Turk RenudIates Responsibillty.

Turk RePuoldISS hSSPoHS'Dh'NJ'
Constantinople, Oct. 31.-The Turk
ish government is already preparing
TO resist the anticipated demand of
the United States for repayment OF
the ransom money to secure the re-
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the alb
Quoted American missionary. The
porte repudiates all responsibility for
the kidnapping of Miss Stone and main
tains that the United States has no
claim against Turkey and that, there
fore, the latter is Justified in refusing
to recoup the United States for the
money expended in her rescue. Turk
ish resistance of any claims will be
based upon these contentious: That
Miss Stone, although warned of the
dangers of the road, persisted in traV-
cling; that she did not notify the
authorities of her intentions, in order
to obtain an escort which precaution
even the foreign consuls always take
when travelling in such outlying, In
secure districts of the empire; that
the brigands who kidnapped Miss
stone and her companion were Bull
garians, that the coup was planned
in Bulgaria and that sanctuary was
found in Bulgarian territory.

Naval Demonstration intended to
Bring the Turk to Terms-Porte
Repudiates Responsibility For
Abduction OF Miss Stone.

Paris, oct. s1.-omcials of the
French foreign ONCE confirm the re-
mort that a division of the French
Mediterranean fleet, composed of three
ibattleships and two cruisers, under
command of Admiral Caillard. has
proceeded from ToulOn to the Levant
to make a naval demonstration against
Turkey.
An official of the foreign office com
municating the foregoing, said; The
squadron sailed with sealed orders
and proceeds first to Greek port the
island of SYRIA, think, where the adj
mIral will receive definite instructions
as to carrying out his sealed orders
am not at liberty to say what the
sealed orders are, but the seizure OF
the customs at Smyrna would probably
be a very effective way of convincing
the sultan that Frances patience is
exhausted and that we have decided
to enforce an immediate execution OF
the Turkish governments engage
ments. We, however, are very hope
FIJI that the sultan will not compel us
to go to that extreme. Our squadron
will not reach the Greek port before
Sunday. The Turkish government
has thus still three days grace, ana
we trust, in the meantime to receive
complete satisfaction. We have been
very considerate toward Turkey, hop
ing. up to the last moment, that she
would carry out her engagements ana
Il is only now, when we find that there
ia no serious indication of her doing
40. tflat we have reluctantly resolved
to put stronger pressure to bear In
the shane of a naval demonstration.
1t is now two months since the French
ambassador, NJ. Constants, left Con
stantinople. His departure failed to
produce the desired effect. on the
contrary even the quays and Tublnl
questions, which were settled by the
sultan's trade, remain unadjusted. me
internal situation in the Turkish en-
pire deferred us, for some time from
taking drastic measures to enforce
our demands. But the dignity OF
France could not permit the present
state of affairs to be prolonged in
definitely. we sincerely hope the sui
tan will fully appreciate the fact that
we cannot any longer be trifed WITH
and relieve us of taking further steps
to safeguard our interests"
The official was asked what would
happen in the event of the French
squadron being ordered to seize the
customs and IL the Turkish authori-
ties resisted, and he replied: That
is very unlikely contingency, but If
1T occurred, / suppose we shall have
to lombard the port. we do not want
bloodshed, and do not believe there
will be any occasion for it,"

Sale Of the Blue Ridge Road.

The decree issued by Circuit Judge
Goff for the sale Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad was received here yesterday
and filed in the United States Circuit
Court. The sale will take place at
Anderson on July is next. Mr.. Thomas
P. Cothran, of Greenville, is appointed
special Master to dispose of the prop
erty at public auction and the upset
price is fixee at 100000. The road
will ha bought in by, the Southern Rail
way, which controls the pI operty, and
for the purpose Of obtaining deed /.
The line will be operated as usual.
although the Southern will extend
thereafter from Charleston to Wal
halla. instead of from Charleston to
Anderson.
Frederick M. Colston is named MS
complainant in the suit, which is
brought against the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad, now the property
of the Southern. The Columbia and
Greenville Railroad holds Judgment
against the Blue Ridge for more than
$4,000, 1000.
The sale will include all of the rights,
properties and franchises of the Blue
Ridge Railroad. extending from An
derson to Walhalla, distance of about
thirty-three miles. The Blue Ridge
Railroad, of Georgia, the nan,o of the
company which started to build across
the mountains from Wnlhalla, n dis
tance of seventeen miles, and the Ten
nessee River Railroad, in North Caro-
lima, surveyed for seventy four miles,
are included under the decree. These
latter properties, however, were never
used, although there has been talk
from time to time that eventually the
through line. would be cut over the
mountains.
OF late years the Blue Ridge Railroad
has figured extensively in railroad ru-
mora, and it was limited that the line
was being sought by e company which
contemplated building from Port Royal
to Knoxville, the Boone Railroad, az it
was more commonly known. For the
past few years the Blue Ridge has been
under the management of Receiver H.
c. Beattie, and it has been operated as
o branch of the Southern. The line
was owned by the Columbia and
Greenviile, by reason of the heavy
judgments outstanding, and when the
Columbia and Greenville passed into
the hands OF the Southern this latter
road naturally assumed the judgments.
The prime object of the sale is to givS
the Southern q deed to the Blue Ridge.
The Rlne Ridge is enc Of tho 0itiiest
roads in the State and has kept it's in
dividual organization and name longer
than many other of the smaller roll
roads in South Carolina.
The outright purchase of the line by
the Southern will doubtless give uni
versal satisfaction to the towns along
the rOute, and a. good train service will
be operated as Observation-Disclosures and
Courier.

they may carry ont their schemes un-

kinley's term, it is argued, automatic
colonial system will be so thoroughly
saddled on the country that an Ella of
Democratic rule would not seriously
disturb it. On the other hand, if the
Democrats should gain control Of the
House next fall, the results to the
President and his nolicy would be mcst
serious. Therefore, it is believed that
they will stick at nothing to make
themselves safe--even going 80 far as
to cut down the representation of the

Livingston, of G eorgia, inclines to this
view.

to promulgate o rule which will exclude

tive was taken sometime ago by Edwin

General. April 13 circular letter was
sent to 373 publishers, inviting each to
submit his opinion of the justice and
efa acacy of the rule which it is proposed
by the Department. to adopt. Ofcourse
only those papers were selected which
were known to be friendly to the De-
partment's view, hence the replies re-
