is a fare and u third. or S1i.S0. on the GER

WcCdmen the first reduction. naming a rate
of one fare for the round trip. The Maple
Leaf met this with a rate of $50. which
the Milwaukee cut to $50. The Maple Leaf
met this latter rate. At a meeting Of the

route was voted. with the expectation that
the rate would go lower. The Milwaukee
Withdrew fits $50 rate the following day,

INQUIRIES ABOUT ANGEL.
urkfs Government Is Not Sure She
Cares to Receive the New Unit
ed States Minister.

Washington. May 29.-Certain Inquiries
that have been propOunded by the Turkish
government as to the record of DR.. An
gell, who has been appointed successor to
Mr.. Terrell as minister to Turkey. have
led to the erroneous conclusion that for
NAL objection has been made to the min
lister. or, in other words, that our govern
ment has been informed that DR. Angel is
ment ii is firmly denied that any such oh
lection has been made to the reception Of
tho minister. but il is a fact that some
time ago Mr.. Terrell was acquainted by
the porte with the fact that the Turkish
government would be pleased to know
whether certain ideas of the qualities and
record of the new minister were well
founded. This is said to be a right that
the Turkish government has always
claimed. but it cannot be learned whether
or not this right has been exercised before
in the case of an American minister. In
DIR. Angeles case, the Inquiries are sup
posed TO be based upon his connection
with some religious organization which the
porte suspects of peculiar antipathy to the
MOhammedan faith. The state department
does not question the right of a country to
decline to receive an obnoxious minister.
While in DIR. AngelHs case there was no
formal complaint, 1t was the belief Of the
officials that it would be best at once to
meet the suspicious. apparently founded
on error. and TO present the truth. To this
end, the Turkish minister here. Mustafa
Bey. has been consulted and explanations
of the state department will satisfy the
Turkish government as to the minister's
fitness for his post and his acCeptability to
the Turks.

MISSING AGENT LOCATED.
James F. Watkins, of the Maple Leaf,
Has Been Suffering From Men,
tai Alteration.

James F. Watkins, who was local agent
of the Chicago Great Western at Kansas
City until october l, 1896. when he mys-
teriously disappeared, has been located in
Chicago. where he occupies a position with
the Western Union as a telegraph operator.
He claims to have no recollection whatever
of his movements since leaving this city,
and only an indistinct remembrance of ever
having been I'm Kansas City. Mrs. Wat
kins, who has resided here since the disap-
pecranCe of her husband. has left for Chi
caGo to Join him. 1t is expected he will
give up his position there June l and re-
turn 10 the home of his mother at Clinton,
lar, to rest and recover from the shock.
The disappearance of Watkins has always
been a mystery. His accounts were all
right. and he is said to have had the hap
piest of domestic relations. He says he has
an underlined recollection of having met
with some kind of an accident, in which a
Pullman sleeping car played a prominent
part. hut he cannot give any definite infor-
nation regarding it. The one child of Mr..
and Mrs. Watkins is with friends in Kan
Sas City, and will join her parents at Clin-
ton, Ia, should they decide to go there.
The search for the missing local agent had
been vigorously prosecuted under the direc-
ton of the railway officials since his disap-
pcarGnCe.

DEAVOR BUSINESS.

Local Agent Watkins Found
Hallway News.

Chicago, May 29.-Rates for the Christian
Endeavor convention in San Francisco have
become badly demoraliZed. Low as is the
SIS one way rate agreed on from Chicago
to the ocean, there is no likelihood of the
roads receiving anything like it for each
passenger carried. A wild scramble for the
business has been commenced by the COM
peting roads. Each has its agents out con-
tracing all the business they can find. 1t
is charged that cuts are being made in the
shape of cash donations to the general
funds, free transportation for the general
officers of the society and the heads of the
various delegations. Just where the trou-
bic began is hard to determine. Associa-
ton roads are trying to fix the RESPONSE
bility on outside roads. They in turn re-
pudiate it, and try to fix the blame on the
association roads, which, they claim, are
trying to have the odium fastened on the
outside roads so that they may be called
down by the financial powers and ordered
to become members of the association. That
generalization exists, however, nobody
tries to deny.
