A WISE STEP.
Uncle Sam Will Protect His Subjects
on Turkish Soil.
Sufficient Naval Force to Do So Ordered to
Asia Minor.

Washington, April 5.-Late last night,
Secretary Herbert cabled orders TO Al
miral Kirkland of the flagship san FRAN
cisco, now at Palermo, Sicily, to sail I'M
mediately for Smyrna. Asia Minor, ana
have both vessels of his squadron WISH
Alexandrietta and Adana to confer with
the United States consuls and resident
American citizens and if it is found there
are good grounds for the apprehenslons
expressed in those vicinities concerning
the probable massacre of Christians, to in
innate clearly to the local authorities that
the United States intends to afford full
protection to American citizens in that
territory under the treaty guarantees
A cablegram was sent to Captain
O'Neil of the cruiser Marblehead at Glib
raltar, ordering him to proceed with dls-
patch" to Beirut, Syria, and there report
to the admiral.
Tho San Francisco and Marblehead
have both been coaled in the past few
days, and as their commanders received
urgent orders, this morning, it is expected
that they will soon get under way. Inc
San Francisco with her speed oil II knots,
should cover the 500 miles to her destina-
ton in less than two days, and the Marble
head having frequently maintained ~
knots, should run the entire length OF
the Mediterranean in four days.
This display of force in the Turkish
waters by the United States is declared
at the state department to be due to the
unsatisfactory delays that result from the
diplomatic negotiations at Constanti-
nople.
Although instructions have been sent
to Minister Terrill to warn the Sultan of
the fears of the American missionaries in
Smyrna and demand that the Turkish
government shall take steps to prevent
outrages, it has been deemed advisable, in
view of past experience to make the as
surance for the protection of Americans
doubly sure.

Where Giants Come From.

Nearly every race has contributed to
giantism, but the English have furnished
far the larger proportion, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine. Next to the Sing
lish the Irish have supplied the largest
number, but the Irish giant is rarely
grown nowadays, since that stock has
been drawn upon so heavily by America
Germany and the United States have sup
piled each eight or nine men who have
won publicity and fame by their exuber-
ant physique. 1t seems to be the central
and western states that supply the Amer
lean giants, and our war records show
that in these regions together with Maine
and Vermont, the average stature is the
highest. There have been French and
italian, negro and Arab giants, but the
number is few, and it is evident that the
temperate zones and the large races supply
the most cases of giantism. 1t is curl
Gus fact that since Biblical days there
have been no giants among the Jews.

The Society of Children of the Amerl-
can Revolution is reality. Mrs. Daniel
Lathrop, who originated the idea, and
into whose hands the Continental Con
gress, ID. A. R., placed the matter, pre-
sented plans to the national board at an
executive meeting at Washington, Friday
They were unanimously adopted and Mrs.
Lathrop elected president for four years.
By vote of rs to l. during an exciting
session, the congregation of the Prcsby-
terrain church at Chaumont N. Y, has
decided to ask Rev. William Cleveland,
brother of President Cleveland, to tender
his resignation of the pastorate. 1t is re-
ported that politics has been disturbing
element, although Mr.. Cleveland took no
no part in politics. Mr.. Cleveland will
appeal to the presbytery.
Considerable of sensation was caused
at Pittsfield, and Lenox, Mass, by the dis
closure, Friday, that Frederick S. Folwell,
until recently head gardener for Arson
Phelps Stokes, at the latter's place in
Lenox, was defaulter to the amount Of
$4,000 or $1,000 at the time of leaving. Fol-
well incurred many bills in his employers
name and appropriated checks given him
with which to pay them. Folwel is miss
ing. His wife and child are at Pittsfie1d.
telegram has been received from Mary
NJ. Patrick, president of the American
College for girls at Constantinuple, con-
flrming the report that the college is as
sured that all the property at Scrutari oc-
cupied by the college will be exempted
absolutely from taxation. The case is
unprecedented. For this the telegram
says that thanks are due Sultan Abdul
Hamid ii, and Judge Terrell, minister
plenipotentiary of the United States.
In the Massachusetts Senate Friday,
the bill to prohibit the sale of liquors ON
July 4 and February 22, was ordered to
third reading, the Democratic senators
only voting against it. The House re-
iected the bill to prohibit the maintain
ing of more than one bar under one liquor
license by vote of 50 to 1906 A bill to
authorize the sale of artificially reared
trout in February and March was passed
to be cngrosscd.
Parson Davies has ordered a postpone
rncnt to an indefinite date of the Tommy
Ryan Jack Wilkes x-round 90 at Chi
cago, set for Friday night, and announced
that no more ring contests will be seen in
Chicago for some time. The postpone
mcnt is due to the action of Alderman
John Coughlin, who got an order through
the council prohibiting all athletic exhibit
tions of the kind. This was done to get po-
litical revenge, because his friend, Hinky
Dink. who was nominee for ALDERMAN.
was thrown down." election day, by
other Democrats who are patrons of the
ring. Coughlin had sworn out warrants
for Davies and principals in case the fight
was brought Off

voting for it, constituting a committee on
accounts, and although no quorum was
present in the common council, this COM
mittee was practically agreed upon by
both parties. This week, however the
Republicans were the only ones present
on the night of tine meeting of the com
mittte.
Mr.. T. W. Scribner, who had II votes

functions of the office, Monday, and has

no city officer has any authority to pay
them.
1t was understood, as stated in the
Journal. Friday morning, that an agree
ment had been made to have the whole
question of officers referred to Chief
Justice Peters of the supreme court, his
decision to be final Today the Demo
Gratis have declared they will not agree to
any such reference. although the PROPOSE
ton came from them in the first place
and had this agreement been made it
could all have been very quickly settled.
From the above statement of facts it
may plainly he seen that the real trigging
of the wheels Of the city government is
not and has not been done by the Republi-
cans, as many in the city are disposed to
believe, but by the Democrats themselves,
and yet on the street the latter are charg-
ing the Republicans with causing and
maintaining the deadlock. TO those who
have not attended the city meetings or
examined the records, it may seem that
the Republicans are the ones who are
causing all the trouble, but at each meet
ing the Democratic members have been
coached by members of their party pres
ent to vote down and kill every measure
introduced by the Republicans.

ENGLAND'S POSITION
In Venezuelan Affairs Is That 1t Is
None of Our Business.
She Gives Three Reasons Why Uncle Sam
Should Not Interfere.

Washington, April "a Washington
special says it is understood that the posi-
ton of Great Britain. in declining the
suggestion of the United States for the
settlement of the trouble with Venezuela,
is substantially as follows:
First-Great Britain takes the position
that the question of arbitration was once
before proposed by Venezuela. At that
time the foreign office gave the subject the
most careful consideration and then sub
mitted reply embodying proposition
to arbitrate certain definite subjects of the
controversy. To this proposition Venez-
uela has never made reply. either accept
ing or rejecting the proposed basis of
arbitration. Under these circumstances
1t is not desirable to proceed to second
proposition of arbitration when the first
remains unanswered.
Second-There are certain portions of
territory to which Venezuela lays claim,
which, under no circumstances, will be
made the subject of arbitration, as they
are recognized and established portions of
the British domain and are not, therefore,
a subject on which the judgment of arbi
tration could be invoked.
Third-The matter is one between.
Great Britain and Nenezela, 50 that the
good offices to the United States are not
regarded as essential to u settlement. as
it is not understood that the United
States has assumed protectorate over
Venezuela or has other interests than that
of q friendly power

IN SPLENDID SHAPE
For Effective Work is the American
Republican College League.
eov,,b Annual Convention Of the League at
Grand Rapids, Mich.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 5.-The
fourth annual convention OF the American
Republican College League convened at
10 O'Clock this forenoon. There were 90
delegates representing the various colleges
of the United States. The vast auditorium
was packed with college men from the
University of Michigan and members OF
the Lincoln Republican Club, while the
galleries were filled with the representa-
tive ladies of the city and state.
When the convention was called to or
der by President Cox Of the University OF
New York, Congressman William Alden
Smith delivered the address of welcome
Responses were made by J. S. Stickel
of Baldwing University of Kansas, W. Ii.
Cox of Yale, j. f. Burke, Plttsburg. ana
D. f. Hawkins, Syracuse.
President Cox expressed satisfaction at
the prosperous condition of the league, and
announced that the College Republican
its official organ, had done more to make
the league a real success than all other
efforts put together. Continuing, he
said:
LAS to the opinion expressed that our
membership would double during the
year, this is more than fulfilled Last
April there were 25 really active clubs
in the league, and now there are 81 In
that condition Aside from those policies
foreshadowed in my first circular. several
others have been carried out. Up to last
June our position in the National Repub
lican League was one of little dignity or
worth. decided that a league like ours
should either hold commanding posi-
ton in that great organization or we
should stand alone. After hard fight in
the seventh annual convention of the Ma
tional Republican League held at Denver
in June we were admitted equal in every
respect to the Republican State League,
including the right of having a
national executive committee man,
(Which we already had) national
Republican League vice president and
the right of membership on all the com
mittees The vote we are allowed to cast
(91) is about equal to that cast by the
State League of Ohio. In the future we
are to cast vote for every college repre-
scented in our national conventions

PENDANT responsible for that sum.
