WIRED FROM WASHINGTON.
Syndicate Gives Substantial Proof
that Its Members Wish to Main-
tain Gold Reserve.
Activity of the State Department-As-
surances of Turkey-Trouble in
China-Status of Waller Case
Encouraging.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The gold syndi-
cate has again prevented the gold reserve
from falling below the $l0O,OOO,O0O mark,
it having deposited another $2,OO0,0O0 in
gold with the New York sub-treasurer.
The officials at the department sisp'nY
no apprehensions as to the gold reserve
and intimate that the syndicate will con
tinue to make deposits to Offset with
drawas. But little light can be shed on
these questions, however, as it is said that
probably only two government officials,
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
lisle, know the unwritten part of the
agreement made with the syndicate
which secured the first issue Of bonds.
The syndicate has 30 far voluntarily de-
posted about $S,OOO,OOO in gold.
ASSURANCES FROM TURKEY.
Acting Secretary of State Adee to-day
received note from Navrony Bey, Turk
ish minister to the United States, saying
that the Turkish governmet had informed
him that thorough investigation would
be made of the alleged outrages on Amer
leans at Tarsus. 1t was learned that a
cook in the family of Prof. Charitie, of
st. Paul's institute at Tarsus, had been
assaulted by native Turks and that no
Americans were concerned in the matter
nor injured. The minister also stated
that the Turkish officers would be tried
ard punished.
TROUBLES IN CHINA.
Officials of the state department said
to-day that it was probable that the
riot reported near Foo Chow was the one
reported to the state department several
days ago, as occurring at Yung Flu, not
far from Foo Chow.
STATUS OF WALLER CASE.
The following is given in official cir
cles as fair statement of the Waller
case as far as the facts have been re-
ported to the United States: There is
no doubt that, while in the country occu-
pied by the French, Waller wrote letters
to the people the French we're opposing.
These letters were traced to him and
were made pretext for his arrest aid
conviction.
His trial was not fair, and, during his
imprisonment, he was treated with great
harshness. He was brought to France
chained to the deck of a steamer and
though i'll and suffering was treated with
out proper care. The French govern
ment has not explained in any satisfac-
tory manner the irregular arrest and
trial.
1t has been attempted to excuse it by
saying that, in time of war, military
courts are different from civil proceed
ings in time of peace, but in the opinion
of the state department. there is still a
strong probability that Waler's treat.
ment was due to the concessions he
claimed in Madagascar. 1t is held that
the United States has good ground for
demanding Waller's release and indem-
nifty.
EUsTIs ACCORDED ACCESS TO WALLER.
Acting Secretary of State Adee author
ICES the statement that information has
been received from Ambassador Eustis,
in response to the general instructions
cabled to him three weeks ago, that the
record of proceedings and the evidence
in the court martial of Waller, at Tama-
tive, is expected to reach Paris toward
the end of this month. Mr.. Eustis also
reports that access to Waller has been
accorded to him after repeated and ur-
gent req uests.
