SENATOR LEW WALLACE, the United
States Minister at Constantinople, has, on
behalf of his Government, officially de-
clared a refusal TO permit Turkey to with
draw, as the Porte had announced its in
i tention to do, from the treaty of commerce
| existing between the two countries and
which expires in June, 1884. General Wal
| lace gives for his refusal general and inter
national reasons but bases it technically
/ upon the factthat thePorte gave notice of its
/ desire to withdraw onMarch u instead of on
June 8, the terms of the treaty making the
early notice invalid. General Wallace has
notified the Porte that the United States
| Government will refuse to recognize the
new Turkish tariff dating from the 18th OF
March last, giving as a reason that the
commercial treaty exempts the United
States from the terms of the new tariff.
| The American Minister takes the ground in
both notifications that the treaty of com
merce required of each party a years
notice to the other of a desire to withdraw
that Turkey had no right to with.
draw in June, 1888, upon a notice
given during the preceding March
unless the United States consented
and that as Turkey desires to withdraw
from the present treaty it is entirely incom.
patible with the interests of the American
Government, which under the treaty is Sc
cured more favorable tariff terms than those
that would be imposed upon it by the new
tariff. The United States feels justified in
protecting itself by insisting upon the letter
of the treaty. Any other course would sub
ject American commerce with Turkey tc
arbitrary and disastrous positions.
