Mourad Bey. who ia his absence from

death by default, Is the bold official
who last October made personal APP

tan saw this faithful counselor, and
for ruoment new era seemed about
to dawn in Turkey. We give below
his own account OF his interview. which
he afterward published In Paris.
"rhe sultan" said Mourad Bey, gave
ne an audience, and in a tete-a-tete of
more .han two hours duration the
most complete agreement seemed TO

future of my country. Alas. my hap
piness was of brief duration. A few
days later KAN Pasha was dismissed,
and the honest element of the ministry
had TO give place to corrupt men who
had long been denounced by public
opinion. The day after Lord Sails
bury's Guildhall speech presented my
self at the palace. The sultan, instead
Of receiving me. contented himself by
sending me a smooth message by his
first chamberlain. i was convinced
from that moment that there was TO
hope of doing any good with sovereign

my appeal in its Favor 10 the civilized

Mourad Bey kept his word. He con-

him on the Bosphorus; and the means

the sultan. "thnt perturber of the pub

was feasible. Some patriots offered to
sacrifice their lives 10 achieve their
country's liberty; but IL wns-deemed
the wisest course TO make a further
appeal 10 the public opinion of Europe.
Mourad Bey himself accepted the mis-
sion of denouncing his sovereign
mission distnsteful and even sayoring
of sncrilege TO the Mussulman; but.
justifying his conscience by the re-
quirements OF the supreme interests of
his country, he went forth into exile.

indigestion in Poultry.

Indigestion is one Of the comInonest
troubles of fowls and one of the most
easily prevented. Grit takes the place
of teeth with fowls. 1t requires to
be sharp in order TO grind up the food
and prepare IL for digestion. Yet how
often Is the supply deficient? Crushed
oyster shells or sharp gravel should be
accessible TO the hens. Acldity of the
stomach Is the result OF indigestion. 1t
may be. corrected by mixing very fine
pulverized charcoal with the food or by
keeping a supply Of broken charcoal in
the neighborhood of the fowls. One OF
the best methods of giving IL Is TO char
couple OF corncobs once a week in the
oven and then let the fowls have them
to peck at. The feeding of charcoal IL
excellent ut all stages OF the hens exis-
tence, but II is particularly deslrabIs
when the fattening process is going on.

she displays a sentimental fondHsss. OF

THE BLUE BOOK ERRATA.

Lord Salisbury Thinks Materially Strength
ems the British Side of the Case.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-All the cor
,rections referred to in the parliament
ltary paper issued yesterday, refer ex-
.clnsively to the argument usually
credited to Sir Frederick Pollock,
which covers the first AZ pages of the
British blue book, and do not affect
the remaining 401 pages to which the
Venezuelan commission attaches much
Importance. As already stated in
United Press dispatches Lord Salisbury
rhiDlks the corrections materially
strengthen the British side of the
question.
Prof. Pollock's argument, while con-
.sidered to be an able advocacy of
the British contention as supported
by the evidence in the blue book, has
not the same conclusiveness attached
to it in Washington as in London, and
the Venezuelan commission awaits
with more interest the promised addi-
aions to the evidence which is to be
furnished in a supplementary paper.
The commission is devoting all It's
time to the study of documentary evil
dence, and does not dwell much upon
opinions from whatever source they
may come.

WAsHINGToN, March 27.-The con-

short session, agreed to the resoiu.
tions as they originally passed the
senate. This shuts off all further de-
bate in the senate. The house, it is
believed, will agree to the report with
out delay. In the form, as thus agreed
to, the resolutions are as follows:
Resolred. by the senate (the house of
representatives concurring therein),
That, in the opinion of congress, a
condition of public war exists between
the government of Spain and the gov
eminent proclaimed and for some time
maintained by force of arms by the
people of Cuba; and that the United
States of America should main
tain strict neutrality between the
contending powers, according to each

ports and territory of the United
States.
Resolced, further, That the friendly
offices of the United States should be
offered by the president to the Spanish
government for the recognition of the
Independence of Cuba
