WASHINGTON, D, G., April 7.-The
United States has taken vigorous action
in regard to tho outrages on American
citizens at Marsovan, in the Turkish do
minions, and the violation OF the mails
ofthe United States legation. The facts
OF the case are as follows:
On tho 10th Of January last number
OF seditious placards were distributed
throughout the region Of Marsovan and
Casarea, in the center OF Asia Minor.
On account of alleged sedltious move
ments existing among the Armenians,
the Turkish authorities ascribed the
authorship OF these placards to the
students OF Anatoba College, an Amerl-
can educational institution at Marsoyan.
On the night OF the second OF February
the girls seminary OF this institu-
ton was fred and burned to the
ground. There was strong circumstan-
tial evidence to show that this was done
with the knowledge, ii not by the direct
act of the Turkish officials. The condi-
ton Of the Americans In this place be-
came so serious that the United States
Consul JewGtt was dispatched thIther
from Sivas and the Americans in that
district have been under his protection
ever since. Dispatches passing between
Minister Thompson and Consul Jewett
ut Marsovan have been repeatedly vio-
lated and formal complaint OF this fact
has been made by the American minis.
ter to the sublime porte.
Demands for redress made to the
Turkish authorities were met by Counter
, demands on their sile that the alleged
sedltious movements OF the American
students should first be investigated
and determined upon before any efforts
were made to discover the perpetrators
OF the outrages complained OF.
Secretary Gresham has Cabled to
Minister Thompson at Constantinople q
strong expression Of the Presidents
views on the outrage, and demanding
not only prompt reparation for the
burned seminary, but tho punishment
Of all parties found guilty. in the matter.
Minister Thompson il instructed that
no alleged prior acts OF students are to
affect the rights OF this government in
the premises. Minister Thompson is
charged to give renewed attention to
the matter, and to dispatch u special
messenger II necessary to Consul Jew.
cit aud see to the inviolability OF official
correspondence. The minister is to act
promptly and advise the department by
cable. No effort is to be relaxed in So
curing the legal rights Of our citizens in
Turkey.
1t ia understood to be the policy Of
the United States to make this Mars
ovan incident a test case in our rela.
tions with Turkey.
There are at tho present time more
than 2O0 American citizens residing in
the Turkish empire who have the
managementot OF property to the amount
OF over 100000. Further advices from
Mr.. Thompson arc looked for very
shortly.

Striking Dock LRbOrers Create Trouble
Tho Police Attaoked-A Serious SituR-
tiOn.
LONDON, April IA strike that
threatens to have serious consequences
has been started at Hull, the we'll
known shipping port in Yorkshire.
The shipping companies have been em-
ploying non-unlon laborers loading and
discharging their vessels. This angered
the members OF the dock laborers'
union aud a few days ago the unionists
went on strike.
A large number OF non-union men
went to Hull TO take the places OF
strikers, and work about the docks was
proceeding satisfactorily until to-day,
when the strikers, by threats and
other means OF intimidations succeeded
in completely blocking work on every
vessel in port, excepting the steamer
Montabello, upon which large num-
ber Of non.unionists were employed.
A crowd comprising several thousand
hooting and yelling strikers and their
sympathizers proceeded to the dock
where the Montebello was lying and
made q determined attack upon the
men at work, finally routing them. The
strikers then made an attempt to cap
ture the steamer. In the meantime the
police began to arrive and the strikers
were given orders to disperse, when the
strikers turned upon and iuriously at
tucked them. A severe conflict follow
MI which rnuutIai in tha mnh hninp
driven back and Of the dock. In the
struggle seventeen men were injured.
The strikers then turned their attention
to tho offices OF the shipping fedora
ton, which Is an association OF ship
owners. The police rallied again and
another conflict ensued, The strikers
were forced to retreat and sembIance
OF order was restored. The streets
along the water front arc, however,
filled with strikers angrily discussing
tho situation. 1t is said that the town
officers have asked that soldiers be sent
to assist them in preserving the peace.
The outlook Is serious,
No steamers have been able to get
away to-day except those loaded before
the trouble occurred and the entire
shipping trade ia at a standstill, EX-
element prevails everywhere in the
the town, and the outcome OF the strug-
gle is Anxiously awaited.
The Hull strikers are making an
effort this evening to compromise their
differences with their employers but
their conciliatory proposals have been
rejected. %

New YoRK, April 7.-The disabled
Thinsvalla line steamship Hekla, from
Copenhagen and Christiansaud, with
about 1000 cabin and steerage passen-
gers, was again heard from yesterday.
She was passed about 1926 milee east OF
New York by the steamship Veendam,
which arrived last evening. The Hekla
was coming slowly westward. She
showed no signals, which would indi-
cate that she needed no assistance.
Tho Hokla was spoken on March 27
about 1,25O miles east OF Sandy Hook by
La Normaudie and signaled that she
had broken her shaft and made no rO.
pairs, but needed no help.
It was said to-day at the Office OF
Fuuch, Edge & Company, that tho
Hekla did not refuse assistance which
was offered hero by tho Normandie,
which spoke her on March 30. On the
contrary tho Hekla'a request to the
captain OF the Normandie for tow was
declined, the agent OF tho line declared.

eptCItH DSpuCN W uet ANtttbtNOlF
STEuBENvILLE,. o., April L-The death
Of Township Trustee Eli Smith has so
complicated matters over the election
Of a trustee that the politicians are puz'
zled. Both parties want the Office, The
Republicans to hold on to it and the
Democrats TO get q man on the board to
correct some Of the abuses which have
been and are being practtced in con-
nection with the giving of ordera.
Smith was the Republican candidate aud
although he died Sunday night, as a
dead man defeated bis opponent Angus
tine Bickerstuff by big majority. The
case Is without precedent-a dead man
running for Office and being elected
but the Republicans did not have time
under the Australian ballot Law, to GER
THY to new candidate and get his
name on the ticket Now they
are claiming that Smith was
elected because tho election
board was not officially notified Of
Smiths decease, and the voters could
not pass on the case. They are claim
ing that Smiths death creates q vacancy
and to carry out this side OF the ques.
ton to-day the township officers did
something which besides having D
novel side, like case has never oc-
cured before. They gave the certificate
OF Smiths election into the hands Of
the constable and he took 1t to Smiths
house, where he left it, and II Smith
does not appear personally to be quail
fed, then they will declare the office
vacant, but there ia very little choice in
the matter for Republicans, as in case Of
q vacancy Democratic justice appoints
and 1t Is not likely he will appoint
Republican, but the Republicans prefer
Democrat by appointment for ono
year to one elected for three years.
The Democrats on the other hand
hold that inasmuch as death vaeates an
office 30 does it vacate candidacy, and
that Bickerstatl was the only person
that was running. They also hold that
the courts hold that an ineligible man
cannot be elected to IN office and no
man is more ineligible than dead
man. They are backing Bickerstafi to
demand o certificate of election and
show proofs Of Smiths death before
election day. Secretary OF State S. NJ.
Taylor or the courts may be appealed
to 10 settle the vexed question. The
matter is attracting o great deal OF at.
tention all over the state.
Besides being elected To an Office
after death, Smith has also been legally
dead for years. lie was one of the
Oldest men who enlisted in the army,
enlisting at fitty-seven years. He was
mado hospital wardmaster at Young's
Point, near Vicksburg, where he was
taken sick aud reported dead on May
20, 1858, and so recorded on the roster.
When no applied for pension spe'
cial agent was sent here from Wash.
ington 10 SEQ about "that man ELI
Smith who was after a pension"
Smith was pointed out to the agent
by James Trotter, Of this city, who was
orderly sergeant in Smiths company.
Without further investigation the
agent went back to Washington, and in
few days Smith got his pension.
Smith always took a grim delight in
the fact that, although alive, he has
been officially dead for thirty years.

lasted until 6 O'Clock when 1t was
broken by heavy hail storm which
passed over the southern portion Of the

These statements the female preacher
kept to herself until within the last few

who is implicated. He made 1t after
hearing a sermon by Mrs. Olmstead In
the United Brethren church at Madi-

last Sunday evening. The fact has

husbands being implicated, but
maiden women, and in case daughter
and her mother.
