silver to free and unlimited coinage at

Secretary of the Treasury any power he
may now have to issue bonds or other in
terest bearing obligations of the United
States Until the necessity therefor shall
be declared by Congress-, and Congress
should not adjourn until these things
have been accomplished.
The resolution was tabled for g the
present. The Legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bills were taken up
and all amendments heretofore agreed to
in committee Of the whole, except such
as were specially reserved were agreed to
in bulk. About an hour was consumed
in discussing the amendment to give

moved to strike out all sections Of the
bill in reference TO the compensation of
United States district attorneys. clerks
and marshals, putting those officials on a
salary basis instead of on a basis of fees
He argued against the proposed change.
He said that such complete reorganiza-
tion of the judiciary department ought
not to be made on an appropriation bill,
but ought to be carefully considered by
the Judiciary committee. He considered
the rates of compensation fixed in the
bill too high. He argued that the present
system of paying those officials by fees,
was far better than paying salaries to
them.
Mr.. Sherman's motion was supported
by Senators Hoar, Chandler and Hill, on
the ground, chiefly that legislation of a
general character should not be placed In
the appropriation bills.
Without disposing Of Mr.. Sherman's
motion. the bill was laid aside. Mr..
Cullom, who is in charge of it, giving
notice that he would try to have a final

Boston, March pa Washington de-
spatch to the Globe says: The Turkish
m1niser, Mavroyeni Bey. called upon the
Secretary of State this morning and
presented his letters of recall. With this
action diplomatic relations between the
United States and Turkey are severed
and the Turkish legation in this city will
be closed.
Our minister to Turkey, Alexander W.
Terrell, Is now on the ocean, coming
home. it being announced sometime ago
that he would take a vacation. 1t is now
understood, why Mr.. Terrell's departure
was accelerated.
The severance of diplomatic relations
between Turkey and the United States
Is due to the passage of the Armenian
resolutions by Congress some time ago.
AAoAouSu ~ CcbuuOb U6 l6dru6u Q6f6 OIL
cially that the President has taken any
action on these resolutions, it is known
that the Sultan has considered them as
highly offensive, and, not understanding
the course pursued by Congress in adopt
ing concurrent resolutions and noticing
that the President had not vetoed them,
has considered the incident sufficient to
break off diplomatic relations
The fact that the Turkish government
has not only recalled the minister, but
also the secretary of legation. shows that
the Sultan intends to completely sever
intercourse between the two countries.
The Turkish minister was one of the first
to arrive at the State Department. this
morning, being there by 10 o'clock, and
after waiting few minutes, was
ushered into the diplomatic reception
room, where Secretary Olney awaited
him.
The interview did not last more than
10 minutes, and when it was over the
minister left the department. and returned
at once to the legation. He positively
refused to talk on the subject.
