THE PAYMENT BY TURKEY.
No Money Received by the State De-
partment.

The State Department has received no
money as yet account Of the Turkish in
demnity claims: nor has 1t had any con-
nection whatever with the deal which mas
been made by the Cramps with the Turk
ish government for the inclusion of the
amount of the indemnity in the price to be
paid for warship by the Turkish govern
ment. But it does know that such contract
has been made and it has had also for its
own part promises from the Turkish gov
ernment that the claims will be paid. SO
if the money comes through the Cramps 1t
Will be accepted simply because the State
Department recognizes The right of the
porte to select any method messenger 1t
may chose to transmit the money.
All that is necessary to make the trans
action proper Is that the fact shall clearly
appear on the records that the money Is
paid by the Turkish government to the
government Of the United States, which
will distribute it among the claimants ad-
judged to be entitled to compensation.

DENMARk'S sHREWD DECKER.
Effort to Force the Sale of st. John
Island.

BERLIN, December 2S.-The Frankfurter
Zeitung prints a letter from Copenhagen, in
which the writer says Germany intends
hslying the Island of st. John for a coalng
station if Denmarks negotiations with the
United States should miscarry. The letter
refers 10 the organization Of a German syn
dicate tor the purpose of acquiring land on
the Island of st. John, the syndicate includ-
ing Herr Ballin, a director Of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company. and further
says the syndicate sounded the Danish gov
ernment some time ago regarding the ac-
auisition of the island by Germany, and
that Denmark answered that she was un-
able to discuss the question owing to the
pending negotiations with the Uni ed States.
Now, however, according to the letter the
plan for German acquisition of the island
Is approachin realization.
A representative OF the Associated Press
showed foreign office official the letter re-

ferred to. In reply the official said Ger
many had never even remotely thought Of
acquiring West Indian island. He added
that she recognizes the United States would
have as just ground for objections thereto
as Germany would have if she heard the
United States was negotiating with Dem
mark for the purchase of the Island Of
Bornholm. The official admitted that 1t
may be true that German capitalists are
trying to purchase land on the Island of ST.
John, but he reiterated that the German
government has absolutely nothing to 90
with the project. The foreign office regards
the letter as intended to bring pressure 60
bear on the United States for fastening the
purchase of the Danish Antilles.

THE FACE OF MARQUETTE
INCORRECTLY REPRESENTED IN
THE STATUE AT THE CAPITOL.
Discovery of Portrait at Montreal
Which is Believed to BE
Genuine,

A discovery has been made that VIII
probably call forth discussion in regard to
the Marquette statue presented to the ma
tion by the state of Wisconsin and now in
Statuary Hall in the Capitol. This discov-
cry is of an oil painting of great merit
which was found recently stored away in
the garret of a religious house III Montreal
On the back of the canvas is the name
''Pere Marquette,' and those who have
seen the work of art express themselves
as satisfied that it is genuine likeness of
the great discoverer and missionary. 1t
shows a face clean shaven, full and round,
with large, EXPIRE ssive eyes, the whole coun-
tenance beaming with intelligence and
kindliness. The painting was so covered
with the dust of centuries that no outline
of 1t could be distinguished until put
through the process of careful cleaning
1t has so fore. bly, impressed those who have
Seen it, not only as a great work of art.
but as a genuine likeness of Marquette,
that arrangements are now under way for
the cOpyrighting of photographs of it both
in this country and abroad, and until all
such rights have been secured, IL is said
neither the painting nor photographs of 1t
viii be exhibited. Both the picture itself
and the back of the canvas have been pho
ographed.
Not the Face of the Statue.
The interesting feature of this pictur. is
said to be the fact that the face of Mar
quette preserved in oil is not the face of
Marquette in the statue at the Capitol.
1t is believed that the painting lately o.s-
covered is the only likeness OF Marquette
not purely ideal or at least made from in
definite descriptions of the man that have
been preserved IN literature. The Mar
quette in marble at the Capitol shows q
rather long, thin face we'll covered with
beard. 1t IS the face of an ascetic, While the
face Of the painting is essentially different.
Every now and then discovery of the
bones of Marquette IS announced from
Michigan, and only lately a story was
widely published to the effect that his bones
had been found in the bed of a stream
which had been turned aside temporarily in
order TO make the interment secure from
vandalism. The fact, well established in
history, Is that Marquette's remains are
now at the Marquette cemetery in Wiscon-
sin, having been removed there from St
ISnace where they had rested for two CEN
turtles

the submission of cOunte" proposition or

From the Chinese point Of view there are
many features Of the peace terms which
