FORCED TO APOLOGIZE.
The Car Gains Point in Regard tc
the Dardanelles.

The Car Gains Point in Regard to
the Dardanelles.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-Information is tele-
graphed to the Standard of this city
from Constantinople to the effect that
the Porte had yielded to Russia's de-
mands respecting the Dardanelles.
The question at issue between
Russia and the Porte referred
TO the detention at intervals recently of
Russian volunteer fleet steamships
bound for Vladivostock, the eastern
terminus Of the Trans-Siberian Railway,
on the Sea of Japan. The most
recent case was the detention of
the steamer Moscow, Of the Russian
volunteer fleet. Russia claimed that
though those ships were armed they
were outside Of the category of war
ships which are debarred by
treaty of 1871, and confirmed at
London in 1871, and at Berlin
in 1878 for passing through the
Dardanelles. The treaty referred to
was concluded between the five great
powers and Turkey, and poyides that no
ship of war belonging to any action save
Turkey shall pass the Dardanelles with
out the express consent Of Turkey, all
merchant ships being also required to
show their papers to the Ottoman au-
thOritles.
Russia besides claimed that these ves-
sells Of the volunteer fleet were not war
ships in the proper sense Of the word.
The Porte on the ether hand replied
that even we're this admitted to
be q fact, the vessels detained
were war transports since they
hoe rI hnxs
of troops intended for Vladivostock.
TO this Russia replied that the men be-
ing conveyed to the eastern terminus of
the Trans-Siberian Railroad were not
soldiers, but but reservists who were
doing duty as railroad labOrerS.
To these apparently unanswerable argu-
ments from Turkeys powerful enemy
the Porte appears to have been forced
to submit in the most humble manner,
though there is no reason to doubt that
Turkey must have asked the five
powers if they were willing to support
her should she still further contest the
point with Russia. Apparently the
powers have not thought the matter
worth troubling about in 1891, through
ten years back such a demand might
have led to war. And so it is that the
Porte submits, and, besides paying
an indemnity to Russia for
the detention of her steamers,
the precedent is established which will
permit of all such vessels in future being
allowed to pass the Dardanelles in spite
Of the treaty of 1871.
The st. James Gazette this evening
holds that the submission of the Porte
to Russia demands establishes prece-
dent which permits Russian Warships
to use the passage of the Dardanelles
as they please, while the warships of
other nations must not enter those
straits.
The Standards Constantinople CORE
spondent SAYS "The Sultan has yielded
to all Russia's demands respecting the
Dardanelles, which henceforth will be
opened to Russian vessels when closed to
others. The Sultan has abjectly apollo
gized for the recent detention Of q
Russian vessel, and has dismissed the
officers responsible therefor and has
promised an indemnity forthwith"

The Treaty Was Not Rejected.

1t is stated in Washington on good au-
thority that the reported rejection by
the government of Venezuela of the
reciprocity treaty with the United
States was incorrect. The treaty was
not rejected, but the government
Of Venezuela sent it back and
asked that certain notifications
be made for the reason that the conces-
sions contemplated would decrease the
national revenue at least 30 per cent.
This is more than the government can
afford. The Venezuelan government is
willing to concede about one-half the
reduction asked and the negotiations

A FIGHT FOR MILLIONS.
Rel atives of Mrs. Hopkins-Searles File
Notice OF Contest.

AtIVeS
Notice of Contest.
New YOEK. Aug 81. A According to the
World, Edward f. Searlcs will not be al
lowed to enjoy Mark Hopkins millions
without q struggle. Twenty-one new
claimants to Mrs. Hopkins-Searles' estate
have appeared, and notice of contest
was sent to Great Darlington. Several
of the claimants have joined hands with
Timothy Hopkins, and this probably in
duced him to decline recently an offer
of 100000 not to oppose the probate
Of the will. On the contrary, the adopt
ed son Of Mrs. Searles will file on Sep
tcmber II his claims; which will be the
opening wedge for one of the most SEN
k&HOnul will contests on record.
During the past week Lawyer Russell
Wilson, Of San Francisco, representing
Timothy Hopkins, has been in this city
consulting with Butler, Stillman q Hub
bard, counsel for Mr.. Searles. Lawyer
Frank Rogers also notified Mr.. Searles'
lawyers last Thursday of his intention
to contest Mrs. Searles' will on the
ground of insanity and undue influence
by her husband. He represented the
Hubbard family, second cousins OF Mrs.
Searles. He also said he intended join
ing hands with Lawyer Russell Wilson.
1t appears that Mrs. Searles had
many poor relatives whom she OCCASION
ally assisted. Some received a regular
yearly income. "Nou are Just as dear
to me-" she is reported to have said
one day to William H. Hebbard, ''as
the richest OF my acquaintances. You
will all be remembered handsomely in
my will. You are not so numerous that
/ cannot we'll afford to make you large
beGuest."
Mis-. Searles frequently visited her
relatives in New York and Con-
nectcut before her second mar
rage Two intirm cousins, Hair
riet Hebbard and Mrs. Jane Smith,
used to get an annuity of $500.
They were equally shocked with all the
other blood relatives, who had been as
sured of something substantial, when
they heard Mrs. Searles had overlooked
them in her will An annuity of $500
TO Jane Smith and Harriet Hebbard
was stopped, and nothing was left the
other blood relatives.
The contestants have united in two
parties. One wing consists OF the Heb
hards and che other of the Sherwoods,
all being either first or second cousins.
The Hebbards have secured LAWYER
hogers, Of Bridgeport, and will coop
crate with Timothy Hopkins, but the
Sherwoods believe in the merits of their
own case.

and mutiIated body of man. What
looked like another human body was
living near by. Word was Immediately
sent to the board of health and the
coroner's office, and the Mayor issued.
directions that all Of the debris be
cleared away at once.
The news that two more bodies had
been found in the ruins created sur
prise and Indignation i'll all quarters.
Although there were number OF peo-
pie still missing who were reported by
their relatives and friends to have had
business in the fated building, it was
positively stated by Chief Reilly that
there were no more bodies IN the
ruins. When this statement was made
at 30 O. clock Wednesday afternoon it
was taken as official, but there were
those who shook their heads rs to its
accuracy The police are once more in
charge of the ruins, as the news that
two bodies had been found soon
spread and great crowds began
to flock to the scene. The
search will now be continued, and it is
hoped that the authorities will push it
until it is certain that no more bodies
are buried in the mass Of debris which
still marks the spot of tie great dis
aster.
The first BODY discovered is supposed
to be that of Abraham Derkaverltch, Of
141 Delaney Street. He was employed

although at first it looked to be. The
second body is thought to be that of a
man named BEtz, who was also in the
employ of Resented & Co. Two more
bodies are supposed to be underneath
the sidewalk in the vaults, but cannot
be seen.

At Chicago, on the 31st, Catholic
priest, Father Alyward, made raid on
a Chinese opium den. Passing along
Halsted Street not far from his church
he saw two young girls enter apart

Chung. The priest suspected some
thing wrong, went to the place, and
being refused admission promptly
knocked the door down, took a revolver
out of the hands of Wan Chung, the
proprietor, and found the girls in a little

the effects of frost plainly. 1t is hard

where the grain was not cut. The

Damage by Frost Not so Bad as Has Been
Reported.
Elevator experts arriving at st. Paul
from the wheat fields of North Dakota
and Northern Minnesota have made
carful survey of the situation, and re-
port that the damage by the recent frosts
is very much less than indicated by ear
ly dispatches, probably not more than
per cent. in any locality, and the aver
age will not exceed per cent. 1t is
stated the farmers themselves put in
circulation the stories of great damage
TO bull prices. The experts place the
greatest injury in Blocker County,
Mimi, where there are a great many
Indians who put their crops in the
ground so late that the frost caught
their wheat in the milk. The other
Minnesota localities affected are
and Polk counties. In North Da-
kota the only Red River Valley
county to suffer was Pembina. The
heaviest damage was in Stutsman Coun-
ty and the counties of Batteneau,
Calvalier and Ramsey, along the north
ern border, were caught by the.icy visit
ant to considerable extent Nine
tenths of the wheat is now cut, the
threshers are in the fields and the yield
runs from Is to So bushels to the
