All American Meat Products To BE Pro-

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 8-The Porte re-
Gently informed General Wallace, United
States Minister, that the commercial treaty
between Turkey and America would ter
IN nate March 13, 1884 The Turkish tariff
expired on the same date the present year.
After the termination of the treaty the i'm
pcristion of all American meats, lard and
similar produce will be prohibited. The
Porte virtually increased the duties on
spirits by compelling storage at Smyrna, and
also maintains his demand relative to the
storage OF petroleum. No American dele
gate has been appointed to negotiate with
Turkey concerning a new tariff, although
the appointment of the same has
been twice requested. General Wallace
protested that the measures are arbitrary,
and claims that American goods under the
treaty of 1880 are entitled to the same treat
nient as the most favored nations In rela-
ton to the protests of General Wallace, it
may be said chat the Porte was desirous of
making new tariff on the basis of per
cent. advalorem duty, but the powers OBJ
jected on the ground that the tariff was not
alterable until the expiration of the CONNER
cial treaties. The Porte pointed out that this
was impracticable, as the treaties expired on
various dates. Almost all the ambassadors
recognized the validity of this argument and
consented to appoint delegates to effect an
arrangement of the tariff The relations be-
tween the Sultan and General Wallace con-
tinue friendly. The former ordered the pay
ment of all private claims of Americans on
Turkey, and claims amounting to 43s, 900
have been already paid.

Argument Closed in the starRoute Case.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-Mr. Merrick con-
tinued his address in the star-route case, con-
fning his remarks for the most part to the
question of division of routes. He main
tanned that no division of the plunder could
free the defendants from the crime COM
mitted, or terminate the conspiracy, and de-
clared that the proof was incontrovertible of
a complete division on April l, 1879. If he
had established the existence of a conspiracy
on that day, he had conformed to the charge
in the indictment. He closed his argument
in the star-route case, and court adjourned
until Monday. 1t is believed the case will
go to the jury on Tuesday afternoon.

Mr.. Miner on His Latest Contract.

WASHINGTON, June S.-John R. Miner, one
of the defendants in the pending star-route
cases, who figured as contractor for mail serv-
ice on the Fort Niobrara route, which Sena-
tor Van Wyck is opposing, says, in an inter-
view that he was the lowest bidder for the
service when the route was advertised in
March last and he then filed with the de-
partment certified check for 5000 to secure
the contract, but at that time, owing to the
criticisms of Senator Van Wyck. the depart
ment determined not to award the contract
for service, and returned his check. After
ward, he says, he was informed by the de-
partment officials that they would put on
the service, and again he deposited his check,
and the contract was sent to him at the
courthouse, where he was attending the
star-route trials, and executed there, with
Vaile, another defendant in the present
cases, as his security

How Diamonds Are Cut.

Cleveland Herald
There are three processes necessary to be
gone through with between the rough stone
and the diamond as you see it here" replied
the jeweler First piece of stone the re-
qured size must be cut Off TO do this we
use Il circular saw made of sheet iron and
without teeth 1t is worked like wood
workers saw, and two men stand at the
treadle. One man holds the stone to be cut
tightly against the edge of the saw. while the
other, using small leather dipped in OIL
applies diamond dust to the edge of the saw.
The saw is made of very ductile metal, and
the particles of diamond dust becoming
firmly set in it, soon wear through the hard
est stone. Now the piece of diamond passes
to the cutting table, upon which
is strapped a wheel running parallel to tina
top of the table. The stone is fastened by
cement to the end of a stick six inches long
The lapldary takes the stick in his right
hand and holds the stone firmly against tho
wheel until one facet is ground down. Dia-
mond dust and water are constantly applied
to the wheel. The table and upper facets of
the stone are cut this way, and the stone is
then emoved from and readjusted to the
stick before the lapidary cuts the under
sides, callets and remaining facets. The
stone is manipulated the same in the third
or polishing process as in the cutting pro,
cess. The wheel, however, is composed
mainly of tin, and tripoli and rotten stone
are used in the polishing process"

SPECULATION IN wAsHTNGTON.

It is not very pleasant to think that Con | gressmen use their positions as a help to suc- cessful speculation in Wall street, but there Washington broker has been talking about this matter, and what he said is interesting and significant.
 This broker can always tell when anything has been done in committee which is liable to affect stocks, because orders to buy or sell come streaming in on him from Senators, members, committee clerks, lobbyists and correspondents who have been sslet in on the ground floor" His firm has accounts on it's books with persons whose names even the confidential clerks do not know, as the slight est hint regarding their identity might mean political ruin and disgrace. Orders are given and received under cover. And if the books of the firm should by any chance be brought before an investigating committee it would be discovered that it did business with ttGood Luck" "Fairweather,' 'Silver Linine,'' Gotham" and other individuals equally dis tinguished. 'sIf, !" said the broker, ssthese mysterious personages are chairmen of con- gressional committees, high department of-

 According to this talkative broker the pub- lie would be as.onished beyond measure if the names of some of those who dabble in stocks in Washington should become known. s'Men, D he said, 'tyou would think as inno- cent of a knowledge of the ways of specula- tion as unborn babes give orders that would make your eyes bulge with surprise.

 Naturally, having seen what he has seen, 1 this broker has learned to distrust the hon. ssty of the generality of statesmen of svery degree.
