A special from Athens says: It is rumored here that foreign war ships have begun bombarding Canea, island of Crete. No confirmation can be obtained here. The German war ship Kaiserln Augustine has been or dered to proceed as soon as possible for the island of Crete. A dispatch from Canea received this evening says the Christians about Canea have hoisted the Greek flag proclaimed a union with that island with Greece and invited the king of Greece to take possession of it. In Possession. Athens, Feb. 9. The announce ment that Prince George, second son of the king of Greece, will command the torpedo fleet which is now In read iness to start for Crete to join the Greek squadron, has added strength to the rumors that Greece will insist upon a union with Crete. It is a well known fact that the Christians who are now in possession of the whole island, with the exception of Herak Uon and Betlmo, are only waiting a signal to proclaim a union with that country. The uprising in Crete is looked upon by many statesmen In this country as a movement on the part of the sultan of Turkey -to draw the attention of England, France and Russia away from Constantinople. Greece, whose quarrel with Turkey has been grow ing more serious from day today, has not hesitated to take advantage of the excesses of the Turkish soldiers on the island, -and Is sending all her naval forces there. Should the sultan regard this move as a challenge there would be presented complications which will quickly force the hand of the powers in dealing with the Turkish situation. These fresh and unanticipated diffi culties, the sultan Is no doubt aware, will put a strain upon the, harmony between the powers which only ex isted for a short time. The sultan, therefore, will naturally be only too glad to destroy the unity of purpose among the powers at the expense of a controversy with Greece. The Grecian squadron on arriving at Canea did not salute the Turkish -squadron. 6 LOSE All our heavy box-calf SHOES Advices say the Mussulmans are preparing for a massacre at Eetlmo. Representatives of some of the powers have expressed to the Greek government surprise that It sent war ships to Crete. Three thousand people took part yesterday evening in a manifestation Is front of the ministry of marine. There were continued cries of "Long live the union." It is thought pos sible that a ministerial crisis will re sult from the manifestations. All Tranquility. Canea, Island of Crete, Feb. 0. It is ofliclally announced that the fires have been totally quenched. Nearly 200 buildings were destroyed and 5000 Christians have fled. Of this number 2000 are on board British warships. Greek warships have taken off the re mainder of the Christian refugees. In conclusion, the report sajs tranquility reigned In the town and vicinity and the Turkish troops throughout be haved In an orderly manner. No ex cesses are reported on their part. It is asserted there has been no plunder ing. " Request Declined. Berlin, Feb. 9. The Frankfort Zeltung correspondent at Constanti nople telegraphs that Germany de clined the sultan's request to send ofllcersand financiers to reorganize their country as being Inopportune. France and Belgium, the dispatch adds, also declined. Captured. Rome, Feb. 9. A dispatch from Canea says Mussulmans at Hcraklion, Crete, have attacked the arsenal and carried off 2000 rifles. Reception to Prop. Heritage. Prof. R. A. Heritage, of the W. U. college of music, who has just returned from an extended yisit at Chatta nooga, Tenn., was given a reception last evening at the college of music.

I0NL i Hill Wants an Open Session Strong Opposition to Hill's Motioft oiiu u runtiUi 1 Washington. Feb. 9. The first question that arose In -the executive session of the senate was a motion by1 Hill that the arbitration treaty be discussed in open session. He said it was a matter in which the people were greatly interested. There was nothing in the treaty or Its discussion that demanded secrecy. Gray of Delaware, member of the committee on foreign relations, op posed a public discussion. He said' that on a matter dealing with foreign government the senators ought to bo free and unhampered in the express ion of their views, which could only be when the session was held behind closed doors. After considerable further debate a yea tnd nay vote was taken on Hill's motion for an open session, which re sulted against the motion by an over whelming majority. DECOMES A LAW. The senate, by a vote of 57 to 1 (the one being Caffery of Louisiana), passed over the president's veto the bill for a division of the Eastern judical dis trict of Te tas. The bill is now a law, having passed the house over the veto. no decision reached. The senate committee on Interstate commerce considered the bill to pre vent ticket brokerage. "Without com ing to a decision the committee ad journed until Wednesday, although the opinion was expressed It would be useless to report the bill because of the opposition, which would prevent the passage of any bill this session. The position of the railroads in the last campaign was the basis of some opposition. In addition to the al leged attempts by railroads to evade the interstate commerce law was urged, especially by Gorham, Chandler and Chilton. No vote was taken, but there was general acuqloscence in tho opinion that it would be best to allow the bill to go over until the next con gress, when, It was suggested, the evils complained of could be remedied by a general amendment to the interstate commerce law. Wheat. Talklngton, Bottger & Co's. report today says: It has been a rockey day for the talent. Tho high rollers and dead sure winners started in t sell the bot tom out of the market. They were encouraged by the weakest cables we have had for months, and by the re ported absence of any shipping or ex ports demand. "While it Is true that the exports yesterday were very dis couraging. It is also true that they are ruunlng on the average quite large, ana will compare favorably with any other seasons. More import ant than this is the fact that pri mary receipts are not half what they were a year ago, and out of these small reclepts and the visible must come a steady domestic demand of a million bushels a day and an export demand of nearly half as much. The visible Is only 2,500,000 bushels larger than last July. It will become evident that the constant and heavy drain on visible ' stocks must reduce them heavily before next harvest.

Bunco's blockading squadron made this port, afterastormy voyage, from Hampton Roads, losing three men from the Maine during the gale on Friday. The fleet Is now anchored at the jetties and shows nu sign of tho terrible weather experienced. Tho squadron weighed anchor In the Roads Thursday morning and put tn sea. Friday evening the weather thick ened, and by night It was blowing a gale. Tho Indiana returned to the Roads, owing to tho condition of her turrets. The rest of the fleet, now over, poked their noses Into the storm and headed South. When about fifty miles off Cape nattcras the fleet felt tho full force of the blow. The open squadron formation was maintained and the vessels were put in order for a siege of the weather. The battleship Maine washed her decks at eyery plunge. It was late on Friday afternoon when the accident occurred which cost three seamen their liyes. Three others were rescued only by prompt and heroic work. A gang of men were ordered forward to secure the lashings of the big guns. The deck was deluged and the wind was freshening every moment. The menwero at work at the lashings when an unusually heavy sea came over her bows and swept aft. Six of tho gang were picked up and carried overboard before thoy could escape the wave. When tho cry of "man overboard" was carried back there was a scene of momentary confusion, but In an Instant tho splendid disci pline of tho crew was apparent. Life buoys were cut loose and tho order was given to get a boat overboard. The high seas made this work one of peril and difficulty, but a boat's crew, under Naval Cadet Walter R. Ghlr- ardl, a son of Rear Admiral Ghlrardl, retired, was finally lowered. Meantime the drowning men fought bravely and three of them managed to keep afloat until their mates hauled them out of the water. The remain ing three men were not to be seen. The life boat cruised back and forth over tho sea, but the bravefellows had given up tho struggle and met a sail or's fate. Friday night tho fleet had heavy weather of It, but managed to keep within signaling distance of one an other. Towards morning the squad ron was hove to. The officers say it was one of the worst gales the fleet ever experienced. more injured. Admiral Bunco's blockade squadron reached port today after a dlsasrtous voyage from Hampton Roads. .Three men were lost overboard from tho battleship Maine during the gale of Friday, one man was crushed to death on the cruiser Marblehoad, another was fataily injured and six others were 60 fatally hurt that sev eral may lose limbs. Details of the accident on the Marblehead are not obtainable, and as she lies off the jetties she presents a dismantled ap pearance. Her forecastle Is stove In and a portion of her superstructure aud two hatches arc carried away. THE GREATEST COMBINE.

Or, MYSTERIOUS Something Has Dropped The Mitchellite Double Rump Suspends Action. Tho legislative atmosphere at the state house was highly impregnated "with political excitement today. Senator Mitchell arrived early and unattended on the field of battle. It came very near being a Water loo. But for a swift move of the Marlon county Napoleon the day had been lost. As The Journal fore castcd, thopresencoof tho two Demo crats Monday was for political effect, and they did not reappear today. , THE JOINT CONVENTION was short and sweet. It lasted about ten seconds. There was a delightful air of uncertainty as to the outcome and it never came off. The senate clerk called Bates twice. At this moment, in a highly tragic manner, the tall form of Senator Iky Patterson rushed up the center aisle and waved Its arm wildly and moved to adjourn one day. Brownell brought the hammer down and the joint convention was again declared off. REASONS SUGGESTED are numerous for tho hold-up of tho double rump. Tho Mitchell men were disposed to treat tho matter lightly but tho best nose-counters In the building agreed that only 37 were pre sent. Bllyeu and Leo wcro absent, but there was also a Mltchelllto ab sent, and tho result of the joint as sembly was NIT. Other reports are to the effect that four Mitchell Republicans went to Mitchell, last night, and told him they would quit unless his managers let up on their efforts to mako up tho needed 40 with Democrats and Popu lists when there aro Mitchell caucus Republicans who declare that for le gal and moral reasons they cannot enter the double-rump Joint. Tho report that Pennoyer Is coming to Mitchell's support and seeking to persuade Populists to join tho Mitch ell forces has no foundation but rumor and that may come from political enemies. Senator Pennoyer has so far expressed the kindest feelings for the opposition to Bcnsonlsm and Mltchellism. JOINT ROLL CALL MONDAY NIGHT.
