TO FUT THE SCREWS ON TURKEY
All Powers Except Russia Agree,
and the Gar Is Considering 1t.


and the Gear Is Considering 1t.
London, Jan. 21.-The government has
issued a blue book containing the official
correspondence in regard to the projected
reforms in Turkey.
The correspondence shows that on Sept
90, last, Lord Salisbury suggested that the
powers offer to enforce their proposals.
and that in the event of unwillingness on
the part of any power to assume its share
in the coercive measures applied, that
power should not oppose the action Of any
other.
Austria gave her assent to this PROPOSE
ton without qualification, and later Ger
many assented, with the provision that
any coercive action taken by the powers
against Turkey must be unanimous, and
further that the integrity of the Ottoman
empire must be maintained. Italy gave
her absolute consent to the proposal, but
Russia objected to any scheme which in
volved the application of coercion to make
it operative. In interposing this objec-
ton, NJ. Shishkin, then at the head of the
Russian foreign office, said that coercive
action was repugnant to the czar.
In reply to this Lord Salisbury expostu-
lated with the Russian minister saying
that it would be useless for the powers to
make further concerted representations 10
the porte in regard to reforms unless they
were prepared to enforce their proposals.
On Nov. a. NJ. Shishkin wrote to Lord
Salisbury saying that the czar had agreed
to consider the question of coercion if the
sultan should prove recalcitrant, and the
other powers were unanimously in favor of
resortng to coercion. About the end of
December France gave similar assent to
measures of coercion and the government
of Russia, Austria and Italy reaffirmed
their adhesion to that plan of action.
Lord Salisbury's correspondence on the
subject closes with a letter dated Jan. 2.
All the newspapers will tomorrow pub
lish comments on the correspondence con-
tained in the blue book.
The liberal organs join with the conser-
vative papers in paying tributes to Lord
Salisbury for his great diplomatic tri-
umph in inducing the powers to assume
a strong attitude on the Turkish ques-
tion. Even those papers which have here
tofore harped on Great Britain's allie eged
futile efforts to bring about a concert Of
the powers regarding Turkey now join in
the chorus of praise of the British prime
minister's mastery diplomatic action.

1t Occurs just Where Recent
H0Id-Up Occured-DetaiIs Meager.
Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 21.-Train rob-
bers got in their work again tonight on
a Southern railway passenger train.
The hold-up was, as on the previous oc-
casion, near Berry station on the Bir-
bingham and Greenville division, and
within 300 yards of the previous occur
renee.
Details are meagre as the officials are
very reticent, and used every effort to
keep the affair sub rosa, but enough is
known to say that the express car was
looted.
This assertion is warranted, as it is
known that Express Agent HALEY re-
received telegram about o'clock, which
said in substance: Train held up near
same place, beyond Berry station. Send
Burns"
AS soon as possible special was gotten
from the Southern roundhouse and yards
and Special Detective p. r. Burns, with
a posse, left for the scene.
The robbers, it Is supposed, got on the
train at Berry station and when a large
stream was reached got into the engine
and made the engineer halt the train. The
express car was forced open and the safe
looted and then the engineer was order
ed to pull out
1t is impossible to learn the amount of
money in the safe as the companys agent
is not to be found

New York, Jan. H.-The three-masted
schooner Nahum Chaplin. Capt. Arey (of
Rockland, Me.,) from Baltimore for Bos-
ton, went ashore some time last night near
Quogue, L. l. The vessel is a total loss,
and the crew. consisting of nine men,
were drowned.
A fierce gale, accompanied by a heavy
driving rain, prevailed at the time and 1t
was impossible for the men to get ashore
or for the people who gathered on the
beach to aid them.
The storm was the widest that has ac-
Cured this winter. and the vessel and
crew were doomed the moment she went
ashore.
The llfe-saving men were soon on the
scene and fired three ropes. two of which
were caught by the men in the rigging,
but they could not make fast to the vessel.
The men could catch the ropes, but could
not secure them TO the schooner
The life savers and those on the beach,
could make out nine persons In the rig
ging. six elinging to the foremost rigging
and three on the jib brow.
The life savers did all In their power TO
get assistance out to the doomed men, but
It was impossible. At the last moment II
was seen that two Of those clinging to
the rigging of the foremast were not men,
but one was a woman and the other a
child. They are supposed to be the wife
and child of Capt. Arey OF the schooner.
Up to noon only two bodies came ashore.

LOANED TOO MUCH MONEY.
One of DesMOines Big Banks Goes
Under For Want of Cash.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 21.-The German
Savings Bank, the second largest bank
in the city in point of deposits, closed its
doors this morning shortly before II
O'Clock. A notice posted on the door
states that the bank is in the hands of
the assignee, Harry Blackburn, who,
only two weeks ago, became it's cashier.
Francis Geneser is president and his son,
j. w. Geneser, cashier up to two weeks
ago, is vice president. The banks capital
is $50,000 which it was about to increase
to $4,000, as its deposits were up to the
legal limit for present capital.
The bank owed depositors, at its last
report on the 9Th instant, 1854, 15S, and its
assets were 1861 ,040. The failure was a
great surprise.
Chairman Martin of the clearing house
association gave out the following state
ment:
The clearing house committee went over
the German Banks affairs yesterday and
this morning, and it was decided that it
was not best to grant its application for
aid, and the request was denied. The
trouble was that the bank loaned too
closely and kept too little cash for emer-
gencies.
The German Savings Bank was organ
lied in 1S9S
At 6:15 this evening, on petition of ].
w. Geneser, ex-cashier, H. 7. Blackburn
was named as receiver of the German
Savings Bank by Judge Holmes. The
change was made by direction of the state
auditor in order to facilitate the conduct
of the banks affairs.
Mr.. Blackburn said this evening that the
bank will pay all depositors IN full. J. :.
Rounds. cashier of the Citizens National,
who went to Chicago representing the Des
Moines Clearing House Association, wires
that three-quarters of a million of cur-en-
cy will reach here tomorrow for the Des
Moines banks. The clearing house has ie
cided to take advantage of the sixty days
clause. None of the banks did so, al
though several had considerable runs, the
savings institutions especially. All de-
mands were easily met, however
The movement for Reorganization of the
German Savings is taking definite form,
and it il announced that the stockholders
will meet in day or two and arrange. if
possible, to secure new capital and re-
sumo.
The stockholders are almost all wealthy.

IT'S MOST VALUABLE ASSET.
MIR. Sage Wants to Retain Govern
ment Interest in the Union Pacific.

ment Interest in the union racine.
New York, Jan. 2.-The plan of the syn
dicate of bankers, recently formed in this
city to purchase the government interests
in Union Pacific, met unexpected oppo-
sition to-day from Russell Sage, and the
Union and United States Trust Company,
who declares themselves unalterably op-
posed to any plan which contemplates the
elimination of the government interests in
the property.
Mr. Sage, after a long conference at the
Mercantile Trust Company, said that he
regarded the interest of the United States
government in the road the most valuable
asset of the company and that the same
should be retained. Mr.. Sage owns about
100000 worth of Union Pacific securities.
George Gould represents some $500 900
worth and the two trust companies con-
troll about $2,000,00O
AS j. Pierrepont Morgan is said to- hold
the same view as MIR. Sage and the trust
companies 1t is believed on account of
their opposition the plans of the syndicate
will fail.
1t is said that there was a serious dis
agreement between Mr. Sage and George
Gould on this matter, and that the latter
has sided with the syndicate, 1t is also
said that the views of Mr.. Sage and those
of President Fitzgerald of the Mercantile
Trust Company, were so different on the
subject that both men separated in anger.
MIR. Sage believes in letting Union Pa
cific matters rest just where they are, un-
til the Mckinley administration is in Of
flee, and he believes negotiations can be
comsummated that will be satisfactory to
all security holders give the government
satisfactory security and retain the in
