Turkey Will Pay.

New York, Feb. 21.-Oscar G. Strauss,
United States minister to Turkey after
comforting with state department Off
cials on Monday in Washington, returned
to New York and is now enjoying the be-
ginning of his three months leave of alb
sence. He said last night that he had
no intention Of resigning his office, al
though there had been rumors to the
effect that he had become somewhat
tired Of the duties.
Asked what progress the Turkish gov
ernment had made with reference to in
Identifying the American owners OF
property destroyed during the Armenian
troubles he said:
Until my arrival there Turkey had
denied liability for those property dam
ages, but since then the government $
liability has been admitted and the sui
tan has not only promised to pay, but
he has twice repeated that promise. That
he will have to pay the claims within a
reasonably short time there is no ques-
ton, and credit him with the intention
of fulfilling his promise. The sum in
volved is less than 100000"
did the Spanish war and the victory
of Dewey at Manila make us any better
known in Turkey?" Mr.. Strauss was
asked.
"They certainly did do just that thing,
and the Oriental world has a far better
appreciation of the power of this coun-
try than it had before"

Canal Bill Will Pass.

New York. Feb. 21.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: It is
possible that the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill may be passed by the house of
representatives and 1t may even become
law before the senate acts on the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty. Representative Hep
burn is determined to press the bill at
every opportunity.
1t is expected that the committee on
rules will report Mr.. Hepburn's resolu-
tion favorably. though some change NAV
be made in the date he has fixed for the
consideration Of the bill. Mr. Hepburn
and many of the advocates of the canal
bill in both houses of congress are in
favor Of passing the pending bill con-
tanning the authorization OF the fcrtif,-
cation OF the canal without regard to the
action OF the senate on the pending
treaty. -
In speaking OF this subject Mr. Hen
burn said it would make no mat srial
difference whether the treaty was rati-
fed or not. If it should be agreed tn hv
the senate, and it should be data-,s.nal
that the president had no power under
the treaty to fortify the canal he need
not act under taes authority given sf1;n,
to Greet fort.featiens.. He sl1ue,;;t; tt
would be well for congress- tn .,iyss tfa

possibly want.

Gen. Cronje'S Forces.

Pretoria, Monday, Feb ia portion of
an official report from Cronje dated Sum
day has been given out as follows:
Yesterday morning about o'clock
while removing the laager near Scholtz
Mex we were attacked by the British. The
fight lasted until 1880 in the evening. AL
though on the whole the British were
driven back, they each time resumed the
attack. The loss to the British must have
been considerable. Thus far the Boer loss
has been eight killed and twelve wounded.
This morning the British shelled US with
cannon. Chief Commandant Ferrer-
eira's force was too small to stop the cav
airy from entering Kimberley"

Opposes Any FortificationS

New York, Feb. 21.-Regarding the

President Steyn Of the Orange Free
State is large mana very large
man, He is 6 feet inches tall. and
his frame is in due proportion to his
height There is not an ounce of SUI
perfluous flesh on his bones. and his
burghers frequently assert that he is
the strongest man in the country. His
weight is somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of 200 pounds His very move
ment seems to tell OF the frankness
of his disposition, and a glance at his
countenance is sufficient confirmation
OF the burgher tales of his answering
honesty. There are few statesmen,
few politicians, who have not at some
time in their career been compelled to
resort TO a subterfuge or to tell a lie
in order TO gain some point, or a vote;
but it is said of President Steyn that
he has never lied in the whole course
of his life and never resorted to a
subterfuge to gain vote. President
Steyn possesses frank, open counten-
ance. His eyes are large and quite far
apart his nose is the large nose that
is common to so many great men, his
forehead is high and indicates the in
telligence Of the man. His face is
