THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.

washington, Nov. 26--The edict per-
manently excluding all American news
papers from Turkey as announced by
the Associated Press cable from Con-
sltantlnople, has not been officially COM
municated to the Turkish legation
here. Secretary Norighian Effendi ex7
pressed surprise that the edict should
have scope as to be permanent exclu-
sion to the American press. and he
thinks the report may prove overdrawn
in this respect. There is a press censor
ship in Turkey. he said, similar to that
conducted in most European countries.
The reason for the order of exclusion
Is doubtless to be found in the fact
-hat American papers at present abound
with long articles descriptive Of the
outriages alleged to have been perpe-
trated on the Armenians and reports Of
mass meeting held by active Arme-
nian agents in the United States to
protest against these atrocities. The
Turkish government is properly appre-
henedve that the free circulation Of
such literature in the disaffected pro-
vinces may stir up open rebellion, the
outcome of which, In the present tenn
per of Europe 1t would be difficult to
forecast. So far as the Armenians are
concerned, our government can do moths
ing for them, no matter how much 1t
may be disposed to alleviate the for
tunes Of these native christians. Great
European powers are bound by treaty
10 protect them, and they will unques-
tionably strongly resent any interfer-
emce by the United States In the line
of suggestion as to their duty In the
matter. So the resolutions which are
being directed to the president by sym
pathetic mass meetings held in various
cities are likely to be OF 10 avail, save,
perhaps, to direct the attention OF the
civilized world to the miserable state
of the Armeniang

THE ITALY-BRAzIL RuMoR.

Washington, Nov. 26.--Nothing Is
known officially here Of the reported
trouble between Italy and Brazil, which
is said to have reached a phase SO
acute that Italy threatened to send a
fleet Of war vessels to Brazil to enforce
her demands. But 1t Is known from
unofficial sources that the two gov
ernments have been at odds for many
years, owing to a demand made by
the italian government for indemnity
for the mRltreatment OF a number Of
Italian subjects and the destruction Of
their property in the course OF riots in
Rio Janeiro. The question at issue IL
cne Of the amount Of indemnity rather
than Of principle.

A NEW STEAMER LINE.
The Great Northern VIII Put An Ocean
Flyer between Portland and
San Francisco.

San Francisco. Nov. 26.-P. P. Shelby,
assistant general traffic manager of the
Greet Northern, in Seattle, is in the
city. He says that traffic arrange
ment has been effected between the
Great Northern, the o. r. and N. Co.,
and the Southern Pacific, by which
passengers can be ticketed through to
Eastern points from San Francisco by
way of Portland, AMI also westward
over the same lines. The Great Mr..
thern is preparing to compete for bus
mess between San Francisco and Port
land by inaugurating fast steamer
service between the two ports which
will rival the speed by rail- For this
purpose a new steamer is being built
with speed of 25 knots, on the same
lines as the Northwest, now operated
by the company on the lakes between
Duluth and Buffalo.

THE STUART SYNDICATE.
Their Bid Secures the s5OOOO,Ooo Bond

Washington, Nov. 2G.-seoretary Car
Isle decided to accept the Stewart
syndicate bid for the entire issue Of
$50, 900. 600 bonds. The figure offered by
the syndicate was l17.O77. The proceeds
Of the bonds under this bid will be
s4s.5l7.62 greater than they would be
II the other highest bids were accepted.
A very important advantage to the gov
eFnment in accepting this bid is the
fact thai all the gold win be furnished
outside and none drawn from the treas
ury. 1t is also more convenient and
less expensive TO deal with one party
rather than with SO many.
