POWERS CANNOT AGREE.
Settlement Of Eastern Question Hard
70 Reach.
PLAN FOR REFORM READY TO BE
SUBMITTED.

But Question of Coercion an Open One
Germany Opposed to Force-Russia
Not Unwilling to Agree But Wants
Time.
Berlin, January 17.-Under instruo-
tions from the foreign Office Baron
Saurma Won Jeltsch, the German am
bassador to the Porte has given persistent
support to M. Nelidof the Russian am
bassador throughout the series Of ambas-
sadorial conferences in ConstantinOple,
which are to now terminate. In the dis
oussion Of the financial and administra-
tive reforms proposed by M. Nelidof,
Baron Saurma has taken no prominent
part.
M. Cambon and Sir Phillip Currie,
respectively Frsnch and English ambas-
sadors, ara understood to have obtained
some important amendments to the
Russian proposals, which have now re-
ceiFed the assent of the European govern
ments The English and Italian ambas-
sadors advocated distinct plan of armed
enforcement of the decisions of the
Powers and argued that the presentation
of the reform projects to the Sultan,
should be accompanied by an explicit
declaration that the Powers were pre-
pared to enforce them by sea and land.
The report is entirely credited in official
and diplomatic quarters here that Sir
Philip Curria will place before the am
bassador fully matured project OF naval
and military operations, designed to
cover the occupation of Constantinople
the Dardenalles and Bosphorus and to
overawe the Moslem population in the all
too probable event of a rising and at
tempted massacre.
To any consideration of coercion the
Baron took decided stand in opposition.
The Kaiser obviously continues to hold
that the Sultan must be trusted to carry
out the reforms and his sovereign rights
should not be interfsred with. M.
Neliaoff professed no unwillingness to
agree to the principle of coercion, but
opposed the English proposals on the
ground that they were premature, and
that the Sultan mast have time to act.
On this point Of time communications
are passing between the Powers.

A REVOLVING STORY.
A Springfield Pole Kills His stepdaughter
and Attempts Suicide.

Springfield, Mass, January 1Z.-On
Sharon street. early this morning Domi-
nick Kratafosti, an Austrian Pole. shot
his step daughter twice, killing her al
most instantly and then turning the
revolver against himself put a bullet in
to his brain. He tried twice to shoot
himself, but only one of the bullets took
effect He Is lying at a hospital with
the prospects against his recovery.
The people concerned in the crime are
OF the worst element OF the population
and an investigation into the affairs OF
the family brings to light peculiarly
vicious state of things. 1t seems that
Kratafosti has been crilninally intimate
with his stepdaughter for nearly year.
Whenever he is drunk, which has bean
quite often, he tried to assault her, and
she has often complained to the police.
About year ago the police were called
to the house to afford her protection
against her stepfather.
This morning Kratafosti tried to assault
her again, with one or two people in the
room. She resisted. and in a fit of rage.
he shot her. He had threatened to do
this on similar occasion and seeIus to
have bought revolver for the purpose.
The first shot was fred while the girl
was sitting upon cot bed in the kitchen
where she slept with her mother.
The wound was not fatal, and she
started to run into one of the other rooms
when the second shot took effect near
the heart and killed her almost Instant
ly. Kratafosti then retreated into his
own bed room and fred two shots at
himself, one of them entering the brain
through the ear.

the mightiest and grandest movement of
driving brutal war off the earth. He said
the men who on either side Of the sea did
the most to effect that plan Of arbitration
made themselves immortal. The eve Of
the present administration of the United
States government mad been honored with

Ministers Urge the Ratification of the
AngIo-American Treaty.

New York, January 17.-Rey. DR..
livered sermon On the proposed arbitra-
tion treaty between this country and
Great Britain. He said that it was one
of the greatest events of the closing
century and the greatest blessing ever
given humanity. 1t would make Eng
land and the United States the arbi-
TRAITORS of the peace of the world. Other
European nations would before long ap-
ply for admission to the alliance and step
by step the disarmament Of Europe
would follow. War would be thing Of
the past and all differences between
nations would be settled by arbitration. 3
DR.. Newton said that there was q
sudden arrest in the ratification of this
boon to humanity through petty jeal-
ousies, ienoble partisanship, and mean
and skulking motives on the part of SEN
ators at Washington. This was deep
and damning shame to Our nation. ri call
upon you men of influence" he said, to
use every means in your power to bring
the pressure Of public opinion upon our
hesitating Senate to shame that ignohle
treatment Of such agnifcent oppor-
tunity."
Rev, Madison Peters at the Blooming
dale Reformed church in prelude to his
sermon, said tThe arbitration treaty
between England and America is the
most magnificent triumph of human
progress, the browning glory Of the 18th
century.

Visitors at Canton.

+ "
Canton, Ohio, January 16.-Mr. Nc
Kinley had an extraordinary day of it
today and his library was never free
from guests of greater or less importance.
The most important callers were Judge
Joseph MoKenna of San Francisco,
prominently mentioned for Secretary of
the Interior, Senators Nj. 8. Quay and
Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, and ex-
Congressman Fl. L. Morey of Cincinnati,
who arrived tonight. The two Pennsyl-
vaniAns reached Canton shortly before
noon ana were met at the station by
one of MeKinley's secretaries. They
were cordially greeted by Mr.. Mckinley
with whom they remained in confereno
for over an hour. Neither Mr.. Quay or
Mr.. Mckinley cared to talk on the object
of the meeting. Senator Quay denied
to the United Presses reporter that there
was any discussion of Charles Emory
Smiths cabinet boom. Mr.. Penrose said
they had presented the name of Gov
Hastings for a cabinet position and
while no specific place has been nam ed,
he would make an excellent Secretary of
War.
