The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-12-01

LONDON, Nov. 30.-A dispatch from
ConStantinople this afternoon which
announced the humiliat ting back down
of the British ambassador to Turkey
Sir Phillip Currie, in his insistance
based on treaty rights, that Great
Britain and incidentally Russia, Italy
and Austria, be allowed an extra
guardship in the BosDhorus, was not
we'll received by the Tory jingoes and
1t Is certain to be made much of by
their opponents.
Daiiied with.
Although the Dryad has been or
dered back to Salonica it is under
stood in official circles that this is only
temporary move, taken in order to
avoid giving any provocation which
| might lead to riOting in Constantine
pie; and the sultan's obstinacv in this
matter is all the more annoying, as
1t IS clear that the powers are being
dallied with and placed in an undig-
! nified position by Abdul Hamid, who
is evidently skeptical as to the ion
sevity of TIE European concert.
The suggestion is published here to-
day that the sultan has few hackers
operating on the different foreign
bourses, and that he has been person
ally manipulating the recent rapid
changes of the political situation in the
east from a speculative point of view
If this be true, Abdul Hamid must
have made huge profit within the past
few weeks merely on the movements of
funds which attended the various
phases of the extra guardship ques-
ton, which has been the great attrac-
ton in politics throughout the E.eek.
Doiprs
Lord Dunraven has been entertaining
shooting party on his estates in Ire
land, Adare Manor, couny of Limerick.
Among his guests was the Marquis of
Ormonde, vice-commodore of the
Royal Yacht squadron, of which the
Prince Of Wales is commodore, and
through which Dunraven challenged
for the Americas cup.
This fact has led to the statement
that it was contemplated to back Lord
Dunraven's protest against his alleged
i'll treatment in the United States with
the signatures of all members of the
Royal Yacht squadron. But the Prince
of Wales. a commodore, could not pos
Sibly sign, and the idea has been aban-
doned.
Vanderbilt Kicks.
w. K. Vanderbilt, a lessee of one OF
Lord Lovat's deer forests, refuses to
pay their taxes. At the last meeting
of the Inverness county council, let
ter from Vanderbilt was read in which
he complains that he is continually an
noyed by claims for occupancy taxes
and that he has resolved to pay no
attention 70 them in the future.
The letter created much amusement
in the council, and after the matter had
been discussed. it was resolved to take
the usual steps to bring about the re-
Covery of the amount of the taxes
claimed to be due.
Truth. discussing the matter, says it
presumes all delinquent ratepayers are
continually annoyed until they pay.
The Shipping Strike.
There is more prospect today than
there was yesterday OF the settlement of
the great shipping strike on the Clyde
and that is welcome news for many thou
sands of families. Both sides recognize
the fact that number of important con-
tracts for the building of warships will
be lost unless work is resumed in the
yards very soon.
Consequently a settlement of the dis
Dute is expected to be arranged at the
conference which it has been decided to
hold between the employers and their en-
ployes.
Mr. Donald Smith, of Philadelphia, the
explorer of Semaliland, has reached
London in the best OF health. DIR. Smith
had a narrow escape from being killed
by a rhinoceros while on his way to
the lakes. but he pushed onward and
succeeded in exploring the country be-
yond. discovering many new tribes, the
members of one of them being all under
five feet high.
The expedition, DR.. Smith says. has
been very successful from a natural his
tory point of view. They have discovered
a number of fertile districts and new
tribes, but located several doubtful riv-
ers. They only lost six people killed dur
ing the whole journey. DR.. Smith will
return to the United States in January.
Blondin, the veteran tight rope walker
was married yesterday.
