House Votes to Strike Pneumatic Tube
= Section FrDm Postoffice Bill. 4
WASHINGTON, April q. The house
put its heel upon the mail pneumatic
system now in operation in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, and if its ac-5
tion stands the whole service will be
crushed out. The postoffee committee
had recommended an increase Of the;
appropriation for this service from
e225, 900 to $725, 900. The proposed in.
crease was attacked by the appropria-
ions committee under the leadership Of
Mr.. Moody {Mass.) with such vigor
md success that in the end the house
voted by 70 to so to strike the entire ap-
preparation from the bill. Mr.. Moody
created a sensation by the manner in
which he assailed the methods of the
pneumatic tube company and the direct
charge that a former member Of con-
gress who had been member Of the
appropriations committee had been a
holder of the stock Of the company. He
charged that block of stock had been
sent as New Years gift to near rela-:
tive of. another member Of congress, but
to the credito Of the member he said the
dishonoring gift had heen returned to
the sender by the next mail. Although
the tube service was highly commended
by other members these revelations
transformed the sentiment Of the house,
which has several times voted for the
tube service, into a decisive majority
against its continuation in any form.

NOTE TO TEWF'IK,
Turkish Foreign Minister Gets
q Communication From
Washington.
Not Made Public, But Understood
to Be a Demand For In
demnity.
Two Words in a Dispatch That
Appear to Have Impressed
the Porte.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Wednesday, April
25.-The negotiations between the
United States and the porte regarding
the American indemnity claims have
again been transferred here. United
States Charge d 'Affaires Griscom has
handed to Tewfik Pasha, minister of
foreign affairs, q note based on instruc-
hons he had received from Washington
the tenor of which has not yet been
made public. It is understood, however,
that it demands prompt payment Of the
indemnity. The note will be discussed
at the council of ministers during the
DAY. Similar steps by the other powers
are regarded as imminent. +
Charge Griscom, in the present cir
cumstances, declines to express his
views. T. ,,s i .sSa 5 t"& &
Payment the Only Issue.
The only issue at present, however,
is the execution Of the porte's repeated
promises to Minister Strauss to pay the
indemnity. After Mr.. Strauss left the
matter remained in abeyance until the
Associated Press dispatch from Wash
ington, April II sharply reminded the
Turkish government that the question
required urgent attention. The porte
Immediately telegraphed to the Turkish
minister at Washington asking for ex-
plantations for reported strained rela-
tions. The minister replied that he had
called at the state department. and was
informed that the situation had not yet
assumed q serious character. The
words "not yet" seem to have i'm
pressed the porte, and on the strength
Of this information the sultan issued
an trade in regard to the Kharput mat
ter, which he hoped would serve as :
sop, and defer pressure in the demands
for indemnity, although it is generally
recognized that permission to rebuild
#ill be of little value to the mission
aries without the payment Of in
demnity. S II,
Another trade issued April 25 orders
Rear Admiral Ahmed Pasha to proceed
to America in order to study the con-
/ struction of battleships.

Everything now depends upon the

roads, and nothing is known regarding
the condition OF the horses. In any
case it is now race. between the Beers
and the forces of General French and
