from the result of his gallantry. He was
riding in one of the Fifth Avenue stages

million dollars of American property. In
Eastern Turkey missions there are fifty
adult missionaries who hare under their
charge AZ schools and large medical work.
Sources of danger are pointed out by the
lawIessness of numerous highwaymen who
infest the country, the Fanatica1 Moslem
population of the cities. and the hostility
Of the Turkish officials who have repeated

even encouraged attacks upon the lives and

condition the memorial says the conditions
shown to exist abundantly justify renew

the eastern part of Turkey from which
Americans are completely shut off. The
nearest consul is Mr.. Jewett and he is too
far away to be of any service. Mail ad-

is made for stationing of American consuls

ONLY KEPT WHAT HE NEEDED.
A Man Who Believed That No One Should
Accumulate More Than $250,0OO.

New Haven, Conn, January 4.-The
will of the late Edward Heaton, pro-
prieror, inventor and president of the
Imperial Granum Company. disposes of
$500, 900 worth of property. His property
goes to his three children, with no pub
lie bequests. Mr.. Heaton had the idea
that no person should accumulate more
than a quarter of million dollars. and
this idea controlled his actions through
out his life. 1t is related of him that
when he secured the amount he thought
proper, he refrained from accumulating
more funds, but as fast as his wealth
ir creased gave it away in mum ber less
ways. In this way, although the rev.
enue from the sale of Imperial Granum
was exceedingly large, he kept his estate
very nearly to the limit he established.

Washington. January 4.-The House in a
committee of the whole considered the

ing the transfer of gold from this country
to Europe. SO long would they engage in
it. He was glad to know the government
was taken out of the silver business. The
bill would not relieve the treasury of ag-
gressions upon the gold reserve, and would
fail as banking measure because it ought
to superimpose upon the government credit
currency the volume of bank credit cur
rency with no su@oient redeemer in sight.
The wisest, cheapest and practically almost
only thing left for the government 10 do
was to retire demand notes through which

commerce should be thrown the burden of
providing gold with which TO settle its
balances in international business.

THE ADMINISTRATION CRITICIZED

Senator Lodge Discussed the Hawaiian
Question and Denounced the Admins
tration for Withdrawing the War Ships.
Washington, January 4.-Mr. Lodge Of
Massachusetts,, addressed the Senate today
| on the resolution calling on the secretary
of the navy to inform the Senate why ali
our ships were withdrawn from the Haw
allan Islands, He said Major Wodehouse
had been not toriously friend of the royal
government and the maintenance of that
government was considered by Great Brit
ain to be in her interest and had been IA
yored by her. The country which sustains
the Sultan will not hesitate to sustain any
otLer barbarous monarch, if such a course
promotes her own interests. The presence
of a British warship and the withdrawal of
ours would be believed by supporters of the
Queen and by the natives generally to
mean an opportunity favorable for
Roaylist uprising.
To leave the affairs there in such condi-
ton was direct encouragement to
counter revolution and to a renewal of
disorder and possibly bloodshed in the is
lands. The Importance of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States cannot be
oyer-estimated. That Importance being
greatly increased by the approach OF tae
time when we shall build the Nicaragua
canal, When the canal is built the Hawaiian
Islands will be even more absolutely essen
tiaI to our safety in the Pacihc than they
are now. Commercially, and still more from
a military point of view. they are of the
utmost value. We do not propose to allow
any country to interfere with us there
among the people and intend TO take those
isla ads just as soon we have an admins
tration which will not tbwart their wishes.
Under such circumstances to leavs those
islands without the countenance and pro-
lection of an American ship of war and
leave our interests in Pearl Harbor and
the int ell ests of our citizens unguarded ap
pears TO me wrong in the very highest de-
gree. If it is the desire of the administra-
| tion 10 throw the Sandwich Island into the
hands of Great Britain. as they openly pro-
| posed to do, with Samoa their action is COM
prehensible. but nothing else explains it.

When the United States compell-

it held good The administration
has stated plainly that If Great Brit

it must fight the United States. In
event Of clash of arms in the dis

must fight, also. That is the logic

IL is highly improbable, however,
that a conflict will occur. England
is an adept at bluff game, itself.
An unmistakable declaration, in plain
terms, reaffirming the position of
the United States to the court of

of battleships to strategic points,
may convince England that the

affair, indeed. If England is bluffinR

Jefferson City, Mo, Oct. 21,-A
state officer to-day received a letter
from United States Senator George
G. Vest, who complains bitterly that
he was grossly misrepresented in an
interview published in st. Louis
afternoon paper. Among other
things the senator says in the letter:
The reporter colored and dis
torted what I said. There were a
half dozen gentlemen in my room,
including Judge Shacklsford of
Glasgow, Vincent Marmaduke and
r. G. Clark. expressed my fears
Of the national convention on &C..
count of money and patronage, and
said we must watch the matter Of
selecting delegates, or they would
stock the convention. I said the
odds were against US in the conven-
tion, although we would win at the
polls. did not say that we couldn't
win. In my speech I said the same
thing. warned our friends against
over confidence and urged them to
be active and vigilant. The inter-
view was fixed up by the reporter,
and for sensational purposes went
far beyond all I said or meant.
Things are getting ia fine shape.
We have no organization, no money.
and are fighting each other. What
does the state central committee
propose? Why don't they meet and
appoint an executive committee, SO
that the work of organization can
be commenced! We ought now to
be at work in every doubtful county
but the only work going on is that
of democrats fighting and misrepre
senting each other"
