MORGAN AND TURKEY.
Financier Considering Unification
of Turkish Debt.

Paris, July l4.-Although J. p. Nor
gan went to London Wednesday night,
the Bourse. the clubs. the banks, the
chamber of deputies, the senate, the
fashionable cafes, every place whert
men and money and those DESTROYS of
having it congregate-still resound with
the name of the American financier.
The cause of the fresh outbreak is the
belief that Mr.. Morgan is planning a
financial scheme far more far-reaching
than anything he has vet achieved.
Rumor has it that he is considering
the unifcation of the Turkish debt.
No one here can speak with authority,
but it is certain that Mr.. Morgan has
received long and important communi-
cations over the amount involved in
this most momentous undertaking, be-
cause he who unifes this debt will hold
Turkey in the hollow of his hand The
sultan knows this. hence he will not
treat with the Deutsch bank. the Credit
Lyonnaise or the Societe Generate.
He thinks safer hands are those of the
Americans. whose country can have no
designs upon the Ottoman empire.
The German emperor is good friend
of Turkey and may have talked over
the matter with the sultan.

FTCHETTE GUILTY.
Minneapolis Police Captain CON
yicted of Traffi king in Positions.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July l2.-Po-
lice Captain John Fitchette, formerly
known as Coffee john was convict
ed of trafficking in positions on the po-
lice force. The specific charge was that
he accepted 5000 from John Long for
procuring the appointment OF the latter
as policeman. While the offense Is
onlv misdemeanor and does not IN
volve penitentiary sentence. the con-
viction is regarded as of great lmpor-
lance in the current municipal corrup-
ton expose, because of the implication
of other officials. The prosecuting at
torney points out that that 1t would
have been impossible for Captain Fitch
cite TO have sold appointments to the
police force unless he was in collision
with others
The appointment of Long was made
last August, under the administration
of Mayor Ames. He had been dropped
from the pay rolls when Ames assumed
office six months ago. Testimony
showed that David Johnson, acting as
Longs attorney, paid 5000 to Fitchette,
and when he called at the captains res
taurant the next day to be informed OF
his clients appointment, he saw Mayor
Ames in his place.

vAT|cAN's REPLY
The Pope Cannot Accept Propo-
sition to Recall friars With
in a Certain Period.

Washington, July IA cablegram
has been received at the war depart
ment from Governor Taft, transmitting
the reply of the vatican to the pro-
posals of the United States government
The contract which the vatican pro-
poses shall be signed by both parties
comprises II articles.
The answer of the vatican is COM
piled in the order of Judge Taft's note
of July %. First comes the note,
which says that all the studies of the
vatican were conferred 20 render more
clear, more precise and definite, the
conditions between the Holy See and
the Philippine government. In fact,
the note begs, if something further
with this intention be proposed, that it
be freely expressed, adding that it
would be considered with great pleas
ure. The introduction proceeds in this
tone until it comes to the question of
the recall of the friars. 1t then says
the vatican cannot accept the PROPOSE
ton to recall the friars within the fixed
period; such recall not being justified
by reasons of force majeure, it would
be contrary to the rights guaranteed by
the treaty Of Paris, and would put the
Holy See. in conflict with Spain. 1t
asks:
''If the United States government
cannot order the withdrawal of the
friars, how can the pope do so. especial
ly when it has been proved that all the
accusations made against them were
partly false, partly exaggerated and
partly inexact?''
However, the VATICAN promises that
it will try to introduce into the Philip
pines clergy of other nationalities, es-
pecially Americans, gradually, as they
are found ready or are adapted to the
purpose.
The note agrees that the friars shall
not return to the parishes they left, and
where their presence could provoke
trouble
The note ends by saying the pope is
willing that the school question in the
Philippines be not insisted on now;~but
that his holiness hopes his representa-
tive in Manila may have an understand
ing with Judge Taft on this point,
which is of importance in country al
most exclusively Catholic.

STRIKE CONTINUED
Chicago Freight Handlers Refuse
to Accept Terms Offered
by the Roads.

Chicago, July IL. - The striking
freight handlers voted to refuse the
terms presented by the railroads and
to continue the strike despite official
refusal of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor to help them.
President Curran, of the Freight
Handlers Union, advocated accepting
the terms offered by the RAILROADS. and
returning to work to await an opportu-
nifty to retaliate upon the Transfers
Union and the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. His proposition was lost in the
excitement, and by standing vote, the
strikers not only decided TO stay out,
but to fight to the last ditch without
seeking cooperation and support.
A crisis came to the freight handlers
strike when the local unions refused to
accept a settlement proposed by the
railroads and voted TO fight the battle
to the last ditch.
Transfers quit work in sympathy,
and Hugh McGee, president of the
Truckmen's Union, gave utterance to
the most serious statements of the day.
1--WE have not given our men author
ity to strike and are declaring against
such action. We are insisting on our
men living up to the contracts we have
made with our employers, but they will
not listen to this, and l believe 1000
teamsters will be mixed up in the
struggle before night. We have done
our part and intend to remain true TO
our trust. but if the men strike despite
all our efforts to restrain them, we are
powerless and cannot be responsible for
their actions"

EvACUATE TEN TSlN.
Secretary Hay Secures Withdrawal
of Foreign Forces.

Washington, July IL. - Secretary
Hays prompt action upon the appeal of
the Chinese government, through Yuan
Sui Kai and Minister Wa relative to
the evacuation of Tien Tsin. has met
with success. The foreign ministers
who have stood in the way of evacua-
ton will receive instructions from their
home governments, and although one
or two minor points remain TO be adj
justed, it is believed that Tien Tsin
will soon be turned over to the Chinese
authorities.
Secretary Hay, doubling whether
anything could be accomplished direct
ly through the diplomats at Picking,
though action there had been contem-
plated, decided to address himself
directly to the governments interested
in the Chinese question, and maintain
ing forces in Tien Tsin.
This was done through the American
ambassadors and ministers resident at
the various European courts and Tokyo.
Answers have been received from near
ly all of these. The latest TO come to
hand were from France and Germany,
and quite unexpectedly they have all
proved to be favorable to the United
States contention. The powers are
now agreed to instruct their generals
at Tien Tsin to abandon the condition
sought to be imposed as precedent TO
evacuation that, save the small police
force OF 800 men, the Chinese military
forces must be kept at distance or not
less than 80 kilometers from Tien
Tsin.
