WASHINGTON Aug. 2D.--Constantino-
pie dispatches stating that the burning
of the house of Rev. Dir. Bartlett, the
American missionary, at lIourdour, Asia
Minor, for which prompt rcparation has
been demanded by the United States,
has been traced to the carelessness of
an American servant are quite ut vari-
ance with reports made by the Ameri-
can board of commissioners for foreign
missions and transmitted, to the state
department, and are also contradicted
by the dispatches from Mr.. Pcndlcton
King, the American charge d'affaircs at
Constantinoplc. The experience Of the
American legation in Turkey. in the
ease of numerous preceding outragcs of
n like character has been that the facts
in each case have been met by denials
from Said Pashn, the Turkish minister
of justice, sometimes in face of clear
est proof. and some plausible excuse.
like that made in the present in
stance, has been assigned to cX-
plain away the occurrence. Minister
liitischc has more than once put on
record in his official dispatches to the
state department, that though the
grand vizier and the minister of for
cign affairs of Turkey wera willing to
do Justice to American citizens when
wrongcd, Said Pasha, by misrcpresent-
ing the facts to the sultan, has delayed
redress, The present explanation of
the Bartlett outrage is regarded as Il
repetition of Said pusha's ndroit man
cuvers TO defeat the ends Of justice and
to shield Moslem offenders against the
treaty rights of Christians.
II is understood that the explanation
will not delay the pcrcmptory orders
given to the guuhoats Newark and BEN
nington to proceed from Genoa to Turk
ish waters rs soon as possible after the
| Columbus celebration of the lst instant,
| TO support the demand for rcparation.
| MONEY FOR THE MOVEMENT OF THE CRors.
The demand for money to move the
crops began apprcciably on the first
of the present month. 1t is now
very near its highest tide. Since Au-
| gust the treasurer has sent out be-
| tween q. 900, 900 and $1,000. 600 in small
notes for use in various parts of the
| country, principally in the west, north
| west, south and southwest. The de-
| nominations of these notes have been
| ones, twos. thrccs and fves. They are
! silver certificates, United States notes
| and United States treasury notes. The
| principal demand just now is from
! Texas and Louisiana, while Iowa and
| Nebraska lead the group of states in
which they are located.
| Mr.. Whclpley, the acting secretary
| of the treasury says that the demand
| for money to move the crops compared
very favorably this year with the last.
| This despite the fact that the banks in
| the west and southwest were, when
! the demand first began to be felt,
| pretty we'll supplied with money Of the
denominations needed Moneys is being
sent this year, he continued, at much
lower rate than ever before. To all
| points cast Of the Mississippi it costs
but fifteen cents per 81 900. There is
no regular rate for. that portion of the
country west of the river, but it is very
much lower than it was last year or
| any previous time in the history of
the treasury. Heretofore Transports
tiun of notes for use in the crop move
mcnt has cost from seventy-iivc cents
to sl.25 per 81 900
