STATE OF AFFAIRS IN TURKEY.
There Is Prospect That Americans
Will Be Protected.

Occurrences in Turkey have continued to excite
concern. The reported massacres OF Christians in
Armenia, and the development there and in other
districts OF fanatic hostility to Christian influences,
naturally excited apprehension for the safety of
devoted men and women who, as dependents of
the foreign missionaries societies in the United
States reside in Turkey under the guarantee OF
law and usage and in the legitimate performance
or their educational and religious missions No
efforts have been spared in their behalf and their
protection in person and property has been ear
nesty and vigorously enforced by every means
within our power.
regret, however, that an attempt on our part to
obtain better information concerning the true
condition OF affairs the disturbed quarters OF the
ottoman empire by sending thither the United
states Consul at Sives TO make investigation and
report was thwarted by the objections OF the Turk
lsh government. This movement on our part was
IN no sense meant rs gratritous entanglement
OF the United States in the socalled Eastern ques-
ton, nor as an ofcious interference with the right
and duty which belong by treaty TO certain grea.

politicai matters affecting the good government

RUSSIA'S TACTICS TOUCHED.
Evils of the Practice of lnterrOgating
Her Citizens in This Country.

The coronation of the Car Of Russia Mt Moscow
in May next invites the ceremonial participation
of the United States, and in accordance with usage
and diplomatic proprety our Minister to the i'm
peria court has been directed to represent our Gov
eminent on this occasion.
Correspondence is on foot touching the practice
of Russian Consus, within the jurisdiction OF the
United States, to interrogate citizens as TO their
race ana religious faith. and upon ascertanment
thereof to deny the Jews passports or legal docu-
nents for use il Russia. Inasmuch as such a pro-
ceeding imposes disability which, in the case Of
succession to property in Russia may be found to
infringe the treaty rights OF our citizens, and
which is obnoxious invasion of our territorial
Jurisdiction it has ELECTED fitting remonstrance
the result OF which, it is hoped, Will remove the
canse of complaint.
The pending claims Of sealing vessels Of the
United States seized in Russian waters remain I'M
adjusted. Our recent convention with Russia es-
tablishng modus vivendi as 10 imperial lursdic-
ton in such cases, has prevented further difficulty
of this nature. The Russian Government has well
com ed in principle our suggestion Tor a modus vi
vend TO embrace Great Britain and Japan, look
ing TO the better preservation of seal lie in the
North Pacific and Boring Sea, and the extension OF
the protected area defined by the Paris tribunal to
all Pacific waters north OF the thirty parallel
1t is especially noticeable that Russia faVors pro
hibition of the use of firearms in seal-hunting
throughout the proposed area and longer closed
season for pelagic sealing.

BERING SEA ARBITRATION.
Cleveland Thinks the British Should
Be Paid for Seizures.

Our relations with Great Britain, always init
mate and important have demanded during the
past year even greater share OF consideration
than is usual. Several vexatious questions were
left undetermined by the decision OF the Bering
Sea arbitration tribunal. The application of the
principles lad down by that august body has not
been followed by the results they were intended to
accomplish, either because the principles them
selves hacked in breadh and defniteness because
their execution has been more less imperfect.
Much correspondence has been exchanged between
the TWO Governments on the subject of preventing
the DISCRIMINATING slaughter OF seals. The INSULT
cheney of the British patrol Of Boring Sea under
the regulations agreed on by the two Governments
has been pointed out. and yet only two British
ships have been on police duty during this season
in these waters. The need of more effective en-
forcement of existing regulations, as well as the
adoption OF such additional regulations as expe-
rience has shown TO be absolutely necessary to
carry out the intent of the awards. have been
earnestly urged upon the British Government, but
thus tar without effective results. In the mean
time the depletion OF the seal herds by means
OF pelagic bunting has so alarmiDgly progressed
that unless their slaughter is at once effectively
checked their extinction within a few years seems
to be matter of absolute certainty.
The understanding by which the United States
OF S425, 900 in full settlement of all British
claims for damages arising from our seizure of
British sealing vessels unauthorized, under the
award OF the Paris tribunal OF arbitration, not
confirmed by the last Congress. which declined to
make the necessary appropriation. l still of
the opinion that this arrangement was iudicous
and advantageous one for the Government and
earnestly recommend that it be again considered
and sanctioned. II, however, this does not meet
with the favor of Congress II certainly will hardly
dissent from the proposition that the Government
is bound by every consideration of honor and good
faith provide for the speedy adjustment OF these
claims by arbitration the only other alternative.
\ treaty OF arbitration has therefore been agreed
upon and will be Immediately laid before the
Senate. so that in one OF the modes suggested. a
final settlement may be reached.
Notwithstanding that Grea: Britain originated
the proposal to enforce international rules for the
prevention Of collisions at sea- based on the recon-
mendatioDs of the maritime conference OF Wash
ington, and concurred in, suggesting March l,
1895, as the date to be set by proclamation for
carrying these rules into general effect, her Males
tvs Government, having encountered opposition
the part Of British shipping interests. announced
its inability TO accept that which was consequently
Cancelled. The entire matter is still in allegiance,
without prospect of better condition in the near
future,
