MR. KNAPP NOT IN JAIL.
Tewfik PasIla Says That He is a Guest
of Turkish Official.

of n Turkish Official.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April Via Sofia,
Bulgaria, April S.-Ihe publicity given to
the case of the Rev. George P. Knapp by
the Associated Press has caused consider
able excitement in official circles here and
explanations which were not previously
forthcoming are nov to be had at first hand.
The Turkish minister for foreign affairs,
Tewfik Pasha. late this evening, volun-
tarily declared that while it vas true that
the Rev. Mr.. Knapp. the American mission
airy of Bitlis. is detained at Dlarbekir, the
missionary is we'll treated and is q guest
at the residence OF the Vail of Diarbekir.
1t is not denied, however, that it was in
tended to axpel Rev. Mr.. Knapp from
Asiatic Turkey. But it is possible that the
representations of the United States
charge d'affaires, Mr.. John Riddle, may
succeed in obtaining from the porte conccs-
sions which otherwise might have been re-
fused. and that the missionary may be
brought here for trial in the presence of a
representative OF the United States gov
eminent, which is understood to be the
course advocated from the first by Minister
Terrell, who is now IL Washington, AMI
who has doubtless furnished the State De-
partment with full informal ton upon the
subject.

ELECTRIC LIGHT HEARING.
The Potomac Heat and Power Com
Dnny's Wishes Explained.

There was hearing this afternoon at
O'Clock before a subcommittee of the SEN
ate District committee consisting of Sena-
tors Mcmillan, Proctor and Faulkner on
the subject of the bill granting the Po-
tomac Light and Power Company the right
to lay mains and make connections in this
city. Messrs. Crosby and Lieb appeared
for the Potomac company, Messrs. A. A.
Thomas and James K. Redington for the
United States Electric Lighting Company
and Mr.. Madison NJ. Ballinger in behalf of
the citizens of Columbia Heights and Mt.
Pleasant.
Before the hearing began Mr.. Mcmillan
made brief explanation of the circum-
stances that have led up to the introduce
ton of this bill for the benefit of Senator
Faulkner, who was not familiar with the
matter. Mr.. Mcmillan told of the purchase
of the lexington electric light plant by the
Potomac company. and the effort Of the
latter company to enter into competition
with the United States Company for sup
plying electric light and electric currents
throughout the city Of Washington.
Mr.. Crosby's Argument.
Mr.. Crosby first took the floor and briefly
sketched the legal history of electric light
ing in the District. He outlined the pro-
ceedings in court eliminating in the issue
OF an injunction against his company, and
he called attention to the fact that Jus
tice Bingham in rendering the decision Of
the court declared that the legislation on
this subject was fragmental, consisting Of
riders on appropriation bills in the main.
He told of the development OF the Potomac
Company and its purchase of the lexington
lighting plant and the Potomac electric
plant, and he declared that the company
now has the best of facilities for carving
on the business of manufacturing electrical
power at greatly reduced cost He said
that the company Is now supplying power
to the TenleytowH, Great Falls. Washing
ton and Arlington Glen Echo and Bethesda
railroad companies, and had just obtained
a contract with the lexington Railway Com
pany to supply it with power to run its cars
when the injunction prevented the begin-
ring of operations.
by the LIST of June to turn out more current
than can possibly be used.
Can't Get Permits.
As Instances Of the manner in which ths
hands of the authorities are tied so az to
prevent them from issuing permits he cited
two cases. One of these was the effort of
the company to supply the house of Mr..
Gardiner Hubbard. in the country. with
electric power. for which purpose Mr.. Hub
hard hadI had the building wired; but the
permit to carry the supply wire from the
main line across the road could not be OBJ
tanned. The Commissioners had given the
company q contract to supply electric power
to light the Aqueduct bridge with electric
lights in place Of gas. which was unsatis-
factory because Of the wind. In this case.
teo, the necessary permit for making the
connections could not be issued.
The hearing was in progress when The
Stars report closed.

THE WHITE HOUSE MEASLES.
Little Esther Coming Along Nicely
Tom Thuraer Now Has II.


DR.. O'Reilly, the White House physician,
who is attending the Cleveland children at
Woodlcy. reports this morning that little
Esther is coming along nicely, and that SO
far the measles has not spread to the other
children. The apartments i'm the White
House just vacated by the children are be-
ing thoroughly overhauled and renovated
today, in order to remove all possible dam
ger Of further infection.
In view of the near approach of summer
it is not likely that Mrs. Cleveland and the
children will resume their residence at the
White House until their return from Bug
yards Bay in the fall of the year. The
President will take up his abode with them
at Woodley as soon he can do so with
out possible danger OF infection, probably
in a week or ten days. unless the other
children take the disease, in which event
he will have to prolong his hac helor exist
ence in the Executive Mansion in company
with Private Secretary Thurber, whose
family is similarly quarantined against
him. The Thurber child who was first
stricken with the measles has recovered
but her brother Tom yesterday fell vio-
tim to the infection.

Murderer He Meets His Fate.
Among the hundreds of applications to
witness the execution of Holmes, the con-
Iicted murderer Of Pitzel, to take place in
Philadelphia, May I, is one from DR.. Ar

He desires to study scientifically the emo

DR.. Mcdonald proposed to study Holmes
emotions just before his execution by
means OF an instrument called the kymo-
sraphion. This is an instrument for record

this machine the scientist wishes to aScer-

The authorities have, however, refused to
grant the Doctors request. Holmes himself

Wreck of Freight Train and the
Drowning OF Brakeman.
TOLEDO, Ohio, April S.-Early this morn
ing span of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railway bridge over the Maumee river, at
the northern end of the city, went down
under the weight of a freight train, drown
ing one man. The bridge is used by the
Belt line, and a Michigan Central freight

The five cars next the engine went down,
leaving the engine on the pier ahead and
the remainder Of the train on the next
span backward. One of the five was an
elghty-five-ton excavator. and it's weight is
the probable cause of the disaster. James

vator, but escaped with severe bruises.
The span will be rebuilt as quickly as pos
