THE TROUBLE AT TARSUS.
Protection Had Already Been Promis-
I'd the Complaining school Trustees


cd the Complaining school Trustees.
The memorial of the trustees of ST. PauPs
Institute at Tarsus, Turkey, was received
at the Department of State today. Some
surprise was expressed by the officials of
the department that such action should be
taken by the trustees, in view of the fact
that upon receipt of the telegram of Mr..
Crestie on Saturday Minister Terrell was
cabled, and replied that he had already
called upon the Turkish government, and
that protection had been promised. This
had all been published, together with the
fact that Admiral Kirkland had said that
the Marblehead would proceed to the Med
iterranean. The department feels that
everything possible has been done. Minis
ter Terrell said that the promise of redress
and protection had been made ON the 7th
instant. Acting Secretary Adee says that
the department was gratified to learn that
Minister Terrell had taken action, even
before the matter was brought to the at
tention Of the department.

Story of the Arrest of Fitzsimmons
Mt TexRrlsuna.

Texarkana, Ark. Oct. 3i.-(spectal.)-
Fitzsimmons and party reached here
over the Texas and Pacific from San
Antonio at $40 o'clock this afternoon.
Their sleeper stopped on the Texas
side of town while the regular passen-
ger coaches and engine came to n
standstill for twenty minutes required
by law on that territory.
Sheriff billiard OF this (Miller) county,
accompanied by number of deputies
and an officer from Little Rock bear
Ing the governors own personal au-
thority, at once boarded Fitzsimmons
car and proceeded to business.
The pugllist was seated beside his
wife with Sherlf' Houpt of Hot Springs
In close proximity.
billiard at once made known his mis-
sion and Houpt as promptly entered a
rabid protest, saying that he already
was en- route with him to answer before
court at Hot Springs. OF course
neither hau any authority to serve pro-
cess in Texas, so they rested on their
oars. The Clarke party had an order
from the governor requesting the train
master to stop the train after It had
gone nifty feet into Arkansas, but this
order was studiously ignored by that
official.
When the train pulled into Arkansas,
Sheriff billiard read his warrant to
Fltzsimmmons and Houpt did the same.
Purpose of the former Is to take the
lanky bruiser to Little Rock, while the
latter desires to land him at Hot
Springs. Betting is sixteen to one in
favor OF Sheriff billiard and Governor
Clarke.
Immediately upon entering Arkansas.
Sheriff Houpt read his warrant OF ar
rest to Fitzsimmmons, thus getting
ahead of the Miller county sheriff.
The two sherlffs We're having n warm
dispute as the train passed out. Two
prominent citizens met Fitzsimmmons
two miles from this city and offered to
carry him on Cotton Belt special
On the advice of Houpt he refused the
offer. This comes through railroad
men and cannot be fully vouched for.
