Gen. Wallace and the Porte OF Turkey.

CoNsTANTINOPLE, June ~
Gen. Wallace, American minister, has re-
fused to accept the notice given by the Porte
of the termination of the treaty of commerce
between Turkey and the United States on
the ground that it was given too late.
The American consul has gone to Btlis,
in Asiatic Turkey. to inquire into the case
of two missionaries who were attacked and
nearly killed by Kurds near that place.
Gen. Wallace has demanded and the Porte
has promised that the persons guilty OF the
outrage shall be punished. An American
physician was forbidden to practice his pro-
fession in Tripoli because he was not pro-
vided with a Turkish diploma. Gen. Wal
lace on learning this fact had the physician
come to Constantinople to pass the examina-
ton there, take diploma and return! to
Tripoli. Gen. Wallace has addressed note
to the Porte insisting upon an apology for
the treatment to which the physician was
subjected, because hundreds of native doctors
in Tripoli are permitted to practice without a
diploma.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Upon the opening OF the session of the Hill
investigating committee, this morning, MT
Thomas read a statement from Damon OF the
q. s Fire-proof Safe aud Shutter Co., in
which he denied the statement made yester-
day by TAYLOR of the Manly. Cooper Co.
Hill was then examined by Coleman.
Oues.-.When Mr.. Taylor first called your
attention to the alleged offer of bribery on
the part of Mr.. Dawson. did he (Tayior) ask
q postponement of the test for that reason!
Ans-s.I think not. When he first spoke
of it, l told him to put his statement
Coleman stated that Manly of the Philadei-

Washington Monday. to testify to this charge
Murch was recalled. The witness said he
came to Washington at the request and ex-
pense of the stone cutters to notify the gov
eminent of the frauds which were being
committed.
Coleman then called attention to the terms
of the contract for the st. Louis building.
unde rw which he said, even more extravagant
prices were paid the contractors for finishing
the rough stone than was paid for cutting
and dressing the stone. and asked the COM
mittee to appoint an expert to assist slime
metz in making the necessary computations TO
show to the committee the extent OF the
frauds.
This led TO an argument on the part OF the
Counsel Thomas objected TO going into the
investigation touching any other pubic
buildings. Coleman was surprised at the
persistent efforts on the part of Hill and the
counsel to keep from the people knowledge
of the disposition which had been made OF
the vast sums which they had intrusred him
with. 1t was not question of one fraud,

As the Kentucky election occurs in Au-
gust the candidates for the Governorsip
are compelled to make their canvass dur
ing the warmest months of the year. II
has opened already with much heat and
promises to surpass in vigor and earn
estness any campaign Kentucky has seen
for many years. The republicans are
making good use Of the ammunition their
opponents have placed in their hands.
The backwardness of the State IN all tina,
relates to real progress. the want of a
modern school system, the failure to en-.
force the laws, and the need of good
revenue system are all arguments against
the democrats. The republicans may not
succeed. but they will prove for the first
time doubtless to some of the Bourbons
in the mountains that there is another
party besides the democratic.

There has been lull in Massachusetts
politics for q few weeks past. But this
does not indicate any loss of interest in
the coming Gubernatorial canvass. The
indignation of Buffers opponents reached
boiling point some time since and there is
no sign of IL cooling. The preparations
for the campaign go on steadily but quiet
ly among the Republicans, and If organi-
xation and earnest work can carry the
State it will be done. The Democrats
appear to be doing less work now than =
few months ago. They are completely in
the hands OF Butler and must wait and see
what move he proposes before they make
any plans. 1t is significant that no Dem
ocratic candidate for the Governorship is
named against Butler. The party seems
to expect that he will lead it or pick out
its nominee.

Crooks Prisoners.

Gen. Crook in a telegram in regard to the
disposition of the surrendered Chiric ahuas
says that any attempt to hold them RESPONSE
BILE for their acts before their surrender will
drive them back to the cliffs and gorges of
the mountains, and we shall then have to
fight them until the last one dies, He thinks
they are no worse than the 5000 Apaches put
on the reservation ten years ago; that with
his increased force he could control and dis
cipline this handful of Chiricahuas, and
would have not only soldiers and scouts, but
the valuable assistance of all the other In
dions, who would watch with jealousy the
slightest movement the Chircahuas might
make.
