Both the ,Sultan of Turkey and the King of Greece had stated they were negotiat- 4ng in regard to the future of Crete, when they were brought to the; verge of war by the action of the powers. The speaker pointed out that the concert of the powers did not come in to existence for the purpose of dew- ing with Crete, but to deal with the Armenian question, with which the powers had been fruitlessly struggling for two years past, when they we stirred out of sluggish action by the despatch of Prince George of (ire eve with the Greek torpedo flotilla to the Island of Crete, and by the landing of Greek troops there. He 4ont'1'nted with commenting upon the imbecility and helplessness of the concert unt;l the King of Greece forced their hand. The Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Othee, Mr. George N. Curzon. replied for the Government. Tia, sa'd no one could rightly complain at lack of opportunity to discuss the conduct of the Government. There had been many discussions an the subject an'l on the speeches of the Marquis of Sal- isbury, although it was true there has; not been a vote of censure, the Gov- ernment having failed to persuade the Liberal leader, Sir William Vernon Irurcourt, to repeat In the House the martial oration so anu`bri-cd]nired at Norwich, while in the six debates on Crete in the House of Commons the matter had only been raised twice and In the French Chamber of Deputies only once. Continuing, Mr. Curzon said that in Austria, Italy and Ger- many the statement of their Gov- ernment's policy had been reiterated so frequently as to become tedious. Sir Charles Dilke complained that autonomy, as proposed for (Ire+e, was not clearly defined, but Mr. Curzoa pointed out the proclamation stated it implied freedom from all control of the Turkish Got eminent in the inter- nal affairs of the island. He there- fore could truthfully eay there was no ground whatever for the suspizien of Sir Charles Dilke that this autono- my, which the Government desired to make ample and clear, was regarded from any other point of view by the other powers. Referring to the negotiations which are said to have taken place between Greece and Turkey direct for the set- tlement of the Cretan question, Mr. Curzon remarked that negosiatioru might have occurred on the subject be- tween the Sultan and Greece, but Her Majesty's Government knew nothing about them. Touching upon the question of the withprawal of the Greek troops front the Island of Crete, Mr. Curzon as- serted this would open the door lead- ing to an almost Named ate an pacific settlement of the question. Since the blockade, Mr. Curzon pointed out, many thousands of helpless and de- fenceless people have been protected by the forces of the powers and their admirals have done inestimable work in the relief of the beleaguered and the saving of life. But, in the fate% of explicit ieit warnings, the insurgentsents had persisted in their endeavors to starve out the Turkish garrisons at outlying points and obtained command ' of the outposts commanding the Owns Ioccupied by the forces of the powers. They had also tried to cut off the water supply and had even engaged in ' fighting with the European trn.•ps. But, Mr. Curzon was glad to say, dur- ing the last few days the situatiaa had become calmee. In the meanwhile ac- tive discussions were procs,:U:ng . among the powers relative to the ques- tion of appointing a Goverumeat for the Island of Crete and instituein,y• a militia on the basis of the autonomist constitution promised. i Mr. Curzon then turned to the eat's- tion of the possibility of war between Greece and Turkey, He insisted the Government had strained every nerve to prevent an outbreak of hostilities, which, he claimed, the Governor nt could only regard as cala.trutous to Greece and as conetitu,.u.g a grave menace to the peace of isurope. The Government of Her Majesty, he -en- tinued, had shown the utmost bearance and regard for the suscepti- bilities of all concerned and had taken part in thejoint declaration at Con, etantinople and at Athens to the effect that the aggressor would not be al- lowed to profit by such action. As to the Greek raids into `Aace.- donia, Mr. Curzon assured the House that, from information which the Guv- ernment had received, the raid was entirely unauthorized by the Gi a :;k Government and was not participated in by the Greek regular troops. Fur- ther, it had been disavowed by the Greek Government, and the Govern- ment of Turkey had 'announced that if the raid was not repeated Tu.k•ey would not treat it as oasus belli, as she might have done. . After matting these statements, Mr. Curzon agp4in Paid attention to the Lib- eral leader.

Condon, April 12. --The correspon- dent of The Times at Constantinople says that the foreign ambassadors there consider three circulars address- ed in the early part of last week by the Porte to its representatives abroad, protesting against the suggestions made by some or all of the powers for the solution of the Cretan difficulty, as meddlesome, offensive, and intended as a ,tu quoque argument in reply to the recent remonstrance against the Tokat massacres, The Porte has issued two additional circulars to its repre- sentatives. The first, which went on Friday last, declares that the Greek regulars and the Greek artillery, com- manded by bugle call, have invaded Turkey, and asserts the right of Tur- key reloo n.circular, to 1. The second which was despatched yesterday, an- nounced the retreat of the aggressors over the frontier and the restoration of the status quo.

The Strange Case of Mr. James Owen,. of Jo inville—Doctors Told Him His Lungs Were Affected and He Could Not Recover—Now in Good Health. From the Sherbrooke Gazette. When a man faces what medical authorities told him is certain death, and regains health and strength, be is naturally grateful to the medicine that has restored him. Such a twin as Mr. James Owen, one of the best known farmers in the vicinity of Johnville, Que. Mr. Owen tells. his story of shat- tered health and renewed strength as follows :— "On the 17th of December, 1894, I was attacked with la grippe. - A week later the trouble developed into pneumonia in its worst. form, and I did not leave my bed until the first of March, 1805, and then I was so weak that I was unable to walk alone. All winter my life hung in the bal- ance. Summer cane, and I was still weak and feeble, though with the warm weather I gained a little strength. I had however, but very little power in my legs, and I could not '•idea mile in a buggy owing to the pain they caused rue, My lungs also troubled me and I raised a great deal of matter. I then consulted the best doctor we have in this section of other province.Het old me candidly that I was past medical help. He said that my left lung was in a state of collapse, and that my right lung was also effect- ed, This was in July 1895. For the next three months, every day seemed to draw me nearer and nearer the end. I was so pressed for breath at times that I could not walk any distance without stopping to regain it. In the mouth of November I began to take I)r. W'illiams' Pink Pills. It was cer- tainly a forlorn hope and I admit. I did not expect much ben('fitfrotn thenz,but took then, rather to please a friend who urged me to tie so. I believe I was surprised when I found they were helping Hie, fort thought I was beyond the aid of medicine, but help nett they did, and gladly continued their use, The result is they have made a well man of nee. I'have not a pain .about ole, my breath comes as freely as it ever did, and I am strong and �vigor- ous. My casecan be briefly summed up in a few words. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have given me a new lease of life and I ant glad to let everybody know it. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system. In hundreds of cases they have cured. after all other medicines had failed, thus establishing the claim that they are a marvel among the triumphs of modern medical science.
