The Sultan Cannot Understand tho
Friendly Union OF the Powers.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-In spite Of the
fact that Sir Edgar Vincent, governor
Of the Imperial Ottoman bank at Con-
stantinople, has succeeded in bettering
the financial condition of Turkey by
suspending for a month the payment of
gold for banknOtes in order to give time
for the conversion into pounds Turkish
of the gold which is coming to the bank
from it's branches and the prolonging of
the concession to the Ottoman bank for
II years, it is believed that this will af-
ford only momentary relief, and that
together with the change of ministry at
Constantinople, it will have little or no
effect upon the political aspect of affairs.
May Have Been Exaggerations.
In view of the many startling reports
from Constantinople recently, it is pos
sibly just to believe that some of them
have been colored by exaggerations upon
the part of Armenians. But the main
fact does not appear to be in any way
altered by this coloring, and it is that
Armenia appears to be in a condition of
the most dreadful anarchy.
The latest review of the situation
came from Constantinople in a dispatch
from The Times correspondent in that
city. He telegraphs:

Standpoint.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-United States Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu.
sets has returned to this city from
Madrid. Owing to the prominently ex-
pressed views Of the Massachusetts sem
ator to the effect that the American
congress should take definite stand in
behalf Of the Cuban insurgents, it was
rumored that his visit to the Spanish
capital
Had a Broad Political Significance.
In fact it was stated that he was pur-
suing the inquiry as to whether prop
osition to purchase the island Of Cuba
by the United States would be enter
tanned by the Spanish government if
that matter was brought forward
This was all the further emphasized by

recognizing them as belligerents in
view of the resolutions adopted at pub
lie meetings held in various states of

=
A representative of the Associated
Press called upon Senator Lodge at his
hotel and questioned him concerning
the reports in circulation regarding the
purpose of his visit to Madrid. He said
that while he was at the Spanish capi-
tai he was fortunate in meeting many
of the men prominent in public life,
and among others Senor. Canovas del
Castillo, the Spanish premier, but that
in none of these interviews did he
broach the subject of the purchase of the
island of Cuba. The senator added
that he visited Madrid simply as tour.
ist and he desired to emphatically deny
that he had gone there for any political
purpose or that he had pressed any
views regar ding Cuba.

At the same time, it is understood
that the senator, while at Madrid
studied the Cuban question from the
Spanish standpoint, and in SO doing
gathered much information which may
be of use to him when the matter comes
up for discussion before the United
| States senate.

LATEST BIG RAILROAD DEAL

Reorganization Committee Of tho Erie
l. Secures Control of the Road.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 9.-An evening
paper says: In the quiet town of
Rampo, n. Y, stupendous railway
transaction was effected Wednesday,
The vast Erie system was sold to G. H.
Coster, Louis A. Fitzgerald and An
thony J. Thomas, the reorganization
committee, for $50, 900 over and above
the bonded Indebtedness of the road
The matter was kept a secret, and none
but the high officials know the time and
place of sale. For many months the
Erie has just managed to struggle
along under debt of nearly $73, 3,OOO,-
600. Reasonably bonded, it would be a
moneymaker. To effect this the serv-
ices of J. P. Morgan were enlisted, and
the sale was the result.
The Reorganization Scheme
is intricate and far reaching. 1t en-
braces a thorough rejuvenation of the
entire line from New York to Chicago,
provides for the canceling Of all present
securities by giving the holders stock in
the new company, and practically as
sures the future stability of the road.
The property that was sold is the
divisions from New York to Salamanca,
and from Marion to Chicago. A deal
was on foot to effect the proposed sale
of the "Nypano" from Salamanca to
Marion at the same time, and it is re-
ported that this has been done, but
General Manager Tucker of this city
could not verify the report.

Great Encouragement Is Felt by the
Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Consul An
thony Howell, at Cardiff has made a
long report to the state department
upon the bright prospects Of the Welsh
tin trade brought about by the rapid
rise in price of steel in America, which
threatens to make it impossible for
Americans to make tin plate at COM
petitive prices For the time being
despair has given way to hope, and all
concerned in the Welsh tin INDUSTRY
are looking forward to period-if not
of prosperity-of more constant work
and better wages. An immense i'm.
provement has taken place in the steel
trade, although as yet prices have not
been enhanced to the same extent as in
the states, and therin lies the hope OF
the tin plate makers, for il the price OF
steel is augmented to that in the United
States the Welshman would have nc
advantage.

Fall Which Will Likely
Prove Fatal.
The Injury Received a Week Ago
and He Was Thought to Be
Recovering.
A Relapse, However, Is Said to
Have Rendered That Almost
Impossible.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 9.-The condi-
tion Of Hon. Allen G. Thurman is SO &C.
rious that he is not expected to recover.
On Friday evening last Judge Thurman
had fall which resulted in serious
injury to his hip. No bones being
broken and his constitution being &C
wonderfully strong led to the belief
that he would soon regain his accus.
toned health. The effect of the ner.
vous shock appeared to have passed
away and Tuesday and Wednesday he
had improved 80 much that his physi.
clans and friends thought he would un.
doubtedly get UP again in a short time.
Thursday, however,
A Severe Relapse Occurred
and there is now but little hope that he
can recover. His vigorous constitution
may yet pull him through, but the
chances are all against him. This in
formation comes from members Of the
family.
Mr.. Thurman was alone in his par.
lor when he fell. He thought he was
strong enough to walk to the library
and back to his chair. In returning tc
his chair, he fell.
