n. L. Cham mberlain Taken into Gus
tody for Defrauding j. L.
Ball & Co. of Chicago.

H. l. Chamberlain was arrested this
morning on a warrant charging him
with defrauding J. L. Ball & Co., of
Chicago out of $756.25.
Some time ago, so the complaint
states, Chamberlain ordered Ball & Co
to purchase some wheat for him and
he sent them a check for $2G0 on the
Central National bank of Topeka to
cover the margin. Later he placed an
other order and sent another check
for 5000. Ball & Co. purchased the
wheat and held it. Wheat went down,
but Ball 6, Co. advanced enough money
to cover the decline. Wheat continued
to go lower and they sent the two
checks for 5000 each to Topeka for col
lection. They were returned to them
with the statement from the bank that
Chamberlain had no money on deposit
c. B. Knapp, travelling agent of Ball
&, Co. swOre out the complaint in JUS
tice Guys court. Chamberlain was ar
rested this morning and his bond
placed at $500 which he furnished.
Chamberlain was at one time prOpri-
etor of a scalper's ticket office at 5251A
Kansas avenue and after leaving that
business he opened the Topeka Grain
& Stock Exchange in company with A.
G. Goodwin. The firm failed and
Chamberlain was arrested charged
with crooked transactions. The case
has not been settled.

TURKEYS MINISTER PROTESTS.

According to the officials of the State
Department the New York police authori-
Ties who arrested and the magistrate who
committed Joseph A. Iasigi the Turkish
consul at Boston, have made a bad mis-

The Turkish minister here, Mustapha
Bey, has lodged with the State Depart
ment a protest against the proceedings,
and, while the department Is still looking
up authorities and studying precedents.
II has already been practically concluded
that the arrest was Illegal. The Constitu-
ton and laws provide expressly that a
foreign ccrsul can be tried only under
FEDERAL process and before a federal court

diplomatic officer, but he has the priyi-

Marines az Gunners.

The Navy Department has again reiter-
ated its policy that marines shall be placed
at the guns on shipboard under their own
officers whenever practicable. There has
been stubborn opposition to this policy on
the part of many of the officers of the line
for many years, who claim to have acted
In the interest of the sailors. The question
was recently brought up by Capt. Sands,
commanding the cruiser Columbia, on the
ground that the regulations were not alto
sether clear on the subject. In reply he
has been informed that under the policy
adopted by the department., marines
must be detailed at the guns and so
far as practicable, be under command of
their own officers Heretofore. the regula-
tons have been variously construed as al
lowing the commanding officers discretion
in the matter.

CANEA. Island of Crete, February 15.-
There is not much change in the situation
here this morning. The foreign consuls,
their staffs and the archives of the con-
sulates remain aboard the foreign warships.
The Christian governor of Crete, Bero-

Greek warship.
The skirmishing around the town between
the Mussulmans and the Christians con-

Every precaution has been taken to pro-

The Mussulmans of Halfa and the Chris

RUSSIA AND PROTECTION.
Interesting Report of the Minister Oi
Finance.

Interesting Report OF the Minister Of
A remarkable document, in itself almost
complete treatise on political economy, is
the report of the Russian minister Of
finance transmitting The annual budget, a
copy of which has reached the State De-
partment. The minister succinctly dis
ousses the respective merits of direct and
indirect taxation; protection against free
trade; currency questions. agriculture
economy and other important questions
of state policy, which have attracted much
attention of late years in the United States
He finds that indirect taxation is in every
way preferable to direct taxation not only
being less burdensome to the people but
being more easily realized by the govern
ment.
The minister holds that the results of
twenty years Of protection in Russia fully
justify that policy. He says there can
scarcely be any dispute that once the gov
ernment for long period of time has kept
to strict and consistent system of protec-r
ton any serious relaxation of protection
would be a great political blunder and
would jar the economic organism of the
couptry.
The minister gives most Interesting his
tory of the attempt to improve the Russian
currency system. Great progress was mad,.
in this direction during 1895; the cashinr of
bank notes in gold at the rate of one rouble
fifty capecks already goes on and 1t is now
