Despite the per plexities of the ministerial situation and the calls upon his time arising from the memorial fetes of the past week, the kaiser has been able to give a large share of his attention to the eastern crisis. Nearly every day he has had protracted conferences with the chan cellor or Baron Marschall Von Blober steln, minister of foreign affairs, at which though Internal alfalrs were un doubtedly discussed, the foreign situa tion had a prominent parL It is known that the kaiser has been again in dlieet ctimmunlcutloii with the sultan, and following his occasional use of the right to be his own foreign minister, lias sent personal Instructions to Union Kaiirina Von Jeltseh, (.Senium ambas sador at Constantinople, and to Baron Von Plessen, Clerman minister at Ath ens. The ministerial press here argue with some apparent degree of Justice that the kaiser in again resuming an active role In the protruded negotiations con cerning Greece, has entirely disinter ested alma. If he seemingly follows In the wake of the czar, it is because of the fact that up to the present time the policy of Russia has been directed to the malntaliiance of the statu quo In the Balkan peninsula, which concurs not only with the general Interests of pence, but especially agrees Willi the in terests of Austria, Germany's ally. But there are near prospects of the diver gence of C.ermany from Russia's lead. Previous dispatches lliave already de nounced the current fixings that the kaiser's policy was in any wise Inllu enced by his personal enmity to the Creek royal family, or that lie ban ceased al rlelatlons with his sister, the Duchess of Sparta. There is good ground for statins.' Unit while oppos ing Groece's-seizure of Crete, the kaNer has had in view the satisfaction ot Greek claims in another quarter and that he has now suggested to the sul tan the rectification of the frontiers of Greece, according to the terms of the fourteenth protocol of the Berlin treaty. GREECE CANNOT WITHDRAW. Tt is felt and admitted in the highest quarters ht-tv that Greece cannot with draw fro i a Crete, abandon all her claims, and submit to the behests of the powers without some compensa tion. A revolution at Athens after so many saeriilces on the part of the na tion would be Inevitable. Crete is for the time at all events lost to Greece, but King George has caused the pow ers to be Informed that the basis of a pacific settlement can be found In the acquisition by Greece of the territory accorded to her under the Berlin treaty. The Greek frontier would then run from Mavroneri on the Gulf of Sa lonica, to and Including Metsovo, and the lake of Janlna, the line terminat ing on the south bank of the river Kalaina. Within this strip of territory, the people are nearly all Greeks. It has no strategic Importance for Tur key and Its cession could not or ought not to awake Into action the Sorbo-Bul-garian alliance. That Russia will as sent to this adjustment, however, Is more than doubtful. AVhen Greece de manded in ISM the frontier assigned to her under treaty the porte refused and Russia backed up the refusal. Now that a secret entente exists between tile porte and Russia, the chances of acceptance by the porte are small; yet the powers know that this small meas ure of justice to Greece will avert war and Its consideration must have Its In fluence. The Sorbo-Bulgniian compact will be finally concluded at Belgrade early In April. Prince Ferdinand, accompa nied by his prime minister, SI. Stol loff, then goes to the Servian capital. SI, Stolloff and King Alexander's prime minister, SI. Slmltch, have con sulted the Russian government on the terms of the alliance which bus re ceived approval fiom St. Petersburg, wlille the Austrian official press make only casual reference to an arrange ment that oonllrms Russian domina tion in the Balkan states, the Hilda Pesth papers are more outspoken. The sum of the matter is that for the pres ent Austria, though seriously nppro benslve, can do nothing except to strengthen her forces in Bosnia and llerseegovinn and this Is silently be ing done. During the past four weeks, there has been a constant stream of men and munitions into Bosnia chiefly towaids Serajero. .Military opinion here concurs In viewing the preparations for war now proceeding against all the Balkan states as not making Imme diate operations Imminent on uny side even on the Greeu-Turklsh frontier. Minor encounters there may occur, but the passes in Thessaly uie still under snow, as is uie case along the great llalkiin range, and movements of troops In mass will be for sume weeks yet al most Impossible. SIISSION OF THE CMIOWN PUINCE. The sailing of Crown Pilnee Con stantino from Athens for Volo, Thes saly, last evening, accompanied by the Crown Princess, the kaiser's Bister, who will go as far an Lnrlssa, Is not held here as implying the hastening of an outbreak between Greece and Turkey, but on the contrary It Is understood here that the aim of the crown prince Is to counteract the Influence of the national committees which are working as hard as they can to Incite Greek troops toads of insubordination on the part of the Greek soldiers, In making attacks upon Uie Turks across the bor der with tho object of precipitating an embroilment which diplomacy will be powerless to overcome. Crown Prin cess Sophie will remuln a week at I.a ilssa In order to supervise the organl- zntlon of the work of the Red Cross so. clety, which contemplates uu extensive programme in the event ot serious hos tilities. Tile Frankfort Gnzctto says that Von Dcrgoltz Pacini, the Gorman general who organized the present Turkish army and some time ago severed his relations with the Turkish military de partment because of his disgust with the way things were going, is a candi date for the olllce of governor of Crete with good chances of success. Regarding Crete, the military view Is that It will require 25,000 troops to effect the so-called pacification of the Islanders If they choose to resist. There are 30,000 well armed Cretan? In the Island whose lenders still distrust the autonomy offered to them. Further tliiin this the Italian government has categorically refused to furnish a man beyond Its quota of 000 men for pur poses of occupation of the island,., the English and French governments dare not In the fnce ot popular sentiment Increase their quotas; Germany will neither inctense the number of vessels In Cretan waters nor send troops to Crete and the powers cannot or will not agree uniong themselves that Russia shall undertake the work of occupation of the Island alone. The European mandate to France and Italy which is under public discussion Is disliked In both countries anil the settlement of Crete Is still a diplomatic puzzle. London, March 2S The Telegraph will toluol row publish a dlsiKitch from Kudu, stating that Insurgents today tiled upon a Russian torpedo boat, which replied to the fire. The dis patch adds It is feared that a war with out quarters will shortly begin, with the Cretan Christians pitted against the Tuiks and Europeans. ACCESSIBLE TO CALLERS The Alarked Absence ot Red Tape About the White lions; Causes Much Favorable Comment. Washington, March 2S. The dem cratic habits of Uie president and the members of his cabinet and their acces sibility to callers, are pleasantly com mented upon. Air. SlcKinley's manner of receiving visitors and his horseback rides and afternoon strolls liave be come familiar matters of conversation. It Is a maxim here that a president's personality can be Judged by ills con duct during the first few months of his administration. Three members of the cabinet have shown a surprising, but pleasing disre gard for time honored customs. They are not bound down by ofllclal pre judice, but do what they want without regard to red tape. When Secretary Gage wants to see one of his subordi nates, he Is as likely as not to dispense with the services of a messenger In summoning Uie person needed, and to walk Into his oflice without warning'. Postmaster General Gary and Secre tary Wilson are following the same plan. Sir. Gary frequently answers calls on the telephone and Sir. AVilson will take a visitor through the agricul tural department conservatories and explain the varieties of rare plants that are In the horticultural collection. Tlie reputation Sir. Sherman had for excluslveness while in the senate, Is not borne out by his personal con duct as secretary of state. Sir. Sher man has followed the example of the late Secretary Gresham In throwing open the doors of his office to all who have business with him. Of course, as with the other members of the cabinet, there are certain specllled hours when the secretary is not accessible but lib eral time Is allowed all who desire to see him. Secretary Gage Is much the same and he frequently comes out Into the oflice of his private secretary, Vnnderllp, which is used as a. waiting room, to expedite the business of callers. Attorney General SIcKenna Is a hard worker, but his duties at the Supreme court and other demands on his time do not operate to any great extent against those who desire to see him. The many delegations that have called are always courteously lecelved and find the atorney general Is an atten tive listener. EASY TO REACH. Ills endeavor to grasp every detail concerning the naval service does not consume so much time that Secretary Long cannot be readied by the many who have go lie to the navy department on public matters. The secretary Is easy to reach and leaves an agreeable Impression upon his callers. General Alger, like Sir. Long, Is assiduously studying the methods of the milltury branch of the government. He is al ways genial and approachable, nnd gives patient hearings to Uie Impostu late ones. The habits of business men stick to Sir. Bliss. He Is at his desk in the In terior department early and manages to transact a large amount of busi ness during the day. If It were not for the olllce seekers,. Sir. lillss would go ahead In his customary way con ducting his department as he does his piivate business. But the olllce seek ers have no cause to complain. They are given a liberal share of the secre tary's time and no dissatisfaction has been displayed over the manner in which nn eastern man disposes of mat ters that largely concern the western country. ' The nearness of Sir. Gary's legal residence to Washington has brought upon him Us penalty. At no other de partment are theie so ninny visitors anxious to see Its chief. His oflice Is thronged every day with crowds of persons who want positions under the postofllce department. Sir. Gary sees all who comes, listens carefully and patiently to each visitor, and. alto gether, is making himself very popu lar among those who think the ad ministration owes them something. A very simple man In his habits Is Mr. Wilson, the secretary of agriculture. He Is conscientious In learning all that can be learned about the agricultural department, and us a result works haul mid long. His visitors llml him plain and straightforward, and to Uie high and low lie is accessible the most of the time. Hydrophobia nt Wilkes-Bime. Wllkos-l'lurre. Slareli 2S.

THIRTEEN DIE FROM HUNGER Awful t:porieiico in mi Open Boat al Seu--Tlio Thirsty Sailois Drink Ocean Water and Become insane and I, cup Ovorbonid -- Weary Watching for u Sail. Greenock, Starch 28. Tho report that the steamer Ynnariva, a British tramp vessel from Newport News for Glas gow, had picked up some of the sur vivors of tho foundered French steam ship St. Nazaire, turns out to have been correct. The Ynnariva arrived here today nnd at once reported that she had jescued sixteen of tliuso who hud been on the Ill-fated steamer, and who had taken a small boat just before the St. Nazaire went down off Cape Hatteras during a heavy gale. The lookout on the Ynnariva sighted n small boat some distance from her displaying a signal of distress. She bore down to the boat and soon hud the survivors on board, where everything possible was done for their comfort. As soon as the rescued people were able to give the details of the disaster that had befallen the St. Nazaire and told a story that uj;reed in all its material details with the report of the founder Ingot' the steamer cabled here from Un united States. The boat which the Yanarlva picked up bad contained twenty-nine persons, but when the steamer sighted It there were only six teen persons alive In It, the other hav ing died from the effects of exposure and hunger. The survivors were ex hausted when they were lescued and if the Yanarlva had not seen their boat they would all have been dead in a short time. The Yanarlva saw nothing of the other boats which left the St. Nazaire. Captain Weston, the master of the Yanarlva, modestly tells a very graphic story ot the rescue. lie) says that on March IS, eight days after he left New port It was reported to him that a. dark object, apparently Hying a signal of distress could be seen some, distance off. lie at once scrutinized the object through a marine glass and thought he saw living persons in a boat. He at once gave orders to the man at the wheel to change the course of the steamer so that she would run down to the windward of the boat. When the Yanarlva approached the boat it was seen that there were sixteen persons in her. WEATHER WAS ROUGH. Tho weather was rough, drill it was a delicate task to bring the boat under1 the lee of.' the steamer. Those in tho boat could render almost no assistance In effecting their own rescue. Final ly, despite the rough sea, the boat was brought alongside and lines were thrown to those in her nnd they were hauled on board. The survivors pre sented a most pitiable spectacle. Their faces were wan and haggard, their eyes were bulging from their sockets and their scant clothing hung about them in loose folds. They were In u condition of the greatest exhaustion and were unable to stand when they readied the deck of the Yanarlva. Two of the number had lost their reason from the terrible sufferings they had endured, nnd they had to be restrained -by the men of the steamer. The boat had left the St. Nazaire In such haste that she had not been properly provisioned. There was only a mnall tin of biscuits aboard of her, and this, It Is believed, was part of the stores supposed to be kept In the life boats for use In Just .such an emerg ency as had occurred. After three days of the best cure possible to give the rescued people with the menirre frailties of the steamer, all of them were able to partake of solid food. Thereafter they progressed favorably, but have not yet -fully recovered from the effects of their terrible experience. The survlvois are: Pierre NIeolnl, second captain; Ger man Glraud, second engineer; P. Luu renzettl, third' engineer (all the above belong In Marseilles); Nicolas Sauve nel, Cubnn, a passenger and twelve sailors belonging to Slartinlque. DESCRIPTION OF THE WRECK. In nn Interview with one of the olll cers he described the capsizing or smashing of the bouts when they were attempting to leave the St. Nazaire. When the boat in which the survivors were found was launched, Second Cap tain Nicola! took command of her. The weather was extremely rough and con tinued so for several days. A still was rigged and Captain NIeolnl munaged to keep her running dead before the wind. This, though a dangerous ninn euvre was the only thing possible to do under tile clicumstnnces us to have kept the boat on any other point of sailing would hnve resulted in her be ing swamped. As It was the combing seas followed close upon the stern of the boat und every moment threat ened to break aboaul and 1111 her. The water constantly poured over the gun wales and every soul in the boat was drenched to the skin. The water was balled out with cups and this exercise undoubtedly saved the lives of some of the hapless men, for otherwise they might have frozen to death. The salt encrusted on their faces and hands caused much pain. Tho suddenness with which It was necessary to aban don the St. Nazaire prevented any at tempt being made to put a supply of water in the boat. Some of Uie men' withstood the torture of thirst as long as It was possible for human nature to do so. Then, maddened by the tor ture to which they were subjected they J uiaiiK sea waier. ineir agony was then worse than, ever and In a short tlm they went innd and Jumped Into the sea. The strongest of the men re frained from putting the sea water Into their mouths, and prevented by force so'mo of the others from doing so. Those who were maddened by drink ing wei'e held In the boat until Uie strength of their would-be savers fulled, when with piercing cries they threw themselves overboard to escape the torture that was racking their frame. Words cannot oxpress the agony that was experienced by all. Day after duy they vulnly scanned the heaving breast of the ocean for sight of a still, Gulls Hying close to the sea or the breaking top of a wave were frequently mistaken for the gleam of canvass, and finally nil hands nlinost abandoned hope of over being picked up. THE AGONY OF SUSPENSE. On the morning of March IS the smoke of a steamer was seen stream ing In a long line upon the distant horizon. For a long time It could not be determined what course she was steecring, nnd the men were fairly fiantlo with fenr lest she would not sight them. The steamer was then too fin- away to allow of a signal from the boat being seen. Ultimately tho top masts, lower masts and then the hull of the steamer came up In full view, nnd then a signal was set. The men were now maddened with anxiety. At one moment the boat would be on the top of a sea, when the steamer would be observed, and then she would sink into the trough nnd the steamer would be lost to view. Finally their nnxlety turned to hope and then to certainty, for it wus seen that the steamer was steering for them. There were only four Inches of the free board of the boat showing, and it wns learned afterwards that It was this that first attracted the at tention of those on the Yanarlva be fore the signal that had been set was seen. So low was the boat in the wat er that it was expected momentarily that she would sink, the men being too exhausted to innke any attempt to free her. After an hour of honlble sus pense, dining which time the Yana rlva was manouveiing to get the boat under her lee the survivors were hauled aboard the steamer. The joy was Intense when they felt a solid deck again beneath their feet. Those who were saved hud no knowl edge of the fate of those who hud left the St. Nazaire in the others boats, but before they parted company with the captain's boat they frequently saw those in her dropping corpses over born d. Many of those In that boat seemed to be raving mud. THE RESCUE. Captain Weston, of the Ynnarlvn, says that the boat was sighted at 11 o'clock on the morning of Slurch 12 and not March IS as has been stated. She was then W.', miles from New York. The occupants were too weak to lend the slightest assistance to the steamer's crew in reselling them. For four days they had been without food or water and some of them lind left the St. Nazaire so hurriedly that they did not have a proper supply of clothing. These ill-clud men had suf fered extremely from the cold. AVhen the meii were tnken aboard the steam er they fell Into alternate paroxisms of laughter and crying. After the rescue had been effected Captain Weston put a man at the masthead of the Yanarlva to keep a lookout for the other boats, but no trace of them was seen. The French consul greeted the A'nn ariva upon her arrival here and warm ly thanked Captain AVeston forjhls hu manity and seamanllko conduct." Cap tain AVeston, who Is a specimen of the bluff English sea captain, Is proud of his achievements in restoring all the rescued men to health, THE MANAGERS YIELD. Western Magnates Decide to Wind Up the Affairs of Traffic and Pas scnger Associations. Chicago, March 2S. AVestern railroad managers decided yesterday to wind up Uie affairs of both the AVestern Freight and Western Passenger asso ciations. In their places bureaus of in formation and statistics will be organ ized for both freight and passenger business. This was agreed upon by the general and tralllc managers of the various western roads which have their headquarters in this city. ThioiiRh the agency of the new or ganizations the railroads expect to keep inlonned what the rates of each indi vidual road are and keep posted ns to changes In rates any of them may make. With this information at hand, Joint tariffs can be published by the bureaus and sliippersund travelers can be Informed what the through lates are, while otherwise each road could only publish rates over Its own line and shippers would, In order to find out what the through rates are, have to se cure Information fiom all the different roads over which the business is to go. To innke uniform tariffs will be easy enough without holding meetings for that purpose. The roads can send in voluntary Information of whnt their rales are to ;he bureaus, and If the Kites do not correspond, the roads can iie visited by the chiefs of the bureaus with a view of securing: uniformity of rates.

SiLVERITES CAUSE COMPLICATIONS Democrats und Itcpuhllcnn Cannot Agree Upon n Proper Recognition of the White .Wctnl Advocates, TuriH" Will Occupy Tlmu in the House. "Washington, Slnrch 2S There Is n strong probability of a clash between the Republicans und their allied oppo nents in the senate this week on the question of filling the committee va cancies. The Democrats have attacked the validity of the action of the com mittee on postofllces nnd post roads In taking under consideration numlnu: tlons when the committee was not more than half filled, despite the Tact that a resolution was passed at the close of the Inst session of the Fifty-fourth congress continuing the senate com mittee and authorising It to transact business until the vacancies wen; filled, By attacking the legality of the com mittees us at present constituted the Democrats hope tit force Uie Republi cans to utriee to their programme of permitting the total membership of the committees to remain as at present constituted; the Democrus to hereaf ter name a Democrat for every sena tor of that party whose term expired on Uie Ith of March last. The Republicans will hold a caucus Tuesday afternoon for Uie purpose of hearing the lepoit of their steering committee and solving the difficult problem that now confronts them. The demand of the Democrats Is under stood to be that they shall have pre cisely the same minority representa tion which they granted Uie Republi can minority when the Republicans were u solid body and did not have the present conditions of free sliver dis integration to contend with. The Re publicans, on the other hand, contend that the senators who bolted the St. Douls convention are no longer mem bers of the Republican party. They acknowledge that by former action of the Republican party some of these senators have received very desirable committee assignments, but they in sist that these position cannot now be charged up against the straight Re publicans. The Democrats refuse to recognize any division in the Republi can party. According to this contention the Re publicans, if their demands were grunt ed, although holding the chairman ships, would be In the minority on all of the important CQinniU'fees. This Is particularly true o (he committee on appropriations and.hnunua.. The Dem odfatl'iSisrtipon n'ppofntiinr a Dein--ocrat to succeed Sir. Voorhees on tho finance committee and also Insist upon counting Sir. Jones, of Nevada (Silver Republican), as n Republican to help make up the Republican membership of the same committee. The Republi cans have offered to accept Sir. Jones as one of their assignments If the Dem ocrats will agree to assign a gold Dem ocrat to the committee, but this bus been declined. NEW TACTICS TO BE ADOPTED. The situation has been quietly can vassed and the Republicans, falling to bring the Democrats to terms on grounds which they consider reason able, will probably try new tactics this week. They contemplate offering a resolution declaring membership of the vailous committees shall consist of a. certain number of senators belonging to each party, the number to be desig nated In the case of ouch committee. This resolution, it Is believed by Re publicans, will be carried either by af firmative votes of the Populists or their refusal to vote, as they did when the Republicans reorganized the com mittees nnd took control. It Is also expected that the gold Democrats will decline to vote, and this will give the Uepublleuns a clear majority of the quorum of the senate and carry the lesolutlon that will be offered. If this programme can be successful ly carried out, the Republicans will then feel free to caucus and designate their assignments to the various com mlttet s and then to ask the Dem ocratic committee to fill in turn their assignments. This will bring the mat ter to a square Issue nnd force the fighting In the senate. Republicans who have the matter n charge pro fess their belief In the success of the plan. So far as tho business of the senate proper Is concerned, It looks as if the general treaty of arbitration with Greet Britain would take up the ma jor part of the week. An agreement has been reached to tnite a vote Wed nesday afternoon on nil the amend ments then pending. The treaty, as amended, is to be urintcd and laid be fore the senate the next day, when the debate will continue under the ten-minute rule. If further amend ments are offered, they are all to be voted upon at I o'clock on Thursday, Uie day following. After that hour the offering of amendments will not be In order, and the debate on the treaty will continue until the ilnal vote Is taken. TARIFF TADK IN HOUSE.
