The weather conditions of the week end

Atlantic and east gulf states and Ten

heavy rains have damaged crops and in
terfered with work, and In some districts
washed lands and caused foundations.
Drought conditions still prevail in portions
of Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas, in the last
named state becoming serious in localities,
and rain is also needed in Michigan, Me-

portions Of Kansas and Missouri. The

Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Relations Broken Off.

On August %, M. Constans COM
municated with the porte, fixing Au-
gust 26 as the date for his departure;
and as the engagements were still
unkept, M. Constans left Constanti-

posthaste from the sultan, begging
NJ. Constans to return to Therapia
and promising that everything would
be satisfactorily settled. M. Constans
declined to return, declaring the time
for promises was past and that it
was for the sultan to fulfill his un-
dertakings.
During the absence from his>post Of
NJ. Constans, the French ambassador
to Turkey, NJ. Bapst, councillor of the
embassy, will act as charge d'affaires.
Concert of Powers Ended.
Washington, Aug. 2s.-It is feared
in official circles here that the with
drawal of the French ambassador
from Constantinople marks the dis
solution of the concert of European
powers under which heGntegrity of
Turkey was guaranteed. By the
treaty of Berlin all the great powers
of Europe subscribed to an a agreement
to refrain from any act that would
tend to the destruction of the Ottoman
empire. This action was taken to
forestall what were conceived to be
the designs of Russia to seize on Turk
ish territory, and Russia herself was
led to subscribe to the agreement by
force of circumstances. Although
several times severely strained, not
ably by such events as the last war
between Turkey and Greece, this pact
has so far endured without amend
ment, but it is apprehended now that
If the, action of France is carried out
to the extreme indicated in the dis
patches each of the other signatory
powers will feel obliged in self-protec-
ton to disregard the agreement and
press upon Turkey the vast financial
and other claims that have accumu-
lated in the past quarter of century
with result of disrupting the pres
ent Turkish government.

women parted, Barbara going home to
make preparation, with her mothers
help, for her marriage.
If you aren't suited with the situa-
ton you've found, you can come back
to us any time" Mr.. Ward said, as his
wife kissed Barbara and made no at
tempt to hide her sorrow plainly
shown by the tears on her face.
THANK you," responded Barbara,
laughing through her tears, for il
was real grief for her to go; II am
afraid shall never come back. But,
II you will come and see us, I will
promise to bake some of your favor
lite dishes for you"
She waved her hand to them as
they both came to the door and babe
her an affeotionate farewell and
soon turned the corner, with grave
consciousness that one very impor-
tant chapter in her life had come to a
close and new one had begun.
Three months after. Barbara was
married at her mothers home. The
few friends who had been faithful to
her during the days of her service
were present, the Wards, Mr.. and
Mrs. Vane, and Mrs. Dillingham;, to.
gether with three of the girls from
the stores whose friendship for Bar
bara had daily grown In meaning. A
seminary classmate of Morton's
spoke the words of the service in
which God joined these two eager,

they twain became one flesh, and an
other home was added to those that
already on the earth are the best
witness to the possibilities Of Heaven
among men.

Complied With at Present for
Reasons Explained.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Before pro

Mr.. Hull. chairman of Tie committee
on military affairs, reported back the
De Arrnond resolution calling upon

ton relative to the alleged action of
Gen. Chaffee in protesting against the
looting in China, with the recommcn-
dation that it lie on the table. Ac-
companying the report Mr. Hull sub
nil ted the letter of the secretary OF
war, already published, explaining
the difficulty in obtaining the re-
quired information and pointing out
that it could not be procured until
after the expiration of the present
congress.
Mr. De Almond (Mo.), the author
Of the resolution, said that he had
been moved to introduce it hy a para
graph in the newspapers, which WAS
very creditable to Gen. Lhatlee il
which it was recited that he had re-
buked or protested against the con-
duct of an officer Of foreign govern
mcnt in regard to he lo,tiEs IN Chi
ma. The paragraph indicated that
neither the American commander nor
the American soldiers were response
BILE for the barbarty and dishonesty
which had taken place i'll that unhap.

procure official confirmation of the
reports, but the reasons given by the

resolution were entirely salise 'ctory
