THE BAYARD RESOLUTION.
1t May Not be Called Up In the House
for Some Days Yet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Messrs.
Dingley, Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means. and Hit, the
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, had a conference to-day upon
the date at which the resolution con-
demning Embassador Bayard for his
Edinburgh and Boston, Eng, speeches
shall be considered in the House. Tt
was decided that it would be best not
to call it up until the calendar was clear
OF appropriation bills, unless in the
event that for some now unforeseen rea-
son it was deemed inadvisable to go on
with the consideration of the appropri-
alton measures. The resolution will be
reported to the House and placed on the
calendar within a day or two, but the
debate upon it, which is expected to
last two or three days, may not begin
for some time.

UNITED STATES AND TURKEY.
Reported Strain Between the Two
Governments Denied.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 4-The
reported existence of a strain between
the United States and Turkey in conse-
quence of the rigorous and persistent
measures adopted by United States
Minister Terrell for the protection of
American missionaries is wholly with
out foundation. As regards protection
of American citizens and the payment
of indemnity by the Turkish Govern
ment for the destruction by fire of
American buildings, it will be recalled
that none of the 2S,0O0 pounds de-
manded by the three chief Powers of
Europe for the killing and wounding
of the foreign Consuls at Jeddah last
May has yet been obtained by the
Powers, nor has anybody as yet been
punished for the outrage.
