RELIEF IS TEMPORARY.
Result Of the Financial Policy
Adopted by Sir Edgar Vim
cent in Turkey.

London, Nov. Sin spite of the fact
that Sir Edgar Vincent, governor of the
Imperial Ottoman bank at Constantine
pie, has succeeded in lettering the finan-
cial condition of Turkey by suspending
for month the payment of gold for
bank notes in order to give time for the
conversion into pounds Turkish of the
gold which is coming to the bank from
lis branches and the prolonging of the
cesslon to the Ottoman bank for twelve
years, it is believed that this will afford
only momentary relief and that, together
with the change of ministry at Constan-
upon the political aspect of affairs.
In view Of the many startling reports
from Constantinople recently, it is possi-
bic just to believe that some of them
have been colored by exaggerations upon
the part of the Armenians. But the
main fact does not appear to be in any
way altered by this coloring and it is
that Armenia appears to be in a condition
OF the most dreadful anarchy.
The latest review of the situation
came from Constantinople today in a
dispatch from the Times correspondent
in that city. He. telegraphs: ''The con-
dltlon OF things here is regarded as I'M
Sultan, whose sole idea of policy is to
play off one power against the other,
is nonplussed at their unanimity. All
the powers are friendly and they give
him sound but most distasteful counsel.
None of their manifestations have any
selfish purpose affording material for
the manufacture of political capital.
Among the advice rendered him much
bears upon the insecurity of the capital
as evidenced by the September riots
which left the Mohammedans in state
of unprecedented excitement. But the
remedy suggested is an increased number
of spies, arrests or secret executions and
therefore the advice of the powers does
not meet with response.
Much also has been said about the
bloodshed in the provinces and the enor-
nous detriment to trade in the greater
part of Asia Minor and Syria. But the
only answer is the humiliation of the
reform scheme by the appointment of two
palace crea lures to the board of control
of which one of them is president. No
where, however, are fears entertained of
any wholesale fanatical outbreak against
the Christians. The danger lies quite
in another direction

EUROPE IS IN A PANIC.
Disasters on the Bourses Saturday
Only Prevented by the
RothSChildS.

London, Nov. 1.-THE critical position
Of the different European bourses during
the week has compelled Discount brokers
as measure of precaution to advance
money rates slightly. The week on the
Stock exchange proved so disastrous that
the settlement beginning today is antlcl-
mated with greatest anxiety. 1t is almost
certain that some failures will then be
announced. The fall of London consols
and other gilt-edged securities has been
all the greater because they have al
ready been forced abnormally high. Ihe
decline of prices in almost all of the specu-
latiye markets range from 2 to per
cent. Dealings i'll mining securities are
very limited Comparisons with the
Drices of a month ago show how serious
the fall has been, even in the best re-
puted mining stocks. In the foreign
markets the greater collapse has been
in Turkish and Italian securities. Even
if no further troubles develop it is inn
probable that any noticeable recovery
will take place this year.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
SAYS that it is understood that only the
Intervention of the Rothschilds on Satur-
day prevented the panic at Paris from
becoming positively disastrous.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Berlin says that but for the assistance
rendered by the Rothschilds on Saturday
bourse prices would have closed stlll
weaker. The panic could not have been
worse on the news of general european

Up to the Times.

A correspondent writes to the Evening
Sun to complain about what he calls
''the decay of conversation, caused by
the bicycle" He points out the fact,
or alleged fact that talk on this one sub
ject has superseded all other; that per-
sons who have no interest in the matter
are bored; that cyclometrical records are
wearisome, and the discussion of the rel
ative merits of boomers, with or with
out, a hateful iteration. While feeling
the fullest sympathy with our esteemed
friend we cannot admit that he is alto
gether right. 1t is only natural that the
prevailing habit of the time should bob
up in general talk. But we do not think
that the art of conversation will be per-
manently hurt. The one real danger
that we see is in the fact that the bicycle
habit has led people into talking of things
about which they know something,
thing fatal to good conversations. How
ever, this will pass. In the right com
Dany conversation has never been bet
ter than it is now. American women
are especially gifted in this respect. In
comparison with their English or even
French sisters, they shine at dinner
table, granting that the proper conditions
be present. There is false notion that
talk was better in the time of our ia
theirs. AS a matter of fact, they drank
and ate too much to scintillate while
their legs were under the mahogany.
There is nothing the matter with the
present.-New York Evening Sun.

PERHAPS AN HEIR.
Mrs. Harger Claims Part Of an Inn
mense Estate in Indian
Territory.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. Mrs. Ashley D.
Harger, who lives at, 318 Sixteenth
street, believes she is one of the heirs to
an estate Of $1,5OO,0OO left by John Har-
ger, a halfbreed Indian, who recently
died in Indian territory.
Mrs. Harger's late husband, A. D.
Harger, was best known as the publish
er of a paper at Oconomowoc, Wis, sew
eral years ago. He died eight years
ago at Hot Springs, Ark, leaving a wild
ow, daughter and an only son. The
boy was the victim Of tragedy at Den
yer several years later.
Mrs. Harger knows little of her hus-
bands early life. He lived in Indian
territory several years. He never talked
much of his residence there, and it is
supposed that he married the daughter
of an Indian chief and that the half
breed, John Harger, who left the big
fortune was his son.
Mrs. Harger has employed an attorney
and will make an effort to establish her
claim to the estate.

METHODISTS GET WARM.
Acrimonious Debate in Chicago
Over Extension Society
Funds.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. S.-The meeting of
the Methodist Extension society today
was enliyened by an acrimonious debate.
This was aroused by the discussion of
the plan to set aside from the 500, 900
to be asked from the conference $4,000
for a contingent fund, $15, 900 for emer-
gency fund and $4,000 for Office ex-
penses, this money to be used at the
discretion of the board at Philadelphia.
DR.. Neeley, of Philadelphia wanted the
matter resubmitted to the committee.
The reverend doctor in an impassioned
manner contended that the proposed &C.
ton would be neither proper nor legal.
AS soon as he had concluded several
delegates strove for the floor to answer
his objection. Bishop Foster finally Sc
cured it and made a reply of some length
during which he characterized DR.. Neel-
ey's speech as hasty one and unwar-
ranted in view of the fact that the doctor
was not present yesterday when the mat
ter was first brought up 1--WE have" he
said, "a debt of $4,000 which must be
liquidated and where else is the money
to come from if not from the money put
forward for this work?'
The bishop then moved as a substitute
for Neeley's motion that the committees
report be taken up at once. The motion
was seconded and then followed a lively
debate. J. w. Broughton, lay repre-
sentative from Philadelphia. spoke at
length, taking sides against DR.. Neeley,
and a warm personal discussion between
the two gentlemen was only prevented
by the refusal of Chairman Merrill to
grant DR.. Medley the floor. Various
other speakers kept at the matter until
finally Bishop Merrill settled it by put
ting the question, and the committee re-
port was adopted. The business of pass
ing on the amounts to be assigned yari-
Gus conferences was then resumed.

TRIAL OF DIR. HERRING.
The Specific Charge is the Burning
of the Yacht Mohican for
Insurance.

London, Nov. THE herring OF the
suit of DR.. w. Conyers Herring of New
York to recover $4,000 insurance on
the American schooner yacht Mohican,
destroyed by fire last March at Shore
ham, Eng, was continued today. The
evidence showed that the Mohican was
seaworthy and of more value than the
price DR.. Herring rid for her.
The witness swore that most of his
books and papers were burned and that
he was therefore unable to furnish the
court with certain dates and facts asked
for He denied that after leaving the
yacht on the eve of March last, the
date of the fire which destroyed the Mo-
hican, he returned to her and was alone
on board for several minutes. The man
ner of Dr. Herring while on the stand
was painfully nervous. Letitia Ihomp-
son and Mrs. Herring were present III
court during today's proceedings.
DIR. Herring denied that he only pos
sessed $500 when he left New York,
and claimed that he had securities pro-
ducing from $4,000 to $500 per year.
1t was not true, he continued, that he
had induced Letitia Thompson to come
to England. On the contrary, the wit
ness said he tried to dissuade her from
so doing. But she had taken liking to
Mrs Herring, was much pleased at the
prospect of asvoyage and was not well
treated by her mother, according to the
girls statement. The doctor also said
during his cross-examination that he did
not interfere with the Mohican after she
caught fire and was burned.
Letitia Thompson, a bright looking,
comely girl, was the next witness. She
was examined at length as to her con-
nection with DIR. Herring and Mrs. Herr
ing, and was especially questioned re-
garding some alleged discrepancies be-
tween her statements made today and
her statements made when testimony
was taken in the preliminary suit to re-
cover the insurance money on the schoon-
er-yacht, at which time Miss Thompson
testified that she put out the fires on the
yacht. locked the doors and closed the
port holes before leaving the Mohican
the night of March Z. She explained
these discrepancies by saying she made
mistakes when first examined. She
caused much merriment by her ingenious
answers. The latter, however, caused
many legal bubbles among the lawyers,
each side trying to turn her answers to
the advantage of their clients.
The court was densely crowded
throughout the day, as much interest is
taken in the case, not only from the deli
cate question of insurance which is in
volved, but in view of the fact that
many romantic episodes have been
brought into the suit.

She led the way to the house and into
the drawing-room, where, in the center Of

the little hands were tightly clenched;
and there was an expression of defiance
in her whole attitude that augured badly

He Got 1T.

A graphic incident in the life of a
spoiled child is we'll told by a writer in
an exchange:
Among the passengers on the St.
Louis train recently was q woman ac-
companied by nurse girl and boy
of about 3 years.
The boy aroused the Indignation Of
the passengers by his continued shrieks
and kicks and screams and viciousness
toward the patient nurse.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
sharpness the mother chided her sharp
ly.
Finally the mother composed herself
for nap, and about the time the boy
had slapped the nurse for the fiftieth
time a wasp came sailing and flew on
the window of the nurses seat The
boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said,
coaxingly, "Harry mustn't touch. Bug
will bite Harry"
Harry screamed Savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes
or lifting her head, cried out sharply:
''Why will you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once"
ssRut, ma'am, it's a.
"Let him have it, | say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The yell that
followed brought tears Of joy to the
passengers.
The mother awoke again.
''Mary!'' she cried, 'let him have it!'
Mary turned in her seat and said de-
murely, "He's got it, ma'amn'
