Judge Turner would bring SO much Joy
that all who voted for him would look
back with pride 20 the act. lie desired TO
have his vote cast for Judge Turner.
Representative Scion r Williams was
evidently disgTunrled at the fiood tide
which was setting in favor OF Turner.
Mr. Williams made a short speech in
which he intimared that the time would
come when the people would miss the
services OF Watson Q. Squire. whose
voice had heen So potent In the senate OF
the United States. Therefore, he would
cast his vote for Watson G. Squire.
When the roll had been called AZ far as

uncomfortable cheer broke forth. in which

London, July 7.--Gracco Turkish affairs
appear to be ro-entering an interesting
stage.
Today tho Porte dispatched circular
TO lis representatives abroad containing a
skillful defense OF .he Turkish cause and
declining TO consider any frontier line in
Thcssaly north OF the river pcnios, which
1t regards ms the natural boundary.
1t appears that the sultan has convinced
himself that the powers will not resort to
coercion. and has decided to test the nj
legged concert Of Europe TO the utmost. ON
Monday he summoned n council of minis
tiers for an extraordinary sitting Of tho
Yildig Eioak.
A report was drawn up In favor OF re-
summing hostIites II peace should not be

oils. Everything is ready for Immediate
action"
According 10 this report. the sultan dis
cussed the possibility of Russia and Ger
many attempting coercion and declared that
he was entirely ready to meet them both.
The foregoing may be perhaps only q
blum, ani II is oven alleged in some quar-
tors. among others by the Italian admiral
at Crete. that peace is actually in view.
But II is significant that General Smolen-
