GREEKS WILL NOT TURN BACK
The Powers Arc Informed Thnt the.
Flotilla Mill Not Ho Withdrawn
Until Crete Is lncllic--Turk!sh
Troops Thnt Attempt to Lund WiU
He Opposed.
Athens, Feb. IS. It Is announced this
morning that the king of Greece In
tends to take command of the northern
army In person, and this report has had
the oftect of still further Inlluming the
murtlal spirit of the people. In reply
to the demands of the diplomats repre
senting the great powers here, that the
Cireek ilotllla be withdrawn from Cretan
waters at once, JI. Skouses, minister
of foreign affairs, sent to each minis
ter a note saying the withdrawal of the
Ilotllla will be impossible until Crete Is
completely pacific and furthermore that
the Greek government will not rescind
Its orders to the Greek forces In Crete
to oppose the landing of Turkish troops
upon thu Island. Colonel Vassos, com
manding the Greek militia forces in
Crete, has established headquarters at
Gonla and Is making preparations to at
tack the town of Sellno.
Constantinople, Feb. IS. The govern
ment has called out 64,000 reserves in the
provinces of Broussa and Treblzond.
Solla, Feb. 18. JI. De Tcharykow, tho
Russian diplomatic agent, has informed
the government that the czar desires
that the Bulgarians should not help the
agitation In Macedonia against the
Turks and that the Bulgarian authori
ties should not allow bands to cross
from their country in Macedonia to aid
the malcontents there. -,
TURKS SAIL FOR CRETE.
Athens, Feb. IS. It Is asserted here
that a Turkish force embarked at Con
stantinople today and sailed for Crete.
They will not be permitted to land, for
Greece Is lirmly determined to enforce
her decree ordering the torpedo Ilotllla
to prevent the debarkation of Turkish
reinforcements on the island. It is
stated that the commanders qf the for
eign squadrons in Cretan waters have
induced Colonel Vassos not to bombard
the town of Halepa, which he was pre
paring to do, they promising that a so
lution of the whole question favorable
to Greece would be soon arrived at by
the powers.
The situation on the frontier of
Greece Is very threatening, and It
would not be surprising to hear of ac
tual hostilities there ut any time. All
the available Turkish troops are being
concentrated on the frontier, whither
have been dispatched strong Greek
forces. In the present temper of tile
troops a very slight Incident might
bring about a collision. The advices
received here show that the situation
Is dally becoming more serious.
Canea, Feb. IS. Many refugees are
arriving here from all parts of the
island. Most of them are Moslems,
who have fled from their homes, fear
ing the vengeance of the Cretan Chris
tians or their allies, the Greek soldiery.
They all have stories to tell of the dan
gers from which they have escaped,
and declare that the life of no Moslem
Is safe without the limits of the cities.
A number of Mussulmans arrived to
day on board a Turkish transport.
They afllrm that tho Christians have
killed 100 Moslems at Seraklmos and 100
more in the villages adjacent to that
place.
The commanders of the British,
French and Russian squadrons have
left Canea In their flagships. The
British commander goes to Sltla, tho
French commander to Herakllon, and
the Russian commander to Retlmo.
MASSACRE OF MUSSELMANS.
Canea, Feb. IS. Rumors of a whole
sale massacre of mussulmans at Sltla
have reached here, some of the reports
placing tho number of killed at 2,000,
which inculdes almost the entire Mos
lem population of the town. It is said
that men, women and children were
killed Indiscriminately by the Chris
tians. It Is impossible at present to
connrm tne reports, but the rumors.
have created the deepest anxiety here.
General Bor, who Is In command of
the Gendarmerie at Canea has sent
two Italian olllcers to Sltla in a gun
boat to Inquire Into the truth or falsity
of the reports.
The fort at Voucoulls which is gar
risoned by five hundred Turkish troops
has been besieged for several days by
a large force of well armed insurgents.
Yesterday the commander of the be
sieging force called upon the Turkish
commander to surrender and promised
safe conduct to any of the garrison who
choose to accept itv
The Turks refused to surrender on any
terms. It is stated that the garrison
has provisions enough to last for twen
ty days and a plentiful supply of ammu
nition. It is reported that Greek troops start
ed today for Voucoulls to aid the Insur
gents in the capture of the place.
BIG ROYALTY CLAIMS.

000 from the 1). .V II.
Wllkes-Bare, Pa., Feb. 18. The heirs
of the late Peter Snyder, residing In
Plymouth, brought suit today against

tract of coal land near Plymouth con
siting of thirty-six acres from a man
nemed Brennan and that up to the time
of Snyder's death he owned one-half of
the coal, the title to which he never
parted with to anybody. The defend
ant comjiany, they claim, have mined
coal and are now called to account
for it.
NO TIME FOR WASTE.
Governor Hastings Expresses His
Opinion on G'upitol Humors.
Harrisburg, Pa Feb. 18, Governor
Hastings says regarding the story from
Washington to the effeot that a number
of gentlemen had been agreed upon as
members of the building commission for
the new capltol at Harrisburg and that
politics entered largely Into its com
position; and furthermore that thu rnt
of the capltol was fixed at five millions
and that $33,000 would be expended for
preliminary plans and sketches.
"If such an arrangement has been
made I know absolutely nothing about
It. I have never had any conversation
with Senator Quay directly or Indirectly
on the subject. I have no right or de
sire to speak for the general assembly
and know nothing of the plans or pur
poses of that body.
"Up to this time my only connection
with tho matter Is authority given me
by the Joint resolution to solicit plans
tor the new capltol buildings. This
duty Is occupying most of my time at
present, but you may say this, that no
such sum as $35,000 will be expended for
preliminary plans and sketches. , This
Is not the time for such waste of
mony."
MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
James Marshall Confesses That He
Murdered C. A. Dannc-Story of
the Cold-blooded Crime.
Chester, Pa., Feb. 18. On the night
of Feb. 7, 1801, the body of a well
dressed man, with two bullet holes
through his heart, was discovered in a.
swamp Just beyond the limits of the
oky of Philadelphia, and In this coun
ty. There were no evidences of a
struggle, although a revolver with two
chambers emptied was found near the
man, and the coroner's Inquest led to
the belief that the man had been killed.
No further proof of how the man came
to his death was obtained at the time,
and beyond the fact that he had regls
teretl In a hotel In Philadelphia on the
night of Feb. 6 as C. A. Tlanne, or
Hanne, of St. Louis, his Identity could
not be established. No one In St. Louis
could be found who seemed to know
him, and the body was burled in pot
ter's field and 'the authorities here
ceased to follow up the case until yes
terday, when they were notified that
a man serving a sentence In the Unit
ed States military prison at Fort Co
lumbus, Governor's Island, New York,
had confessed to tho murder. The
man is James Marshall, alias James
Brookham.
In April, 1S91, under the name of
Brookham! Marshall enlisted In the
United States army and after serving a
few months at Fort Adams, R. I., he
deserted. He was subsequently ar
rested at Newport, R. I tried by court
martial and sentenced to an imprison
ment of two years and six months In
Fort Columbus. Various conversations
with is fellow prisoners there con
vinced them that the deserter had been
guilty of a serious crime. The fact was
reported to Captain H. H. Oilman, of
the Thirteenth United States infantry,
and after a talk with that officer,
Brookham confessed to the killing; of
Danne or Hanna. Marshall told Cap
tain Oilman that he and a man named
David Wilson ran across a stranger in
a hotel In Philadelphia. They got him
under the Influence of liquor und en
ticed him to the country. Wilson
gave Marshall his pistol an the latter
shot the stranger and killed him. The
pair got ?2S0 in money and a gold watch
and chain as the fruits of their crime.
To create the impression that the
man had committed suicide, they left
a small sum of money on his person and
placed the revolver near him. Marshall
and Wilson divided the money and beat
their way south on a freight train. In
the south they became separated and
Marshall returned to his home in Card
Ington, this county, where he was ar
rested for desertion and non-support
In the army. Marshall was a weaver
by" trade and Is about 29 years of age.
The military authorities of Fort Col
umbus honored a warrant sworn out
before a magistrate of this city, charg
ing Marshall with murder, and he was
brought here tonight and committed
to Jail without bail.

Mother's Congress at Wash
ington Valuable Hints.
the
Washington, Feb. IS. Aside from the
regular sessions of the nntlonul con
gress of mothers today there were sev
eral meetings held this morning before
the regular session, at which different
members of the congress presided.
Long before the time set for tho open
ing of the morning, 10.30 o'clock, there
was not an available seat anywhere in
the church, and when, Mrs. Dlrney
called the meeting to order Mrs. Maud
Balllngton Booth, of New York city,
made the devotional address. The au
dience joined In singing, "Nearer, My
God to Thee," after which Mrs. Booth
read a few verses from the Bible.
On speaking of mother's love Mrs.
Booth compared It to divine love, the
strongest love Imaginable.
Mrs. Louise Hogan, of Philadelphia,
next addressed the congress on "Dietet
ics." The study of dietetics, she re
marked as applied to the nursery and
the period of childhood Is constantly
brought to our notice as an Important
phase of domestic education. We
should always let the food be simply
for nourishment, not be taken for Its
own sake, but only for the sake of pro
moting bodily and mental activity.
In conclusion Mrs. Hogan said: "Few
seem conscious that there Is such a
thing as physical morality. Men's
habitual words and acts Imply that
they are at liberty to treat their bodies
as they please. The fact Is, all breach
es of the law of health are physical
sins, When this Is generally seen, then
and perhaps not till then, will the phy
sical training of the young receive all
the attention It deserves.
Mrs. Helen H. Gardner, of Boston,
read a paper on "The Moral Responsi
bility of Women In Heredity." She
said: "Self abnegation, subserviency
to man, whether he be father, lover or
husband, Is the most dangerous theory
that can be taught to her, whose char
acter shall mould the next generation,
She has no right to transmit a nature
and a character that is subservient,
subject Inefficient undeveloped, in short
a slavish character, which is either
blindly obedient or blindly rebellious,
nnd Is, therefore, In either case set as
In a time lock, to prey, or to be preyed
upon by society in the future.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hogan's ad
dress, Mrs. Alice Lee Moque, of Wash
ington, delivered an address on "Repro
duction and Natural Law." She said
It was the old theory that parents were
the Involuntary, irresponsible agents
of God in the propagation of species.
Now It was considered that careless
parentage was little less than a crime.
The child deserved the most serious
and laborious study. Men and women
are often influenced by trllles light as
air in entering upon marriage. A girl
ought before allowing herself .to love,
to consider the health, mental consti
tution, position in life, means of sup
port of the man "she may wed. Also she
must consider herself. The first con
sideration is health. Women ought
first to be emancipated from the doc
tors. Mother love ought to be exercised
before maternity Is entered on, after, It
is too late to remedy many Ills. Rrght
thinking and right living ought to com
plement each other In the man and
woman who take upon themselves the
duty of paternity.

The evening session was held In Cen
tral hall to accommodate tho enor
mous audiences which had been at
tracted to the earlier sessions. The re
port of the press committee was pre
faced by a statement from Its chair
man, Miss Isabelle Tyson, of Baltimore,
regarding tho Impure press and Its
baneful Influence. The following reso
lution, offered by Alice C. Robinson, of
Baltimore, was adopted by a rising
vote:
Realizing the almost limitless power,
for good or for evil, exerted by the dally
press, und that the proper education of
tho youth of our land is of vital Impor
tance to tho future prosperity of the
state:
Resolved, That wo will admit Into our
houses only 'those papers which Insnlro
to nouie tnought and deed and that our
Influence shall go toward cultivating the
public taste, until it shall demand from
the press only that which elevates and re
forms. Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, of New
York, delivered an appreciated address
on the subject of reading matter for
mothers and children that should be
found In the library of every well regu
lated domestic circle.
The final address of the session was
by Anthony Comstock, who cited sen
sational Instances of his experience,
showing to what an extent obscene lit
erature was circulated In the board
ing schools nnd colleges for both sexes
throughout the country and the need
of effective co-operation from parents
and others to abolish an evil which was
destroying the morals of half the pop
ulation of tho United States. In con
clusion he proposed action by the con
gress supporting national and state
legislation to prevent the publication
and distribution of all kinds of literature
of the dime novel variety and to pro
hibit the printing of murder trials and
other description calculated to in
form children of criminal methods.
