that the American battleship Kentucky
will call at Smyrna on her way to the
far east and that there Will be. some
thing like a naval demonstration Tor the
rrrnose of influencing the Turk, are un-
founded and no menace of this KIND is
intended. 1t Is expected in official cir
clas at Constantinople that the Amer-
ana claim for indemnity for damages
tn mission stations in Armenia will be
settled by the Turkish government as
soon as a practical method is found for
discharging those liabilities without es-
t.,blishing a precedent for other coun-
tries. The Turkish government is anX-
ious to get rid of the American Claims
but it is bent upon doing it without
committing itself to the general principle
OF responsibility for the outrages which
occurred in Armenia and elsewhere. An
aadiustment of the American claims will
he brought about in the course of next
wear il seems, and no naval demonstra-
tion will be required for enforcing it.
News comes also from Constantinople
that an agent of the Cramps has been
attempting to negotiate contract for
the construction of Turkish warship in
an American shipyard, and that Mr.. Car
negie's firm has not failed in obtaining
a large contract for the projected road
from Syria to Medina and Mecca.

establishing provincial civil government

provincial justice of the peace, and in
that capacity Will control the constabu-

Electors in the province Of Benguet Will

Law CAN NOT
TOUCH VAN WYCk
HELD ICE STOCK, BUT GOVERNOR
HAS NOT THE POWER TO
REMOVE HIM.

Albany, Nov. Ex-Governor Roosevelt
tonight gave out his decision in the ap-
plication for the removal from office of
Mayor Van Wyck of New York City. He
declines to remove the mayor on the
ground that while he was undoubtedly
a stockholder in the American Ice Co.,
there has been no proof that he willfully
violated the law forbidding a public Of
f1cer to be a stockholder in corporation
having dealings with his municipality.
The governors memorandum says:
THE brief presented by Mr.. Hayes,
counsel to the World, undated, but re-
ceived in this Office No. 20, contain no
additinal testimony or indication where
additional testimony can be obtained.
The situation is therefore unchanged
from what 1t was on October 4, 1900,
when the attorney general wrote his let
ter to me.
There is therefore as stated, by the
attorney general in his letter of Nov. 23
little to add to what was contained in his
letter of October 4. concur in the at
torney generals opinion. My Judgment
is that the so-called Ice trust Is not a
corporation in which the mayor Of New
York, should have stock. But no proof
has been offered Of any wilful violation
would justify the drastic measures Of
removing him from Office. The power Of
removal from Office of elective officers
should be treated much as we treat the
power Of impeachment. 1t is an ex-
traordinary and not an ordinary
remedy.
'"The NJ rrnal remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to the people,
and only in wholly exceptional cases is
1t desirable to substitute for this appeal
to the people an appeal to the power of
| removal or the powers Of Impeachment.
This case is, therefore dismissed
In giving out his decision, the gov
ernor said:
Thee has not been an hours unnec-
essary delay on the part OF the state au-
thorities. Fifty-f1ve days elapsed from
June g. when the World first filed it's
charges in final form, and forty-two
days elapsed from August II, when these
charges were served upon the mayor un-
| til Sept. q. when the mayor filed his an
swer. The delay since then has been
| solely due to the fact that the World at
| that time discharged the counsel which
| 1t formerly employed and refused to go
on with the case, leaving 1t completely in
| the air for the time being.

Special to Inter Mountain.
Helan, Mont, Nov. 24.-Governor
Smith today pardoned three convicts
now serving time at Deer Lodge. They
are Thomas Saddler, J. A. Manning and
Everton j. Patch.
Saddler was sent up from Silver Bow
county June II ,1S9. for assault in first
degree. He shot Patrick O'Connor in a
Butte saloon during a drunken brawl.
A long petition was presented to the
governor in Saddler's behalf it being

thought entertained malice toward him.
and fired to protect himself, shooting at
random, and not at any particular per-
son. He is a man of good moral charac-
ter, and has never been accused of any
other offense against laws of the United
The case will be considered by the
board of pardons at it's meeting Satur-
day, December 15
Manning escaped from prison in Deer
Lodge in the summer of 1893, and was re-
captured and sentenced to 10 years more
for breaking Jail. Regarding the case,
tn governor says: Manning has served
all but a few days of his previous SEN
tence at the time OF his escape. His
partner who escaped with him has long
since been pardoned. The punishment he
has served under his present sentence
will have served, think, as a sufficient
lesson to him and warning to others
who might be tempted by favorable op-
portunity to commit a similar offense"
Manning wrote long letter in his own
behalf. saying that on the advice Of his
attorney. he refused to plead guilty
when arraigned, and thus secure the min
imum punishment, and consequently got
the limit. His companion pleaded guilty,
and was given but eighteen months.
Manning's pardon is due largely to the
efforts of his sister Miss Reckman, of
Butte, who has worked uncea stngly for
him. The prisoners real name is Oliver
Beckman. His parents are invalids, their
home being in Minnesota. There is let
ter to Governor Smith from Governor
Lind. of Minnesota, who testified to the
worth Of Manning's parents, and re-
quests that pardon he granted.
Patch, when but twenty years old,
forged draft for a small sum of money
in Deer Lodge, and was committed for
five years, on January %, $685. His term
will expire October %. 1901. He is an
orphan, his father having been a pioneer
school teacher. Letters requesting his
pardon are on file from Governor Elect
Toole and Former Governor Leslie. Con-
ley and MoTague also request the par
don.
The cases of Manning and Patch will
be taken up December II by the board
of pardons.

"The Turkish authorities look with
jealousy upon the appointment of con-
suls to interior points in the empire.
and especially when, as in the present
instance, the United States wishes to
send a consul to a point where 1t has not
had a consul before. The reason, per-
haps, why the Turkish authorities more
specifically object to the appointmene
of consul at Harpoot IS that it was at
Harpoot that the American missionary
property was destroyed during the Ar
menian troubles, on the loss Of which ouN
claims for indemnity are based.
America has no commerce al Harpoots

Helena, Nov. 24.-The company which

property at Helena has made plans for
the transmission of power to Butte from

however, was merely foretaste Of the

Washington, Nov. 24.-The annual re-
port of the board of ordnance and forti-
fications sums up conciSely large
amount of experimental work accom-
plished by the board during the past

needed in the future is contained in the
following paragraph:
1.-THE work of equipping our coast forti-
fications in progressing rapidly and a
large portion of the new armament is
already installed. There is imperative
need for an adequate force of trained
artillerists to care for and man the guns
now mounted. The board, therefore,
deems it within it's province to invite the
attention of congress to the necessity
of reorganization and material increase
of the artillery arm of the service.

ommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges and
other facilities for carrying out each
