Nime Revolts Caused by Tyranny Frustrated by the Inter- Turkish vention of a Foreign Power. From the New York Sun. - A Greek maii steamer plies weekly be- tween Piraeus, the seaport of Athens, and the Island of Crete, and travelers who miss it, and who do not care to wait a week longer, usually take passage on one of the many small Greek freighters. These freighiers touch first at the Island of Syra, the ancient Hermopolis and the residence of the governor of Cyclades Islands. After a day in port there they proceed to Crete, touching at the Islands of Naxos, Paros and Siphnos, the whole trip lasting three and one-half days. ‘ Hmrbor of Cane: The harbor of Canea, the destination of the vessels, is protected by a well-preserved fortress, one side of which extends down to the edge of the water. The eastern side of the fort is about 1,500 feet long, the southern side 2,400, and the western side 1,800. These walls are protected by four ‘amparts, two of which face the valley and the other two the sea, and the whole is sur- rounded by a deep and wide ditch. The northern side of the city is built down to the harbor, which {is partly protected by a chain of rocks hardly visible above water. Upon these rocks is a wall 1,130 feet long, in the middle of which is a strong rampart. At the eastern end of this wall is a tower with a lighthouse, the light being visible twelve miles away. At the western end there is a fortress with a few old-fashioned guns. Although the harbor of Canea Is larger than that of Candia or Retimo, it is very shallow and can accommodate only small vessels. Large ships usually anchor in the bay of Souda, which ts divided into upper and lower bays. The harbor of Souda is, strictly defined, the upper bay, being five miles long and one mile and three-quarters wide, with a depth of 450 feet. On a small island at the entrance of the harbor is a fortress with twelve Krupp guns. On the southern shore of the harbor is the Mediterranean navy yard of Turkey. It is in this harbor that most of the European men-of-war sent to Crete find safe and comfortable anchorage. The city of Canea, being the seat of the governor general, has clean streets, fine houses and some public buildings of con- siderable pretensions, such as the govern- or’s headquarters and the court house, both of which are of modern construction. The military hospital, two armories and the health office also are fine structures. The population of the city is estimated at 14,610, of whom 4,750 are Greeks and 9,500 Turks, 160 Israelites and 200 Roman Catholics. Nearly every European government is rep- resented by either a consul or a consular agent. Most of these representatives live in the small town of Halepa,-about half an hour’s walk from Canea. Halepa became quite famous on account of the well-known treaty of 1878 that was signed there by the Cretan plenipotentiaries and the sultan’s envoys. On lofty ground, covered with olive. pomegranate and al- mond trees, commanding an excellent view of Halepa and the country around it, there stands the famous Ottoman Tower of Hale- pa, built by the Janizaries. It is well forti- fied, and has been a refuge for Turkish familles in revolutionary times. The Turkish quarters of Canea are around the Spanzia square. It was under a plane tree that the members of the Turkish com- mittee usually met to discuss matters with the Turkish authorities during the last revolution. It was impossible for a Chris- tian to pass through the square without being attacked by the Mussulmans. It is here also that the Mahommedan families gather in the evening for recreation; they sit on wooden benches and listen to the music of the Arab musicians of Canea. Greek Generally Spoken. Until a few years ago the population of the Island of Crete was a matter of conjec- ture. The most trustworthy census on the island was taken In 1881, by. order of Gov. Photiades, and is regarded by competent authorities, both Christian and Mohamme- dan, as fairly honest. It gaye a total popu- lation of 279,165. Of these 205,010 were or- thodox Greeks, 234 Mokammedans, 25:3 Roman Catholics, § Armenians, 647 Israel- ites and 13 Protestants. Nearly all the tn- habftants speak Greek. Even the Monam- medan priests and teachers use the Greek language in explaining the Koran or the Turkish lessons to thelr pupils. Besides Canea there are two other cities of scme importance in Crete, namely, Can- dia, inhabited by 13,000 Turks and 6,000 Greeks, and Retimo, with a population of »321 Turks and 1,820 Greeks. Both cities lie on the northern shore of the island, and they are only a short distance apart. Not far from Retimo is a range of hills, known as the White mountains, with ex- tensive table land at each end, which are places of refuge during revolutions for the Christian families. The mountains are cov- ered with pine, chestnut and cedar trees, and abound n springs of excellent water. On the southern coast of Crete there are few settlements of any importance. The only noteworthy spot is the harbor of Fair Havens, mentioned in the Acts of the Apos- ues, chapter 27, verse 8, in which the vessel carryirg St. Paul to Malta found refu Vessels today usually seek refuge in the same port in bad weather. There are but a few small houses at Fair Havens, and these are occupied by Turkish officials sta- ticned there to report to the Aga of Deaki, the chief village of this district, the passing of vessels. These officials have little to do. On the east side of the bay there are the ruins of an old Greek chapel dedicated to St. Paul; legend has it that the chapel was built on the spot on which the apostle stood when he preached to the natives of Crete. An Agreeable Climate. No island has a healthier or more agree- able climate than has Crete. In the hottest dayr of summer refreshing sea breezes are seldom lacking, and winter, which begins in December, ends about the latter part of January. The rainy season often continues until late in April, but it very seldom rains in the summer. A chain of mountains divides the island into what are called the northern and scuthern slopes. Qne-third of the island censists of rocky slopes; another third has a fairly good soil, which remains unculti- vated for want of farm hands; and the other third is cultivated only rudely for the same reason. The cultivation of fruit .re- mains as {t was centuries ago. The want of progress is owing to the repeated acts of injustice committed against the Christian farmers by the Turkish tax gatherers. Olives and their ofl are the staple products of Crete. Valleys from one end of ‘the island to the other are covered with olive trees, Next to the olive industry comes that of the vines producing many Varieties of grapes, raisins and wine. - Orchards of orange, lemon, citron and almond trees abound in the valleys, while chestnut and fig trees are found at the base of the moun- tains. A pecullarity of all Cretan products is their exquisite flavor, which they retain long after they are gathered and shipped. It is the opinion of the oldest and best in- formed Cretan merchants that, with pri facilities for transportation of productg to the seaports, and a guarantee against mis- rulg and arbitrary taxation, Crete cauid provide all Europe with oil and fruits: of several kinds. Revolts Caused by Turkish Tyranny. Like Cuba, Crete has always found her curse in the beauties with which nature has endowed her. Since the island was left by the Venetians to the Turks in 1715 no fewer than nine revolutions have taken place among its people. Each time the revolt was precipitated by Turkish tyranny. The most remarkable feature of all these revolu- ns is that in no instance have the Cre- tans been forced by defeat to lay down their arms. Their disarming has been due always to the intervention of some “friend- ly power” which wished to give an oppor- tunity to the Turkish government to in- troduce reforms. Whoever has lived in Turkey has his opinion as to the good faith of Turkey in promising reforms, es- pecially when they are exacted by the threat of the demolition of the Ottoman dynasty in Europe. But for “friendly” foreign intervention Crete wovld have secured her independ- ence long ago. Russian diplomacy has frustrated the hopes and aspirations of the Cretans in last year’s revolution, and, de- spite the role she is now playing with the other European powers, as if to force the sultan to carry out the long-promised. re- forms among the Christians in his domin- ions, she 's the one country directing the cultan’s policy in the east. There is not a Cretan of any prominence on the island who has the least faith in the professions of the porte as to carrying out any reforms. Crete’s Grand Old Man. At present there is nc man more trusted by the Cretans than the Grand Old Man of Crete, old Costa Veloudakes, the perma- nent president of the revolutionary assem- bly, and a scion of one of the oldest fam- ilies of the island. He has just celebrated his ninety-fifth birthday. He has taken in every revolution on the island dur- is his time. In the eight-year revolution of 1821 he was at the head of a strong Cretan force, having distinguished himself by liberating sixty-eight Cretan women held in bondage in a Turkish fortress. He 1s a man of few words, but whenever he Lee his utterances carry great weight. is courage is proverbial. At the battle of the fountains in 1866 he was fighting beside his two sons when a bullet killed one of them. Without flinching he gave orders to carry the dead from the battle- field; he continued fighting until the enemy were repulsed. In 1878 he was proclaimed commander-in-chief of all the revolution- ary forces on the island, and was sub- sequently selected with two other Cretans to proceed to the German capital, during the drawing of the Bee treaty, to lay before the representatives of the powers the claims of the Cretans. To give evidence of the low esteem in which Turkish promises are -held by the Cretans it is necessary only to quote the remarks recently made by one of the most conservative members of the Cretan revo- lutionary committee. “Turkish firmans,” he said, “granting re- forms remind me of the story of the school- boy caught in mischief by his teacher, and ther resorting to all sorts of excuses and promises of better conduct so as to escape punishment. So it is with the sultan and his firmans granting privileges-to the Chris- tlans of Crete; you may always look for them whenever some high-handed rascality has been committed by his people and the foreign governments look sternly at him. It is needless to say that the excitement once over you need not look for the ful- fillment of his promises.” Public opinion among the Cretans is adverse to the acceptance of any reforms. The prevailing opinion at the meetings of the Cretans is that they should fight until the union of Crete with Greece is accom- plished. —_—_ <4 PROTECTION ASSURED. Decision of a United States Court of Interest to Housekeepers. The actton. of. the United States circuit court of appeals in reversing the decision of the circuit court of the northern dis- trict of New York in the case of the N. K. Fairbank Company vs. the R. W. Bell Manufacturing Company, for infringing by imitation on their “Gold Dust” washing powder package, not only assures the N. K. Fairbank Company of protection, but also the housekeepers of the land. Here- after they will not be annoyed with the spurious article sailing under the colors of “Gold Dust’ washing powder. Judge Lacombe in handing down his de- cision sounded a warning to imitators in tersely stated facts which have equal in- terest for the housekeepers, manufacturers and business men generally. He said: “The judge who heard the e in the cireuit court was strong in the conviction that there was not a similarity calculated to decetve any buyer of ordinary prudence; that there was no danger of imposition by any similarity between the packages. We are unable to reach the same conclusion. * * * When it is borne in mind that arti- cles of this kind, when once they are gen- erally known, become agsociated in the public mind with the general appearance of the package which contains them, it is quite conceivable that a dishonest retail dealer who kept complainant’s and de- fendant’s packages mingled together on the same shelves, might easily palm off the one for the other upon an unsuspecting purchaser. “Business men of ordirery acuteness who wish to establish a distinctive reputation for their goods with: the general public, certainly do not begin by assimilating the elements of their design to those of some one competing msnufacturer. When they are found doing this it must be assumed that for some reason or other they prefer to have their goods arrayed not in a dis- tinetive dress, but in one resembling their competitor’s.” And when it appears that such competitor has expended upwards of $800,000 in. advertising his packages, that reason is not hard to find. “We have then the case of a manufac- turer who is careful always to sell its goods as its own, but who puts them up in a style of package so similar to that used by one of its competitors, earlier in the market, that unscrupulous dealers who purchase from the manufacturer in order to sell at retail to consumers are enabled to delude a large number of such retail purchasers by palm- ing off upon them the goods of the manu- facturer as those of its competitor. That this is unfair competition seems apparent, both on reason and authority.” Since “Gold Dust” washing powder has held its own in every market as the best cleansing compound made for all purposes, there has been the necessity for the N. K. Fairbank Company to protect themselves and their patrons from numerous fraudu- lent imitations, and though fmitation is the tribute paid to success, in this case the housekeepers would be the sufferers if the tribute were not disdained. The Fairbank “Darky Twins” on the “Gold Dust” pack- age are ae familiar to the average house- wife as the face of the family clock. —o The Zoological Park. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: It 1s almost beyond belief, but neverthe- less a fact, that there are a number of ccengressmen (chiefly from the south and west) who are opposed to the existence of the National Zoological Park, an institution founded for the preservation of American. wild animals from extinction. These con- gressmen fought against the establish- ment of this institution and ever since its establishment have conspired in every pos- sible way to prevent it from carrying out the purpose for which it was founded. In the first place, they prevented a sufficient appropriation being made to properly start the Zoo; since then they have allowed only the most meager appropriations to be made for its support—merely enough to feed ani care for the small collection of animals, and have even endeavored to bring about an auction sale of the animals. But a de- vice which absolutely prevents the growth of this institution is the clause which they have inserted in the appropriation posi- tively prohibiting the purchase of any wild animals whatever, although as before sta- ted the park was founded for the preserva- tion of the wild animals native to this country, it does not contain at the present tizne a single specimen of the moose, caribou, big-hocn sheep, Rocky mountain goat or prong-horn antelope, and the small herd of bison contains only one cow. Meanwhile these animals are rapidly becoming extinct, and unless specimens are obtained immediately it will soon be impossible to procure them. It is 40 be hoped that the Senate will have the patrotism at this session to eliminate the clause prohibiting the purchase of wild an- imals, and insist on a sufficent appropria- tion to carry out the purpose for which the Natfonal Zoological Park was counted: se J. EBL rd in of the Distriubtion. The Pair Point Manufacturing Company of Masachusetts and other alleged credi- tors of the firm of J. W. Boteler & Sons filed. s bill in equity Saturday against Lewis C. Denham, assignee of the local firm, praying for an accounting and dis- tribution of the assets. The complainants say that they agreed to accept a 25 per cent settlerent, provided all other credi- tors so agreed. The other creditors did not so agree, it is claimed, and it is also alleged that some received as much as 66 cents on the dollar. The complainants protest against svch alleged unequal dis- tribution, and assert that their claims have not been properly placed before the audi- tor of the court. Con: Take No Substitute. Gail Borden Eaglé Brand TURKISH REPRESENTATIVE AR- Consul General at Boston Charged With Embezzlement. 5 Joseph A. Iasigi, the; Turkish consul gen- eral at Boston, was arrested Saturday at the Albemarle Hotel“in New York on a telegraphic request from Boston. He was araigned yesterday ‘ing before Magis- trate Cornell. Polic&‘'Inspector J. J. Col- Ins of Boston presengeg the warrant charg-' ing Iasigi with the embezzlement of $8,000 from Peter Charles Wéerieux, and he asked that the prisoner be remanded until today to allow the complainant, Gen. Francis Pea- body, jr., to arrive.< James Richards of @oudert Bros.,. who appeared for the prisoner, asked to have him discharged on fhe ground that the complainant was not present. This was re- fused and then Mr, Richards claimed ex- emption from arrest and imprisonment on the ground that his client fs a foreign con- sul. To this Magistrate CorneH replied that he could not take cognizance of that plea, inasmuch as it was a question for the court which issued the warrant to settle. Bail was fixed at’ $10,000, the magistrate saying that he understood that $250,000 was involved in the case, and the prisoner was remanded to police headquarters for safe keeping until he could secure bail. Mr. Richards said for his client that he had no intention of leaving the country to avoid arrest. He was merely in New York on. business concerning the securities be- longing to the Lesrieux estate, of which Mr. Iasigi is the trustee. “He was in our office ‘Saturday morning,” sald Mr. Richards, “and when he -went away stated that he was about to return to Boston.” The arrest caused a tremendous sensa- tion at Boston, especially. in the society where he and kis wife were prominent. The criminal proceedings were instituted Friday, after the counsel for the Lesrieux heirs, for whom .Jasigi was trustee, and from whose funds. it is claimed he has embezzled, had endeavored to obtain an , from Iasigi in the civil courts. Gen. Francis Peabody, who is acting as counsel for the Lesrieux heirs who resid> in France, says:. “The arrest was caused because Iasigi failed to produce about $250,000-worth of securities which he. held. I_have positive and convincing proof in support of the charge of embezzlement of these securities.’” The Lesricux fortune amounted.to about $300,000 or $400,000 when, in 1849, the tes- tator died. Joseph. Tasigi, the Armenian father of Jos. A.,, who amassed an $800,000 fortune in the oriental trade in’ Boston, was made trustee of the estate. When the eldest Iasigi died, Oscar, his son, suc- ceeded to the trusteeship, as well as to the consul generalship of Turkey. Oscar was drowned eight years ago and Jos. A. succeeded him. versthing went well until since last April, at which time, it Is said, Tasigi ceased to remit the in- come.. A.demand for an accounting and an exhibition of the securities failing to receive a satisfactory response, the ar- rest followed. At midnight Mr. Iasigi was locked up, he having failed to secure a bondsman. See PITTSBURG PAPER BURNED OUT. Fire Sweeps the. Office of the Post, Causing Loss of §60.000. The office of the Pittsburg Post was al- most destroyed by fire yesterday morning, causing a loss to the paper of about $60,900, well insured. ‘The only other tenant in-the building was Gleason,* a railroad ticket broker, whose lossi was small. The Com- mercial Gazette, ndxt cor to the Post,-was in imminent danges, but good work by the firemen saved that plant, the only damage being caused by watey which flooded the cellar.
