quality has been furnished for the battle
ships now building at Newport Newo will
resume its inquiry at that place next Men

Gates that the amount of defective plate sup
piled is much larger than was at first sup
posed and that the consequences may b.
very serious in the way Of delaying the
work of constructing the battle ships, in
which the department is much interested.
As it is the inquiry has caused the slsp-n
sion of work on the hulls of the battle aHips
and all workmen have been laid on making
a disagreeable outlook fer them for the

great in the case of the constructing com

report of the government steel inspection
board and is now facing the possibility OF
being obliged to remove a coed deal Of III
plating, which has already been placed and

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-(Special Tele-
gramJ J-Considcrablc fault has been found
with the slowness Of the Department. of Jus
tico in passing upon deeds for the property
in South Omaha selected for the site of the
new postoGice. Inquiry, however, of the
attorney general shows that instead of the
department being to blame the fault lies
with the owners of the property in uucs-
ton. Three deeds have been received by
the Law department of the government
covering the site chosen. but the aggregate
amount OF the transfer foots up 5000, in
stead of $4,000 as appropriated by congress
for the purchase of the property. One of
these deeds for 81 600 has been accepted by
the Department Of Justice. Two other deeds
however, have been rejected and the
grantors notified that new deeds will have
to be executed one FOR IS 500 and the other
for s. 500, instead of $1,000 and 5000 re-
speCtvey. l.. d. Fowler, agent for the
property holders, has been greatly disturbed
over this unintentional mistake and has
labored with the law officials to permit its
correction, which the department finally
agreed to do yesterday by telegraphing
District Attorney Sawyer TO examine the
new deeds and forward them at once. AS
soon as they are received checks will be
sent to the district attorney, who will, after
satisfying hims elf that the records are clear,
pay to the owners of the property the

take definite shape next week. That Secre-

the new plan Immediately. The plan does
not differ materially from that agreed upon
by Hoke Smith, but the details are worked
out somewhat differently.

state Department Says the SuItnn's
Anger IL Not Yet Manifest.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-An emphatic and
positive denial is made at the State depart
ment of the published report that Mustapha
Bey, the Turkish minister by direction Of
the sultan has entered protect against the
language of the presidents message to con-
gress in its treatment OF the Turkish ques-
ton. The report is characterized as pure
fiction" and 1t is pointed out that Mustapha
Bey did not make a call on Secretary Oney
on the day on which he Is alleged to have
sgnined to the secretary of state the deep
diSpleasure of the sultan. 1t is probably
true that the government of Turkey was
far from pleased at what Mr.. Cleveland had
to say concerning Turkey, but the rules or
International law on this point are now so
well settled that 1t is regarded as altogether
improbable that official attention would be
paid to 1t. With communications of the eX-
ecutive to congress on domestic matters
other nations have no concern. International
law is clear on this point, which arose in a
peculiar case between Austria and the United
States, whe! Elm it was clearly made mani
fest that Austria could not notice references
to Hungary made in a presidential message.
The Turkish minister when seen authorized
the Associated press to state that he has
received no Instructions from his govern
ment touching the presidents message; that
he had not made any official communication
10 the State department or to any branch
of the United States government concerning
this subject The minister desired to convey
the broadest and fullest dissent and denial
of the published news to that effect
Up to today the only recent call made
by the Turkish minister on Secretary Olney
was two weeks ago long before the presi-
dents message. Since then he has not seen
the secretary of state except at a social
gathering at the British embassy More
over, no protest or any other action has
been received from Constantinople. In the
Hunzelman case Secretary OF State Web
ster laid down the doctrine since observed
that presidents message was a domestic
communication to the American congress
to which foreign representatives could take
no exception. From the long service of
Mustapha Bey as a diplomat there is reason
to believe he is fully aware of all the prece-
dents and usages in this connection.
The minister called at the State depart
ment today, IL being the first time in two
weeks. 1t was for the transaction of the
usual business of the legation with the de-
partmcnt and was in no way related to the
presidents message.

PopuLIsTs ASK FOR 4 MANDAMus.
South Dakota Fusion Forces Appeal
10 the Smnr.mc COmrt.


PIERRE, S. d.. Dec. 12.-(Speclsl Tele-
gram)-Thc attorneys for the pcpulists last
evening appeared before the supreme court
in behalf of j. Il. Kelly, one of the populist
candidates for congress, and secured an order
to show cause why a mandamuD should not
issue ordering the canvassing board TO Issue
certificates t. the populigt congressman on
the returns from all counties which would
give them majorltles. The time of hearing
the order is set for December II. In the
mandamuo case Cn the part Cf the repub-
lic1n electors the first move was in the way
Of a demurrer to the AFFIDAVIT. filed to Sc
cure the order. which was asked for on the
ground that the issuance Cf certificates Is
a ministerial act imposed by the legislature
upon the governor and a mandamu9 would
not lie as against coordinate branch Ci
the state government. The demurrer was
taken under adysement and viii be con
sidered with the main case. Counsel for the
plaintiff u.7'ed the only points Of the case
to bo the plwer Of the board to decide upon
tho legality Of the returne If 1t has the
power, did It. properly exercise 1t after it
had canyassed the returns before II ana an
nounced the result? Did It have the right to
refuse certificates and the right to adjourn
to secure completed returns? On these
points the arguments we're m2de. Argu-
ments were concluded this evening and the
court took each case under adyisement. The
decision will probably be handed down early

the matters under discussion relating largely
to the election of senator's in states where
the silver men have control but In which no
one party had majority. 1t is believed that
Senator Telleg's influence in these states VIII
have great weight and different candidatCB
are seeking the senator's assistance.
Senator Teller would not be interviewed
as to his future course or his position upon
measures which may or may not come be
fore the congress. He would not ne said,
outline a policy for himself or others who
believed with him preferring to meet mat
ters as they developed. Referring to tariff
legislation in the next senate Senator Teller
modcStly said he was not elected to the nev;
senate as yet. When asked regarding the
late republican c.Jucus he said he would not
have attended had he been in the city.
Asked what he thought of the international
bimetGlliC proposition put forward by his
colleague, Senator Wolcott, Mr.. Teller said
that he hoped it would be successful, but
added that he knew it would not, aB the ma

tho morphine and alcohol habits were ad-
minstered to the inmates. By the terms OF

casion Governor Smith told him when 1t

in pushing the gold cure that he did not

$1,000" This was when negotiations with

ALoNAO wALLING MUST HANG.
Court of Appeals RcRflirms the De-
cisinm of LhC LnINer CnMrt.

Court of Appeals RcnnirmS the De-
cisiGn of the Lower Court.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Dec. f2.-The court of
appeals today reafIlrmed the decision of the
! lower court at Newport, Ky, in sentencing
Alonzo Walling to be hanged as the ac-
complice Of Scott Jackson in the murder OF
Pearl Bryan last January. 1t is quite likely
that the date fixed for the execution OF both
men will be about the anniversary of the
murder, or early IN February.
The points of law in the decision today
are different from those in the other appeal
and this accounts for the fact that they were
rendered separately.
In all points the court holds that the ex-
ceptions of Walling's lawyers are not backed
by sufficient legal usage and Judge Helms
rulings are affirmed.
The final records In the cases may go to the
governors Office together and both death
warrants will likely be sent to Newport
by the same messenger.
The affirming Of the lower court will in all
probability lead to double hanging. Such
has beon thceXceptlon 10 Sheriff Plummer
and other court officials. When the death
warrants shall finally reach Newport orders
will be given by the sheriff or county COM
missioners for a double scaffold in the jail
yard. The trap for both men will be sprung
at the same instant.
Frank c. Robbins of Cincinnati who has
been here assisting II. q. Burken of the
Times Star. was arrested today for contempt
of court 1t is claimed that Robbins
candestinely secured means for eayesdrop-
ping into the court consultation room and
gave out the Waling decision TO the Times
Star over an hour before 1t was announced
by the court.
When Robbins was arraigned it was ascer-
tained that he had two ilags-one white and
one black, the latter indicating a decision
affirming the death sentence in the Walling
case. Representatives of other papers saw
him wave the black flag and so informed
the court. Robbins belongs to one of the
most prominent families of Cincinnati. He
was fined and sentenced to thirty days in
Jail.
COVINGTON, KY. Dec. 12.-When the
news of his death sentence was told Walling
he playing cards with Scott Jackson
and Robert Laughlin. the latter is to be
hanged January 8 for killing his wife and
niece. Waling was Indifferent and not sur
prised. He insisted he had nothing to say
and claimed the points just won by him in
the game. Then he urged them to proceed
with the game.
