London, April M.-The Constainople cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, telegraph
ing Sunday, says: ''Washington's ener-
getic attitude and the threat Of a naval
demonstration have made a great impress
sion at the palace. 1t Is expected today
that the question will become acute"
New York, April 23.--In the EnumerieaI
conference today, George Washburn,
president Of Roberts College in Constan-
tinople. said: Contrary to a seeming
belief. missionaries in Turkey have no
political purposes whatever. All they ask
of the Turkish government is that they
be given the rights guaranteed by the
treaties existing between the countries.
The positions taken by American mission
aries is the same as the position taken by
the United States government. In the
language of Mr.. Blain: For us to ask
of the Turkish government rights for mis-
sionaries that we do not ask for mer-
chants would be unjust The missionar-
les arer confident the government will
protect the treaty rights OF all its citi-
zens and they are willing to leave the
situation in the hands of the president
and the able secretary of state"

TWO SLICES Of TURKEY
Carvings of Kaiser and Gar
in Asia Minor
ENGLAND PAID THE PRICE
Of Williams Passivity in the
Boer War

New York, April A.-Rev. DR.. George
Washburn, president of Roberts college,
Constantinople, speaking at a dinner of
the Brooklyn Congregational club last
night, said: ''The political transitions
which have taken place in Turkey in the
last few weeks are the most important
that have occurred in years in the en-
pire. You have probably read of some
German railroad concessions obtained by
story back of these concessions. When
the war broke out IN South Africa the
kaiser went to England and there was
one thing he carried away home with
him in reward for keeping his hand out
of the affair in Africa. 1t was a conces-
sion for all the railways in the western
part Of Asiatic Turkey for the Germans.
These concessions gave the Germans the
right to construct all the railways in
Asia Minor west Of line from Constanti-
nople to the Persian Gulf It now ap-
pears that as Germany made compact
with England, so Russian has made a
to construct all the roads In the western
part Of the empire, so is Russia to con-
struct all roads in the eastern part. These
two powers, with the consent of England,
are dividing Turkey into two spheres of
influence, in the belief that when the final
partition comes the sphere which is
under German influence will become Ger
man and the sphere which is under Rus
sian influence viii become Russian. By
mobilizing troops upon his borders the
two powers have compelled the sultan to
agree to this. The line between the two
spheres Of influence runs from a little
town on the Black Sea to the Pension
gulf. This is the arrangement the sultan
has been compelled to accept and the
arrangement that has meant so much
politically to Turkey in the last few
weeks

man Smith of Michigan and George W.

announced speakers, and they sailed on
an Old Dominion steamer. When Mr..
Smith saw Captain Callisen's vessel with
the Boer flag waving he got the Old Do
minion captain, who was also a Boer
sympathizer, to run in near the Polar
Star and then the American colors on the
American ship were dipped to the stand

One Of the British captains saw the COM
pliment and sent a protest to the English
ambassador at Washington, who In turn
sent it to the State department. The
State department declined to interfere on
the grounds that a merchant marine man
has the right to dip his colors TO any
thing he sees fit. and has also the right
to fly whatever he desires at his mast
head. Thus a threatened complication
because of an American recognition OF a

Bartlett Sinclair Enrages At
torney Robertson.
EXCITING SCENE ENSUES
In the Committee Room. With
out Any Damage.

Washington, April 24-The Couer
DAlene investigating committee. in ex-
ecutiye session, today voted adversely
and on party lines on a motion by Rep
| resentative Sulzer to summon as wit
nesses Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson
Of Idaho, Father Becker, a priest who
sought admission to the prison, and Ed
ward Boice, president Of the Western
Federation OF Miners, who was mentioned
in Governor Steunenberg's testimony.
motion by Representative Slayden OF
Texas to limit each witness to six hours
was similarly disposed of.
At the open session this afternoon D.
Bartlett Sinclair continued his testimony
concerning his management Of affairs in
the Couer D'Alenes. An exciting encoun-
ter occurred when Mr.. Sinclair gave the
lie to Attorney Robertson, representing
the miners. Robertson sprang for SIN
clair. aiming a blow at his face. Several
congressman interviewed and held Robert
son and Sinclair from coming together.
An officer appeared on the scene but his
ooINICSo- were not TeQQliSO, DIS OIuCT AdO
been restored.
The encounter occurred while Mr.. Sim
clair was testifying of his order forbid
ding meeting at the miners cemetery
on July II last, commecorating the deaths
resulting In the riots of 1892. He said his
notice did not forbid women from assem-
bling to put flowers on the graves. At
torney Robertson contradicted the wit
ness and said it did specifically prohibit
women from assembling.
do you ask that as a question, or
state it as a fact?' asked Sinclair.
ST state it as fact" replied Mr. Rob
ertson.
1T is a lie,'' responded Sinclair.
Robertson made alunge at Sinclair, but
the distance was too great to permit
blow. Representatives Sulzer, Hay, Esch
and other members sprang forward to
stop the fracas. In the few minutes that
the melee was at its height members
were standing on and jumping over the
large committee table, seeking to get at
the contestants. The latter were in a
confused tangle of chairs and witnesses
on the further side of the table. After
Robertson's first lupge he rushed on Sin
clair, who was sitting in the witness
stand, unprepared for the onslaught
The two went over in crash on the floor
and were then separated. No actual
blows were struck
Sinclair when order was restored, re-
sumed his seat in the witness chair, and
after vigorous cautionary remarks by
the chairman against such disorders, re-
sumed his recital. Neither of the con-
testants showed any outward mark of
the affray. Mr.. Sinclair completed his di-
rect testimony during the afternoon. In
view of the excitement it was deemed
best not to open the cross examination,
which will be conducted by Mr.. Robert
son, and the committee adjourned until
10 a. m. tomorrow. Mr.. Sinclair left the
room Joking over the occurrence.
