empowered to treat for an armistice without
any fuTther reference to Constantinople. Phil

way ACCIDENT. Inc Turkish Chamber of Depu-
ties being unwilling to embsrrass the govern
ment have unanimously rejected a motion re-
specting the armistice.
The Turks claim their fleet has bombarded
and destroyed the forts of Eupotoria and Yalta,
in the Crimea
BELGRADE, Jan. 14.-The servians have re-
occupied kurschunlje. which the Turks eyac-
uated. The Servisns have taken Vreanis. The
Servian Gen. Beliwakovich, with fifty isa5tal-
lions, is marching on Prishtina. The Seryiaps
have effected junction with the Roumaniaus
before W1ddin. The commandment of that
town has been summoned to surrender, but de-
mands that the garrison be allowed to m arch
out with their arms.
LONDON, Jan. IA "A crisis is near at hand
IN the East The situation has become greatly
complicated within the past few hours italy
and Germany have suddenly brought England
face to face with new issue more startling to
her people than any event since the beginning
of the war
The unquestioned dominance of Russia in
the field has forced England to order her fleet
nom Malta to its old anchorage in Besika bay,
with the presumed intention of entering the
Dardanelles at an early day. Germany and
Italy Suddenly declare that they have interests
in the East as well as Great Britain. PERHAPS
Spain, having tolerable navy, may have some
thing to say. At any rate, the action of the
German and Italian governments is unequiyo-
cal.
Bismarck's policy is made clearer. Ha ia
determined that England shall not perform
acts really warlike, unless she arrays herself
as Russia's open enemy. She shall not 20 to
Gallipoli except as an active ally of the Turk.
The Importance of the action of these two
nations cannot be exaggerated. This sudden
temperance of Italy as a Mediterranean pow
err indicates that the government of King
Humbert is disposed to assert Italy's claims to
controlling influence in Eastern politics
LONDON, Jan. 15.-Despatches from Constan-
tlnople say Server Pasha, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and Namyk Pasha having been ap-
pointed to negotiate with the Russian Grand
Duke Nicholas, Safget Pasha, Minister of Jus.
tice, will act as Minister of Foreign Affairs
during the absence of Server Pasha.

tween Turkey and Russia will break down, The

Gen. Ru,Ier ON the BANKS

NEW York, Jan. 14-In an interview here
BENZ. +. Butler said that if the banks combined
to oppose the law Of Congress they will provoke
contest Ia which they will get lesson which
will last them an entire generation. as the
United States Bank got lesson which lasted it
until this generation. When the banks, the
creatures of Congressional legislation, set them
selves up against their creator, there is q yery
short way of dealing with them, to wit: The
power that made them can and ought toun-
make them. In my judgment, it would be the
duty OF Congress to take away the charter of
any bank or banks that enter into any combi-
nation to nullify the laws of Congress- If, as
is admitted, there is an absolute majority in
both houses in favor of silver currency, and.
as is also admitted, the Constitution has placed
within the jurisdiction Of the two houses the
right to coin money and regulate the value
constitutional power will not permit any act of
men for their own lucre and gain to nuliify
that or any other act of Congress.

count of the bad weather, no unusual demon
strations of the strikers were made. Most of
the shoe operatives who were requested by en-
ployers to withdraw from the Crlfpins or quit
WORK, have adopted the laster alternative. The
manufacturers have not unanimously adopted
resolutions and the operatives are much en-
couraged in consequence. A number of man
utacturers who signed the resolution have
changed tnelr minds and refuse to have the ne
tice posted in their shops The female basters
in one of the shops struck this merning be-
cause the p.Oprietors would not take down the
Objectionable resolution, and most of their
companions in the other shops will strike this

Credit ryohiJier auSs

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14.-In the U. S. Cir
cult Court today Judge McKinnan delivered
the opinion of the court in the case of Henry S,
McComb vs.. the Credit Mobilier." The plain
tiff claims that in 1866 he purchased for third
party 25O shares of the capital stock of the COM
pany, the interest on which stock was subse-
quently transferred to himself, but objection
was made by the company to granting certif-
Gates to Mr.. McComb on the ground Of infor-
mality; The shares, it is alleged, were trans
ferred by the company to Cakes Ames, as trus-
tee, McComb now claims not only the $50
shares, but also stock dividend upon them of
125 shares more and the profits accruing. The
court is OF the opinion that plaintiff is not en-
titled to relief, and his bill is dismissed without
costs.
