and the American forces would necessar-
lily have to be greatly increased.

Washington. April 19.-Among the call
ers on Acting Secretary Hill today was
Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minister to
Washington. Though this was diploma
tic day and the minister has been a rath-
er frequent visitor to the department on
such days, it was pretty we'll understood
that the occasion for this particular call
was the publication of the intention of
the United States government to bring
to an immediate issue the negotiations
with Turkey relative to the payment Of
the American missionary and other
claims. 1t is understood that the purpose
of the minister was primarily to gather
information on this subject, of which he
was ignorant, owing to the fact that the
negotiations have been conducted exclu-
sively in Constantinople. Following the
invariable rule of diplomatic intercourse
neither of the principals was at liberty to
disclose the details of the interview. It
is understood, however, that while
aware that there has been nothing SO far
in the nature of an ultimatum, the MIN
lister was impressed with the fact that
the situation is actually one of great
gravity and it is presumed he will SO In
form his government. He expresses HIM
SELF as as.aconfdentsthat the present crisis q
viii be safely passed without permanent
disturbances of the traditional good re-
lations between the United States and
Turkey. ---sts

QUAY CASE GOES FIRST
Probable Dissent Regarding
Methods Of Campbell and
WhiteSide- Supreme
Courts Part.

Washington, April 2O.-It was intended
to hold meeting Of the senate committee
on privileges and elections today, to con-
slider the report Of the committee in the
case Of Senator Clark Of Montana, but
owing to the recent changes in the text it
was found impossible to prepare it for
presentation today.
1t now seems probable that no meeting
will be held before Monday. This post
ponement will render it practically i'm
possible to dispose Of the case in the SEN
ate before the vote is taken in the Quay
case as some senators had expressed a
desire to have done, but there is gen
raj understanding about the senate that
all questions on this point will be settled
by Senator Clark refraining from voting
in the Quay case.
The principal difficulty in agreeing
upon the report, is found in the treatment
Of an episode connecting the Montana SUI
preme court with the Clark contest.
There are also some differences, as to the
methods of treating Congressman Camp
bells and Senator Whiteside"s connection
with the case. The majority Of the com
mittee We're disposed to use the testimony
concerning the state court as strongly
corroborative of the general charges
against Clark, while Senators Pettus,
Harris and McComas take the position
that as there was no proof connecting
Clark with the alleged approaches to the
court, this testimony should not be used
as desired by the majority. There was an
effort in progress to adjust these differ
ences of opinion, but if this is found prac-
ticable. the three senators mentioned
will, while agreeing in the general ver-
dict, express dissenting views on this
point.
upon the methods of Campbell and
Whiteside.
In no event will there be any division
as to the recommendation that the seat
occupied by Clark shall be declared va
cant. Parts Of the report upon which
there will be unanimity Of opinion are
those dealing with the general charges
against Clark General stress is laid on
the testimony concerning the business
dealings with the members of legislature
such as Mclaughlin, Woods, and Warn
er and the present to Mr. Day; and to
acknowledge the use Of large sums of
money. Considerable attention is given
to the fact that Senator Clark's commit
tee disregarded the laws of the state in
failing to make renorts of the expendi-
lures in the campaign. IN the matter OF
the Whiteside exposure, including his
handing over to the state the $4,000 al

The speaker declared that the Chicago
Worlds Fair was the most illustrious,
the most beneficial and the most far
reaching in it's results that the world has
ever seen. Governor Francis then re-
lated what had been done to further the
proposed exposition to be held in st.
tennial of the Louisiana purchase which
is already familiar to the general reader.
and added: "A bill has been introduced
tatoves providing for the recognition Of

preparation to be made when st. Louis
shall have raised $1O.O0O,00O in aid of the
exposition but not to be available until

tion of the secretary of the treasury. No

stances to complete preparations for 1903

WORK OF THE SENATE,

Washington, April Ex-senator Bacon
offered two resolutions, one inquiring of
the secretary of war whether the army
officers had received, or were receiving
salaries for the performances of civil du-
ties, in addition to their regular pay and
the other inquiring about expenditures
made for officers quarters, equipments,
etc. Bacon said the first resolution was
introduced in response to the challenge
made yesterday by Chandler.
He had no specific information on sub
ject and indeed had received assurances
that no such extra salaries We're paid.
Both resolutions were objected to and
went over Hale presented conference
report on the additional urgency deficiency

Flood Situation.

New Orleans, April 2O.-New Orleans
has ceased to regard the flood situation
as a temporary inconvenience. AS time
has passed and as the full scope of the de-
structiOn which visited this section of
the country in the excessive rains which
began in the early days of the week and
still continue, has been learned, the con-
viction has been irresistably brought
home that a calamity of appalling mag
nitude has been experienced and that in
stead of the worst being over the evil
has just begun. There are now within
the gates of the city no less than 500 wa
ter-bound travellers who are not only un-
able to return to their homes now. but do

The Illionois Central railroad system
has incurred damages which will amount
to hundreds Of thousands of dollars, fig
uring the loss Of business and the end is
not yet. Not only is that road tied up
to-day, but there is no telling when trains
will be able to run. The streams are
still rising and rains continue to fall to-
day. The tie-up is complete, both on the
Illinois Central and the Yazoo & Missis-
sippi Valley roads. The train which de-
parted for Chicago Monday morning was
only returned to New Orleans Wednes-
day night and with the delayed passen-
gers came back two carloads of mail
which had to be taken in charge Nv the
postal authorities and routed out as ex-
pc diency demanded.
The New Orleans & Northwestern is in
just as bad a fix. 1t has been unable to
move any trains out of the city since
Monday and does not know when it will
be able to resume operations.
The East Louisiana railroad has shut
up operations and the Mobile & Ohio,
between Meriden and Enterprise, Miss,
is paralyzed. Business is practically at
standstill owing to the lack of mails,
which have been stopped over the suf-

Attitude Approved

Constantinople, April 20.-The firm at
titude of the United States government
regarding the claims Of Americans for
losses and massacres in Armenia is en-
tirely approved in political and CONNER
cial circles, and it is hoped that the
United States will steadfastly maintain
it's demand, such course being the only
one likely to succeed.
It is thought that all the powers should
follow the same course. not only con-
cerning indemnities, but also with regard
to the increase Of duty.
Negotiations regarding the American
indemnity are now being conducted in
Washington, owing to the presence there
of United States Minister Strauss.
