CONCESSIONS BY TURKEY
She is in 0unciiatory Mood Toward the
United States.
Rights to BE Granted to Former Citi-
sens of the Empire Natur.
alised Here.

II all reports are true, the Turkish gov
ernment II In q most conciliatory mood
toward the United States, and there will
be no dimculty in reaching a satisfactory
agreement on all questions at issue be-
tween the two governments. As has been
already stated in The Star, the porte has
acceded to the persistent demand of the
United States by authorizing the peaceful
departure from Turkish territory of the
families of Armenians who have become
haturalized citizens Of the United States.
In addition to this concession, 1t is now
said that Turkey has made another of even
still greater Importance, being the conclu-
sion of treaty guaranteeing all former
subjects Of Turkey who have become nat
uralfzed citizens of the United States full
protection and rights when visiting the
sultan's dominions
A Most Important Question.
This question is one of the most import
ant the administration has had to contend
with in dealing with Turkey, and hereto
fore the most urgent and persistent sol:ci-
tations Of Minister Terrell that the sultan
should respect our passports. as all other
civilized countries do. with the exception CT
Russia, have failed. 1t is said that as soon
as the proper steps can be taken by the
United states the sultan will be ready TO
ieoPeH the question:, WIN the exception
that 1t can this time be concluded to the
satisfaction Of each government
Some years ago a treaty was negotiated
between the two governments accord ng
certain rights to citizens Of Turkey who
had become Americans. The Senate con-
sidered 1t for several weeks and finally sent
Il to the State Department amended in such
a maj ner that it became distasteful to the
porte. which afterward declined to accept
It, Since then every effort of the State De-
partment to reopen negotiations has failed,
and the American minister and the Secre-
tary of State have had great trouble in Sc
curing the pro lection of Armenians and
other former subjects of the sultan residing
temporarily in the empire. Hundreds OF
passports issued to Turks returning homo
have been ignored, and the relations of the
two countries have consequently been
greatly strained.
MOustnpha Bey's InstructiOns.
III the report is true, 1t is probable tha,
Moustapha Bey, the new Turkish minister
has been authorized to conduct the neso-
tiations on the part Of the sultan, and that
there will be no unnecessary delay in
bringing the matter to the favorable con-
sideratiop of the administration
TIE new minister will probably be for
mally received by the President at the
White House tomorrow. and /: is possible
that the addresses to be exchanged will
have more significance than is usual with
such formalities.

TO CATCH woRKINGMEN.
An Advertisement Alleged to He for
Campaign Purposes.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CHICAGO, October 2O.-At republican
headquarters here it is alleged that the
Bryan managers are adopting various de-
vices to deceive the laboring men, This
mornings Chicago newspapers contain an
advertisement which republicans say was
paid for by the Bryan managers announc-
frg, IF Bryan is elected, the mixed gold
silver mines of the western states will need
at once fifty thousand miners, and at least
five hundred thousand .tmen will find en-
ployment at good wages in other branches
of labor" @ 80
Applicants are advised to address nam,
given at Helena. Mont. for any mining
for the purpose of CT eating an impression
that laboring people aren to be in great de-
msnd in the event Of Bryan's success.
Wren laboring men understand" said
leading republicaniat headquarters TODAY.
that this, is a deception and fraud, and is
paid for by money! contributed by silver
mine owners. who, already have in their
employment as many men as they can give
work, and that tSis simply deceit thew
will not be misled.H -
Republican managers claim to know that
there is to be sensation sprung for labor
circles at Bryan feadqnarters daiIv until
the close of the campaign. Chairman Jones'
Endorsement of Chairman Hanna's sugges-
tion that Saturday of fnext week be set
aside as flag days IN the campaign, and
that the display of the ma tional colors by
voters will mean an intention to support
sound money, is an open admission, they
hold, that the Bryan managers fear the eff
feet of the flag.
The effort of the Bryan managers, they
say, will now be to have the colors dis
played by as many of their supporters as
possible in order to create the impression
that the insignia means nothing for the re-
publican cause. .ssr
Gov Altpeld has been going tbrouoh Il,f
nois for two weeks denounclng republican
managers and sound money democrats for
advocating the display of the American
flag. He says that the Haunting of the nag
In this campaign Is an insult: that the nag
is not endangered or menaced by the free
silver proposition. AS q consequence 1t is
alleged, the flag has been torn down by
free silver democrats in many localities.

The purpose of the play, as. of the novel

more especially their unanimous hospitality

A patriotic devotion to our countrys honor

call of interested citizenship. Let the ban
ner that has never known dishonor triumph
antly wave over our public buildings and
thoroughfares; float in the autumn breeze
from the homes of those who believe that

or class prejudices; that the happiness, the
prosperity ana common welfare OF our cOun-
try can only be promoted and maintained
by a financial policy as untarnished as our
countrys ilustrious history.
Our honor and credit should at all times
be above reproach. A government of the

of national honor and common honesty as
against any and all forms of reputation
in the affairs pertaining to its welfare.
