The GREAT POWERS ARE TIRED
OF the Frequent Disturbances in
the Turkish Empire,
And Have Jointly Urged the Porte 20 Take
Immediate Steps For the Reatorat,on
OF Order, or They, Acting in Concert.
Would Take the Matter in Hand-N,
Definite Reply Was Received.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 6.-The report
that the ambassadors OF the powers.
owing to the recurring disturbances in
various parts OF the Turkish empire.
went to the porte and urged that i'm
mediate and adequate measures for the
restoration OF order be taken, ia con-
hrmed in official circles. The repre-.
sentatives Of the powers declared that
otherwise,the powers, acting in concert,
would take their own steps in the mat
ter and the Turkish minister for foreign
affairs, Said Pashs, was requested to
state what steps the porte intends to
take in order to terminate the present
state Of ansrohy.
1t is added that the ambassadors
called the most serious attention OF the
porte to the condition of affairs in
Anstolia, which they view with anxiety,
and reminded the Turkish governments
OF the convention of the powers In
Syria at the time of the massacres OF
1860, and asked what measures the
Turkish authorities proposed to take to
re establish order. No definite replv
on this subject has been received,
although the ambassadors were assured
that everything possible would be done
TO restore order. But assurances of this
nature have been so repeatedly given
that very little faith Is placed in them
and 1t will require definite statements
and proofs OF the willingness OF the
turkish government to maintain order
to satisfy the ambassador.

FEW Of the Republicans of town who at
tion that the Democrats exercise This has
often been remarked and is again brought to
mind by recent developments in connection
with affairs on the School Board. One of
the Democratic members recently remarked
to a Republican member: 'You people are
foolish. We Democrats often have our spats,
but you never find us carrying our party
troubles before the School Board, or laying
them open for public inspection" There is
excellent advice as well as reproof in this
and Republican members of the present and
future should preserve it as a valuable hint
for reference Although the present majority
on the School Board has been together but
little over two months il has several times
dangerously approached the rocks of
dissension ON account of some of the mem
hers ventilatiug differences Of opinion in such
manner as to admit outside interference,
and thus bringing about "A widening of
breaches that could have been very easily
and amicably closed if kept within the proper
sphere. This has become especially promi-
nent in connection with the question of fill
ing a vacancy in the corps of teachers. 1t
has been made a campaign likened to battles
that attend the filling of ward offices, People
of good judgment have always maintained
that the less public school affairs are publicly
identified with political deals the better they
prosper and advance in the estimation of the
people, 1t is hoped all the School Directors
will bear this in mind and that there
will be less wire pulling in the future than
there has been in the recent past, and if
there should be any such work that an effort
viii be made to give it as little publicity as
possible,

of the Spanish cabinet regarding the pay

officially he could state that the decision
of the cabinet settles question which has
been pending since July II. On June 1s,
Senior de LONE stated, the Spanish min

fore the cabinet council, and after several
meetings had been held it was decided to
pay the claim. The queen signed the order
in council July II, but the matter Of de-
tails, such as time of payment, actual
amount to be paid, interest, etc., were
left to be decided by the cabinet.

WASHINGTON Aug. 14.-A negro boy,
Campbell Hall by name living with
Rose and William Hammond, also col
ored, died here on Monday under circum-
stances so suspicious that the coroner de-
cided upon an inquest, which was held
yesterday, resulting in the holding of the
Hammonds to the grand jury. The evil
dence showed that the boy virtually died
from brutal treatment, and that his life
was insured in favor of Rose Hammond
in the sum Of $50 The fact was also de.
veloped that the Hall boys brother, who
also lived with the Hammonds and who
was insured in the woman's interest foI
5000, had died there about two months
ago, and that they have another Negro
boy now living with them, who is also in
sured for Mrs Hammond's benefit.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ID, 1895.
A FEW CoNJECTUREs.

The latest report of am intention to COM
plctc the chain of electric railways by the
construction of line between Ashland and
Ccntralia seems better founded than the
many others that have gained circula-
tion, and the completion of the chain now
appears an accomplishment of the near future.
What bearing the completion Of such line
will have upon the steam railroad traffic be
tween this point and Mt. Carmel and Shamo-
kin cannot be reliably estimated at the pres
ent time, but it is not likely that it will seri-
ously effect it until such time as the electric
trains, with only one or two stopping
places in each town. The effect on short
distances will be quite different however
The new line, or link, will be a boon to the
people of Centraia and Ashland, as the
the only means of travel is by foot, horse or
the steam line of railroad, which necessitates
Junction and switch back The import
ance of direct line between the two
points is obvious. 1t may be predicted
with safety that several years will
elapse before the electric railways will be
in a position to successfully compete with
the steam for through traffic between Shen-
andoah and Shamokin, or Mt. Carmel. At
the present time the old lines make the run
between the points in one hour and thirteen
minutes, and, including the walk from Ash
land to Cenualia, almostif not fully three
hours time is required to make the journey
by the electric lines. The new link certainly
cannot make up the difference in time against
the electric lines, as the distance is compara-
lively short and the gain must be made in
some other manner. This will involve vast
field of Improvement In the first place. ii
is extremely doubtful if the present construc.
ton of the Schuylkin Traction line.
is such as to permit the operation OF
an express line. Additional power
stations, heavier rails, better road beds
less curves and kicks, and score or more
of other alterations and Improvements would
enter into considerations and, judging from
the time that has been required to get the
lines as they are in operation, the twentieth
century will be IA few years old before tn,
stockholders of the steam railroads will b,
obliged to find out where they are at
Nevertheless, this is an electrical age anC
there may be something in store which w
cannot conjecture. The recent consolidation
of the Westinghouse and Baldwin peopl
may yet have "A direct bearing on the matter
Who can tell? But should such prove tn
case, it is very likely that electrical locomO
tives will be placed on the steam railroad
and then the electric roads now under con
sideration will never become a formidabl
competitor.

TO SETTLE THE MORA CLAIM.
But as Spain Declines to Pay Interest, the
Settlement May be Refused.


MADRID, Aug. 14.-At a meeting of the
cabinet ministers it was decided to pay
the Mora claim in lump sum in Septem-
Der without interest.
WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-Mr. Nathaniel
Paige, who is Mr. Mora's attorney here,
when shown the Madrid dispatch ex-
pressed qualification, but said he did not
believe the United States government
would agree to the settlement of the claim
without interest. "To do that" said he,
would be to fatty ignore the instructions
of congress, which were to collect both
principal and interest"
Mr.. Paige added that he, as Mr.. Mora's
lawyer, would be willing to accept the
1,5OO,OO representing the principal, on
account, but not as final settlement.
The Spanish government he said, had
agreed, when the basis Of settlement was
arranged in 1857, that interest should be
charged.
The Mora claim was for about 8l,5O),-
900 and the interest amounted to about
$500, 900. 1t has been subject for dispute
between the United States and Spain for
many years, and grew out of the contlsca
tion of the Cuban estates Of Mora, natu
rallied citizen of the United States. Sec
retary Olney vigorously pressed the claim
on the Spanish government, and insisted
on an early settlement of it.

WHITE MEN THE AeGREssoRs.
Hammock Indians in No way Responsible
for the Lataat UprIaInn.

WASHINGTON, Aug IA report sent
to the war department by Captain ]. T.
Van Orsdale, Of the Seventh infantry, late
acting agent at the Fort Hall Indian res
ervstion, on the subject of the trouble
with the Bannock Indians, has been for
warded to the secretary of the interior.
The report says in part;
Being short rationed and far from self
supporting, the Bannocks hunt for the
purpose of obtaining sustenance. BY
treaty they are granted this privilege. 1t
would seem that the killing of these Indi-
ans under the circumstances is nothing
more or less than murder. Further, l be.
lieve that there is no wanton slaughter Of
game by them, while it is notorious fact
that hundreds of animals are killed by
white men for nothing more than heads
and horns. There are men in that country
who make II business to pilot hunting
parties from the east and abroad which
not only slaughter elk, but capture and
ship them out Of the country. The kill
ing of game by Indians interferes with
their business.
"The Indians can hardly be expected ia
submit to the killing of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have a right to follow more
quietly than white men would do, and
failure by the government to take proper
action is liable to result in serious loss Of
life and property"
Captain Van Orsdale's report bears the
Endorsement of Lieutenant Colonel Henry
E. Noyes, of the Second cavalry com
manding the post, who says he concuri
heartily in what the captain has said. L
is also indorsed by Brigadier Genera
Frank Wheaton, commanding the de
partment of the Colorado, who hopes tina
the department will take action in tn
! matter
