ctmti.icutal newspapers yesterday, pur
porting to describe Rusia" attitude on
Hie Cretan question an 1 averting that
the ItusMMi gm eminent bad ordered Greece
ito roall her lruciu- from Crete within
tltfee days, is now known to be authentic

early in the week, and it is sow said
upon unquestionable authority that it
met with remouttrances rrom England,
France and Italy, but w.i- &s.ci.ted to
by Germany and Austria
This proposal by lluia now reiiresents
tlte transuion phase of .Russian diplomacy
and the real iiuiHirmncf of the com
immtcatutn lies in the fact that Russia is
determined upon a poiic of speedy aud
decisive coercion or Oittxe Itj force of
tirxns, and is ready to apply sucli measures
with or without the co-operation of the
lAher iiowers The actual state of the
i-asi is that Russia agreed to delay action
lir three days only, upon the strength of
representations irom the British and
French governments that time ought to be
uccjrded to the Gicek government m
wIhcIi to consider its position.
Tle impel i oiF initiative taken by Russia
lias certainly ac derated ihe nepotia
t o:s among the powers, which are now
turning mainly toward a procedure of
coercion. Official advices vlncli have
leew received here fion Athens have
caused the co.ivjctien that the fleets of
the powers nuict make their appearance

ittfssfen will certainly be accompanied

jiioldbly bj the ald!cation of the Greek
monarch.
A semi-official aitlclc in the Pcsther
I.loyds conveys the idea that the Austro
Iliingarian government, though now fol
lowing the lead of Riiw-.a. and Germany,
Is very much averse to Russia's style of
Initiative as afirming her light to be re
garded as the paramount jKiwer In the
ISnlkans. In official cmles in Berlin, how
ever. Russia's haste in the matter is at
tributed to the movements which have
been made by Servia and Bulgaria toward
an offensive alliance against Turkey. King
Alexander or Servia will start from Bel
grade for Sofia tomorrow to confer with
I'rince Fculinand of Bulgaria upon the
situation, and. acrording to a dispatch
published in the Trankfort Gazette, the
governments of Bulgaria and Servia have
demanded from the Borte an explanation
of tlie massing of Turkish troops upon the

The recall of M. Itangabe, the Greek min

Is his own government dis-atisfied with
the way in which he has conducted the
negotiations intrusted to him, but he has
offended the kaiser by his imprudent ex
pressions in newspaper interviews.iu which
he has strongly criticised the personal inter

Senators Give the Vice-President
a Handsome Silver Service.
WORTHY OF HIS HIGH OFFICE
All the Senators Unite in tho Testi
monial of FJsteom Hour, Culloin,
nnd Blackburn Made Presenta
tion Speeches 51 r. Stevenson Vis
ibly Overcome "With Kino t ion.
The Senators of the United States last
night presented Vice President Stevenson
with a solid silver service, and a parch
ment scroll, as tokens of, the esteem they
bear him, and appreciation of his impar
tiality as a presiding officer.
The presentation was made in the rooms
or the Vice President, at the Kormandlc,
between the hours of G and 7. The com
mittee which represented the Senate con
sisted or Senators Blackburn, Hoar.Cullom,
Gorman, Hill, Gray, Faulkner, Bacon, Bnce,
Elkins, Jones or Arkansas, Wilson, Roach,
j Carter and Chandler.
henators Hoar, Cullom and Blackburn
made the pt escalation speeches Senator
Hoar said, in part:
"Mr. Vsco President, a few of the mem
bers of the Senate, representing the de
sire and spirit or the whole body, are here
to ask you toacccpta slight, token of their
personal regard and their deep sense of
pleasure which they have had during their
association with you during the past four
years.
"The office of Vice President is a diffi
cult, as well as important, function in our
f government. Not elected Vice President
by the body to which he belongs, not n
member of that body, it was at one time
a matter of grave doubt whether he could
exercise any authority over that body.
That matter has long been settled and
of all the Vice Presidents, many of them
illustrious in history, none have presided
over the Senate with such absence of
friction, and of anger, or conducted cur
business with more prudence and wisdom
than ha s marked our administration dunng
the past four years. Yours has been a
singular example of good government
government by good nature.
"It is, after all, a good thing to have
been Vice President of this Republic, in
the best days of its history. An illustrious
position to hold, and one which luis leen
conducted with honor by you. It Tvas
taid by an eminent historian that to have
been a consul of the Roman Republic
was enough glory for one man; but how
much more glorious to have been tha
Vice President of this Republic of 70,000,
000 freemen, and presiding officer of the
( greatest deliberative body of the world.
"Our ucartreit wishes ror your happiness
and future accompany you to your home."
Mr. Cullom referred to the character and
honor of the Vice Presidential office and
the dignity, patriotism, intelligence and
ability with which Mr. StcvV-nson had
performed Its duties. Be referred to the
renowned men who had filled that chair,
including John AdamS, Thomas Jefferson
ami George Clinton, and to how its present
occupant haB upheld Its traditions and
proved himself worthy of the esteem of
his countrymen and the members of the
Senate.
Mr. Blackburn followed Mr. Cullom.
"More than forty years ago," he said,
addressing the Vice President, "we met
as classmates at the college In my native
State; more than twenty years ago we
met again in the halls of Congress, each
entering upon his first term in the House
of Representatives. Four years ago you
were elevated to the position which you
occupy, as Vice President of the United
States and presiding officer of the most
august deliberative tribunal on the earth.
Seventy millions of free people conferred
that honor upon you and the manner in
which you have filled it has proved you
worthy of their trust and confidence. The
members of the Senate could not
allow you to pass from them
without giving you some token of the
place you have won in their hearts.
"The service which they offer to you is
comprised of the most durable material
it was possible to find, and the tcroU
which I will present to you Is made of
parchment, whicli may endure for ages, but
durable as these materials arc the in
scriptions upon them of remembrance and
esteem are more durable still, for the
sentiments they couvey can never die."
Senator Blackliurn added that these testi
monials were given to him that In private
life they might be a source of pleasure to
him and lo his fissSy, to he handed down
hy them to future generations. As Mr.
Blackburn closed bis remarks, he presented
to tlie Vice President the parchment scroll.

emotion, and some moments passed before
he could trust himself to speak. His words
came slowly and were impressive in their
slowness. Be referred to the lesponsiblll
ties or the position he had occupied, and
said it was impossible to be insensible to
the honor conferred upon him. The elo
quent words of the gentlemen who made
the presentation, the testimonies of the
esteem which the members or the Senate
had for him, filled his heart to overflow
ing. Whatever there may be in the future,"
he said, "the past is secure. The asso
ciates of the past, the honor I have had
in presiding over a body famous in history,
can never be effaced from memory. From
the botuiiu of- my heart, r thank you all
and the honorable body which you repre
sent, morethan can be expressed in words."
After the presentation Mrs. Btevenson,
assisted by the ladies of her family .served
refreshments to the members of the com
m.ttce, and ttien n.osfc of the Senators
hurried nirayto participate in the evening
session nfc the Capitol.

unrulllng courtesy, and unsurpassed wisdom
and discretion, which, in the discharge of
his high orfice, have endeared him to the
Senate and earned for him the gratitude of
the American people."
The parchmenttcstimonial accompanying
the service, and signed by every Senator,
reads as follows:
"Washington, Feb. 27, 1S97.
"Hon. Adlal B. Stevenson:
"Sir The discharge of the important

RaedyPosfw Ills Guarantee.
The exclusive statement In The Times
yesterday morning of Pat Raedy's match
with Tommy Ryan, the fight to be pulled
off In Rochester on St. Patrick's Day,
was the occasion of a great deal of gossip
.among local sports. There are many who
believe that Raedy will make a good show
ing against tlie celebrated welter-weight,
Baedy said last night that he would get
down to hard training Monday and would
make the attempt of his life to best Ryan.
Baedy's backer forwarded $100 to the
club at Rochester yesterday, which was
the amount of guarantee required to insure
his presence in the ring on the date named
March 17.
The World of Business
Wall street was a pleasant place for the
bulls jesterday and equally uncomfortable
for the gentlemen on the short side. The
tone of the market was strong and deal
ings fairly active, 85,894 shares being
traded in during the two hours of the
session. At first the buying was prin
cipally for the account of the shorts, trying
to hedge and get out, but toward the end
of the session commission houses were
prominent as purchasers.
The continued advance in prices yes
terday looked the most like a loom that
any Wall street movement has in many a
week. After the continual upward ten
denoy for the whole week the advance
recorded yesterday all over the board
were for 1-4 to a full point. The ad
vances for the week since Saturday, Feb
ruary 20, are all the way from one to
four or more points. This buying for
the long account Is all attributed to the
early adjournment or Congress and a Le
Uet that a higher range or prices will
follow the Inauguration of Mr. McKinley.
Whether this belier is well founded or not
the discounting of it pushes up prices now
and makes the long side or the market
most attractive
1 would not be surprised to see declines
immediately after March 4. They often
come iu just this fashion. Remember,
that the election boom all occurred in the
two or three weeks before McKinley's elec
tion, and that arter this Important event
there was Tor months nothing encourag
ing In the market.
Prices on December 5 were lower than
those or November 5. The inauguration
boom is already a matter or several points
advance. This column at Its beginning pre
dicted it and reviewed the several suffi
cient reasons why it should come and
must come. But too much must not be
expected of it. It Is good advice
worth taking not to carry your holdings
over inauguration.
The favorites in the speculation j csterday
were Sugar, Burlington, St. Paul, Omaha.
Chicago Gas, Rock Island, and Northwest,
all or which sold at the best figures of the
week, aud were in demand atthe advance.
It may bo said in general that everyone of
these stocks has the facts in its Tavor, which
should be good for even better figures
tomorrow and Tuesday, aside from the
inauguration boom.
Sugar was notably strong, moving up to
117 3-R on buying by brokers supposed
to be acting for insiders. Sugar closed for
the week 4 3-8 points up. Sugar Is always
one of the leaders of every upward move-

Come ami see what we can offer you by way of Important and reli
able Information over our own exclusive private wires to New Xork
and Chicago, and from our reliable CORRESPONDENTS,
Robert Lindbiom & Co., S. Munn, Son & Co., Knapp Bros.
mentor the market The condition or ihe
company, Its big dividends, its prospects
make this only logical.
The fact that Chicago Gas is a fine pur
chase at present figures must be again
insisted on here. The situation with re
gard to the Chicago gas companies is pecu
liarly fortuitous Tor higher prices. Remein
her that dividends were earned and not dis
tributed for a long time; that the consoli
dation of the companies Is now virtuallyac
coiup!i.Hhcd. and that the prospects of the
concern for earning money are now of Ihe
rosiest.
Manager Hibbard, of Lindbiom & Co.,
Mr. Silsby's correspondents, has this to
say of the general situation: "There has
been a little increase In commission buying,
and the point of better prices next week
Is credited by well-informed houses Some
of the large foreign houses tell friends they
expect favorable developments soon We
understand that the McKinley administra
tion has outlined Its plans somewhat to vari
ous banks in New York of late. A promi
nent banker tells us that the administration
purposes In connection with the tariff are
very shrewd and clear."
Lake Shore is atlGl, four points above
the price of a week ago. It has been un
usually active. Nothing has been "decid
ed In regard to Lake Shore refunding. Of
ficers of the company say that various
plans have been informally discussed, and
It Is quite likely that others may be
brought up.
Omaha is receiving favorable considera
tion by shrewd speculators. The stock
will likely pay a 4 per cent dividend this
year, and quite possibly a semi-annual dlv
dend of 2 per cent in July. Itshould reach
75. Omaha earned nearer 4 per cent in
'90 than Burlington did. and Burlington
Is looked on favorably at 75, while Omaha
is around 50. It certainly should be 10
to 15 points higher when the market has
any vim to It-
