No Reply erom Turkey to the Note Of the
80 Amsrican Chsrua si,A n,iras

No Reply Nrom Turkey to the Note Of tho
American Charge d'AnkAirea.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Saturday, April
2S.-The porte has not yet replied to the
note handed to Tewfk Pasha, the Turk
ish foreign minister, by the United
States charge d'affaires, Mr.. Lloyd
Griscom, regarding the indemnity claim
and the situation is unchanged. It is
believed in some quarters that a settle-
ment will yet be made by means of some
arrangement with private American
contractors, concealing the actual pay
ment and relieving the Ottoman gov
ernment from admitting responsibility
for the losses occasioned at the time Of
the massacre.
1t is not considered here that a simple
rupture Of diplomatic relations will
render the porte easier to deal with; but
rupture of formal relations is not
thought necessary, as the sending of q
warship to Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain settlement Of the mat
ter in less than "a hours.
The same proposition for settlement
Of the indemnity question by an order
for warship in the price of which the
indemnity should be included was for
merly made to France and Italy, but M.
Constans and Signor Panza rejected the
proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation at
the Ystdiz Kiosk.

Fierce Fires Rage Along E,e Line Of the
Wisconsin and Michigan Railroad.
MAR1NETTE, Wis, May Forest
fires ragged furiously north of Fisher,
Mich, along the right of way
of the Wisconsin and Michigan railway,
Saturday and Sunday. The property
damage will be large. The station
water tank and other property Of the
railroad company and large cedar
yard belonging to the. @. H. Worcester
company at Ames, Mich, were de.
stroyed by fire. The town was practi.
cally wiped out, entailing loss of about
$4,000 or more.
Considerable cedar stock at Nathan,
Mich, was also destroyed. The Wis

cial train up the line Sunday to rescue
the fire-stricken people in the small vii
lagos along the road. All the inhabit-
ants of the towns Of Ames and Nathan
were taken to Pembine for safety.
1t is said the Wisconsin and Michigan
passenger which left here Sunday night
was unable to get further north than
Fisher, Mich. At the latter place only
a heroic resistance saved the town.
Forest fires are burning everywhere
north of here and further damage will
result unless there is rain. The coun.
try is very dry and the fires spread
rapidly.
Fires are said to be burning along the
right Of way Of the Milwaukee road

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
EXPLOSION IN A COAL MINE AT
scoFIELD, UTAH.

A Hundred and Thirty-seven Bodies Have
Been Recovered and the Work of Rescue
Caused by Blowing Up of Several Kegs
Of Blasting Powder.
SALT LAKE, May IA special to The
Tribune from Scofield, Utah, says: The
English language cannot describe the
appalling disaster which occurred here
at 1926 a. IN. by an explosion in mine
No. 4 of the Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany and by which certainly 200 men
and upwards have lost their lives. At
this hour 1S5 bodies have been recov.
cred and the work Of rescue is still pro-
oeeding and will continue until all the
bodies are brought to the surface.
There are willing hands at work and as
fast as bodies are reached they are
brought down to the boardinghouses
and other company buildings, where
they are dressed and prepared for the
coroner's inquest. These buildings are
numerous and in each are from 10 to So
bodies.
The removal of bodies began at 10
O'Clock and every diligence is used to
get the charred and mangled remains
from out the mine. Many hundreds of
men have freely volunteered their
services, aud as fast as one set or force
is tired or worn out others take their
places. While the stencil of smoke and
powder is sickening, resembling much
that Of dissecting room, there are
brave hearted and brawny men of
muscle who have been continuously at
work since the moment of the explosion.
AS soon as the accident was known
officials of the coal company at Salt
Lake City and also the railroad COM
pany were notified of the disaster, and
though the number of dead was re-
ported lower than it really is, it would
appear that everything by them that
lies in their power has been done.
The cause Of the explosion is attrib-
uted to the blowing up of number of
kegs of blasting powder.

Chinese Fond OF sauerkraut.

With the advent Of SO many Chinese
restaurants In different parts of the

"chop suey" and other well known Chi

Americans than by Cinnamon. A Har-

Mott street for a social time was on a
Third avenue "L" car and got into
conversation with a neighbor.
II suppose you like chop suey, eh,
John?" asked the casual acquaintance.
"No," was the others answer, with
q positive shake of the head. "Me no
likee chop suey. Me eat spareribs and
sauerkraut."
And In further conversation it was
revealed that this Chinaman, like many
of his fellow countrymen In New York,
who had, like himself, been here IA
years or so, hardly tasted traditional
Chinese dishes. One Of the first direc-
tions In which Chinaman becomes
Americanized is in his liking for Amer.
