ConstGntinople III 1903 was city OF lUJ,-
600 inhabitants. Its shape was that OF
triangle, one side extending along the rock
bound shore OF the sea OF Mafmora, anolh-
er along the gentle banks OF the liver Dos
porus, and the third, six miles in extent,
from water to water-that Is, from river to
sea-inland and facing the territory occu-

barrier to Moslem invasion existed outside
the ancient city walls. The walls were in
two lines, very massive aud formidable to
look at, but not very strong. In front of
the outer wall was ditch lOO feet deep.
The contest did not begin until long
duel of eastern diplomacy had rasped the
tempers of both sides to the lighting point.

years, told his grand viZier, when the latter
urged peace, that the sultan turned ON his

been warned off from Constantinople, as he
thought, by the weak yet valiant emperor,

NJ. Millevoye's Pertinent Inquiries
Excite the Chamber of Deputies
Applauded by Royalists-NI. Reur-
geeis Replies Firmly-A Motion for
Dissolution Falls.
PARIS, March 23-Iu the chamber to-
day Deputy Millevoye argued in sensa-
tional language upon his question as to
what more the government proposed to do
in regard to the Panama case. There was
visible excitement, but On evident purpose
on the part of the opposition to bring
about crisis. Millsyoye was loudly ap.
plauded by royslists and provisionists
when he censured NJ. Rouvier for having,
as he asserted, demanded Panama money
from M. PLASTIC for what WAS claimed to be
government uses. "What right had the
government or one of its Ministers" he
asked, "to demand money under such cir
cumstances" This aroused a clamor,
partly of approval and partly of denuncia-
ton. When this had subsidized NJ Mile.
voye proceeded to ask what had been done

deliberately and replied to NJ. Millevoye.
He began by abiding to the presence in

had been on trial on the charge of accept

chamber" he said, ION seeing certain
members freed from the accusations pre-
sented against them and restored to their
places AS to the case of Cornelius Herr,
the British government has not opposed
the extradition of HeIz, whose state of
health has alone prevented him from being
brought up on extrsdition proceedings. I
depreeate the continuance of this debate
by those aiming to keep up the agitation
until the general elections. Republicans
ought to foil their maneuvre." Cheers
The order of the day was adopted by a
chow of hands, and afterwards there was
another scene. Jules Roche crossed the
and reviled the minister of justice for hav-
ing advised that he (Roche) should be pros
ecuted. N. Bourgeois made no reply, but
maintained a stolid silence, and M. Roche
returned to his seat.
N. de Casenoy de Predine, deputy from
Loir- Inferieure, and member of the ex
treme right, demanded urgency for mo-
ton in favor of the dissolution of the
chamber.
Premier Ribot opposed the motion. The
premier said that there was no reason
whatever for anticipating the regular per-
1od of dissolution and that accord::m must be
kept The right, he added, would lose
nothing by waiting. The country clearly
saw the object of the Panama campaign.
N. La Rochefoucald, monsrchist deputy
from Sarthe, retorted that no member Of
the right had received Panama cheques.

tod by a vote of 314 to 200, thus indorsing

CARLISLR,S PLANS.

Tariff Reformers May Expect Much
Valuable Aid from the Secretary OF
the Treasury - The Reform Clubs
Bill Similar TO Edward Atkinson's
Proposition of 1855 - Estimates of
the Treasury Experts.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary Car
lille, 1t Is stated, intends to give much of
his time this summer to the consideration
of the tariff with a view to SO thoroughly
familiarizlng himself with the subject as to
indicate in general way the outlines for
the formation of tariff bill by the next
democratic house. He in no sense intends
to prepare bill in detail to be submitted
to the ways and means committee from the
house, but rather to be in 9 position to
give all the assistance and information the
committee may need in preparing a bill
that will carry out the spirit of the tariff
plank in the democratic platform. Nearly
every mail that reaches the treasury con-
tains suggestions from statisticisns and
others as to the compilation of tariff
bill. Some thirty or forty of these COM
munications have already been received,
prominent among them being that from
the New York Reform club. The outline
of the New York clubs tariff proposition
| corresponds closely to proposition sub
| mitted in 1885 by Edward Atkinson to
President Cleveland and Secretary Man
ming. That proposition divided the tariff
| as follows: A-Articles of food and ami
mails. B-Articles in q crude condition
which enter into the various processes of
domestic industry. C-Articlss wholly or
partially manufactured for use as material
In the manufactures and mechanic arts.
D-Articles manufactured, ready for con-
sumption. E-Articles of voluntary use,
Injuries, etc.
Since that time the annual report of the
bureau of statietics has contained table
showing the duty collected on each of
these classes of articles. Treasury experts
assert that the proposition of the New
York Reform club places articles of classes
A and wholly on the free list, while
many of the articles In class O are also
placed on the free list. If this statement
be correct the revenue derived from Gus
toms would be decreased by the addition
to the free list Of articles now paying duty
to the amount of SPA, 34s, $50, but might be
increased to some extent by increased Inn
portation of the articles under class O OF
which the duty is reduced. They figure
however, that on the present basis of re
ceipts and expenditures the proposed
changes will result in an annual deficit

BANKERS CAUTIOUS.

Reported Refusal of Spreyer d Co.
to Undertake the Proposed Issue OF
Philadelphia and Reading Bonds.
PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-There is sp-
parently but little ground for the rumor
that Speyer 81 Co. of this city intend to
institute proceedings with a view to the
removal of Mr.. Mcleod as one of the Read
ing receivers.
In view of the now known insolvency OF
the Reading company 1t is understood that
the bankers have decided not to undertake
the extension of the bonds, and have 30
notified the receivers. Their notification
to the receivers is understood to have been
final, and the Reading will have to look
elsewhere If the renewal of the bonds at
per cent. is to be undertaken by bankers
In reference to the So, 000, 900 loan made
by Speyer & Co. the members of that firm
are quoted as expressing entire satisfaction
with the collaterals which they hold, and i
| is regarded in financial circles as highly
