A number of tetach of infantry, artillery and engineers have embarked at the Pirsus for Crete. Their departure was attended with great enthusiasm. It is understood that the orders of the troops are to protect ths Christian fami- sin Crete and to restore order. Thisis looked upon as tantamount to the occu- pation of the island.

Tne in- tense excitement which has prevailed here recently Las not at all abated. George Berovitch Pasha, the Christian Governor of Crete, who having been men- aced by the Moslems, recently took refuge at the Greek Consulate, and the Greek Consul embarked this evening on differ- ent warships. They were accompanied by their families. The Consuls and com- mauder of the Turkish forces have re- moved to the military post. The insur- gents continue their bombardment from inside of the foriress, and the Turks are returning their fire, with sanguinary results. The troops who are already styled the “corps of occupation” reached Milo to- day. A regiment of artillery has been or- dered to start at once for the Thessalonian frontier. This regiment will be accom- panied by Prince Nicholas, King George's third son. LONDON, Exa., Feb., 14.—The Stand- ard to-morrow will publisha Constantino- ple dispatch saying that the impression prevails in diplomatic circies there that the opposition to the Greek national senti- ment will endanger the Greek throne. Mr. Gladstone to-day telegraphed to the aily Chronicle the following message: *I do not dare to stimulaje Greece when I cannot help her, but I shall profoundly . -rejoice at her success. 1 hope the powers will recollect that they have some charac- ter to redeem.” The Daily Telegraph will publish to- morrow a dispatch from St. Pelersburg saying that the military division of Odessa will concentrate 5000 Uossacks, with a view to being in readiness to meet anyemer- * gency tbatmay arise. ° MALTA, Feb. 14.—The three British gunboats sailed hence for Greece to-day. - WAR 1S iMMINENT. London Journals Concur Tha: There Will Be a Grreo-Turicish Conflict. LONDON, Exc., Feb. 15.—The London papers this morning concur in the opinion that a Greco-Turkish war is imminent. The Liberal organs implore the Govern- ment not to impede the action of Greece ir any way, while the more moderate journals urge the powers to_occupy Crete and to decide the ultimate destiny of the " island when matters shall have become more quiet. The Standard declares that the powers must pacify Crete, since they have decided to restrain Greece and Turkey. The Times publishes a dispatch from Canea saying that George Beroviten Pasha, the Christian Governor of Crete, ook refuge on the fiagship of the Russian dmira! and that the entire force of Mon- tenegrin gendarmes which have hitherto been employed in guarding the Governor’s residence have been transferred to the | Greek Shots From a Warship Cause a| | fere: | and go to Cuba. Now Russian warships. The Russian and French admirals, the dispatch says, have received identical instructions, but the nature of their orders is not known. The diplomats at Constantinople have accepted Great Britain’s proposals for a jont naval occupation of Canea, Retimo and Heraklion, the removal from Cretan waters of the Greek flret and the forbid- dance of the dispatch to Crete of Turkish reinforcements, and it is thought proba- ble that the orders of the French ana Russian admirsls are in accordance with | the programme. The refugees who sought shelter at the Greek Consulate have been placed under the protection of the British Consul. The Consul at Heraklion embarked upon one of the warships after requesting the British Consul to protect the Greek subjects there. The closing of the Greek consulates indicates that a definite rup- has taken place between Greece and The Times will print a dispatch from Canea to-morrow saying it believes that Berovitch Fasha left bia post without per- mission. The Times also prints a dispatch dated Canea, February 14, midnighi, saying that a ‘lurkish troopship has just put to sea and that a Greek warship has started in pursuit of her. CANEA, CreTE, Feb, 14.—The resigna- tion of the Unristian Governor of Crete, George Berovitch Pasha, has been ac- cepted and the ex-Governor started for Trieste this evening. -— CONCERT OF THE POWERS. They Will Decide to Prevent Greeee From Ocenpuing Crete. BERLIN, GErMANY, Feb. 14.—The last conference beiween the powers concern- ing the new complications which have arisen in recard to Crete point to.an im- mediate concert of action to restore order in Crete and restrain Greece from further pursuing the course she has taken, which, if persisted in, must inevitably result in hostilities between the kingdom of the Hellenes and the Turkish Empire, whica, it is believed, without the uitimate inter- of the powers, could have but one | outcome, the defeat and humiliation of the former. As the situation appears now it is proba- ble that foreign occupation will be decided upon, which has lately caused an increase in the gendarmerie on the island and the co-operation of the foreign fleets con- trolling the ports. Among the numerous communications bearing directly upon the Cretan situation which have passed during the last week is aletter from the King of Greece to the Emperor of Kussis, in which the King ex- | piains to the Czar that the action of Greece in sending a flotilla to Crete was a | demonstration necessary to the preserva- tion of iuternal order. The King states that he is no longer willing to trust to the powers for justice in respect to the de- mands of Greece in Crete. Though the situation has created a feeling of alarm in some quarters, those entertained in official | circles throughout the continent that Euro- pean peace wiil be maintained aro becom- ing strong through the belief that what- ever fighting may occur will be localized and finally die out as the result of its con- finemeut to small limits, - LOCAL GRECIANS READY. 4dnxious to Fight for King George if War Is Declared. The Greeks of San Francisco are deter- mined to stand by the mother countr in the event of & war with Turkey. All of them have more or less money, and every man who Dails from the home of Socrates is willing to spend his last cent in defense of the home country. A meeting was held on the water front yesterday and considerzbie money was subscribed toward the relief of the suffer- ersin Crete. The names of the commit- tee, with M. D. Vamvaies as president, have already been published in THE CALL, and all sympathizers with the cause of Greece shouid communicate with them. Before the trouble arose in Crete the Greeks of San Frarcisco and British Co- lumbia were anxious to form a company the company is formed, and on the first note of warthe members will sail for Europe ana an- nounce to King George that they are will- ing and ready to strike a blow for the fatheriand. We are the walls of Sparts,” said a Greek, with flashing eve, yesterday. “Every man ie a brick, and every brick wili bave to be demolished before the Turks zain their way in this matter.” BACK TO THE FATAL SCENE. Although M. Navok Was Separated From Justice by the Ocean He Returned and Was Arrested for Murder. WICHITA, Kaxs., Feb. 14.—After being for years a fugitive irom his native coun- try, whence he fied to escape military duty, M. Navok, a Bohemian, finally s ti*d 1n northern Oklahoma. His cousin, likewise a fugitive, lived near him and about four years ago the two quarreled over a woman whom both of them loved. Nuvok stabbed his cousin to death and hid the body in a well. His neighbors grew suspicious and the officers began to in- vestigate the disappearance of his rela- tive. Navok sought safety in fliznt before the body of his murdered relative was found, and did not stop untit he had put the ocean between himseif and the scene of his crime. He returned under an as- sumed name to his native country, but Government spies recognized him and he was again forced to flee to escape punish- meut for desertion from the army. Drawn, as he declares, by an _irresistible impulse he retarned to Oklahoma, and no sooner had he arrived there than he was arrestea for his cousin’s murder. The woman for whose love his cousin was murdered had, in the meantime, married another. Navok is a fine-appearing, well-educated man and has money. He seems like one dazed and it is believed by many that he has become insane. His bold return created a sensation in the community. ———— ANNIE BESAMNT COMING.

Recent Decision of the National Assembly Means Two Sepa- rate Bodies. Delegates We'ch and Kerrigun of C:lifornia Can See No O: Course Open. CHICAGO, IvL., Feb. 15.—A special to the Tribune from New York says: There | will be a division of the racing interests of America inso two separate bodies within the next three months. Tkisdivision will be the result of adverse decisions of the National Assembly of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen on the Sunday racing local option question. California sent on three able delepates from her northern portion to bring about favorable action on her request, which was made without a threat of what might happen. Two of these aelegates—Robert Welch, racing board, and Frank Kerrigan, one of San Francisco’s judges, chief counsel of | the North California division and presi- dent of the Bav City Wheelmen of that city—were seen in New York to-night and | gave out the following interview: “We do not see how a division of the League of American Wheeimen racing in- terests can well be avoided, now that the | question of Bunday racing has been so disastrously seftled for the coming season by the assembly. We cannot see that there is any possible way in which that action can be annuiled, and the fact of the | matter is that we do not advise the tracks of Northern California or the West to stay in the league. Our fight was made to the best of our ability and lost because the members of the assembly thought more of what veople might say than of the rights in the matter. “We lost the fight through the failure of Mr. Potter to keep his promise to turn over to us forty-five of the votes of New York State in return for the seven votes of our division, the Louisiana vote and that of Oregon and Washington. We car- ried out our compact and New York did not keep its promise by a lone way. We voted for Keenan who wason the Elliott ticket, for first vice-president, in the ex- change for that State’s vote on the ques- tion that interested us, and there we got thrown down. “Now it is a case that lies with the track-owners of the great West, and we think that they will at once make prep- arations to go out of the league. Nothing will be done in & hurry in the matter. the California member of the | | Our country’s great need is Sunday sport, and other portionsof the West are like | situated in this matter.

The | National Assembly will, we are sure, at | the next meeting adopt the measure for | the success of which we were sent East and we will then regain our old places in the controlling body. “Meanwhile it will mean a separate body and that body will be well and ably man- aged, the rules being quite as strict in all respects and similar to the rules of ‘the L.

W., except that prize limits may be | raised and the principal part of the rac- ing will be on Sunday.” Kerrigan and Welch left for the coast | to-day and say that they wilt do all they | can do consistently to prevent the ruption, | but they must go with the majority in this matter and the majority can take but the one step. | AccuseD OF EMBEZZLEMENT. | | Arrest of Ex-Congressman Darlington, the | President of a 'Pennsylvania Trust Company. WEST CHESTER, Pa., Feb. 14.—Ex- Congressman Smedley Darlington, prosi- | dent of the Chester County Guarantee | Trust and Bafe Deposit Company, was ar- | rested here yesterday at the instance of Mrs. Mary A. Burnett, a depositor of the institution. Mr. Darlington is charged with embezzlement in that he permitted $1300 of. Mrs. Burnett’s money to be re- ived on December 2last, knowing that the trust company Wwas in a state of in- solvency at the time. Mr. Darlington was | held in his own recognizance until exam- ination, which has been fixed for next Saturday. Receivers were yesterday ap- | puinted for the company. | ————— | GAMBLING KESOET BURNED. | | Citizens of Elmhurst, Near Chicago, Re- #ort to the Fircbrand. | CHICAGO, It Feb. 14— Elmhurst, a small town twenty-five miles west of here, burned to the ground this morning the large shed recently erected there by Barney Zacharias, the Chicago | ambler, and in which voolselling, faro | and roulette had been conducted for sev- eral days. Almost every day 400 or 500 gamblers from Chicago visited the resort. A few auys ago the residents raided the poolroom, but could find no evidence of gambling. Six men, however, supposed to be connected with the movement were arrested. During the night two watchmen were employed to guard the place. Early this morning a mob of indignant citizens attacked the building and, after driving the watchmen to the woods, set fire to the building. The gamblers they will re- open as_soon as another house can be built. The loss is small. shd e | Notice of a Leduction.

Was the Only Member of the Notorious Stratton Band At Liberty. Having Made His Way to Fresdom by Bribery He Continusd a Criminal Career. DENVER, Coro., Feb. 14.—The I member of the Stratton gang of robbers, the toughest and smoothest gang of crim- inals known in the West for many years, now lies in the Denver -City jail, betrayed to the officers by his brother. This rem- nant, Harry Davyis, is wanted in North Baltimore, Ohio, for the murder of Night Watchman Joseph Baker on the 2lst of last June. Davis was not one of the original Strat- ton gang, but was admitted after the last breaking up of the outfit by the arrest and imprisonment of several members. His qualities of toughness and his expertness in all kinds of crime led Bob Curry and Doc Lee, two of the men who bad escaped incarceration for long periods, to pick him up. They were operating through Ohio, and one night tried to rob the postoffice at North Baltimore. They were discov- ered by Officer Baker and killed him in attempting to escape.-The three were taken to the Toledo (Ohio) jail, whence Lee and Curry were sent last De- cember to the Ohio penitentiary for life, but Davis had previously bribed two of the guards and was allowed to escape. He escaped on the morning of Novem- ber 11, and took a train out of that town for Cincinnati, where he was joined by his brother Gus, and the two went down through the Southern States, through Tenuessee, Alabama and into Texas, from where they crossed over into Mexico, then back int6 Arkansas and up into Colorado. The brothers arrived here last Monday and engaged a room on Arapahoe street, near Twentieth, and have lived there since. Yesterday aftarnoop Gus, who is a mere lad of 20, quarreled with Harry, and fear- ing violence at the hands of Harry, de- cided to betray him to the police and he was promptly placed under arrest. During the extended trip the brothers have made since the escape of Harry in November, Gus says he has been the un- willing accomplice of his brother in a number of crimes. The Ohio authorities have been notified of the capture and he will be returned to Toledo at an early day. The Stratton gang was one of the most desperate, bold and successful that ever existed, but every one is either behind the bars or dead. ‘“‘Sheeney” Armstrong is serving three years in Indianu; Prentice Tiller, seven years in Michigan; Tom Boalen, two vears in Canyon City, Colo.; Frank Bruce died in the Jefferson (Ind. ) prison; James K. Stratton is serving twenty-one years in Canyon City; Bob Curry and Doc Lee, life in Columbus, Ohio. AFTER THE MINGR PLACES. States That Do Not Get Representatives in the Cabinet Look for Smaller Crumbs. CANTON, Ornio, Feb. 14.—Sunday was literally a day of rest at the McKinley home. 1In the morning Major McKinley attended divine services at the First Pres- byterian Church, accompanied by Hon. Charles A. Chickering of Copenhagen, N. Y., and Congressman D. K. Watson of Columbus. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. McKin- ley drove about the city for an hour and a half. They also made their regular Sun- day visit with Mother McKinley. Mrs. McKinley, who has been indisposed, has recovered sufficiently to receive her inti- mate friends. Jerome Carty, a leading patent attor- ney of Philadelphia, is in the city to pre- sent the indorsements of Colonel John A. Wiedensheim, a candidate for the position of Commissioner of Patents. Colonel Weidensheim is indorsea by Senators Qu and Cameron and Senator-elect Pen- rose; by the Philadeiphia delegation to Congress, and by many prominent Re- publicans of the Keystone State. Mr. Carty is of the opinion that Weidensheim will receive the appointment if Pennsyl- vania does not secure a representative in the Cabinet, which at present does not ap- pear probable. It is probable taat Major McKinley will g0 to Cleveland during the present week, but the exact time of departure has not been decided upon. He will be in Cleve- land only a few days. e FAKEWELL 10 M AJuKE MoKINLEX. Canton Citizens Making Preparations Jor @ keception. CANTON, Onto, Feb. 12.—The people | of Cauton are vexinning preparations for a farewell reception to the President-elect to be held on Washingion’s birthday. While his neighbors will look after tne details the whole of the surrounding country will be included in the invita- tions, and it is expected several thousand persons will attend. What is bothering the major and the committee of arrang:ments most is to find a place large enough to hold the crowd. The reception might be held in the opera-house, but that belongs to the McKiunley estate and it would not be in good taste to hold it there. Tue Stark County courthouse is the only available building for the function, and it is proba- ble it will be given ther. — CHICAGU'S LATEST KOBBERZY. Four Avmed Men Kelieve the Customers of a Crowied Saloon: CHICAGO, Irr., Feb. 14.—Four robbers armed with revolvers entered J. Meyer's saloon at Fourteenth place and Newberry avenue last night and held up the place. The barroom was crowded with customers at the time and the robbers ordered, with drawn weapons, every one to line up in the rear of the saloon and hold up their hands. No one attempted to disobsy and while three of the men kept them covered with their pistols the fourth leisurely went through the pockets of each man in line, securing several watches and some money. He then took $15 from the cash register and the men were driven into a small room at the rear of the bar. After | fastening the door the robbers ran back into the street and escaped before the im- vrisoned victims could release them- selves. An Apparently Unfounded Rumor. CANTON, Onto, Feb. 14.—The call of Hon. D. K. Watson upon Major McKin- ley gives rise to the rumor that he aspires 1o fill the senatorial seat vacated by Mr. Sherman. The friends of Mr. Watson consider him an excellent compromise candidate. The Columbus Congressman declined to talk regarding the report and | the rumor is apparently unfounded. —— BOY AND SMALL 4 MATCH. Nearly Cause the Destruction of Alex- andria, Indtana.

President- elect McKinley is also believed to regard the reforms favorably. HAVANA, Cupa, Feb. 14.—The Diario de ia Marina euloxzizes ex-Governor John D. Long of Massachusetts, who has been named as Eecretary of the Navy in the Calinet of President-elect McKinley,.for the stand he bas taken in favor of Spain in her war ageainst the Cuban insurgents and against intervention by the United tates in tne Cuban troubles.

C., Feb. 14.—The Washineton Times, referring to the con- templated expedition of the Red Cross Society to Cuba, mentions the circum- siance of a sum of money received by the officials of that society being returned to the sender on account of the condition of its tender being coupled with the injunc- tion that no portion of it should be used for the reiief of Spaniards. Such a con- tribution is in no wise consistent with the | meanings and rules of the Red Cross So- ciety, which in its ministrations to the suffering makes no distinction whatever as to any creed or nationality, and dona- tions tendered to the society coupled with requests that they be only used in one di- rection cannot meet the philanthropic purposes of the organ ization. It will require ubout $25,000 to start the society’s expedition into Cuba, and, as it seems, but a small part of that amount has yet been subscribed.
