Germany Threatens to With- draw From the Proposed Flan of Ccercion. VERY GLOOMY IS THE OUTLCOK AT CANEA. There Is a Prospect of the City Soon Becoming Bockaded by Land as Well as Sea LONDON, Exc., March 22. —In the House of Commons to-day the Right | Hon. George N. Curzon, Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign Office, stated that Sir Aufred Biliotti, the British Con- sulat Canea, had reported to the Govern- ment the text of an intervisw bad on Fri- day last by the admirals of the warships 1n Cretan th the chiefs of the in- . The chiefs did not approve of heme of the powers to grant au- tonomy {o the island, and declared ttat tuing but annexation to Greece would them. LIN, GerMaxy, March 22—The Post, which is known as the mbassa- dor's organ,” says semi-officially to-day that it seems thalan agreement between the powers on the Cretan question can- not be reached. Itadasthatif Germany's efforts to maintain peace do not meet with the support of the other powers she will not further lend her disinterested services to that end. CANEA, Crer, March 22.—Tnf outlook in this and vicinity is not very re- assuring, The situation of the Turkish garrizon in the forts at Malaxa is very ical. The p'ace is besieged by insur- and the Tarkish troops have not ions to last them more than vs. Attempts have been made to revictual the forts, but the insurgents have rendered the efforts fruitless. If the Christians capture the forts at Malaxa | oratide, which it now appears highly probable they will do, Canea will virtually be blockaded landward. ATHENS, Greece, March -King George to-day had a long interview with | M. Onou, tha Russian Minister, aiter | which summoned Prime Minister | Deiyannis, to whom he gave a prolonged audience. The Government has ordered the enrollment of all robust citizens not otherwise liable to military service to form a militia force to guard the towns 1 the absence of the troops.

Greecs Evidentiy Anxious to Compromise | Hith the Pou LONDON, Exc., March —The Times to-morrow publish a long dispatch from Athens, the gist of which is that the Greek Government, realizing the gravity | of the situstion and not sharing in the war fever prevailing in the army and pop- ulace, is sincerely seeking a solution of the present troubles. i awaits with anxiety ihe effrots toward a compromise that are being made by the powers friendly to it and is doing everything in its power to check the troops and prevent an outbreak on the frontier. The Daily News wiil to-morrow publish a dispatch from Rome, the sender of which claims to bave received reliable in- formation that, although the powers are anxious to maintain their concert, they are unable to agree upon their future ac- tion. There are two courses of opinion flowing, one in Russia and Germany and | another in Great Britain and Italy, and these are d:ametrically opposea to each other. The dispatchadds that the Italian Goveornment has instructed Admiral Canevaro, who is in command of the com- bined fieets in Cretan waters, to make an inqniry into the bombardment by the | Turkish warships in the Suda Bay, and | empowering him in his discre.ivn to com- pel the Turxish warships to witharaw. The Standard wiil to-morrow publish a dgispatch from Canea stating that there hes been further looting by Mussulmans of property owned by absent Christians. The dispatch denies the alleged miscon- duct of Ottoman troops, whose behavior, it is claimed, has been excellent. ATHENS, Greece, March After his audience with the King, M. Delyanms summoned a meeting cf th: Cabinet. The council is supposed to have discussed the | naval preparations which Greece is making in the Gult of Arta, which are reporfed | to have produced uneasiness in St. Peters. burg. There is a scarcity of horses for army purposes, and the Government has issued 2 requisition for all the best horses her to be used by the troops. Many of tue| wealthy residents of the city and vicinity have turned all their horses over to the Government, glad of the opportunity thus furnished them of aiding in this way the cause of Greece. CANEA, Cxrete, March 22.—It is esti- matad that nearly half of all the Mussul- man inhabitants of the island have sought refuge here, Their number is so large that the space within the cordonis not sufficient for their needs, and in many cases they are herded like animals, Measures are being taken to extend the lines with the foteign detachmenton duty nere. In the present temper of the in- surgents near the city this is considered to be a hazardous experiment. e 5 b WOULD ASSAIL ALLIED TEOGPS.

A body of Turkish troops who were try- ing to convey provisions to the forts at Malaxa were held in check throughout the day by the Christian insurgents. The troops, finding that they could not reach the fort, signaled to the gunboats in Suda Bay, requesting aid. The gun- boats opened fire upon the insurgents, but could not drive them from the positions they occupied, which effeciually com- manded the approaches to the fort. So far as known the fire from the warships did no damage, The insurgent leaders reiterate their re- fasal to acceps autonomy from the pow- ers, and declare that if the island is not annexed to Greece they desire war. If it were not for the support afforded the Turks by the powers they would in a short time be driven from the island. Itls believed here that success has so intoxicated the leaders of the insurgents that they would 'not hesitats to assume actual hostilities against the troops of the powers. If they should join forces with the Greek army of occupation and resist the powers it would take a strong force and a large expenditure of money to con- DISAS TER DUE 10 & CYCLONE Continued from First Page.

C., March 22.—By a inion, deliverea by Justice Peckbam, the Supreme Court of the Unired States to-day announced its de- cision that the agreement in the Trans- Missouri Freight Association to maintain rates within its territory was in viola- the anti-trust law of 1890, prohibiting contracts cor combinations in restraint of trade, and must be aban- doned. This reverses the decidlon of the courts below, which ordered the dismissal of the Government’s bill. Justices Field, Gray, Shiras ana White dissented. Justice Peckham, in the important opinion rendered in the Supreme Court to-day in the Trans- Missouri Freight Assoclation cese, said the case presented two questions of importance: First—Does the anti-trnst act apply to and cover com- mon carriers by railwav? Second—If so, does the agreement complained of violate any provision of that act ? The court finally holds: “The question isone of law in regard to the meaning and effect of the agreement itself, namely: Does the agreement restrain trade or com- merce in any way s0 as to be a violation of the act? “We eno doubt that it does. The agreement on its face recites that it is en- tered into for the purpose of mutual pro- tection, and a violation subjects the de- | fauiting company to the payment of & | penalty. “While in force, and assuming it to be lived up to, there can be no doubt that its direct, immediate and necessary effect is to put a restraint upon trade or commerce | as described in the act. We think the fourth section of the actinvests the Gov- ernment with full power and authority to | bring_such an_action as this, and if the facts be proved an injunction should is- sue. o | “The decrees of the Court of A pveals of the Circuit Court must be reversed and | the case remanded.” | "The dissent of Justices Field, Gray, | Shires and White was announced by the latter. He said that the decision of the | court tollowed the letter of the iaw which | Killeth rather than the spirit which giveth | lite. cision was that there must be no trade. An attorney who has been connected | with the litization in its progress through the Supreme Court, speaking of the effect of the decision, said “It seutles that the Joint Traffic Asso- ciation of the Kastern trunk lines is illecal and that the decision of the Circuit Court of Avpeals in New York on Friday last sustaining the lawiulness of that com- bination was erroneous. “It will slso compel the dissolution of all similar combinations of rzitroads, | holding, in effect, as it does, that the | anti-pooling clause of the interstate corn- merce law is very much widened by the anti-trust act of 1890. It leaves the ques- tion of princivle open whether- manufac- t uring trusts can be reduced practically | under the anu-irust law SEE YUPS AT WASHINGTON. | Scene Frem “ The M.kado” as They Pre- sent Their Grievances to the Chinese Minister. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22.—There | was an interesting and quite dramatic | scene enacted at the Chinese legation to- | day when the party of Chinese merchants | from_San Francisco had an sudience with his Excellency, Yanz Yu, the Chinese Minister, and laid their grievances before him. The heathens were arrayed in their silk- | brocaded robes, and the Minister and his | suite .were dressed in their best to meet | the millionaire Chinese of the See Yup | Company. When the Minister and his | retinue entered the Chinese merchants | fell on their knees, and remained kneeling | before his Excellency during m of the | interview. It was as impressive as a scene from *“The Mikado.” Messrs. Campbell ana Keogh, counsel for the See Yups, were spared this humil- iation. They were not present at the in- | terview. The argument of the See Yups | was made by Chan Man Wan. At the | conclusion of his statement the Minister | announced his understanding of the | prorositions to be considered by him to | be as follows: A dissolution of the American corpora- ce Yups. ®payient to the Minister of a cortain amouxt of money lor expenses in conuection natter. ssal of the injunction granted by Judge McKenna against ihe Chinese Con- sul at San Francisco 10 prevent him from in- terfering with the affairs of the See Yups. | “Fourih—Declaring off - the boyeott by See | Yups against the Sam Yups.

DES MOINES, Iowa, March 22.—The | legisiative sensation over the allegations | that the building and loan lobby in- fluenced the election of Speaker Byers and secured the appointment of friendly committees in both houses was ended for the time being to-day by the report of the | investigating committee. The com mittee, after looking into the matter carefully, reported, completely exonerafing the Speaker and denouncing as a groundless folly the report which the lobby had sent ont that it had influencea the Speaker and members of the Legisiature. The report was adopted unanimously. Another com- mittee is stili investigating the use wade of the $3000 which the report of the lobby- ing committes shows was used in secur- ing legislative influence. This will be a longer investigation and some sensations are promised.

The Kaiser Unveils His Grand- father’s Monument With Much Pomp. Many Mishaps Among the Multitude of Spectators, but No Fatalities. BERLIN, GERMANY, celebration of the centenary of Em- veror William I, wbo was born March 22, 1797, which began to-day was observed throughout Germany- as a national holi- day. The duy opened dull and cloudy, threatening rain, but early in the forenoon the skies brightened and the remainder of the day was sunny. In the early hours of the day Berlin presented the aspect of Sunday. The stores were closed and the streets were filled with people in holiday attire. Everybody wasastir by daybreak, and by 8 o'clock crowds were hurrying to the best points of observation of the prin- cipal sights of the day. While the people were assembling eigh- teen regiments of the Berlin garrison, horse and foot, were marching from dif- ferent points to the rendezvous at the at the Branden burg gate. The programme, as outlined in yesterday’s dispatches of the United Associated Presses,was carried out without alteration. At 10:30 o’clock the Emperor on horse- back, wearing the uniform of a coionel of the Guard du Corps, with a black cairass on his breast glittering with insignia of various orders, left the castle, and at the head of the guards marched to the ola Kaiser Wilhelm Pulace, where the guards received the keys which were deposited | there yesterday. From the palace the guards, with the Emperor still at their head, marched to the Brandenburg gate in front of the troops of the garrisou, which were aligned from the Lustgarten to the Brandenburg ate. fiurdshehdag thie troops Atidimaralieditn the monument, where the troops were massed to the r.ght and left. Upon arriv- ing at the monument the Emperor saluted the Empress, Empress Frederick, the Pence Regeni of Bavaria, the Kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg and the Grand Dukes of Baden and Hesse, who were seated under a canopy in irout of the monument. Drums and bugles then sounded the signal for prayer, after which Chief Intea- dant Kaber delivered an oration. An- other prayer followed, when the Em- peror, in s.entorian voice, gave the troops the command, “Present arms!” ‘Then, turning toward the monument, where & number of marines with the unveiling cords 1n their hands were waiting the sig- nal, the Kaiser shouted: “Unveill Un- veii!” Down came the canvas coverings, and the colossal monument to old Kaiser Wil- liam I was disclosed. As the covers fell a salute of 100 zuns began, the b:lls through- out the city were rung, the bands played, and the vastcrowds everywhere assembled cheered tremendously for many minutes. After the unveiling the Emperor ad- Lvanced and saiuted the monument and was_followed by the Empress, Empress Frederick, the Prince It-gentof Bavaria, the King ‘of Saxony, the Grand Duke of Baden, the Grand Duke of Hesse, etc., in the order named, all of whom deposited wreaths at the foot of the morument. After this ceremony an evolution was per- formed by the troops. The Empresses, the sovereizns aund the Grand Dukss returned to the canopy. when the review ol the troops began, the Emperor standing at the foot of the monument. ‘The spectators were treatly amused in the course of the review at the spectacle of the young Princes, the Emperor's sons, trotting along in the rear of the foot guards. Tbe crowds in the vicinity of the nmonument were so great that a number of accidents occurred and a number of women and children fainted, but there were no fatalities.

S e G GHASTLY FIND AT MEA. One of the St. Nazaire’s Boats, Contain- ing Stm Corpses. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 22—The Oromwell line steamer Creole, Captain Gager, from New Orleans, arrived at her dock about 11 o’clock this morning, bring- ing additional news from the ill-fated St. Nazaire. Captain Gager raports that on March 21 he passed a boat full of water. Shortly afterward he determined to ascer- tain if possible what it was, and turned about for an investigation. On reaching the boat he found it contained six dead | bodies, one of them suppostd to be that |ofa woman. A hook was mado fast to the boat’s bow, and when she was pulled | up the bodies washed out into the sea. | They had spparently been held fast by | the seats of the boat, as they were crowded | under them. It was noted by the Creole’s | mate that two of the boat’s passengers | were colored. In the boat was found a woman’s slipper, a child’s sock, some ciothing, a nursing bottle and several bo! tles of fresh water, which was found to be in good condition. There was also found a small quantity of bread. Al Ssieimit AGAINST THE ARBUCKLES. Sugar Trust Takes a Trick From the Coffee Barons. TOLEDO, Oxio, March 22.—Judge Ha; ris to-day handed down his decision in the matter of the petition of the Arbuckle | Brothers of New York and Thomas Kuhn | of Cleveland for a receiver for the Wool- son Spice Company. The temporary or- der restraining the Woolson Company from makinz further reductions in the price of coffee was dissolved and the ap- plication for a receiver denied, but the de- fendants’ demurrer, alleging that the peti- tion did not show a sufficient cause for action, is overruled. This suit was really a fight between the Arbuckles, the coffes manufactures, and the sugar trust. The Arbuckles started a sugar refinery, and the sugar trust, in re- taliation, bought a control.ing interest in the Wooison Spice Company, waich dealt in coffee, and then began to slash the | brice of coffee. The Arbuckles succeeded in getting a small interest in the Woolson Company, and as_stockholders protested dgainst the sale of coffee at a loss and asked for the appointment of & receiver. s e ANOTHER ¢ EXAMINER” FAKE. Secretary Alger Denies a San Pedro Harbor Canard. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22.—A report was circulated at the Capitol to-day to the effect that Secretary of War.Alger had decided not to execute the act of Con- | gress appropriating money for the im- provements of San Pedro harbor until Congress took further action. It was said that Mr. Alger took the view that $3,000,- 000 was not_suflicient, and that $5,000.000 was needed. It {s understood, further- more, that & dispaich to this effect was printed in a San Francisco ‘vaper " thig Morning. THE CALL correspondent called on the Secretary of War this aiternoon at the department. ““Mr. Secretary,” he said, “‘a report was wired to the S8an Francisco Examiner last night stating that you would suspend, temporarily at least, the operation of the act of Congress appropriating money for San Pedro harvor.” But before THE CALL correspondent had | completed his sentence Secretary Alger said: *“There is no truth in the report.” ‘“Heve ycu anything more to say?” asked the correspondent. “No,” saia Mr. Alger smiling, “except you may say thatif there was anything in the report the Secretary of War would certanly know it.”” — e In France there is one student of medi- cine to every 7776 of its people. WAGING WAR ON LAND SWINDLERS Fresno’s Hundred " Thou- sand Club Is After Agent Griffith. Determined to Prot:ct Eastern People Against Fraud in California. Has Demanded an-Explanation of His Doirgs as a Colonization Schemer. FRESNO, Ca1, March 22.—The execu- tive committee of the Hundred Thousand Club met this evening ana decided to make as a special order for the meeting of the club on Thursday evening the investi- gation of the charges aginst 8. N. Griffith of swindling Eastern people 1n a land- selling scheme. “Fresno has suffered enough from these land swindlers,” said a member of the executive committee to a CALL corre- spondent to-night. *‘Several notorious schemes have been worked on Eastern people, and the result has been very in- jurious to this county. If there is any way to uo it, the Hundred-Thousand Club will put a stop to the swindling.” 1t appears that on his recent visit to Chicago Mr. Griffith used literature issued by the clubin advertising his own project. It is charged that he grossly misrepre- sented facts. Feeling over the alleged swindle is running high. The real estate agent will be invited to attend the meet- ing of the club and explain matters if he can. The six men whom he induced to come to Fresno from Chicago will also be there, and a lively time fs expected. S FRESNO'S MAXOK SUED, Saloonist Wants Pay for Liguor Con- sumod Four Years 4go.

With Rope and Pistol Two Men End the Struggle Against Adverss Fortune. FRESNO, CaL., March 22.—The body of George Ramsey, a vineyardist residin in Kutner Colony, about twelve miles east of this city, was found yesterday suspended by a rope from a rafter in the barn stand- ing near his place. It had been hanging there for two weeks. Ramsey was about 50 years of age. He lived with Curis Wolf, who says that his tellow-vineyardist had often spoken of suicide. Two we:ks ago Ramsey disap- peared and a search had been kept up ever since. No trace of him could be found, and no one thought of looking into the barn loit. The disappearance as- sumed a mysterious aspect, and there were suspicions of foul play. Wolf, under a promise he had given Ramsey, did not say aoything about his suicidal tenden- cies. The coroner’s jury was convinced that the case was one of suicide and rendered a verdict aceordingly. Ramsey was born in Iowa and had resided iu this county foz many years. Z This evening &8 man was found dead in a room in the Degen lodging-house in this city. A pistol lying at the side of the body tolu the tale. - All of its chambers were empty excepting one and the bullet from this bad been sent through his brain On his person was found a written s ment, signed “V. Wodder,” saying that “a terrible suicidal mani had possessed him for years. It was ‘‘irresistible and uncontrollable.” In the statement it was also directed that $32, which was found in an envelope, be used in delraying the burial expenses. In a valise were found letters directed to ‘‘Neil Blue, 529 Sacra- mento street, San Francisco,” from Dr. H. H. Kane of New York, it appearing that Blue had takon treatment from the doc- tor.
