really only cloak for the intention of
the powers to make a naval demonstra-
ton in Turkish waters in case of re-
newed disturbances in Asiatic Turkey.
There isno doubt that effJr;s are be-
ing made to maintain order in districts
where disturbances are threatened. and
to suppress disorders where outbreaks
have occurred. ALI danger is now
passed, however. The governor of Had
jim, who threatened to burn the convent
here, and set fire to the barley fields,
has, owing to the strong representations
made the porte on the subject by Mr..
Terrell, been recalled, and his conduct
will be inquired into.
In reply to the appeal directed by
Baron Won Calls, the Austrian ambassa-
dor, to the Armenian patriarch to exert
bis influence to prevent another out
break, which it was feared was the pur-
pose of the demonstration the Armenian
central revolutionary committee is al.
legged to have planned for this city, the
patriarch says no such demonstration is
contemplated, although" he says,
"despair reigns among them. owing to
the incessant arrests and exiling of the
Armenians." The patriarch says 400
armed Armenians of this vicinity have
recently been exiled to Anatolia.
Hairinik, the local newspaper, sup
pressed last week, because its editor re-
fused to publish an article sent him by
the Turkish authorities, condemning the
''intrigues of the Armenians,' has been
granted permission to resume publica-
tion.
The absence of news from Zeitoun,
whore the Armenians are collecting IN
strong force, and the failure of the gov
ernment to furnish any information re-
garding the concentration of Turkish
troops at Marash for an advance on
Zeitoun, are causing some uneasiness,
besides which no news is obtainable con-
corning the rising of the Druses against
Turkish rule.
One OF the most serious features of the
whole situation, the financial situation,
continues to hamper the government in
its efforts to restore order in Asiatic
Turkey, and there does not seem to be
any relief.

PORTE Will REFUSE
Gunboats May Not Enter the
BOsphorus.
REASONS FOR THIS ACTION
Under Present Conditions the Effect
Might BE Observation-Disclosures,
They Are Not Re-
quired.

CoNsTANTINoPLE. Nov. 24., via Sofia,
Nov. 25.-The main question now being
discussed between the porte and repre-
sentatives of the powers is the demand
of Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Aus
tria for firmins for passage through the
Dardanelles of an extra gunboat to be
attached to their respective embassies.
While admitting that the powers possess
the right to have two guard ships each
in the Bosphorus, the porte considers
that the proposed increase of the num-
ber of foreign war vessels there under
present conditions, might excite the
Mussulmans and produce an effect far
from the one desired by the powers. In
addition the porte points out that in view
OF the measures taken to preserve order
there, an increase in the number of
guard ships attached to the embassies is
not required. 1t can be said upon coed
authority that this is the substance Of
the note the porte has sent the repre-
sentatives of the powers.
AS soon as the notes shall have been
received and considered at the British,
Russia, Italian and Austrian embassies
a conference of the representatives of
those powers will be called and a joint
reply may be sent the porte. Turkish
representatives at London, ST. Peters
burg. Rome and Vienna will be instruct
ed to earnestly request the four powers
not to insist on their demand.
In political circles the repugnance of
the porte to grant the firmins annlied
for contributes TO the belief said to exist
among the Turkish ministers that to
grant the firmins would be sad blow to
the dignity of the sultan and a direct
proof of the lack of confidence upon the
part of the powers in his ability to gov
ern and maintain order. Behind this,
it is claimed, the Turks fear the de-
manded increase in the number of for
eign guard ships in the Bosphorus is

o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Thomas Truelove, who lives near Pot

lady's bag in her hand containing $25.
A colored man stepped in front of her
and tried to seize it. When she
screamed he struck her a heavy blow
on tue side, breaking two ribs and
causing her to fall to the ground. He
then secured the bag and ran through
an alley, making his escape. Mrs.
Truelove is badly injured, and there
are doubts about her recovery.

crop in this State, idle men in Okla

started North to assist in gathering
the crop. But there is no corn in Pratt
and surrounding counties, and the re-
suit is that the farmers have been
deputized by Sheriff Williamson to
protect themselves from the army of
tramps now moving north toward Kan

something to eat. In several instances
they have taken possession of houses

ASSISTANT SECRETARY REYNOLDS
MAKES SUGGESTIONS.
NECESSARY LEGISLATION.
Pensionable Rights of Minor Children
Should Be More Clearly Defined
Proper Punishment for Embezzie-
ment of Pension Money
Abuses in the Pension
Fund management

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Judge Rey-
nolds. assistant secretary of the inte-
rior, in his annual report recommends
legislation which will define with
more certainty the reasonable rights
of minor children under the act of
June p, 1890, in those cases where the
soldier dies leaving no widow surviv-
ing. the construction of the act on this
point now being in much doubt and
the title of such children being sus-
tanned only by implication. The sug-
gestlon of a year ago for more uni
form rule for proof of marriage in
pension cases is renewed. Stress is
again laid upon the recommendation of
the previous year for legislation which
will secure for their maintenance, to
wives and children of pensioners who
uDlawfu1ly abandon those dependent
upon them, a portion of the bounty
paid to such pensioner, and also for
legislation which will remedy the
evils arising from the manner of MAX
ing the quarterly payments by checks
direct to the agencies to certain weak
and incompetent persons, who on such
occasions are subject to schemes of the
absolute and induced to squander
their pension money. 1t is also sug-
gested that while the statutes provide
a proper punishment for embezzlement
OF pension money by guardians, yet
there should be lodged, if possible, in
the Federal courts the rights of any
one on behalf of the government to
intervene for the purpose of securing
greater protection to the fund and a
speedier process for it's recovery, it
having been brought to the attention
of the department. that many and
fragrant abuses exist in the manage
snent of pension funds which are not
properly and effectively remedied by
application to the local courts by those
entitled to institute the proceedings.
During the year the assistant secre-
tary has brought practically up to
date the work of his Office in review
ing pension cases appealed from the

loads of Debs' friends went down to
greet him on his release from Jail. and
several thousand men were at the
station of the Northwestern road
when the train bearing Debs and his
friends arrived at 100 o'clock.
The reception given Debs as he
stepped from the train bordered on
the frantic. Hundreds of men pushed
and struggled to get a grasp of his
hand, many of them Rugged him and
some went to the length of kissing
him. Finally he was tossed upon the
shoulders of four men and, followed
by a dense throng that never for an
instant stopped it's shouts and cheers,
he was escorted to the hall about one
mile distant. The warmth of the re-
eeption at the depot was repeated
when he entered the hall, with the ex-
ception that the men were unable to
get close to him and contented them
selves with cheering and waving their

MORTON ASKS WHY.
Secretary of Agriculture Thinks Cleveland
Should Not Oppose a Third Term.

Should Not Oppose Third Term.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 25.-In the
course of an interview in this
city yesterday, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Morton said: Why should Presi-
ident Cleveland be opposed to third
term any more than bank president?
This is not stating that President
Cleveland is candidate for a third
term, for as to that no one knows
but himself. The talk of third
term has been confined only to news
papers, and there is no one can say
he ever heard Mr.. Cleveland give an
expression the subject. 1 am not
in a positio4 to state whether Mr..
Cleveland will be candidate or
not. There is one thing I can
say, however, the management of the
government is a business. as is the
management of a bank. In bank the
business is entirely confined to the
management of the finances of many
people. IF bank president has
proven himself competent and faith
full he is reelected, not only once
or twice, but dozen of times or more.
The business of a government is that
of managing and preserving the in
terests of the people of nation, and
maintaining life, liberty and property,
and if a bank president is elected
many times why should it not be so
with the President of the United
States?''
