THE DESTRUCTION OF AMER1-
CAN COLLEGE AND OTHER
BUILDINGS.
Washington, April 1S.-There Is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Turkey are in a critical state,
growing out Of the sultan's bad faith.
He promised to pay the indemnity
claims of the American missionaries
for the destruction of eight buildings
of the Euphrates college at Harpoot
and several buildings belonging to the
American missionaries at Marash dur
ing the Armenian massacres of 1895.
Mr., Straus, the United States minister
to Turkey, is at present here on leave
of absence. AS has already been an
nounced, he presented his resignation,
but the president, regarding the SER
vices Of Mr.. Straus as indispensable,
indefinitely extended his leave, subject
to the call Of the secretary Of state,
whenever circumstances may necessi-
tate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhaust
ed itself at Constantinople, the sultan
having promised to pay the indemni-
ty claims, amounting to some 800, 900,
which promise was again renewed
prior to Mr.. Straus' departure, and al
though 16 months have elapsed since
the promise was first made, that prom
ise still remains unfulflled What ac-
ton the government will now take to
enforce the sultan's promise is not def
initely known, but as the situation Is
critical it may result in Secretary Hay
sending the Turkish minister at Wash
ington his passports.
The question involved between the
two countries is no longer one resting
upon disputed points OF international
law, but upon the sultan's broken
faith. This is not his only promise, he
having stated to our minister that he
would give his permit for the recon
struction Of the American college and
school buildings, yet up to the present
the official permit. upon one excuse
and another, has been withheld.
When DR., Angel resigned in 1898
the relations between the two countries
were critical by reason of the inaction
Of the Turkish government and its re-
fusal to entertain the indemnity claims
Mr.. Straus, by reason of his successful
previous mission and his past expert
ence, was sumomned by the president
to take up the mission. as best qualified
to adjust the pending questions in a
manner satisfactory to both countries
Shortly after his arrival at Constanti-
nople in September, 1898. several mat
ters yielded to negotiation. He then
addressed himself to the main ques-
tions. the compensation for missionary
buildings destroyed and for property
looted. and the permit for their re-
building. The Turkish government
shortly before the departure of DR.
Angel sent reply denying all liabil-
fly for the buildings and property de.
stroyed. A similar reply was sent tc
the ambassadors of England. Franc,
and Italy, having like claims.
Mr.. Straus took up the question
anew, basing his argument upon the
we'll recognized principles of interna.
tional law, with the result that at ar
audience with the sultan on Dec. s
1898. the sultan promised to pay the
claims. He also stated that he haC
given permission for the reconstruction
OF the destroyed buildings Neither Of
these promises has been kept.

OF FREEDOM.
Washington, april Iy.-ror more
than three hours yesterday Mr.. Hoar,
the senior senator from Massachusetts,,
occupied the attention of the senate
with a speech In opposition to the pol
icy of imperialism" upon which, he
maintained, this government has en-
barked. The speech was brilliantly
written, was illuminated with splendid
rhetorical figures and was rich with
citations from history. One of the nc'a-
BILE parts of the address was the eulogy
Of Aguinaldo. Mr.. Hoar did not likon
the insurgent leader to Washington, as
has been done heretofore, but to Kos
suth Dom Paul, Jouberf Nathan Hale
and other builders of the church of lib
erty. In statecraft he likened Aguinal-
do and his associates to the best minds
ever produced in the Asiatic race.
One of the most effective parts of the
address was his fancied roll call OF
some Of the distinguished statesmen OF
the United States on the question OF
the retention of the Philippines. He
began with Washington and closed with
Mckinley, each giving the reason for
his vote Every vote was in the mega
tive except that of Aaron Burr, who
voted Eyes" and explained: "You are
repeating my buccaneering expedition
down the Mississippi. l am to be vim
dicated at last"
When the name of William Mckin'
ley was called he replied: There has
been a cloud before my vision for
moment, but | see clearly now. l &c
back to what l said two years ago
'Forcible annexation is criminal aggres
sion; governments derive their jus
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.' I will stand with the fathers o
the republic. I will stand with the Re
PUBLICAN party. No"
The effect was dramatic. Applaus
swept over the galleries. but it wa
quickly hushed by the president pr

OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
Industries Not In Danger of Stoppnge
of Work or Material Decline
in Prices.

New York, Feb. 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: 1.-The indus
tries are still surprising in actual output
the work of any previous year. Their new
business Is not co~rrespondingly large, nor
could such orders be accepted by most in
dustries IL offered, but enough are coming
to prevent stoppage of works or much de-
cline in prices. In wooden goods new bust
mess Of remarkable volume sustains a
marked advance in prices and in other lines
of Importance as in machinery orders indi-
cate a surprising foreign demand. Mean
while, though encouraged by the abund-
ance and ease of money, speculation does
not in any direction as yet go without a
check far enough TO do mischief. There is
much of the speculative spirit abroad, but
also more caution than is usually shown
after a year of exceptional prosperity. Per-
haps the war in Africa, with its possibilities
of daily surprise, is in that respect produc-
tive of good.
THE weekly output of pig iron February
first was 29S,0l4 tons, but stocks unsold
rose q, $3.50 tons in January, indicating a
consumption slightly smaller than the out
put when the month began. AS the con-
Stunning works were naturally stopped
about the holidays more than the furnaces.
the figures prove little, but bessemer and
grey forge at Pittsburgh have not changed
in price during the past week, and slightly
lower offers of pig by southern and other
new furnaces at Chicago and eastern mar
kets have had little effect. 1t is more sig
nifcant that the decline of prices for some
weeks in bars. plates and sheets has been
checked. Large orders have been taken
for these and other products, indicating
that the works in need of business may
have obtained enough for a time.
Failures for the week were 25 in the
United States, against 21T last year, and SO
in Canada, against IS last year"
