MINOR MATTERS.
Secretary Manning Will Submit His Tariff
Correspondence to Congress.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Although greatly dis
appointed at the result Of his researches Secre-
tary Manning has determined to lay before Con-
gress, in pamphlet form, the letters he received
from people throughout the country on tariff re-
form. They represent every possible idea of
tariff matters. and will make interesting little
volume. Two-thirds of the expressions received
were against reduction of the tariff, and very
many of them proposed an increase upon num-
erous articles. Secretary Manning believes it is
useless to talk about reduction of the tariff if
the masses are to be consulted, because they are
largely against it. The fact of his making
known such of the expressions received as he
may wish to publish is considered more Of a
compulsory matter than anything else. 1t
would be impolitc to keep them secret

ital in great numbers to-day. The silver ques
ton naturally comes to the front There is
growing impression that many Republicans who
voted for the silver bill will be ready this ses-
sion TO back thesPresident in his recommended
tions. The radical silver men are very anxious
and determined but there is a noticeable differ
in the tone of their argument. 1t was
maintained by Messrs. Bland, Hatch Reagan
and Others last spring. that there should be no
legislation whatever on the subject. Mr.. Hatch,
who declares himself to be even more radical
than Mr.. Bland admitted to your correspondent
this morning that something would probably be
done. "f the President makes reasonable rec
concentrations" he said, they will be respect
fully considered, but the most that will be done
will be to decrease the coinage" At the same
time he declared that 'the country would not
tolerate any legislation against silver"

TURKISH NEUTRALITY.

FOrtificatiOns Being Erected to Keep the
Belligerents Out OF the DardanelIes.
CONsTANTINOPLE, April 29.-All the
powers have, through their representa-
tiyes, verbally urged Turkey to maintain
a state of neutrality in the event of war
between England and Russia. NJ. Nell
dof, the Russian Ambassador, has had
special audience with the Sultan. In this
the Russian statesman insisted that it
was absolutely necessary for the Porte
to maintain strict neutrality in case of an
AnglO-RussIan war. German officers are
at present engaged in inspecting the forts
along the Dardanelles. The Porte is rap
idly erecting fresh defensive works on the
BosphOrus. The Sultan has ordered the
heights of Therapia to be fortified.
Turkish agents have been sent abroad
to purchase torpedo boats on
the Sultan's account. The Porte on Sun
day last telegraphed to Berlin a request
to Prince Bismarck for his opinion upon
the AnglO-Russian situation and the atti-
tude proper for Turkey to assume towards
those powers if they 90 to war. 1t is
stated that the German Chancellor
promptly responded 70 this request, but
the nature Of his response has not vet

Bismarck'S rpDiV.
