DENIED At VIENNA
Rumored 0Vertures by Russia
to Turkey.
ABOUT OLD TREATY
PORTE SAID TO BE GREATLY
ALARMED.
Austrian Ambassador at Constanti-
nople Authority for Positive
Denial Of the Report.

VIENNA, October 1.-THE Austro-Hun-
garian foreign office entirely discredits the
report, telegraphed from Bucharest, Rou-
mania, to the London Daily Mail, that Rus
sia has proposed to Turkey a revival Of the
Unkiar-Skelessi treaty of 1885, which estab-
lished Russian alliance. under the terms
of which the government of Turkey under
took at RuSSia's request to exclude in time
of war all foreign warships from the Black
Sea, while Russia undertook at Turkeys re-
quest to furnish her aid by land and sea If
necessary. 1t Is pointed out at the foreign
office here that all the European powers
are concerned in the existing treaties gov
erning the passage Of the Dardanelles by
foreign warships and that it is impossible
for Russia to modify them without the con-
sent Of the co-signatories.
Fhe Austrian ambassador at Constanti-
nople has also assured the foreign Office In
this city that no political matters we.e dis
cussed during the recent visit to the sultan
Of the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, who
is said to have made the proposition re-
ferred to.
Text of the Dispatch.
LONDON, October 17.-In dispatch from
Bucharest, Roumania, the correspondent OF
the Daily Mail says he has just returned
IL Oul SoHSldNtiIople, WlSIe lS lilNSSli6olSu
the reported Russian diplomatic advances
to Turkey. He says he is able to affirm
positively that the Grand Duke Nicholas of
Russia, during his recent visit to the sultan,
proposed to Turkey the revival of the I'm
kiar-Skelessi treaty, which was concluded
in June Of 1893, and which established
Russo-Turkish alliance.
The treaty, continues the correspondent
of the Daily Mail. which really placed
Turkey in the position of subject state Of
Russia, lasted for eight years; but, ac-
count of the opposition of the western
powers it was not renewed. Russia now
proposes not only to renew it, but 10 intro
duce articles Strengthening It's purport.
The Turkish court and government were
thrown into CONSERVATION, fearing it was
Russia's intentions to enforce her wishes.
Some important ministers were disposed to
entertain the proposal, but a majority Of
the influential ministers were against il.
In an editorial article on the dispatch Of
its Bucharest correspondent, the Daily Mail
says 1t thinks this news explains the recent
rumors of the Russian attempt to regain
control of the Dardanelles. The paper
sounds an alarmist note of warning to
Great Britain, Austria and Germany
against this new 'thundercloud' in the
east.

Secretary Explains Where and How

Are Held.
TO AID THE BANKS

CHICAGO, October 17.-Secretary Shaw
was seen here today. and in speaking Of
his latest effort to relieve the money mar
ket, as explained in dispatches from Wash
ington today, said:
What amount Of bond will be delivered
on this proposition 1 cannot say, but have
assurances indicating that the purchase will
aggregate at least s15.O0O.OOO face value.
which will release a little over $40, 0O0, 600.
What few bonds there are are held
either by trust estates that would not be
released at any price or by those who need
neither the money nor the interest and pre-
fer to hold the government securities. AS
soon as the government becomes a pur-
chaser prices advance Conditions which
have made the purchase of bonds advisable
are by no means local. The September
statement revealed the fact that the banks
Of Lincoln, Neb., which should have had
25 per cent reserve, had less than 10 per
cent, and the banks of Des Moines, which
should have had % per cent. had less than
20 per cent. While the money for the
bonds will go largely to eastern holders, it
will very naturally find its way into all
channels of trade"

Warsaw Ind, where he will make speech
tonight going from there to Detroit, where
he will speak tomorrow night

systems Of relief employed will be effective
to prevent money being too tight. All the
time, however, the treasury continues to
draw in money from the remainder Of the
country, the receipts exceeding the expen-
