leased the portion of this area opposite
their holdings, and have extended their
wharves out into II, but the two docks OF
the Seattle Wharf Company will be the
first to be constructed entirely in the har-
Dor area, construction made necessary
by the fact that the company does not
own the abutting tide lands.

THE NEGRO VOTE.
Chandler Wants to Increase Its Lee al
Safeguard.

WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator
Chandler today introduced bill''for the
prevention of the denial or the abridge-
ment of the right of citizens of the
United States to vote on account of
color" In presenting the bill, Mr..
Chandler said that he did so by re-
quest and was not yet prepared to
press it's consideration. He said,
however, that he had drawn up the
bill himself. 1t provides that amy re-
quirement Of any qualification for suf-
frage prescribed by any State in its
constitution or its law, which directly
or indirectly by express words, or by
any device or subterfuge Is made to
apply in it's terms or in it's operation
to the great body of colored citizens of
the State, while it Is not made to ap-
ply to the great body of white citi-
zens, is hereby declared to be uncon-
stitutional, null and imperative"
Other sections of the bill authorize
colored citizens to vote regardless of
race or Of State restrictions. Colored
citizens also are given the right of ac-
ton or damages against registration
boards refusing them the right to reg
lister.

OF war news is filled with dispatches far
atield and with political rumors and
gossip. The Times publishes the text
or letter from the Ameer of Afghan
istan commenting upon British indif-
ference to Russian aggression and con-
veying the significant hint to the In
dian government that the present IS the
time Tor deeds, not for talk. The thor
oughly entertained opinion in diploma
tic circles is that Russia will not take
advantage of the British situation in
South Africa, but will wait until the
end of the war or until the time comes
for the division of Portuguese territory
in South Africa between Germany and
England. Russia will then offset the
British and German gains in this ter
ritory by ordering an advance on Herat
and by strengthening her grip upon
Persia.
Berlin dispatches disclose the unwil-
lingness of the German Government to
receive the Boer peace delegates.
There is an interesting political ru-
NOR relating to a change in the liberal
leadership. IL is stated that Sir Henry
ampbell-Bannerman has decided to
withdraw in favor of Sir Edward Grey
and that secret arrangements have been
made for a liberal dinner on May I'd,
the day when Lord Roseberry will be
the chief speaker at the Australian Fed
Grafton luncheon and that there will
be a conference with all the leading
men of the party present except Sir
William Harcourt and John Morley. A
rumor that the invitations to this din
ner have been issued by Lord Rosebery,
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and
Sir Edward Grey, is not confirmed and
the Liberal leadership has not yet been
flung into the lottery politics. Sir Ed
ward Grey is a thorough-going radical
on domestic questions as well as a lib
eral imperialist of the Rosebery type.

The heights of the Bohemian middle

The invitation Is signed by the Mayor

Inside the casket we're twelve quart bot

ROW WITH
THE PORTE
America Sends it an
Ultimatum.
SMYRNA May Be SEIZED
But First Every Effort Will be Made
to Bring the Sultan to
Terms.

NEW YORK. April 1S.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The United States Charge d'Affaires
at Constantinople will be directed to
inform the Sultan that this Govern
ment must insist upon the payment
without further delay OF the 100000
indemnity for outrages on American
missionaries and destruction OF their
property, unless prompt action on the
Sultan's part anticipates the ultima
tum and the debt is discharged before
a resort is made to drastic measures.
Several courses have been urged on
the President for the collection OF the
100000 indemnity which Is admitted
by the Sultan to be due to the Ameri-
can missionaries. Consideration has
been given to a proposition to seize
the port of Smyrna and administer its
customs revenues until the judgment
and expenses of collection are cancel
ed. This course has not been wholly
abandoned in the remote contingency
that satisfaction is indefinitely delay
ed. 1t involves serious complications
in the Mediterranean, for which the
United States Is extremely reluctant to
assume responsibility for the recovery
OF so small an amount at the present
time.
1t might precipitate war through
Turkeys sending some of its antiquated
warships to Smyrna to resist the tenn
porary American occupation. In that
event the necessity for sending a large
fleet to the Mediterranean would ere
ate alarm among the Powers and dis
turb the delicate equilibrium now ex-
listing in Europe.
Under the circumstances il has been
determined that diplomatic resources
will be first exhausted with confidence
that the Sultan will be brought to un
derstand that his promises cannot be
lightly broken. The proved claims
against Turkey included about $500 900
for the destruction of property alone
To these, which admitted of prac-
tically no dispute, there was added by
the Lentz claim of $4,000, which was
presented by Secretary Olney.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1.-THE
Porte today replied to the third note of
the collective powers on the subject of
an increase of three per cent in duty.
The note announces the intention of
the government to adhere to the plan
of increasing the duties on account of
the bad condition of Turkish finances.
The ambassadors have decided to ad-
dress another note to the Porte again
stating the objections to such an in
crease without previous understand
ing with the powers. The tenacity OF
the Porte threatens to have serious
results.
