They Pay Eszasui Indemnity
Claim Of $4,000.
THE RESULT OF A STRONG PRESSURE
Turkey. However. Refuses to Agree to the
Claim Of the United States and Ad.
ministration Officials Give Up.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-A message
front United States Consul Gummeri,
at Tangler. informs the state depart.
ment that the Moorish government had
settled the claim Of the United States
foi $4,000 indemnity on account of
the murder OF Marcus Eszagui, a nat.
nralized American citizen, in Morocco
last spring.
Eszagui was Of French birth, but the
fact that he was naturalized and an
American citizen relieved the French
government from the necessity of join
ing IN the demand for indemnity. The
Moorish government pleaded as u
basis for its first declination to pay the
fact that the man was killed, not by
Moorish officers. but in fight with
the rabble. The claim for indemnity,
however. was based on the failure of
the Moorish government to make any
effort to arrest or punish the prepetra.
tors OF the murder. The navy depart.
ment. at the instance OF the state de.
partnent, WAS making n rangements to
send naval vessel to Morocco to give
moral support to the demands of the
American consul for a settlement.
The president today appointed John
G. A. Leishman, now minister to Swift.
zerland, to be minister to Turkey. 1t
Is recalled that when Minister Strauss
came back to the United States and
resigned in disgust at his inability to
close up the Turkish claims, the i'm.
preston was semi.o officially given that
no minister would be named to succeed
him until the Turkish government had
met our demands. After waiting a
long time, the Turkish government
itself was obliged to take notice of the
diplomatic manifestation O. the dis.
pleasure of the United States, evi.
denced by the absence Of Mr.. Strauss
from Constantinople. Therefore, it
caused the announcement to be made
that it had terminated the ministerial
office OF Ali Ferrouh Bey, the minister
resident here. But to prevent the
issue from becoming too acute, it at
the same time named Shekir Bey as
minister to Washington. But Shekib
thus far has not left Constantinople,
and Ali Ferrough Bey remains in
Washington, although, as he frankly
states, he is nothing more than
charge d'affaires for the moment. 1t
is expected that shekib Bey now will

Turkey will Not Pay.

New York. Dec. 2O.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Payment of the missionary claims

style, he did not let the presence OF the
battleship have any effect upon his
pocketbook, and still holds the SOC, 900
which American missionaries assert is
the value OF personal and missionary
property destroyed six years ago. The
belief OF the administration is that
Turkey will not settle the claims aris-
ing out of the reported purpose OF
Great Britain to press the missionary
claims OF her subjects against the sub
lime porte. 1t is stated that it AN
other nation begins to press its claims,
the sultan will probably decline to set
tie those OF the United States.

A WEEK OF PRAYER.
New York Will Close the Century in
Devotions.

New York, Dec. 1S.-A number of the
leading clergymen and laymen of this
city, have proposed the idea of holding
ings during tn last week of the nine
teenth century. 1t is intended that these
meetings be held in various churches,
but under the direction of a body of men
connected with a number of denomina-
tions and not sectarian. A circular to
this effect has been sent out signed by
Rev. Doctor Francis e. Clark, Boston;
Geo. T.. PorVeS, Robert S. McArthur
Henry Mottet, j. Wilbur Chapman, Da-
vid J. Burrell, S. Parks Cadman. A. G.

John M. Connell, New York; Gen. o. O.
Howard, Gen. e. Stebbey, Batueboro,
and Gen. f. Beemis, Mrs. Margaret Bot
tome and Mrs. McElroy.
AS planned, the prayer meetings will
end by a union meeting of all ministers
and church officials of the metropolitan
district in Y. M. c. A. hall. on Monday
afternoon, Dec. 81 at 2:20. This will be
addressed by three or four of the leading
pulpit orators of New York and Phila-
delpha.
Following the first of the New Year,
the first week will be devoted to daily
prayer services in all parts of the ma
ton. The movement is known as the
twentieth century gospel campaign.

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS

. Anaconda is dressed in holiday attire
and at no time in the history of the city
have the merchants taken such pains
in the decoration of their places of bust
hess SO elaborately as they have this
year. The window displays are artistic
and neat and never failing in attractive
mess. Trade is reported by many of the
business houses as being good, and on
whole, much better than a year ago.
But it stands to reason that it should
be. The city has enjoyed a marked in
crease in population.
A well known real estate man, in
speaking of the changed conditions last

500 vacant houses and cabins in the city,

WORK WELL DONE
TACHERS GET GREAA' PROFIT
FROM INSTITUTE.
A PAPER ON SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Order of Elks Will Make Merry
Christmas in Many Anaconda
Homes.

Today is the third day the Teachers
Institute, in session in the county court
house, and the pedagogues SHOW no
signs of fatigue or lack of interest. The
teachers are keeping good school hours,
in fact the institute is conducted in
about the same order as the public
schools in that respect. Each days ses-
sion opens at 3 o'clock a. M. then there
is an intermssion about 10:30 an hour
and half is taken for lunch, from IL
to 1870 o'clock. Another intermission
takes place in the afternoon. and an ad-
journment is taken at o'clock.
No entertainment was given last night
as previously intended, but there will be
one tonight, when programme will be
rendered at the Presbyterian church.
The musical feature will he interesting
and no doubt the address to be delivered
on that occasion by Editor j. H. Durston
will he as much so.
The principal event of yesterday
afternoon was the reading of a paper by
City Physician Spelman. on the subject
of School Room Hygiene" The doctor
took the occasion to give the teachers
much valuable information relative to
the effects of alcohol and iptoxicants
also how the subject should be brought
to children to impress their minds of the
disasters that come from an Indulgence
IN them. He took particular pains to say
to the teachers that they should tell
their pupils that such intoxicants are
unnecessary that the use of them dis
tui'bs digestion and continued use the
nervous system, which is followed by
many other disturbances not congenial
to good health
At opening of the institute this morn
ing, DIR. McAndrew took up the subject
bf United States history again. He ad-
rised the bringing in of current events
~ the teaching of study as well as
events of the past
He thought also that the plan of hay-
Ing pupils participate in some special
program commonwealth anniversary of
important happenings, the singing of
national songs, the marching and carry
ing OF flags on these occasions, would
cultivate patriotism and love of the flag
among the children. Mrs. Young gave
her talk on the teaching of primary
feading and spelling. Miss McDougal
Ecnducted her daily class in music, and
Prof Walker gave some instructions in
physical. culture.

paid high compliment to Supt. Gleeson

lem of public schools established in

Df great pride to him as we'll as to every

deed; her people corrupt and without
shame?"
There are in every community. as in
this, men who can be bought and who
have been bought and paid by W. A.
Clarks gold to serve his purposes, and
they try to create sentiment in his ia
vor for two reasons First-They desire
to earn their wages. Second-Like pro-
fessional criminals, they seek to drag
others down to their depths that they
may have company in their misery, for
at heart they must be miserable, having
the contempt of all honest men. Yes,
the man with price, the man who is out
to sell, the man who is criminal at
heart and endorses crime, the weak and
the venal, are for Clark; but fortunately
these classes are in the minority and the
great majority, which is honest, which
stands for the maintenance of law and
the honor and integrity of the commun-
ity, is against him and his corrupting
gold.
The democrats in convention will NOM
mate men whose known honesty will be
sufficient guarantee that as members of
the legislature they will be honest and
above price; and to such men will be
entrusted the election of two democratic
United States senators from Montana
who will truly represent the state in the
councils of the nation and stand for
democratic principles with democratic
president.
There are plenty of such men within
the democratic party and it is our duty
to elect as legislators men who will
choose senators for their worth and
ability, for their honesty and integrity,
for real character. Nominate honest
men, and if honest men are nominated
they will not be Clark men when elected,
for no honest man will endorse bribery
or accept bride, and without bride
nobody votes for Clark. Democrats, put
none but honest men on guard. Do not
put your faith in republican members of
the legislature, but nominate and elect
true and honest democrats and represen
tative citizens. This is our course to
pursue and this our duty to perform.
