CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.
The POrtc's Futile Efforts to settle
the Matter, Under Cover of
Purchaae.

WASHINGTON, April 3o.-It is said at
the state department that Mr.. Griscom,
the United States charge at Constantine
pie. has not yet acquainted the depart
ment with the nature of the reply made
by the Porte to his last representation
touching the American indemnity claims,
so II Is presumed that he, himself, has not
yet received the answer.
There is some reason to believe that
powerful effort is being put forth by the
Turkish government TO compromise the
missionary claims unofficially.
The method which is looked upon as
most feasible is that connected with the
building OF warship for Turkey In the
United States. If the claimants choose to
receive the amount OF their claims from
an American shipbuilding firm instead OF
through the state department. thereby re-
moving from the department the basis
for further prosecution of its demand upon
the Porte, some interesting points OF In
ternational law might be raised. 1t would
seem that once committed to the state de-
partment, an international claim cannot
be withdrawn without the consent Of the
department though whether there would be
a refusal in this case cannot be stated.

MEN ACCUSED OF GOEBEL
MURDER ON TRIAL.
They Ask a Change of Venue ON Ac-
count of Public Sentiment. Which
the Prosecution Resists.

FRANKFORT. KY, April 3o.-Five of
the defendants charged with completely or
as accessories in the murder of William
Goebel were arraigned this afternoon be-
fore Judge Cantrill. They were Republi
can Secretary of State Caleb Powers, Capt.
John w. Davis, Harland Whitaker, w. II.

of them entered pleas of not guilty.
Henry f. Youtsey, who had previously
been arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Joined with the other prisoners in asking
for a change of venue.
After the arrafgnment ex-Gov. John
Young Brown, for the defense, rendered
pardons granted by Republican Gov. Tay-
lor to Caleb Powers and John Davis. and
offered them as a bar to the prosecution.
In presenting the pardons Gov. Brown
said that he did so as a matter of form,
and not with the hope that the court
would sustain the motion for dismissal.
Judge Cantrill. in overruling the motion,
said:
The alleged pardons are not good in
law. The title to the Office of governor is
in dispute and the litigation over 1t is still
pending In a court. Several of the courts
have passed on the questions at issue. and
those that have so passed thereon decided
that Mr.. Taylor is not governor and was
not at the time these pretended pardons
were granted"
The petitions for changes of venue were
then made. The prosecution entered an
objection and filed counter aftidavits. The
defense maintained that it is impossible
in the present state of public feeling for
the defendants TO obtain a fair and i'm
partial trial in this community. The coun-
ter affidavits state that there is no such
feeling as would prevent a fair and inn
partial trial. Both sides presented a
lengthy list of witnesses. who were called
to give testimony as to the state of feel
ing and the question as to whether a fair
trial can be obtained here.
Three witnesses were heard on the side
Of the prosecution in regard to the change
Of venue. The hearing OF evidence on this
question will probably take up most of the
day tomorrow.
