Nov. 6.-The ambassa- dors of the great powers in their repre- sentations to the porte yesterday, urging the adoption of adequate measures to bring about the restoration of order In various parts of Turkey, where there are constantly recurring disturbances to the detriment of Christians of all nations, failing which the powers would decide In concert what steps should be taken, made reference to the circumstances Of the intervention of the powers in syria at the time of the massacres there In 1860. The consul reports receiVed at Constantinople in connection with the Diarbekir disturbances describe the Kurds as having been commanded by the Sheikh of Zeilan, who was implicated In the massacres at Sassoun. The Kurds, un- der command of the Sheikh, it is alleged, entered the town and began an indiscrlm- mate massacre of the Christian lnnapl- tants pilaging and burning the Chris tan quarter. The Catholic and Armen- ian bishops at Diarbekir made nasty escape, these reports say, and the French consul was in imminent danger

MOBILE.
Important Meeting of Lumber Dealers in
 the Gulf City.

the Gulf City.
 Mobile, Nov. 6.-(Special)-An impor- tant meeting of the lumber exporting mills of the gulf coast was held here to- day. About twenty-five of the largest manufacturing concerns, extending from Beaumont, Tex. to Apalachicola, Fla, were represented. These mills furnish the greater part of lumber exported from the United States and practically con- trol the yellow pine export business. The entire day was consumed in discussion as to the best methods for controlling the output and price of lumber for export. It was finally decided to form an associa- ton, and a committee on organization was appointed to report at the morning session. The manufacturers claim that as the business is at present conducted the merchants and foreign houses, through New York brokers, control the price at which lumber is sold and that they are consequently unable to obtain a reasonable profit on their operations Delegates are here from Texas, Louis jana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

nADISON LAKE ALIVE.

The business men of Madison Lake
seem to be wide awake. At the last
meeting of their board of trade sew
eral important matters were dis
cuSsed. An estimate was received for
the construction of telephone line
to connect Mankato, Waterville and
Madison Lake, the amount being
placed at 1900. 1t twas thought that
this was too much money, and that a
line could be secured on more reason
able terms. A proposition was re-
ceived from man who offered to
build $4,000 grist mill of sixty bar
rels capacity for 81 900 bonus. Another
man offered to build a sixty-barrel
mill TO cost $4,000 without a bonus, 1t
was reported that the M. s. St. l..
road was willing to put in a stock
yard.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Lincoln'S Birthday Holiday Bill
Repealed to Take Effect
Next Year.
SUFFRAGE FOR THE WOMEN.
Measure introduced in the
House With That End
In View.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-THE senate held
morning and afternoon sessions. 1t &C
complished "a large amount Of work,
although much time was devoted to de-
batting matters that would seem to the
public of little Importance. A large
part of the time spent on the calendar
was lost in killing a bill designed to fix
at 10 per cent the rate of interest on
judgments of justice courts during a
stay Of execution. In the afternoon,
and while the senate was sitting as
committee of the whole full hour was
consumed in discussing the number of
signers to a petition an independent
candidate should secure in order to en-
title him to have his name printed OIL
the official ballot.
The senate repealed the law making
Tuesday, Lincoln's birthday, a legal
holiday, and then passed another bill
making it holiday, commencing in
1896.
Several Measures Passed.
The bill prohibiting all pool selling
bookmaking Or betting on the races
passed without opposition. The bill de-
signed to reverse the Rand ordinance of
Minneapolis, which allows only police
officers to complain Of violations of the
liquor and gambling laws, was passed
after some opposition. The Judiciary
committee did not know exactly what
to do with Senator Ozmun's anti-foreign
flag resolution. The thing seemed
loaded at both ends; so, after wrestling
with it for short time, its considera-
ton was postponed. The bill appro-
priating $25O,OOO for the payment Of
bonds issued in 1889 was also passed.
Some New Bills.
By Cronkhite-To provide for the use of
stone in public buildings; said stone must
be quarried in the state.
BY Miller-To amend section 16, chapter
II, general statutes 1878, as subsequently,
amended, relating to taxation of bicycles
By Johnson, A. G.-To change the
name of the Minnesota state reform
school to the state training school for boys
and girls.
By Morgan-To amend chapter 2S3,
general laws 1889, relating to the inspec-
ton of steam vessels and boilers, and pro-
viding for board of inspectors.
By Morgan-To prevent corrupt prac-
tices in elections and to limit candidates
expenses.

! as did Abraham Lincoln. 1t does
much to spread patriotism and build
up a better and nobler citizenship,
and among the list of great names
there can be found no higher ideal for
this purpose than Lincoln.
The life of Lincoln distinctly illus
trates the influence a man may have
long after he has passed away, upon
the people to the extent which his
personality was known during his life
time. And on this score a recent
writer well says:
A distinguished citizen is not lost to
his country when he dies, strictly
speaking. The service that he rem
dered while living continued to be adj
vantageous, and the memory of his eX-
ample is a permanent source of IN
SpiratiOn. In some instances, per-
Sonal fame is thus materially increased
and a noted name acquires more
| potency with a succeeding generation
| than it had with the one to which it
is directly related. 1t is not too much
to say that every truly great figure in
the affairs OF country is sure to sur
viVe in this sense and to be effective
for the future. We know that certain
illustrious characters retain their i'm
pOrtance from age to age and help to
solve intervening problems by virtue
of their relation to the philosophy of
civilization. The man dies, but his
works live after him. He becomes a
part OF the procession of interdepend-
ent occurrences which make up the
story of general development and pro-
gress, and the things that he said and
did, the words in which his superior
facilities were manifested, come to
have fixed and practical value. He
calls to the present from out of the
past with recognized authority, and
his messages are treated with the
kind OF respect that settles disputed
points and determines the course of
public opinion and sentiment.
To no name of the past does this ap-
ply with greater force than it does to
that of Lincoln. The vision of the
sad, kindly face rises up before the
present, and his influence seems to be
as potent with his countrymen, as it
was in the dark days of the war. He
always held the union of states as a
priceless jewel to be maintained at
any cost, and this deep-rooted senti-
ment of his passing out upon the COM
ing generations will always stand as
an inspiration to help ward off all
dangers which may rise to the re-
public. The increasing attention
paid to the anniversary of his birth, is
matter foI general congratulation.

A GREAT MANS INFLUENCE.

There has seemingly more attention
been paid to the observance of Lin
coins birthday this year than ever
before. From all over the country
came the reports of the doings on that
day, and not the least gratifying was
the fact, that many prominent
southerners who took part in the late
war, joined in these observances. 1t
augurs we'll for the republic when it
so generally and earnestly remembers
it's great patriots, especially one who
stood SO closely to the common people
