TURKISH TROUBLES.
A Scheme Proposed for Imprisonment of
the Government,

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Mr. Arthur Bal
four. the government leader in the house
or commons. speaking at Rochdale to-
night, dwelt upon the difficulty of effect
ing concert of the powers over Arme-
mia. England, he said, had no ulterior
object or desire for ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and
it was a misfortune for the whole world
that she had been enormously credited
abroad with ambitious aims. 1t was
impossible that England should under
take. in opposition to the wishes of Eu-
rope. crusade, which, while it would
not benefit Armenians, would perhaps
impose upon England overwhelming re-
sponsibilities.
The Daily News states that it learns
the powers are considering a scheme for
financial control and the placing Of the
administration of Turkey in the hands
of responsible European minister, Ed
gar Vincent Cat present director of the
Ottoman bank) becoming the minister
of finance, Russian officer the minis
ter of war, and a Frenchman minister
of the interior; the grand vizier remain
ing president of the council of state, SUBJ
ject to the powers approval.

FAIRS MILLIONS.
The Children Aim to Secure a Prompt
Distribution.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-No time
is to be lost in the distribution of the
millions of the late James G.. Fair, as far
as the children are concerned. Through
their attorneys they are maneuvering
with rapidity, now that the pencil will,
has been buried. that is in strange con-
trast to the dilatory tactics which mark
ed the progress of the litigation for the
last eighteen months. Taking encourage
ment from their first victory, Mrs. Her.
man Oelrichs, Miss Virginia Fair and
their brother have resolved to engage
any enemy that may show signs of fight.
To begin with, three appraisers of the
estate were appointed by Judge Slack
today and as this is the preliminary step
in the distribution of the dead mans
estate matters begin to assume a busi-
ness-like aspect. The men who will de-
ternline the values of the various brop-
critics of the late millionaire are Richard
V. Dey, George l.. Bresse and Ernest A.
Leigh
Opinions vary as to the value of the
estate. AT the time of Fairs death wild
statements placed his wealth at S40,-
100000. Gradually these figures were re-
uced and conservative estimate placed
them at $17,C00, 900. According to one of
the trustees under the trust will, the es-
tate has increased one-fifth in value in
the past year.

THE SUGAR CROP
The Output Large Despite the Deficit
in Cuba

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-This years
raw sugar supply of the world surpasses
that of 1895, Notwithstanding the enor-
nous Cuban deficit, according to official
statistics received at the department
of state from Consul General Karel of
st. Petersburg. Mr.. Karel reports the
Russian wheat ard rye shortage will be
more than made up by the increased
beet sugar production and adds that
since the case is common to other Euro
ministers officially determined for each
period of production the quantity of su-
gar to be turned out by the sugar fac
tories for the home market which, this
year. was fixed at over 100000 tons, an
excess over last year of $4,000 tons, and
the ministry of finance has concluded
to lower the prices on account of the
cheapening of manufacture, the i'm
provement of beet culture and this years
excellent harvest. the new price being
s2.39 por pood of 36112 pounds, against
$2.44 last year. The official Russian es-
innate of the worlds raw sugar product
for this year is as follows:
Production Of beet sugar, 1850, 900 tons;
production of cane sugar, 1855, 900 tons
stock on hand, 1,150,000 tons; total, s.
756,000 tons. Last year the correspond
ing total was S,290,609 tons. The esti-
mated consumption for the ensuing year
is placed at 1885, 900 tons.

BRITAIN'S CLAIM.
Whitfield Down to a Small Slice Of vens
zuela

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-Ex- Minis
ter Scruggs, who is acting as counsel
for the Venezuelan government, called
at the White House today, but owing e
the cabinet meeting did not see the
president.
Mr.. Scruggs says the fleet of thd
clause making fifty years essential to
constitute settled districts" in the Ven
ezuela boundary dispute will be to give
to Venezuela the entire Parma gold
country, which is the most valuable
tract in Venezuela, and also the entire
Orinoco river country, Including the
water way itself, the banks, the mouth
and the islands of the mouth. The Brit
ish have a coaling station and rendez-
vous on one of these islands, but Mr..
Scruggs says the British occupancy be-
gan in 1856, and cannot possibly como
within the fifty year term of settlement
In his opinion the evidence will narrow
the British fifty year occupancy to ths
small strip of land, triangular in form,
between the Cuyuni and Pomeron riv-
ers. This is far to the east and south Of
the valuable Orinoco and Barima
country, which constitutes the great is
sue at stake.

further evidence of his kindly feeling
toward the United States by erecting
a granite monument upon the spot where
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Youmans of New
York city met their death on July 4th,

TARIFF LEGISLATION
Senator Vest Doubts the Passage of a
Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Vest of Missouri, who arrived here to-
day, expressed the opinion that it would
be impossible for the Republicans to
pass the Dingley bill, or any other tariff
bill. through the senate at the coming
session.
Il have no doubt" he said, "that the
Republican senators who voted with the
Democrats at the last session against
the consideration of the Dingley act,
with the possible exception of Carter,
stand with us again. and if they do, there
is no possibility of passing the BILL"
Suppose the gold Democrats desert
you?"
II do not consider that possible. They
are no more protectionists than the Sill
yer Democrats"
The senator feels no apprehension over
his own reelection. but says Blackburn
and perhaps other free silver Democrats
are beaten for reelection. He fears
silver men will have very narrow mar
gin in the senate during the fifty-fifth
congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE WORT,
of placing our harbors in a state Of de.
tense is summed up in the report of the
board Of ordnance and Notifications.
signed by Gen. Miles, Colonels Frank
and Haines and Major Phipps, and made
public today. 1t says:
Under the increased appropriations OF
the present fiscal year the work of plac-
ing our harbors in a proper state Of de-
fense is making good progress, and if
only the same are appropriated annually
for few years our principal ports Will
present formidable front to an stack
ing fleet. 1t is hoped, however, that
even more liberal appropriations will be
made in order that we may soon be
ready for any emergency that may arise
at any time. In view of the present
serious aspect of European politics, it
is only common prudence for this nation
to be on its guard, for should conflict
arise, we are liable to be embroiled with
some power whose navy, in the present
defenseless condition of our coasts
might dstroy or exact enormous rans
SONS from our chief cities.
"A war. if it comes at all, will come
with no warning and no time for prep
aration. China, with undefended ports
and an inadequate navy, was defeated
in few months. In the last war be-
tween the great military powers of Ger
many and France the surrender at Sedan
occurred only forty days after the decla-
ration of war. The wars of nations ocs
cur in cycles of varying length, but sci.
dom does a generation pass without =
conflict. Already more than thirty
years have elapsed since our last great
war, and another may soon, if the pas,
be a guide to the future. terminate one
of the longest intervals of peace we have
ever enjoyed. Our engineering depart.
ment is ready with the most modern
plans for Notifications, our ordnance
department is prepared with designs
for guns and carriages. If congress will
but increase the appropriations to the
capacity of those departments for useful
and economical works, it will not be lone
before our coasts are secure against the
attack of foreign powers. An effectivs
preparation for war is the best safe-
guard against war;"
The foregoing summary closes an ex-
haustive report, giving every detail Of
the progress of fortification, the exam-
ination of innumerable devices of attack
and defense, the testing of guns, gun car

LINCOLN, Neb. Nov 17.-It has been
definitely arranged that William ].
Bryan Is to take the lecture platform
and his first address will be delivered in
Atlanta. Ga, early in December. His
route as far as it has at present been ar
ranged, will be, after leaving Atlanta,
Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston.
Augusta. Birmingham and New Orleans
After leaving the latter city Mr.. Bryan
will go through Texas, then on to Cali
fornia and Oregon and will not reach
the cities of the east before the latter
part of February 1897.
The man behind the enterprise is V.
E. McBee of Norfolk, Va, the superin-
tendent of the Seaboard air line. On
election night Mr.. McBee, who had been
a hard worker for the Bryan ticket,
wired to this city offering Mr.. Bryan a
very large amount for a series of lee
lures in case the election should turn
against him. No attention was paid to
the matter at that time by Mr. Bryan,
put after the defeat of the Democratic
ticket had been formally Acknowledged
by the Democratic leaders, Mr.. McBee
once more renewed his offers, negotia-
t1ons were begun and the result has been
that Mr.. Bryan has signed contracts for
a series of lectures under the manage
ment of Alexander Comstock, who is
the representative as associate of Mr..
McBee In the enterprise. The terms of
the agreement from financial stand
point have not been made known, but
It is reliably understood that the remun-
Grafton which Mr.. Bryan is to receive
will exceed the salary he would have re-
ceived as president of the United States
In the event of his election to that office,
Arrangements are already under way
to have the delivery of Mr. Bryan's first
lecture in Atlanta made the occasion of
a great demonstration which will be in
the nature of monster reception. The
lectures to be delivered by Mr.. Bryan
Will be non-partisan in their character
and will for the most part be on govern
mental and social topics as it is ex-
pressly stipulated in the contract that
the tour shall have no political aspect
or coloring.
