HARD HIT AT TURKEY.
Hepburn Urges that the Minister OF
the Porto BE Given Paasnorta.

Hepburn Urges that the Minister OF
the Porte Be Given Passports.
The national House Monday, after an
interesting four hours debate, adopted
the resolutions passed ny the Senate last
week calling on the powers signatory to
the treaty of Berlin to enforce the re
forms in Turkey guaranteed to the Chris
tian Armenians, and pledging the support
of Congress and the President in the most
vigorous action he might take for the pro-
lection and security Of American citizens
in Turkey. The House committee had
prepared some resolutions on the same
subject, but it was deemed advisable after
the Senate resolutions reached the House
to substitute them for those prepared by
the committee.
Mr.. Quigg, of New York, who had
charge of the resolutions, made an able
presentation of the case. There was a
disposition on the part of some of the
members to go further than the resolu.
tions did and Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, pro
posed to give the Turkish minister his
passports and sever all diplomatic rela.
tions with Turkey. His remarks denounc.
ing the Turkish outrages and charging
that the powers signatory to the treaty
of Berlin were actuated from political
and other considerations in maintaining
the balance of power" in eastern Europe
were received with great enthusiasm and
at one time il looked as if the House
might be carried to his way Of thinking.
But the counsel of Mr.. Hit not to take
rash action, in the course Of which he
pointed out the dire consequences that
might result from severance of diplo.
matte relations with friendly power that
had fulfilled her treaty obligations to us,
prevailed, and the Hepburn proposition
was Overwhelmingly defeated.
Mr.. Bailey opposed the resolutions on
the ground that it would be improper for
us to insult" the parties to the treaty
of Berlin by intimating that they had not
carried out their obligations. Mr.. Turner
of Georgia took a similar view and Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio characterized the res.
olutions as incomplete inefficient and
unworthy" and requested the committee
to withdraw them. They were finally
passed, however, by vote of 143 to 26,
after a motion of Mr. Bailey to send them
to the committee had been defeated IS
to 103.

HOW SPAlN'S RECALL OF CAM
POS Is REGARDED.
The Veteran Spanish General Is SUI
perseded by a Man Who IL Deeply
Hated for His Former Cruelty ON
the Is1and.
Situation Is Serious.

Cuba may bc free! The recall of Gen.
Martinez Campos by the Spanish Govern
ment and his replacement by Gen. Wey-
Ter is a strong indication that the situa-
tion on the island is critical and that the
insurgents are stronger than the Spanish
authorities hitherto admitted.
On the outbreak of the revolution ii
was intmated by Spain that the disturb
ance was merely local and that few
months would see the end of the trouble.
But the revolYtionists gained strength
every day, and then Spain decided to
send her veteran and most experienced
general, Campos. to take command of
affairs on the island.
He was given absolute authority to
call upon all the troops needed and ever
since the bravest and the best of the sol
diers of Spain have been sent to the un-
fortunate island. Gen. Campos announc-
ed that he would quell the rebellion in
three months. He had subdued the for
meE rebellion of ten years-1StjS-'1S- and
his announcement was accordingly re-
garded as well founded. But the three
months elapsed and Gen. Campos had
made no progress. On the contrary the

The immigration is reminder of the
rush to the West before the day of rail

-Four men and woman were captured
Saturday by a posse of farmers south OF
st. Joseph, with stolen horses, wagons
and harness in their possession. They are
members Of the Florence gang OF horse
thieves. The men are William Snyder. Al
Abel and A. Q. Rucker, and the woman IL
Cora Wheeler. Snyder was shot In the
face while the farmers were pursuing
them. The gang left Florence Friday
night and camped in school house south
Of the city. At midnight they started out
and stole two horses, a set Of harness ana
"a spring wagon. AT the next farm house
they aroused the farmer while stealing a
calf and the pursuit began ut once. The
pursuers increased in numbers, until ut
daylight there were fifty men after the
thieves. The prisoners were taken INTO
barn and whipped until they confessed
and gave the names of about twenty 9th
ers who are said TO be members of the or
ganzed gang.

BLOW TO THE q. A. r.



The next national encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic may go to
Buffalo. ST. Paul was the prize winner
at last years national encampment, but
the Western Passenger Association will
not make rate satisfactory TO the Grand
Army of the Republic. which fact may
change the place of meeting. A delega-
tion from st. Paul was in Chicago to try
to ''argue it out" and they brought the
Commander-in-chief Of the Grand Army
of the Republic with them, but the West
ern Passenger Association was obdurate
and held out for u high rate Of fare. SO
Commander-in-chicf Walker will call Il
council Of war 10 determine where the
next encampmcnt shall be held.
At last cncampment, which was held in
Louisville. il was voted that the next en-
campmcnt should be held in ST. Paul. A
stipulation. however was made that it
should go there only in case a satisfactory
rate could be obtained from the railroads.
The Western roads bid for the patronage
Of the q. A.. X. cncannment at 81. Paul
by authorizing Il rate of cent. per mile
for the round trip. with a seven-day limit
At the same time Il rate of one fare for
the round trip to the Knights Of Pythas
conclave. 10 he held in the same city in
August. WAS granted and Il thirty day
limit authorized Commander-in-chicf
Walker and prominent citizens of st. Paul
Immediately took issu. over the seven-day
limit placed on the q. A. X. excursion tick
cts. and every effort has been made to get
the Western Association Ia reconsider its
action and deal ~ fairly with the G.. A. r..
as with the Knights of Pythias.
With one exception the tickets to all the
Grand Army of the Republic reunions
held during the past ten years have been
based on Il thirly-day limit. The excep-
rion was the reunion held in Milwaukee.
A similar dispute took place at that time,
the Western roads refusing To deal liber-
ally with the veterans. Only one excuse
is put forward by the railroads for the
decided stand taken on the question. This
is that the thirty-day limit. if granted,
means a complete decentralization of rates
in Western territory and a rich harvest
for the scalpers.

cause. In any case II is not likely that
Weyler will make any greater headway
than Campos against the insurgents, led
by the veteran warrior, Maxine Gomez.
The latter Is one of the ablest military
leaders of his time-a man Of iron nerve
and astute judgment. He has led the in.
surgents victoriously from one end Of the
island 10 the gates Of Havana, 400 miles
distant, and this in the face Of sol
diery, greater in numbers and better
equipped than the patriots. When Weyler
meets him he will meet a veteran, ac-
quainted not alone with the science OF
warfare, but with every pass and road
and vantage point on the island.

bursementS at the colony VIII exceed SJO,-
600 month. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri are represented by a class Of
sturdy young men who have come to farm.
They say that the farms in their native
States have been cut up so small that
their fathers cannot afford to further sub
divide. The boys. upon coming of age,
have to strike out for themselves. Hith-
erto they have set their faces toward the
land beyond the Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, but they prefer more genial eli
mate.
The colony has bought $4,000 acres and
has options on 65,OOO more. The share
holders in the cooperative company get
their land at cost, which, however, in
cludes the outlay for surveying and grad
ing the entire tract, city lots and all.
Ex-Gov. William J. Northen, of Georgia,
sold the land to the colony at $3.50 an
acre. although some of it cost him a
great deal more. One thousand acres
were laid off for city site.
Like an Oklahoma Town.
At present the town site resembles
Oklahoma City or Guthrie thirty days
after the public lands were thrown open.
While most of the little pine board shacks
are grouped in one corner of the reserva-
ton, they are found struggling through
the forest for two miles. At night the
woods are Illuminated by huge bonfres
Of pine logs around which the settlers as
semble to discuss the future of the colony.
The tract of land upon which the colony
is located Is high, rolling ridge about
twenty-five miles wide and $50 miles long,
extending through half dozen counties
in Georgia to the gulf coast in Florida.
II Is thickIy wooded with the long-leaf
pine. The turpentine manufacturer has
worked some of the forest, but not all of
it. The lumberman has not yet made an
impression on 1t. The soil Is not of the
sandy character so common In south
Georgia, but Is dark, somewhat resem-
bling the prairie soil, except that this has
an iron pebble, which indicates a fine fruit
SOIL That the land will raise splendid
fruit has been shown by the success of
some Connecticut men, the lifts, and a
colony of Pennsylvanians who have set
tied on the western edge of the ridge.
All who were mt the colony believe firm
ly in its future. There are $4,000 men,
women and children already In the move
ment. Every train brings fresh arrivals
and the population is growing at the rate
of from 80 to 300 day. Next month a
railroad will be completed to the colony,
and by spring there will be another. The
soil Is unquestionably fine and the climate
healthful. Artesian wells strike water
mt depth of 100 feet. The settlers say
when the success of the colony is demon
strated there viii be a great movement
from the Northwest.

More wild West shant,es.

Since the raiding of the shanty few
days ago, where Benton Harbor boys con-
gregated and played cards and smoked.
two more shanties of similar nature
have been found and confiscated. In one
besides smoking material and cards were
found keg ove- half full Of beer. The
boys admitted where they got 1t and that
II was not the first. A warrant will be
issued for the saloonkeeper who sold 1t
10 them. The boys are all under Is years
old. Arthur Hull; one of the boys from
the frst shanty, was sent to the reform
school.
