NO SECRET PAYMENT.
The Sultan Cannot Include the In
demnity in Cost of n Warship.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Beyond the
statement that Mr.. Griscom, the United
States charge d'affaires at Constantine
PIE, has been instructed to press vigor-
ously for the payment of the American
claims for indemnity, the officials here de-
cline to divulge the nature of his instruc-
tions. They say that Mr.. Griscom does
not need express Instructions to forward
the claims, for he mas, of his own Volt
ton, taken a rather advanced attitude in
this matter, and the presentations he is
now making. though this time by express
instruction, are in no respect more per-
emptory than his preceding deliveries to
the Turkish government.
Novel though the proposition was from
a diplomatic statement, yet ii is learned
that the effort was made by the Porte to
pay the American claims under cover of
an order for a warship 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 war
ships for sale, ind Is not authorized to
build any for foreign order. Then there is
no warrant of law for entering into an
arrangement with a private shfpbuilding
concern for the collection on an interna-
tional obligation in the manner proposed.
Lastly. Judging by the experience of con-
Germs that have dealings with the Turk
ish government, any s~hipbuilder accept
ing the order from Turkey would require a
guarantee from the United States govern
raent, and the net result of the transac-
ton might be the assumption by the
United States of obligations as much lar
ger than the original claims as the price
of a battleship exceeds the $4,000. Even
If these obstacles were overcome, the
scheme would be an utter failure as con-
Germs the accomplishment of the prime
object, namely, the secret payment to the
United States OF the Indemnity, with a
view of avoiding demands from other ma
lions for settlement of their claims, for
under our open methods of business the
transaction would have to be a matter of
official record.
One effect of this sudden application of
pressure upon Turkey is a renewal of the
application from American holders Of
other claims against Turkey for a presen-
tation Of their cases. Save the mission
airy claims, the $50, 900 indemnity contains
only one small allotment of about 5000
for the benefit of the family of the Bicy-
clist LenZ, who was killed in Turkey while
making a circuit of the globe. But it is
believed that however we'll founded the
other outstanding claims may be, the
present time is not regarded as propitious
for urging them upon the attention Of the
Porte, and it is said that nothing will be
done to divert the negotiations from these
missionary claims as the main issue

VICTORIA AT WINDSOR

Enthusiastic Demonstrations al

Prince of Wales Thankful.

LONDON, April 27.-Thousands of per-
sons this morning witnessed the landing of
the Queen at Holyhead, where she arrived
yesterday on her return from Ireland. The
royal special train started outward at II
o'clock amid an enthusiastic demonstra-
ton. On the arrival of her Majesty at
Chester the mayor and corporation coun-
sci of that place presented her with an
address.
Her Majesty left Chester mid loud
cheering and the singing of the national
anthem by some four thousand children
who had been mustered on the platform.
Greetings of a similar character were given
wherever the train made a stop. The Queen
arrived at Windsor Castle at SIS p. m.
Lord Rosebery, proposing the health of
the Queen this evening at the banquet of

herself so much as she has during the last
few months. Never before has she borne

varying events of the war in South Africa,
and, therefore. she has never before re-
ceived to so marked a degree evidences of
the gratitude and loyalty Of her subjects"

demanding immediate payment for : the
indemnity several times promised to Min
lister 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 produced a great i'm
preston on the Porte, which, however,
shows no disposition to modify the attitude
hitherto maintained. namely, repudiating
the responsibility and seeking to diminish
the Importance of the matter. 1t is pre-
sumed that the Porte's reply will be in this
sense; and hence, it is feared the United
States government will be obliged to a
steps to enforce its demands.
Turkeys decision to send an officer to
America to study naval construction is in
terpreted to be another sop. 1t is the revi-
val of an old project to buy a cruiser in the
United States, in the price of which the
indemnity will be included, so the Porte
can say it has not paid the indemnity. The
American charge has already categorically
refused such a compromise, which would
mean prolonged negotiations and the drag
ging out of the matter indefinitely, to
which the United States will not listen. AS
regards the indemnity it is in the nature
Of a debt of honor. If the Porte wants ID
buy a cruiser that is a matter in no way
connected with the indemnity.
The Porte's reply &c the last collective
note or the subject of the tariff has not
been made and the embassies are exchang
ing views in regard to the terms on which
to consent TO an increase OF duty. 1t is
thought that before the beginning of ne
gotiations the embassies will invite the
Porte to abolish ransoms and measures
introduced in violation of treaties.

NEW YORK. April 27.-The laymen's
missionary meeting of the Ecumenical Con-
ference, which was held tonight. filled
Carnegie Hall from the platform to the
last row of the upper gallery. John d.
Rockefeller and a party of ladies occupied
a box. President Seth Low, of Columbia
University, called the meeting to order
and made the opening address. Before the
speakers entered upon the platform Ira d.
Sankey stirred the audience with several
hymns.
Samuel B. Capen, of Boston, president of
the American Board of Foreign Missions,
traced the growth of foreign missions in a
general way. He cited the Sandwich
islands as probably the best example of
the power of the spirit of the gospel.
There, last year. the 500 Christians gave
one-sixth as much for foreign missions as
the 6OO,0 GOO members of the Congregational
Church in this country. He told of brave
American women who, as missionaries, had
made magnificent sacrifices and stands in
foreign lands. He said the church should
remember these heroes as the Nation builds
monuments to it's heroes.
Judge David Graham Barclay, of Eng
land. spoke of mission work in India. Hon.
w. j. Northen, forme Governor of Geor-
gia and president of the Southern Baptist
Convention, discussed the relations of lay
men to missions. He said he was in the
city for no purpose but to attend this con-
ference, and had missed one session. For
mer Mayor Sherein, of Brooklyn, and Rev.
DR.. Scholl. of Baltimore, spoke briefly.
John H. Converse. of Philadelphia. the To-
connective manufacturer, said the laymen
have the privilege of bringing the ammu-
milton from the magazines to the mission
aries, who are the men behind the guns.
A large number of sectional meetings
were held throughout the various churches.
at which the topic under discussion was
missionary work in foreign lands.

Spring
HumOrs

It doesn't make any difference
whether you believe in the modern
theory and speak of the aus of dis
eases as referable to germs, microbes
or bacilli, or whether you use the old
er and better understood terms of
"humors" and "blood diseases
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures them all
JUST IHE SAME 1t cures those
eruptions, boils and pimples which are
SO likely to appear in the Spring;
cures scrofula diseases in their most
tenacious forms; cures salt rheum or
eczema and relieves the itching and
burning; adapts itself equally well
to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles due to generally
weak condition and thin, anemic
blood; cures nervous troubles, which,
in nine cases oHt of ten, exist because
the impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food; cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health.
This is not merely modern theory but
it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has had such remarkable
success along these lines that it is not
too much to say it is the best Spring

nerve tonic that money al buy.

ATLANTA. Ga. April 27.-The action of
Populist conventions I'm several Northern
States in indorsing Hon. Thomas f. Wat
son, of Georgia, and naming him for first
place on the ticket, has caused something
of a stir in political circles all over the
South. The association of Mr.. Watson's

report that he has decided to accept the
nomination and that he was considering
who should present his name. In view of
this report MIR. Watson to-day made the
following final declaration: Under no cir
cumstances would 1 accept any nomination
or any office. Please number me among
the politically dead, and let me henceforth

AFTER TRUST OFFICERS.
Gates and Lambert May BE Arrested
on Complaint of Stockholders.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The Times to-
opments in the affairs of the American
Steel and Wire Company likely TO cause a
sensation were made known yesterday (Fri-
day.. Summonses are now In the hands of
the law firm of Lamb & Voss for Chairman
John w. Gates. Of the %company's board Of
directors. and John Lambert the president.
both of whom left this city for Chicago last
Wednesday. The first complainant in the
case was Washington Seligman, of the firm
of Seligman & Van Antwerp. There is a
second complainant whose name has been
withheld. The summonses against Gates
and Lambert were issued on application
made under Section GIL of the penal code OF
this State. headed: Misconduct of officers
and employees of corporations. 1t reads, in
part:
"a director, officer, agent or employe of
any corporation or joint stock association
who knowingly concurs in making or pub
fishing any written report, exhibit or state
ment of its affairs or pecuniary condition.
containing any material statement which is
false, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Some time ago ii was officially stated
that the directors OF the American Steel
and Wire Company, in view of the pros
porous condition of the corporations af-
fairs, intended soon to retire 5000. 900 of
preferred stock, the total amount outstand-
ing of which is s40,000.000 at par. On the
strength of this statement Washington
Seligman and the other client Of Lamb &
Voss bought Steel and Wire preferred
stock. When Mr.. Gates shut down twelve
of the company's mills and gave interviews
on Monday, April Is, in which he was
quoted as saying that the steel and iron
business was in bad shape. and that the
demand for the products of his company
was hardly 80 per cent. in volume OF what
IL should be, the common and preferred
stocks began TO tumble. They nave never
recovered their loss. Mr.. Gates was quoted
as prophesying on the same day that the
price of steel rails would fall to about so
a ton in a week, which IL by no means did,
and the men who later procured summonses
against him specify this statement as I'M
justifiable."
