TURKEY TO PAY THE CLAIMS.

1.aen His Promise-ImpOrtant Con-
oesS,ons Made with Regard to
Missionaries Rebuilding.
washington, April 24.-It can be stated
IN authority that the negotiations respect
ing the American missionary claims are
progressing in the most satisfactory man
rar in the view of the government.
The department has received from Mr..
Griscom, the United States charge, a ca
bIegram announcing that the Porte has
undertaken to meet all of the engagements
made with the United States minister re-
enecting the payment of the claims set up
on account of the destruction of the
American mission property in Turkey.
If is not stated when the payments will
he made, and il is surmised that owing to
the many obligations of greater magnitude
messing upon the Porte some time may
vai eIapse before the money is actually
in hand.
The charge also confirmed the press re-
Dorts as to the publication by the Porte
If an trade authorizing the rebuilding of
the destroyed missions at Harpoot and
Harsan and the construction of an annex
10 the Robert College, the great American
Theological School in Constantinople. This
action of the Turkish government is re-
garded as of an Importance far exceed
ing the mere payment of $4,000 on account
of property destroyed by mob. II
amounts to a recognition of the right of
orr missionaries to build their schools in
Turkey and insures them against what
they regarded as gradual, but absolute,
exclusion from the domains of the Sui
tan.
Under the Turkish law, buildings de-
stroved under the conditions surrounding
those at Harpoot can be reconstructed
only by special permission of the Porte.
In the case of the Harpoot and Robert
College, the applications have been pend
ing for several years before the Porte
and several American ministers have
vainly tried to forward them. Once an
application progressed so far that it re-
ceived the approval of the Sultan but by
some mysterious means it was made way
with by some one connected with the
Porte and never having been officially
promulgated, was, of course, of no force.
on the whole the officials here regard
Mr. Griscom's cable as marking the safe
passage of what might have been re-
garded as critical point in the negotia-
tons and feel confident that in addition
to this notable concession, the United
States will secure all of its just claims.

In anticipation of his triumph the regu-

State Senators Martin of Philadelphia and
Flynn of Pittsburg there was gathered
tonight a party of men who took an ac-

during the last session of the Legislature.
They were not slow to express their
satisfaction at the turn affairs have taken.
The general opinion among the Quay
lieutenants is that the result at

that Quay viii no longer be a candidate.
Gov Stone is spoken of as a party candi-

that the Governor would be equally as OBJ
jectionable as Mr.. Quay and say he would
not command any more support than was
accorded TO Quay during the deadlock ses-

in the South.
Washington, April A.-The weather bu-
reau's weekly summary of crop condl-
tions says:
The temperature conditions of the week
ending April %, We're generally highly
favorable but excessive rains in the
Southern States greatly interfered with
farm work, and caused destructive floods
In portions of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, much replanting will be nee
essary, as a result of the inundaton.
Corn planting has been generally re-
tarded where not completed in the South
ern states and the Central Mississippi
valley, and is later than for many years
in Tennessee. Winter wheat is improved.
With ample moisture and favorable tenn
perature the crop has made rapid growth
in the Central valleys and Southern
States.
Early sown spring wheat is coming up
to good stands over the southern portion
of the spring wheat region. Oat crop re-
ports are encouraging.
The continuous excessive rains over the
central and eastern portions of the cotton
belt have retarded cotton planting and
washed up much of the acreage previous
~ planted. In Southern Texas planting is
well advanced, and 1t is progressing rap
idly in the northern portion of the stale.
Planting over the northeastern part of
the cotton belt is unusually delayed.
Fruit reports are encouraging.

AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER.

Witness Gave Attorney the Lie in "a
Committee Room.
Washington, April A.-An exciting en-
counter occurred at the Couer d Alene in
vesuga ton in the House Military Affairs
Committee room this afternoon, when
Bartlett Sinclair, who was on the stand,
gave the lie to Attorney Robertson, repre-
senting the miners.
Sinclair was testifying of his order for
bidding a meeting of the miners at the
cemetery on July II, last, commemorative
the deaths resulting in the riots of 1892.
He said his notice did not forbid women
from assembling to put flowers on the
graves. Attorney Robertson insisted that
1t did specifically prohibit women from
assembling.

Il stated 1t as a fact" replied Mr..
Robertson.

Robertson made a lunge at Sinclair,
but the distance was too great to permit
blow. Representatives Sulzer, Hay,
Esch and other members sprang between
the combatants or reached across the ia
bic to separate them. The greatest con-
fusion prevailed for a few moments, as
the pale and GREATNESS principals sought
to get at each other. No actual blows
were struck, however, and after sharp
cautions from the chairman against such
disorder the orderly procedure was re-

enjoy. The European situation is one of
greatest interes L and significance TO us just
at this time In all of the great manu-
featuring countries there Is practically
the same degree Of activity that is seen
here in the United States. Great Britain
is engaged in a tedious and costly war
which not only makes heavy demands
upon the indus tries OF the nation but also
seriously hampers their operations by the
withdrawal of thousands of their skilled
workers for military service In Germany
and Belgium manufac turers are employ
ing all their productive capacity and still
are unabl TO meet the demand for what
they produce. The commerce and indus
tries of France are subject in lesser de-
gree 10 the same influences with the ad-
ditional impetus which a great world $
exposition imparts TO every branch OF
trade
Industrial Europe is now seriously ham
pered by a scarcity of fuel, due 10 the
enormous demand from manufacturing en-
terprises, and at the present time il is inn
possible 70 procure from any source sup
ply of coal with which to meet the con-
stantly increasing requirements. The
gravity of the situation is apparent to all
who read the reports from European man
ufactur:ng centers; and it is easy 10 see
that this embarrassment of the manufac-
turers of Europe only tends to prolong the
period of activity in the United states, 1t
is to this country that Europe looks in an
emergency for what her home industries
cannot supply.
In spite of the great demand at home in
spite of delayed deliveries and advanced
prices, in spite of the reluctance of many
of our manufacturers even to consider

MISSIONARIES IN SESSION.
Work of Distributing the Bible Was
Under Discussion.

New York, April 2i.-About a dozen
meetings of the Ecumenical Conference
were held in different churches and halls
to-day, and much enthusiasm was dis
played. During the afternoon there were
meetings at the Madison Avenue Re-
formed Church, the Central Presbyterian
Church, the Church of the Strangers and
Chambers Music Hall.
The principal meeting was held in Car
negie Hall tonight, which was crowded
to its capacity. Bishop f. r. Hendrix
of the Southern Methodist Church, recent
ly returned from Africa, presided. The
speakers of the evening were Bishop
Hendrix Rev. Canon w. ]. Edmunds of
Xeter Cathedral, Rev. Jacob Chamber
lain of India, and Rev. William Ashmore,
formerly of China The subject was
THE Translation of the Bible, ana It's
Distribution Among the Nations Of the
Earth" 49, 10
Bishop Hendrix spoke of the missionary
idea, saying that II is q supernatural and
Christian idea, and that the Christian re-
ligion stands or falls with the idea of
universality Christianity shows itself to
be the religion Of humanity in leaping
over seas to the very ends OF the world.
Propag andism Is its commission ana life
blood. Missionary idea IL the fundamental
idea of the work of the church. Greater
America, he said, means greater Ameri-
cans. Control of the tropics must mean
control Of ourselves. The only true i'm
perialism is universal love. e 49,
Rev. Canon Edmunds said in part:
ut is not generally realized by the
Church and the public at large that the
translation of the Scriptures into all Ian
guages then extans was the first work OF
the apostolic church, nor do they seem
10 realize that IL is to-day one OF the
works of the Church Of Christ II Is our
duty to give 10 the heather the help and
instruction which can only be derived
from the reading Of the Scriptures in their
own tongues. The voice of this confer
ence will, 1 am sure, be the voice of one
man that we should translate and distrib-
ute the Scripture all over the known
world"
Another meeting was held tonight in
the Central Presbyterian Church. Rev
Joseph King of Australia read a paper
containing interesting statistics concern
ing the country In which he works. Dr.
Harry Guinness of London told Of the con-
dtion of affairs in Peru and Bolivia and
DIR. C. =. Everson of Korea gave Instances
OF the conversion of natives In Korea.
The other speakers were Rev. John Fox
Of New York. Rev. Joseph King of Aus
tralia and Rev. e. w. Parker OF India.

NO GOOD CAUSE FOR SLUMP.
Fall in Iron Attributed TO stock job
hing Enterprise.

hing Enterprise.
birmingham Ala, April 24.-Southern
Iron manufacturers scout the idea that
there is any cause for a legitimate slump
in the price of pig iron.
Col. A NJ. Shook vice president of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com
pany. said today that the demand for
American pig iron for export was very
heavy, and that as steel and its manu-
features, which consume so per cent. of
the pig iron made, were in a healthy con-
dltlon the 20 per cent. of pig iron re-
naming for general consumption could NOT
possibly glut the home market in the face
of the export demand. Southern fur
naces, he said are sold to within a half
of their utmost capacity for the next
eight months.
He is inclined TO believe that che present
furry is a stock jobbing enterprise. Other
Southern iron men take the same View
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company to-day booked an order for 25,-
900 tons of iron for export
