AT CoNsTANTINOPLE.
Some of the SuItnn's Women Wanted
to Get Rid of the Treasurer, and
They Hatched an Arson Plot.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July D.-Owing to
the mystery and secrecy enshrouding all
occurrences in the Yildiz Palace, the real
cause of the recent fire there has only now
transpired The incident the result
OF an intrigue by the ladies OF the harem
against the lady treasurer Of the harem,
OF whom they wished to be rid. At the
instisation OF the conspirators, negress
placed materials for a cOnha grafton in
a corridor Of the palace and lighted them
under conditions TO east suspicion upon
the lady treasurer. The desired result
was attained. The lady treasurer was
not only dismissed. but she was imprisoned
in the palace. Her relatives are influen-
tial and have been endeavoring 10 obtain
her release. There have been numerous
arrests in consequence OF the attempt at
incendiarism. and some OF the women have
been subjected TO torture in the hope or
extracting confessions from them.
The Sultan first believed the conspiracy
directed against himself. The fire
did not occur in a room adjoining that
used by the Sultan, first reported, but

NO EXPORT BOUNTY PAID
ITALY DENIES THAT HER SUGAR
SHIPPERS ARE GIVEN MONEY.
Lengthy Communication in Regard to
Secretary Cages Action In Inn
posing DifferentiaI Duty.

WASHINGTON, July 1s-Secretary Gage
now has before him a lengthy communica-
ton from the Italian government, for
warded 10 him by the State Department.
relative TO his order placing a differentiai
duty On Italian sugar because of informa-
tion received that Italy paid bounty on
her sugar exports. Mr.. Cages order was
issued about a month ago. and soon there
after a brief declaration was made by the
ment that Italy paid no export duty on
sugar. This declaration has now been sup
plemented oy a full presentation of the
Italian position on the subject. The conn
munication was received Jew days ago.
II is temperate in tone, but presents quite
positively the Italian view OF the law
now In force. 1t is not so much an ar6u-
ment as a reference to the law, in order
TO show that nothing analogous 10 a bounty
is paid. Emphasis is laid upon two points,
first, that Italy does not. in fact, pay any
bounty, and does not, up 10 the present
time, export any sugar; second, that If
the production of Italian sugar reached
a point where exports can be made the
law does not give any rebate to the pro-
ducers in case they export their goods.
MT. Cages answer will be made through
the State Department, and probably Will
be ready 10 be communicated to the ltal-
ian authorities within the next few days.

MEXICO AND THIS COUNTRY.
An Interesting Forecast of Times and
Relation of the Future.
Mexican Herald.


The great railway combinations involv-
ing Mexican roads. combinations either IN
a state of incipience or well advanced TO
realization. are part of continental busi-
ness movement which appears TO be ire
sistible. Already the smelling interest here
has been amalgamated with the smelter
combination of the United States. and this
directly affects the mining interests OF this
country. The two countries maintain
tariffs the one against the other. but these
obstacles have no effect in retarding the
unification Of the business OF the two ma
tons. Every year sees more American
capital invested here: every year sees
Mexico exporting more OF her minerals
and general merchandise 10 the rich and
powerful republic on her northern border.
Mexico, when she encouraged the build
ing of railways 10 the United States. joined
the big continental commercial combina-
ton which now embraces Canada, tho
American Union and this country. Mexico
stands in relation to the United States
somewhat like a New World India. pro-
WIDER of tropical productions. More than
that, she is a seller OF mineral products 10
Americans. and this on huge scale. IL
is useless for sentimentalists TO declaim
against the growing commercial relations
of the United States and Mexico; they are
entirely natural and enforced. IL is profit
able for Mexico 70 have so wealthy ard
heavily consuming a customer at her very
doors. 1t is a unique position for any trop-
ical country.
So far from the commercial intimacy
of the two countries being a menace 10
the political integrity Of Mexico, we re-
curity. The absorption OF Mexico by tho
United States would be an injury TO
both countries The American Republic.
If il is 10 endure as republic. must
rest on the consent OF homogeneous
people. To enlarge the basis OF citi-
zenship. taking I'm many millions Of peo-
pie speaking another language and with
distinct traditions. would weaken the Amer
lean political fabric. Mexico would also
lose by being DETECTED from her natural line
OF social and political evolution. There 10
every reason that the countries should re-
main separate and sovereign nations.
Those capitalists OF the United States
who have money invested here will some
day be glad that their funds are placed
in a country where the tradition OF prop
erty rights is not threatened by the new
communism. Nobody here breaches So
ciahsm or any form OF war on private
property. Mexico Is essentially most con-
sentative: she will be the last country on
the North American continent 10 swing
into the current Of socialism. And this is
something that far-seeing capitalists in the
United States compre bend.

RAM, outward bound with $1,000 cases OF
oil for Hong Kong. was discovered TO be
aground and on fire just outside OF Sandy

graphed 10 this city and number Of tugs
and fire-boats went 10 her assistance. She
later pulled off. to~ed inside the Hook
and anchored near the shore. The tugs
poured tons Of water into her, but the fire
kept eating its way through the hold. The
crew Of the Allen and all their effects were
saved. The fire started shortly after the
noon hour, how, no one knows. At 1880
o'clock tonight the Allen was still burn
ing. though five of the fireboats were pour
ing water into her. The Aliens cargo OF
oil Is worth $4,000.

Junket Proposed for Dewey.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-The suggestion
was made to-day by rear admiral In
high standing that Admiral Dewey should
be given command of a large squadron,
comprising the best types Of our new ships,
TO be present at the coronation Of King
Edward VII The Navy Department has
not thus far taken up the question of naval
representation at this event, but the sug-
gestion concerning Admiral Dewey and a
large squadron of fine ships meets with
general approval among high naval Of
ficials. The ships recently ordered TO the
European station are not considered fair
representatives of our new navy, the AL
bany being n foreign-bult ship. the Chicago
one of the earlykproducts of the new navy
and the Nashville comparatively small
gunboat. 1t is expected that the naval
pageant at the time of the coronation will
bring together some of the finest ships pos
sessed by European countries. and for that
reason IL is urged that the United States
should be represented by some of its best
ships under Admiral Dewey.

Russian and Indian Wheat Crops.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The State De-
partment is in receipt of interesting reports
concerning the wheat crops of Russia and
India According TO a report from Con-
sui General Holloway, at St. Petersburg,
there are good reasons TO hope that the
wheat harvest of 1901 will exceed that OF
1900. The spring wheat is more promising
than the winter crop, the latter having suf-
fered heavily from various causes. How
ever. Ii is stated that the loss in the WIN
ter crop will be balanced by the amount of
spring wheat sown.
Consul General Patterson. at Calcutta.
states that the wheat yield for India, as
whole, is estimated at about 6.5SoO0O tons,
about S11 per cent. more than the decennial
average, and this under adverse conditions,
such as cold weather, hail. insects and rust.
The export of wheat from India this year,
the consul general says, probably will be
greatly increased and may reach from TO-
OO00 900 to 5000 900 bushels. Consul Fee, at
Bombay, estimates lndia's harvest for this
year at $500. 900 tons, OF 100000 more than
last year. The estimated area of growing
wheat for the year is %, 500 900 acres, being
about 100000 acres more than the previous

Pauncefote's views Commended.

WASHINGTON July lS-The interview
with Lord Pauncefote in London relative
to the canal and other questions published
this morning has attracted much atten-
ton, and the sentiments expressed meet
with commentator. 1t is admitted that the
interview very fairly sets out the present
status of the relations between the United
States and England. The reference TO the
reconvention OF the high joint commission
next fall is taken TO indicate a willingness
on the part OF the British government 10
yield to the Canadian demand for a re-
sumption of the suspended meetings OF this
body Our own government had concluded
that better results were promised by direct
negotiations between Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote. but If the Canadian gov
eminent prefers to take up the threads of
the negotiations where they were dropped
by the commissioners two years ago there
will be no objection on our part, the
Canadian government has been fully adj
vised on what terms negotiations might
be profitably continued

DEPENDS ON THE MINERS
OUTCOME OF FIREMEN'S STRIKE
RESTS WITH COAL DIGGERS.
Members of the Latter Organization
Ordered to Return to Work
without Delay.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 1S.-The coal
operators and the striking stationary fire
men of the Wyoming valley take opposite
views of the action of the executive COM
mittee of the United Mine Workers, which
met in Scranton to-day. The committee de-
cided that all firemen who are members
of the United Mine Workers must return
TO work The operators think It is a severe
blow TO the men on strike and one from
which they cannot recover On the other
hand the strikers claim that it will not
affect them much as comparatively few of
the firemen belong to the United Mine
Workers.
1t would seem that a settlement of the
strike now rested with the mine employees
themselves and not with the operators. The
United Mine Workers have apparently de-
clared for one policy and the stationary
engineers for another. There are 10000 min
ers in the Wyoming and Lackawanna re-
gion and only about 1,S00 firemen. If the
coal companies can secure enough fremen
who are members of the United Mine
Workers to do their work in the boiler
rooms there is nothing to prevent them
from starting up their collieries A great
many of the operators are confident that
they can secure the rec uired number. The
strikers, however, hold that they cannot
and that the strike is as far from settle
ment as ever. The hosting engineers at a
meeting in this city to-day voted to stand
with the firemen in their struggle.
Some nonunion firemen at the Maltby
collieries OF the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany were stoned by strikers as they
were changing shifts this morning, and
several were hurt, but none seriously. No
shots were fired. The company has sent
men to guard the mines and prevent riot
ing.
A break occurred to-day in the ranks of
the strikers at Nanticoke. The Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company started UP two of its
collieries and was able TO hoist coal. At
work, but gradually the number of appli-
cants for work increased and at ] p. m. it
was reported that all places were filed At
one colliery the men are reported TO have
returned to work almost in body. An of
ncial of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company, which employs 5000 men and
boys, said this afternoon that the company
mad received proposition from the men to
return to work soon as a sufficient num-
Der OF firemen could be procured to keep
up steam.
SCRANTON, Pa, July 1S.-Thc executive
ers, in special session here this afternoon
adopted a resolution providing that all
stationary hremen, members of the mine
workers organization who have quit work
because or the strike of the International
Association OF Stationary Firemen shall
be ordered back to work at once by Dis
trict President Nichols. Many of these
men had already deserted to join their
trades organization. The action thus clear
~ defines the position of the United Mine
Monday that there will be no sympathy
strike ordered.
