The candidature of Prince George, of Ciecte, for the governorship of Crete, Is a striking Illustration of the person al relations of tho reigning lioures In I'Utopu.

The at.polnii'ient of a sv. cf the King of Or-'cc as govc.-nei e-f Ctete would be a considerable victory for the prostrate little kingdom. The Sultan refused to consent to It nnd npepaled to the Ger man emperor. Russia at ance applied pressure by demanding the payment or arrears of Interest on the unpaid war Indemnity contracted bj Turkey in the campaigns of 1S77-8. "Whenever the Sultan Is obstinate he Is forclblj reminded that Turkej' owes Russia a great deal of monej'. This candida ture, which will at once do much to re trieve the fortunes of Greece and will offer a practical solution of a trouble some question of European diplomacy, Is the outcome of the Intimate relations of the two cousins, who were together In the far east.
