VICTORY FOR GREECE HER SOLDIERS TAKE FORT AGHIA, WITH MANY PRISONERS. Cretan Christians \YII<I With KntliUdlnsm For the Cause Represented by King George—Powers Issue an I Uinta turn—lt Is Not Yet Heeded by Greece. ATHENS, Feb. 17.—The first definite news of a Greek victory in Crete has just been received, and the wildest enthusiasm followed the receipt of the intelligence. The Greeks, it is said, attacked and cap- I tured Fort Agliia, taking 400 Mussulmans prisoners. Among the number are 100 Turkish troops, the remainder of the pris oners being Moslems who lmd taken refuge in the fort. Details of the engagement are lacking. ; One report states that no fighting occur- j red, the garrison surrendering upon the i demand of the Greek commander. As no j mention of any losses is made in any of tho dispatches it is surmised that this re port is true. Notwithstanding tho reports that the ; nowers would take concerted action to pre vent Greece from making further hostile moves in Crete, warlike preparations are being made with all possible dispatch. In addition to the ' corps of occupation" al ready on the island, which corps numbers 1,600 men of all arms, another regiment embarked upon a transport and sailed for Crete last night. Tho people are in a frenzy of excitement and demand that tho Cretan question be ! settled now for all time. It is popularly thought tliat when the powers find the , annexation of the island which Greece has in view an accomplished fact they will readily acquiesce in this spoliation of the Turk. Greek Fleet Ordered to Withdraw. KHAXIA, Crete, Feb. 17. —Tho com manders of tho foreign squadrons liave sent a joint note to Ismail Boy, tho newly appointed governor of Crete, successor to Prince Georgi Beroviteh, resigned, inform ing him thijt they had addressed an ulti inatum to tho commodore of the Groek fleet requiring him to withdraw from Cre tan waters. They requested the governor. Ismail Boy, to find away of notifying the insurgents of this fact and of summoning them to yield up their arms, also of in forming them that tho powers had taken measures to prevent Greece from interfer ing In tho affairs of Crete. An Italian gendarmerie officer was at once dispatched with a flag of truce to the lines of the in surgents at Akrotiri. lie delivered the messago, but the chief of tho insurgents replied that they would maintain their ! present position and send a definite reply in behalf of the revolutionary assembly Monday. Their action will probably do- j pend upon tlio course adopted by Colonel | Vassos, tho commander of the Grecian | forces on tho island of Crete. Colonel Vassos declared to a representa tive of tho commanders of tho foreign squadrons lie did not recognize tho Turk ish vali, but would oxecute tho orders of the king of Greece and occupy Crete. Cap j tain Mandato reports that the Greeks have two battalions of infantry, ono of artillery | and two mountain guns, together with many Greek volunteers.

LONDON, Feb. 17.—The Athens corre spondent of The Standard says that the insurgents on tho island of Crete arc every where swearing loyalty to King George of I Greece. Five hundred more troops have j started for the island of Crete. Great quan tities of stores, provisions and munitions of war aro also being dispatched to Crete. The foreign ministers, the German ropre (tentative excepted, have collectively ad vised tho government to recall tho fleet ! and troops, but this is not regarded seri ously. An unbroken stream of refugees continues to arrive from Crete. Ultimatum From the Powers. LONDON, Fob. 17.—A dispatch to Tho ! Daily Mail from Vienna says it is report ed that the powers have addressed a col lective note to Greece demanding the with- I drawal of her naval and military forces from tho island of Crete within 48 hours, failing which tho port of Pira us will be blockaded and gonerul hostilities com menced. Beroviteh'* Lack of Courage. LONDON, Feb. 15.—A dispatch to Tho Times from Khania, dated last night, says that the resignation of Princo Georgi Beroviteh, governor of Crete, has already been accepted, and lie departed yesterday afternoon on board the Austrian Lloyd GEORGI BBROVITCH. steamer for Trieste. Despite the official statements there is reason to believe that ' ho loft his post without the sultan's per mission. In his letter to tlie consuls rep resenting tho powers he only stated that ho had tendered his resignation. In response to a request from tho edi tors of The Chronicle asking him to send a message of hope to Greece, Gladstone lias wired The Chronicle from Cannes us fol lows : "I dare not stimulate Greece when wo cannot help her, but I shall profoundly re joice in her success. I hope the powers will recollect that they have their own character to redeem.'' Autonomy For Crete. LONDON, Feb. lfl.—The Standard prints a dispatch from its Athens correspondent saying that the powers have decided to su pervise the execution of a new charter for Crete, the chief feature of which is the au tonomy of the island uudor tho joint rule of the powers. The Standard's corre spondent further says that lie lias been as sured by a Greek official of high position that Emperor William of Germany used liis influence very largely to effect this so lution of the matter, which is hailed with delight, and the crisis is considered to be pver.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 17.—Senator Chan dlcr's speech in tho senate in the advocacy of bimetallism was one <>f tho notable) ef forts of the present session, not only for the scholarly care with which the senator presented the question from his standpoint, but for tho bitter sarcasm addressed to Senat r Palmer and tho Indianapolis con vention, tho arraignment of Silver ficpulj licanswho bolted the St. Louis convention and for the dramatic personal oxchange betweon Mr. Chandler and Mr. Pettigrew, the latter Ixdng ono of the bolters from ! tho St. Louis convention. | Mr. Chandler's speech lasted three hours lnd was replete with incident. It was an argument against single standard of each metal, gold or silver, and a warning against a policy of monometallism. Then I the senator turned to political phases of ! tho question, speaking in turn of Bryan, ]of Palmer and of MeKinley. Mr. Palmer sat across the aisle and was frequently ad -1 dressed by the speaker as one who had contributed to the election of MeKinley. The controversy between Mr. Chandler and Mr. Pettigrew was one of the hottest personal episodes the senate has had in sometime, the South Dakota senator de claring that Mr. Chandler's statement relative to tho violation of pledges at St. Louis wore wholly and absolutely false. Mr. Chandler did not modify his state ment, hut mutual explanations restored cordial relations. The peroration of Mr. Chandler was an appeal to tho incoming president and his advisers to heed tho needs of the people, particularly on the money question, and a warning of speedy political disaster cer tain to follow delay. The bankruptcy bill was taken up, Mr. Hoar, in charge of tho measure, opening the debate in its favor.

Tho true official fig ures on the run give her a speed of only 28.72 to 28.78 knots, but it was quite ap parent. to those on board that the boat was not forced to her limit and that she might be rated as a 80 knot boat if in the hands of a trained crow, for at no time was the steam limit of 225 pounds reached, nor did her propeller reach 400 revolutions per minute, while there was every indication that she was equal to much above this.

BRADLEY-MARTIN'S ELABORATE AND EXPENSIVE ENTERTAINMENT. More Tlmn m Thotiftanil Guests Enjoy the Hospitality of the Hostess at the Wal dorf—Marvelous Display of Diamonds aud Costumes—A Brilliant Scene. NF.W YORK, Feb. 11.—The great fancy dress ball given by Mrs. Bradley-Martin, heralded by press and pulpit, occurred at the Waldorf hotel last night. New York's most fashionable society gathered there to portray the regal splen dor of past centuries. Tho great ballroom of tho Waldorf, beautified with a wealth of roses and fragrant flowers, was a scene of grandeur never before equaled in this country. Courtiers of old, of every clime, mingled with grand dames and ladies, kings and queens, princes and princesses, but hero and there the old spirit of loyal ty hod manifested itself in the presence of colonial men and women of tho old and quaint days in America. More than 1,000 guests were present. Half the great building was given up to the function, and for hours the highways and byways without wero blocked with tho incoming guests and the multitudes who stood gaping beyond the charmed cir cloof police surveillance. Never was Fifth avenue so entirely in the hands of the an cient and aristocrat ic nobility of past ages. Great social functions of tlie past in this town were eclipsed, oven that memorable Vaiidorhilt ball of 188:1, with which since then all other affairs until last night have seemed to suffer in comparison. For lav ish expenditure, for artistic decorations and surroundings, for a reflection of tho most picturesque episodes in old world his tory and u gathering of tho fairest and tho richest in the new world liie, the ball last night marked an epoch. It was more than a mile post in New York's social history; it was tho event of a decade. Invitations to tho ball were issued to an indefinite number of people. Many came from cities far distant, but there were many abroad who could not come. Never theless the ball suffered nothing from lack of numbers. Tho times of Louis XV and Louis XVI and the gayest regimos of the courts at Versailles were best represented. Tho Louis XV epoch was in Mrs. Martin's mind whon arranging tho floral and tapestry decorations. In no more appropriate way could the lavish display of pink roses and garlands in loose profusion have been used. The air was freighted with the delicate odors of the (lowers, and as the guests ar- MRP. 1K A DI.KY-MARTIN, rived low music drifted from the balconies. It was sensuous. The hearing, the sight, the smell, responded. Victor Herbert and 50 men of the Twenty-second Regiment baud wero perched in tho west end of the balcony of the largo ballroom. A Hungarian band of 22, in powdered wigs und quaint uni forms, were in the east end. As each guest was ushered into tho room in which Mrs. Martin received, a lackey announced his or her name and tho character from tho six teenth, seventeenth or eighteenth centuries which ho or she represented. After pres entation tho guestsmixed up and soon be came lost in tho bewildering array of cos tumes. Surpassed All Previous Events. The Bradley-Martin ball will go down in history classed with the Schermcrhorn fancy dress ball of nearly half a century ago, tho Prince of Wales' hull and tho Vandorbilt ball. But it eclipsed all of these. It was the crowning glory of tho social life of New York of this century. It may not be surpassed in another 100 years. It was a gorgeous, superb and wonderful spectacle. It cost a fortune, and at least the workers who benefited by it will al ways say that the money was well expend ed. The results of months of preparation and tho outlay of hundreds of thousands of dollars were exhausted in five hours. Men and women traveled across tho con tinent for the honor of being presont. For one night tjgp gorgeous and prosaic hotel was transformed into a "beuutilul Arun da palace, whero tho inmates lived en chanted lapped in soft music of adu lation, waited on by the splendors of tho world." New York society was picked up and deposited in Versailles amid the glory of tho court of Louis XV. Compromised For 8500,000. Dui.t TH, Feb. 13.—The case of Mr. Alfred Men-itt against J. 1).
