There was renewed lighting Monday night between the Turkish troops and the Cretan Insur gents around the camp of the latter on the heights of Akroturl, near here, the position which was bombarded by the warships of the powers on Feb. 21. The result of the engagement Is not known, but the Creek Hag Is no longer visi ble above the Insurgents' position. The fighting between the insurgents and the Turks commenced again at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning and continues all along the line. Communication by road with Suda bay is cut off. In addition to ordering the Greek vice consul to leave the island, Admiral Can evtro, the Italian officer who, by reason of seniority. Is In command of the com bined forces' fleet, has ordered the Greek newspaper correspondents and all the other Greeks to leave Crete Imme diately. A Turkish transport with civil off! clals and troops has arrived here with smallpox on board. Greeks May Attack Canea. An attack by the Greek torpedo boat upon the town was expected. The for eign warships extinguished their lights and prepared for action. The hours, however, passed off quietly In Canea, though there was an affair of outposts at Platania. Any hostile action from the land side will be met with energetic resistance of Greek warships, which still lie at anchor off this port. The road to Suda Is being strongly guarded in con sequence of the menacing attitude of the Insurgents. The foreign garrisons occupying Canea have been reinforced. Owing to the unfavorable weather the landing at Se lino of &50 foreign marines with four guns has only Just been carried out. The foreign admirals have notified the Greek vice consul that he must leave Crete. I'll KM ILK DKLYANNI TALKS.

First Official Gathering of the President's Advisers. SECRETARY RLISS NOT PRESENT. The Meeting Lasted One Hour, but Some of the Members Ileinalned Longer and Knjoyetl a Smoke and Informal Talk with the President Secretary long Con sidering Changes la the Navy Caucus of Democratic Senators. Washington, March 10. President McKlnley and his cabinet held their first formal meeting at 11 o'clock Tues day. As a rule cabinet day has been one reserved for the business before the president and his advisers, not only as against the general public, but also senators and members. Tuesday, how ever, there was the usual early rush of prominent men, many of whom were received by the president.

For the last sev enty years the Cretans have been strik ing for freedom, wnicn j'.uruijeau Icy has ever since reruseu iu biuuv iuchi. This circumstance nas naiuianj in voked frequent insurrections, and, in consequence, many thousands of refu cefs seek shelter and protection from their kinsmen in Greece against Mo hammedan Intolerance and fanaticism.

San Francisco, March 10. The owner ship of $1,000,000 worth of land in Call fornla depends upon the legal construe tion of a word. And a simple word It la the little familiar word "brought." But a legal battle came on in the United States circuit court before Judge Mor row over the meaning of that word, as it is used in an act of congress, ap proved March 3, 1891. The act provides that no suit shall be brought by the United States to vacate or annul any patent to public lands Issued before the date mentioned within five years from ( the passage of the act. This "period of limitation," as the lawyers style it, ex pired March 3 last. Consequently it appears that all patents to public lands Issued before March 3, 1891, became ab solute and irrevocable March 3, 1836, un less previously attacked by suit brought as the law requires. The case in which the point has been raised is that of the United States against the American Lumber company of Chicago and the Central Trust com nnnv of New York. It Is a suit in which the government seeks to hav cancelled upon the ground of fraud and conspiracy more than 160 patents to rail road timber lands in California, situated in Humboldt and Mendocino counties The American Lumber company holds the patents to these lands, which em brace no fevor than 27,000 acres, and their valuA .s been estimated at in the neighborhood! of $1,000,000." The Central Trust company Issued mortgage bonds on the security of the lands to the amount of $P.OO,000. The bill of complaint was filed in the circuit court here Feb. 3, 1896. That was Just a month before the statutory period of limitation expired, after which the government could not Institute suit. The question to be decided is: "Was i tho suit brought when the bill was filed?" The matter was argued before Judge Morrow and submitted upon briefs. It Is said to be the first case Involving the question of when a suit Is "brought" in conectlon with United States land patents and the limitation of five years thereon. The decision will thus afford an Important precedent for both courts and lawyers. TRUST INVESTIGATION. Report of the Joint Committee of New York LegiMlittors. Albany, N. Y., March 10. The resolu tion of the Joint committee on trusts. which held sessions In New xom cuy last month, as submitted to the legisla ture Tuesday, notes the fact that a decision of Judge Swayne on the feder al constitution forbids action on the part of an. individual state to absolute ly repress trusts, but the committee ex press the belief that the attorney gener al can, by bringing action uerore a su preme court Judge, in some respects remedy existing evils. A bill which ac companies the report grants immunity for witnesses who Incriminate them selves and gives the supreme court sub poena power. A bill may be. Introduced to stop the 'actor system as used by the sugar trust. State Senator McCarren filed a mi nority report, exonerating the sugar trust and saying that the trust has made possible lower prices for the commodity. Kmbexcler Sentenced. Boston. March 10. Allison C. Mason, convicted of-embezzllng the funds of the Globe Investment company, of which company he was president, was sen tenced to state's prison Monday in the superior court for a period of not less than five or more than eight years. It was proven that during the time that Mason was president and Morse, who is now serving a sentence, was treasurer, nearly $600,000 of the funds of the com pany disappeared. Mason was arrested Nov. 9, 1896, and after being Indicted, pleaded guilty on two counts of the In dictment. Shoemakers on Strike. Lynn, Mass., March 10.

Most oi tm drove from their respective departments, as a driz rllng rain was falling. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was the first one on hand, followed soon afterward by Sec- retay Long. When Secretary Gage ar rived he did not go direct to the cabinet room, but mingled with the crowd in the lobby. Then came Postmaster Gen eral Gary, Secretary Alger, Attorney General McKenna, and finally Secretary Sherman. The latter drove over from the state department. He carried In his hand a small bundle of papers. Secretary Itllss Abwent. Secretary Bliss, the remaining mem ber of the cabinet, did not attend, being absent in New York. At 11:03 Presi dent McKlnley left his office and Joined his advisers in the cabinet room. Then came a lufl of comrvt-atlve q'et In the mansion, for ofllclal callers could not see the president, and the general crowd was told that the president would receive them at 3 o'clock. In view of the letter of Ex-Queen LUiuokaiani there was considerable comment as to a possible visit from the ex-queen. It was stated that the customary rules and courtesies observed toward private callers would be observed in this case as In all others without any special ar rangements. No word had been re ceived up to the time of the cabinet meeting as to Julio Sangullly, the Cu ban, who, It was said, would call on the president and present phases of the Cu ban question. Meeting LaKted an Hour. The cabinet meeting lasted Just an hour. Secretaries Sherman, Gage, and Alger were the first to leave, and Mr. Gary came from tne cabinet room aft erwards. The attorney general, secre tary of the navy and secretary of agri culture remained some time longer. Huge bundles of aplplcatlons for office were sent from the White House Tues day to the various departments. They comprised some 10,000 applications re ceived at Canton by Secretary Boyle. He had been hard at work on them In ad vance Instead of waiting for the deluge of applications now coming In. With these 10,000 disposed of the officials were able for the first time to get abreast of the incoming mall. A rough esti mate by Mr. Boyle, who is in charge of the correspondence, Is that 98,000 let ters have been handled within recent months. Talked and Smoked. Attorney General McKenna and Sec retary Long remained for half an hour. The talk was Informal, however, the president and his associates enjoying cigars and chatting over old days in the house of representatives. It was stated that no questions of Importance came before the cabinet meeting, the remark being made that fortunately affairs as to Cuba and Hawaii were unusually quiet at present. The attorney general was the last to leave. It is understood that the appointment of the asslsant at torney generals will receive early at tention. At 2:30 Senator Mark Hanna called at the White House and was shown at once to the president's office. NAVAL OFFICERS TO BE CHANGED. Miller May He Made Chief of Iturean of Navigation. Washington, March 10. Secretary of the Navy Ixng has already given con siderable attention to several changes in station of naval officers high in rank. The chief of the bureau of navigation of the navy department is Rear Ad miral F. M. Itamsay, but as that offi cer must retire on account of age April C, his successor must be decided upon within the next few weeks. The office is one of the most important within the elft of the secretary, because Its in eumbent is frequently railed upon to perform the duties of the acting seere tarr in the absence f the secretary and Miatant secretary. Besides, he has much to do with matters affecting offl art aa tnen. Three officers Captain Albert Kautz. Captain R. D. Evans and Captain II. C. Taylor have been suggested for the place. As Commodore J. N. Miller and the new secretary are personal friends, the belief prevails that Mr. Long may ask him to be Admiral Ramsay's suc cessor. Commodore Miller will be pro moted upon Rear Admiral Walker's re tirement on the 20th Inst. Ills special ambition, however, it is said, is to be come Hag officer of the north Atlantic squadron when Admiral Bunce's tour of duty expires in June, and it is gener- ly believed that if he asks Secretary Long to give him this assignment he will get it. Admiral Walker's retirement on the 20th inst. will create a vacancy In the office of chairman of the lighthouse board. On account of the high rank of army officers who are members of the board, it has been customary to assign a naval officer of highest rank to fill the position. The only rear admiral available for the position Is Admiral Beardslee, commanding the Pacific station, whose tour of sea duty has long since expired. His detachment will leave a vacancy which will probably be filled by Commodore George Dewey. Secretary Long will make changes In several ship commands shortly, and will also make assignments of officers to command the gunboats and torpedo boats that will soon be ready for gov ernment acceptance. Democratic Senators In Caucus. Washington. March 10. The Demo cratic senators were in caucus for an hour and a half Tuesday considering the advisability of forming a coalition with the silver Republicans and Popu lists for the control of the senate.

Attorney Daker Will Seek to Compel Mr, Maynard to Act. Lansing. Mich., March 10. Attorneys for Governor Plngree and for D. W. H. Moreland, whose case to compel the De troit common council to call a Fpeclal election for mayor on the ground that by qualifying as governor Pingree va cated his municipal office Is now in the supreme court for argument, were be fore Attorney General Maynard to argue the request of Moreland's attor neys that Maynard institute quo war ranto proceedings to test Plngree's claim to the office of mayor. In the case now pending the Wayne circuit court held last week that More land, In his individual capacity, had no right to make the application, that right belonging to the attorney general alone as the representative of all the people of the state. If the supreme couri ai- flrms this ruling the case will end and new proceedings will have to be com menced. If, however, It reverses tne ruling of the court below, It may then proceed to pass upon Pingree s rignt to hold the office of mayor. In view of the latter fact Attorney General May nard refused to Institute quo warranto proceedings until after the supreme court passes on the pending case. Fred A. Baker, attorney for Moreland. will ask the supreme court for a mandamus to compel Maynard to act. FRANTIC HUS3AND'S DEED. Kills Ills Wife and Mortally v minus An. other Woman.
