CONGRESSIONAL TOPICS
Turkey Showing Disposition to Grant Our De-
mands Agricultural Bill.

Washington, April 24.-It can be
stated on authority that the negotia-
ions respecting the American mission
airy claims Are progressing in the most
satisfactory manner. in the view of
this government. The department has
received from Mr.. Griscom, the United
States charge. q cablegram announc-
ing that the Porte has undertaken t.
meet all Of the engagements made
with the United States minister re
spccting the payment of the claims set
M on account of the destruction OF
American mission property in Turkey.
1t is not stated when the payments
will be made and it is surmised that
owing to the many obligations of
greater magnitude pressing upon the
Porte. some time may elapSc before
the money is actually in hand.
The charge also confirmed the press
reports as to, the publication by the
Porte of an trade authorizing the re
building of the destroyed missions at
Harpoot and Harsan. and the con-
struction of an annex to the Roberts
college. the great American theological
school in Constantinoplc. This action
of the Turkish authorities is regarded
as of importance far exceeding the
mere payment Of 500, 900 on account Of
property destroyed by mob. It
amounts to q recognition of the right
Of our missionaries 70 build their

Beers is to take refuge in the noun
famous region to the north. which is
practically inaccessible, rather than to
defend Pretoria ut the risk of heavy
loss Of life and the exposure Of the
population to the fire Of the British.
Even when Great Britain declares the
Transvaal annexed the Beers will never
yield; and an army Of 10000 Will b.

the season was now approaching when
horse sickness ceased and that the
British would therefore not suffer
much longer on this account.

very great loss to the Beers. Louis

When his opinion of the British gen

errors they have committed are enor-
nous and incomprehcnsible."

CLERK OF COURTS REPLIES TC
CAPTAIN DALTON'S STATE
MENr .--l.,ts,

The statement of Captain A ]. Dali
ton in yesterdays Virginian-Pllot on
the question of furnishing the names of
dead persons to the Registrars. to be
stricken off the reglstra ton books, has
called forth another statement from Mr..
l.. Register, Clerk of the Courts, with
whom Captain Dalton took issue in the
discussion of the question.
When Captain Dalton came out in n
communication. stating that 1t waS
Clerk Registers duty to furnish the
registrars with the list of the persons
who had died since the last reglstra-
ton. MIR. Register replied that the law
referred to by Captain Dalton was in
operative because of the repeal two
years ago of the law requiring the Com
missioner of Revenue to place the said
list in the hands of the Clerk to be put
on file in his office; that the Clerk had
had no other means of officially pro-
viding this list 5ince the repeal Of this
law.
In reply to Captain Dalton's state
ment in yesterdays Virginian- Pilot MIR.
Royster said the following to q reporter
yesterday:
II want my position in this matter to
be fully understood. 1 am one of those
who favor purging the registration
books and will do all in my power to
have them purged. AS to furnishing a
list of dead persons to the registrars.
I Will shortly give to each of the eleven
registrars in the city an attestcd copy

Of Virginia. by an act to be found in

required the Commissioner of Revenue
to furnish to the Clerk of the Courts
the said list OF dead. Now, since the
repeal of this section the Commits
sioner of Revenue has not, of course
furnished me with the said list. AND
