PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE French for
eign office has announced that the sui
tan has signed an trade for the cxecu-
ton of his engagements with the
French government and that the Fran
co-Turkish dispute is now at an end.
Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of
foreign affairs, wrote Il letter to NJ.
Bapst, councillor Of the French en-
bassy in Constantnople, notifying him
of the signing of the trade, which,
while settling the original French de-
mands, accepts the fresh demands, as
set forth in Il dispatch to the Temps
from Constantnople Friday. together
with an additional clause by which the
sultan pledges himself TO consider as
authorized in full right the foundations.
extensions. constructions and repairs of
the schools and religious and hospita
BILE establishments which France may
desire to carry out if the porte is adj
vised of her intentions and makes no
objections within five months.
France has thus received full salts
faction, and NJ. Delcasse on the re-
ceipt of NJ. Bapst's dispatch telegraph
ed him to inform Tewfk Pasha that
diplomatic relations had been resumed
and that NJ. Bapst should consider linn
self as regularly charged with the af-
fairs of the embassy.
Instructions were also sent to Admi-
raj Caillard ut Mitylene to re-embark
the marines and to return to Greek wa
tiers, which is understood to mean the
vcinage of the island of syria. Admiral
Caillard will remain in the Levant some
time longer.
NJ. Constans, the French ambassador,
will return to Constantinople very
shortly.
The additional clause was conceded
at the request of France in order to pre-
vent future difficulties. such as the
Turkish provincial authorities have oft
en- raised either on their own initiative
or in consequence of instigation by the
porte.
The Temps. which describes the re-
suit as "a brilliant victory for French
diplomacy" says:
I'VE hope the sultan will now under
stand his duties toward the civilized
powers and toward his own subjects
unto whom he has taken solemn en-
gagements which he has always disre
gardCd. Otherwise Europe, which,
thanks to the energetic action of
France. is now able to reassumc at Con-
stantinople the authority she lost seven
years ago, will applaud the initiative
which the signatory powers of the Ber-
lin treaty are reported to be about to
take to eXtort from the sultan the exc
cution of clauses too long fallen into
disuse."

there has been a great demand for Pc

1t is in this manner that Peruna
spreads from town to town and from
state to state. No sort of advertising
could have given Peruna the reputation
it has. The secret of its success is that
1t makes cures. 1t cures old cases of

az hope to live twenty years yet, and
if Peruna helps me in the future as It
has in the past, I don't know why I
can't. The druggists say Peruna is one
of the best selling medicines they have
in stock. &c. r. HARDEN.
Peruna can be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with promptness that
is unequaled by any other remedy.
If cold has settled in any portion Of
the body and produced catarrh, it is gen.
orally thought by people that they must
suffer on year after year without any
hope of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands Of
testimonials that can never be used
attest this fact

CLEVELAND. O., May 21.-Upon ap.
pieation OF Mayor johnson. Judge
Strimple, OF the Common Pleas Court
to-day issued a writ OF mandamus COM
peiling some eight or nine county aud
ltors, now sitting in this city. as a rail.
read tax assessment board to call in
railway officials to testify as to tn.
true value Of their properties. John
son declares that the railroads have
thus far been assessed at from l2 to is
per cent of their value, while the small
er property owners in Cleveland. have
beer taxed at the rate of so per cent or
more. The Mayor averred In his petit
ton that the auditors were c~orruptly
influenced by favors t o them by the
railroad companies to influence their
decision and avoid the making of true
and correct appraisal"
The Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
was the railroad under consideration by
the auditors to-day. Before the writ
was served on thesauditors, they had
assessed the road. although the Mayor
notified them of the courts action.
The Mayor holds as a,result that the
action of the board is illegal and says
he will now ask for an injunction pro-
hibiting the clerk from placing the as
sessment OF the road on record.
