TURKEY SEEMS TO
Be FRIGHTENED.
It Wants to Know About the Visit of the
Kentucky to Smyrna in Asia
Minor.
NEGOTIATIONS ARE PROGRESSING.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S-Ali Fer
rouh Bey, the Turkish minister, called
on Secretary Hay today relative to the
visiting of the big battleship Kentucky
to Turkish waters. After his talk with
the secretary, the minister declared
that the Kentucky's visit conveyed no
menace. Inquiry at the state and navy
departments today as to the Kentuc-
ky's mission, ELECTED the simple state
ment that the visit of the battleship to
Syrna had no hostile significance. 1t is
understood that negotiations between
Mr.. Griscom, our charge at Constanti-
nople, and the Porte for the settlement
of the missionary claims and questions
as to DR.. Norton's exequateur as con-
sui at Harpoot,sare progressing with in
dications that q compromise viii be ar

WAR SPOKEN OF.
New York, Nov. 2S.-Cable advices
say that the Vienna Tageblatt publish
es a dispatch from Constantinople to
the effect that the Turkish council of
ministers held a conference to deter
mine whether the sending of the U. S.
Kentucky to Smyrna should
be regarded as an act of hostility. Ac-
cording to the Tageblatt's dispatch
some ministers urged the severance Of
diplomatic relations with the United
States, and even went SO far as to
war unless the Kentucky
should be withdrawn from Turkish wa
ters. The ministers express the belief
that the European powers would not
permit the United States to attack Tur-
key and that country, therefore, would
be safe in taking a defiant attitude.
THE KENTUCKY AT SMYRNA.

Kentucky arrived at Smyrna this morn

THE SITUATION
in CHINA.
The Ministers at Pekin Have Agreed
on Propositions to be Sub
mitted.
GERMANS ARE HlGA-HANDED
They Oonfscated Chinese Vesse!-Amer-
ican Consuls are Negotiating With
Several Leading Viceroys for In
IDENTITIES for American Losses.

Paris, Nov. 2S.-It is said on high au-
thorty that Germany assented without
modification, to the joint note prepared
by the ministers of powers at Pekin,
and France also concurred. The Off
cals at the foreign Office deny the
statement from Pekin that France sez-
ed territory at Tien Tsin for the
purpose of tripling the size of her con-
cession
GERMANS CONFISCATE A SHIP.
New York, Nov. est is reported
here from Pekin that the Germans
boarded Chinese vessel and demanded
the treasure cansigned to an English
company at Tien Tsin. AS the boxes
of treasure had been landed the
Germans could not get them. Then
they hoisted the German flag on the
vessel and confiscated her cargo.
MODERATION is COUNSELED.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 28.-It devel-
oped today that the chief point in the
exchanges concerning China relates to
the wisdom of delivering the ultima
tum" to China using the express word
"ultimatum" in the text to be handed
the Chinese ENJOYS, involving the possi-
bilty of resulting declaration of war
against China in case the demands of
the utimatum be not complied with
About one week ago Japan took the in
itiative in an appeal for moderation.
This received favorable consideration
from the United States, France, Rus
sia and probably Great Britain. The
unanimity of sentiment among these
powers gives ground for the belief that
the demands of the ministers will be
modified by the omission of the word
ultimatum.
AGREEMENT TO BE FORWARDED.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 2S.-The
state department cabled Minister Con-
ger to forward the text of the agree
ment reached by the foreign ministers
at Pekin. Meanwhile, he will withhold
his signature until the president has an
opportunity to satisfy himself as to this
important document and make such
changes as to bring it in accord with
our policy.
NEGOTIATIONS BY CONSULS.
1t is learned at the state department
that while the negotiations are drag
ging at Pekin, some American consuls
are addressing themselves directly to
the viceroys Of the great provinces
where American property interests
have suffered, to secure indemnity and
reparation, and in most cases, they are
succeeding very we'll.
THE POWERS UNITED.
Paris, Nov. 28.-A dispatch from Pek-
in to the Hovas agency says that the
ministers of the following powers de-
clare they are authorized to sign joint
agreement to be presented to China:
Germany, United States, Great Britain,
Austro Hungary, Belgium, and italy.

KRUGER STILL HAS HOPE.
Some Talk About Intervention or Media
tion in Behalf of the Transvaal.

Paris, Nov. 28.-The conversation
that President Kruger had with
the French minister of foreign affairs,
M. Delcasse yesterday, was confined to
the former sounding the latter as to the
probable attitude Of France in certain
eventualities. Kruger did not press for
definite statement and the CONVERSE
tion lacked preciseness. Delcasse let it
be understood that France had not
changed her attitude since he explained
the governments position in the cham
ber Of deputies last March. France will
not take the initiative in intervention
in South Africa, but will not discourage
any other country from 80 doing. On
the contrary, she will join in such ini-
tiative taken under such conditions as
appear to merit acquiescence. Kruger
did not intimate what he intended to do
but 1t Is believed he will take an official
diplomatic step at the Hague. 1t is not
known whether he will ask Holland to
propose mediation or to open other less
clearly defined negotiations.
WILL NOT COME TO AMERICA.
New York, Nov. 28.-Michael Davitt
cables from Paris to the Evening Jour-
nal that Mr.. Kruger replying TO the
question If he had any intention of
making his future home in the United
States, said: II never contemplated
going to America to live, although re-
ceived several pressing invitations to
do so. am seriously considering, how
ever, a short visit to the United States" !"
Davttt adds that 1t is almost certain
Kruger will not visit America, and the
entire cabinet Of the South African re-
public opposes the idea, and the unani-
nous opinion being that the Mckinley
administration will do nothing what
ever for the Boer cause.
ROBERTS WANTS MORE TROOPS.
London, Nov. 2S-The constant dis
patch to South Africa of reinforcing
drafts and the daily fights at points
wide apart show that the war is not
over. Lord Roberts asked that 5000
men be sent to replace battalion
whose wastage incapacitates them from
duty at the front. These reliefs will be
dispatched; but they will seriously at
tenuate the garrisons OF the United
Kingdom.

lation contemplating independence for

ak ceased to be welded without cause
and solely for partisan purposes. This
marked a commendable era in genu-
inc civil service reform.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, finding his office upon bust
ness basis, began his work with the
purpose of extending existing postal
facilities upon lines already laid down;
and by bringing to the postal service
some new and practical ideas of his
own.
In supervising the work of this inn
portant Office he is obliged to direct
the salaries and allowances of post
masters, their assistants and clerks,
and all expenditures for rent, fuel,
lights and incidentals. This alone,
covering almost 10000 post offices, in
GLIDING the presidential offices, is suf-
6cient to demand great deal of time
and consideration. But he has also
to supervise the free delivery division,
covering all letter carriers and their
work; the purchase of supplies for all
post Offices, including stationery.
blanks, books, wrapping paper, Irvine,
letter balances and everything the
post Offices are entitled to receive;
also the money order division, which

chine; and, lastly, the dead letter Of

give their time to carry out necessary
preliminary arrangements. Before &C.
tual mobilization takes place, the cabi-
net has, Of course, arrived at a da-
nation must be placed on war foot
ing. The cabinet has also decided
whether the circumstances are such
as to demand the calling out of the
whole or only part of the reserves.
The queen in council then, by procla-
nation, orders the reserve out for per.
manent service. The general and
other officers concerned then arrange
for the proclamation to be posted in
all public places. A railway and pas
sage warrant is at the same time sent
to each reservist, with notice to join;
and he is either, if pronounced phys
ically fit, drafted to his battalion to
complete it to war strength, or re-
mains at the depot for further dis
posal. For the purpose of facilitat.
ing the organization of reserve corps,
the United Kingdom is divided into
military district commands, as shown
in the accompanying map, the reserv-
lists reporting for duty at the nearest
district command.
Since the beginning of the South
African war two calls for reserves have
been issued, and it is probable that be-
fore long the entire force will have
to be put under arms. This is tore-
shadowed by the action of the COM
missariat department, which is com.
plotting arrangements for supplies for
10000 troops and transport helpers,
and for 81, 900 horses and mules. for a
period of four months. The supplies
ordered for the time mentioned in
clude 12,OOo.0o0 pounds of preserved
meat, the same quantity of biscuit,

Especial Washington letter.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry S. Heath was for about fifteen
years the Washington correspondent
of some of the best daily newspapers
in this country. He was successful
newsgatherer, a hard worker, and al
ways genial gentleman. Every news
paper man in the national capital was
his friend, and to-day they can
not write of his work in public Of
flee without using words of COM
mendation because of their high
esteem. However, his work in high
Office well warrants fair degree of
praise, for it has been painstaking
and faithful if not brilliant.
The Office of the first assistant post
master general is wholly devoted to
business affairs, and is practically re-
lieved of all political complications.
This condition was brought about by
Postmaster General Wanamaker, with
the cooperation of the congress, in
1890. Postmaster General Wanamaker
is business man, and while he &C.
cupied a position in the cabinet he en-
deavored, with some degree of sue
cess, to apply business methods of adj
ministration to the post Office depart
ment.
For many years before the begin
ming of the Harrison administration
there had always been three assist
ant postmasters general, and the first
assistant postmaster general had
charge of the appointments of all
fourth class pastmasters, the number
being upwards of $4,000. This num-
Der has now increased to upwards of
$4,000. Excessive partisan use of the
office was first made in 1855 and 1886
by First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Stevenson, who removed all re-
publican fourth class postmasters as
rapidly as possible, sometimes reach
ing the number of 200 per day. He
was followed by First Assistant Post
master General GARRISON, who outdid
the record of Stevenson, for he some
times removed as many as $50 demo-
cratic postmasters in single day.
To make clean partisan record these
democratic and republican first assist
ant postmasters general were obliged
to work thus diligently, in order to
make changes in all of the fourth
class postmasterships during their
terms of four years each; and they
worked their clerical force sometimes
by night as well as by day SO as to
accomplish the object.
Postmaster General Wanamaker in
duced the congress to authorize an
additional assistant, designated as
fourth assistant postmaster general,
and he was charged with the duty of
appointing all fourth class postmas-
tiers. By this arrangement the first
assistant postmaster generals Office
was relieved of the political drudgery,
and was placed upon a business basis.
During the second Cleveland admins
tration, however, the rule was adopt
ed that fourth class postmasters shall
