that view, he said, would greatly pain the Pope, who felt the greatest confidence that Mgr.Merry Del Val would conciliate .the conflicting parties.THE AUTONOMY OF CRETE.The Daily will tc-morrow publish a despatch from Canea saying that it would be of the greatest advantage if the Powers would formally proclaim to the Cretans the fad that they had determined to establish an autonomous government lor the Island; Most of the inhabitants are not aware of the intention of the Powers.The few isolated chiefs of the insurgents who have learned that Turkish rule in the Island is to be brought to an end have declared their joyous acceptance of tho scheme of the Powers.The destitute Mussulman refugees here are on the verge of starvation.Bands of robbers are pillaging the towns and the adjoining country.QUEEN VICTORIA AT NICE, Nick, March 12\u2014Qaeeu Victoria and Princess Henry of Battenberg, with their suites, arrived here at 3 15 o'clock this afternoon.The Raid into the transvaal.London, March 12\u2014The examination of Sir Graham Bower, formerly Imperial Secretary at the Cape Colony, was resumed tr-day by the South African Committee in Westminster Hall.Witness testified that he had never told Cecil Rhodes to communicate his intention of assisting m the rising in the Transvaal to the High Commissiouer; He understood that Rhodes intended to do so; Rhodes, Sir Graham continued, had communicated his intentions to him as a personal friend, not as Imperial Secretary.He did not know if he had ever asked Rhodes whether he had-informed the High Commissioner of his plans.Mr.Labouchere, who is conducting the cross-examiuatioD, insisted on a reply from the witness to the questions.The High Commissioner, he said, had wired last evening denying that he had ever been told anything before the raid that showed any connection between the force that had gathered on the frontier and the citizens movement at Johannesburg.The witness persisted in the statement that he could not recall whether Rhodes had said to him that he had told the High Commissioner of his intention; At this point the Chairman interposed and ruled against Mr.Laboucheres continuing to press the point, whereupon Mr.Labouchere sai 1 he believed the witness was not telling the truth.Mr Chamberlain, speaking warmly, said :\u2014\u201cThe Committee must protect the witness from insult.\u201d Mr; Labouchere:\u2014\u201cI repeat that it is my opinion that the witness is not telling the truth.\u201d The Chairman :\u2014\u201cYou are out of order \u201d Mr.Labouchere :\u2014\u201cI shall move that the room be cleared on every opposed question if neeessary.I am going to see whether this inquiry is a sham or a reality.\u201d The Chair-n an :\u2014\u201cTnis is not the way to facilitate business.\u201d Mr.Labouchere :\u2014\u201cThe way to facilitate business is to let me ask questionr.\u201d Then, turning to the witness, Mr.Labouchere asked :\u2014\u201cDid Mr.Rhodes keep faith by informing the High Commissioner of his intentions in assisting in the raid ?\u201d The witness vouchsafed no reply to the question, whereupon Mr.Labouchere asked :\u2014\u201cDo you decline to speak in order to shield yourself ?\u201d Other members of the Committee interposed at this point, but Mr.Labouchere persisted iu demanding an answer to his question, and the witness finally said : \u2014\u201cIt is a matter of opinion whether Mr.Rhodes kept his word or not.I decline to say further.\u201d In reply to a question by Sir William Harcourt, the witnesa said he did not think that Mr.Rhodes had cc-operated with the High Commissiouer in such a way as could have averted the raid.THE POWERS AND GREECE.It is asserted here on excellent authority that the Powers are exchanging views in regard to presenting a fresh note to Greece, giving notice of their intention to resort to coercive measures to enforce their demands if Greece does not comply at once and also to maintain a blockade of Greek pirts France, it is understood, is the only Power showing any reluctance to tako part in blockade, and if she refuses to participate the blockade will be uudei taken without her.FRANCE WILL MAINTAIN PEACE.Paris, March 12-In the Senate tc-day, M.Chauveau asked the Government to ex-' plain the policy of France in regard to Greece and Crete.M.Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said in reply that lie would explain the Government's policy at the beginning of the week.In the meantime, he \u2022 aid, he would promise his associates in both Vbat6bers that the foreign policy cf Prance, which could be expressed in one word, Would be to maintain peace b'y rreanl of a eonnert of the European Power?.\u2019\t., , NEW WARSHIPS FOR GERMAN x.BkrMN, March 12\u2014The Budget Committee of the Reichstag to-day approved the Government's estimates of 20,000,000 marks for the purpose of building new battleships.It is regarded as doubtful, however, that the credits demanded by the Government for the construction of two additional cruisers will be passed by the Reichstag.EUROPEAN TROOPS MAY OCCUPY CRETE, Vienna, March 12\u2014The Admirals commanding the European squadrous in Cretan waters have suggested to their respective (iloVërnftietUs the advisability of each Power contributing 1,000 soldiers to be employed in occupying the towns in the Cretan island for the purpose of preserving order.The semiofficial FremdoiblaU to-day says that the ¥ÎêW of the Greek reply taken by the Powers is that it can Only be replied to by the employment of force 4o induce Grccco to obey the will of Europe.ministerial crisis In SPAIN, Madrid, March 12\u2014The tvipllrt^l «ssArj that at the Cabinet Council which was hen, yesterday the Queen Regent refused to sign a decree.siibrftiited by ,the Ministers recalling Gen.Polayieja from his pofi'.tô'H 99 Captain-General of the Philippine friands: aha that there arc con-equeni rumors of a Ministerial crisis.AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE Athens, March 12 -With the abatement of the war fever here there is a growing belief that an amicable agreement between Turkey and Greece with regard to Crete is possible.Massacre feared in Asia minor.CôîFstaNTlNriPLÉ; March The opinion obtaiop here that the negotiations between the Powers on the feplt of Greece to the Cretan Ultimatum will be protracted ïn thè meanwhile another threatening feature has been added to the situation.Renewed outbreaks are threatened in Anatolia.The British Ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, has drawn the attention of tho Turkish Government to the condition of this district of Asia Minor and has requested that immediate steps be taken to overt another catastrophe.It appears that the condition of the Christians there is deplorable.They are the victims of contint outrage and murder aud the situation is so Critical that a massacre Is feared: Advices from Erzeroum say that large forces of Russian troops are concentrating on the Armenian fronfier id the direction of Sarikemish in the district of Kars.RUSSIA\u2019S ATTITUDE TOWARDS GREECE, St.Petersfit\u2019Rtl, March 12\u2014The Govern* ment here is absolutely firm and unfliuching in i's attitude that there cafi be no negotiOt* ing with Greece Until ehe has withdrawn from her position as an offender against international law in open defiance to the Powers; It is considered that were once such a preee^ dent given, all the small countries would, when it pleased them, follow suit and the Powers would absolutely lose all Control.PRESIDENT KREUGER AND THE QUEEN.Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, March 12\u2014President Kreuger has arrived here to arrange a closer union with the Transvaal.He was entertained at a public luncheon, And replying to an eulogistic toast of President Steyn, said he was no: there to controvert the Queen s rights.Time would show (hat he had always defended Her Majesty (cheers) and he had told his people to respect her.He hoped the two Republics would form indissoluble ties, but he never had any idea of the Free State being absorbed by the Trans vaal.President Kreuger said he knew he had 10 abide by the London Convention, but the Queen was a troublesome woman, and it was, therefore, necessary to deal with the utmost caution.He hoped some day to see a union of tiie whole of Africa.An Ingenious Defence.(From Harper ,i Hound Tablet) An old darky was brought before a Southern magistrate, not long ago, accused of stealing a neighbor's chickens when tho nights were dark and no one stirred abroad.The old man put up a long but weak argument, seizing upon every possible straw to support his defence.The evidence was too strong, however, and matters were rapidly approaching a climax that meant a month of idleness in the town jail.The thought of this ahd the attendant ignominy stirred the old darky to a point where he did nothing but splutter out, \u201c \u2019Pon my honor, jedge, lie\u2014er\u2014lie didn\u2019t done take \u2019em.\u201d At last the judge grew tired, and was about to sentence him, when a broad smile illuminated the darky's face as he cried out, 4T« got it, jedge ; Ise can prove an alibi \u2019bout dem chickens.\u201d \u201cWell, what is it ?\u2019\u2019 exclaimed the judge.\u201cYou see, jedge, no poor colored man could take dem chickens at night-time.\u2018 How\u2019s that?\u2014what do you mean !\u201d \u201c\u2019Cause, jedge, dey\u2019s nothin' but roosters at night, and de charge am dat I took chickens.\u201d The ingenuity of the defence won the day.THE QUEEN\u2019S GENEROSITY.Her Majesty Adds Another £\u2018500 to the India Famine Fund.Thotreands of men in every walk of life all over the world are playing a desperate game with Death for an opponent.They are playing with an opponent who has every advantage, and the outcome of the game i< as certain as\u2014Death.The man in any walk of life, who is too hard-worked, too busy, to take care of his health has only himself to blame when the final break down comes.It is easy to keep health while one has it, but uphill work to win it back when it is lost.A man neglects a slight indigestion.\u2022 Then his appetite gets poor.That\u2019s a trille and he pays no attention to it.Then he complains of headaches and it is hard work or think.His sleep becomes resiles and he only gets troubled spells of it.He gets nervous and irritable.Kvervthing goes wrong both at home and at business.He persists in paying no attention to lus health.Then some day he breaks down.The doctor says nervous prostration or con sumption as the case may be.He has been playing a game with death and has been checkmated at the weakest point Mr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medic d Di-covcry vs an unfailing cure for all disorder of tlm digestion.and the deadly maladies that follow in iheir train.It is the great blood-maker, flrrit-buildcr, and nerve tonic.It cures r,s per cent, of all cases of consumption.It is an unfailing remedy for tu rvoti- prostration and exhaustion.Thousands of men have te-.tifio to tlwir ret very under its ti^\\ after all other remedies had fiiled.All druggists sell it.Do not d> .d with -i drug fist who offer;
