DOVVSVu
WASHINGTON, june 2.CThe Turkish min
lister here has received from the Turkish
Minister of Foreign Affairs the following:
Rumors inspired by i'll will having been
spread in regard to the fate of the fallen
monarch, I hasten to deny them in the most
express manner. His majesty the Sultan,
Murad Khan, as soon as he was pro
that his uncle should be surrounded
with the respect and honors due his per-
son. He has assigned for his residence a
pavilion adjoining the imperial palace OF
Tiheragan.
Abdul Aziz Khan at once addressed to
his majesty an autograph letter to scknowl-
edge his accession, and declares that he re-
limo uished the throne, and aspiring to re-
pose, he wishes to live in his retreat.
Kerr's Nemesis.
The cross-examination of Hsrney is pro-
crossing. No Developments. He adherss
to his statement that he paid Mr.. Kerr the
money for Green's commission.
In the course of his cross-examination
Harvey testified that he had worked for
Green for friendship, and never expected
to make anything ont of it. He had never
make money for himself by securing an
appointment, or that his salary was made
quate to his support.
Myer Strouse, of Pennsylvania, testified
that he was member of Congress from the
Schuylkill district in 1866; he knew Law
renee Harney, who was assistant dOor-
keeper at that time; Harvey asked witness
procure his friend Green an appointment in
the army; Harney spoke of Green's
| character as a soldier, and witness
wrote q letter to President Johnson
in favor Of such an appointment;
Harney said to witness, "You have
influence with the President, and have
| always been the soldiers friend, and can
said to witness that he (Harney) could make
little money, probably $400 or $500, out
of the business. Witness told Harney that
| he (witness) had nothing to do with the
| financial part of the business. Wltnes was
very intimate with Mr.. Kerr, but never
saw him in any Intercourse with Harney.
Harney was very courteous and friendly
because he attended to his business Oblig-
ingly. Harney was . Republican with
Democratic proclivitiee. and as President
johnson was q little shaky, Harney told
| witness it was necessary that Green should
have little Democratic influence.
On cross-exanination Mr.. Strouse tes-
titled Harney had told him that his position
| did not pay well, and that his expenses
! were very heavy.
MIR. Biaine's Troubles.
Mr. Blaine had not concluded oonsuita-
tion with his lawyers. Investigation ad-
| journed to two o'clock.
Mulligan has been summoned by ths
Real Estate Committee, whose powers in
clude the investigator of all kinds OF mis-
| conduct on the part of members of Con-
| gress.
The Blaine examination was confned to
the $64, 900 affair. Nothing startling elicit
| ed.
MIR. Blaine, before the Committee, stated
| that he had consulted Matt Carpenter and
| Jere Black, and they advised him not to
| produce ths letters, ON the ground that to
compel their publication would be unjust
| and tyrannical. They also held, Mr.. Blaine
| continued, after reading the fifteen letters
submitted to them, that they have no rela-
vancy to the matter in hand, and the com
| mittee would decide in the same way if the
| letters we're shown them.
| The opinion signed by Messrs. Black and
| Carpenter a. read u substantially as re-
| ported by Mr.. Blaine. It concludes: "As q
result Of this, it fol lows that Mr.. Blaine
having the letters and papers in his pos
session is not bound to surrender them. Re.
ferring to Mr.. Blaine's private affaire, and
being wholly beyond the range of the in
lied to make, it would be most unjust and
| tyrannical, 10 we'll a. illegal, to demand
| their production. We advise Mr.. Blaine to
assert his right a. an American citizen, and
| resist any such demand to the last extrem-
ity."
Mr.. Hunton-DO you wish the committee
to understand you decline to produce the
| letters?
Mr.. Blaine-Yes, sir.
