,300
out of 1,500 officers of the Greek army , be
sides nearly tlio entire Greek nation. Its
extraordinary development was greatly fa
cilitated by the Olympic games , which
aroused considerable patriotic feeling. The
Hetnltkl Heterla Is divided Into four de
grees. They all obey the orders of the su
perior degree. It Is stated that King George
doubted the power of the league until some
of its members told him plainly that If ho
did not march resolutely at the head of his
people the Hetnltkl Heterla would depose
him. It Is believed In many quarters that
this organization will really decide whether
there will be war with Turkey or not.
CHARGES AGAINST "IAN MACLAREN. "
A petition , promoted by Rev. Dr. Ken
nedy Moore , will bo presented at the com
ing Presbyterian synod against Rev , Dr.
John Wateon ( "Ian McLaren" ) on the ground
of heterodox teaching In "Mind and Mas
ter" and "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush. "
Dr. Moore , In reply to a communication on
the subject , says : "Tho petition calla the
attention of the synod to the fact that Dr.
Watson repudiated the charge that bis
teaching tends to Unltarianlsm. "
Most of the weekly newspapers comment
upon President McKInloy's policy. The
Speaker says : "The tariff bill shows In at
least the wool and sugar schedules that
Its prime object Is to protect , " Continuing
the 'Speaker . .auks If the duties on sugar
are Intended "payment to the trusts for
support during the campaign. "
The Statist maintains that past deficits
were mainly caused by "the disorder of the
currency , which led to two panics , " adding
"If the currency la restored to order con
fidence will revive , trade will Improve and
tue revenue will augment. Unless the now
bill greatly differs from that of 1800 , sooner
or later It will create general dissatisfaction
and will lead to another tariff agitation.
The bill , If passed , will not have the re
sult * expected by .Mr. McKluley. It tb ;
alarms abate , the currency Is restored to
order and trade throughout the world re
vives , then the United States wjll share
la tli prosperity without a tariff bill. "

full text of the bill and all the leading news
papers publish extracts from it and eJltorlal
articles on the subject. The latter breathe
a fcplrlt ot fierce animosity and strong de
sire for reprisals.
The Klelnes Journal says : "If this bill
becomes a law Europe , aud especially Ger
many , must feel It to be an Intentional blow
In the face. A large part of our exports Is
thereby prohibited and another part Is ren
dered extremely difllcult. Many ot our In
dustries will be forced to completely reor
ganize their system of production , raise the
quality of their goods and specialize. In the
meanwhllo much of the commerce and In
dustry will be lost. "
Referring to the currency plans of the
United States government , It continues : " \Ve
deem silver to bo a danger to gold countries
and especially to Germany , even greater than
the tariff dangers. The remainder of our
commerce In America will be put upon a
shifting basis of values and great losses , too ,
are threatened to our financial Investments
In the United States. Our holdings In the
Northern Pacific railway alone amount to

The naval crisis still monopolizes attention
In Inner political circles , and Intense Inter
est waa shown in the fact that for the first
time this session members of the Helchs-
tag flojk from all parts of Germany and the
galleries of the Reichstag on Thursday w re
packed with people. The budget committee
rejected 13,000,000 marks of next year's naval
demands upon the ground of unfavorable
condition of the finances.

TO RESTRICT EMIGRATION.
The emigration bill now before the
Reichstag contains paragraphs evidently
aimed at emigration to the United States.
The government In an accompanying memo
randum deplores the fact that large numbers
of people annually go to the United States ,
"when ) they become wholly lost to the po
litical and economic Interests of Germany , "
and incidentally speak favorably of emigra
tion to Mexico and South America. In the
colonial year book Just published Herr IlcsBf
a high government official and a leading
member of the colonial society , proposes
legislation to prohibit German subjects from
ever giving up their political allegiance.
Derliri is already crowded with strangers ,
who have come here to view the three days'
celebration of the centenary fetes. The
main event will bo the unveiling of the
great national monument erected to the
memory of William I on the Schlofsfrehrt ,
directly opposite the royal castle at Berlin.
The unveiling ceremonies will take place
during the forenoon ot the 22d , the pro
gram having been drawn up under the psr-
sonal supervision of the emperor , in the
evening there will bo a gala performance
at the opera house , -dramatic legend by
Wllderbruch , entitled "William the German , "
Music specially composed by Hummel will
be played for the first time. In all the
city institutions banquets will bo served
gratis and a special memorial celebration
will bo held and a banquet terved at the
city hall.
Jointly with the citizens' committee , the
municipal council has made arrangements for
a large procession on the 23d. The whole
procession will be about three miles In
l ° ngth , and at regular Intervals there will
bo floats on wheels representing scenes from
the life of the late emperor , The emperor
will review tlio whole proccralon from the
foot of the unveiled monument. Among the
specially Invited guests In the city on this
occasion are 100 Knights ot the Iron Cross
of the first claca from all over Germany ,
MANY OELEI1HATIONS.
On the evening of the 23d a torchlight pro-
ccttslcm will bo formed by the students of
all the academic schools aud universities of
Ocrlln , and they will parade before the em
peror past the , castle , Tbcro will be special
celebrations also In Munich , In Dresden ,
Stuttgart , Darmstadt anJ other places. In
Hamburg the veterans will be banqueted on
the 23d by the senate , and In LubecU the
foundation stone of the William I monument
will bo laid. In Kopnlgiburg the municipal
council has appropriated 100,000 marks as a
VT'llllam I fund , out of which a home for
convalescents is to be founded. The people
of Berlin , however , arc deeply aggrieved at
the fact that the town is placarded with
glaring red police posters shutting oft a dis
trict of two square miles around the slto of
the monument from all tralllc , foot or ve
hicular. These unpopular cdlctv are directly
traced to the emperor's orders , Tulrty-eevcn
princes and other royalties from outside and
thirty from Berlin will be prcrent at Man ?

General Count von Caprlvl will bo absent
on the plea of Ill-health.

LONDON , March 20. A letter to the Dally
Mall reiterates the story of Emperor Wil
liam's Insanity with startling frankness ,
mentioning his majesty as being the sovereign
eign previously referred to as pinching his
guests and trying to trip them up with his
sword. The writer says the fact Is that
there Is now no doubt that the emperor , if
not specially Insane , Is subject to fits of
aberration , which , while they last , are In
distinguishable from madness. Ills local
derangement behind the ear and almost In
contact with the brain , has hitherto been
kept In safe limits by a treatment which
provokes a constant dlschaige. Whllo the
discharge lasts the pain Is not very great
and the Inflammation and swelling of the
affected parts being relieved , there Is noth
ing intolerable. But it lias been lately be
coming difficult to perform the process , and
there is a combination of painful excita
bility , depression and restlessness which has
brought the emperor to an alarming condi
tion.
Continuing , the writer says that no
Hohcnzollern is allowed to ascend the
throne or keep It who Is allllcted with an
Incurable disease , and that it Is obvious
no madness can be tolerated In the em
peror. The knowledge of this Increasing
disability , threatening the rule of the em
peror , doubtless Intensely aggravates the
symptoms of his disease. It Is said that
should things get but little worse Prince
Henry of Prussia , the emperor's brother , will
bo proclaimed regent with an advisory
council.

LONDON , March 20. The celebration of
the quccn'o diamond Jubilee rivals the east
ern crisis In public attention. The prepara
tions for the event arc going on everywhere
In the city and the queen's proccbslon will
bo rehearsed early during the morning of
Tuesday next. Sir Julian Goldsmith's house
on Piccadilly has been let for $10,000 for
the day of the celebration proper , June 20 ,
and single windows along the route to bo
followed by the- procession are fetching $250.
The insurance companies are Insuring sight
seers against loss , owing to the abandon
ment of the procession or a change of route.
Landlords are giving tenants of houses on
the poorer portions of the route notice to
quit in order to get big prices for windows ,
and the newspapers are publishing a spe
cial column of advertisements of windows
to let along the route. Finally , the fashions
of 1S37 , the year ot the queen's accession to
the throne , are being revived.
At a meeting of the Parncllito members
of Parliament on Thursday last It was de
cided to request John Redmond to call a
conference of representative Parncliitcs from
all parts of Ireland to meet In Dublin during
Raster week for the purpose of roiislilurlng
the position and prospects of the party. This
step was rendered necessary by thn recent
attitude of Timothy Harrington and It Is
Intended to make vigorous efforts , both In
Iielund and America , to strengthen the
porty.
The lord mayor of Dublin has Issued In
vitations to a meeting at the Mansion house ,
there to float a Parnoll family fund. Al
ready a considerable sum has been collected
for tlio project and It Is expected It will
meet great success. It is learned that not
only Mr. Parncll's mother , Mrs. Delia 1'ar-
nell , but his brother , John Parnell , are In
pecuniary want , and but for the prompt
action of Mr. Hcdmond and othcru they
would liavo lost the family cHtato in Wick-

LINCOLN , March 20. ( Special Telegram. ) .
The disclosures made by The Bee with.
reference to the missing sinking fund war
rant for $200,000 , which cx-Trcasurcr Hart
ley has failed to turn over , have created con
siderable comment. People hero cannot un
derstand how a warrant for such a largo
sum of money the largest that was over
drawn upon the state treasury could be ,
taken and not accounted for upon the books ,
ot cither the auditor or the state treasurer.
It turns out that the system of checking :
the treasurer employed during the Hartley
rcglmo was practically valueless , and that
no check whatever has been kept upon the.
money passing through his hands. The of
fice seems to have been run even looser than
was theofllco of the city treasurer at Omaha
when Defaulter Henry Bolln was the In
cumbent.
So far as can bo learned the only check
which the auditor has kept upon the treas
urer cou&lsts In verifying vouchers and war
rants after they have come In for payment.
The warrants for money appropriated by the.
legislature are drawn In the auditor's office ,
where the stubs of the warrant books are-
retained. The warrants are taken to tho.
treasurer's office , where they are registered
and stamped with the statement that there-
Is no money there to redeem them. When
they are called In , after having been out at
Interest for from eighteen lo twenty months , .
they are examined by the clerks ot the audi
tor's office to make sure that they correspond ;
with the stubs lu his custody.
The treasurer also inaKds a statement once *
u month of the amount of money In the dif
ferent funds at the beginning of each month ,
the amount of money received for each , the-
amount of money paid out of each and the
balance on hand In cah. The treasurer
makes no statement to the auditor of tho-
amount of money on deposit In the different
depository banks or the amount of cash la
"tho drawer , 5hdtli0-amounl which ho state * .
0.3 cash on hand is' never verified by reference
to the deposit books or cash drawer. When
the treasurer makes his biennial report ho-
Includes a statement showing the amount of
current funds on hand and their distribu
tion In the depository banks at the rjoso of
the bicnnlum , but even then there is no
way by which the auditor can verify the.
statement of the trcasurjr. '
As to the t-chool funds , there never haa
been any accounting whatever of the money
In the possession of the treasurer. The state
treasurer reports that there 'Is tn much money
in the "school fund , the receipts since the
last report and the payments out pf the
fund. With such a system In vogue it 4a
not surprising that the treasurer could make
away with almost all tliL money In his pos
session without leaving any record behind
him that could bo used as tangible evldcnco
of embezzlement.
The new treasurer has not been In office-
long enough to have passed moro than two
monthly statement ? , but so far as Is known
no change nas been made In the system and.
the auditor has not been called In to check ,
up the money on hand , It Is expected that
the legislative committee which Is to bo
appointed to Investigate the conduct of the
different stuto offices will take up this mat
ter and recommend a thorough revision of
the system of auditing and controlling the
receipt and expenditure of state monoy.

LINCOLN. March 20. ( Special. ) The
house of representatives thin afternoon by a
strict party vote declined to adopt a resolu
tion providing for a public ) recount of the
ballots on the constitutional amendment In
the counties of Hall , York , Wayne and Keya
Paha. Early In the forenoon session Pol
lard , republican of CUES , called the atten
tion of the house to the fact that P. 0. Hed-
lund , one of the members of the recount
commission , had made serious charges af
fecting the Integrity of the work ot the com-
ml&alon In a number of eonntlea. He ex
plained that Hedlund'H charges wote either
true or false , and that the house had the
proof of cither alternative In lt posscuslou ,
If the charges were false a recount of the
ballots f I oni the cbuntloa Indicated by Hed-
lund would easily { establish the fact.
The debate continued until the noon hour
and was not concluded until after 3 o'clock
this afternoon. The' populists , with the ex
ception of Sheldon of Dawtu und SoJerman
of Pliclps , voted against the resolution , The
Pollard resolution was n follows :
