Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., secretary of
the foreign department of the Ameri-
can board, addressed letter to Hon.

vent disorders. The yamen at once

AWAITING THE sULTAN's REPLY
The Porte Does Not Consider More
Guardships Necessary.

The Porte Does Not Consider More
Guardships Necessary.
Constantinople, Nov. 27.-The main
question now being discussed between
the porte and representatives Of the
powers is the demand of Great Britain,
Italy, Russia and Austria for tirmins
for passage through the Dardanelles of
an extra gunboat to be attached to
their respective embassies. While ad-
uniting that the powers possess the
right to have two guard ships each in
the Bosphorous, the porte considers
that the proposed increase of the num-
Der of foreign war vessels there under
present conditions, might excite the
Mussulmans and produce an effect far
from the one desired by the powers.
In addition the porte points out that
in view of the measures taken to pre-
serve order there, an increase in the
number of guard ships attached to the
embassies is not required. 1t can be
saiaa upon good authority that this is
the substance orl fsia 2 n the porte has
sent the representatives of the powers:
As soon as the note shall have been
received and considered at the British
Russian, Italian and Austrian embas-
sizes conference of the representatives
of those powers will be called and a
joint reply may be sent to the porte.
Turkish representatives at London st.
Petersburg, Rome and Vienna will be
instructed to earnestly request the four
powers not to insist on their demand.
In political circles the repugnance of
the porte to grant the firmins applied
for contributes to the belief said to
exist among the Turkish ministers that
to grant the firmins would be sad
blow to the dignity of the sultan and
direct proof of the lack of confidence
upon the part of the powers in his abil-
ity to govern and maintain order. Be-
hind this, it is claimed, the Turks fear
the demanded increase in the number
of foreign guardships in the Bosphorus
is really only cloak for the intention
Of the powers to make naval demon
stration in Turkish waters in case of
new disturbances in Asiatic Turkey.

PRESS COMMENTS.

Eastern Editors Opinions on Business
Sentiment and Politics.
(Chicago Recordl
The recent performances of the new
battleship Indiana, with the other i'm
nrovements in the American navy,
have generated considerable enthusiasm
as to the future of the United States
forces on sea, but this need blind nc
one to the urgent need of some reform
in the system under which the service
of our great war vessels is at present
conducted. There will doubtless be
introduced at the next session of con.
gross bill to readjust the system OF
organization in the naval service, and
if the ships are to have capable officers
to man them the change cannot be
made too soon.

The Waller Documents.

Washington, Nov. 28.-The Kansas
congressional delegation, as soon as
possible after the fifty.fourth congress
begins, will introduce resolutions in
both houses looking to an investiga-
tion of the circumstances connected
with the arrest and imprisonment of
ex-Consul Waller. The members of
the delegation take the position that
the United States is entitled to the
record of the trial as matter of right,
and Therefore should not ask it as an act
of comfy. The probabilities are they
will try to secure the passage of a
resolution instructing the government
to stand by its demand for the docu-
ments. The first resolution, however,
only will call for the correspondence in
the case.

Ridiculous as it sounds for the
United States at this period of their ex-
istence, we are on the straight road to
bankruptcy The situation is such
that with congress in Republican con-
troll, a president of the opposition must
accept the revenue bill which is laid
before him. There is deficiency in the
national revenue, and we must have
money. It is a condition which con.
fronts Us, not theory.

st. Louis, Nov. 26.-Fire Quilted the
main building of the st. Louis Shovel
Company's extensive plant in this city
today. The loss is estimated to be be-
tween $50, 900 and 500, 900, and is
nearly covered by insurance. The
officers of the company decided to re-
build at once, and say they will double
the capacity of their plant. Watch
man John Lawlor thinks the fire was
caused by the electrical converter.

lore Judge Weber this morning, when

No Further Proposals.

London, Nov. 27.-Nothing is known
at the colonial Office here of the al
legged statements of the administration
of British Guiana that the imperial
government is preparing to assert it's
rights by arms. Newspapers reaching
here say the legislature Of that colony
had been acquiescent to the proposals
of the secretary for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain, to increase the colonial
force by two inspectors and another
Maxim gun, the legislature also notify
ing the government that it is prepared
to vote anything the colonial secretary
considered necessary for the defense of
the colony. No further proposal, how
ever, has been made by the imperial
government. There has been no
change in the boundary dispute, and
the government, it is added, will not
tolerate Venezuelan aggression beyond
the Schombergh line. Otherwise it is
stated that the warlike statements
printed in certain newspapers are not
founded on facts.

Abandonment of Agriculture.
(Philadelphia Times,1

The fact that agriculture is in pro-
cess of gradual abandonment in Great
Britain may account in part for the
great increase in immigration from that
country, the number of arrivals since
August aggregating 238,0OO. 1t evil
IDENTIFY does not pay the British farmer
to raise wheat ON high priced British
land. The next problem is to make
this land profitable in some other way.
The decline in wheat acreage this year
is 26 per cent less than 1894. This in
dicates that upwards of 100000 acres
of land have failed of cultivation be-
cause agriculture no longer pays.

When Lord Sholto Douglas married
a California variety actress it was ex-
planned that the bride was descended
through her mother from the British
nobility, and wss, therefore, her hus-
bands equal. The coarseness and vul-
garjty displayed by the mother in her
threat to publicly horsewhip her son IL
law go to sustain the claims.

The Cuban Insure ctiOn.
New York Times

There seems to be no doubt that the
patriot army in Cuba has been re-en-
forced. Almost fifty men from some
where or other, possibly from America,
have landed on the island and enrolled
themselves under the standard of re-
volt. This, of course, will force the
royalists to import at least so, 900 more
conscripts, and will delay active opera
tions on the part of Campos even
longer than the recent thunder shower
did. 1t does seem as if the extermi-
mating would never begin.

STILL FoRTY-Two VOTES.
No Material Change in the Senatorial
Situation Today.

The dispatch from Salem today shows
no material change in the senatorial
situation. Dolph holds his own and
neither gains nor loses. Williams loses
five from his vote of yesterday, while
Lowell gains one. The two votes for
Catch were probably cast for Claude
Catch, the present mayor of Salem, and
a son of Prof T. NJ. Catch, formerly
principal of the Wasco Independent
Academy in this city. The vote in de-
tail is: Dolph AZ, Hare 10, Weather
ford 8, Hermann 10, Williams 5, Lord 5.
Moore 1. Lowell 4, Barkley 1, Catch 2.
Cooper, who yesterday voted for George
H. Williams, today cast his vote for Mr..
Dolph, while Davis changed from Dolph
to Lowell.
The perplexity shows no sign of clear.
ing, and neither Dolph nor any other
man has better show of election than
last week. ES

The music by the quartette was very
much enjoyed. A feature of the evening
was the serving of hot 'thapjacks, +"
delicately cooked and very palatable.
Games and conversation caused the
evening to pass very pleasantly. A neat
sum was realized towards paying the
pastors salary.
Yesterday evening the wind suddenly

northwest. 1t kept up its gait all night,
Tattling the windows and otherwise Civ

while melting, has not disappeared as
it would before genuine Chinook, but
the day has been bright, full of sum
shine, and beautiful. The coasting is
ruined for the present, though there is
ice enough left on track if it should turn
colder, to again make it good.
