THE TREATY WITH TURKEY.
Discrimination Against American Pro-
ducts Threatened.

Discrimination Against American Pro-
ducts Threatened.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June S.-The Porte
recently informed General Wallace, the
United States Minister, that the CONNER
cial treaty between Turkey and America
would terminate March 18th, 1884. The
Turkish tariff expired on the same date
during the present year. After the ter
minatiOn of the treaty, the Importation
of all American meats, lard and similar
products will be prohibited. The Porte
has virtually increased the duties on
spirits by compelling their storage at
Smyrna. 1t also maintains its demand
relative to the storage of petroleum.
No American delegate will be appointed
to negotiate with Turkey concerning
the new tariff, although the appoint
ment of one has been twice requested.
Gen. Wallace has protested that the
above measures are arbitrary, and claims
that American goods, under the treaty of
1880, are entitled to the most favored ma
tional treatment. In relation to the pro-
test of Gen. Wallace, it may be said that
the Porte was desirous of making a
new tariff on the basis of an s per cent.
ad valOrem duty, but the powers objected
on the ground that the tariff was not al
terable until the expiration of the COM
mercial treaty. The Porte pointed out
that this was impracticable, as the treat
les expired on various dates. Almost all
the Ambassadors recognized the validity
OF this argument, and consented to ap-
point delegates to effect an arrangement
of the tariff.
The relations between the Sultan and
Gen. Wallace continue friendly. The
former has ordered the payment of all
private claims of Americans on Turkey,
and claims amounting in the aggregate to
E3S, 900, have already been paid

Hardly Doubt but that it VIII be
Energetically Pushed.
NEW YORK, June S.-A meeting of the
Florida Ship Canal and Transit Company
was held here to-day, 1t was presided
over by Hon. John C. Brown, of Tennes-
see, Highly encouraging reports were
made by the various committees, and
the feeling of confidence in the sue
cess of the enterprise was very marked,
Gen, Charles p. Stone, Chief Engineer,
was present. He stated that he had eX-
amined fully the reports Of the previous
engineers, and entertained no doubt of
the feasibility of constructing tide water
ship canal across the peninsula of Florida.
He also stated that his assistant engi-
neer, A. f. Hill, is already ON the ground
in Florida, and that the actual work of
the survey will begin Immediately. The
survey will be completed in about six
weeks, and as soon as the exact route of
the canal is determined upon the contract
will be let and the work will be pushed
thought that work will begin by Sep
tember next, General Stone has had
large experience in Egypt in connection
with the SueZ canal. Leading capitalists
in this country and England are eager to
furnish the funds required for the con-
struction of the canal. 1t is well under
stood here that the canal will have the
backing and friendly cooperation of the
great Texas and Arkansas system of
roads, with connections ramifying
throughout the Southwest and extending
to the Pacific. Gen. Stone expects to be
in Florida i'm two weeks

NO HOPE FOR PLEASANT.
HIS BOND AGAIN IN THE SOLICf-
TORS HANDS.

Its Rejection a ForegOne Conclusion
Wimberly Still to the FOre-A Motion
Submitted in the BigelOw-Mason Case
Union Pacific Directors Appointed.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Pleasant's bond
was to-day referred to the Solicitor of
the Treasury. There went with it the
adverse report of District Attorney Dar-
nell and all the other papers relative to
it, which have heretofore been mentioned
in the NEWS. Judging from them and
from the expressions of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau officials and the Secretary
of the Treasury, there is no doubt but
that the bond, which, as heretofore stated,
is the same old rejected instrument, will
be again rejected. Its reference to the
Solicitor of the Treasury seems to be
a mere form. The report upon it will be
made by that official tomorrow. The in
dications still strongly point to Wimberly
as Peasants successor.
The suit to recover $4,000 counsel fees
brought by Mr.. BigelOw, the attorney of

to-day on motion to dissolve the order
restraining Mrs. Mason from using the
money collected for her some time ago by
public subscriptions. Among the papers
submitted by Mrs. Mason's counsel was a
letter from the counsel for Mr.. Bigelow,
offering in behalf of his client to relin-
quish all claims for $500. The case was
submitted without argument.

STRIKERS ON THE MARCH.
MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED A q
THE ILLINOIS MINES.

Blood or Bread the Motto of the Work :

cipitated.
ST. LOUIS, June S.--Information has
-been received here that a band Of 400
striking miners left Belleville, Ill.,, yes
terday, bearing banner having BREAD
or Blood' inscribed on it in bold letters.
Nobody seemed to know their destination
or what their particular mission was, but
various theories soon got into circula-
tlon, and one ofthem was that the strikers
had gone to Pinckneyville to liberate the
miners who were placed in iajl
there yesterday in default of bail
for misconduct. Another was that they
mad gone to COllinsville where the Abbey
and other machine mines are situated
The latter theory is probably correct.
Dispatches had been received there that
demonstration would probably be made
at the Abbey mines or the COllinsyille
pitts this morning, but whether il
would be hostile or merely a quiet con-
terence with the machine workers is not
Known. All the men engaged i'm the
mines are well armed with revOlvers and
double-barrelled guns, and are said TO be
under orders to fire on any advancing
party who lay hands on them or any of
the mining property. 1t is thought that
the party will be about 600 strong when
they arrive at COllinsville.

which Ended i'm Murder and Hanging,
II is doubtful whether the pages of
crime furnish more melancholy ro-
nance than that which found its closing
chapter in Elbert Stevenson's death on
the gibbet to-day. The aunt whom he
murdered was left widow in 1869 with
one son of only few years. The mother
was still young and of fascinating beauty.
The how was a flaXen-haired little
fellow who was the pet Of all the neigh

her husband consisted of a small but fer
tile farm on the outskirts of Lawrence
who where. bV the way, all the princl-
nails implicated in the tragedy had spent
their lives from birth. In 1870 the cOmely
widow employed her husbands nephew,
EIbert NJ. Stevenson, the murderer, 10
work her farm. He was at that time
twentv-One wears of age. Soon after his en-
nIovment he developed a mad infatuation
for his fair kinsw0man which could brook
no rival. The aunt noticed it, but

THE RATE COMMITTEE.

State Capital.

State Capital.
ATLANTA, June S.-The Rate Committee
of the Southern Steamship and Railway
Association closed it's session this after
noon. The committee heard from repre-
sentatives of merchants and the Board of
Trade in regard to more favorable freight
rates for Atlanta, but failed to agree on
any reduction. The matter now goes to
the Executive Committee of the Associa-
tiOn for their consideration and action.
The Atlanta committee consisted of
Messrs. B. K. Crane, G. L. DOdd, j. G..
Oglesby, Louis GhOlstin, D. NJ. Balm, G.
w. AkerS, 5. EYeredt and Wallace Nc
PhersOn. Major Crane spoke for the COM
mittee, and showed that Atlanta was
placed at great disadvantage by the pres
ent arrangement of freight rates. The
committee asked that the rates be regu-
lated by mileage and volume of business,
or.by some just and proper standard. At
lanta now stands at the head of the list of
Georgia cities for high rates, and the mer-
chants ask for an equitable revision. Re
marks were also made by Louis GhOlstin
on the same line with Mr.. Crane.
Captain G. A. Whitehead goes home
tonight. The Rate Committee met
in the office of Commissioner Virgil Pow
ers, Chairman, and the following gen.
eral freight agents were present: Z. p.

HOT WORDS IN THE COMMONS
Lord Randolph Churchill Resurrects the
Egyptian War WrangIe.

Egyptian War Wrangle.
LONDON, June S.-A stormy debate
arose in the House of Commons to-day on
a motion to recOmmit the Lord WOlselev
and Baron Alcester annuity bills for the
purpose Of committing the proposed pen
siOns for lump sums of money.
Sir WilfOrd Lawson Radical and Lord
Randolph Churchill Conservative Op-
posed the motion. The latter alleged that
an inquiry into the Egyptian war was
first necessary. The origin of the war he
said was disgraceful, not glorious, as the
governments puppet, the khedive, was
the real author of the massacres at Alex
dria.
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte. Conservative,
supported the government. The opposi-
tiOn TO the grants he characterized as
shabby. The present occasion, he said,
was not suitable for raising a question as
to the policy of the war. He declined to
he led by Lord Randolph Churchill, and
he hoped that the house would not be in
duced by the noble Lord to accept posi-
tiOn degrading to its honor.
Premier Gladstone declares that Lord
Randolph ChurchilFs allegation in regard
to the Khediye was entirely at variance
with all the evidence i'm the hands of the
government.
Lord Randolph Churchill promised to
give proofs of his statement if the govern
ment would grant a proper inquiry.
