TOO THIN AN EXCUSE.
Pasha OF Turkey Manouvers Adroiily
10 Defeat Justice.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Constanti-
nople dispatches stating that the burn
ing of the house of Rev. DR.. Bartlett,
the American missionary, at Brodour,
Asa Minor, for which prompt repara-
tons mas been demanded by the United
States, h as5een traced 20 the careless
ness of an American servant are quite
at variance with reports made 10y the
American board of commissioners for
foreign mission and transmitted 70 the
state department and are also contra
dlcted 10y these dispatches received
from Mr.. Pendleton King, the Ameri-
can charge in the "atfslrs st Constan-
tInople." The experience OF the
American legation 10 Turkey IN the
case of numerous preceding outrsges
OF ike character has been that the
facts ID each case have been met by
q enlais from said Pasha, the Turkish
minister Of justice, sometimes ~ face
of the clearest proof, and some plausl-
bio excuse, like that IN the present IN
stance has been assigned 10 explain
away the occurrences.
Minister HIrsch has moro thsn once
put on record IN bis official dispatches
to the state department that though
the minister OF foreign affairs Of Tur-
KEY was willing 10 do justice 10 Amer
icsn citizens when wronged, SAID Pashs
by misrepresenung the facts 10 the sul-
tan, had delayed redress. The present
explanation" Of the Bartlett outrage
is regarded as a repetition of said Pa
sha's adroit manouvors TO defeat the
ends of justice and to shield the offend
ers against the treaty rights Of Christ
ians. II is understood that the explain
alton will not delay the preempt0sy
orders given 10 the gan boats Newark
and Bennington 70 proceed from Ge-
n0a 10 Turkish waters a. soon as pos
sible after the Columbus celebration OF

LANSING, Aug. 2S.-Attorney General
Ellis went TO Rogers City, Presque Isle

Adjutant General Farrod today an
nounced that the government escort to
the dedlcat0ry ceremonies IT The
worlds tair in October would consist Of
twelve companies o. state troops. Ten
have already accepted, positively, and
four others are almost persuaded" "
1t has not been decided how many men
each company will have, but should
more than twelve companies accept
the terms offered, they viii be cOnsoll-
dated and the escort thus organized be
divided into three battaAOns.
Tue worlds fair commission furnish
quarters and ratlons after the troops
arrive at Chicago, but each company
furnishes Its own transportation.

Troublesome Building Inspectors.
"Besides all these little diversions we
have the building inspectors 10 contend
with. Now, Pm not SAYING, under

among them, men that discharge the
duties of their Office lmpaItially and
thoroughly. But. it must be confessed
that good many OF them are political
creations, and IN common with the
| class are hard drinkers. IL has been
my fate TO run against this sort, with
very few exceptions. They have a sys-
| temetlc course Of proceeding that, at
| first, did not understand. My first
| professional acQua ntance of this type

said. The cheapest thing you can do
is to pay the man $50 and get him TO
go away. 1t will cost you less, in the
end, than tp stop your workmen for
| two or three days And although II
| looked mighty like com pounding a

did pay him, and my men continued
work without further interruption.
This accounts, probably, for the quality
of some of the inspecting and the
collapses we hear of every little while.

COTTON CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
Manufacturers Endeavor to Foist the
Losses On the Operatives.

LoNDoN, Aug. 2s.-The crisis in the
cotton trade Is increasing in gravity.
The loss sustained IN the operation OF
certain plants amounts from One-fourth
10 three-eighths of q penny IN the
pound. The operatives refuse to ac-
cept reduction in wages. and NAM
tam reduced output is the proper rem
edy. The influential Cotton Factory
Times, commenting on the proposal for
short time with reduced wages, says it
believes that II the workers had been
consulted at the outset they would have
accepted II.

deprecates such an effort and holds
that experience teaches tnat employers
aud employed must cooperate in
reaching a modus vivendi sooner or
later. Il urges employers 10 secure
the good will of the workers at once,
believing the employers viii be willing
TO assist IN minimizing the disaster. If
the course had been pursued early the
