Complication with Turkey

Constantinople, Turkey, Nov. %
The Porte has rejected the request
for an exequatur for the United
States consul at Harpoot. This is
regarded by the United States lega-
ton as a direct violation of treaty
rights. Consequently DIR. Thomas
H. Norton of Cincinnati, recently ap-
pointed by the President to establish
a consulate at Harpoot, has been di-
rected to proceed to his post. The
expected visit of the battleship Ken
tucky to Smyrna possibly relates
quite as much to this matter as to
the question of indemnity.

Nothing From the Minister
In Pekin For More
Than a Week.
REACHED AN IMPASSE
Interesting Problem Suggested BY
the Probability of Deadlock
Among the ENJOYS at Pekin.
Likelihood of the Whole Undertake
ing Falling Through By REASON
OF Disagreement.

Washington, Nov. 93-The state az
partment SO far has heard nothing
from Mr.. Con-er respecting the '.in
passe" reported TO have been reached
by the foreign ministers at Pckin
In fact. save brief expression re
specting the inSufficiency of the pun
ishments proposed by the Chinese gov
ernment to be inflicted upon the re
sponsible leaders of the boxer move
ment, Mr. Conger has not communi-
Gated with the department for more
than q week
Without taking issue with Mr.. Con
ger respecting this matter of punish
ments, the state department has earn
estly advised him not TO insist upon
impossible conditions in the negotia-
lions.
An interesting problem is suggested
by the possibility. which is almost a
probability, that the ministers repre-
senting the powers at Pekin can not
reach an agreement. If Russia France
and the United States should refuse to
accept the German idea. as seconded
by the British representative very
much would depend upon Japan, and
even some of the lesser powers repre-
sented at rekin by ministers might
have great power in swaying the pro
ceedingS of the council. The imDreS
sion seems TO be that if ma iority Of
the ministers. or perhaps even one Of
the representatives of a great power
withholdS assent to the agrcemcn-
then the whole undertaking falls an
there must he either fresh negotiation
directly between the home govern
ments in the efforts TO agree upon new
bases OF action. or the powers mus
proceed TO deal with the Chinese situ
alton singly. or in groups. the latter
contingency having been provided for
in the German British agreement.
