sels.
So far as the case of Missionary Krapp
Is concerned. it displays no feature OF nov
city, and the only point involved on lis
face IS the old question of extra-territo-
rlal jurisdiction BY our legation in Turkey.
The state department has insisted upon
the exercise OF this right Sseadfastfy, and
the correspondence sent 10 the present
congress relative 10 the Armenian troubles
shows that. although the Turkish govern
nenf always has interpoSed obstacles to
TIE exercise of the righe. il has generally
conceded the point. II is presumed that
THIS VII be the outcome of the case of Mr..
Knapp.
The more serious aspect OF the matter
is brought 10 light by the renewal of the
report that emanated from Constantine
lie some weeks ago, that there is TO be
= general expulsion of al foreign mis-
sionaries from Turkish Armenia, aud.
Notwithstanding the retscence shown at
the state department in reference to This
subject, 1t is believed there Is some foua-
datioa for this report
Probably the reserve shown by the de-
partment in Its treatment of this matter
Is 10 be accounted for by decision on
its part TO avoid giving offense to another
great power by making public the belief
that ms power is really responsible for
the attempt 10 expei she missionaries. but
that is the fact. and the story has come
TO Washington City with every appear
ance of veracity that the American and
other foreign missionaries are TO be driven
cut or Armenia in order to make room for
church that they. do not represent How
ever, this IS not TO be brought about With
out the most earnest resis tance on the
part or our government and il happeus
that the United States has a much bet
opportunity in the present case TO con-
sistentiy make the issue against the ex-
pulsion of its citizens than it would in
the case OF other nations than Turkey
As a general principle, we have conceded
the right OF u nation to expel objectiona-
bic foreigners from tts territories, but il
happens that In the case OF Turkey treaty
stipulations come to the rescue of the
missionaries in roundabout fashion
The French government has a treaty with
turkey explicitly comforting the right of
their missionaries to reside and work In
Turkey, and as the United States has a
treaty with Turkey including the usual
favored nation clause. the contention of
our government is that we have as good
right as the French to maintain
our missionaries in that country and upon
this point the issue will be made IL II
should finally come to the PRONUNCIATION OF
the Trade of expulsion.

Prediction Made That in Point

Teller Favors Endorsing BRYAN,
but Another Ticket May
Be Named.

ST. LOUIS. July 15.-The rush of poll
ticians to attend the Populist and Ma.
tional Silver conventions has not yet set
IN, although few of the leaders have
arrived. Chairman Taubeneck and
Sergeant.at.Arms Mcdowell of the Pop.
ulist national committee predict one of
the largest crowds that ever attended
convention.
There will be 1850 delegates" said
Chairman Taubeneck, representing
over 100000 voters. We have every
reason to believe that in point of mum.
bers attending it will far outrank the
Republican convention. We shall meet
IN the same building, which will afford
al opportunity to observe the strong
points Of difference.
Tho Chief Contention.
AS the Populists begin to gather it is
evident that there will be two ploposi-
tions made which will form the chief
contention Of the convention. One is
that the Populists shall abandon any
idea of separate and distinct national
ticket end endorse outright the candi-
dates and tho platform of the Chicago
convention. This proposition will be
supported by the friends Of Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, nearly all the Popu-
list members of the United States sen.
ate, and the Peoples party leaders in
many of the Western states. The West,
the Southwest and the Northwest are
nearly solid for propositions to endorse
MIR. Bryan and put up no other ticket.
The Southern Plan.
From aHe South come delegates and
party leaders who are not delegates to
the convention, urging another propo-
position-to put presidential ticket in
the field, adopt platform, run presi-
Dental electors in all the states where
the Peoples party has an organization,
and then when the time comes to cast
the vote In the electoral college, let the
Populists and Democrats combine on
the strongest man, whether that be
Bryan or the Populist nominee. Wig
Orous objection is urged against this on
the ground that it would be dangerous
to the common cause of free silver.
The convention Of the National Silver
party, which convenes in this city July
90 at the Exposition building, will vie
in numbers with that of the Populists,
which meets the same day.

the Presidency.
DENVER, July Ex-senator Teller has
returned to Denver from Manitou,
where he has been in conference with
Senator Dubois of Idaho and Congress
man Hartman of Montana as to the
conrse the silver Republicans shall pur-
sue in the approaching campaign. They
have postponed their conference until
other silver Republicans can arrive.
They will probably then issue state
ment of their position. Senator Teller
makes no concealment of his intention
to support Mr.. Bryan for the psesi-
dency. He says he is satisfied that the
Bryan people will make the financial
question paramount to all others in the
campaign, and that, if elected, Mr..
Bryan will devote himself with great
singleness of purpose to securing re-
turn of national bimetallism. Mr..
Teller believes Mr.. Bryan is a strong
candidate to begin with, and that he
will constantly grow with the people.

ADMINISTRATIONS POSITION
Assistant Secretary Hamlin's Statement
Believed to BE Semi Oficial.

Assistant Secretary Hamlin's Statement
Believed to BE Semi Official.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Evening
Star says: Assistant Secretary Hamlin
of the treasury department gave out
short statement during the afternoon,
in explanation of his position with re-
gard to the Democratic platform and
nominations. Iuasmuch as Mr.. Ham
lin represented the administration
forces at the Chicago convention, and
has been in frequent consultation with
Secretary Carlisle over the political sit
uation since the adjournment of the
convention, the statement made by him
will undoubtedly be accepted by many
as a semi-official declaration of the po-
sition of the sound money men of the
administration. This impression is
further strengthened by the belief that
Mr.. Hamlin has seen President Cleve-
land since the adjournment of the con-
vention. He spent several days at
Marion, near Gray Gables, on his way
Washington from Chicago. The state
ment referred to is as follows:
Mr.. Hamlin's Views.
"No political issue is involved in the
coming election. The question to be
decided is far deeper and more vital.
The perpetuity of Republican institu-
tions has been threatened. Every loyal
citizen should ally himself against the
forces which controlled the Chicago
convention, forces of lawlessness which
are inconsistent with the maintenance
Of the republic. Henceforth there
should be no Republican, no Democrat,
but union of loyal citizens against the
combined forces of reputation and dis
order. When once this dangerous ele-
ment has been stamped out at the polls
by an indignant people we can again
divide and discuss those political ques.
tions which for generations have kept
alive the two great political parties"

JONES is CONFIDENT.

Democratic Chairman Predicts the Elsc-
tion of Bryan.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Jones
of Arkansas, the new chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, has ar.
rived in Washington. In an interview
he confidently predicts the election Of
BRYAN. He declared that the silver
sentiment which prevailed at Chicago
was but a sample Of that existing over
the country. The financial issue will,
be saws. be forced to the front and the
Republicans will be- kept on the de.
fensiye. There will be little or no talk
on the tariff except to insist that the
