The Daily News this morning pub
fishes long dispatch from New York
which describes the indignation in
America because of affairs in the Turk
ish empire, and because of the recent
attacks upon American missionaries.
Commenting upon this dispatch the
Daily News says:
The new world is asserting itself to
redress the wrongs and alter the bal
powers in general and of Russia in
particular is hard to realize, still har-
der to explain The present disrepu-
table Turkish ministry is by its very
existence a defiance to Europe. Pres
ident Cleveland is not likely to inter-
vene except for the purpose of protect
ing American citizens in Turkey. Sir
Phillip Currie will do what he can for
the Americans there. 1t is well, how
ever, that the Turks should know there
is great nation beyond the Atlantic,
which will not allow the blood Of its
sons to be shed with impunity."

at Columbia for several years, and his
real name was Thomas Daily.
In 1889 he went to Montana and be-
came a successful prospector, amass-
ing considerable money. While in Hell

people who, by the aid of a siren.
drugged and robbed him. The woman
was arrested, but Stanley was so much
under the influence of drugs that his
testimony was of little account, and
the woman was discharged. Stanley.

ELLIS ISLAND SALOONS.
Commissioner Stump Replies to Res
olutiOns Recently Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Commission-
er General Stump, of the Immigration
bureau. has sent a letter to Mr. A n
Hanna. secretary of the Christian En-
deavor union of Bellaire, in which he re-
piled to the resolutions recently adopted
by the union protesting against the con-
tinuance of the six saloons" in opera
ton on Ellis island. and stating that the
efforts of the w. c. T. U. to help i'm
migrants landing there have been antag-
onized and frustrated by the saloons
In his letter Mr.. Stump says there is
no water on Ellis island except cistern
water, which becomes brackish; that the
soft" drinks for sale, such as ginger
ale, soda, etc, were distasteful to immi-
grants. as most of them We're accus-
toned to the use of beer and light wines
as part of their daily nourishment, and
that it was thought that the granting of
the privilege OF selling beer, if properly
guarded would result beneficially and
protect the immigrants from the imposi-
ton of deleterious drugs. This privilege.
under strict regulations, was granted
July Z. 1893
In conclusion Mr.. Stump says there are
no saloons on Ellis island: that no spir-
ituous liquors are allowed to be sold,
and beer only under strict regulations
He invited members of the union to visit
Ellis island and make an investigation,
and if any abuse of the privilege of sell
ing beer is found, or if it be shown that
it is prejudicial to the cause of temper
ance. it will be revoked.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Mr. Kim
ball, superintendent of the life saving
service in his annual report states that
at the close of the last fiscal year the
establishment embraced 251 stations
1874 being on the Atlantic, SO on the
lakes. Ii on the Pacific and at the
falls of the Ohio, at Louisville, KY.
The number of disasters to vessels
within the field of the operations of the
service during the year was 4S3. There
were on board these vessels 5,402 per-
sons, of whom 1882 were saved, and 20
lost; SOB shipwrecked persons received
succor at the stations, to whom 1882
DAYS relief in the aggregate was af-
forded. The estimated value of the
vessels involved was SS,001,2 and that
of their cargoes 50, 645, $3.50, making to-
tai value of property imperilled, S1O,-
b4I,25O. Of this amount $685. S5 was
saved and $1.5O2, $50 was lost The num-
Der of vessels totally lost was 70.
In addition to the foregoing there
were during the year 1872 casualties to
small craft, on board of which there
were 421 persons, Ais of whom were
saved and 6 lost
BESIDES the number of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds there were 80
others rescued who have fallen from,
Wharves, piers, etc, the most of whom
would nave persisted without the aid
OF the life saving. crews.
me crews saved and assisted to save
curing the year 379 vessels valued WITH
tlelr cafgoes at A,561, 665, and rendered as
slstance OF minor Importance TO 1871 other
vessels in distress besides warning from
aoanger by the signals of the patrolmen
249 vessels. f o
Inc investigations made into the details
OF every shipWrecle involving loss of life
and into the conduct of the life saving
crews at these wrecks, show that the un.
fortunate people who persisted were be-
yond possible aid from the. service and
that no life was lost through the lack of
prompt and faithful efforts on the part
OF the life saving men.
The number of disasters within the
scope of the service exceeded that of any
previous year by 80. This excess. it is
said, is in a measure due to the extension
of the service by the establishment of
new stations, but principally to the condi-
ton of the weather which prevailed dur
ing the year.
The record of the year shows a smaller
proportion of loss in property than in any
previous year since the general extension
of the service.
The cost of maintainance of the service
during the year was $1,S45, 3A. 10.
The following is a. general summary OF
the statistics of the service from the in

GREAT is THE TURKEY.

Between now and the 18th of this
month six millions of young. old and
middle aged turkeys will give up their
lives to afford this great nation az
opportunity to return thanks in a be
fitting manner Twelve millions xoi
quarts of cranberries will be consumed
for the same reason. Enough pie will
be baked and eaten to pave Broadway
from the Battery to Central park
When the Pilgrim fathers and moth
ers centuries ago ate their first Thanks
giving dinner in American soil, it was
probably a very simple affair. and it
is not likely that any of them awoke
the next morning with a disordered
stomach or a swollen head. History
is somewhat remiss in telling about the
details of the menu; but as wild tur-
key was plentiful the good old bird
was doubtless a feature of the feast.
Rare wines of delicate boquet were
probably absent, and also many of the
other ''fixings' which go to make up
the modern Thanksgiving dinner.

ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. LIT Is
said that there is much dissatisfaction
among the members of the Order of
Chosen Friends and that large num-
bers are withdrawing from the organi-
cation at many places. 1t is feared
that unless radical measures are adopt
ed the order will soon cease to exist.
Assistant Secretary KAISER, a promi-
nent member of the order in this city,
speaking of the matter today said:
is the action taken by the supreme
council last September. 1t was decided
then that in the future only one-half
of the face value of the insurance pol
icies would be paid, plus the amount
paid in by the insured, instead of the
full face value, as was previously
done"

cent of the British demand for foreign
buffers, notwithstanding the fact that
Great Britain imported in eight months
S6,000,000 worth of butter.
Referring to our standing in the
foreign dairy market, the secretary
warns shippers sof the consequences of
their methods, adding: I'VE have
here a graphic illustration of the dis
astrous effects in all the trade of dis
regarding the. tastes of consumers and
of acquiring bad reputation
The secretary says the crop report
Ing work is the subject of constant
criticism. AS at present organized, it
can hardly fail to be otherwise. though
more satisfactory at present than at
any previous time.
The secretary thinks the duty of re-
porting the acreage of staple crops in
each state on June 1 of each year
might be imposed upon the authorities
of the agricultural colleges and sta
tons in consideration of the annual
appropriations they receive from the
national treasury. Such acreage being
given and the character of the soil
known, with the climatic conditions
published daily by the weather bureau,
approximations as to the yield of each
crop could probably be compiled with
more accuracy than under the present
method
OF the savings in the department he
says the total amount remaining I'M
expended out of the appropria tons for
the years 1893, 1894 and 1895, aggre-
gate $1.300.000 available for return into
the treasury.
Civil Service.
Tie commends the extension of the
civil service, which now includes all
the chiefs, of divisions in the depart
ment. He regards an extension of the
law to include all non-political officers
as essential to efficient service; recon-
mends radical reorganization in the
matter of salaries to conform govern
ment service to that of reputable COM
merclal esta Adjustments throughout the
country, and condemns the spoils sys-
tenn as one by which favoritism, IN
Justice and dependence upon political
influence saturates the service with
mediocrity, Incidence and inef1ciency.
The report closes with a discussion of
the question of the future of farms
and farming in the United States. The
average value Of farms by the census
of 1890 was $1,000. The value of inn
plements, domestic animals and sun
dries will make a total farm plant of
$4,000 for a family eraglng six per-
sons.
Those farms have fed the farmers
and their families and 40,000.000 urban
residents. besides supplying $500 000, 900
worth of products to foreign consum-
.rs. In the presence of these facts the
secretary asks: "How can anyone
dare to assert that farming is gener-
ally unremunerative and unsatisfac-
tory to those who intelligently follow
it?'
The mortgage on farm values does
not exceed IS per cent, less incum-
brance on the capital invested than in
any other line of industry
He foretells confidentia11y a steady
increase in the value of farm lands as
the population Of the country in
creases

occupy the time of the coming smeet-

started at the meeting of the Labor
