Warrington. April 28.-Beyond the
statesuent that Mr.. 0riscum, United
States charge at Constanflnople, has
been instructed to press vigorously for
tor Indemnity, the officials here decline
ito divulge the nature OF his instruc-
tlons. They ray Mr.. Griscom does not
need express Instructions to forward
the claims, for he had Of his own voli-
Hon taken a rather advanced attitude
In this matter, and the presentations he
ID now making, though this time by ex-
presa instruction, are In no respect
more peremptory than his own preced-
ing deliveries to the Turkish govern
ment
The Unlted States government has no
wnrships for sale, and In not authorized
to build any for foreign order. Then
there ID NO warrant Of law for entering
into an arrangement with a private
ship building concern for the collection
Of an International obligation in the
manner proposed.
Constantinople April 2S.-The Amer
lean note handed to the Turkish
minister of foreign Affairs. Tewfik
PAsha, Tuesday, Ii c0uchetl In peremp-
tory terms demanding immediate pay
ment of the indemnity several times
promised to Minister Strauss by the
Sultan. The note does not fix time
limit for an answer. but It's tenor IL not
far from the character Of an ultimatum.
1t has produced a great impression up
on the Porte. which, however. shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
hitherto maintained, namely, repudiat-
Ing the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the importance Of the matter.
1t ID presumed that the POrte's reply
will be In this sense, and hence. II is
feared the United States government
will he obliged to take steps to enforce
fts demands.

Denver, April 3O.-A special dispatch
from Topeka, Kansas, to the 1epub
lican says:
Attorney General GODDARD left TO,
Washington to-day to present to the
United States Supreme Court next
Monday motion for leave to tile a BIZ
In equity OH behalf Of tile state Of Kan
sas against the state OF Colorado, to
cnjoin that state from dlverting the
waters Of the Arkansas river and ltl
tributaries for irrigation and Other
purposes The suit In to be brought
upon the authority Of Governor Stan.
ley, and service will be had upon the
governor and attorney general Of Colo
RADIO.
This action on the part Of the attor.
hey general Ia q matter Of vital and
colossal interest to the settlers In the
Arkansas valley. This river lows
through thirteen Kansas counties,
forming valley almost AZ rich as the
valley of the Nile, containing 2,50O,O0
acres, and with the natural dow and
underfiOw Of the river In It's unlnpeded
condition, this IL one of the richest val
ieys In the West.
But the state Of Colorado has for
many years pursued q policy Of prac-
tlcally appropriating all OF the water
which was by nature intended to come
down this valley through Kansas, and
to such an extent has this action on the
part Of Colorado damaged Kansas, and
especially the Arkansas valley, that
Attorney General GODDARD has conciud-
ell to see whether the Supreme Court
can afford relief.
The contention Of Kansas d that
when the part of Colorado east of the
Rockies was yet part Of Kansas ter
ritory, the common law Of England
was by statutory provision made to ap-
ply. and that under this common law
riparian rights were along the entire
future legislation was p0werlesS to ab-
rognte or impair.
Kansas does not ak that the bitches
all be destroyed, or the property Of
those interested thereby confiscated but
asks that the state Of Colorado permit
no more bitches to be dug, that 1t rive
no more charters to pessons for irriga-
tIon canals, except for water and do
nestle use, and asks TINT the state be
restrained from building tue canals and
reservoirs which 1t contemp1atee, and
as fast In the future az thu charters Of
Its Irrigation bitches expire, that they
shall not be renewed. aud Mat mo new
permits or authority or license be
granted to divert the water, except for
domestic uses. This, In the course OF
time, without loss to Colombo, will ~
store the condition Of thinks and not
interfere with present vested rights.
The amount Involved In the suit 10
almost fabulous, because n the eonten-
ton OF the state Of Kansas Ahould Be
Oyerruled, then the state would suffer
in the future annual damages beyond
computation. which would be 10 nddlt
ton to the great loss In reveauo which,
the state Ii already suffering.
