The Situation at Constantinople.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Nov. 30.-The
cabinets of the powers have not yet
reached a decision as to what action
they shall take in regard to the refusal
of the Porte to permit the doubling OF
the foreign gnard-ships in the Bosphor
US. TIE refusal of the Sultan to carr y
out the promises be made through the
Turkish foreign minister, is regarded
as an act demanding prompt and severe
res eminent; but as the matter has been
submitted to their respective govern
ments, the diplomats are not free TO
act in accordance with their strong de-
sires, which rather impel them to order
the entrance of their additional guard
boats, frman or no frman.

WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HIS
WIFE.-It developed yesterday that
Rufus Suits, who dead body was found
Thursday in his room in the Midland
Hotel, at Kansas City, committed sui
eide rather than announce to the world
as his lawful wife his former house
keeper, who, itappears, he had secretly
married. Suits was once wealthy
clothier in that city, and was formerly
connected with the New York firm of
A. T. Stewart & Co. He was first
married thirty years ago, and lived
with his wife up to the time of her
death, in July, 1894. In September of
that year, it is now shown, he secretly
married Cstharine Sprangler, his house
keeper, and has since supported her
under the claim that she was his niece.
The fact of his dual life was made pub.
lie yesterday, when the woman broke
down and confessed her relations to
Suits. She said she had extracted a
promise from Suits to acknowledge her
as his wife Wednesday. This, in the
face of his prominence, he was not
strong enough to do.

however, has 90 far refused to permit
the warships to pass the Dardanelles

tan, and convinced that he is completely

The Government and the S. p. Rail-
road.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3O.-The
government has given notice of its
determination to enter the legal battle
instituted by the Southern Pacific
Company for the purpose of preventing
the railroad commission from reducing
freight rates over the lines of the
Southern Pacific Company operated
within the State. Like thunder-clap
from clear sky came the announcement
of this new phase in the already COM
plicated case. None of the counsel
who received the notice had apparently
any previous knowledge that such a
proceeding was to be undertaken BY
the government and none of them had
any idea upon what grounds the gov
eminent was going to attempt to inter-
fere with the functions of State com.
mission duly and legally organized
under the constitution of the State.

A RELENTLESS ENEMY.-Wm. Primo

A RELENTLESS ENEMY.-WmP Prince,
a well-known restaurant keeper at
Martins Ferry. Ohio, has an implac,
able enemy, who has been following
him for two or three years. His house
was destroyed by fire two years ago,
and there was no doubt about it being
incendiaiy. In this fire, Prince and
his family had narrow escape from
cremation, and all their household
goods were destroyed. He rebuilt,
putting up handsome business house,
with large plate-glass front. Several
months ago, on Sunday night, some
person, supposed to be the one who
fired the building burned, threw
brick through the big window. Abou
half-past three o'clock yesterday morn
ing the window was again shattered by
a brick, thrown from across the street,
probably the same person who Commit
ted the previous depredations. Before
the firing of the building, Mr.. Prince
had suffered considerable annoyance
aod loss, and all is laid at the door OF
one person. This person is known, but
no proof could be found in any case.

WERE IT not for the negro vote, the
republicans would not have majority
in the U. ;. House of Representatives;
but, for all that, the latter will not
grant them the favor they ask, the

FATAL Academia gentleman
from Fairfax writes as follows of the
fatal accident which occurred in that
county on Thursday, mention of which
was made in yesterdays GAZETTE
''Frank Fergus n, of Lincolnia,
while huuting with some companions
near Burke's station, on Thursday,
met with fatal accident about 4:3O
o'clock. AS they were preparing to re-
turn home from the days sport he at
tempted to place his gun in the wagon,
but in some way the hammer caught
and its entire contents were lodged 10
his stomach. He was corried into the
house of Mr.. E. Daniels, in whose
yard the accident occurred, and
though two physicians were immedi
ately summoned from Fairfax G. Fl.
their examination only revealed the
fact that there was no hope for his life
life, and he died the next morning
about 5 o'clock. He WAS taken to his
home on Friday evening, and his fun
eral will take place from Lebanon
church on Sunday morning at II
O'Clock. The family of this unfortu
nate young man have been sadly af-
ficted, another brother, twenty-five
years of age, having died about two
months ago, and niece having been
near to death with typhoid fever; and
now this son, just in his thirtieth year,
has gone. His mother has the sym
patty of the entire neighborhood in
this, her double affliction."

THE NEW YORK Herald thinks MIR.
Cleveland is the only man who can get
the democrats out of the hole in which
they are now fouudering, and that
without him as their leaders they are
utterly lost that their party in the West
is dlenched with silver, in NV
England is in the hands of boys, in
New York is an asset of Senator Hill,
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey is
beyond hope, and in the South is
"dead, it's leaders not daring TO assert
themselves and insensible to the incen-
tives of their proud history" AS Mr..
Cleveland got the democrats into the
hole in which they are now impotently
splashing, he is the last man upon whom
they can reasonably rely for getting
them out. Bat, unfortunately, there is
too much truth in what the Herald says
of the leaders of the democratic party
in the South. Their ancestors, could
they leave their graves, would scorn to
recognize them as their progeny.
