SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS A MEN,
Der OF A MISSIONARY
SOCIETY.
The President Will EnieayOr To
0bliterate Causes For The Oh
lection And Get That
Government 10 Ac-
cept Him.

New York, May Pa special to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
The Sultan of Turkey objects to re-
ceiving James B. Angel as envoy sx-
traordinary and minister plenipotenti-
airy of the United States in Constanti-
nople. Though as rule government
is not bound to state reasons for con-
sidering a minister persona non gra-
tia, the objections to Prof. Angel are
said to be based upon his connection
with missionary societies in this coun-
try. Indeed it is understood that
Mustpha Bey, the Turkish minister
here, informally lodging the protest OF
the Sublime Porte against the recep-
ton of Prof. Angel with the secretary
of State said that the objections of the
Sultan were based on Mr.. Angeles
membership in Christian order
whose animosities against the Mahom-
oedan religion are extreme"
1t is not known which order" Must
pha Bey referred to. 1t is likely tha
in Constantinople or possibly in tn
minds of the Turkish minister herr
some confusion exists as to the tru'
nature of the work of missionary so
cieties in which Prof. Angel has fol
many years participated in.
Prof Angel is in town now and ha:
been at the White House in consulta'
ton with the president. Presumably
an attempt will be made to remove the
unfavorable impressions created In
the minds of the Sultan and his ad,
visers by the selection of Minister An
CELL to convince him that through q
friend of missionaries, the appoint
ee of President Mckinley is an expert
enced diplomat, a man of affairs and
gentleman. If the attempt to remove
this prejudice against Minister Angel
should prove unsuccessful there is nc
remedy for him.

OF THE CITY.
ANSWER FILED YESTERDAY
INSISTS fhATS THE CITY,s DEPOSIT
was IN VIOLATION OF
Law,
BEING GitEATER THAN THE SUM
Permitted Fern to BE Deposited
1t Was Not an Authorized De-
Iposftory Either.

Attorneys for the sureties on the
bond given by the Minnesota Savings
bank, who were sued by the city to
recover the $4,000 of the city funds
on deposit in that institution. filed
answers in the suits yesterday. E. E..
Mcdonald, who has been retained by
II. l.. Schade George J. Mitsch. Thom-
as F. Conroy, l.. /. Casserly, L. D.
Barnard and Charles E. Chapel, filed
joint answer in behalf, of the defend
ants. The answer sets up that under
the section Of the charter amounts de-
posted in banks by the city shall not
exceed the assessed valuation Of the
capital stock as shown by the dupli-
cate tax lists! The records in the as
SCISSORS office show that. the assessed
capital stock of the Minnesota Savings
bank was only $4,000. The answer also
sets up that the bank was organized
under the law of 1867, and was not au-
thoriZed. to issue .sany stock, and, in
fact, did not issue any. That by rea-
son of such. organization as savings
bank the institution was not subject
to taxation. That at the time the
money was deposited in the bank by
the city there was no duplicate tax list
in the assessors office. and that there
is no such list in the office of the coun-
~ assessors g III
1t is admitted, that Oct. 6, 1896, the
trustees of the bank passed a resolu-
tion AUTHORIZING the president and
cashier to procure and file bonds for
such deposits, as provided by law. but
it is argued that the deposit of the
$4,000 by the city treasurer was un
lawful and unauthorized. Another de-
fense is that the. bank was not desig-
mated as 4 city, depository.
j. M. HaWthorne. attorney for F. c.
Stevens, the remaining surety on the
bond, also filed an aswer in the suit
brought against him. The answer is
along the Same line as in the other
cases. The suits will not be tried be-
fore the October term of court.

Assembly lymen Explain Their AntaS-
Ouisn, to the Charter.

OniSm to the Charter.
After the assembly adjourned last evening
reporter for the G o @ asked the four
members of the body who had voted against
the charter commission as to their reasons
for such action.
President Arosin said he had not thoroughly
read or considered the law passed by the
legislature, and. until he had done SO, was
not prepared to vote for the commission Or
dinance. ,
Assemblyman Reardon also thought the
matter had not been considered enough, but
that later he might vote for the measure.
Assemblyman Mabon said he thought the
Bell charter was the best for the interests
of the city He was not a member Oh the
committee on streets, and had not heard the
ordinance discussed. When his attention was
called to the fact that the passage OF the Or
dinance and the appointment of commission
did not adopt the charter, Mr.. Mabon sald
"No; I understand that, but don't you Know
that :he people will vote for anything that's
new. ,.o4, -
1t is reported that the principal oblectlon 10
the new cha ter in the minds of both MI Manon

that the measure might knock them cut Oh d

Milk Cart,s Close Cali.

What threatened to be a serious accident
was averted yesterday morning by the pres
ence Of mind displayed by Gripman sos, on
the Selby avenue cable line. His train
had just coached the foot of the Selby avenue
longing to a Hamline milk dealer crossed
directly in front of 1t. The grip struck both
horse and wagon, and a bad mix-up seemed
inevitable. when the gripman released his
hold on the cable, threw on the brakes and
brought the train to staDd-still on the steep
grade. The horse started down Third street,
but,-w soon stopped, and no serious dam
age was done, although a goodly quantity
of milk was scattered on the pavement
