CANEA, CreTe, March 2—A complete | ruptyre between .the beys and Mussul- man__inhabitants here has been caused | cult of access, owing to the mountainous country. The conference between the Consuls and admirals was held to-day, at which the decision was reached to send officers to Selino and Hilapetra to rescue the be- leaguered Meslems. It was also decided | to place Selino and Kandamo under the protection of the powers. ATHENS, GrEekce, March 2—The Greek Vice-Consul at Canea reports that the Mussulmans there are threatening to pro- claim the union of Crete with Greece and to murder the beys because of the ob- stacles which the latter have placed in the way of their efforts to induce the Greek Consul to save the women and children. The foreign Consuls have demanded that warships be sent from Suda Bay to Selino at once. Advices received here from Canea say that the foreign admirals demanded that the Greek warships leave Cretan waters within twenty-four hours. To this de- mand Commodore Reinick, commanding the Greek warships, replied thatr he would only obey the orders of his own Govern- ment. If his ship were sunk, he declared, she would saiute the foreign flags as she | went down. The Government is informed that the garrison of the fown of Kandamos, on the | island of Crete, has be'n captured by the insurgents. 1t comprised 1200 Turkish soldiers. At the conclusion of his speech in the Chamber of Deputies denouncing the bom- bardment of Cretan Christians by foreign warships, Premier Delyannis asked for a vote of confidence, which was carried— 25 to 2. e UGLY QUESTIONS ASKED, Some English Statesmen Not in Accord With Satisbury. LONDON, ExG., March 2.—In the House of Commons to-day George N. Curzon, the Under Foreign Secretdry, read telegrams received from the British Consul at Canea saying that the Mussulmans in the island of Crete had declared that they would not consent 1o & union oi Crete with Greece, and placed high hopes in the action of the great powers to prevent it. The admiral commanding the British warships in Cretan waters, Curzon said, wired that the flags which are hoisted at Selino, Kandamo and Ekritons show that those towns are under the protection of the powers. The Moslems at tuose places, however, are in great danger of beinz massacred. The dispatch added that a report was in circu- lation that Ch ians were exterminating Moslems wherever they went. Sir William Harcourt raised a debate on the statement made by Lord Salisbury in the House of Lordson February 25 declar- ing the policy which the Government i tended to pursue in rezard to Crete, in- volving the autonomy of that island and the withdrawal of the Turkish and Greek naval and military forces, and threatening to impose force in the event of the refusal of Greece or Turkey to withdraw their farces when requested to do so. He began by asking whetber the powers had as- sented to the proposals, and Power, pur- | suin: the subject, inquired how far it was believed that the autonomy of the isiand would rid the island of Turkish!rule,which was the cause of the present evil. Curzon suid that the powers would not allow Crete to be taken out of their hands, as the arrival of the Greek forces upon the island had excited the Christians and in- furiated the Moslems. In the House of Lords to-day the Earl ) of Kimberly raised a debate upon the sub- ject of Lord Salisbury’s statement of Feb- ruary 25 by asking questions similar to those asked by Sir William Harcourt in the House of Commons, adding that in his opinion it would have been wiser to have joined Crete with Greece than to bave given the island an autonomous ad- ministration. After remarks on the subject by other Peers the House ad journed. | _QUEEN OLGA OF GREECE. Queen Olga is the most popular Queen in all Europe, and after her plucky act the other day indefying the Russian throne there is not a native of Hellas who would not die for her. Queen Olga is a Russian Princessand was an honorary admiral in the Russian feef. She has just returned herinsignia to St. Petersburg, with the remark that she cannot hold rank in a fleet that has fired upon the Greeks.

Their Promise of Preparing to Substantiate the Bribery Story Is a Bluff. So the Investigating Committee Grants a Continuance Until Thurs. day Afternoon. SACRAMENTO, Car,, March 2.—When the Assembly committee met this after- noon it found that the Examiner was not yet ready to substantiate the charge of bribery made by it against members of the Assembly who had voted to pass Cami- netti’s bill (No. 273). Garrett McEnerney appeared as its counsel and asked for a continnance until next Thursday. “Blinker” Murphy stated the alleged reasons why the continuance was desired by the managing editor of the paper. It was in the nature of a biuff, for that is the only way in which a fake can be sup- ported, and Mr. Murphy played the bluff with a steadiness of nerve and a gravity of countenance that would do credit to a star actor. Murphy said that the manager of the paper had wired him last night to the effect that he coald not attend before Thursday, because he was at present en- gaged in gathering “further evidence.” 1t appeared, although Murphy did not say so, that the libel was printed before the evidence necessary to substantiate it had been gathered—a familiar habit of papers of the class of the Examiuer, which print everything before examining any- thing. It is necessary, of course, that “Mr. Green” shoulil have some evidence in the shape of a hole to crawl out of, and if he cannot find it 1n San Francisco, he will be obliged to have it forged in some literary blacksmith-shop somewhere else. It was stated by Murphy that Mr. Lev- ings, one of the Examiner’s legislative staff, had shaken the rich loam of Sacra- mento off his feet, and had gone to San Francisca to consult Long Green as to what is best to be done in the present emergency. Mr. McEnerney remarked that he un-| derstood that the munaging editor was the head and front of the whole affair, and that he had not had an opportunity of ad- vising with his client, the defendant. Mr. McEnerney stated that there would be no fur:her applications for a continuance on the part of the defénse. The committee accordingly adjourned until 2 p. M. on Thursday. Among the Assemblymen who voted to concur in the Senate amendment to the title of Caminetti’s No. 273 is Price of So- noria. Price explained to a CALL reporter to-day that his vote did not imply that he was in favor of the passage of the bill. It had already been passed and he merely voted to amend the title. On the final passage he did not vote at all, although preseat, so that it appears strangely enongh that bedid not take aay interest in the bill either in favor of or aeainst it. The following is the rolicall on final passage: Ayes—Aldridge, Allen, Arnerich, Aus- tin, Boone, Breiling, Bridgford, Burnham, Caminet’i, Canavan, Chynoweth, Cutter, Damon.

SACRAMENTO, Car., March 2.—Long Green Lawrence will grill next Thursday by the committees of the Senate and the Assembly, and will be given the opportunity of describing in de- tail to the members thereof how fake stories are manufactured in the inner sanctum of a *‘aew” journal, though it is feared that he will balk at confessing to the motives that inspire them. Subpenas were issued to-day by the Sen- ate Bribery Investigating Committee 10 be served on Managing Faker Lawrence of the Examiner, the representatives of that journal at the Capitol and the managers respectively of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The sub- penas read as follows: You are hereby directed and commanded to be and appear before the Senate committee appointed by resolution of the Senate of the State of California on Mouday, the 1st day of March. 1897, and which committee was ap- pointed and directed to investigate nto the charges made by the San Francisco Examiner in_ its issue of February 27, 1897, re- garding the bribery of members of the Senate in relation to Astembly bill 273, on Thur-day, the 4th day of March, 1897, at 4 o'clock P. ing, at Sacramento, for the purpose of giving testimony in the matter of the investigation above referred to, and concerning, reiating to 2nd effecting the contents of tnat ceriain article printed and published on _the 27th day of Febraary. 1897, in the San Francisco Daily Examiner, a aai y newspaper printed and pub- lished in ‘the City and County of San Fran. ciseo, State of California, and which said article was, and iy headed, “Bribery in Aid of Tnievery.” And vou are aso di- rected and required to bring and have with you at said time and place, and to present to ihe said committee any and all written or paper or papers, or data, or memo- r telegraphic dispatch-or’dispatches received by you, or in your possession, or un- der your control, bearing upon the subject | matier contained in said newspaper article. Witness mv hand, as chairman of said_com- mittee, at Sacramento, this 24 day of March, 1897, J. H. DICKINSON, Chairman, This document 18 known as a subpena duces tecum and requires not only the presence of the witness, but commands him, at the risk of being in contempt, to bring with him every document, book and paper that has any bearing on the issue to be beard. The managers of the telegraph companies will be asked to produce all telegrams sent to or by the Examiner re- lating to the bribery charges made by that paper, and this evidence, it is anticipated, will disclose some very unexpectod de- velopments. ‘While the faking journal still assumes to believe that this investigation is for the purpose of probing for the bribed and bribers it is well understood that its out- come will be to expose the brazen and shameless 1m£osxtion practiced on the public by the Examiner in publishing un- jounded and indiscriminate charges of bribery and corruption a:ainst the mem- bers of both branches of the Legislature. e Budd Vetoes Boyee's Bill. SAGRAMENTO, CaL, March 2.—Gov- ernor Budd recorded his fourth veto to- day. The bill that failed to meet with his approval is Senate bill 28, introduced by Senator Boyce, which provided for the be placed o.. the | , in room 16 of the Capitol build- | Senate this afternoon passed the Assem- bly bill exempting applicants from the payment of fees to County Clerks upon applications for pensions, The following Assembiy bills were passed as heretofore amended: Permit- ting mortgaging of private libraries, liv- ery-stable equipments and other personal property; for the protection of stockhold- ers in mining companies, authorizing County Judgesto execute trusts in regard to lands granted to unincorporated towns.

Withington then offered an amendment striking out the word “‘automatic,”’ stating that an agent who appeared before the committee stated that there was only one system of automatic temperature regula- tion, the patents on whicn were controlled by the company represented by the agent. This amendment was also lost and the bill passed by a vote of 21 to 19. The bill providing for the appointment of an aunditing board to the Commissioner of Pubiic Works and appropriating $300,000 for the improvement of the Sacramento River was taken up and debated by Aram and Langford.

The bill for the appointmeént of an auditing board to the Commussioner of Public Works aad appropriating $300,000 for the improvement of the Sacramento River occupied the greater part of the evening in the Senate. Laneford’s motion to appoint a special committee to amend so that the bill would not apply to the Sacramento River alone was lost by a vote of 13 to 25. Pedlar then proposed an amendment striking out the appropriation section, making it read $100,000 for the improve- ment of the Sacramento River and $50,000 | for the improvement of the San Joaguin River, between Hills Ferry and Fire- baughs. This was also defeased. ‘Withington, Gillette, Jones, Pedlar and Smith spoke agaimnst the bill. Smith was the most vigorous in his denunciation of | the bili as s scheme to reclaim swamp land properties uf capitalists. Simpson, Aram, Gieaves, Doty and Prisk supported the bill.

Henderson, an old resident, dropped dead an Employe. Confilential Bookkeeper Rue Placed Under Ariest for Embezzlement. Said to Have Stolen Thousands to Defray His Expenses as a Leader in Society. SACRAMENTO, CarL, March 2.—J. O. Rue,who for the past three years has held the position of confidential bookkeeper for the Earl Fruit Company in this city, has been arrested on a charge of embezzle- ment, preferred by George B. Katzen- stein, manager. The sums of which he has defrauded the company have prob- ably amounted to thousands of dollars; in fact, it is claimed that he has admitted having taken $3000. At the present time it is impossible to ascertain the full amount of his peculations. It Is claimed that the company pos- sessed proofs of Rue’s embezzlements for some time, but has refrained from taking steps toward his punishment, because of his high connections and on account of his family. He is related, it issaid, to the McDonalds of San Francisco. But within the past weeks Rue has been an active agent in promulgating a company known as the Blue Canycn Water Company. and as many of the most intimate friends of the manacer of the Earl Fruit Company were induced to invest heavily in the stock of the concern, Rue to have the management of these funds, it was deemed advisabie to piace him under arrest. Rue during bis residence in this city has been respected by all of his associates. His being a “‘jolly good fellow’’ led to his downfall. The fact that he had been guilty of em- bezzling the funds of the company in order to hold his social position was discovered, it is claimed, through certain claims made by private shippers against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, through the agency of the Earl Fruit Company, for damages sustained to fruit en route to marke'. Tnese persons made ademand on the Earl Fruit Company for their money, having previously ascertained that the claims had been liquidated by the Southern Pacific Company, and investiga- tions brought to light the fact that Rue had used the funds to his personal benefit. The arrest of Rue was kept secret, and the news of his disgrace will be a shock to his acquaintances in Sacramento, OREGON’S LEGISLATIVE FARCE. Sergeants-at-Arms Sent to Summon Mem- bers Are Placed Under Arrest. PORTLAND, Or., March 2.—Berzeants- at-Arms Irving and Sturgll, who are 1 this city attempting to compel members of the House to attend the Legislature at Salem, are under arrest, charged with as- sault and battery, preferred by Represent- ative Jennings. This is declared to be an- other move by Senator Mitchell’s friends and the Southern Pac fic lobby to prevent the election of a Senator. SALEM, Or., March 2.—The vavis tem- porary House,which has been meeting reg- ularly from day to day since the Benson House adjourned, but without a quorum t0 organize permanently, decided yester- day on taking a determined stand in order to bring tbe runaways to time and force their attendance. Chief Justice Moore appeared in the House and swore all the Davis faction in. Then they passed a resolution authorizing their Speaker to appoint seven assistant sergeants-at-arms to bring in by force, if necessary, all the Benson-Mitchell men who had gone home. They started off on their mission yesterday afiernoon. Warrants were is- sued for a few only, as it is supposed enotgh would come 1n to make up the necessary quorum when they see the stand that bas been taken. If they or- ganize they will pass an appropriation bill and remedial legislation, and may also elect a United States Senator, but it will not be Mitchell. The House was called to order at 3:30 o’clock by Speaker Davis., There were present twenty-eight. Reports brought to the House showed that recalcitrant mem- bers refused to obey the demands of the sergeants-at-arms and will fight them. A resolution was passed authorizing the Speaker to appoint additional sergeants- at-arms—an army if necessary. The House adjourned unul to-morrow, when war will actually begin. oS () IN JAIL AT SELNA. . and Mrs. Myers, Who Abandoned Their Baby, Unable to Supply Bonds. FRESNO, CaL., March 2—A. H. Myers ana wife, who were arrestea last night, were taken to Selma to-day and arraigned on a charge of having abandoned their in- fant child on the doorstep of Rev. J. Baugh’s residence in that town about two weeks ago. Justice Tucker placed them under $2000 bail each pending the pre- liminary examination. The prisoners have as yet been unable to supply bonds. Because of the vopularity of Mr. and Mrs. Myers and their hitherto good repu- tation, their arrest has caused much dis- cussion. Mr. Myers has teen an engineer on the Southern Pacific Railroad in this valley for many years and is widely known. The two attending physicians and the nurse will testify that Mrs. Myers gave birth to a child aboui three months ago and has not had the babe since the time the attempt was made to dispose of it. The purpose of Mr, and Mrs. Myers in trying to get rid of their child was to avoid the disgrace resulting from a post- poned marriage. Thev were wedded oniy a few months ago. Fresno is the end of the railroad division and Mvers bad been making his home here. In the hope ot saving themselves from disvrace he and his wife went to Selma, fifteen miles south of here, to live temporarily, as no one knew them therz, The prisoners are in & very awkward position and the authorities are deter- mined t0 prosecute them for their foolish- ness.
