French Minister at Constantinople
Breaks OFF Diplomatic Relations.
CHARGES BREACHES OF FAITH
Trouble is Over the Settlement
of Disputed French Claims.
ACTION TAKEN TODAY

CONSTANTINOPLE. August 21.-The
French ambassador, NJ. Constans, has no.
titled the sultans first secretary that all
diplomatic relations between France and
Turkey are broken off, and that the am
bassador has informed his government to
this effect.
M. Constans communicated direct with
the sultan because the latest negotiations
were transacted with the sultan person.
ally.
The ambassador justifes his action on the
ground that the sultan broke his direct,
personal promise, given to NJ Constans, at
an audience in the Yildiz Palace, Thurs
day, regarding the purchase of the quays
and the settlement of the disputed French
claims. The foreign minister also gave for
NAL assurances that the agreement would
be carried out: so, in view of this double
breach of faith, NJ Constans holds that it
is impossible for France to continue diplo-
matte relations with Turkey.
The American minister at Constantinople,
Mr.. Leishman, has not been heard from
relative to the reported crisis in Franco
Turkish affairs, nor is the matter of a
character to make it likely that he would
advise the authorities here.

of the new leaders of the union, who con-

The committeeman at once resigned and
all but three of them left already, 1t Is said,

facturers stating that they wished to go
back to work at once.
morrow, and by Monday all Of the strikers,
1t is believed, will be at work again.

house allowance to one meal a day.
Another proclamation was issued yester-
day in the name Of 1.-The people OF Tampa
and surrounding country" 1t urges that

tories. It closes with the statement: 1--WE
proclaim to the cigar makers that the citi-
zens will not allow any oppression or
abuses or ill-treatment imposed upon them"

WARDEN HAWK HERE.
Making Plans for Opening the New

Making Plans for Opening the New
Atlanta Penitentiary.
S. A. Hawk of West Virginia, who has
been appointed warden of the new gov
ernment penitentiary at Atlanta, is now in
the city making plans for the opening of
that institution in October. Heretofore
the government has boarded OUT it's pris-
oners at various state penitentiaries. Most
of the District of Columbia convicts have
of late years been sent to Moundsvlle, in
West Virginia, and the authorities there
are eagerly inquiring how soon they are
to be relieved of this contingent. Ohio
tails also have good many government
prisoners.
Several interesting incidents have arisen
in connection with the opening of the new
penitentiary. The bill as presented to the
congressional committee for manning it,
called for a photographer and record
keeper among other employees, meaning
some one to apply the Bertillion system
of records. A clerk at the Capitol could
not understand why a photographer was
needed in a jail, and so changed it to a
"stenographer and record keeper" which
is quite another matter. All the positions
except three are under the classified serv-
fee; those are the warden, chaplain and
physician

Decision of Powers Regarding the
Chinese Forts.
The press dispatches from Pekin saying
that the Chinese forts will be destroyed,
even though the subject Is omitted from
the protocol, appears to be the result Of
discussion which has been going on for
some time Some question has existed as
to whether the forts should be destroyed
or ''dismantled." In any event the origi-
nal program contemplated that they should
be rendered innocuous, and the reported
plan is probably a middle ground which
has been chosen for leaving to the military
authorities such attention to the forts as
they may regard necessary.

Alleged Effort to Wreck the MOnOn-
gaheIa Works.
BY Associated Press
PITTSBURG, August 21.-The strike
situation was not materially changed to-
day. The strikers have not called any
more men out and none of the plans of the
manufacturers for additional assumptions
with non-union men have matured.
The feeling of irritation at Wellsville has
been increased by the appointment of
thirty strike breakers as special officers to
guard the plant Of the American Sheet
Steel Company, and the police here have
had to disperse noisy crowds at the re-
Gently tied-up tube plants, but there has
been no serious trouble at any point. 1t
is claimed that an attempt was made last
evening to fire the Monongahela works OF
the American Tin Plate Company, and the
police have been called into the case to run
the supposed incendiary down. According
to the story told by John Schuster. general
labor boss of the plant, a pressure gauge
was knocked off an eight-nch gas main
and burning paper thrown into the place
sion and fire. He says he plugged the
break before the brand was thrown and
saved the works. The strikers indignant
ly deny that they had anything to do with
any plot to wreck the plant and are inclin-
ed to discredit Schuster's story entirely.
No Break in Carnegie Mills.
The promised break in the Carnegie prop
critics has not yet come. AS far as out
ward appearances go, the lower Union mill
in this city has not been affected, but the
strikers insist that they have seriously i'm
paired it, The strike leaders are trying
hard to gain a foothold in the Clark mill,
which is running with non-union men, but
that property, too, seems to be going at
practically full capacity. 1t is quieter at
Duquesne, but the fight for supremacy
there is by no means over.
Veryl Preston of the United States steel
corporation was in the city today and con-
ferred with the officials of the Carnegie
company. He and the other officials are
still silent as to their plans. The some
what shop-wOrn rumor of peace has again
been revived, but the mildest suggestion
of it at authoritative places produces long
