filed into the House of Representatives to count the vote of the Electoral
College, cast in the manner described in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD,
No. 13.

As the Senators entered the House of Representatives, all the Congressmen
rose, and remained standing while their visitors filed in, two by two.

The little procession was preceded by the officers of the Senate, who
carried the ballot-boxes.

The work of counting was then commenced by the tellers, and ere long it
was officially announced that William McKinley was the choice of the
people for President of the United States.

CRETE AND GREECE.



Well, well, well! So little Greece has really done it! While the Great
Powers have been worrying each other, have been forming alliances and
triple alliances, have been threatening Turkey and shaking their fists at
each other, have been trembling in their boots and calling conferences,
little Greece has fired upon one of Turkey's ships, and "accepts full
responsibility for all her acts."
