That tho United States Will Take No

OF foreign missions, and Henry Hyde, of
Boston, had conference with Secretary
olney to-day concerning the situation
of American missionaries in Turkish
territory. They placed the Secretary
In possession of all the information thew
had bearing upon the matter and, Is is
understood, were assured 1t Is the pur.
pose OF the administration to afford nil
possible protection to the missionaries
conslstens with the general poltov of
this government.
The Secretary told them that Minis
ter Terrell had been instruct ted to NJ eke
the strongest possible representations
TO the porte as to the necessity of at
1oroing protection to Americans gen.
orally, and said that he was satiefisd
that such representations had not onIv
been made, but that the Turkish eu.
thorisies had virtually promised to do
all that had been asked Consequently.
the proper protection OF our citizens in
Turkey resolved itself into q question of
good faith and OF ability on The part Of
the porte to make It's promises good.
Inc Secretary made It quite clear.
however, that while the United States
Government would do all in it's power to
protect Americans in Turkey it would
not interfere in the settlement OF the
general questions in dispute and would
iesve these matters to Turkey and to
the CON oined powers OF Europe to settle
among themselves. The reports Of the

at 1880 O'Clock. The spacious edifice
was taxed to its utmost capacity to ac-

t. s. Dunaway, of Fredericksburg, who
for the last two years has been honored

After devotional exercises Rev. w.

not be consolidated.
