TROUBLE WITH TURKEY.
Secretary Gresham Demands Reparation
for Outrages on Americans.

WASHINGTON. April THE United
States has taken vigorous action in re-
gard 10 the outrages on American citizens
at Marsovan. in the Turkish dominions.
and the violation of the mails of the
United States legation. The facts of the
case are as follows: on the 10th of jan
uary last a number of seditious placards
were distributed throughout the region Of
Marsovan and Caesarea in the centre Of
Asia Minor, on account Of the alleged Sc
ditious movements existing among the
Americans. The Turkish authorities as
cribed the authorship Of these placards
10 the students Of Anatoba College, an
American educational institution at Mar
sovan. On the night OF the 2d OF Febru-
ary the girls seminary. of this institu-
tion, was fired and burned to the ground.
There was strong circumstantial evidence
TO show that this was done with the full
knowledge Of IL not by direct act OF the
Turkish officials. The condition OF Ameri-
cans in that place became so critical that
United States Consul Milo A. Jewett was
dispatched thither from Sivas. and the
Americans in that district have been un-
der his protection ever since. The dis
patches passing between Minister Thomp-
son and Consul Jewett at Marsovan have
been repeatedly violated. and formal COM
plaint OF this fact has been made by the
American Minister to the Sublime Porte.
The demands for redress made 10 the
Turkish authorities were met by counter
demands on their side that the alleged
seditious movements Of the American
students should be first investigated and
determined upon before any efforts were

THE THREE C's RAILWAY.
A Scheme on Foot to Effect an Early Conn
pIetion Of the Line.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, April lit was
learned to-day that there is strong pro-
liability OF the early completion OF the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago rail-
road. A syndicate has been formed Tor
that purpose, and definite offer has been
made to the present owners OF the COM
pany's securities, chief among whom are
the Finance Company Of Pennsylvania
and the Investment Company OF Phila-
delphia. The offer made 10 the Finance
COMPANY was accepted to-day at a meet
ing OF the board Of directors and SINH
lar offer will be considered by the direc-
tors OF the Investment Company WITHIN
a few days. The terms Of the proposition
nave not yet been made public, but II Is
said to be a very favorable one for the
security holders.
The scheme is understood TO include the
formation OF a new company to complete
the road. the capital for this purpose To-
be furnished by the syndicate. The se-
curities Of the Three C's Will be surren-
dered by their present owners, who VIII
receive in return the securities Of the new
corporation.
Certain guarantees will. IL is stated. be
given 10 the Investment and Finance
companies. and they will be amply se-
cured from all possibility OF loss other
than has already been incurred. The
Immediate effect of the exchange Of Sc
curities will be the transformation OF
what have always been unavailable and
almost valueess assets TO an investment,
which at least promises future returns.
The names OF those who comprise tho
syndicate nave not been given, but a
number of these are Southerners with
large interests in the area, which the
Three C's when completed will traverse.
Nearly half Of the issues Of bonds were
divided between the Finance and Invest
ment companies. the sale being conducted
by the firm Of Barker Brothers. a fact
which recently led 10 certain charges
being made against Wharton Barker by
the Finance Company's directors.
