Sultan InstruciS His Ministers to Conclude
Peas. Negotiations.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 15.-Important
ministerial councils were held at which
an indemnity of e6, 100000 was agreed
upon as the limit. This agreement was
sanctioned by an imperial trade.
The council further prepared report
stigmatizing the concert of Europe as a
''league OF cross against crescent" The
sultan, after considering the report,
answered by the following trade:
II am convinced that the effort and
energy OF the powers are directed entire
ly towards the maintenance of peace and
the prevention of fresh complications.
In these circumstances it is the plain
duty OF Turkey, whose sentiments are
pacific, to put an end to the present
abnormal situation. Consequently,
command the ministers, if possible, to
fnd the necessary means for concluding
the negotiations and to sign the prelimi-
naries for peace by Thursday"
The foregoing is authentic, but is re-
garded as ruse intended to delay de-

WASHINGTON, July l5.-The senate
was i'll a deadlock for several hours dur
ing the day, with business at stand
STILL while calls of the senate, roll calls
and other parliamentary expedients
were resorted to. 1t was due to the

of Mr.. Harris (Kan.), designed to pre-
vent the disposal Of the government

the terms of an alleged agreement.
There were many roll calls on Mr.. Har-

to report resolution for the ratification
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty with
out amendment. Senator Davis, chair
man of the foreign relations committee,
later reported the action of the commit

Senator White as to whether there
would be an effort to take up the treaty
at the present session. To this Mr..
Davis replied that he was not now pre-
pared to say.

to carry out instructions, and to pursue
anarchists in case any emergency should
arise.

Kentucky Man at the Head of the League
of Republican Clubs.
DETROIT, July 15.-Leonard j. Craw.
ford of Newport, KY, has been elected
president of the National Republican
League. While the contest for the
presidency had all the appearance Of a
close struggle the result can scarcely be
said to have been in doubt. The lead
ing candidates in opposition to Craw-
ford were Fleitz of Pennsylvania and
Higgins of Michigan, but only one bal
lot was necessary for a decision. Ac-
cording to the indications NJ j. Dowl-
ing of Minnesota will be reelected as
secretary, which will complete the lead
ing slate of Crawford, Bowling, and
committee ON time and place of next
convention selected Omaha, but left the
question of. dates to the Nebraska
league.
The Platform Adopted.
There was no contest ever resolutions,
the strenuously expressed wish of colored
delegates for the addition of an anti.
lynching declaration was willingly
granted. The platform commends
the president and congress in
sending monetary commission
to European nations; for in
augurating measures for the annexation
of Hawaii, and for an attitude ON the
Cuban matter that has tended to lessen
Spanish atrocities in that island. They
urge upon congress the earliest possible
passage of discrimination duty meas
ure to protect American shipping.
Congress was commended for foster
ing the beet sugar industry by legisla.
ton. The question of equal suffrage to
woman is recommended to members of
the league as a matter of education.
President Cleveland's civil service
changes are vigorously condemned, and
a modification of the rules and provi.
sions of that law are favored.

ings as unwarranted and are apparently
more determined than before his atti-
tude was known to hold out for the sem
ate figures. The contending forces on
the wool schedule, the carpet manufac-
turers and the wool growers, outside the
conference have practically reached an
agreement which it is presumed will be
ratified by the conferees.
Receded From Agreements.
From all that can be learned there
has been a general recession from the
partial agreements made on the less i'm
portant articles, until sugar, wool and
hides can be definitely settled. The best
reports represent the house conferees,
with Speaker Reed behind them, as
holding out for the house sugar sched-
ule, without any change whatever, and
the senators quite as determined not to
yield to this extent. The house confer
ees insist that this schedule must be
definitely fixed before other questions
shall be taken up. One of the
other questions upon which sharp diff
ferences have arisen, is the senate
amendment for stamp tax on stocks
and bonds. The house opposed the
amendment, but the senator's, while not
welded to it, insist upon it as necessary
for revenue. The house is also resisting
strenuously the 20 per cent duty placed
upon hides.

League Of Republican Clubs at
Detroit Makes Crawford
President.

LOUISVILLE, July 15.-The convention
Of the National Democrats of Kentucky
was notable and unique to a marked de-
gree. Many of Kentucky's most prom
inent statesmen were in attendance,
and there was almost constant flow of
oratory of which nearly 1000 delegates
did not weary. 1t may be said, too,
that firmly as they Were imbued with
the principles which underlie their
party of National Democracy, little of
bitterness towards their free silver
brothers found expression. While de-
termined to fight without compromise
or yielding the advocates Of free silver,
it was almost the unanimous conviction
that the true spirit should consist in a
tireless effort to reclaim" those who
had parted from them, and once again
enable Kentucky and every state to pre-
sent solid united Democracy to oppose
the Republican party or any political
foe.
Carlisle as Chairman.
After the convention was called to or
der permanent organization was speed
lily effected with the Hon. John G. Car.
Isle as chairman, and the convention
arose as one man to wave hats and
cheer as he assumed the presidency.
For some seconds the enthusiastic tu-
multi prohibited him from speaking,
and he stood bowling his recognition of
the very fiattering reception. When
quiet was restored Mr.. Carlisle pro-
ceeded with his speech, and the manner
in which he treated the money, question
drew forth recurring applause. Espe-
cially happy in delivery was Mr.. Car
Isle in his reference to ex-President
Cleveland, who shared in the applause
bestowed upon the speaker. "Three
cheers for Carlisle" were given with
lusty will when he concluded, and this
was followed by an insisting demand
for Mr.. Watterson. The latter then
addressed the convention at length.
Denounce Free Silver.
At the conclusion of Mr. Watterson's
speech the resolutions were read by the
Hon. w. @. p. Breckenridge. They
were adopted with great enthusiasm.
After reaffirming allegiance to the plat
form Of the Indianapolis convention of
1896 they have this to say on the none
tary question:
"We denounce the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as inevitably producing
silver monometallism, and we advocate
gold standard and the coinage of
silver to the requirements of commerce
as Offering the only means Of maintain-
ing bimetallism."
Following the disposal of the COM
mittee report w. @. P. Breckenridge ad-
dressed the delegates with a burst of or
atory that commanded close attention.
Hon. James r. Hindman of Adair
county was then unanimously nomi-
mated for clerk of the court of appeals,
the only Office to be filed, and the con-
yention adjourned.
