Modest Choice Which an American
Made of q Sword.
Somebody was telling just the other
day, Of wonderful eastern relic, which
is In the possession of an ex-minister to
Siam, says the Washington Post. 1t
was when the ex-minister was a full
fiedged representative of the majesty
of free people that he was invited out
of his legation to visit prince, or sub
king, or some other provincial ruler
under the dominion of the king of 81
am. He was right royalty entertained,
and when the time for his departure
drew near his host desired to load him
down with costly presents.
The American minister refused, again
and again, to take tie valuable gifts
pressed upon him, but at last. seeing
that to so away empty handed would
be mOrtally to insult his princely host,
he decided to take the smallest and
least valuable Of all the things shown
him. He looked about the treasure room
and saw hanging on one wall perfectly
plain old sword. Its scabbard was not
jewelled, and its hilt was quite plain.
Surely he might take so small gift as
that. He signified his desire to possess
the weapon. and it was given him.
When he went back to the capital his
majesty expressed a royal curiosity to
know what the prince had given him.
The sword was shown him. His ma
jesty fairly bubbled with excitement.
That sword! Why. he had been trying
for years and years to get possession OF
it. He had offered the prince its weight
and double its weight in gold and pre-
cious stones, but the prince had always
refused to part with it. 1t was his
toric sword, a sacred sword, and scarce
" less precious to the prince than his
crown itself. 1t was hundreds Of years
old and the king would have given his
eye teeth for it.
The American had asked for some
thing vastly more precious than any OF
the gorgeous jewels he had refused to
accept. and Oriental politeness had
granted his request. He had brought
away with him something that all the
power of the mighty monarch himself
had not been able to obtain.

paIgn this year is the scandaious dealings Of
a high cabinet officer with private banks Of

these banks that they should be favored by
this administration because of money CON

Presidency Of 1896. Correspondence submit

When a Missionary He Showed Him
self UnfriendIy to Turks.

New York, Nov. 26.-The CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Berliner
Tageblatt, says a Herald dispatch from
Berlin, states that the reason why the
porte refused an eXequatur to the new
ly appointed United States consul at
Harpoot is because when a missionary
he showed himself unfriendly to the
Turks and spread untrue stories about
massacres. The consul will, however,
in spite of the decision of the porte,
leave for Harpoot to take up his du'
ties.
AS the American battleship Ken
lucky is on her way to Smyrna it is ex'
tremely probable that the porte will
give way.
A Washington dispatch to the Her
aid says: Mr.. Griscom, the charge
d'affaires in Constantinople, will urge
the sublime porte to issue an exequa.
tel in order that DR.. Thomas H. Nor,
ton may enter upon his duties as con.
sui at Harpoot as promptly as possible.
Some surprise was expressed at the
departure Of the Kentucky for Smyrna
ahead of her schedule, it having been
stated that she would probably remain
at Naples until Monday. Officials de-
clare, however, that no new instruc-
tons were given Captain Chester; that
