MINISTER TERR|LL'S ACTS
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL THAT HE
HAS NEGLECTED MISSIONARY
INTERESTS.
AMERICANS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY
PROTECTED AND RELEASED
WHEN ARRESTED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-In a
cablegram from Minister Terrill, dated at
Constantinople to-day, and addressed to
Senator Mills and Congressman Savers, Mr..
TerriIl makes the following statement:
The New York World publishes the charges
that 1 have neglected missionary interests
Every American missionary in this city will
state it to be false. Not an American mission
ary in Asia Minor has been injured during
this terrible strife, though more numerous
than those of all Europe.
To protect them against twofold danger l
have remained for months with leave of alb
sence granted. The attack on my personal re-
lations with the Sultan deserves only con-
tempt. They have not endangered the security
OF m Missionaries. Such attacks are inspired by
secret societies OF Armenians, whose methods
OF assassination the Rev. DR.. Hamlin exposed
in the Independent of December, 1893. l have
for months kept Turkish guard to protect
American professors in a missionary college
against threatened assassination by emissaries
OF the secret societies.
They cannot understand and resent nv
observance of our established policy of non
intervention here. / have never failed to res
cue from prison every Armenian when ar
rested who bore an American passport. Among
them are known revolutionists. To expose the
assassins Of reputation has become a duty.
For the misguided Armenian l have only pity,
but the American journal that publishes a
SANDER to impair the influence of it's country's s
Minister at distant court will be rebuked by
American patriotism and the American press
regardless OF party. Such conduct is not
American, but perhaps natural in one who has
grown inselent with temporary prosperity

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-While
nothing official can be learn ed in Wash
lngton with reference to any alleged secret
treaty between Russia and China it is not
doubted that some understanding exists
between the two countries which will re-
suit IN their mutual advantage.
European dispatches of recent date con-
tanned the intelligence that Russia would
guarantee the Chinese indemnity of
30, 900 taels, which will be paid to Japan
for the latter's evacuation of the Lao
lung Peninsula. Those who are familiar
with Russian statecraft say that the Car S
Government, which is noted for is clever
intriguing qualities, would not so obligate
Itself without proper quid pro quo. For
this reason some Importance Is attached to
dispatches which state that Russia has Sc
cured rights from China which will enable
her to build line of railway through the
Lao Tung Peninsula connecting with the
Russian transcontinental railway at Vladi-
vostok, thus giving Russia her long de-
sired outlet for this line.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 26.-The Sun
says: The Republicans who came to New
York to fix the time and place for the
meeting of the National Republican Con-
vention were nearly all gone by yesterday.
They left behind, however, an interesting
story-one that has never been told and
one which will explain why the Republi-
cans passed over Chicago in 1892 and went
to Minneapolis. The story will also go a
long way toward explaining why there is
bitter opposition now to holding the con-
vention in Chicago next year.
The story of the opposition to Chicago
date. back to the convention of 1888, when
General Harrison was nominated there.
The facts are best told by member of the
National Republican Committee, who was
on the ground at the time, and said last
night:

fairest promises that the city was inter-
ested in no candidate and that we would
have fair treatment. Like most of Chi
cago's promises the pledges made to us
were empty.
From the day we arrived there we as
cert aimed that the whole city government
OF Chicago had got up great boom for
Gresham. Moreover, we ascertained that
there was an organized scheme to pack the

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 25.-To-morrow
will be a red-letter day in the history OF
the San Joaquin Valley and Stockton.
The first constructions train on the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad is now loaded
with ties and rails, and at 10 o'clock in the
morning it will start for the eastern end of
the city line and the first tie will be
placed on the county grade. On the train
will be prominent citizens, newspaper
men and the superintendents of the
various departments of the work.
All day the strip of land known a.
block q has been alive with workingmen,
loading the cars with rails and ties from
the big stacks along Mormon Channel. A
week ago the company came into posses
sion of the block and in that short period
of time has graded it, laid the switches.
and last night big train of cars was
backed down by engine for loading. The
train will reach the grade at noon and it is
probable that the ties will be first thrown
down at that hour.
Farther down in the yards are several
carloads of telegraph poles, which will also
be moved to the front next week, i'm order
that the construction of the telegraph lines
may be begun. All pessimistic views of

PUNcTUA7ED WITH a PISTOL.
Manager McoI Compelled to Sign Retrac
ton of Charges Against Discharged
Railroad Man,

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 25.-About a week
ago Mrs. Alexander Nicol, wife of the man
ager of the AngIo-American Packing and
Provision Company, was returning from
Kansas City to her home in this city, when
she had an alleged sensational experience
with James Deatheridge, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad. The story which Mrs.
Nicol recounted to her husband reached
the Rock Island officials and Deatheridge
was discharged. To-day Mr.. Deatheridge
walked into Nicol's Office in the Board of
Trade building and presented Nicol a
written retraction of the charges and
asked him to sign it. Nicol refused to
sign 1t and Deatheridge drew a revolver
with the remark, 'If you don't sign that
paper you will not get chance to sign
any other kind of paper" Nicol then
signed the paper, and there was lively
scuffie before Deatheridge could escape
from the office.

shame that would come upon their city if
we were lugged off to jail. Naturally the
Chicago newspapers have been silent about
this matter, but the National Republican
Committeeman have remembered it.
''I observe that Mr.. Plart believes that
the convention should go to Chicago next
year. He is fully acquainted with our
treatment there in 1888. His only reason
for advocating Chicago is that pos
sibly it is the most central point. But
even Mr.. Platt should remember our treat
ment in Chicago. After he had sent the
Worlds Fair there and put into the Golfers
of that city millions of dollars bed and
board was refused to him on the first night
that he got into Chicago to attend the fair.
'He had telegraphed weeks ahead for his
rooms and he had received word that they
had been saved for him. When he got

The CALL has swept across the continent,
up and down the coast. and the chances of
San Francisco are now quivering in the
balance. That a sufficient amount of
money will be subscribed there is no
longer any doubt. Every interest that is
represented in commerce and by profess
sions has come to the front with its assist
ance, and the whole coast is expectant
with the prospect OF success.
The interior papers have caught the cry
and it goes echoing through the State like
the slogan of freedom. A population of
both Republicans and Democrats has ex-
pressed its intention of showing the East
that we can bid, and the silver and gold
that was once given to save the country
from money panic is again ready to buy
the Republican National Convention for
San Francisco.

opportunity as now presents itself to her

galleries and every vacant spot in the
auditorium for Gresham. We did not OBJ
ject to the candidacy of Judge Gresham,
but we did draw the line at the work OF
Chicago's municipal officers, backed up by
their police force, to pack the galleries and
to attempt to turn the convention into
pandemonium.
"lt was necessary for the National Com
mittee to select doorkeepers and instruct
them not to admit anybody without q
ticket. These doorkeepers wore badges
announcing that they were the official
doorkeepers appointed by the National
Committee.
"On the first day of the convention the
police removed the badges from the coats
OF the doorkeepers and threatened them
with all sorts of punishment If they per-
sisted in admitting only persons with
tickets. Thousands of people were pushed
into the convention by these policemen at
the command OF the municipal officers of
Chicago.
'The galleries were packed and the Ma
tlonal Committeeman and the delegates to
the convention were violently opposed
when they protested against the perform
ance. For several days Chicago's police
men were the practical doorkeepers of the
convention.
Finally the National Committee de-
cided to attempt to stop the outrage. We
held meeting behind closed doors to see
what we could do. The municipal officers
of Chicago got an inkling of the meeting
and the doors were burst open and every
member of the National Republican Com
mittee was put under arrest. Such men
as F. D. Jones of Pittsburg, Sam Fessen-
den of Connecticut, j. s. Clarkson of Iowa,
and in fact every member of the National
Committee felt the hand of burly police
man on his shoulder.
"The police patrol wagons were driven
up to the door ready to cart Us away to the
cooler The charge against US was a
purely technical one. 1t was that we had
hired Pinkerton detectives to stand beside
our doorkeepers and to prevent the police
men from packing the galleries: 1t is true
that we hired Pinkerton detectives to pro-
tect our doorkeepers. II was our only re-
course.
"While all the National Republican
Committeeman were put under arrest on
that occasion we were not lugged off to
the cooler Certain Chicago citizens who
learned of the outrage stepped in and pro-
tected US and told the authorities of the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-secre-
tary Morton is enthusiastic over the
Atlanta Exposition, which as an educa-
tional institution. he says, is compare
lively superior to the Chicago World s
Fair. He says President Gilman of the

had visited all the great expositions and
none OF them equaled Atlanta education

GREAT PREPARATION FOR WAR
ALREADY THERE HAVE BEEN
Fatal ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN
BRITONs AND NATIVES.

CARACAS, VENEZUELA, Oct. 25. The
greatest excitement was caused here by
the news from England that that country
is determined 10 continue its course and
not to recede from the stand originally
adopted and in support of which England
is sending warships to this coast and sew
eral vessels have lately arrived at Guiana
with war material.
News received through private channels
from the United States is not the least en-
couraging, though the Government still
persists in positive assurances of help from
the United States and that the American
feet is already coming. Added to this
is the news of fighting in different portions
of the country, wnere the Government was
generally worsted.
Letters from Georgetown say that the
British authorities there are rot idle, send
ing large quantities of ammunition toward
the frontier, where troops and settlers
have been newly armed, and the latter,
though not seeking a fight, are determined
to stand their ground. Throughout the
British colony there is a strong feeling
against Americans, who are called inter-
meddlers.
Advices from the Cuyuni announce sew
eIal frictions between natives and the
British, in which some were killed, though
as yet no open battle has occurred. Vene-
zuelan troops on the Cuyuni are being re-
enforced and taking stand on the
frontier, ready at moments notice to
take offensive measures, and are deter
mined to attack, burn and kill where they
can.
1t is positively stated that Venezuela
has promises in case war breaks out that
number of the Latin American countries
will join her, principally Brazil and
Ecuador, and that the former will then
test her case against Italy and England.
The work favoring a general Latin-Ameri-
can alliance against European enroach-
ments which commenced four years ago is
promising excellent results.
1t is rumored that the leaders of the
present opposition to President Crespo
will be sent to serve the Government on
the frontier. The Government has taken
precautions against an attack on English
residing in the country.
The Government is preparing to defend
the coast with torpedoes, and under no cir
cumstances accede to the demands of Eng
land. A watch has been ordered for Eng
lish spies. The British works of defense
at Uruan have been finished, and the
British are ereconnoitering Ymataca Mount
aims. Reports that the English are ad-
vancing through Brazil are again current.
The Venezuela case is not identical with
Nicaragua, and it is believed that the
United States therefore cannot interfere
1t is reported that England will aid the
United States in Cuba against Spain for
leaving England free here.

England May Try to Protect China From,
Russia.
LONDON, Eng, Oct. 25.-The Pail Mall
Gazette prints long article commenting
upon dispatch published in the Times
from It's Hongkong correspondent stating
that treaty had recently been concluded
between Russia and China, by the terms
of which Russia obtains the right of
anchorage for her fleet at Port Arthur. the
right to construct and operate railways
and other great advantages. The Gazette
assumes that this practically means that
Russia has annexed China. If this con-
clusion of the treaty be a fact, Japan, the
paper says, will certainly refuse to leave
Port Arthur, and England will oppose it
to the death. The treaty also means the
presence of Russian warshlps off Van
couver and Sydney. England must act
vigorously and Immediately, both by
means of diplomacy and by getting her
fieers ready for sea.
The Globe, in an article on the same SUBJ
ject, says: Neither England the United
States, Japan nor Germany will sanction
the partition of China which would virtu-
ally render the Pacific a Franco-Russian
lake and would seal the markets of China
against their commerce"
The st. James Gazette says: at Is obvi-
Gus that. if Russia has squeezed China into
such an agreement, we must intervene
War with Russia, with all its risks and
possibilities, would be less disastrous than
to allow her, without striking a blow, to
get such grip on China"

A local newspaper has charged that the

particular. The company let its contracts

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 25.-Four brother
officers Of Lieutenant Pague testified to-day

victim Of chronic alcoholism and was not

evidence was very valuable for the defense
