replying to the renewed representa-
tons Oh the subject made by the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Phillip Currie, and
the United States charge d'affairs, Mr..
John w. Riddle, assured the diplomats
that the missionaries i'll Asia Minor
would not be molested 80 long as they
conform with the laws of the country" :"
But this assurance does not carry with
it the weight which it would in coming
from any other government, it is
claimed, as there is no question but
that the Turkish officials

~ s.s on this ground that the GEltan
prepared and probably signed the iraue
providing for their expulsion from the
Turkish dominions. 1t is now thought
likely that the trade will be withheld,
at least until Russia has been further
consulted ON the subject. If Russia
says that the missionaries are not to he
expelled the trade will not be made
public. On the other hand if Russia
thinks herself strong enough to pro-
ceed with the work of Russianizing
Asiatic Turkey, the trade may soon see
the light of day.

The Tariff Bill Coming.

The only obstacle in the path OF
the adoption of new tariff bill is
the possibility that the new Senate
will not have majority favorable to
protection. Much will depend upon
the attitude of the silver Senators
who were elected as Repu blicans and
who have always acted with the Re.
publican party until near the close OF
the last session, when they made an
issue of silver aud joined the Demo.
Gratis and pcpulists. Now that there
IS absolutely no chance of free silver
under the Mckinley administration,
it is expected that these old time Re.
publicans will not resume tactics to
which they resorted when the Ding.
ley bill was before the Senate. We
have got to have revenue, and the
sheep and wool interests of Idaho,
Washington aud Montana ought to
be strong enough to demand a protec
tive tariff bill.
That a bill will be framed this win,
ter is now certain. Fortunately, the
Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee have all been
reelected to the next Congress. That
those gentlemen are in touch with
MAJOR Mckinley is apparent, for they
have decided to take up the tariff
question at once, and to perfect bill
and have it ready for the extra ses 4.
sion which the new President is ex.
pected to call. OF course, President
Mckinley will be governed by the
circumstances existing at the time of
his Inauguration, but the indications
are that an extra session will be
called in order that the discussion
may begin early and the bill placed
, upon the statute books as soon as
possible. Business demands an early
and permanent settlement, and il is
most certainly good politics to have
the bill thoroughly tried and fully
understood by the people before the
elections of 1898 Quick work will
be necessary 10 Go this, but quick
work can be done, and the members
of the Ways and Means Committee
are alive TO the Importance of action.
Whether the committee will give
hearings or not is question. As a
matter of fact, the bill can be drawn
quietly and without public meetings,
ana 1t seems to be pretty well agreed
that the new bill should be conserva.
tive aud yet give US ample revenue
that it should avoid extremes and still
be protective. The good features OF
the Mckinley bill are known to the
experts who will take a hand in
drafting the new measure. The inc.
qualities of the Wilson. German act
are apparent to all. The committee
has but to avoid radicalism on one
side, aud thus stear clear of prohibi.
tion, and the low duties which have
ruined wool'growing and closed our
mills on the other The tariff bill
ought to be in such an advanced state
as to be ready for submission to Con,
