STREET EXTENSION GASES
The Jury to Go on With the Other Subdi-
visions.
Meantime Owners VIII Seek Relief
From Court to Court and Try TO
Question the Validity OF the Act.

1t is probable that Thursday next Judge
Cox, in the District court, will listen to
arguments respecting the constitutionality
OF the street extension act. AS reported in
yesterdays Star, about all of the land
owners in case 419, in which the jury re-
ported their findings to Judge Cox Satur-
day, are dissatisfied with the verdict, and
1t Is understood that not only will they
ask that 1t be reversed or set aside but
they will also question the validity. of the
act under which the condemnation proceed
mgs were instituted.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, representing sew
eral Of the land owners, today intimated
to Judge Cox that he would ask the court
to consider the matter Thursday next.
There Is little doubt of the President ap-
proving the act passed by the House of
representatives yesterday, providing for an
appeal from the District court to the Court
or Appeals. This right of appeal Is Sc
cured to both the District and to the land
owners, SO whichever way Judge eCoS de-
cldes the question raising the Validity of
the street extension act, the matter will
be carried to the appellate tribunal
OF course, there is little dotbs hat from
mat court 1T will be carried oslhe United
states Supreme Court. Hence, Sthe ques-
uon Will probably remain undetermined
hnally for months Meantime, it Is the in
tention of the District, it Is said, to 20 on
with the remaining forty-five subdivisions
embraced within section one Of the ap-
proved plan of street extension with all
possible dispatch, so that in the event of
the law being finally sustained Congress
Will be then fully informed as to the
amount required to be appropriated in paw
ment fer the land condemned.

Significant Remark by His Friend
Ex-senator Palmer.

Significant Remark by His Friend,
Ex-senator Palmer.
From the New York Tribune.
Ex-senator Thomas W. Palmer of Michi-
gan, who is now in the city, had long
conference with ex-President Harrison at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. After
seeing Gen. Harrison, Mr.. Palmer said:
"In my judgment, Gen. Harrison will not
be a candidate for the presidential nomina-
tion.'
This statement is regarded by politicians
as important on account of the close rela-
tions of personal friendship that have long
existed between the ex-President and Mr..
Palmer. They served in the United States
Senate together and their intimacy was Of
marked character. After Gen. Harrison
became President, he intended that Mr..
Palmer should have place in his cab
met, and proposed that he should accept
the post of Secretary of Agriculture. Mr..
Palmer, however, was bitterly opposed by
Gen. Alger and other Michigan republicans.
M. Palmer declined to place the President
in a position of anita gonism to the domi-
nant faction of the party in Michigan, and
Gen. Harrison gave the portfolio to Gen.
jeremiah Rusk of Wisconsin.
Gen. Harrison afterward appointed Mr..
Palmer minister to Spain. Their friendship
has since been continued without Interrupt
ton or impairment, and it was believed
last evening that the ex-President had con-
fded his purpose to ex-senator Palmer of
keeping out of the race.

Although the notice to the Red Cross
Society that it will not be permitted to dis
tribute relief in Turkey did not come to it
in official folm, 1t Is taken at the head
quarters here as sufficient indication of
the purpose of the Turkish government
Now the society, it is explained, did not

sufferers in Armenia. but simply expressed
q Willingness to undertake to act as dis
tributing agent II the American public de-
sired it and the means we're forthcoming.
II asmuch as the Turkish government has
signified its purpose to exclude the society

for the national Armenian relief committee
at New York to take the next step, IL it
is desired to carry forward the work.
A dispatch from Chicago states that Mrs.

Society," when informed of the announce
1.-The Turkish government has treaty with
the Red Clcss Society which will give Miss
Barton free entrance to Armenia and pro-
lection while she Is at work there. This
was the reason the missionaries asked to
have her sent there. They all knew the
government would not dare molest her or
interfere with the work of the Red Cross.
Miss Barton will positively sail on the day
which has been set and announced. She
did not undertake this work without know
ing every turn which affairs might take,
and no announcement from the TURKISH
legation will stop her. The Red Cross does
not go into forlorn hopes, and this move
ment will be carried through
Can Do Little.
Senator Cullom Of the Senate foreign
relations committee aud chairman of the
subcommittee on Armenian affairs, said to-
day he did not see what action the United
States could take in the matter Of the
exclusion of the Red Cross from Turkey.
ANY government has the right to exclude
persons from it's territory. 1t is a right
which all nations reserve, the United States
as well as others
Senator Cullc0 says that there is little
that Congress can do in the matter of Ar
menian outrages except to express horror
Of the outrages and direct the Secretary
of State to communicate the action to the
Turkish government.
Yesterday Miss Rebecca Krakorian, an
Armenian, called on Senator Cullom and
made a statement of the conditions exist
ing there. She claimed that this govern
r.ent should stop the slaughter of Armen-
ians The missionaries which have been
sent to Armenia, she argued, have taught
the people Christianity and made them
selves and their pupils the subjects of Turk
ish hatred. It is row no more than right
she said that the people of this country
protect the missionaries and the converts.

Fishing Schooner Fortuna Wrecked
Off Massachusetts,.
NINE OF THE CREW we're DROWNED
Fourteen Were Picked Up by
Small Boats.
CAPTAIN PAINE'S ACCOUNT

BOSTON, January 1.-THE Gloucester
fishing schooner Fortuna was sunk in a
collision with the Boston Fruit Company's
fruit steamer Barnstable, off Highland
, light last night. Nine of the Fortuna's
crew were drowned.
- Those lost are William Ackman, Robert
'Childs. Harry McFee, Thomas Stewart,
Crawford Minach, Harvey Emeneau, Simon
Devan, John Clark and William Tobin.
The first news of the disaster reached
the city on the arrival of the Barnstable
today, with fourteen survivors of the For
iuna's crew on board From these men it
was learned that the collision occurred at
about 7:30 Pm, when the vessels were
about four miles off Highland light. The
night was extremely dark and lumpy sea
was running.
The Fortuna was bound for the Georges,
carrying a crew of twenty-three men, in
Guiding the captain, John w. Greenlaw.
The schooner was on the starboard tack,
going at a good rate. The Barnstables
lights were seen, but, knowing she had the
right of way, the sehooner's course was
not altered until too late.
The steamer struck her we'll forward, cut
ting a deep hole, and the schooner began
TO settle Immediately. Before the boats
could be cleared she went down and the
crew were left struggling in the water unit
fourteen of them were picked up by the
Barnstable's boats. The others had gone
down.
Capt. Paine of the Barnstable said to a
representative of the Associated Press: I'VE
We're about three or four miles off Highland
Light, west by southwest, when We struck
the schooner right under her bow. We
Were proceeding on our way, never dream
ing of the impending calamity, when sud-
oenly We saw the starboard light of a Ves-
sci directly in our course.
1T seems as il the light had been covered
by the foretackle, and the wind at that mo-
nlent had blown it clear, thus enabling us to
see the great danger We were in. The wheel
vas hove around to port, but it was too late
to avoid the collision. We struck the For
tuna about three feet aft of the forerigging,
and she sank about four minutes later We
Instantly launched our boats and made
every effort to save the crew. We got four
teen of them, among whom was Captain
Greenlaw, but nine were drowned"
Captain Paine displayed much emotion as
he described the accident, and expressed
profound regret at it's fatal results
- The rescued men were properly cared for
OF board the Barnstable, and Immediately
upon their arrival this morning were sent
10 their homes in Gloucester by train. The
lost sailors all shipped from Gloucester.
Ihe Fortuna was vessel of about 116
tons. and was insured in the Boston Marine
Insurance Company. Capt. Greenlaw was a
part owner. The other owners all reside in
Gloucester.
