THE USES OF CAC4O.

Cacao is the principal element in chocolate

The pulp of the pod is used as fodder for ami

Chocolate is scarcely known in Oceanica the

The consumption of cacaO is increasing at tho

SNARL WITH TURKEY.
Sultan's Bad Faith Has Strained
Diplomatic Relations.
MINISTER NAY BE SENT HOME.

oh the TURKISH Empire,
Despite Repeated Promises, Neg
lects to Pay,th Indemnity Claim.
OF American missionaries.
Washington, April 1S.-There Is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Turkey are in a critical state,
growing out of the sultan's bad faith.
He promised to pay the indemnity
claims OF the American missionaries
for the destruction of eight buildings
OF the Euphrates college at Harpoot
and several buildings belonging to the
American missionaries at Marash dur
ing the Armenian massacres of 1895.
Mr., Stratus, the United States minister
to Turkey, is at present here on leave
OF absence. AS has ALREADY been an
nounced. he presented kes resignation,
but the president, regarding the ser
vices OF Mr.. Straus as indispensable,
indefinitely extended his leave, subject
Ito the call of the secretary of state,
whenever circumstances may necessi-
tate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhaust
ed itself at Constantinople, the sultan
having promised to pay the indemni-
" claims. amounting to some $4,000,
which promise was again renewed
prior to Mr.. Strauss departure, and al
though Is months have elapsed since
the promise was first made, that prom
Use still remains unfulflled. What ac-
ton the government will now take to
enforce the stltan's promise Is not def
tnitely known, but as the situation Is
critical 1t may result In Secretary Hay
sending the Turkish minister at Wash
ington his passports.
nr
the relations between the two countries
were critical by reason of the inaction
OF the Turkish government and it's re-
fusal to entertain the indemnity claims.
Mr.. Straus, by reason OF his successful
previous mission and his past expert
ence, was sumomned by the president
TO take up the mission, as best qualified
to adjust til pt ding questions in a
manner Satisfactory to both countries.
Shortly after his arrival at Constanti-
nople In September, 1898, several mat
tiers yielded to negotiation. He then
addressed himself to the main cues
tons, the compensation for missionary
buildings destroyed and for property
looted, and the permit for their re-
building. The Turkish government
shortly before the departure of DR..
Angel sent a reply denying all liabil-
fty for the buildings and property de-
stroyed. A similar reply was sent to
the ambassadors of England, France
and Italy, having like claims.
Mr.. Straus took up the question
anew, basing his argument upon the
wen recognized principles OF interna-
uonal law, with the result that at an
audience with the sultan on Dec. s,
1898, the sultan promised to pay the
claims. He also stated that he had
given permission for the reconstruction
OF the destroyed buildings. Neither of
these promises has been kept.

SENATOR noAR's ROLL CALI.
Statesmen Past and Present Voted
Against Retaining the PhIlipptnes

Washington, April 1S.-For more
than three hours yesterday Mr.. Hoar.
the senior senator from Massachusetts,
occupied the attention OF the senate
with a speech in opposition to the poll
Icy OF Imperialism" upon which, he
maintained, this government has en-
parked. The speech was brilliantly
written, was illuminated with splendid
rhetorical figures and was rich with
citations from history. One of the nota-
BILE parts OF the address was the eulogy
OF Aguinaldo. Mr.. Hoar did not liken
the insurgent leader to Washington, as
has been done heretofore, but to Kos
suth, Dom Paul, Joubert, Nathan Hale
and other builders of the church OF lib
erty. In statecraft he likened Aguinal-
DO and his associates to the best minds
ever produced in the Asiatic race.
One OF the most effective parts Of the
address was his fancled roll call of
some of the distinguished statesmen OF
the United States on the question of
the retention of the Philippines. He
began with Washington and closed with
Mckinley, each giving the reason for
his vote. Every vote was in the mega
tive except that OF Aaron Burr, who
voted Eyes" and explained: 'You are
repeating my buccaneering expedition
down the Mississippi. 1 am to be vim
dicated at last"
When the name of William McKin-
ley was called he replied: There has
been cloud before my vision for a
moment, but l see clearly now. ! go
back to what I said two years ago:
'Forcible Remuneration is criminal agrees
sion; governments derive their Just
powers from the consent OF the gov
erned.' will stand with the fathers of
the republic. will stand with the Re-
publican party. No."
The effect was dramatic. Applause
swept over the galleries. but 1t was
quickly hushed by the president pro
tenn.

Bristol, Va, April 15.-Through ex-
commemorative Attorney Hoge. of
Gate City. Va. Connally Fields has ,ust
been relieved by the governor of Vir-
ginia or charge OF murder and out
iawry which has stood against him
since 1884, and which caused him to
be an exile from home. All these
years Fields has resided In the far west
and without the privilege of returning
to his native home In Scott county.
Virginia, as a free man. He was
charged with the murder of his BROTH
er-in-law, William A. Scott. Back of
this is an interesting story OF a hus-
bands self sacrifice for his wife. The
killing of Scott was due to bad blood
that had existed between him and the
Fields family for some time. Scott had
been trespassing upon Fields lands. a
matter which had incensed Mrs. Fields,
SCOTS sister, more than her husband.
The woman urged her husband to
settle the matter with Scott The two
men met near Fields home and a des-
perate struggle between them followed.

In the fight, and before 1t was over
Scott fell MORALLY wounded, his body
having been pierced by sharp instru-
ment. Fields hed the community and
located in the west, where he has been
successful. Fields wife, in Scott coun-
ty, Virginia, sued for and obtained a
divorce upon the ground of desertion.
Afterwards in a fit of temper she shot
and seriously wounded a respectable
lazy In the community. For this crime
she was tried and sentenced to serve
i've years in the penitentiary. Before
she served her time she became Ill with
consumption and was pardoned by the
governor. She died a few days after
her return home. With her death the
secret which her husband had so long
retained became known. 1t was Mrs.
Fields who had murdered her brother.
Some time after the tragedy a sharp
pointed pair of scissors, stained with
blood, was found on the scene of the
murder.
