New York. January as.--The Uuited
Press correspondent at Constantinople
sends the following under date of Jan
uary z:
cup to the pres ent the names of is
Protestant pastors have come in, al of
whom have refused Mollammedanlsm
and been killed. The Turks here are
very angry about the presents taken by
Aarit from the Sultan to the Czar The
Oriental Advertiser was suspended for
publishing the fact that Aarif left in
company with dragoman of the Rms
sian embassy. There is no doabt ne car
ried presents. The Turks think he sold
out the empire. 1t is even said that the
presents included stone of great value,
which IL regarded with veneration as a
talisman and whose possessor will domi-
nate the Emperor.
Selim Melhameh, the present minis
ter OF agriculture, mines and forest, was
put of the service of the public debt, and
being persona gratissma at the palace,
had the present office created for him.
Year before last he agitated the question
of an exposition and tax of ten paras
was put upon every ticket sold at the
ferries. This tax is still collected,
though exposition Is forgotten. 1t is said
that 6S. 00o pounds were thus collected
and deposited by Selim in the Ottoman
bank and that with the connivance of a
high Official in the bank, he speculated
and lost $4,000 pounds. He probably
has private property enough to replace
the sum.

GOLD BEGINS TO CcME.
The Bond Syndicate Reported to Have a
New Scheme.

New York, January 23-Small amounts
of gold arrived from Europe today to be
used in connection with the new povsrn-
ment bond loan, and further heavy re-
ceipts are likely within the next ten
days. Bullion dealers are still bidding
3s and 12 cents for metal, and are offer
ing it at 3-4 per ent.
The rumor generally credityd, was CIR
rent today, that certain members of the
old Morgan bond syndicate had reformed
on different lines. It was said that the
new com binetion will bid kor a block OF
from thirty to forty millions of the
bonds. at a stated figure and each In
dividul member will put in a separate
bid at figures to be determined upon bv
themselves. This would furnish bids for
$50 00O. 900 alone. If by chance the new
combination should obtain the bonds.
each subscriber will be apportioned the
amount he signs for Should individual
bidders get the full amount of their sub
soript1ons or part thereof, the bonds will
be divided pro rata. Nothing official
could be obtained on the matter.

THE SILVER POSITION.
The silver convention adjourned sine
die after adoption ara address to country.
The address says:
The paramount issue at this time in
the United States is the money question.
1t is between the gold standard, gold
bonds. and bank currency, on the one
side and Di-metallic standard, no bonds,
and government currency on the other.
We are unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard and demand an immediate
return to the constitutional standard of
gold and silver by the restoration by this
government Independently of any foreign
power of the unrestricted coinage Of both
gold and silver into standard money at
the ratio Of 16 to l, an upon terms of ex-
act equality as they existed prior to 1873,
silver coin to be full legal tender equally
with a gold for all debJs and dues public
and private.
We hold all currency intended to circu-
late as money should be issued, its
volume controlled by the general govern
ment only and should belegal tender.
We are unalterably opposed to the issue
by the United States of interest bearing
bonds. IN time Of peace. We denounce as
a blunder worse than a crime, the present
treasury policy concrzIed in by the Re-
pyllican House. of plunping the country
vain attempt to maintain the gold
standard by borrowing gold and we de-
mand the payment Of all co.ii obligations
of the United States as provided by con
stitutional laws In gold or silver coin, at
rhe option of the government and not at
the option of the creditor.

BOOMING PATTiSON,
Pennsylvania Will Urge Him For Demo.
cratic Nomination.

Philadelphia, January 22.-There is
every indication that ex Governor Robert
e. Pattison Will be the unanimous
choice of the Pennsylvania delegates to
the Democratic convention in Chicago
for President.
There is strong sentiment in this city
and in the state among Democrats that
the ex ex-governor should be pressed for the
Presidential nomination this time.
AS his friends are in control of the ma
tional delegation it is believed that moth
ing except his positive refusal to be a
candidate will prevent the presentation
OF his name. Should he permit his
friends to urge his nomination, most of
them believe he would make strong
race. They declare that the time is ripe
for pressing his nomination, and say that
he possesses qualifications and elements
OF strength of which none Of those
whose EAmes have Eaan mentioned for

DENTS OF LONDON PAPERS

Seem to Indicate That No New Arrange

Admitted That Such Thing is Not I'm

London, January s3.-Despatches re-
oeived here show ignorance declared in
official quarters in Paris, Berlin and
Vienna OF the offensive and defensive
alliance entered upon by Russia and
Turkey. In some quarters the report Is
characterized as ridiculous. 1t is widely
admitted that the recent known exchange
Of communications between Russia and
Turkey, justify the expectation of som q
arrangement between the two powres. A
despatch from Paris to the Standard says,
enquiries made in that city brought forth
q denial that it was!possi Bile fora treaty to
be concluded on the lines of the Ckiar-
Skelessi arrangements, as that would
imply inevitable war -
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says he finds such an alliance re-
garded not impro bable, which statement
is confirmed by the POSTS Berlin report.
L he Vienna correspondents of the Tele-
graph says that the rumor is in no wise
new, it having been in circulation some
time in Vienna in various forms. This
adds enquiries have re-
suited In the expression of consensus of
opinion that no such treaty has been con-
cluded. He further says that none is
needed, as cordial, unstipulate arrange
ments between Russia and Turkey are
based on mutual interests, and are frmer
and more complete now than any time
since the war of 1877.
The Daily Graphic says a report was re-
oeived by the London Daily papers some
weeks ago from Rome, but inquiries
failed to establish the truth of the de-
spatch and it was suppressed.
