London, May 10.?The Karl of Klmberley, the
Liberal lcailer In the House of borda to-day
asked whether Greece had announced h?r will?
ingness to,withdraw tier troops from (Tret?, end
whether she had reqoeated the Powera to medi?
ate with Turkey.
The Marquis of Ballebury, In reply, ^nld that "
*he answered In the negative It would be strictly
correct; yet such a reply might be mlaleadlng.
Therefore he would say a word on the subject.
The Greek Government, the Premier explained,
had not ai"ked for mediation, but members of
that Government expresa r desire for mediation.
The Greek Government aa ? whole, he added,
did not intend, to the best of his belief, to ask
m?diation
Regarding Crete, he said, there Is some lndef
initeness in the ? reeeni ; in?.? ? r thlni a The Greek
Government doea not conceive that It would be
tOtMaBtent \?ith us position to promise an Im?
mediate and definite withdrawal of the Greek
troop* from Crete. But the Premier understood,
though the Governa ent had no "ffioinl Informa?
tion on th?? subject, that the Greek Government is
prepared to Fay that it ?'111 withdraw the Greek
troops from Crete in the not very distant future.
Continuing, the Marquis of Ballebury re?
marked :
"1 am sorry to say that, as we stand at pres?
ent, I do not think thi? asmirano.?? is? entirely sat?
lefactory to all the Powera However, J have

A B-CKDEJt HY BOH- ONE- WHY THE CROWN
PIUNCI LEFT UARIMA.
London. May 11.?The Athens correspondent |
of "The I ?ally Chronicle" pays:
"The real and only cause of the Oreek retreat
to Pharsalos was the blunder of one who mis?
took the retreat of the enemy for a forward
movement designed to outflank the Greeks, and
therefore ordered ? hnsty retreat.
"The Grown l'rlnce Constantin left Larissa
because he believed the exasperated reports
of danger to his forces. It is a fact, however,
that on the evening of the retreat Edhem Pacha,
despairing of breaking the Greek lines, had or?
dered his army to retire to Klassona, while the
Sultan had dispatched a special commissioner
to the tireek Government with overtures of
peace. The state of the Turkish Army at that
moment was siniplv pitiful, and terror reigned
at the TlldlS Kiosk."
Mr. Btevens, the special cor respondent of "The
Daily Mall" with the tireek fortes In Thessaly,
declares that the province has been lost through
rank cowardice.

portant experiment ever undertaken hy those
who ballare In the ultimate supremacy of elec?
tricity over steam as a motive power. A train
moved nnd controlled by electricity developed at
a central power-house was run from Rerlln to
Bartford, on a recular schedule between two
traina drawn by Bteatn locomotives, In the ordi?
nary way. The electrically ?quipped train did
not In any way Interfere with the passage of the
train drawn by Inn motives. This Is lm
portant as showing th.it railroads on which
there is a hirer? and constant volume of passen?
ger trafile may be gradually changed from
steam to electricity without any interference
with th?? comforl of passengers.
Though th.? public has not been gener.-'lly
nware of the fact, there bas ?????? a bitter Aghi
on for two yean between the backers of ?lec
trlclty and the future motive power, and the
ba 1;? rs of steam as the most economical power
known. Strange to ?rry, the operators <>f urban
and suburban trolley systems were almoai
unanimous in th.-ir adherence to the advocates
of steam f,,r regular railroad Journeys. It grew
to be a saying In the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers and kindred bodlM during
last winter's discussions that the effective ratiK"
of electricity In railroad service was only six
miles. The advocates of steam trunk linea with
trolley feeders paid, in effect, that a current <>f
electricity could not be kept at a hlKh enough
pressure beyond the six-mile limit to move
trolley-curs without passini? it through a
"booster" or auxiliary dynamo for the n?xt three
miles, and that beyond tho nine-mile limit It
would be neeetspary to transmit the power from
the central power-house as an nltrrrating cur?
rent, to be changed before actual use Into a
direct current by means of a rotary converter.
CURRENT CARRIED A LONG WAY.
Colonel H. H. I ?"ft. the chief electrical en?
gluer of the New-York, New-Haven and Hart?
ford Railroad, demonstrated to-day that a direct
current of electricity can be sent without serious
loss from leakage for a distance of nearly thir?
teen miles; this means a radius of twenty-live
miles from the central power station. Taking In
this case. Berlin, Conn., as the centre, It will be
p. sslble to replace steam locomotives and ?ars
for Hartford, New-Hrltain, Merlden. Waterbury,
Miblletown. Wallingford and other cities of th"
Nutmeg? state, comprising a population of over
200,000 Inhabitants.
The directors of the New-York and New
Haven roa.l have ?rone into this work In earnest,
nnd If the present trini Is successful there is
little doubt that the branches of the New-Haven
r? ad, and ultimately the main line between
New-York and New-Haven, will be equipped
with electricity on the third-rail system Instead
of steam.
The present power-house in Berlin contains
two engines and dynamos directly connected,
capable of being: worked up to 1?.00*?-horsepower
each. This power-house Is only half Its full
size. When the building is complete it will have
six times as much power.
THE THIRD-HAIL SCHEME.
The third rail system, In which the "live"
rail la In tho centre of the track, was adoptad
by C 1-?. (.'lark, president of tho New-Haven
r.-ad, after his experience with the third rail at
Eaat Weymouth, Mass. Mr. Clark made one
great saving In laying the track between Berlin
ami Hartford by deciding that creoaoted wooden
pega were sttllK'I'-ntly DOn-COndUl live to re?
place the expensive Insulators of porcelain and
glase, which had hitherto be.-n employed. The
central rail weighs M pounds to th?; yard. The
conductivity of Iron as compared with copper
Is In proportion of one to six. go that an Iron
rail weighing 98 pounds to the yard would be
eipial to I."1?? pounds of ?opp.t to the yard, an
amount which Ii never usad in actual practice.
The cara are Bfteen-bench open cars, each
equipped with two 1-?">-hots.? power motors, a
controller is on each platform, and on one plat?
form Is an electrical all pump, fur the electric
brake? nnd whistle. This pump Ih stopped and
started by an Ingenious automatic arrangement
which cuit.???? Into play as the pressure in the
tanks rises above or fails below ninety pounds.
The current waa produced at the dynamo at a
preaauee of 600 volts, and six Incandescent lamps
fed In series at an average of 11*? volts burn
brightly at the further end of the line, thirteen
miles from the power-house, showing that the
electrical pressure neceaaary to mera tb...? train
was still more than BUActenl and greatly inure,
than vas expected.
At all crossings and BWltchea this third rail Is
omitted, th.- circuit continuing over two copper
cables, each one Inch In diameter, burled in the
ground. The contact shoe?, which are flat plec.-s
of Iron hung under each truck, are 83 feet apart.
At slmrt <r.'?!sliii<s one Is always In contact; at
crossings wider than 39 feel ? Bh< e bung In the
rear of th?? 11uil'-r car continues in contact until
the first shoe reaches the third rail again.
Th?? distance t" which the power was trans?
mitted and the f.ic that no Intermediate feed?
ers wore used were the chief features of inter?
est to the railroad and electrical experts to?
day. Usually in th.? overhead trolley system
?? .ilers of copper wire k'-ep coming direct from
the dynamos Th.- rond was Opened without
much ceremony. Prealdent Hark came down
In his private car and brought ? number of of*
?leers and directora with him. These were all
transferred to the open mot,.r-car at Herlln and
the Journey over the road began at once. The
thirteen miles were completed In eighteen min?
utes.

BY THIS eOUMIatf SI'HH-URS HV
MKSSHS WHITE ANfi TIRTIE.
Washington, May 10?Mr. Morgan'? Cuban
resolution was discussed at considerable length
M the Senate to-day. Mr. Hale, of Maine, and
Mr. White, of California, spoke against the reso?
lution, while Mr. Turp'e, of Indiana, supported
It. The speeches were In the main calm and
dispassionate reviews of the situation In Cuba.
Mr. Merrill will speak to-morrow, and there la
some prospect that a vote may be reached on
Mr Hale?? motion to r-f.-r the resolution to the
Committee on Foreign R'-!at|on.,
Mr. Ha!?? .?aid ther.? would always be g genuine
nnd heartf.lt sympathy throughout this country
for every strugge In behalf of human liberty.
? This sympathy could not be the exclusive prop.
' erty of any Senator or body Of Senators, for It
? was universal. Hut not .very revolt la in the _|
roetiOB of human liberty, and before invoking
? his sympathy the tmctm must be calmly reviewed
? tO M4 If they warranted action.
He pointed out that the peeling resolution
came from n<> esecutive offl <t, no < ??t.rtulttee,
, no sub-cotnmltt.-. It had Its root and blrth
1 place In the mind of the geagtOf ItOM Alabama.
He did not doubt the ?.In.erlty of thar IpQnatOT.
who was ready no doubt to follow the resolution
to Its logical resulrs, even although its adoption
bhould ba followed by the withdrawal of th?
.'pnnlsh Minister from Washington, the termina
? tlon of relations between the United State and
Spelt?, and the pttaatl le segnai of bttigttlltlog The
Senator was no more alarmed by th? spectacle
Of the drawn sword than he was a year ago.
PRKSIDK.VT M'KIVI.MVS ATTITUDE I'HAI.SKD.
Mr. Hale reviewed the Cuban policy of Presi?
dent Cleveland and Secretary (?iiiey. It was a
conservative and peaceful policy, he said. H?
then read from the message ef l-tesMant McKIn
i ley relative to foreign relations. It showed, Mr.
Hale said, that the President was not for mixing
In the affairs of ?Ore|_n governments. H? was
not for war. but for peace, although he would
' abate nothing In upholding the right? of an
American citizen threatened abroad. The words
Of the President were a happy augury for con?
servative action on this and all other foreign
questions.
Few real American? wer? imfrlsored in Cuba.
The information of the St\te Department some
time since disclosed that there were not more
than twelve. He had never heard of a genuine
Yankee being among them. They ? ?re all San
gully? or Delgados or Radar* Turning to hie
associates, Mr Hale said that no one ever heard
of a Hurrows or a Smith OT a Frye as a victim
of one of thi'se alleged outragea. T?tere ?a? not
a genuine Morgan among them. The real mo?
tive for the resolution was shown In the recent
statement of Mr. Morgan that its [tgggggj would
prevent Spain fiom making a loan, and thus
stop her from putting ?low.? ihe insurrection.
Mr. Calling.?!? dissented from this statement,
saying that the question of a loan was only
one ground on which th?? friends of Cul a had
favored the recognition of Cuban be'Ugcrancy.
There were, he said, other and higher grounds.
Mr. Morgan also dissented, saying that the
resolution was predicated on a number of
grounds, and that ? Spanish loan was referred
to only to show that delay was danger?"us.
NO REAL DEMAND FOR ACTION.
Proceeding. Mr. Hale said that the President
should be left unhampered to pursue the In?
vestigation he had entered upon, and It would
be unwise to embarrass him by ? r'-s- lutlon re
?inlrlng approval or a veto. Th- country did not
ask such action. If there wa.-, .1 r-al sentiment
throughout the country, hundr.-ds of v-terana
would spring to anus. Hut. -n the contrary,
six thousand had started to all Greece in her
struggle where one had not?- to Cuba. Mr.
Hale ci.-isej with a motion to refer the i-solutiun
to the Gommiti.?? foreign Retati oa,
Th.? Cuban resolution waa laid Salde tempo?
rarily to allow Mi?. V"St to Bei ??? agreement
to a resolution directing the Committee on Com*
m?-rce to ln<inire int.. th?? eaiUBM "f the recent
floods In the Mississippi Riv-r, and report to the
Senate next December.
Th- consideration of the Cuban resolution was
resumed, and Mr. Turpi?, <>f Indiana, spoke In
support of it. He Mid that the sympathy of
the peopl? of thla country .vas unlveraal in be?
half of the struggling Cubans, but it ?as time
now to give this sympathy official expression.
Practically the present war of Independence was
In Its thirteenth year, the first priod of th?
war having last d ten years. When th? terms
of tbe temporary truce were violated then this
second period of the siime war for indep.-ndene?,
broke out. No government, monarchical or
otherwise, had succeeded In subjugating a nation
which had made up Its mind to be free and to
throw off oppression. "D Is the ag.? of revolu?
tion.'' Mr. Turpi?? exclaimed, "and I hope that
it mav last long enough to drive the last rem?
nant of monarchy from the American conti?
nent "
THK IXQIIRV IN THK Rl'IZ CAM
Mr. Turpi?? then took UP Mr. Rale's p'.ea that
th" Presiden? should be lefl unhampered to pur?
sue his Influirles. "How can the Pr.-sld-?nt learft
anything we do not know?" he ask?d. The
President's special commissioner waa limited In
his Inquiry to the Ruiz cage. We might a? well
?end a special commissioner to Athens to fln?T
OUt whether war exists ?Mtween Turkey and
Creece aa to seek further Information aa to
Cuba.
At 2 o'clock Mr Gear, of Iowa, interrupted to
give notice that he WOUld move tO-moCTOW to
take up the Senate bill for the settlement of
claims growing OUt of bonds to aid In 'he con?
struction Of th? Central Pacific and Western
Pacific railroads.
Referring to the reports that another Spanish
loan was being negotiated. Mr. Turple said:
? Spain is now on its last legs financially. Shall
we fill up her treasury ' Are we charged with
supporting ar.d maintaining the Spanish crediti
Is it our duty to support the armies and navie?
of Spain on land and sea In h? r vain efforts to
subject 'he patriots of Cuba once more to the
oppression of the Spanish yoke" I think not.
But the Senator from Maine ?ays that if we pasa
th.? resolution the Spanish Minister will ask for
his passports, break off diplomatie relations, nnd
go born.- I d.? not attach Importance to that
conaequenea." He admired the enthusiasm if
not the discretion Of the man who went forth to
light the battle of llb.-rty. bul It was a eettotm
Question whether the I'nited States Government
Should follow ar.d protect Its cltlze?-?, th? world
over when they went to foment revolt against
countries with which it was at peace
Mr Morrill gave notice that he would speak
on the resolution tO-mOTTWW. The r?solution was
then laid aside, and th?? Senate at 1:10 p. ni.
went Into executivi- session, an.l shortly after?
ward adjourned.
