GRIsCOM HAS NOT REPORTED.
What is Said About the AmbassadOr'i
Meeting at CopstantinOple.

Mr.. Griscom has not yet communicated
to the State Department the result of the
latest meeting of the ambassadors at Con-
stantinople, but the press account Of the
conclusions is said to be substantially in
the line of the demands of the foreign rep
resentatives at the beginning. The main
object of our government was TO insure the
protection of the United States exporters
against and charges in the Turkish tariff
that would amount to a discrimination,
though the fact might not appear In the
trade. Therefore the assurance that the
porte will not resort to unilateral measures
Is acceptable.
Respecting the decision Of the ambassa-
doris to make the payments to foreigners on
account of indemnity claims a separate
question for after consideration, 1t is said
here that our own claims, and particularly
the missionary claims, are not TO be af-
fected by any such agreement, and they
are not involved in the present issues be-
fore the ambassadors.
