NEGRO IN LONDON HOTEL.
Bishop Gaines's Presence Gave of-

New York. Arg 23.-All the London naners n,,klish articles on the objec- tons of the American patrons of the Stermines Hotel to negroes and the subject is much discussed in the hotels. says a London dispatch to The Journal and Advertiser.
 EXlglishmen side theoretically Wltn tte negroes, while Americans. as a rule, are outspoken the other way.
 Bishop Gains of Atlanta, one of the negro delegates to the Ecumenical Conference, who caused the protest. is still at the hotel. He said in an in terview:
 'I have been staying at this hotel off and on since the beginning of July and was never better treated any where I regret exceedingly to hear that trouble was caused by the arriv- al of Bishops, Arnett. Tanner and Der rick I was in Paris when the pro- test was made.
 II have met Americans even from Texas all over the continent and re- ceived warm greetings from them. During my trip through Holland, Bel gium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France I had not an insult from an American or any one else
 'I sailed from New York on the St. Louis, and was treated like any other cabin passenger. 1 preached on Sun day at the request of Senator Mitchell of Oregon, and General Grosvcnor America would be the lest country in the world if it could get rid of it's race prejudice. Laboring white men in Europe are oppressed as badly as is the negro in America, except when it is a question of law, then the laborer has the same justice as his richer brother, especially in Great Britain. I hope to see the day when it will be the same in America"
 w. Winfield manager of the Anglo American Bank of New York. one of the protesting patrons of the St. Ermins. said:
 "I do not object personally to Bishop Gains or his daughter, who are fine people. They crossed on the steamer with me, and were liked by every one on board He Is a highly intelligent man. But with regard to negroes generally I object strongly to their presence in first-class hotels fre- auented by white people, and protest against the Rriynegea aS6Rzaed ta

lomatic relations between France and Turkey are completely broken off.
 In has been suggested that the French Government issue orders for the bourse to cease dealing in Turkish securities, but it is not likely that this step will be taken as 1t would only injure the French bondholders. The entire Turkish group fell on the bourse today, in some cases going off 10 to 15 francs. According to special dispatch received here from Berne, Munir Bey has already rented a villa there for the use of the Turkish embassy.

France is in Earnest.

New York, Aug. 23.-The French Government is thoroughly in earnest in it's attitude toward Turkey and is fully aware that at the present moment no foreign power would raise objections to a French fleet resorting to most dras- tic measures, says a Paris dispatch to The Tribune.
 According to information that has reached Paris, the real reason Tor the Sultan changing his mind and declining to fulfill his promise was due to his hopes that the obStreperouS clamor ot the Nationalist Party of France would induce M. Delcasse, the Minister of Foreign Affairs to disavow Constans.
 The Sultan's great objection to the French concession is that if the Con- stantinople quays were under the con- trol of a French or other foreign com pany there would be disquieting facil- ities for the landing of conspirators and their baggage. But Constans gave the Sultan the option of buying back the dangerous quays by paying 41,000,0O0 francs for them within six months and provided the Porte with a scheme for raising the cash.
 An important factor of the situation is that the Sultan is known to be in great fear of the young Turk party whose headquarters are in France and who have for years been conspiring to get rid of Abdul Hamid. ;n fact, the sole duty of Munir Bey. the Turkish Ambassador in Paris, tor the last four years has been to watch these young Turks and to send confidential reports to the Yildiz kiosk about their doings Munir Bey just now Is absent from
 France. but 'tn the case Constans should decide to exert his authority to break off diplomatic relations with Turkey one of the first steps of the French government would be to in- form Munir Bey that he could not re- enter France. Thereby the Sultan would be kept in ignorance of the ma chinations of the young Turk conspir- ators. and it is thought that this would have upon the timorous but crafty character of Abdul Hamid greater ef- feet than even a naval demonstration. At all events the French government has several other trump cards up its sleeve to play before resorting to naval demonstrations or acts of hostility, such as the seizure of customs dues or bombardmenI.

CASTRO SENDS TROOPS.
venezuelans Conveyed to the colom-
 bian Frontier.

New York. Aug. 23.-President Castro has sent the gunboats Zumbador and Miranda and other Venezuelan war vessels from La Guayra and Coro with troops under the command of General Davila to Rio Nacha. on the coast of Colombia, says the Willem- stad. Curacoa, correspondent of The Herald. Eight hundred men are in the expedition.
 These troops will assist the Colom- bian revolutionists under General Uribe- Uribe. President Castro has al so sent a good supply of ammunition.
 News from Venezuela, confirms the report that the republic is absolutely quiet, notwithstanding a fear of a gen eral uprising on the Colombian from tier. due to the proclamation of Presi- dent Castro that Venezuela was being attacked by the Conservative govern ment of Colombia.
 There Is excellent authority for the statement that a new Venezuelan rev. olution led by Liberals is being ar ranged. The leader of this revolution is now in New York.
 The political situation in Venezuela is more than serious. No one is allow ed to leave the country without special permission At the Limon River, where an American company employs 300 men one morning only fifteen were found on the eremises, the others hav- ing been forcibly recruited during the night to defend the country.

Situation Critical.

New York. Aug. 23.-oscar s. Strauss. formerly United States Minister to Turkey, is of the opinion that in the present situation as between France and Turkey much will depend upon the attitude of England. Austria. Rou- mania and Greece, with Russia, of course. the most important factor out side of the two principals.
 "The situation has a serious side" said MT. Strauss, "inasmuch as the ob- jecting countries. namely, England, Austria. Roumania and Greece in pur- suance of whose protests the Sultan has taken his present Nand. are nor ally bound to eide with Turkey. I use the word morally in the ordinary sense though I question whether it should be used in respect to interna- tional affairs.
 MT. Straus said that the probabilities, however, are all in favor of a peaceful settlement, though the situation is one of great seriousness containing an ele ment of danger It was MT. Straus who developed the diplomatic plans by which the Sublime Porte was brought to settle the American indemnity claims He believes that the position Cf France today is vastly weaker than that occupied by the United States then.
 Constans Given Free Rein.
 Paris. Aug 25, (5:3O p. m.)-While the officials of the French Foreign Of flee decline to confirm or deny the dis patch of the Associated Press from Constantinople, announcing that the French Ambassador has sent the Sultan a letter which is in the nature of an ultimatum. they admit having received telegram from NJ. Constans which has been laid before the council now sitting at the Elysee Palace Only three ministers were not present. The Premier, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, the Minister of Agriculture. NJ. Dupuy. and the Minister of Public Works, M IBau- din, are absent from Paris.
 The correspondent learns that M Constans has been given a free hand. Any step he finds proper to take will be fully indorsed.
 The Foreign Minister, M. Delcasse, if he deems it necessary, will withdraw the French embassy from Constantino- pie and Munir Bey, the Turkish Am bassador, who is now in Switzerland will be notified not to return to Paris, in which case Munir Bey will probably withdraw the legation to Berne, as he is also accredited as minister to Swift zerland.
 No naval demonstration is yet con- templated but the Sultan will probably be seriously inconvenienced by the closure of the Turkish embassy here which is the center of the espionage maintained to watch the numerous young Turks and other disaffected Ot- toman subjects and voluntary exiles who make their headquarters in Paris, and who will have a free hand if dips

OLD OIL RATE
IS RESTORED
Re-established Pending
Rehearing Of the
Case.

The Railroad Commissioners called a
special meeting yesterday to consider the
petition Of the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe railroad companies for a re-
hearing of the Bakersfield oil-rate case.
Commissioner e. B. Edison was in the
chair and Blackstock was also present.
Laumeister did rot attend the meeting.
Edison opened the meeting by stating
that the two railroad companies had Pc
titioned for a iehearing of the case. He
read the Southern Pacific Companys ar
gument for a new trial. and at its close
stated that he thought that enough evil
dence had not been submitted in the case
and that he was in favor of rehearing.
Commissioner Blackstock seconded the
motion and offered a resolution to the ef-
fest that pending the rehearing of tho
case the new rate Of 81 $40 cents, ordered
by the Commissioners for transportation
of oil from Bakersfield to San Francisco
be discontinued and that the old rate OF
AZ cents be restored.
This motion was carried and Chairman
Edison ordered that the rehearing of the
case be set for November IL.
This action on the part of the Commits
sioners created great surprise. 1t was
thought that when the board made tho
recent order reducing the price of the
Transportation of oil it would be agreeable
TO all parties concerned.
