DR.. Tanner will enter on the twenty.
ninth day OF his fast to-day at noon. He
is still holding out remarkably, and al.
though he has had some bad symptoms
within the last day or two yet he was re.
ported oil right last evening, and Is appa.
rently free from pain or any bad symp-
toms. The case puzzles the physicians be.
yond all precedent, and all their theories
are being upset. They are beginning to
believe that he will be able to hold out
forty days. They are also beginning to
speculate on what his last will disclose az

The lesson of DR.. Tanners fast is, lrst,
that there Is new road to notoriety, and
not that we can live altogether without
food, but that q far less amount than we
consume would be quite sufficient for all
our physical wants, and that we should
probably be healthier were we not only

TURKEY.

LONDON, July 24.-It is understood that
Turkeys opposition to the DEGREES OF the
Berlin treaty arises from the fact OF the
magnates' opposition to them. 1t is well
known that the Sultan would readily con-
cede TO the DEGREES, hut the pressure
brought to bear upon him prevents such q
result. It's claimed by the magnates that
the DEGREES means destruction, humilia-
ton and disgrace, and rather than adopt
and abide by them war would be prefer
able. The Sultan reminded the magnates
that the Turkish feet was unfit for war,
and was commanded by an Engiishman,
Hobart Pasha, who had % subalterns Ger.

its service somewhat doubtful. The mag.
mates warmly responded by urging the re-

ors and soldiers. Cipher dispatches also
say that revolt against the enforcement
OF the DEGREES is possible.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Secretary Sher-
man was shown a verbatim copy OF the
speech OF Senator Pendleton at the Cleve.
land ratification meeting this evening, in
which Mr.. Pendleton gravely asserts that
there have been discovered peculations,
defalcations and frauds in the Treasury
Department amounting in the aggregate
to hundreds OF millions, and that no salts.
factory explanation has beep made for it,
and the only way the wrong can be reme-
died is to elect the Democratic candidates,
who will see TO 1t that the matter shall not
only be investigated, but the evil reme-
died. Mr.. Sherman, after reading the
speech carefully, said:
~ am surprised that Senator Pendleton
should lend his name to such charge.
The foundation for all apparent discrep.
ancies has been explained dozen times
TO the Senate. 1t originated in 1870 when
Secretary Boutwell,, In order to simplify
and facilitate business, changed the form
OF public debt. When Senator Davis
brought the charges before the Senate, a
committee examined the matter carefully.
Mr.. Bayard and myself were on the com.
mittee, and we both agreed that there was
no deialcation, nor was there any misuse
OF public money. The apparent charge
rested on the fact that proper improve
ment had been made in the form OF max
ing debt statements from tV o sets OF books,
those OF the Treasury and those Of
the Registers office, which, being
made at the same time, naturally
showed a difference. AL OF this
occurred nearly ten years ago. There has
been no pretense OF corruption, defalca-
ton or peculation in the present admins
tration OF the Treasury. 1t is our boast
that the public money has been collected
and disbursed with less loss than can be
found in the history OF any country. The
pretense that Democratic change would
bring any improvement in the administra-
ton OF Treasury affairs Is the height Of
idiocy. Davis, OF West Virginia, got this
roorbaCk In his head, and could not com.
prehend the explanation Of the matter. 1t
was common joke In the Senate as 10 the
ridiculousness'o Of his investigation, and no
Senator OF repute could be found tosay that
be believed that anything was wrong, or
that money had been lost to the Treasury.
The testimony taken by the committee
proved this clearly, and Il any further ex.
plantations are required, 1t can be found

Rockwell only knew he had to shoot at
the last moment. When the possibility OF
his shooting arose last night he had no
time to compare the sighting Of his gun
with others, and had 10 commence with a
borrowed gun which others Of the team
had roughly compared at the pool last
night. The team Is very hot against Far
row, and aresolution to 20 on without him
was to the effect that the team preferred
to be beaten with gentlemen rather than
win under other circumstances. Brown
offered this morning before shootingt to pay
the difference between the value OF the
prize selected for him In extra prizes, and
one which he wished to have; but he still
remained obdurate. General Hawley has
not been here 80 far. Rockwell failed TO
count on the fourth and fifth shots at 900

rifle. Returning he caught htanother blank.
