Given Great Prominence.

LONDON, April 9-The newspapers
here all give prominence to reports of
the meeting yesterday of the Armenian
relief committee, presided over by the
Duke of Argyle, to protest against the
proposed expulsion from Asiatic
Turkey of the Protestant and Roman
Catholic missionaries, at which Mr.. c..
E. Schwann, NJ. p, urged a resolution
earnestly requesting the government
to take immediate steps to obtain the
release of the Rev. George P. Knapp,
the American missionary, formerly of
Bitlis, who is being expelled from
Turkey on alleged grounds that he has
melted Armenians to revolt against
Turkish rule.
Cannon Gore and Sir J. Kennaway,
M. P, of the committee appointed for
that purpose, will call the attention of
the Conservative leader in the house of
Commons, Mr. A j. Balfour, to the
matter and ask that he urge an in
crease of the number of British con-
suls in Asiatic Turkey, as their pres
ence there will have salutary effect
in preventing outrages upon Christ
ians and in aiding in the work of re-
lieving the disturbed Armenians.
The Duke of Westminster, who has
received direct information that the
sultan proposes to expel the Protestant
and Roman Catholic missionaries from
Asiatic Turkey is communicating on
the subject with the Marquis of Sails
bury.

Is All Right.

WASHINGTON, April 9-It can be
stated on authority that there is no
reason for the apprehension that Mis-
sionary Knapp will not meet with fair
treatment and eventually be permitted
to return to his post at Bitlis, after ne
has undergone the forms Of clearing
himself from the charges of conspiracy
against the government. Knapp is be-
ing brought to the coast as a result of
an agre ement between the Turkish
government and Terrell. The minister
has secured what might be regarded
as a valuable concession from the au-
thorities, in having the trial of the
missionary taken cut of the hands of
the Turkish authorities and left to his
own court and to stand trial. The ac-
cused must make his appearance be-
fore the American authorities at Con-
stantinople.
Early in the course of the Armenian
troubles, Mr.. Terrell, our minister to
Turkey. was instructed by the state
department to see to it that any Amer
lean citizen, native or naturalized, who
was arrested by the Turkish govern
ment, be surrendered to the United
States minister for trial.
Our government, against the opposi-
ton of the porte, in taking this STEP
held that under the treaty of 1880 it
Ildu the rlSnt TO exercise eXtra-terri-
torial jurisdiction in Turkey where
American citizens are concerned. Mr.
Terrell was explicitly instructed by
Secretary Olney to claim all rights un-
der the fourth article of the treaty, and
to offer to any American citizen charg-
ed with instruction, rebellion, sedi-
ton or like offenses, or in the event of
such offer being refused, to demand
the release of the accused. So, when
Mr.. Knapp was about to be arrested by
the local Turkish authorities at Bitlis
and notified Mr.. Terrell, the latter
promptly addressed himself to the porte
and after much difficulty secured the
remission of the trial of the mission
airy to himself. This necessitated the
coming of Knapp to Constantinople,
but as there was good assurance that
charges of sedition against the mis-
sionary were without substantial foun-
dation, there was no reason to appre-
bend that he would not be promptly
acquitted on trial before the United
States minister or his representative,
and be permitted to return to his post.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 9.-It was
730 when the convention reassembled.
An hour was spent listening to
speeches, and finally, at $3.50, the COM
mittee on credentials presented it's re-
port There was a majority report and
two minority reports on the contest in
the Multunomah county delegation.
The majority report favored seating the
contesting delegates from Multunomah
county known as the Simon delegates,
the first minority report favored seat
ing the anti-Simon men and the second
minority favored dividing the delega-
ton, giving each faction one half re-
presentation. Argument was then COM
menced on the reports
Immediately after the argument was
closed a vote was taken and the second
minority report, giving each faction a
one-half representation, was adopted
by a vote of 126 to g. The chairman
appointed a committee on platform,
selecting one member from each county
delegate The convention then, at II
O'Clock, adjourned until IL a. m. to-
morrow.

STATEHOOD BILLS.
New Mexico May Get There, But
Arizona Will Be Delayed Little.


WASHINGTON, April 9-The house
committee on territories voted to re-
port favorably the New Mexico state
hood bill to the house. and also decided
to defer action on the Arizona bill.
So evenly divided was the committee
that the fate of the bill rested on one
vote. This vote decided to place the
question of New Mexico's admission
before the house for settlement, and
was sidetracked for the time-the de-
cision of Arizona S fate.
There were six votes to report the
New Mexico bill and four against ia
vorable report, while the vote on the
question of tabling the Arizona bill
was a tie, with five members on each
side of the question.
Those who voted to report the New
Mexico bill were.
publicans-Scranton of Pennsyl-
vania, Perkins of Iowa, Lefevre OF
New York, Avery of Michigan, Hadley
of Illinois. Democrats-Cooper OF
Texas.
Opposed: Republicans-Knox of
Massachusetts,. Taft of Ohio, Low of
New York Democrats-Owens of
Kentucky.
Three of the six who voted for the
bill reserve the right to oppose it in
the house. They do not favor the
admission of New Mexico at this time,
but believe that the house should be
given an opportunity to vote on the
question.
The Arizona bill was the first one
brought up, and it soon became APP
parent that the members of the COM
mittee then present did not support 1t.
Several amendments to the New Mex
lean bill were proposed, but all failed
by the vote of 4 TO 6. One offered by
Mr.. Taft was to report the bill to the
house without recommendation, and
one by Mr.. Owens was to postpone
the meeting of the state legislature
until 1896

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Important Meeting of the Commit
tee Held Yesterday.

tee heEu yesterday.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The first
meeting of the house foreign affairs
committee since it reported the Cuban
resolutions to the house was held to-
day. Only matters Of secondary i'm
portance came before the committee,
the Venezuelan, Cuban and Armenian
resolutions, which made the committee
the most important one of the house
early in the session, having been dis
posed of. Considerable interest was
inspired by the temperance of the old
northwestern boundary dispute, which
was for a time settled by the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty of 1912, but not
so definitely settled, it seems, as to
leave no loop holes for controversy.
which lies west of Lake Superior,
whose status has never been finally
settled, was discussed. The matter was
referred TO a subcommittee consisting
of HeatwOle Of Minnesota, Adams of
Pennsylvania and Newlands of Ne
vada who will draw resolutions to au-
thorize the creation of a joint commits
sion by the governments of the United
States and Great Britain to consider
the question of jurisdiction and arrange
convention. Hunters island consists
of about eight square miles, containing
valuable minerals, and is the center of
profitable fisheries, but is sparsely set
tied.
Arrowsmith's London map of 1912
places the island on the south side of
the boundary line, as does the atlas
of the Dominion of Canada, published
in 1875, and based on the work of spe-
cial commissioners. OF other maps
published in the United States and
Great Britain some place the boun-
dairy line south and some north of the
island. If the final decision be in ia
vor of the United States the island will
be in Minnesota.
Mrs. Maybrick's case was brought up
by resolution introduced by Mr.
Underwood of Alabama. The commit
tee decided to report the resolution,
which was as follows:
"That the secretary of state be di-
rected to communicate to the house, If
not Incompatible with the public inter-
ests. such correspondence and other in
formation as the state department has
in it's possession in regard to the inn
prisonn1ent of Mrs. Florence E. May
brick. formerly of Mobile, Ala, and
the steps that have been taken by our
government to secure her liberation or
an inquiry by the government OF Great
Britain into the merits of the case in
which she was condemned"
1t was also decided to give the sup
port of the committee to the PROPOSE
tion to establish a United States con-
sulate at Alexandretta, Turkey, for the
protection of American missionaries.

Chairman Hainer, of the sub-con1rnit-
tee, will report the bill to the full COM
mittee and if it is approved it may go
to the house the same day. There is
possibility that the bill will be passed
by the house Saturday, if not, it will
be called up next week, possibly on
Monday.
The last bill for Notifications car
ried about S2,000,O00 This bill will
provide for extensive works and will
authorize expenditures of from seven
to eight millions. Under its provisions
the government will be able to begin
the extensive works contemplated by
Senator Squires' bill, and to carry
them on for the first year. In the
main the recommendations of the war
department will be carried out and
the manufacture of carriages and all
parts of gun. will be continued, SO
that guns can be put into use as soon
as they have been made. The cash
appropriations for the bill will be
sufficient for carrying on the work to
the first of March next.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Buffers
speech the Indian appropriation bill
was taken up.
When the proviso in relation to In
dian schools was reached Mr.. Carter
(Rep) of Montana said the proposed
change from contract to government
schools was being accomplished so
precipitately that thousands of Indian
children would be left without schools.
He moved tc Strike out the provision
that no money be used for sectarian
schools. This was withdrawn, to be
taken up later, when the entire sectar-
ian sc-.ool question will be discussed.
The bill was laid aside until to-
morrow.
The two Nebraska senators, Messrs.
Allen and Thurston, sought to pass the
bill for a Mississippi exposition
at Omaha, Neb., but an objection
from Mr.. Sherman carried it over I'M
til tomorrow, when it is to be special
order.
The senate tken took up pension
cases on the calendar and passed a
large number of them.

THE WHEEL.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 9.-One
of the novelties brought out 10y the
election in this city was the bicycle
vote" 1t is figured that the wheel
men have a majority of the council
and that there is no danger of passing
an ordinance that will at all be a
hrdship on riders. At present there is
no bicycle ordinance in force in this
city but 1T is considered on all sides
that one will have to be passed before
the riding season opens. In some Of
the wards the wheelmen took an ac-
tive part in the campaign and worked
against aldermen who had shown a
disposition not to be fair with the
men who ride wheels. In all these
cases, it is said, they were successful
and helped to retire the objectionable
members

was cast at the Democratic primaries
here in st. Louis today for the election
of delegates to the state convention at
Sedalia, which, III turn, will elect dele
gates to the national convention to be
held in Chicago. The contest between
free silver" and Sound money" Dem
ocrats in this city and state has been
particularly severe, each faction fight
ing hard to gain the supremacy that
would finally give it a majority of the
delegates elected to the national con-
vention from Missouri. AS a result of
today's primaries, the so-called sound
money men elected solid delegations
in three wards. In three other wards
delegates of both persuasions We're
elected, while the remainder of the
twenty-eight wards went solid for free
silver.
