TURKISH INDEMNITY CLAIMS.
State Department Has Received no Money
asYet.

asYet.
The state department has received
no money as yet on account of the
Turkish indemnity claims. Nor has it
had any connection whatever with the
deal which has been made by the
Cramps with the Turkish government
for the inclusion of the amount of the
indemnity in the price to be paid for a
warship by the Turkish government
But it does know that such contract
has been made and it also has had for
its own part promises from the Turk
ish government that the claims shall
be paid

China Negotiations Have Reached Money
Stage.

The China question has virtually
reached the money point. The amount
of the indemnity to be paid will prob.
ably require many weeks ofdiplomatic
consultation. Sir Robert Hart knows
better than anybody else what can be
paid by the Chinese government with
out the complete surrender of her tax
ing and revenue resources to Europe,
but bankers in all the capitals will pre-
fer to have great loan underwritten
by the powers themselves and full
financial control established by an in
ternational commission for the pay ment
of interest and sinking funds service.

United States Again Negotiating for Danish
West Indies.


The negotiation between the govern
ment of the United States and the
government OF Denmark regarding the
Danish West Indies have been in pro-
gress, though Internationally, for the
past two years. In the earlier stages
something was attempted here through
the resident minister of Denmark,
Constantin Bruen.
He had nearly succeeded in his objec
last spring when, through an internal
change in Denmark, the minister of
foreign affairs was displaced The new
minister was opposed to the transfer of
the islands to the United States, and a
wave Of patriotic feeling swept over
the country, to which the government
was obliged to yield, and the negotia-
tions were suspended for time. Now
change has taken place in the public
mind of Denmark, and the present min
lister of foreign affairs has, is believed
here, reluctantly come to the conclus
ion that for financial reasons it is
scarcely able to hold the islands.
Their export trade, nominally done
in large part with the United States.
has been greatly depressed, and though
the commerce might yield sufficient
taxation under restrained intercourse
with the States to make the islands
self-sustaining, at present they are a
drag on Denmark, and the Danish gov
ernment is obliged to make good a
considerable deficit op their account.

CHANGE IN THE TINES.
Uncle Sam Is Now Surprising the OLD
World


In its yearly financial review, the
Berlin Franlsfurter Zeiturg points out
that one of the most important facts
OF the last twelve months has been the
growing influence of the United States
upon the economic situation of Europe.
"Wall street quotations frequeut tly
breathe standard for all other ex-
changes" says the Zeitung. 'The en-
trance of the United States into the
ranks of creditor nations signifies a
change in the times. Ever since the
war with Spain, the United States
government has pursued undeviatingly
world policy of world conquest. Eu-
ropean states must familiarize them
selves with the thought that the United
States will have very weighty word
in determining the new political con
stellations among the leading nations.
American action in undertaking the
Nicaraguan canal also proves that the
military and still more the diplomatic
participation of the United States in
the Chinese troubles shall bear fruit"

Bureau OF Animal Industry Work.
It Is certain that all money spent
by the United States government In
the investigation Of animal diseases
comes back to the people with large
interest. Without the work OF the
Bureau Of Animal Industry pleuro-
pneumonia would still be destroying
our cattle in large numbers annually.
In a recent summary OF the work Of
this bureau the secretary Of agricul-
ture says:
Pleuro-pneumonia, one Of the most
dreaded OF all the contagious diseases
OF animals. early gained great head
way in Europe and millions Of dollars
have been expended in attempts at It's
suppression. Great Britain. France,
and Germany undertook to eradicate
It from their respective territories
long before the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry was established In this country,
and yet OF these only Great Britain
has succeeded in stamping out the
plague.
The disease was brought into this
country as early as 1S4S, and was for
a long time circumscribed within mar
row limits, and had national aid been
given at that time its eradication could
doubtless have been effected at little
cost compared with the amount ex-
pended few years later. after the dis
ease had been communicated to herds
IN many sections Of the country.
The interests involved in the sup
preston Of pleuro-pneumonia we're so
varied in character, and so important
both to the farmer and to commerce,
that the bureau Immediately upon Its
organization undertook the extirpa-
tion OF the disease. THE only object
kept in view should be its complete
extinction" had been said by Dr. d
E. Salmon, and this the bureau ac.
complished IN about five years-lSSs
to 1S92-at a cost Of a little over 81
4 100000
On september 2s. 1892, the Honor
able jeremiah M Rusk, Secretary o.
Agriculture, issued a proclamation, il
which he said Il do, therefore, here
by officially declare that the United
States is free from the disease knowI
as contagious pleuro-pneumonia.
From that day no case Of the diseas'
has been discovered in this country.
The success of the Bureau Of Auima
Industry IN eradicating contagiou
pleuro-pneumonia from the Unitel
States. In so short a time, has beei
equaled IN no other country, and tn
beneficial results Of this achievement
can not be Oyerestimated.
Great Britain suffered a loss Of $40,
100000 a year from pleuro-pneumoni
for more than thirty years. What tn
loss IN the United States would hav
been but for the systematic and per
sistent work Of the Bureau Of Anima
Industry. there is. Of course. no wa
OF estimating, but 1t would probabl
have far exceeded the total amount ap
propriated by congress during the pas
slxty-two years for the prosecution O
agricultural research.
