Statements Which If Proved Would
Cause Serious Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE commit
tee of Armenian citizens, which is in
Washington in behalf of their country
men, has presented to Mr.. Hit and
other members conspicuous in foreign
affairs, statements regarding the treat
ment of Armenians who are natural
lied American citizens, which put a
very serious aspect uqon the relations
of the United States with Turkey, and
may inspire declaration by congress.
1t is represented by the committee that
Turkish government refuses to permit
naturalized Armenians to return
to their old homes and also pre-
vents them from bringing other men,
bers of their families out of the Turkish
dominions to this country. Beyond
this, the Armenians declare that the
Turkish government compels all natur-
allied Armenians doing business in this
country to remit taxes on their business
and income taxes to the sultan's officers.

iowa Judges Confirm Decisions in Rail-
road Land Cases.
SIOUX CITY, Dec. 7.-Decisions were
rendered in the district court here in
favor of the settlers, in a number of
cases brought to oust them from lands
granted by congress many years ago to
the Sioux City & St. Paul railroad in
Woodbury. and Plymouth counties. On
the grounds that the terms of the grant
had not been fully observed by the
road squatters settled ON the land.
Some of the suits brought by the road
to eject them were begun in the
state, and some in the federal court.
The latter having been appealed to the
United States supreme court, the state
courts decided to reserve their decision
until the ruling was made by the su-
preme judges. A supreme court decis-
ion in favor Of the settlers having been
recently announced, the state courts
are following suit. Nearly 10000 acres
of land are involved.

WAR CLOUD IN SIGHT.
Chicago Papers Washington Correspor

Chicago Papers Washington Correspon-
dent Springs = Sensation.
CHICAGO, Dec. IA special to The
Times Herald from its Washington cor
respondent says: War between the
United States and Great Britain is
threatened. 1t can be averted only by
surrender on the part of England. The
contention over the Monroe doctrine
has reached a stage which will produce
the gravest anxiety on both sides Of the
Atlantic until the facts become known.
If the American congress will support
the president, and of this there can be
no doubt, Great Britain will soon be
given the choice Of surrendering or
fighting. Upon authority which can
not be questioned, reads the dispatch,
it is known that this government has
received q cablegram from Ambassador
Bayard giving briefly the contents of
the note which the Marquis of Sails
bury has mailed in reply to Secretary
Olney's dispatch Of last July. This re-
ply is in substance refusal to arbitrate
any of the territory east Of the Schom-
burg line. Moreover, Lord Salisbury
raises new case. He now contends
that the Schomburg line was not arbi-
trarily run; that it was, in fact,
Located Upon Authentic Data,
and that it can be proved by the rec
ords, the treaty descriptions and the
maps that it correctly represents the
western limits Of the territory which
Great Britain acquired by cession from
Holland.
Receipt Of this information caused
some excitement in the Washington
government. Secretary Olney at once
proceeded to confer with the president
about it. They agreed in their opinion
was that the British premier was trifiing
with the merits Of the question. He
was attempting to evade and delay
direct response to the principal issue in
yolved and to bring on q controversy
between the two governments as to
historical records and Typographical
facts. Such a controversy, the presi.
dent and secretary agreed, if once en-.
tered upon, might run an indefinite
length.
The programme which the president
and secretary now have in mind is first
to ascertain the wishes of Venezuela in
the premises. If Venezuela is willing to
Arbitrats ON the schomburg Line
then the mission Qf the United States
is for the time being at an end. Ven.
ezuela has repeatedly refused this, and
it is not expected that she will give in
now. Once being assured of Venez.
uela's unwillingness to submit to Eng.
lands pretension, the president will
refer the whole matter to. congress al

TIME AND PLACE
The Principal Matters to Come
Before the National Repub-
lican Committee.
Believed the Convention Will
BE Held in June as
Usual.
The Matter Of Changing the
Basis of Representation.
e Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-Active prepar-
ations for the assembling next Tuesday
of the Republican national committee
to select time and place for the ma
tional convention are making. The
executive committe of II members,
meets ON Monday night, and the full
committee will be called to order by
Chairman Carter at IL o'clock Tuesday
morning in the banquet hall of the Ar
ington hotel. Large delegations are
expected from the cities seeking to Sc
cure the convention, viz, Pittsburg, San
Francisco, Chicago and st. Louis.
While these are the main contestants,
New York state will have delegation
seeking the convention, with Saratoga
as the convention place.
The Mckinley Delegation.
The most considerable delegation yet
here is that representing the interests
one eff the most active men Of the dele
cation, said:
1--WE have no plans to submit, and
are not favoring one city as against an
other. But the candidacy of Governor
Mckinley is fully understood the coun-
try over, and we are here, without any
request from him, to look after Ohio's .
choice. The state is absolutely united,
and all talk Of division is passed away"
The Question of Representation.
The national committee meetings will
be open when the claims Of the various
cities are represented After that, the
committee will 60 into secret session.
The first business to be passed OH is the
resolution Of Committeeman Payne, of
Wisconsin, for q change in the basis of
representation to the convention, the
proposed basis being proportionate to
the Republican vote cast for president
in the last presidential election. The
resolution was introduced by Mr.. Payne
and seconded by Mr. Hahn, of Ohio. 1t
was last discussed in Louisville in May,
1898, and was laid on the table to be
taken up at the meeting next Tuesday.
There are three ways of dealing with it,
namely, to adopt it, to vote it down, OF
to refer it to the national convention.
The last course is likely to be taken.
| Division In the Matter Of Time.
On the question of date there is q
division of sentiment between June
and September, but the prevailing i'm.
preston is there will be an adherence
to the custom of a June convention.
Against this there is being urged that
there should be short ''90 days. cam.
paign, with least disturbance of bust
ness. This is met by the statement that
even with June convention the cam.
paign does not begin until September
and that it is needless to keep the coun
try in suspense until autumn.
An erroneous impression prevails thai
a chairman Of national m4nittee il
to be chosen to succeed Chairman Car
ter. The latter's tenure lasts until the
next national committee is chosen, q,
the time of the national convention.

CHICAGO. Dec. Bishop Nicholas
he's been instructed by he holy synod
of st. Petersburg to build great cathe-
DIAL in Chicago to cost not less than
900, 900. 1t is part of the decree that
the sanctuary shall cover TN acre of

forms of Russia; the general design
shall reproduce the famous It. Vasili of
The Kremlin of Moscow; the priest
house shall be the home of the head of
the denomination in the Western
world, and the diocese of Alaska and
the Aleutian islands shall be renamed
toinclude this country, or a new one
WIN be created.
1t Is Great Mission Work.
This is the greatest mission work ever
undertaken by the synod. 1t was ad-
vised by the bishop in long report to
the body during his visit last summer
to the car and the empires capital.
His exposition of the needs of the thou

for the first time the opportunity of a

with no religious home worthy their

Byzantine and Greek Architecture.
Harold Julius De Bosse, the supervis-
ing architect in the cabinet of the czar,
will direct the erection of the cathedral,
and a Chicago architect will draft the
plans for submission to the synod His
only instruction was to equal the size
and wealth of any similar edifice in the
city, with an underlined ukase that
nothing shall appear in it except the
prescribed Byzantine Greek architec

ATTORNEY GENERALS REPORT.

Necessity of Legislation to Regulate
Railway Receiverships.
WASHINGTON, Dec THE annual
report Of Attorney General Harmon
shows that there has been an increase
in the number of criminal cases pend
ing in the Federal courts as well as an
increase in the expenses of the courts
from 81, 1864, S9S in 1888 to $5,628, 223 in
1895
A strong argument is made for the
fee system. He says too much of the
time of the supreme court is occupied
by criminal appeals, and suggests that
such appeals be disallowed save in cap
ital cases. The attorney general also
calls attention to what he regards as the
growing abuse of the writ of habeas
corpus and suggests that the allowance
of a stay by the supreme court or one
of its judges be required at least on all
appeals after the first. He asks for an
additional circuit judge in the fifth and
sixth circuits.
Matter of Railway Receiverships.
The Northern Pacific litigation has
called attention to the necessity of leg
islation to regulate the appointment of
receivers and judicial sales of railroads,
parts of whose lines are in different
states. He points out the desirability
of the investment of a single court with
control over the entire property. Prompt
action is urged toward working out the
solution of the problem presented by
the government relation to the Cen
trail and Union Pacific railroads. and,
as it may be necessary to institute pro.
beedings against one or both of these
companies, he shows the necessity of
law giving some court in the District of
Columbia jurisdiction of the entire
property of all the parties i'm interest.

MUSHROOM CULTIVATION.

Do Not Come Up AL at Once. Nor Do

In last Sundays Times there ap-

mushrooms. 1t was thought that the
subject had been fully treated. but the
writer failed to mention the length OF
time mushrooms will bear after the
spawn has matured.
a correspondent, having asked for
Information on the matter. is informed
that mushrooms do not come up all at
once, nor do they grow forever. If the
spawn is good and planted early in
September, from four to five, and some
times six, weeks will expire before the
first crop of mushrooms makes it ap-
pearance. The first crop will grow for
two or three weeks, then the mush-
rooms wilPthin out, and a slight dress
ing of fresh loan, about half an inch in
depth, should be spread over the bed
When this coating has been beaten
down with spade, the soil should be
gently moistened with tepid water, and

rooms (often better than the firsD can
be gathered. The second crop of mush-

fully great care must be taken to obtain
fresh spawn, which can be bought in

directions: Take equal portions of

The u. S. IS A POWER.
The Speaker" of London on
: Our Foreign Policy.
United States is Coming Into
Foreign Politics.
HAS COME TO STAY.
Aspirations Which May at Any
Time Lead to War.
HAS COME TO STAY.
Europe Must Understand What
Monroe Doctrine Means.

LONDON, Oct 12.-The Speaker today
publishes a long article dealing with the
evolution of the foreign policy of the
Venezuelan and Cuban questions, in the
course of which it says:
1.-The United States, as power, is COM
ing into foreign politics. and is coming
to stay. The process of evolution
of American foreign policy has been
gradual, but unmistakable and
in he last few weeks, we have had indi-
cations of the existence of ASPIRATIONS
which may at any moment lead to the
active participation of America in for
eign war.
"Her Intervention in the Venezuelan
dispute is not warranted by any
treaty precedent in International
law and can only be defend
ed on the ground that the
Monroe doctrine henceforth will be acted
upon as governing all the foreign policy
Of the United States. Aud what is more
serious is that it is not the Monroe doc
trine pure and simple, but that doctrine
with developments
''Her action means that the weaker
| states of America can count up
on the assistance of the United
States in frontier disputes with
any European cOlO0y. Inc present
action undoubtedly does not go any
further than the friendly suggestion
that we refer the question to arbitration;
but it is backed and supported by claims
which logically point to a declaration
that interference with the frontier claim
ed by Venezuela will be regarded in
Washington as a declaration of war
against the Uaited States.
"This is serious affront and it is to
be feared that it is not quite appreciated
at its proper value in Downing street"
! The article sums up the situation by
saying: Europe must understand that
the people of the United States arcade
cided first of all to prohibit, if neces-
sary, with the bayonet and rifle, any ex-
| tension of European domination; Sec
ondly. that popular sentiment in the
| United States enthusiastically favors ev-
cry insurrectionary movement which
aims at the removal of an European flag
| from American soil.
"This will entail force, expenditures
and complications. Blu: these facts are
not clearly seen yet by the American
! citizen who blunders blindfold but head
long along what used to be called the
| path of manifest destiny"
