AND THE j. 5. ON THE SEA OF POLITICS.
TO JOIN IN AN ALLIANCE AGAINST
TURKEY.
Proposal Comes from London-Italy
Also-Strong Language-The Sick
Man Worse-In His Domains.

LONDON, Sept. 16.--The st. James
Gazette this morning published lead
ing editorial article headed "A New
Triple Alliance" The Gazette points
out the menacing tone of the conti-
mental semi-official press on the sub
iect of Turkey, and says: "We are
openly threatened with joint hostile
European action if we interfere lin
Turkey against the will of the pow
ers. But there is one combination
which British craftsmanship might
effect.
1.-TWO states which have little to gain
from Russia could act with us and end
the tension. The United States and
italy are both understood to be friend
ly with Russia. Nevertheless, neither
is yet too deeply involved TO be unable
to assume an Independent attitude,
under British inspiration. Why should
not England, the United States and
Italy form a new Dreibund? Alone of
the United States can understand the
impulse which would drive English
men to war in order to SUPPRESS tyran-
ny or rescue the oppressed. Plenty of
Americans would regard with enthus-
iasm the spectacle of the Union Jack
and the Stars and Stripes floating side
by side in the Bosphorus to back their
joint demand"
The Gazette says Italy is ready to
join England, if invited, and con-
cludes: ut might be expected that
the Russian combination would go to
pieces at the mere aspect of this gen
uine league of peace, and the new Drei-
buhd might lead to a fresh grouping
of the powers and the delivery of Eu-
rope both from Turkish misrule and
the dangerous thraldom to Russia in1
to which it is sinking"

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. l6.-Ow-
ing to the Turkish governments com
munication to the embassies of the
powers regarding rumors of another
Armenian outbreak here. the embas-
sizes today deputed the foreign consuls
to authorize the police to enter for
eign houses when necessary and arrest
Armenians for throwing bombs or
shooting therefrom.
The offer of the Turkish Government
to furnish the embassies with guards
has been declined, the foreign officials
preferring to rely on the guards of
bluejackets from the war ships of the
powers.
Since the issuing of the Hylchakist
circular 5000 Armenians have been arr
rested and the exodus of Armenians
continues.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Chronicle
this morning has an editorial in
which it welcomes the suggestion of
the st. James Gazette that new drei-
bund. including Great Britain, thu
United States and Italy, would solve
the Armenian problem. The Chronicle
looks upon this as proposal having
nothing in common with cynical in
difference, and greatly hopes that il
will find an echo in the United States.

Legality OF Future Delivery Transae.
lions

Justice White Of the supreme court OF the
United states recently rendered decision in
Nolving the VALIDITY Of contracts for future de-
livery. The case Was thdt of Theodore Hanson
vs. James T. Boyd and Others. Hanson had
claimed that the contracts for future delivery
could not be enforced because they were gam
bling contracts. The understanding was that
final settlement should be made according to
the u-agcs and rules of the Chicago Board of
Trade. The court below had held that there
WAS nolh-ng illegal ar improper III such pro.
Cecding, providing the original contract was
lawful, which it had been found to be. This
view was confirmed by the opinion.
y prior decision, rendered in 'he United
States supreme court by the late Justice Jack
son, was in line with the finding of Justice
White This case was that of BiDb plain
tiff in error, against Richard ii Allen & Co, on
appeal from the middle district of Alabama.
The sui, was originally brought 10 recover for
commits sion of services rendered and money au'
vanced on sales of cotton for future delivery,
according TO rules of tn" New York Cotton En-
change. One of the pleas WAS that the work
performed by brokers was the making of
wagers on the price of cotton, and that the
money paid WAS in settlement of losses from
such wagers, and the statute of the state of New
York against wagers, bets, etc, and gambling
transactions, was set up. IL was held that the
evidence failed to show tina; they were wager.
Ing contracts; that there was no understanding
between the plaintiffs and defendants that the
cotton sold for future delivery was not In fact to
be actually delivered and 1t was testified that
there was no understanding, expressed or i'm
Piled, that the cotton was not TO be delivered at
the time stipulated In the contracts OF sale. The
undisputed testimony, II was held, established
ton was 10 be actually delivered at the time
agreed upon. II was shown that the rules ana
regulations of the New York Cotton Exchange
recognized no contracts except for sales ana
purchases for actual delivery. The decision
maintained the validity of the contract for fu
furP delivery.
