Flnkey's Financial Condition.

Eugene Schuyler, Consul General at
Constantinople writes to the State department
that the public debt of Turkey amounts to
1927 OO0O 600, the annual interest on which, sixty
five millions, is more than half the total reven-
Tic of the Empire. The last annual budget
published, that of March, '76, showed deficit
oftwenty one millions. Unless great reforms
arc speedily introduced into Turkey and care
given to the development of its natural re-
sources not even the present amount of taxes
can long be raised. There will be an addition
al deficit each year, and as Turkey henccforth
will be preluded from borrowing money out
side, the financial ruin of the country seems
inevitable.

The commission appointed to investi-
gate into custom house affairs met and exam
ined the first witness, Mr.. Miller, the owner of
a bonded warehouse at II and "a South street,
and 81 and 80 Pearl street. He said Supcrin-
tcndent Russell of the warehouse department,
was for the purpose of collecting subscriptions
Tor political purposes. He never knew him to
visit stores for the purpose of making an ex-
animation of warehouses. Have paid sub
scriptions for political purposes six times; re-
ceived no benefits for such subscriptions. He
also said he was satisfied that millions of dol
lars have been distracted from the treasury
through means of damage allowance. The law
IN that respect ought to be amended, and Il
more careful examination should be made by
honest and competent appraisers, and good
salary paid them and they should be placed
above the temptation to accept gratitudes.

the United States authorities in that Territory
should proceed with tirmness in these prose-

Should the Mormons make any attempt to
prevent the punishment of their leaders the
government will see that sufficient force is
sent to the Territory to enforce the decree of

will be any trouble.

Republican Demonstration. In France.


At meeting Of the Presidents of three
sections of the Left, remarkable moderation
was shown and decision arrived at that NJ
Gambetta, at the reopening of the Chamber,
should move an Interpolation on the part of
the Left, but that contrary to the opinion of
NJ. Gambetta himself and NJ Theirs, he should
refrain from arraigning the action of President
Mcmahon, whose responsibility should be
fully admitted. It was also decided that the
address in reply to McMahons message should
be moderate IN form, though decided in sub
stance, and that if overtures should be made
to the majority with view to ministerial
changes, they should not be rejected without
consideration, although it would be necessary
to insist upon the retirement of NJ Fourtou.
1t was finally decided that the question of
sanctioning the budget should be left to the
budget committee. A majority of the meet
ing appeared to be of the opinion that nothing
should be done to render dissolution inevitable.
1t was admitted that NJ. Fourtou's resolution
relative to hawking licenses rendered many
circumspcct Republican newspapers more
iukewarm in their uttcrances, and that to give
the Republican canvassng the significance of
hostility to Mcmahon would lose a number of
votes.

SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL NEWS
A Terrible Tornado.

On the 4th inst. a terrible tornado struck
Mount Carmel, ILL.,, about p. M, causing
great loss of life and property. Twelve per-
sons are known to be killed, thirty to fifty
wounded, and about twenty missing. Among
the buildings destroyed arc the Presbyterian
and Methodist churches, two school houses
tho court house, and several stores and resi-
dcnces. The direction Of it was from south
cast to little north of east and its line of de-
struction embraced all of Fourth street and a
large part of the territory between Third and
Fifth streets. The duration of the wind did
not exceed two minutes, but the rain contin-
ucd for some time after the Cyclone passed on.
The velocity of the wind was estimated at $50
miles per hour. During it's prevalence the air
was filled with flying roofs, windows, lumber,
rails, clothing, &c. Much of the debris was
carried more than a mile away Thirteen
persons were killed outright and many others
will undoubtedly die of their injuries. There
are also several reported missing who are
probably buried in the ruins 1t being rainy
day, many farmers who could not work at
home were in town. The county court was
also in session, which brought many people to
the city. Men, women and children were
blown Il distance OF 400 feet as if they were
feathers. The best part of the town is de.
stroycd, some seventy families are houselcss
and much distress is anticipated.

Civil service Inquiries.


A commission of three has been APP
pointed by Secretary Schurz to examine into
the methods now in force in the finance and
and accounting division Of the Indian bureau,
especially as to the analysis of money and
property accounts of Indian agents, and
whether the accounts of the agents are rem
dcrcd in accordance with the law and regula-
tions; whether any expenditures are made
without proper authority, and whether the
present system is such as to show at all times
the condition of the money and property af-
fairs at each agency. The last quarterly re-
ports Of agents are to be carefully scrutinized
for the purposes above stated, and particular
examination will be made as to number and
compensation of employees at each agency,
and whether they are given or are allowed to
purchase subsistence or clothing in violation
OF law. The board are also instructed to
make an examination as to the character and
total money value of special purchases for any
agency, during the present fiscal year, and
whether such purchases have been properly
accounted for. The board are not to be lin
ited by these specific instructions, but are to
make such further investigation as may be
deemed proper and for the best interests of
the service, and are authorized to call upon
any of the officers or employees of the bureau
for such information and assistance as may be
necessary.

There are men who argue that Ten
ncssee is unable to pay her just debts.
1t is false. Oar debt is abolt $22,0W,-
600. Our taxable property, at 4 low as
.Aesanent, is 1926, 600 ,OCO, more than
-ten times thu amount of the debt. IN
rea lity it is nearly twenty times more.
But. letus,say ten. What would be said
of an individual who claimed inability
to pay his debts and asks an ''adjUst-
ment," andwhen an inventory is ia
ken he is found tohave property worth
ten times the amount of the debt! He
would be called a thief and a robbcr,
and the laws Of the State would compel
him to pay. The State cOdnpels midi
viduals to pay their honest debts, but
refuses herself.

TUE A
England Becoming Alarmed al the Triple
Alliance.

Reported Crossing of the FrontirT by the
S~ervians--the Fighting at Elena.
A Russian official dispatch, dated at
BogOt, says the battles Of Mariani and
Elena, on the 18th inst, were O I'M
fortunate for the Russians than at first
reported. Fifty officers and eighteen
hundred men were killed and wounded,
and eleven guns captured. The opera
lions on the 9Th inst. were confined to
driving the Turkish right, numbering
ten thousand men, from Stataritza TO
Bebrova. The Tukish left, confronting
JakOwitza, numbers three thousand
men.
The Times says an uneasy feeling is
becoming apparent, lest a settlement of
the Eastern question u|nfavorablc TO
England may be forced on her by the
three Emperors' alliance.
News Of the Servians crossing into
Turkey turns out %unfounded.
The Porte has received advices dated
Nicsic, yesterday, stating all is quiet
on the frontier.
The portion of the Scrvian troops,
concentrated near the frontier, has
been Withdrawn and the other portion
dismissed to their homes.

Governor Of Kassova telographs that
Dec. 3, the Scrvim forces arrived at
Yovar. -Four Seryian officials crossed
the frontier to 'Sienica, demanded eX-
PLANTATION OF the presence Of Turkish
troops there, and demanded their with
drawal by noon, Dec. 6. There was
also n disturbance and fighting on the
9Th between the Seryian and Mussul-
man inhabitants of Senica.

crossed the frontier at Yovar and cree

From Washington.

Our Washington correspondent says:
''The spectacle of Il drunken member
about the Capitol, comparatively rare
since the close OF the war, has again be-
come shamefully frequent. The order
against selling liquor anywhere within
the pro,incts of the building has, it il
alleged. become a dead letter, during
The past two years: and from q Il OF
humiliation and shame the temperance
element of the House has moved 10
make either selling or giving away
drinks anywhere under the root of the
Capital, a criminal O%ilense, punishable
by fine and imprisonment. The vote
in favor of the resolution making ii
such, was unanimous in the House; we
shall p0t lack opportunities to test the
sincerity of that vote; and, by the way,
! am leo 10 say that a residence OF only
a few months is needed to convince the

Speaking of the Southern policy
part Of the Presidents Message, he
says:
"So long as public sentiment in the
South renders 1t impossible to punish
the murdcreS Cf the Chis0lm family,
a large element among Republican
members of Congress will remain skep-
ticle as to any change wrought by the
Southern policy, making the klkluX
and b~ulldozers more tOlerent OF the
opinions of political opponents; the adj
mission of Butler by Il solid Democrat
ic vote will not be accepted as an indi-
cation OF d~isintegration Of that party
and the wisdom, from Il party point OF
review, Of ignoring the preferences OF
the old and trusted leaders in Federal
appointments will continue to be doubt
cd ~ long as such men rs Gordon, Ste
pheus. Hill, Lamar and others of that
pursuatiOn are permitted to dictate the
appointment of such outspoken parti-
sans as FitHsilnmons and Northup are
said TO be. Ofthe many damaging adj
missions made by Gordon during his
Senatorial career, none take higher
rank in that respect than his statement
that no Republican could successfully
enforce the revenue laws against the
lillicit distillers of his State and the
South generally. Edmunds and others
on the Republican side evidently cauS-
Cd him to regret keenly this lGpSiS lin
