SULTAN RECEIVES NEW WARNING.
Russian Ambassadors Talk Comes
NnrN NCnrIN to n ThrCnt.

Copyright 1896 by the Associated Prcss.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 2S.-The Rus
sian ambassador ON Saturday, acting in con-
cert with the representatives of Great
Britain, Frar ce, Italy, Germany and Austria,
had an audience with the sultan, Abdul
Hamid one of many such interviews which
have taken place within the past year on
the same subject that Of a better ad-
ministration of the affairs Of the Turkish
empire. The Russian diplomat began by
warning the sultan and the Turkish govern
ment that If the revenues ceded for the pay
ment OF the Turkish debt were touched the
European control of the Turkish empire
would be inevitable.
NJ. Nelidoff informed the sultan that the
czar guaranteed his personal safety and en-
gagged himself to maintain the sultans
safety in the event Of severe measures being
necessary upon the part Of tho powers.
The sultan. however, remained obdurate,
refusing his consent to any measure of
control, financial or otherwise by the
powers. To this the Russian ambassador
replied that the condition OF the Turkish
empire placed the throne and the caliphate
In imminent Thor iupon bhdul Hamid
remarked, impressvely: 81 may be the
last of the caliphs, but will never become
a second khedve"
In addition to these warnings NJ. Nelldon
sent a note to the Turkish government
and TO the palace and the most significance
Is attached TO IL in diplomatic circles. He
pointed out in precise terms the necessity
of the sultan following the advice of the
powers and acting in complete agreement
with their plans for improving the situation,
warning them once more that the sultan g
refusal to do so involves the most disagree
able consequences.
The ambassadors Of the powers will meet
again in order to discuss the situation, and
will roassemble In the future twice a week
until they complete their recommendations
to the sultan and his advisers. The envoys,
acting together will henceforth maintain
the strictest secrecy regarding their delibera-
tions and the action taken or contemplated.
and will not even inform the envoys Of
the other powers of the decisions reached.
These latest steps upon the part of the
powers are once again reported to have
produced a profound impression at the
kiosk, and in pursuance of the issuing of
the amnesty decree Armenian prisoners in
Asia Minor and in this city and vicinity are
being released daily in patches of fifteen.
LONDON. Dec. 2S.-A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to TIE Daily Telegraph says: VI.
Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador at Con-
stantinople, while here warmly advocated
military occupation OF Constantinople. The
council has convened to discuss this project.
The majority of the ministers opposed NJ.

nounced that he, also, was opposed to active

ton RCHnr riling Quinn.


LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times this morning renews his
surmises regarding opposition by European
powers to Intervention by the United States
in Cuba He says: "The Austrian court and
the government have long been uneasy over
the attitude of American jingoism toward
Spain and such uneasiness has long been the
subject of diplomatic talks. The queen re-
gent Of Spain is one of the most beloved
prnCesses of the Austrian house. The love
and respect she has won from the Spanards
have strengthened the affections reserved for
her in her own family, and there will be no
hesitation In demonstrating that affection
whenever 1t becomes a question of defending
the interests of the country whose honor she
protects with unmXed enthusiasm, and
which has become as dear to her as If she
had been born on its SOIL
The Times Paris dispatch further reports
that the Temps remarks upon the Cuban sit
uation that military successes and the at
titudc of the United States should facilitate
concessions by Spain. 1T would be tact

tion by explicitly suggesting to the Madrid

DEATH LIST REACHES TWO DOZEN.


Collapse of Il bridge In Alabama
Caused Fearful Loss of Life.
ST. LOUIS Dec. 2S.-A special to the Re
public from Birmingham, Ala, says: The
death list from yesterdays wreck at Ca
haba river, whereby a Birmingham mineral
railroad train dropped through a bridge
10 feet high on the Southern railway, ap-
pears to have grown to twenty-four. This
includes the death of w. ID. Rast, a bridge
foreman who was killed in a second wreck,
which resulted from a collision of construc-
tion trains at the scene of the first disas-
ter six hours after the bridge catastrophe.
Twenty-one bodies have been taken from
the river and since then 1t has been ascer-
tanned that S. C, Tibbs and wife who
boarded the Inflated train at Gurney for
Adair are missing. Tibbs and his wife had
been on visit to the latter's father, resd-
ing near Gurney. They went to Gurney
early yesterday morning and boarded the
train. Since then nothing has been heard
from them so far as can be ascertained.
Their bodies were not found in the wreck
and their absence can only be accounted for
by the fact that they must have been burned
up in the wreck. The railroad authorities
say that they have not received definite
inquiries about the Tibbs family, but know
nothing of them.
Andrew Bryson OF Blocton, one OF the
injured passengers, died at a hospital in
this city. This runs the number OF dead mp
to twenty-four. Bryson was frightfully
mangled and burned.
Several persons from Blocton who were
carly on the scene of the wreck stil declare
that twenty-sCven bodies were taken out
of the river and that the railroad authori-
ties are mistaken in the number killed. The
Blocton people seem to think that several
bodies were taken away by friends before
tho relief train left on its return trip with
the dead and wounded. The railroad Off
cials, however, are firm in the statement
that only twenty-one corpses were recOy-
cred They say all reports to the contrary
are TO their minds wild rumors. The fact
stll remains, nevertheless, that II is and
always will be impossible to know just how
many passengers were ON the train, and
who they we're or where they were going

DROWNED IN AN IRISH BoG
Family of Ten Persons Disappcars
During II Suhsincncc.

DUBLIN, Dec 2S.-A family of ten per-
sons and a number of cattle have been en-
quilted by the subsiding of a bog of 100
acres near Castle Island, County Kerry. 1t
is stated that other persons were drowned
at the same time and place
The subsistence of the bog seems to have
been an extraordinary affair, There were
terrible storms throughout the night and
about o'clock in the morning the people
in the district were warned by an unusual
rumbllng which they feared was caused by
an earthquake The bog which was be-
leved to be thirty feet deep and which had
long supplied the whole neigEborhood with
peat, was moved for several miles along an
old watercOurse, filling a quarry twenty feet
deep on the way, flooding the rivers of the
county with peat water and doing a great
deal Of damage At the DOnely homestead
ten persons have completely disappeared,
leaving no trace.

which is hearing the case, Nine. SIAM
bouloff when the trial was begun, declined to
attend, but in response to repeated requests
she attended the sitting of the court yester-
day, heavily veiled When her name was
called a deep silence fell upon the assem-
blaEc. The widow rose with great dignity,
and speaking with a voice shaking with
emotion she said; You have Insisted upon

your honorable court those who are known
to be the real assassins OF my late husband

"Is 1t not so? You know them, as all the
world does. Where are they? l do not see

Then with gesture fun of FIRE and indig-
nation she exclaimed, pointing to the alleged
murdorers of her husband: "Acquit these
miserable people. Summon before you the
really guilty men, who are at present the
government. | have nothing to add and l
will now withdraw"
This accusation from the widow of the
great Bulgarian statesman, known as the
Bismarck Of Bulgaria, made deep impress
sion upon the audience. which was com
posed of people belonging to the higher
ranks OF society.
The presiding Judge and procurator gem
eral public prosecutor) were so unnerved
by the terrible earnestness of the woman,
who thus forcibly denounced the methods
employed in the trial of the alleged muir
derers of her husband that they were una
BILE to put a single question to her and she
left the court room, picture of grief de-
mandng vengeance from tribunal from
which she knew so we'll that little or moth
ing could be expected.
The address OF Nine Stambouof is a
matter of general comment in the govern
ment newspapers today. But the keynote
of their remarks, taken from the leading
organ of the ministry of Prince Ferdinand,
is that the wife and friends of NJ. STAN
bouloff ought to have taken measures for
the protection of the man who, the govern

mental arrangements or was so convinced
of his own misdeeds that he sought death

ing his annual address, the topic of which
was: The Relation OF Economics to Jurs-
prudence"
Prof Adams in the course OF his address,
said; Convinced as am that much OF the
confusion in economic theory and Of the
discord in industrial life are alike due to
inadequate expression by formal law of fun
damental industrial rights, | desire to point
out, as well as | may, the character of the
confusion and disCord and to suggest the line
along which evolution in Jurisprudence must
proceed in order that harmony in economic
theory and peace in the business world may
be established"
the present discussion he accepts the CiC-
cronian definition of the word Jurisprudence
that the study of law must be derived from
the depths of philosophy and that by an eX-
animation OF the human NINA ana human
society principles may be discovered In com
parison with which the rules of positive law
are of but trivial Importance, that the im-
piled reasoning touches rights and duties
that are fundamental-that II is at once a
