THE USUAL TURKISH POLICY.
Non-Execution of Agreements by Turkey May Lead to Remind
 erFrom the United States.

Constantinople, Aug. 19.-The non execution by the Turkish government of agreements, reached long ago, on several questions affecting the inter- ests of American citizens, has led to somewhat strained relations between the United States legation and the porte. The United States minister, John G. A. Leishman, has informed the latter that he will not discuss other matters until the terms of the settlements already agreed upon are carried ou. Diplomatic circles antiei- pate further undue delay, and that this may possibly lead to sharp reminder from the United States.

1HE BARTHOuN MYSTERY.
The Chicago Police Think They Are Nearing a Solution of the
 Puzzling Case.
THEY WILL SWEAT ED C0USSELMaaS.
He Evidently Has Some Guilty Knowledge, But Thus Far Has Refused to Divulge What He Knows, Notwithstanding the Headings of His Wife to Do So.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Developments in the Bartholin-M Mitchell murder mys- tery have led the police to believe they are nearer the solution of the problem that has been puzzling them for over d week than ever before. Edward Councilman, the intimate friend of William J. Bartholin, who was held for possible knowledge of the crimes, was taken before Justice Quinn. Monday, and held for ten days in bonds of $lO,000, charged with be- ing accessory after the fact in the murders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Anne Bartholin. Counselman admit ted he had met Bartholin, and that Bartholin said he was i'll trouble over Minnie Mitchell. The most damaging testimony as to Counselman's pos sible guilty knowledge of the mur- ders of the two women came from new witness whom the police found Monday. Wm. Allen, fellow workman of Counselman's. AL len said that Counselman had told him repeatedly that he knew
  tholin was in. When Allen suggested that Counselman tell the police what he knew, the latter said he would do no such thing; that Bartholin was his friend, and that he was too shrewd for the police. Allen said that Coun- selman even expressed the opinion that Bartholin had esily had time to ,r1 A hlt Counselman expressed the greatest anxiety over the sace, as it developed in the newspapers, and that frequently Counselman would walk from the suburb of Tarvey, where the two men worked, as far as kensington, to se- cure the papers. For three days Coun- selman did not do any work because of nervousness.
 The police have the testimony of another witness, who is positive he saw Counselman and Bartholin to- gether on August 7-the day the body of Minnie Mitchell was found.
 It is the purpose of the police to put Counselman through the sweat ing ordeal, and they expect valuable results. Counselman's wife begged his repeatedly to tell the police all he knew, but so far Counselman has been obdurate. \ note from Bar tholin to Counselman asking for money, and saying that the writer was in trouble, is held by the police. It was this note which Counselman had tried to secure from his wife by choking her that led to his arrest. The postponed inquest of the body of Minnie Mitchell has been resumed. It is probable that verdict will be re- turned with recommendation that the men in custody he held to the grand jury.
