The United States Not Allowed a Guard
ship in the Bosphorus.
Constantinople, Oct. Q, via Sofia, Bull
garia, Oct. TIT was semi. officially an
nounced here to-day that the Turkish gov.
ernment, after weighing the matter over
and consulting with certain advisors, has
como to the decision not to admit the
United States gunboat Bancroft through
the Dardanelles and, therefore, she will
not be able to act as the guardship of the
United States legation in those waters.
The porte it is added, has also decided
not to admit the guardships of Greece and
Holland, which countries also proposed
to have IL ship stationed in the Bospborus
as Il guardship and to furnish men to
guard their legations in case of emergen-
cies.
1t should be added, however, that the
United States Government is known to
have not presented through its minister,
Mr.. Terrill, IL formal demand for the pas
sage of the Bancroft, or any other United
States warship through the straits.
The exact ground upon which the Turk
ish government takes it's stand in this
case is not stated, but it is known in Off
cial circles here that Russia has objected
to the presence in the Bosphorus of Uni
ted States, Grecian or Dutch warships.
The Turkish government has also sent
a circular to the different embassies de.
manding the right to search foreign yes
sells passing Constantinople for Armenia.
1t is believed that the powers will not ac-
cede to this request.
TURKISH DIPLOMACY.
Washington. Oct. 1.-THE action OF the
Turkish government in giving it to be
understood that no guardships of the
powers that were not parties to the treaty
shall be admitted to passage through the
Dardanelles is looked upon here rs Il
shrewd piece of diplomacy. The fact is
that so far the United States has made no
formal request to have Il guardship at
Constantinople and this announcement in
advance of the preference Of Il request
renders it improbable that one Will be
preferred.

CONDUCTED BY
E. A. MATTHIAS.

On Friday last, convened at the usual hour
with Mrs Landers. The membership present
numbered fifteen including Miss Jessie Wis
sler who has just returned from her art
studies in Philadelphia. Miss Bessie Gala
CHER of Baltimore was also present.
After the usual routine, current events and
quotations all around, the club completed
the 5th act "The Merchant of Venice" A
brief outline was given by Miss Anne Web
stcr followed by two thoughtful papers, AN
tonic" and "Bassanio," by Miss Beth Firor
and Mrs. Garrison.
Were the class to give no further time to
the poet they might yet feel well gratifed
with the results of their brief study. 1t is
impossible to study SHAKESPEARE without COW
ering a wide range of information touching
upon questions of history, biography, and
literary criticism, and the earnestness with
which the class have pursued their inquiries
In every direction has given them an intelli.
gent conception and appreciation of the
poets thought surprising even to themselves
The disposition upon the part of any to
give to the club the remnant only of time
and strength left over from other activities,
has been, we are glad to say, at minimum.
Those of US who have given 1t our first inter
est and prompt attention feel gratified with
results far beyond our expectations at the
start.

in finding hotels willing to accommodate

will be occupied in determining these
contests.
There is no apparent possibility of
other than Mr.. McKinley's nomination.
1t is growing upon the minds of the
people latterly, that in just the proper.
ton that 1t becomes more and more GER
tain that the Chicago convention will
declare unequivocally for free silver and
a double standard, does it become more
and more probable that the st. Louis
convention will avoid ambiguity, declare
against silver and fol- the single or gold
standard.

The tobacco habit grows on man until

Vacillating Voters.

Just two months ago we called atten.
ton of our readers to the unmistakable
signs of drift towards SILVER Free Coin
age and at the same time uttered warn.
ing against that placid and foolish con-
fidence in the sober second though"
of "the people"
We do not say there is no such thing
as sober second thought, but we prefer
to speak Of it as after thought; that is,
act hastily first and do the thinking as
the result of their acts provides food
for thought. We reminded you of the
variability of judgment, if so weighty a
term may be taken to describe the mo-
tor force that has impelled the subvert-
ing change waves of political sentiment
during the past quarter century.
The fact that of the past five presiden.
tial elections, each has been reversal
of the decision recorded at that imme-
diately preceding it and in two instan.
ces by large majority; and the other
fact that the branch of Congress direct
ly answering to the change in popular
sentiment, the House Of Representatives
has, beginning with the "tidal wave"
of 1874, been the register Of fckleness
and weakness that must have amazed
those who have followed it thoughtfullv
and in some measure discouraged those
who have pinned their faith most firmly
to the American plan of universal suff
rage.
What policy has stood the test of sub
mission to the popular vote during the
past sixteen years?
Have we not seen the Protective Tar.
if policy, as endorsed by the election of
Garfield in 1880, repudiated in 1884 by
the election of Cleveland, only to he re-
endorsed in 1888 by his defeat, squarely
on that issue2 Not yet content with
this evidence of vacillation, they drown
thas policy under another tidal wave in
in 1892 and awaited only their first op-
portunity, two years thereafter, to con-
denim, almost fercely, the administration
just set up by their votes.
Is it asking too much to require that
belief be had in the probability that a
sense of the absurdity with which they
have dealt with that great economic
problem has at last overtaken them?
That they have so largely forsworn
themselves in this matter of Free Coin
age. would make it appear that the old
idols are to be shattered and new cru.
