TO FORCE A PASSAGE.

stantlaaplc for tho Destruction OF Amer
lean Missions In narpoot aud Marnsh
before Congress Meets.
WAsnINGroN, Oct. 1.-THE little dis
Z .tch boat Bancroft, of the United
States navy, no" about due at smyrna,
has not been ordered To force IA pas
sage through the Dardcnelles with or
without foreign aid This can be
stated on direct authority of the pres
ident of the United States. There is
no doubt that the Bancroft is going
straight To Constantinople just as fast
as her steam can carry her, or just rs
soon AS Minister Terrell makes re-
quest upon Admiral Selfridge for her
services as guard boat or dispatch
boat in the same capacity rs similar
light draught and light armored
dispatch boats are placed at the service
OF other friendly nations. This fact
was stated with explicit details IN
The United Associated Presses DIS.
patches from this city ON the
morning OF August Is, last. Some
attempts were made by the Chicago
Associated Press to discredit this i'm
portant piece of news, but the accu'
racy of the information has now been
confirmed in every particular. But
that any forcible passage of the Oar
danelles is in contemplation by the
United States, with or without Eu-
ropean support, can be set down MS
simply an attempt to exaggerate the
news originally given in these dis
patches. Undoubtedly the chief sig
natory powers of the treaty of Paris
have been informed of the purpose OF
the United States, and have given their
consent. Under such circumstances the
porte must of necessity acquiesce. In
passing, it may be stated that no
oniirns. ton has been received, either
from Minister Terrell or from any
other source, of the alleged unofficial
declaration of the Turkish govern
ment that it would permit no more
guard ships to enter the Bosporus
and considering that nearly ten days
have elapsed since this statement was
first cabled via Sofia, its authentic
ity is gravely doubted.
The Bancroft is going to CONSTANT
nople, which fact has been known
here since August - last. This /;
about ali there is TO say, except tna'
the United States is bound to have
some answer from Turkey in regard
to the destruction of American mis-
: sions in uarpoot and Marash before
the next presidential message goes
'uto congress.

Minister Terrell VIII Find Way ito Get
tho Bancroft In.

WASHINGTON. Oct. ii.-For some
time past the necessity of having
guardship q. Minister Terrells dis
posal has been a subject of earnest
discussion in the cabinet. and frequent
consultations have been had between
the secretary of state, the secretary OF
the navy ana the president, 1T which
the views of Minister Terrell, who was
exceedingly anxious that man-of-
war belonging to our government
should be in Turkish waters pending
the long-disturUed condition Of affairs
in Turkey, were thoroughly made un
derstood, and more than year ago q
decision in accordance with Minister
Terrell's wishes ia that direction was
reached, and ali details of the impor-
tant service were carefully and adj

Bancroft left Gibraltar a week ago
last Sunday night, and should have
reached smyrna, and probably did
reach that point, yesterday. steaming
at the rate of 300 miles per day.
If the navy department has been adj
vised of her arrival at Smyrna, IT has
seen fit to withhold the information.
The Bancroft assuredly started fol

the proper chiefs OF the navy depart
ment to fit her for guard duty in ths
Golden Horn, and she was 50 equipped
in August and September under ur

! is abundant information to the effect
that this government intends to col

trains bound east are stalled here or
have returned to Philadelphia. All
communication with Atlantic City is
cut of, and gangs OF men are trying
60 repair the bad breaks in the road
beds of the Reading and West Jersey
railroads.
At two o'clock the water rose to the
highest point since the great of storm
of 1859 and the high wind forced
the water in the bay against the
roads until the beds gave way and
in an hour or two deep cnts a
hundred feet long were washed out
through which rivers Of water poured
under the tracks in mighty torrents.
The breaks are the most serious that
have occurred on the Meadows for
years and it may be a day or two be-
fore railway communication is estab-
lished with Atlantic City. The wind
is still fresh from the northeast aud
this evening fears are entertained that
the next high water may greatly in
crease the damage already done.

Al cheese makers are troubled with
srongy curd, and there is no definite
knowledge rs to how it can prevented.
According to some recent experiments
by f. j. Lloyd, of the Bath and West
OF England Agricultural Societv,i it an
pears that lie has been able to define
at least five different organisms which
will bring about this condition in
cheese. One o. them produces the
f@cal faint 20 often found in curd. and
three have been found in water pol
Iuted with sewage IRON DWELLING
houses, or by the droppings of COWS.
AS no ordinary amount OF care on the
part of mixers can prevent such or.
6anlsms from coming into the milk
when they have become lodged on tho
bodies of the COWS, it is evident that
one step to be taken is to prevent ami
mals.from drinking from streams in
which they walk and the water of
which becomes contaminated. An
other very important point to be re.
membered with reference to the or.
ganisms which produce sponQy curd
is that they can be conveyed through
the medium of poultry, rs they have
been found in the droppings OF 10th
cattle and fowls. In view of this Mr.
Lloyd considers it desirable to prevent
poultry coming nearer the dairy than
is inevitable, nor should they be per.
mitted to run about in close proxim.
lty to the milking utensils which, af
ter cleaning, have been put out to dry.
These organisms, as rule, prevent
the development of acidity OF the curd,
SO that whenever they are present IN
tho milk, the cheese takes much long.
er to make thnn it would otherwise.
A common belief among cheese maxi
crs that the sailing O; the curd checks
the formation OF acidiiy, is described
es being entirely erroneous. -Amcri.

HYGIENE DRESSING FOR THE WHEEL.
Correct hygienic dressing for the
bicycle begins with the first garment
put on, which should be a combina-
ton or union suit of wool or silk, the
weight, of course, adapted to the sea-
son. Those who can wear wool will
find in it the best preventive to those
sudden chills to which the rider is ex-
posed when resting after an exhilarat-
ing spin. Knit underwear Of some
sort Is absolutely indispensable, and
the advantage of the union suit is the
avoidance ofunnecessary bands around
the waist and the overlapping folds OF
separate garments. 1t is well under
stood that petticoats have no place on
the wheel, but women agree to dis
agree as to what is the best dressing
next the skirt Some wear short
equestrian tights, but in case of acct.
dent, fall, or the ,disarrangemeut OF
the skirt from any cause, the exposure
of the legs is just as complete as if one
were dressed for stage ballet. For
this reason we'll fitted knick erbockers
are much the better choice; and if
made of silk or satin woman could
not wear anything more comfortable,
as the avoidance of garments that can
cling one to another is one of the first
conditions of "iit" dressing for the
wheel. If the skirt be lined with silk
the knickerbockers can be OF the same
fabric, or of wiry mohair or alpaca,
both which have the virtue OF never
clinging. With tan co!ored suits or
those of heavy linen for summer use,
pongee knickerbockers are just the
thing.
Skirts should be very moderate in
fullness-about two yards and halt
at the foot-and may be unlined or
lined with tafretn. If finished with
facing or hem on the inside, great
care must be exercised to see that it is
stitched on the extreme edge so that
not the fraction of mn eighth of an
inch be loose and afford opportunity
to catch on the pedals. To avoid the
possibility OF this some tailors turn
the hem or facing up on the right side
o' the skirt, and ornament it with
many rows of stitching; others finish
the bottom with narrow binding of
pliable leather.
The divided skirt is very generally
liked for its convenience in mounting,
and the ease with which it is adjusted
in the saddle; it falls readily and nat
urally with equal fullness on both
sides, and this is not always easy to
accomplish with the best cut round
skirt. Whatever the style it should
clear the ground by six or eight in
ches; shorter than this Is not only I'M
necessary, but also Objectionable, as it
is extremely liable to blow up above
the knees, when it looks worse aud at
tracts more attention than to ride
without skirt. -Demorest's Maya.
