Turkey Must Halt.

BERLIN, May 27.-According to dis
patch to the Frankfort Zeitung from Con
stantinople, Count Muravien, the Russian
Foreign Minister, told the Turkish Am
bassador at St. Petersburg that Turkey
must renounce her impossible claim to
annex TheSSaly. He added that in his
opinion that the claim had only been ad-
Vanced to prolong the negotiations, or as
a pretext for renewing the war, which
Europe would on no account permit. This
statement so impressed the Sultan that
he has been making special efforts to re-
store friendly relations with England,
and TO this end ordered the whole palace
encourage to attend the garden party
given at the English Embassy in honor
of the Queens birthday.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The beet SUI

crisis in spite of the various ingenious
and complex legislative remedies that
have been applied. From several of the
United States Consular officers-Mann at
Frankfort, AIuth at Madgeburg and Nor
state Department describe of the evil
conditions that exist in the sugar indus
try. Consul Muth says the last sugar
law of May 10, 1896, has been disappoint-
ing in it's effects. Prices have declined
even in the face of a largely increased
demand from the United States. Consul
Mann says the law has actually increased
the beet acreage, which was already al
its extreme point of safe expansion. Con
sui Morris transmits a copy of most
urgent and desperate plea for help from
the Belgian Sugar-makerS.
