the parents mistake. The children

my little boy, when he was eight
weeks old, was attacked with rheuma-

gotiations essential to carry forward
fthe will of congress as expressed in the
sections above referred to. Moreover,
the pressure for early and consistent
| action in the arrangement of measures
of reciprocity has been very great, from
foreign countries, as well as from our
own citizens.
The interest of the president in re-
ciprocity is especially keen, and during
his connection with the tariff legisla-
ton of 1890. while chairman of the
committee, on ways and means of the
house of representatives, the inclusion
in that law of a reciprocity provision
was conclusive Of his determination to
foster and promote American industry
and commerce by this means. In view
of these facts the president has desig-
mated Mr.. Kasson, of Iowa, as such
special commissioner, with Mr.. Chap
man Coleman, of Kentucky. as secre-
tary, and Mr.. John Ball Osborne. of
Scranton, Pa. as assistant secretary.
The commissioner is charged par
ticularly to look after the agricultural
interests, both north and south, not
forgetting the large and constantly in
creasing manufacturing interests east
of the Alleghanies.
Mr.. Kasson has had a varied expert
ence in diplomatic negotiations, and
has shown much ability in all with
which he has been connected. He was
minister to Austria from June IL, 1877,
10 May, 1881; minister to Germany
from July 4, 1884, to March, 1885. He
was also one of the commissioners to
represent the government of the United
States at the conference held in Berlin
concerning Samoan affairs, and is one
of the signatories of the Berlin general
act, concluded June IA, 1850. He was
then commissioned as special envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary, his commission. bearing date
March 10, 1889. Preceding his diplo-
matte service, Mr.. Kasson was for many
years a member of the ways and means
committee of the house of representa-
tives, and in that place became thor
oughly familiar with all aspects of the
tariff question and the debate on that
| subject.

Constantnople, Nov. 12.-The Russian
embassy here has made an important
announcement to the Turkish govern
ment In substance it says that if
Turkey intends to apply part of the
Greek war indemnity to Turkish arm
aments, Russia desires to remind Tur-
key that the unpaid arrears of the
Russo-Turkish war indemnity amounts
to 100000 pounds, adding that if the
policy of the Turkish government is
as indicated, Russia will demand the
