FooTHoLD IN TURKEY.
Consul at Harput Gives Results oi
 First Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The state department made public extracts from the first annual report of United States Consul Norton at Harput, Turkey. MT. Norton had difficulty in securing his exequatur from Turkey, that govern ment declining at first to grant the nee essafy authorization on the ground that there was no commerce at Harput to warrant it. He says that the, two villa vets of Mamouret-ul-Aziz and Diarbekir compose the consular district, and dur ing 1900 the trade aggregated some thing over $4,OO0,00 evenly divided between exports and imports. There is much to favor the growth of commef- cial ties between Asiatic Turkey and the United States, says MT. Norton. The American educational effort at Harput has had widespread influence. Contact for nearly half century with American teachers, American methods and American family life has led to high admiration for all that bears the stamp of American make and to deep seated confidence in American integri- ty and business principles. The region
 
 for American commercial enterprise.
 The establishment of the consulate in January last, it is stated, was fol- lowed by prompt efforts to open direct trade relations with the United States. Turkish farmers, he says, await with eagerness ito see the workings of reap CTS which have been ordered from America, each of which is expected to perform in day what eighty men now accomplish with existing facilities. Within fifteen months no less than 332 American sewing machines have been disposed of in Mir. Norton's district and have driven from the markets com pletely the English and German ma chimes hitherto in vogue In even less time seventy American life insurance policies have been issued, with pros poets of many more. As to bicycles, the consul says that the one used by him personally was the pioneer in the Har- put district and that .as result of the appearance of this wheel in and about the cities of Mezreh and Harput de- mand has sprung up for bicycles"
 Summing up, MT. Norton says the conditions which are favorable to the gradual building up of a reliable mar ket for American goods in the Harput district are the increasing dissatisfac- ton with the cheap products of Ger many, Austria and even England, the great confidence in American integrity and in the quality of American wares.

TWO SECRETARIES.
Each Party Will Get One at Consti-
 tutiona1 Convention.

CullOIdl OO1f 1ftlLIOu.
 The democrats who will sit in the constitutional convention are hustling Tor one of the secretaryships. There will be two secretaries, one for each political faith, which knocks out the republican ante-election cry that poli- tics would have no footing in the con- vention. If the secretaries will be se- lecteds from the members to the con vention, it is said to be all but settled that Mr Pelton of Clinton. who repre- sented that community in the last house of representatives will be chosen by the republicans, and Attorney Gull folle, who will represent this town. has been asked to run for the post for the democratic side of the convention. Be- fore MT Guilfoile had received the above invitation Joseph Huntington of Lyme was in the field for the place.
 He had canvassed all the democratic delegates to the convention with indif- ferent success, it is said. It was this canvass which stirred the old warriors in the party to action and they there upon saw in MT GuiIfoile the best man for the position, so they promised him their aaid in getting there if, he con sented to run. He has not yet made up his mind to do so. He appears to think that by accepting the place it would interfere with his duty to his constituents. He may not be able 10 try to accomplish what he has placed himself on record as saying should be done. Waterbury needs whole lot of home rule. It is now practically governed. by the legislature in Hart ford, and the entire system is wrong. However. it is apparent that if MT Guilfoile says he would like to be.sec- retary to the democratic side of the convention he can have the appoint ment. But MT Huntington's friends are not idle.

 Boston, Dec 27.-Details of a plan for the reorganization of the Erie Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. with a cap- ital of $32, 100000, involving transfer of control to the American Telephone and Telegraph Co, are made public in circular to the shareholders of the Erie Co to-day.

CAREY HOME BURGLARIzED.
Twice Within Two WeeksLD Dresses.
 Silk Waists and Boa Missing.


 Silk Waists and Boa Missing.
 The home of Mrs Carey and family. who live in the Brady block at S;s South Leonard street, has been entered twice by burglars within q week and the burglars carried away with them goods valued at S100 at the least. Two silk waists, three dresses, a fine new hat, a beautiful boa and number of other valuable things were carried away by the thief or thieves. Tho first theft was committed last Tifurs- day afternoon. There are three clsil. dren in the family, one young efns n and two young ladies. On, Thursday after- noon there was no one at home. The brother and one of the sisters, Julia, were working, the other sister, Nellie, was doing some work at St Joseph'S convent, while Mrs Carey was away visiting. The doors were locked and the key was hanging on a peg in the coal bin, which is on the rear veranda. The key was missing from its usual place when Miss Nellie Carey arriy yed home and she could not find 1t. En- trance was gained by a little child getting in through q window. When the brother arrived home a diligent Spafcn NILS lndue LOT LHt Key WHICH was found on the floor of the coal bin. No one suspected that the house hat been entered.
 The robbery was discovered on Sun- day morning when the young ladies commenced to prepare for church. Their new dresses, hats, silk waists and other things were missing and could not be found. Detective Cahey was notified of the robbery. On Tuesday evening of this week the house was again entered How en- trance was gained on that night is a mystery. The key was with one of the members of the family and no windows were broken. But at any rate very costly boa was stolen. As said before. the value of the goods ta- ken will amount to $100 or more. A rather peculiar fact concerning the burglary is that q gold watch which was i'll one of the rooms was left un- touched. The burglars have not as yet been detected, but there is said to be a clue as to who committed the thefts.

Senator Sends Check for That
 Amount to His Granddaughter.
 Cleveland, Dec 27.-A check for S10,- 900 was among the Christmas presents received by Dan R. and Daisy Gordon Hanna's baby, which was born recent ly at Cottage Hill. their country home, near Ravenna. Senator Hanna, the child's grandfather, sent the check.
 Christmas was a great day at Cot tage Hill. Scores of gifts were re- ceived for the baby. The Ravenna express office never did such a holiday business, and the big increase was due to Baby Hannas presence. Gifts be gan to arrive q week ago. There were big and little packages by the dozen, all of them in boxes or wrap ping which suggested that the contents were more valuable than those of or dinary packages. Nearly 200 were re ceived.

HARRINGTON IN TWISTED.
Will Move His Team to Torrington.-
 Wants One in Winsted Also.

Winsted, Dec 27. Manager George Harrington of the Waterbury polo team was in Winsted this morning and he had a conversation with Manager Kelly of the local amateur team Man ager Harrington said he had decided to move his team from Waterbury 10 Torrington and he would like to place a team in Winsted. He had an option on the Torrington opera house Man ager Kelly told him that he could have the use of the armory in which he was playing his amateur games. Before Harrington left on the 1:3O train he had not fully decided what lie would do.
 If what the players on the Water bury team say is to be believed, there is not much truth in the above dis patch. It is generally understood that the team will be run on the co-opera- tive plan and remain in this city. In fact, three of the players made that statement in the Democrat office this morning. s
