thanks for the honor conferred, assur-
ing the caucus he would be faithful to the

BRILLIANT ARRAY OF BRAINS.
Harrison and Many Other Leading
Lights in Court.

Washington, Jan. %. - There was
an unusually large and distinguish
ed gathering of talent in the
United States supreme court room to-day,
and consequently there was more anima-
tion observable in the members OF the
court and the court officials than gem
orally marks the proceedings in that au-
gust tribunal
The most conspicuous man within the
bar was eN-President Benjamin Harrison
whose presence in washington is due TO
his connection with the California irriga-
uon case now pending before that court
The eX-President was the object OF con-
siderable interest. especially from the fair
sex who were numerous among the visit
ors. He has not changed much in per-
Sonal appearance since his retirement from
the presidency and there is a lover-like
sparkle I'm his eyes that has displaced the
look of care and anxiety that sometimes
showed in those organs, when the cares
of state pressed heavily. upon him.
When it was known that Gen Harrison
was in the court room the crush Of visi-
tors was very great, but the ex-President
was apparently unconscious of the inter-
est his presence created. He was not per-
mitted to monopolize all of the attention,
for in the court room at the same mo-
ment were ex-senator and eX-President
pro tempore of the Senate Edmunds who
resembled more than ever the figure Of
st. Jacob, used in the advertisement Of
a well known patent medicine. Ex-At-
toTney General GdrlanQ, VINO was the sem
atorial chum OF the ex-senator from Yer
mont, when the two men We're members
OF the Senate. was also present.
There was also Joseph f. Choate and
his brilliant young associate, Mr. Guth-
rte of New York, who played such a con-
sptcuous part in convincing the supreme
court that the income tax was unconsti-
tutional. Seated at the same table was
James c. Carter. who opposed Messrs.
Choate q Guthrie in that famous case
Attorney General Barber of South Car
olina and eX-Congressman Nathaniel
Hammond of Georgia, were also members
of an exceedingly interesting and able
group.

A NEW Russo-TURKIsH TREATY
An Offensive and Defensive Alliance
Reported.

An Offensive and Defensive Alliance
Reported.
London, Jan. ga dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Pail Mall Gazette says:
AN offensive and defensive alliance has
been concluded between Russia and Tur-
key. The basis of the treaty is on the
lines of the Unkiar-Skelessi agreement.
The treaty has been signed here and its
ratification has been exchanged at St.
Petersburg between Aarej Pasha and the
car.
m. Cambon, the French ambassador to
Turkey, had an audience with the sui
tan on Jan. p, which lasted two hours
This tends to show that France is in all
probability a member of the new alliance"
The Gazette's correspondent is believed
to be inside of the British embassy. Tine
Unkiar-Skelessi agreement dates back to
1898, and amounts to a reduction of I1Ir-
key to the position of vassal state The
treaty bound the Russian and Turkish
governments to mutually assist one an
other to resist foreign aggression and helm
each other in case of internal danger. AS
Turkey was at the time of the conclusion
of the agreement in a state of utter col
apse, Russia waived the matter of assist
ance promised by Turkey and received
instead permission in the event of Rus
sia's being at war to close the Dardanelles
to the warships of all nations. The west
ern powers refused to recognize the treaty
which was soon tacitly abandoned.
The Pail Mall Gazette guarantees the
reliability of the sources of Information
OF its representative at Constantinople.
The foreign office officials profess to
know nothing whatever of the alleged Of
fensive and defensive alliance between
Russia and Turkey and attach no impor-
tance to the statements concerning it pub
lished in the Pail Mall Gazette
Dispatches received here show that igno-
ance is declared in official circles in Paris.
Berlin and Vienna of an offensive and de-
fensive alliance having been entered upon
by Russia and Turkey. In some quarters
the report is characterized as ridiculous
Nevertheless il is widely admitted that
the recent known exchange of communi-
cations between Russia and Turkey justi-
fy the expectation OF some agreement

London, Jan. 23.-The Daily News will,

DR.. Barth, a leader of the radical union
ist party, asked Chancellor Won Hohenlohe

Herr Won Kardoff, the German cham~
pion Of bimetallism and leader of the ag-
rarian party. challenged the production of
proof that any one of the German bi-
metallists had been paid to represent
American interests, and declared that Dr.
Barth was an infamous liar
DR.. Barth sprang from his seat and
hOtly declared that such a remark was
an infamy and an outrage on debate.
