sent to Mr.. Washburne indicating that his
assistance is required At Washington in rela-

might necessitate change of Cabinet minis

Moreover, the President declares that Mr..
Washburne's advice is not wanted, and that
he will not succeed Mr.. Fish or anybody else.

reason to know that Mr.. washburue will

Proclamation by the President Accept
Ing the Jurtsdiction Of Certain Otto.
man Courts Over American Citizens in
Protection OF Their Right to Hold Real
EstAte In Turkey.
The President has issued proclamatio recs-
ing that the act OF Congress approved in March
last authorizes him to accept for the citizens OF
the United States the jurisdiction OF certain tri
bunsls In the Ottoman domnions and Egypt,
esta abhshed or TO be established, under the
authority OF the Sublime Porte and Of the govern
ment OF Egypt, and therefore, he Is authorized for
the benefit Of American citizens residing IN the
Turkish dominions to accept the recent law OF the
Ottoman Porte ceding the right or foreigners 10
possess tmmovabe property IN said donnons.
The proclamation contains the text OF the protocol
between the United States and Turkey, IN which
1t Is stated that the law granting foreigners tho
right OF holding real estate does not interfere
with the immunities specified by treaties and
which will continue to protect the person and
property OF foreigners who may become owners
of real estate. As the exercise of this right
OF possessing real property may in
duce foreigners to establish themselves in
larger number In the Ottoman Empire, this .mpe-
rial government thinks 1t proper to anticipate
and to prevent the difficulties to which the appli-
cation OF the law may give rise in certain locali-
ties. and such is the object OF the establishment
OF the rules which follow this declaration. The
right OF defence and the publicity of the hearings
are assured in all cases to foreigners who may ap-
pear before the Ottoman tribunals as well as to
Ottoman subjects. AS a part OF the proclamation
Is added the law conceding to foreigners the
right OF holding real estate In the Ottoman En-
pre, passed January, 1857, by which foreigners,
proprletors OF real estate In town and country,
are placed upon terms Of equality with Ottoman
subjects IN all things that concern their landed
property. The President has caused the protocol
and law to be made public for the information and
guidance OF citizens OF the United States.

canal The most important OF the reports, that OF
Engineer Mcfarland, will hardly be ready by that
time. but sufficient Information will De furnished
the President to enable him 10 speak OF the SUIT
ject in Ills forthcoming Message. The cnolce Is
between Nicaragua and Darlen, the Tehuantepec
route requiring too many locks. The Nicaragua
route, it Is understood, has the Presidents ap-
proval, and is considered certainly practicable as
a commercial course. There Is out little hope for
iurthering the project in the coming session OF
Congress. and II something Is not done toward
encouraging the work this winter the next Con-
gress will hardly consider it worthy support on
President Grants recommendation. The Pres-
dent is anxious something should be done to lnau-
gurate this work before his term expires
