TO PAY OLD COTTON CLAIMS.
senator Money Anxious to Get the
Measure 90 n Vote.


Washington, April 27.-Mr. Money of
Mississippi by unanimous consent, called
up in the Senate to-day a bin to amend
an act to provide for the collection OF
abandoned property and the prevention OF
frauds In insurrectionary districts within
the United States. He offered an amend
ment In the form OF new section restrict
ing the provisions of the bill to the pro-
ceeds of cotton seized and sold under act
of 1863.
Mr. Money explained that the bill If
passed would afford opportunity TO own
ers of private property to go into the
courts 10 establish their proprietorship OF
the cotton chat fell into the hands of the
authorized agents of the United States
during the Civil War The doors would
not, he said be opened by the enactment
OF the law to general raid on the treas
ufy. he explained that the amount In
VOWED would be less than $1,000, 900.
The cotton had been seized by the Unit
Cd States military commanders, shipped to
New York and fhere sold. the proceeds
oelug placed in the treasury. There 1t had
been since held a trust fund He main
tanned that the owners of the seized cot
ton lad right to Their pro rata share
in this fund because under the PRINCIPLES
OF lnterna tional law and the law cf civil
.--o' Ne'' AoA lilS government
could not hold the proceeds of private
property seized and sold during hostilities
He contended that decisions of the courts
entitled the owners of this seized proper
~ to lay claim to their share of this prop
est-,.
Mr.. Chandler said that half the money
which the government had realized from
the sale Of seized and abandoned property
had been returned in times past to the
people of the South. He declared his in
tention, however, to do what he could to
Keep the little pittance that was left in
the treasury. 1t had cost the United
States government $600.000,0 900 and 10000
lives, he said, to carry the Civil War to
conclusion, and he thought it well to
place this little pttancc as set off
AGAINST the enormous expenditure of $780,
coo go
Mr.. Money said he had no doubt OF the
position of Mr.. Chandler and fully ex-
pected him to act in accordance with his
judgme mt, but there was q right in this
case which no man ought to disregard
He concluded with an appeal to sena-
tors opposed to the measure to permit it
TO come to a vote.

Work Was Carefully Done.
Richmond, Va, April I-The Massanut-
ten Bank, at Strasburg, in Shenandoah
county, was robbed this morning about l
O'Clock and some $500 was secured by the
burglars.
An entrance into the bank building was
effected with skeleton key. The vault
was forced with levers and the safe wreck
ed by means Of nitro -giycerine.
There were eight men in the gang, most
of whom stood guard In various sections
of the town. They fired a number Of piss
toll shots to draw attention from the bank.
Several citizens who looked out of their
windows were ordered to withdraw on.
threat OF being shot
After the robbery the men collected and
took a hand car al the Southern depot
end went TO Riverton, where all trace of
them vast lost. The safe and vault are
perfect wrecks and it will require about
$3.50 to replace them. The bank is MEM

Declared His Innocence.

From the New York Times.
81 am innocent. am guiltless of wrong
doing; time. 1 am convinced, will right
everything"
Oberlin Nj. Carter, once a captain in
the United States corps OF engineers. said
this last night on a parlor car of the
Pennsylvania Railroad train No. T. the
Southwestern Express, a few seconds be-
fore it started with him and an armed
guard which is to escort him to the mill
tary prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
where he will serve out what remains of
his sentence of five years Imprisonment
for embezZlement. Carter spoke in a firm
voice, and emphasized each word. He did
not falter until the train began to move.
Then his eyes were moist and his voice
quavered as he bade his chief counsel
good-by.
Garter bore himself proudly. He walked
erect, with a military stride, looking
neither to the left nCr the right, and was
entirely unperturbed so far as appear
ances went. His spare athletic figure was
set off to advantage by faultless garb
and immaculate linen. He had not been
degraded in any way. That ordeal will
come tomorrow in Kansas, unless special
orders to the contrary are sent to his Gus
to0ians. He wore over a well-made dark
cutaway suit a meal-colored whipcord
overcoat, short, with strapped seams. His
headgear was a black derby, his shoes
were natty and we'll polished. His collar
was a high turn-down with a dark pur-
pie butterfly bow, and he wore buff-col
ored kid gloves.

PORTE MAY TRY EVASION.
American Note Was COuched in Per-
emptOry Terms.


emptory Terms.
Constantlnople, April 1.-THE American
note handed to the Turkish Minister OF
Affairs, Tewfik Pasha, on Tuesday, is
couched in peremptory terms, demanding
immediate payment of the Indemnity sov-
eral times promised to Minister Straus By
the Sultan.
The note does not fix a time limit for an
answer, but its tenor is not far from the
character of an ultimatum. 1t has pro-
duced a great impression upon the Porte,
which, however, shows no disposition to
modify the attitude hitherto maintained
namely, that of regulating the RESPONSE
bility and seeking to diminish the import
ance of the matter
1t is presumed that the Porte's reply will
be In this sense and hence II lis feared
the United States government will be
obliged to take steps TO enforce its de-
mands.
Turkeys decision TO send an officer to
America to study naval construction ia
interpreted to be another sop. II is the
revival of an old project to buy a cruiser
in the United States. in the price of
which the indemnity shall be included, so
THAI the Porte will be able to say It has
not paid the indemnity.
The American government has already
categorically refused such a compromise.
which would mean prolonged negotiations
and the dragging out Of The matter in
definitely, to which the United States will
not listen.
AS regards the indemnity, Il is in the
nature of a debt of honor. II the Porte
wants to buy a cruiser that is a matter
in no way connected with the indemnity.
The Porte's reply 20 the last collective
note on the subject OF duties has not been
made; and the embassies are exchanging
views in regard 10 the terms on which 10
consent to an increase Of duty. It is
thought that before the beginning of ne
gotiations the embassies will invite the
Porte to abolish ransoms and measures in
troduced in violation of treaties.

P0RTE'S SORRY SUBTERFUGE.
WHY TURKEYS SCHEME TO PAY
CLAIMS WOULD FAIL.

United States Would Insist on Max
ing the Payment n Matter of Re-
cord-Besides We Do Not Care to
Mix Up in Amy Questionable Trans
action Over a Cruiser-PeremptOry
Note Has Been Sent Demanding
Payment.
Washington, April T.-Beyond the state
ment that Mr.. Griscom the United States
Charge d'Affairs at Constantinople, has
been instructed to press vigorously for the
payment of the American claims for in
demnity, the officials here decline to di-
vulge the nature of his instructions.
They say that Mr.. Griscom does not
need express instructions to forward the
claims for he has of his own volition,
taken a rather advanced attitude in this
matter and the presentations he is now
making, though this time by express in
structions, are in no respect more per
emptory than his own preceding deliveries
to the Turkish government.
Novel though the proposition was from
to be true that the effort was made by the
Porte to pay this American claim under
cover of an order for warshlp to be built
in the United States for Turkey. The
reasons for the failure of the project were
several: the United States government has
no warships for sale and is not authorized
to build any for foreign order. There is no
warrant of law for entering into arrange
ment with a private shipbuilding concern
for the collection of an international oOli-
cation in the manner proposed. Lastly,
judging by the experience of concerns
that have had dealings with the Turkish
government, any shipbuilder accepting an
order from Turkey would require a qua
antee from the United States government.
and the net result of the transaction might
be the assumption by the United States of
an obligation as much larger than the
original claims as the price o. battleship
exceeds the so 900.
Scheme Would BE "a Failure.
Even If these obstacles were overcome,
the scheme would be an utter failure as
far as concerns the accomplishment of the
prime object. namely, the secret payment
to the United States of the indemnity with
a view to avoiding demands from other
nations for settlemenr~of their claims for
under our open methods of business the
transaction would have to be matter OF
official record.
One effect Of this sudden application of
pressure upon Turkey Is a renewal of the
applications from American holders of
other claims against Turkey for a presen-
tation of their cases. Save the missionary
claims, the 800 coo indemnity contains only
one small allotment of about 5000 for the
benefit of the family of the bicyclist LEM,
who was killed in Turkey while making a
circuit of the globe. But it is believed
that however well founded the outstanding
claims may be, the present time is not re-
the attention of the Porte, as 1t is ex-
pected that nothing will be done to divert
the negotiations from these missionary
claims as the main issue.
