A DISPLAY OF FORCE
Everett P. Wheeler's Advice Regard
ing Turkey.
REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES DENIED
Americans Should Be Protected
Whenever in Danger.
SEIZURE OF SMYRNA URGED

Everett P. Wheeler of New York, a men,
Ter of the national Armenian relief commit
tee and of the committee of defense in New
York, that conferred a short time since
with President Cleveland and Secretary Oh
ney concerning American interests In
Turkey, read a paper on The Duty of the
United States in American Citizens in
Turkey before the American board of
foreign missions at Toledo Wednesday
night.
President Storrs. in introducing him. called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Wheeler was
not a member of the board, nor of Con-
gregational church, but is an Episcopalian.
He was invited to speak because he was an
eminent constitutional lawyer. He did not
represent the prudential committee as the
secretaries do in their several reports and
papers.
Mr.. Wheeler while deprecating war, advo-
Gated a show of force sufficient to bring
Turkey to terms in protecting Americans
and their property, and liz paying indemni-
ties for injuries and losses. He also pleaded
that other nations should be impressed with
the fact that his nation would engage in
a just war. II necessary. In part he spoke
as follows:
THE number of our citizens resident in
Turkey has greatly increased, and the
American investment Of property has riss
to the extent of over $4,000, 900. exclusive Of
the floating capital which may from lime to
time be employed solely Tor purposes OF
9ainful trade. During the last few years

ously enjoyed has been seriously imperiled.

No Doubt OF Turkey Yielding.

Il cannot doubt that the Turkish gov
ernment would yield at once to a show of
force. But until that force is shown, it
will do as its Mohammedan cousins i'm
Africa did at the beginning of the century,
and despise our treaties and ourselves 1t
is objected that such course is opposed to
the traditional policy of our government
not to interfere with the Quarrels and in
ternal affairs Of the nations of Europe This
is undoubtedly the policy of our country,
but il has never been construed to forbid
our giving ample protection to The persons
and property of our citizens residing in for
eign countries, or doing business with
them. 1t is not possible that any Christian
power would interfere to prevent the Unit
ed States, free as we are from any sus-
picion of desire for territorial aggran-
dizement in Turkey, from protecting the
rights the persons and the property of
our own citizens. England and America.
urited would be force that the continent
al powers would not care to encounter LIE.
us not think 1t small incidental advan-
tage that the protection We give to our
own citizens in Turkey will be recognized
by the Turks as a protection to the native
Christians They understand very well
| that the interests Of the one are Identical
| with those of the other Wherever tie
| native Christians have suffered our citi-
zens have suffered.
| Wherever our citizens have been pro-
| tected the native Christians have bsen
| to redress the wrongs Of the innooent
| and the suffering, is always right In he
present case it may become a duty. Hot
| that believe war would come. The whole
| history Of the Turkish government for the
| last century shows that 1t will Yield to- a
| resolute show of force which is under
| stood to be backed up by adequate power.
| But in this business it is very essential ia
| success that it should be understood. moi
only by the Turks, but by other nations
| that We do not fear war, and that il we are
| obliged to draw the sword in a Just cause
| We will never lay it down until that cause
| is vindicated and the object of the war ac.
| complished. Congress has pledged to tho
| President its support in whatever vigorous
| measures he may take for the protection OF
our citizens in Turkey. Let US pledge him
| ours"

'"The present administration has repeated
ly brought these grievances to the attention
of the Turkish government, and demanded
redress, but none has Leen made. Ameri-
can citizens in Turkey have the privilege of
extra territoriality;' they have the right OF
having controversies between themselves
and the Turkish government determined in
a consular court. The privilege given by
the treaty and confirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States cannot be en-
forced unless a sufficient number of consuis
are provided to enforce 1t. In insisting
upon stationing consuls at any place in
Turkey, where our citizens live and carry
on affairs in which protection is important
to them. this government Is simply insist
ing that the Turkish government shall OBJ
serve its solemn agreement.
President Clevelands message Of Decem-
ber 1885. was quoted. What China has
granted Turkey has refused. Indemnity
for the past and security for the future
are our right. Courteous requests followed
by persistent demands. have obtained neith-
er redress nor security.

support Demanded With Force.

Support Demanded With Force.
I'm the position in which Turkey has
placed US, is there any course consistent
with honor or duty but to support our de-
mands by adequate armed force? The
American government should send a pow
erful fleet to the Mediterranean. accompa-
MED by a sufficient number of regular
troops, and should demand, at the cannon's
mouth, what has been refused to milder
security be obtained. Unless We do this,
We expose ou- citizens to further outrages,
and their property to destruction. l do
not mean that We should lombard Turkish
cities Unless redress and security are
both assured, we should take possession of
Smyrna and other ports and collect their
revenues until indemnity for the past is OBJ
tanned and the cost of our occupation is re-
imburSed.
Moreover, We must place a guard
wherever American citizens are in danger.
We go to save mems lives-not to destroy.
The fleet we already have is far more than
a match for the Turkish fleet. The army
We now have is more than a match for any
troops that the Turks could send against
US. The whole Turkish empire is in state
of absolute unrest. In every part of IT
troops are required to keep down the native
population, who would be only too slad to
rise against their hated oppressors; most
of the Turkish troops are mutinous and
either poorly paid or not paid at all But
if it were otherwise, We should not hesitate
l do not think that an expedition of this
sort will bring on war

A WATER SPOUT AT SEA.
Terrified Hahan Immigrants on the
Steamer Naustria.

New York, Aug. lS.-As the steamer
Naustria from Naples. with 400 Italian
Immigrants on board. was nearing this
port on Friday evening. a gigantic
spout swept by the ship while deafen-
ing thunder claps smote the ears of the
terrified immigrants and flashes Of
lightning made the sky appear like a
liquid sheet Of fame.
A terrific thunder storm ragged for an
hour and then. at I O'Clock. there arose
on the oceans surface. two miles west
of the steamer. a big cone OF water,
with a yeasty mass Of foam at its base.
The cone had formed directly beneath
the black. overhanging cloud that
seemed 10 reach down toward it like n
huge finger.
Not a drop of rain had fallen, nor a
breath rippled the OCEANS surface.
The passengers were stricken dumb
with terror as they watched the cone
reach upward and join the ~overhanging
fringe of black mis- forming a column
Of swirling. seethiIg WAGER fully 30
yards in diameter at the base and four
feet thick in the center of the column.
At the top it spread out like an i'm
mense umbrella. Thus it came creep
ing toward the Naustria and the fear
stricken passengers at last found voice
in one grea; wall of despair. Many
fell on their knees and prayed. Others
tainted. Still the waterspout rushed
toward them with a noise like that OF
a million buzz saws. But as it neared
the ship its course was changed slight
" end the waterspyut. seething and
buzzits as it went. swept by not more
than 200 yards off the starboard side.
The passengers screamed as the i'm
mense column passed by and then
laughed and cried and Rugged one an
other in joy when they realized the
danger was past.

RECEPTION OF II HUNG CHANG
To Be Met by the President on a Naval
Vessel.

Washington, Aug.17.-Arrangements
are being completed as fast as posi-
BILE fer the reception CT Lii Hung Chang.
1t is settled as far as it can be in the
absence of definite information of the
plans of the Chinese statesman that the
president will receive the distinguish
ed guest in New York harbor upon the
Dolphin or some other naval vessel on
August 81. 1t is quite certain that in
case the president shall be aboard the
Dolphin the other vessels in the North
Atlantic squadron will be surrounding
her and the reception made as impress
sive as possible. 1t having been de-
termined that the reception shall take
place in New York. the only material
question to be decided is whether the
reception shall be in the city or on
shiIboard, but it is believed a naval
vessel will be utilized for the purpose.

: THE JOINT DEBATE.
ROOTS OPERA HOUSE FILLED TO
OVERLOOKING LAST
NIGHT.
Silver Advocate Arncld Finds in Mr..
Crumrine a Foeman Well Worthy
Of His Steel-Forceful Arguments
on the Great Issue Listened to
With the Greatest Attention.

The public debate between Mr.. Eli
.tional bank, and Mr.. c. P. Arnold, one
OF the prominent attorneys of our city,
took place last evening at Roots opera
house pursuant TO announcement in
the daily papers. 1t a safely be said
that nothing in the line of public dis
cussion OF the questions of the day has
been offered the people of Laramie this
year which would compare with this
event. 1t lis the first instance where
prominent supporters OF different po-
litical doctrines have met on equal
terms, and had it out" fairly and
squarely according to the light given
them.
The house was well filled, and a more
attentive and impartial audience could
not be found. People were there to
learn something about the political
situation, and they all felt that their
time had not been wasted.
At 8 O'Clock the speakers came on
the stage. and were loudly %applauded.
Henry Breitenstein was Mr.. Arnold's
associate, and Judge Hayford sat with
Mr.. Crumrine. Nellis Corthell acted as
chairman, and prior TO the commence
'ment Of the debate. stated to the audi
ence the terms on which the debaters
had agreed, and the amount OF time to
be consumed by each. He stated that
the opposing parties in the debate were
gentlemen who were in earnest in the
advocacy OF their respective doctrines:
that it had been currently reported that
Mr.. Arnold was so welded to the silver
cause that he would not let his dentist
put gold in his teeth; and that Mr..
Crumrfne could hardly he induced to
take part in the debate because he had
recently heard the German proverb,
Speech is silver: silence Is golden"
Mr.. Crumrine. in support of the St.
Louis platform of the republican party,
traced the evolution Of commerce from
the early civilization to the present
time. showing that The use OF gold and
silver had developed with the develop
ment Of the race, and illustrating the
point very APPLY. Continuing he said
in part: Just when gold and silver
began to be used as money. no one can
say. Probably the first mention Of
either n or the other being used In
this way is to be found in the Book Of
Genesis. the 23d chapter and the 10th
verse. 1t reads thus: And Abraham
%hearkened unto Ephriam and Abraham
weighed unto Ephriam the silver he had
named in the audience of the sons OF
Heth; 400 shekels of silver, current
money Of the merchant You will no
tice that it was weighed then as now.
Though there were various metals
used at different times as money. gold
and silver have been distinctively
money metals Tor all the ages Of the
past. and probably will be for all the
ages to come. AS money in those good
old days passed by weight. 1t was
necessary for every man to have a pair
tof scales. or to go to some one who
had in order to determine the correct
amount to turn over in payment Of his
purchase. AS time passed. a device
was hit upon that facilitated matters

In 1880, about the time the steam en-
CINE a invented, the consumption of
coal in Great Britain was some $780,
600 gross tons a year. 1t had risen to
81 1000, 900 tons in 1916: to 50.S75. coo

to l12,S75.525 tons in 1870; to LAG, $685.
1863 m in 1880: ISL. GA ,2SS tons In
1890. and 1Ss,277, 525 gross tons (21O,-
S70,S2S net tons) in 1894. The result
of the discussions on the subject of the
Britain was the conclusion thai II the
output increases in che same ratio as it
has for 20 or 80 years. the coal will be
exhausted in a little over a century.
These estimates are now regarded as
excessive. as it is conceded thai there
is in each nation a limit to Industrial
development, which, without consider
ing the great economies in the use of
fuel, will also limit the expansion of
coal production. Mr.. Gruener places
the limit for England at $50, OOO, 900
tons, which supports a mining popula-
ton OF l,000,0 900 miners and a work
ing population of 5000, 900.
In the United Stakes the production
of coal has been increased in a much
greater ratio than in Great Britain.
We cannot go back to the 18th century
and give figures of the production of
coal, nor is that necessary in order to
indicate how enormous has been The
increase in its production and con-
sumption in the United States. At the
