A decree announcing; the union of Crete with Greece was published here this evening. Events leading; up to the climax followed each other throughout the day with dramatic rapidity. The town was bedecked, and early In the morning people began flocking In from all directions. There was much firing of guns and revolvers, with plenty of cheering, but perfect order prevailed. Mussulmans mingled with the Aus trian! freely and unmolested. Tnlle With Tree Greece. At I o'clock In the afternoon the demonstrations In favor of the union with Greece occurred on the military review grounds. More than a hundred thousand people, one of the largest crowds ever seen here, gathered at this place. Al the prominent revolutionary leaders, each with his banner flying, appeared and they were supported by the heads of the different political parties, the mayors of the towns, the clergy and other Influential men in the council of the island. fSpeeches were made by various rep resentatives, who declared that the peaceful political revolution which they had assembled to consummate was not directed against the power, which had been the island's benefactors, but solely at proclaiming the Island's union with the motherland. They called upon the' government to act henceforth In the nam of the free Kingdom of Greece. They urged the people as a duty to go respectfully and announce their de cision to the representatives of the pow ers, then they must call together an assembly to conrtrm the people's de cision by an official vote. French yaul Down Flag Again. Ten thousand men thereupon marched, singing and shouting, to the various con sulates, leaving at each of them a writ ten copy of the resolutions adopted. They then surged to the governor's palace and lowered the flag of Crete, raising the Greek flag In Its place. The flags on all the public buildings were similarly replaced by the flag of Greece. With Incessant and wild cheering for the un ion the great procession made Its way to the fortress, where a Greek flag also wss sent up to the top of a flagpole, but the French troops Insisted upon the lowering of It and unfurled the flag of Crete and those of the four protecting powers. This angered the populace and for a time there was dnnger of dis turbances, but ths leaders finally suc ceeded In restoring quiet. Council Joins With People. A special Issue of the Government Jour nal was distributed at S o'clock this evening, containing the decree signed by Ave councillors, who announce their com pliance with the people's decision and di rect all officials henceforth to conduct the business of the country In the name of the Hellenlo government. Thousands of people from outlying dis trict, most of them srmed. are still pouring Into the town, filling the streets and cheering the union.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 1. The Coun cil of Minister has decided to protest against the annexation of the provinces of Bosnia and Herxegovina by Austria Hungary. Protest will be made through the Austrian Embassy here. In an interview today. Tewflk Pasha, president of the Council of State and Minister of Foreign Affaire, declared that the government already had protested against Bulgaria's declaration of Inde pendence, and had proposed to ths signa tories of the Trcatr of Berlin the calling of a conference. This Turkey considered to be the best course for the protection of her Interests. The Minister added that Great Britain. France and Russia disap proved of the conduct of Bulgaria. In r-e-tilv to a question, te said that Turkey desired peace In the Interest of Internal reform, and he counseled cairn ana meat aron. The reports of Turkish military prepa rations sre denied here, and It Is said ths government Is merly completing the deficiencies In various army corps. Fol lowing out thia programme, new guns and ammunition are being sent to Adri- anople and Salonika. RUSSIA WANTS COMPENSATION Only Condition of Conference Brit ain Protector of Turkey. PAR 13. Oct. 7. Obstacles in the way of assembling the powers in an interna tional conXerence to discuss the Balkan situation are piling up. Great Britain's ideas in this direction clash strongly with those of Russia. M. Iswolsky, the Rusr sian Minister of Foreign Affairs, this afternoon made public an Interview in which he declares the treaty of Berlin was directed against Russia, and ne serves notice that, if there is to be a re v talon of this treaty, which Russia fa vors, his government will demand com pensation. Great Britain, on the contrary. Is as suming the role of protector of the In tegrity of Turkey and the status quo. She opposes a general revision of the treaty, which would amount virtually to a scramble, of the powers tor compensa tion at the expense of Turkey. Instead of opening the entire question of the Balkans Great Britain wants Turkey to have compensation for any losses she sustained. It was intimated In Paris that Great Britain was already try ing to arrange for the re-purchase of Eastern Rumella. Diplomats here see In the attitude of Great Britain a masterly stroke to dis place Germany In the councils of a re generated Turkey. It is anticipated that neither. Austria Hungary, Bulgaria nor Greece would enter the conference without the recoj nltion of "falts accomplis." SHOOT FIREBUGS ON SIGHT MAYOR JOHNS, OF BAKER, AU THORIZES ACTION.

Republican boss of Philadel phia, was shot to death last night at bis country home near Glen Kiddle, Pa, as the climax of a quarrel with his wife, in which his wife's sister, Mrs. Katherlne Beisel, had interfered. Mrs. Belsel at first admitted that she killed Erb, but later repudiated the confeslson. Then District Attorney Mc Dade ordered the arrest of Mrs. Erb. Mrs. Belsel, who Is In Jail, said today that she shot Erb because she believed he Intended to kill ber. Thinking it was only a question who struck first, she declares she aimed the revolver at her brother-in-law and lired. Six shots were fired at Erb, four entering his body and two striking the wall.

Stars of Opera at the Heilig Theater. BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIK. PORTLAND surely turned Into a bit of sunny Italy last night It was at the Heilig Theater, when these four operatic stars twinkled and charmed a society audience that crowded the house. Into enthusiastic appreciation: Madame Marie Rappold, soprano: Madame Josephine Jacoby. contralto; Riccardo Martin, tenor, and Giuseppe Campanari, baritone, from the Metropolitan Opera-House, ivew York City, the acompanlst being Ar thur Rosensteln. The Immortal muslo left by Verdi In his "Rigoletto" and "II Trovatore held us captive, it was good 'to hear It again. The concert opened the new season of high-class musical events, under the auspices of Impressari Lois Steers Wynn Coman. and the latter are to be congratulated on the success achieved. Never did a Portland audience go home better satisfied. Indeed, so much pleased was everybody that the encore habit was incessant Of course the artists pleased and they deserved a hearty reception, but If this continuous encore habit Is not tempered with more discretion who knows but that Eastern singers will begin to say to each other before beginning their Western tour: "There's a city In the West called Portland. It's the encore city. People want the worth of their money there, all right:" English was little used at the con cert, but remembering the words of the great master who said "Music has no language it is sound and soul." those of us who are not exactly Italian linguists were able to appreciate the musical treat The programme which the artists sang was different. In spots, from the one In the hands of the audience. Instead of "The Barber of Seville" music, we were treated to a monologue from "Andrea Chenier," by Glorderro: Instead of the soprano solo. "Chanson Provencale." by Del Aequo, we heard an aria from Bizet's "Carmen": and instead of the Thomas gavotte from "Mignon." there was sub stituted an aria from Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete." But It was well. All the singers are Americans except Campanari. who was born In Vienna, but he Insisted behind the scenes last night: "My home? Put It down Brook lyn. No; change that Say Hoboken." Copyright Ijol J VV Hart Schifther It Marx GKAND 0 PEN You're Invited Tomorrow, Friday, October 9, 1908 A great day for us We shall have the grand opening of our new and handsome store. It's now the best equipped and lighted store in Port land and we are going to make it the BEST store you ever stepped into. It's furnished throughout and complete with the very latest things in store fixtures, including the 20th century dust-proof cloth ing cabinets. Mesdames Rappold and Jacoby are na tives of New York. I did not have a talk with Slgnor Martin, but know that he is an American. The "dean" of the company and about whom most Interest centers Is un doubtedly Campanari. who has .long been hailed as a favorite concert and operatic baritone. A cruel rumor pre ceded him that he had shaved his fa mous mustache, but it Isn't so. That mustache was present last night and it aulvered in the music from "Carmen as of yore. Campanari is about the best going in high-class baritone, not so much for the immense volume of his voice, but for Its splendid quality and expression. When he finished the monologue from "Andrea Chanier" and for an encore began the celebrated "Toreador"' song from "Carmen," I wondered how many hundred times he has sung it But it took like wild fire, and he finished amid thunders of pplause. Madame Rappold has a fine, lyrlo so prano voice trained to a nicety, and she has a most Interesting habit when sub duing her voice. In a closing phrase, tb sink the tone to a tiny murmur, pro ceeding as from a brook. She has a dig nified, matronly appearance, and skill fully uses her upper register. Her en core was Del' Acqua's "Chanson Prov encale." Mme. Jacoby has a dashing appearance, and is of the Carmen type dark hair, plump in figure, vivacious In manner, and with pink m ner nair and corsage, and dazzling In a span gled gown. Her voice Is a luscious one, with full tone, and lots of it. Af ter the aria from "Le Prophete," she sang for the encore the "Habenera," from "Carmen," and for the double en core a "Birthday Song" by Cowen, the latter being exquisitely sung in Eng lish. Signor Martin is an heroic tenor of satisfactory volume, tone and clar ity. He Is blessed with a good phy sique, and that helps In tone volume. His voice doesn't seem very high set but he takes a powerful high B-flat above the staff. He is one of the best tenors heard here for well, some time. After the flower song from "Carmen," his encore was "La donne a Mobile," by Verdi. The trio from "FauBt." a well-worn number, "caught" the audience, and it had to be repeated. But the triumph time came In singing the music of the last act from "II Trovatore." In the Miserere" duet, Madame Rappold sang In view of the audience and Martin was behind the scenes. The effect was thrilling, but would have been more so had the tenor not hung to his last note too long, as if he wasn't anxious to let It go. A better effect was heard in the duet "Home to Our Mountains," between the tenor and coatralto. The audience fell In love with "II Trova tore" so much so that it was with dif ficulty they would part with the sing ers. Mr. Rosensteln Is a very tapabla accompanist. The auartet next sings In r-uuman. Wash.; Walla Walla, Spokane, Seattle. Tacoma. Salt Lake. Utah; Denver, Colo.: Chicago, and then New York for the opening of the operatic season there.
