TO AWE THE SULTAN.
Battleship Kentucky Ordered tc
 smyrna.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The first class battleship Kentucky, now in Med iterranean waters, has been ordered to touch at Smyrna, Turkey, on her way to the Philippines. The Kentucky has been ln Mediterranean waters for some time, has made q stop at Algerian port and is now at Naples. She is going to Manila via the Suez canal route and is in con- mand of Captain Colby NJ. Chester. The hentucky's presence in Turkish waters will be coincident with renewed efforts on the part of the administration to col lect from the Turkish government pay ment of the indemnity claimed by the United States for the destruction of mis- slonary property in that country some years ago.
 These claims have been pending for a long time. The payment of the indemnity was urged in turn by Ministers Angell and Straus, and Mr. Grscom, the Amer lcan charge, now at Constantinople, has been persistent in his demands for set tlement, but thus far apparently without any definite assurance that the claims will be paid. The claims approximate in amount $1C0,0 GOO.
 Smyrna lies at the head of the gulf of that name, has large population and for centuries has been the most important center of trade in the Levant. The city lies out of the ordinary line of travel to the Suez canal.
 Naval officers are proud of the splen- did battleship Kentucky, which only re- gently has been launched. She has dis placement of 11,525 tons. an indicated horsepower of 10000 and has P guns in her main battery. Much admira- tion has been expressed for her appear ance at the places she has stopped, and the detour to Smyrna is said in official quarters to be for the purpose of showing her off.

TROUBLE ABOUT GRADE.
Webster School Property Said to Be
 Graded Too High.

Graded Too High.
 There is considerable faultfnding going on among residents of the North End about the grade of the Webster school property on Easton avenue, which is said to be over q foot higher than the school officials intended it should be and that in order to right the blunder the whole place will have to be terraced over again. Various reasOns are being assigned for this mistake. some people stating that the fault rests with the old school board, who built without getting any grade the. street was worked to an estab- lished grade. The eX-schOol officials deny this and stand prepared to prove that they built to the grade given them by the city engineer and that if things are not all right there the blame be longs some place else. so that after all there may have been d good deal of truth in what Mir Buckley, who owns property in that street, said before the meeting of the board of aldermen the other night when he accused the board of public works of showing him one profile and grade and working the This Is highly improbable. but from all accounts there must have been some misunderstanding on the part of the school officials and the bureau of en- gineering else they would have ter raced their property so as to conform to the grade of the street.

Several parties interested in this novel scheme are now in Morocco trying to obtain permission to build a railroad in that place. Technically the plan is said to be a possibility, as it is merely a question of boring through rock.

WHITE HOUSE SHAKY.
Presidents Home in Washington
 Deemed Unsafe

Deemed Unsafe.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-There F. Considerable anxiety at the White House as to the stability of the building.
 An accident occurred there late Sat urday night which has occasioned wide conjecture as to whether the old historic structure is ill q general state of col lapse.
 Shortly after midnight Saturday there was q crash in the east room which star tied everybody in the mansion, including the president and Mrs. Mckinley, who had retired.
 An investigation showed that the life sized portrait of Abraham Lincoln, which has for years occupied a position of hon or on the cast vail of the room along with life sized portraits of Martha Wash ington, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, had fallen face downward up- on the floor, carrying with it the hang ings and part of the cornice from which it was suspended. All four of the pie lures were hung before closed windows being attached to the heavy cornice sur Amounting these windows.
 In its descent the picture of Lincoln struck q sofa immediately underneath and this broke the force of the fall. One corner of the heavy gold frame in which the portrait was mounted was parted and somewhat broken, but the canvas was unln JuTed.
 The cause of the accident is not defi- nltely known, but a new stairway to the presidents office in the cast wing of the building to replace the old one, which had been pronounced unsafe, has just been completed, and it is thought that the hammering upon the opposite side of the walls may have loOsened the plaster ing and allowed the picture to fGll, or it may have been partly due to the wire be- coming thin as a result of long wear, causing it to break easily.
 The general theory advanced is that there is some radical defect in the east ern, or business, wing of the mansion. During recent years much additional weight has been imposed on that part Of the building by a greatly increased cler- icaI force and the piling up of records and files, such as previously were de- strOyed or stored in other government buildings.
 Within the past year or two several defects have been discovered in the busi- ness portion of the structure, and efforts have been made to remedy them as far as possible. 4 short time back the floor of the second story showed unlnistaka ble signs of giving way. It was found that there was q depression in the floor of more than q foot, caused by weak and decayed timbers and overweight caused by crow6ing too large q force into the limited space next the main stairway leading to the cabinet room, ard other office rooms gave way and had to be re- bl-iIt

A Pastor Charged With Crime

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Nov. 2O-A sensational murder mystery has devel- oped at Wyoming, near here, and the principal figure in it is Rev D. c. Stu art, former pastor of the Wyoming Baptist church. The pastors wife died suddenly two weeks ago at the home of her daughter i'll Plymouth. She had been married but three months and was i'll only ten days. Her illness was not con sidered serious, and she died suddenly shortly after her husband had carried dinner to her bedside. An empty bottle having the label of ''carbolic ,acid' was found near the bed, and suicide was sug
 gested. Numerous suspicious circum- stances have been brought to light and the body was exhumed and an autopsy will be held. The reverend gentleman was asked to account for some money belonging to the church, which he failed to do, and he resigned his pastorate and left for Philadelphia. A warrant has been issued for the missing pastor, charging him with murder and abortion.
