EMPHATIC PROTEST MADE
Against Language Used ID President
CleveIand's Message
The Sultan of Turkey Is Mad and 4
Rupture of Diplomatic Relations
Is Seriously Threatened

NEW YORK, Dec. ia special from
Washington to the World says: Presi-
dent Cleveland has been called to ac-
count by the sultan of Turkey. An en-
phatic protest was made yesterday by
the Turkish government against the Ian
guage used in the presidents S message to
congress respecting the massacre of Ar
menians and the general conduct Of the
government toward the Christians in the
empire.
The situation is said to threaten the
rupture of the diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey.
Mustapha Bey, the Turkish minister, it
is rumored at the state department. has
intimated that If some amendments are
not made by the president he will be
obliged to ask for his papers and will
return to Constantinople.
The displeasure of the sultan was
made known to- Secretary Olney on
Thursday by Mustapha Bey. in accord
ance with a cablegram received Wednes-
day from his home government. The
interview between the minister and the
ecretary of state is described as ex-
ceedingly interesting, and somewhat ex-
citing. Mustapha Bey began by stat
ing that his government had instructed
him to make IAN emphatic protest"
against the harsh and unjust language
used by the president in his public ut
terances concerning power with which
the United States sustained friendly di-
pomatic relations.
This was accusing President Cleveland
of diplomatic discourtesy, but the min
lister made it still more serious by stat
ing that the sultan regarded President
Cleveland's message as the argument
of an advocate, in that he presented only
one side of the case. although he pos
sessed complete information regarding
the other, or Turkish, which had been Of
ficially communicated to him.
The minister also called attention to
various grievances that his govern
ment entertains against citizens Of the
United States. He said they had libeled
the sultan and abused the Turkish gov
ernment, and had been allowed to Go
so unreprimanded by the president, al
though some of them were public Off
GERS.
Complaint was also made agains.
American missionaries in Turkey, who
were charged with melting the Arme =
mans against the Turkish government
and with aiding them by assisting or
concealing the manufacture of dynamite
bombs in Christian churches. 1t is said
that Mustapha Bey presented what the
Turkish government regards as proof
now on file in the department. Among
those accused are DR.. Cyrus Hamln, The
Congregational minister. and Drs
Dwight and Washburn of Roberts COL

Miss Collins Of Kentucky and T. p. Put

Free-Thought Problems.

Associated Press Special Wire
BOSTON, Dec. 12.-Mary L. Collins and
Samuel P. Putnam of Chicago were
found dead today in a room occupied by
the woman. The gas was turned on.
The woman was 20 years old, the man
about so. Indications are that the couple
committed suicide last night. Miss Col
Inns and Putnam were lecturers. He ac-
companied her home last night.
After looking into the matter. the po-
lice discarded the suicide theory. They
found that Mr.. Putnam and Miss Collins
were to have gone to New York this af-
ternoon to attend a farewell banquet to
be given to a number Of their club upon
the eve Of their departure for the old
country. It was also found that the
gas escaped from valve at the back Of
the regular valve, which had been placed
there for the purpose of attaching lamp
tube, and 1t is thought the cock of the
valve was accidentally turned ON when
the other valve was lighted.
Mr.. Putnam was we'll known in free
thought circles, and was the author of
a book entitled -Four Hundred Years of
Free Thought, copy of which was found
in the room. 1t contains an elaborate
biography Of the writer. who was born
in Chichester, N. H. His father was a
Congregational minister at that place.
Putnam was fitted for college at Penn
broke academy, and entered Dartmouth
college in 1858. In 1866 he entered the
Theological seminary at Chicago, where
he remained three years, and then began
preaching in Evangelical pulpfts in Illi-
nois. In 1871 he joined the Unitarians
and subsequently he preached this faith
in many parts Of the west. Some years
later he became a free thinker
Miss Collins, while not very well
known in this section, is said to have
been very much interested in the work
she had undertaken.

c,al to the Commercial-T Tribune from

Inns, who, with T. P. Putnam of Chicago,
committed suicide in Boston last night,
is the daughter of D. T. c. Collins of

age was 81. In 1894 she began writing
articles for the Blue Grass Blade. an in

a study of the religions of the world and
had become proficient in that sort Of
knowledge. She lectured at a recent
