CASE OF MIR. KNAPP.
Likely to Be Accorded Fair Treat
ment at C0nStantin0ple.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-It can be stated
on authority TINT there is no reason for
apprehension that Missionary Knapp will
not meet with fair treatment; and eventu-
ally be permitted to return to his post at
Bltlis, after he has undergone the forms
of clearing himself from the charges that
have been lodged against him of conspir-
acy against the government.
Early in the course of the Armenian
troubles, Mr. Terrell our minister TO Tur-
key, was instructed by the state depart
ment TO sec 10 iS.that any American citi-
zen, native or naturalized, who was ar
rested by the Turkish government he sur
rendered TO the United States minister for
trial.
Our government, against the opposition
of the porte in taking this step, held that
under the treaty OF 1880 it had the right to
exercise extra-territorial jurisdiction in
Turkey where American citizens are con-
cerned. Mr. Terrell was explicitly i'm
structed by Secretary Olney TO claim all
rights under the fourth article Of the
treaty, and TO offer 10 try any American
citizen charged with insurrection, re-
bellion, sedition or like offenses, or in the
event OF such offer being refused, to de-
mand the release OF the accused.
So, when Mr., Knapp was about to be
arrested by the local Turkish authorities
at Bitlis, and notified Mr.. Terrell, the lat
ter promptly addressed himself to the
porte, and after much difficulty, secured
the remission OF the trial of the mission
ary to himself. This necessitated the
coming OF Knapp to Constantinople, but
as there was gdod Assurance that the
charges OF sedition against the missionary
were without substantial foundation,
there was no reason TO apprehend that he
would not be promptly acquitted upon
trial before the United States minister or
his representative and be permitted to re-
turn TO his post. The Knapp case, there
fore, can be summed up rs follows:
Knapp is being brought TO the coast as
the result Of an agreement between the
Turkish government and Mr.. Terrell; the
minister has secured what ight be re-
garded as valuable concessions from the
authorities in having the trial OF the mis-
sionary taken out of the hands OF the
Turkish authorities and left to his own
court and, In order 10 stand trial, tho nc.
cused must make his appearance before
the American authorities at Constantine
ple.

Turkeys .Assurance.-

CoysTAYTINoPLE. April 1o.-The steps
taken in behalf of the missionaries in
Asia Minor have had n beneficial effect.
The Turkish government yesterday, re.
plying To the renewed representations on
the subject made by Ambassador Currie,
and the United States charge d'affaires,
John w. Riddle, assured the diplomats
that the missionaries in Asia Minor would
not be molcsted $50 long as they conform
with the laws of the country"
But this assurance does not carry with
IL the weight which it would in coming
from any other government, it Is claimed,
as there is no question but that tho Turk
ish officials have been trying To prove that
the missionaries are not conforming with
the laws OF the country" and IL was on
this ground that the sultan prepared and
probably signed the trade providing for
their expulsion from the Turkish domih.
ions.
But the publicity given TO the matter In
the press dispatches have certainly caused
hesitation at the palace, and IL Is now
thought likely that the trade will be with
held, at least until Russia has been further
consulted on the subject III Russia says
that the missionaries are not To be ex-
PEELED. the trade will not be made public.
On the other hand, IL Russia thinks her
self strong enough TO proceed with the
work of Russianizing Asiatic Turkey, the
trade may soon see the light OF dav.

Both Names Cheered at Hartford
Mckinley Clubs Banquet.

HARTFORD, April 1o.--The event OF the
year In Republican circles OF this city
the annual banquet of the Mckinley club
was complete success. Over 300 covers
were laid In the Allyn House banquet
hall. many OF those participating being
state leaders who were In attendance at
the meeting OF the Republican league.
Governor o. ". Coffin, owing to an en-
gagement at Grand Army celebration
in Waterbury, was not present. although
he and Governor Griggs Of New Jersey
held a reception at the hotel early In the
evening.
The dinner was presided over by Joseph
l.. Barbour. In his opening address no
alluded to the Republican leader In whose
honor the club was named. This brought
. storm OF applause from all parts of the
room, and n was over minute before Mr..
Barbour could proceed.
Henry 9. Robinson, In an address OF
welcome. referred to the sound policy OF
Thomas b. Reed, and the mention OF the
speakers name was followed by demon
stration quite as effective as the preceding
one. The name OF Major Mckinley,
Speaker Reed and ex-President Harrison
were loudly applauded whenever they
were mentioned. Other speakers were
Lieutenant Governor Moore OF Nebraska,
Ex-Governor Morgan q. Bulkelcy, John
Addison Porter and others.
The principal speaker OF the evening
was Governor John II. Griggs of New Jer-
sey The governor was accorded a rousing
reception. and in return delivered a good
speech. The following Is an extract:

BAY STATE LEGISLATURE.
A Decided Sentiment Against All Boxing
Exhibitions.

Exhibitions.
Boston, April lO-In the Legislature
Yesterday tho following important reports
were made by committees: Adversely on
the petition OF the Massachusetts, Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals
to prevent vivisection in schools; bills au-
thorizing 81, ,000, 600 for park purposes aud
81 100000 for parkways and boulevards;
adversely on the bill TO give West Boyls-
ton employees six months wages In con-
siderarion OF their work being taken from
them by the taking of land for metro
politan water supply; adversely on the
bill TO repeal the law exempting from tax
alton church property; bill authorizing
the appointment OF women as special COM
missioners To take testimony; against re-
laxing the laws relative TO licensing steam
engineers.
In the house, the second consideration
of the bill prohibiting all boxing contests
developed n sharp debate, and the bill was
passed by n vote Of l49 TO Al. The bill
aims to prohibit the public exhibitions for
purses as well as the scientific meetings Of
clubs, and is the most stringent measure
against this form Of athletics ever pro-
posed in the state.
Representative kelllher made an urgent
appeal for boxing in public and private,
and contended that the passage of such a
bill would tend TO drive the sport under
cover with disastrous results. He sub
mitted an amendment TO permit matches
where trophy not TO exceed S25 in value
was offered, which, with Mr.. Krebs' mo-
tion to exempt eight-ounce gloves, was re-
jected Representative Mellen of Worces-
ter referred TO the bill as bit of "maudlin
sentimentality."
The bill to exempt from taxation per-
sonal property situated and taxed, outside
the commonwealth and shares OF foreign
corporations was laid upon the table.
Mr.. Galloupe offered an order in the
senate providing that on and after April
IA that body shall sit regularly at y. m,
and, unless adjournment be reached at an
earlier hour, shall adjourn at 440 p. IN.
The bill relative to the hours of labor OF
women and minors in mercantile and
manufacturing establishments to prevent
compulsory overtime work was ordered to
o third reading-26 to 10.

of the debate was vigorous attack on the
