NO RUSH IN UNITED STATES
VIII Take Things Calmly in Getting Payment
from Turkey
No Minister 10 be sent TIL Claim IL
Paid Concessions Already Made
by the sultan,

New York. May Ia special to the
Herald from Washington SAYS
Naval coercion Of Turkey 20 obtain
a settlement OF the American mission
airy claims Is not contemplated by the
administration. This statement is
made upon high authority. Drastic
measures against Turkey have been
urged by former Minister Angel. by
politicians on behalf Of missionaries
and by ministers Of the gospel. but the
President and Secretary Hey have not
considered their suggestions.
The administration Is well satisfied
with the concessions made by the sub
lime porte. and while Il Is anxious that
the sultan shall keep his promise 20 pay
the claims, u Feels that he has already
been considerate Of this government IN
permitting the reconstruction Of the
American mission in HarpO0t. and In
the extension OF Roberts College IN
COnstantinuple. Ii is au~thOritatively
stated that the latest note presented TO
the porte by Mr.. Griscom, the Ameri-
can charge d'afairs. is not an ulti-
matum, but is merely a repetition Of
the demand Tor a settlement.
There is no disposition I'm the state
department 10 uuduly hasten the
porte's answer. While an cvasiye re-
ply is expected, an official said today
that the government would calmly
await the outcome, believing that IL
would be satisfactory 10 Turkey as well
as the United States, This official
said the President contemplated as a
remote possibility the severance OF dip
lomatic relations. and this possibility
had almost entirely disappeared as q
result OF the concessions the sultan has
already made.
IL is likely. from an that can be-
learned, that the extent Of the express
sion Of dlspleasure by this government
at the continued failure OF the porte
20 pay the claims will be the mainten-
ance OF a charge d'anairs in Constan-
tinople. Minister Straus Is not eX-
pected 20 return, and until the claims
are settled Il is not proposed that any
minister shall be sent 10 Turkey.
The conclusion OF the administration
not to adopt the suggestions that this
government make a naval demonstra-
ton In Turkish waters Is undoubtedly
due % the knowledge that Europe
would resent the entrance OF the Unit
ed states into the Turkish question.

Tie south.

What the Southern Agricultural Commis-
sioners said at their meeting In New orl'eHS
last week will be read by the cOu'If'y AZ
large with wonder, with qualification, and
with pride. II may be- summed up Ia a SEN
tence taken from the address OF the presl-
dent OF the Association, Mr.. o. b. STEVENS.
COMMISSIONS Of Agriculture in Georgia:
81 think there is no doubt that tho South Is
more prosperous to-day than at any tim"
within the last thirty years
Nj STEVENS spoke with moderation. tn"
South is to-day materially and spiritually
strong as it never was before In Its lie.
Manufactures completes with agriculture in
taxing Southern energy, and even aRricuI-
ture, once the South's sole means OF suoslst-
encc, Is o so varied and expanded beyond
its former narrow limits that Southern pros
perity is on a foundation o: stability which
years ago had no existence. The condition
OF bankruptcy and Generalization into
which Mr.. STEVENS describes the southern
farrrrrs as drifting years ago, due not TO
sterility Of soil or unfavurable climate or
lack OF labor, but to the habitual persistence
in planting cotton only, has gone, never to
return.
We feol sure that some OF the haters OF
trusts in Georgia will bear with Mr.. STE
VEINS when he warns his ncighbors that an
5000, OOO-bale cotton crop nj . cents a
pound will be better than q 5000, OO0-bale
crop at 7 cents a pound, such as is ascribed
TO the cotton year Of lS99-i00o. There
fore Mr.. STEVENS advises the sowing OF
less cotton lands and the planting OF more
garden truck, Mules, ploughs. corn, forage
AM meat have risen in price. Why should
not the southern farmers provide for a rise
in the price Of cotton
The signs OF Southern progress are con-
slant. Before long it will be so great rs to
put that part 81 the country on a par with
all the rest in material prosperity, and
smash for all time the solid South" OF
politics.

sition the Attorney General. as respondent in
the suit, ASKS that the case be referred 10 q
commission that Admiral Dewey. his officers
and crews. and also the United. States. may
have cave TO take testimony before such an
offcer and TO argue the merits Of the case.
On noting that war existed and that Dewey's
feet did engage the Spanish forces on May /.
1898. the Attorney General AYERS that the
cruisers claimed as pr zes were sunk. or the
other property specified In Admiral Dewey,'s
