AWAITING THE suLTAN's REPLY

The Porte Does Not Consider More
Guardships Necessary.
Constantinople, Nov. 27.-The main
question now being discussed between
the porte and representatives of the
powers is the demand of Great Britain,
Italy, Russia and Austria for frmins
for passage through the Dardanelles of
an extra gunboat to be attached to
their respective embassies. While ad-
hitting that the powers possess the
right to have two guard ships each in
the Bosphorous, 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 pre-
serve order there, an increase in the
number of guard ships attached to the
embassies is not required. 1t can be
said upon good authority that this is
the substance of the note the porte has
sent the representatives of the powers.
AS soon as the note shall have been
received and considered at the British
Russian, Italian and Austrian embas-
sizes conference of the representatives
of those powers will be called and a
joint reply may be sent to the porte.
Turkish representatives at London st.
Petersburg, Rome and Vienna will be
instructed to earnestly request the four
powers not to insist on their demand.
In political circles the repugnance of
the porte to grant the firmins applied
for contributes to the belief said to
exist among the Turkish ministers that
to grant the firmins would be a 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 abil-
ity to govern and maintain order. Be-
hind this, it is claimed, the Turks fear
the demanded increase in the number
of foreign guardships in the Bosphorus
is really only cloak for the intention
of the powers to make a naval demon
stration in Turkish waters in case of
new disturbances in Asiatic Turkey.

The recent performances of the new

provements in the American navy,
have generated considerable enthusiasm
as to the future of the United States
forces on sea, but this need blind no
one to the urgent need of some reform
in the system under which the service
of our great war vessels is at present
conducted. There will doubtless be
introduced at the next session of con-
gress bill to readjust the system of
organization in the naval service, and
if the ships are to have capable officers
to man them the change cannot be
made too soon.

ANOTHER HEALER.
Mason Claims to Possess Powers Equal

Mason Claims to Possess Powers Equal
to Those of schIatter.
New York, Nov. 26.-H. B. Mason,
of Woodoliff, N. j., claims to be pos
sessed of healing powers" equal to
the famous Schlatter, who has created
such sensation in Colorado. Mason
is leader of strange religious sect
in the vicinity of his home, known as
CANCEL Dancers" or the .tChurchmen
of the Living God" He is prepared
to assert himself as healer without
losing his place as the head and center
of his little band of devout followers.
According to his story he has been
able, since the beginning of his minis
try to heal those who go to him
through faith, but now he gives more
general invitation. Mason has been
encouraged to do this through the sue
cess of Schlatter, the Colorado healer,
with whose movements he Is entirely
familiar. Mason said the other day:
81 am willing to heal those who
come to me in faith, and do SO with
out money and without price. only
trust in the Lord. Schlatter has been
doing a great work. Like me, he does
not sell his God-given gifts, but he
won't stay there, for those people are
driving him away. I tell you, it amt
no use in trying to traffic the things Of
God, and that's what the people out
there are trying to do. Why, they will
sell handkerchief or anything else
that Sohlatter takes in his hand. Men
who are standing in line to get to him
will sell their places to anyone willing
to pay price for it. That is the work
of the devil and nothing else. Schlat-
ter has God with him nightly. and
won't stand that. That is the reason
he disappeared last week and went into
the mountains. It is the Lord who
took him away to rebuke the money
changers who defile the temple.

DEPENDS ON CANADA.

The Pacific Cable and the Proposed
Steamship Service.
London, Nov. 26.-The Times pub
fishes as article on the Pacific cable,
and the proposed steamship service to
Canada. It says the success of the
movement is largely due to Canada.
The government does not intend to sub
sidize the Australian-Pacific service
from Australia to Vancouver. 1t is
also understood the government will
only subsidize the Atlantic section of
this service ON condition that better
time can be made over the Canadian
Pacific railway than is now made. In
both the steamship and the cable
schemes the principle is recognized that
in order to have British connections
exclusively, the the line must, in the
first instance, be carried westward
from the center. By the acceptance Of
this principle, Canada obtains posi-
tion she had never occupied as the
main highway of the British empire.

San Franoisco,s Hard Fight.

Athens, o., Nov. 90. = General
Charles Grosvenor, member of con-
gress, in an interview today, proposes
rebelling against the committee, should
it select San Francisco as the place for
the coming Republican national con-
vention General Grosvenor says the
offer of San Francisco to pay the hotel
bills of delegates is in the nature of a
bribe. He says the expenses to dele
gates going to that city would be ST.
$50, 900 more than it would be were
the convention east of the Rockies.
Besides, he says, it would accommo-
date upward of eighty delegates of the
Pacific coast at the great expense of
upward of 72O delegates in the central
and Eastern parts of the United States.
He, therefore, suggests that. in case
San Francisco is selected, the delegates
in all the states should meet in their
respective states and veto the action of
the committee by selecting some suit
able place for the convention.

SERIOUS BLOW DEALT
Report OF the Nicar qua Canal
Commission.
UNLIKE WHAT WAS EXPECTED
Investigation of the Entire Subject
Declared to Be Necessary.

Inevitable Delay and More Thorough
Investigation Of the Entire Subject
Declared to Be Necessary.
New York, Nov. 26.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says a
serious blow has been dealt the Mic
aragua Canal Company's project for
the construction Of waterway across
the Isthmus by the report of the Mica.
ragua canal commission. Inevitable
delay and further and more thorough
investigation of the entire subject are
declared to be necessary before even
the engineering feasibility of canal
across Nicaragua can be decided upon.
The Herald correspondent is able to
make public the review of the contents
and the text of the conclusions of the
report of the Nicaragua canal commits.
sion. This report Is now lying on the
presidents desk, and is being consid.
cred by him in connection with his an.
nual message to congress.
The report is at such variance with
the numerous rumors and predictions
which have, from time to time, been
published concerning it that it will
cause great surprise and disappoint-
ment among those who have heretofore
placed credenoe in the rumors which
usually stated that lone in the highest
authority" said the commission favored
the route proposed by the company,
and placed the cost of the canal at
about $110, 100000.
The report points out that 1t is
neither practicable nor advisable to at
tempt the construction of the Nicar-
aqua canal upon the data at present
available, and that the undertaking
would be fraught with hazards too OBJ
vious to disregard.
That the necessary knowlegde may
be had Of the physical and Topographic
cal conditions affecting the oonstruo-
tion and maintenance of canal across
Nicaragua, upon which to form final
Judgment as to the feasibility, oerma-
nency and cost, the commission recon-
mends an appropriation by congress Of
$3.50, 900 for extensive additional sur.
veys and examinat ations covering a per-
iod Of eighteen months.
With the data at hand, however, the
commission makes provisional esti-
mate of the cost, $ls8, ,472, 1893, or
nearly double that of the Maritime Ca
nal Company's unconditional estimate
of $69, 1898, $50. The commission makes
its estimate provisional. The COM
missioners say the existing data are in.
adequate as basis for estimating the
cost of many structures. Some portions
of the work may cost more; others less.
The report further says the official
estimate by the company of 500, $685.
$50 is insufficient for the work; that
sin several important cases the guam
titles must be greatly increased, and
in numerous cases the united prices do
not make proper allowance for the diff
ference in cost of work between the
United States and Nicaragua"
The general trend of the entire re-
port is certainly very unfavorable to
the canal company.
