dress the morning session of the mass
convention Of Missouri Middle-of-the

tion among the adherents of Wharton

"Barker," declared Browne, in his
characteristic manner, ''is up against

for him is inevitable. The head of the
ticket should be the popular idol of the
people, Admiral George Dewey, with
Wharton Barker or Ignatius Donnelly
for vice PRESIDENT

speaker as he uttered these remarks
but Browne was permitted to continue
''With such ticket" declared he,

knocking out both the ticket dominated
by the money power and headed by

New YORK, April IA dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: The
vacuum created by the shrinkage of
war news is filed with dispatches far
afield and with political rumors and
gossip. The Times publishes the text
of a letter from Che ameer of Afghan
istan commenting upon British indiffer-
ence to Russian aggression, and con-
veying the significant hint to the M-
dian government that the present is the
time for deeds, not for talk. The thor
oughly entertained opinion in diplo-
matte circles is that Russia will not
take advantage of the British situation
in South Africa, but will wait until the
end of the war, or until the time comes
for the division Of Portuguese territory
in South Africa, between Germany and
England. Russia will then offset the
British and German gains in this terri
tory by ordering an advance on Herat
and by strengthening her grip upon

MIGHT FIGHT TURKEY.

Diplomatic Relations Between That Coun-
try and America Are Critical.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-There is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Turkey are in critical state, grow
ing out of the sultan's bad faith. He
promised to pay the indemnity claims
of the American missionaries for the
destruction of eight buildings belong
ing to the American missionaries at
Marash during the Armenian massacre
of 1896. MIR. Strauss, United States
minister to Turkey, is at present in the
United States on leave of absence. AS
has already been announced he pre-
sented his resignation, but the presi-
dent, regarding the services of Mr.
Strauss as indispensable, indefinitely
extended his leave, subject to the call of
the secretary Of state whenever circum-
stances may necessitate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhausted
itself at Constantinople, the sultan hav-
ing promised to pay the indemnity
claims, amounting to some 100000,
which promise was again renewed prior
to Mr.. Strauss departure, and, al
though 16 months have elapsed since
the promise was first made, that
Promise Remains UnfulRlled.;
What action the government will now
take to enforce the sultan's promise is
not definitely known, but as the situ-
alton is critical it may result in Secre-
tary Hay sending the Turkish minister
at Washington his passports. 70
The situation if practically this: - Our
minister has succeeded in, obtaining
Judgment by confession upon the claims
which confession was made by the sui
tan himself, but the execution remains
unsatisfed. Diplomacy has exhausted
itself, and Mr.. Strauss has. under the
guidance of Secretary Hay, done every
thing diplomacy can accomplish to bring
the sultan's attention to the seriousness
of the situation. Our minister as we'll
as our government hoped that the sui
tan's promises, though delayed, would
be fulfilled.
During the continuation of Minister
Strauss leave of absence the legation
is in charge of Captain Lloyd G. Girls
com, secretary Of legation, who is fully
conversant with the business. =;

PRESS JOINS IN
London Newspapers Add Their
Structures to Those Of Lord s
Roberts, :.~
In Speaking of Recent Unfortun-
ate Occurrences in South
Africa.
>.,
The Discredited Generals Will
Undoubtedly Ask to Be
Recalled. .. ,,..

LONDON, April 19.-1:55 p. m.-Lord
Roberts criticisms of General Butler,
General Warren and Colonel Thorny-
croft continue topics of acute interest.
All the afternoon papers comment at
length OH the structures of the British
commander chief in South Africa,
taking the same lines as the morning
papers, praising Lord Roberts for his
frankness and speculating upon what
the publication of the dispatch at the
present moment portends.
Some of them maintain there is moth
ing left for General Butler but to re-
sign. The St. James Gazette is partic-
nlarly scathing. Referring to General
Buffers report, it says:
Never in the history of armies did it
happen that generals scribbled their
confessions Of failure and defeat, of
useless deaths Of men and of discredit
to the flag in a manner which suggests
a careful selection from the forced joc-
ularity of Funnyman, the slangy chat
ter Of the horsey woman and gable of
the smoking room late in the evening.
The Globe declares that "a more pitt
able record Of indecision in plan and
confusion in execution we have seldom
read" and adds that what little reputa-
tion General Butler has left has been
scattered to the winds.
Practically no developments have
been reported so far in the days South
African cables. A dispatch from War
renton, dated Tuesday, April II, says:
Finding the Beers busy making new
trenches, we exploded lyddite shells,
following up these with the Maxims.
The enemy's ambulance was afterwards
observed on the spot
From Wepener there is nothing later
than Lord Roberts message Of Tuesday,
and presumably neither side has gained
any particular advantage at any point
in the theatre of war since the last Of
ticlal dispatches were received.
It is persistently stated in military
circles that Lieutenant General Sir
Charles Warren, the commander of the
Fifth division of the South Africa field
force, has been ordered to return home.
