Published in the Mexican Herald-
noiinced a Strong Document.
Pro-
Citv of Mexico. March tl.-l'or the tirst
time 'in the history of Mexican journal-
ism the American president's inaugural
aildrcs waspublislieil the following morn-
ing. The Associated Press reMrt. tilling
several columns of the Mexican Herald
was everywhere complimented.
Mexican statesmen had the satisfaction
of reading the inaugural nt the breakfast
table and the general tone nf comment
is very favorable to the good sense and
moderation of the new American presi-
dent. The Mexican Herald says:
"President MeKinley's message is a
strong document well reasoned and log-
ical from the protectionist standpoint. It
was expected that the champion of protec-
tion would offer the familiar high tariff
H0llSe
remedy for all the industrial ami financial
ills of' the American people. The manly
uml Htatesmauli1;e utterance of Mr. Mo
Kinley on the pendins ipiestion of the ar-
bitration treaty with Knslaud may be
taken as u rebuke of the wrangling J't-
tvfoggiiig senators. He show no Jeal
ousy of the great achievement of Cleve-
land and Olney. but patriotically takes!
up their task where they have been forced J
to li.nve if. It is n notable utterance:
and shows MeKinley at his best. The j
message is a credit to the heart and brain I
of McKiuley." i

AX ANALYSIS OF THE POSITION
OF
THE POWERS ON THE
CRETAN QUESTION.
A Mass Meeting to Protest Against Co-
ercing Greece Will Re Held in Lon-
don Today Volunteers Have
Embarked for Greece.
London. March . (Copyrighted IS!)"
by the Associated Press.) The midnight
tlisputch of yesterday from Henry Nor-
man the Daily Chronicle's correspondent
at Athens has created an excellent im-
pression here. He said there is grounds
to believe the Cretan situation is.improv-
iug; that more than one power has inti-
mated nnollicially that an amicable exit
from r he it hen tv is still possible it
Greece is willing to meet the powers half
way and that Greece is willing to con-
sent to a temporary Turkish suzerainty
over Crete if the powers will allow the
inhabitants of that island when order
is restored to decide their own tale by
plchescite and will appoint a (.reck
governor lor the present.
The good impression mane ny tins mes-
sage i.s due to the fact that the latter part
is believed rightly or wrongly to have
emanated from the Greek government
and is looked upon as giving promise that
I lie matter will be compromised without
bloodshed.
The stock exchange here today opened
with a better tone. The upward tenden-
cy was not very pronounced however
owing to the flatness of the continental
huiivae. ihe advices from Athens and
Crete indicate that while the powers are
agreed as to their general policy they
are divided as to the character of co-
en.iou to be applied to Greece. Two
currents ot teelmg prevail. Great Jjrit-
aiii. France. Italy and Austria on one
side are sympathetic to Greece and favor
mild methods while Germany and Rus-
sia insist upon vigorous measures. This
divergence is manifested in the negotia
tions preliminary to drawing up the note
to Greece. The powers tirst named in-
sist upon the insertion in the declaration
that Crete will not lie annexed to Greece
of the words "present juncture." This
iimpiies that the four powers are disposed
to acquiesce in the annexation of the
island to Greece when the warlike feel
ing shall have subsided. Russia ami
Germany only agreed to this on obtain
ing to the insertion of the words "will
not hesitate to take any coercive steps''
in the identical notes presented to the
Greek government on Monday last.
The last clause of the note was made to
read:
"Therefore. Greece is solemnly warned
that unless the foresaid withdrawal (of
Greek 1 roups from the Island of Crete
and of Greek ships from Cretan waters
or from ports which the powers are occu-
pying) are complied with within six davs.
the powers will not hesitate to take anv
coercive steps necessary to force it. anil
their decision is irrevocable."
The separation of Russia and France
may have considerable itiHtietiee on the
future developments in this connection.
Liberal newspapers are working the
plucky Greek vein for all it is worth and
are indulging in hysterical praise of h
attitude.
A bis mass meeting has been called to
take place in Hyde Park tomorrow to
protest against the coercion of Greece
and the liberal newspapers are pnhlisli'
ins pages of letters from unknown pen-
pie cheering fr Give-..
