Bombarding the Creten City,
Christians in the City Have Hoisted
the Greek Colors.
Berlin, Feb. 9. 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.

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.

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. Chicago,
May wheat opened today at 761 and
closed at 77. Cash wheat 70. Liver
pool no change.
Eugene France, receiver of the J.M.
Weatherwax Lumber Company,Aber
deen Wash., reports that practically
all the liabilities of the firm have been
paid and that as soon as the demand
for lumber will warrant starting up,
he will do so. In the meantime the
foundation of the mill Is being looked
after, and Improvements! arc being
made to the mill proper.

Bunces Squadron Seyerly Shaken
B the Storm.
Charleston, S. C, Feb.9. Ad
miral . 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.

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.
The usual crowd assembled to see
Mitchell elected but- were doomed to
disappointment when tho following
