ron still at Beirut.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l-The State De-
partment to-day received a long cablegram
from Minister Leishman. at Constantinople.

cept the informal statement that it con-
tanned no alarming. news and was in part
concerned with routine business. With
drawal of the American squadron from
Beirut. ii was said. has not yet been de-
termined on. and no intimation has been

dents intentions in the matter. Communi-
cations have reached the State Depart

something that will put a stop TO the
atrocities in Turkey. Ii is said that this
pressure does not emanate from the mis-
sionaries.
officials at the State Department are ret
icent about the probability of the
United States giving expression to
the feeling with which the alleged
atrocities i'm Turkey are viewed by
the people OF the United States. but they
say that reports from Turkey show that
the deeds daily perpetrated in sections of
that country are of such a character as
to shock civilization. and necessarily are
of deep concern TO the United States.

CALLS LYNCHING MURDER
DELAWARE CHIEF JUSTICE MAKES
STRONG CHARGE TO GRAND JURY.
Says the Summary Execution of Geo.
White Must he Punished and the
States Fair Name Cleared.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept 21-Chief
Justice Lore, of the Delaware Supreme
Court, to-day delivered a strong charge to
the grand jury, which is considering the
criminal work of the county courts. After
reciting the details of the murder on June
Is of Helen Bishop by George White, and
the subsequent lynching of White by a
mob, Justice Lore said:
THE crime of George White and his
punishment are not before us On his body
human vengeance has done its work. If
the matter concerned George White alone,
there would be nothing left for our con-
sheraton. But for the first time the law
less and revolving crime of lynching has
invaded this State. We have heard of
lynching as a punishment for hOrSe-Steal-
ing In the South and West, and for
homcides, rapes and other crimes else
where, but We fiattered ourselves that such
scenes could not occur in our community,
composed, as II is, largely of that good old
English stock whose obedience to law has
been one of the secrets of our civilization
and the safety of our people. We are now
confronted, however. with this crime and
ton in the future by acquiescence in its
preparation, make such crime here
after improbable. if not impossible, by deal
ing out adequate punishment?
mo good citizen. we are persuaded, can
regard the lynching of George White in any
other light than as brutal crime, and as
a fragrant violation of law.
Gentlemen, in this country make
our laws. They are our will formally eX-
pressed. 1t is the duty of every good man
to obey the law himself and to see that il
Is obeyed by others so far as he may.
Lynching is a crime against the law of both
God and man. Every wilful participant in
such an act Is a murderer. No man has a
right to commit that crime because he be-
lileves or fears that some other person who
is entrusted with the execution of the law
will fail or has failed in the performance
of his duty.
Under the law, we know what rights
are. and, in the main, we find that they are
fairly attained and enforced. No human
| laws or human institutions are perfect This
no reasonable man will expect.
"Lynching and mob law, their promoters
and encouragers. whether they be of high
or low degree. should receive favors at
There must be government or nongovern-
ment. The line of cleavage is clear. AL
history teaches that the prevalence of mob
law is the end of free government. Obedi-
ence TO law is the life of our Republic
I'm the obedience to the oath you have
taken, and in your duty to your State, we
ask you to so act that the crime of lynch.

as by your action that end may be attained
and that thesperpetrators of this crime and

THE" CANFIELD'S TRIAL.
Plea of Not Guilty Withdrawn and
Indictment Demurred To.

BINGHAMTON, N. ", Sept. 21-The case
of Richard Garfield. the alleged gambling
house keeper of New York city. came up on
change of venue at the opening of the Sep
TENDER term of the Supreme Court to-day.
John c. Stanchfeld, of Elmira, appeared for
the defendant, and Henry j. Gray, repre-
senting the district attorneys office of New
York, for the people.
Mr.. Stanchfield demanded an immediate
trial for his client. Mr.. Gray said that
papers had been served on the district at
torney giving notice of an action to dis
miss the indictments. If, after the first
term of court following the finding of the
indictment he was not tried, if ready then
his counsel could ask that the Indictment
be dismissed. The prisoner had no right TO
fix the time for trial. Mr.. Gray said he
was not ready for trial. Mr.. Stanchfield in
sisted on the production of affidavits. On
this papers were handed them and the
matters was then adjourned until afternoon.
At the afternoon session of court Mr..
Stanchfield asked permission TO withdraw
the plea of not guilty and demur to the
indictment. Judge Sewell granted his re-
quest and the demurrer will be filed to-
morrow to be argued at a later date.

the claims in his own name and not in the
name of the deputy, and why did he set
forth in the claims that the several
amounts were due him for his services as
prosecuting attorney, and not that the
amounts were due him for the employment
of such deputy?
IL the allowances were for deputy why
did Mr.. Hoffman wait until after the ex-
piration of his first term and his re-elec-
ton before presenting the claim for 81, OOt
that covered the two years of his first
term?
The News says that "such allowance was
made to all prosecutors until it was cut
off by the present fee and salary law
under the construction put on the law by
the county council. and that Mr. Holtz-
mans service was before the fee and salary
law was I'm effect"
AS a matter of fact, the fee and salary
law, which was passed in 1895, had no bear
ing on the case. Allowances of that kind
were made to prosecuting attorneys until
a member of the county council asked that
he be shown the statute that authorized
such allowances. The statute was not
forthcoming and the allowances stopped
then and there.
1t may be pointed out that the fact that
other prosecutors did the same thing which
the records show Mr.. Hoffman did is nc
excuse for Mr.. Hoffman, especially as
Mr.. Hoffman is now coming before the
people of Indianapolis as reform" can
didate for mayor.

RESTORES LUsTRE TO PEARLS.


HINCKLEY, n. Y, Sept. PA local
jeweler says he has made discovery con-
corning gems that he thinks will very
nearly revolutionize the art of curing pearls
that have died" and become lusterless.
Wallace Reichtman, the discoverer, was
up at Moose river two years ago, and
found there were some shellfish in the
river While he was looking at the mus
sells he recollected that his wife had been
mourning about the pearl which he gave
her on their wedding day fourteen years
ago. 1t was fine gem then. 1t weighed
FIVE and one-eighth grains. But five years
ago the pink luster began to fade. Its life
went out in fiickers, and gradually the
color changed to a gray that was neither
beautiful nor interesting. Thinking of this,
Reichtman was suddenly stricken as he
says. with an idea.
The result of that idea was that on
Tuesday night his wife wore the pearl
which she valued so much to a little party,
where the beauty of Ii excited much COM
ment. Reichtman then told the story of
how he had renovated the gem. He
brought a dozen of the largest mussels
from Moose river when he came from his
hunting trip two years ago. These he
placed i'm the spring from which he gets
the house water by means of a hydraulic
ram. The spring comes from gravel
soil in which limestone particles are nu-
merous, aud has a constant temperature
of from 81 to 60 degrees.
LII coupe ol weeks i.eich'"ah .eho"eu
the pearl from it's setting and placed Ii
within the mantle lobes of the largest
mussel The mussel was not disturbed
until it came TO the surface of the spring
bottom, late i'm April of 1902. At intervals
during the summer there were changes that
caused Reichtman to hope for the future
of the gem. Ii was plain by the end of the
summer that layer of nacre was being de-
posted on the old pearl, as if by its original
maker in the Indian Sea. Early this spring
the pearl almost brilliant. but still
had a dull cast i'm it's color which detracted
much from Its beauty. But this shade dis
appeared weeks ago. and since that time
the pearl has fully come to life, with new
beauty in its luster and added weight. The
pearl now weighs within an eighth of a
grain of six grains.
Reichtman expects to start a pearl reno
waiting farm out on the Mississippi river.
where the mussels from which buttons are
made are found-with an occasional pearl
of value.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Canadian Attorney General Fails to
Make Expected Points.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Attorney General
Finlay at to-day's session of the Alaskan
Boundary Commission continued his argu-
ment in behalf of Canada. citing the utter
ances of American officials and passages
in the American case which he claimed up
held the Canadian contention.
The attorney general claimed that the
inlets of Alaska must be considered terri
toria, waters. In this connection Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone called the attor-
ney generals attention 10 the contention of
the Norwegian commissioners in the Boring
Sea arbitration that the waters OF the
Fjords OF Norway were territorial and the
coast of that peninsula consequently repre-
sented line drawn from headland TO head
land The attorney general claimed that
this principle should be applied to Alaska.
Lord lElverStone. apparently, was unwill-
ing to bind himself to such a sweeping APP
pllcation, and suggested that owing TO geo.
graphical peculiarities it impossible
To apply to Alaska principles applicable
elsewhere
The attorney general quoted the conten-
ton of the United States in the Boring Sea
arbitration in support OF the Canadian view
or territorial waters. but as the American
contention did not prevail on that occasion
Lord Alverstone said it could not now be
used In favor of Canada. Attorney Gen.
eral Finlay occupied the entire day. He
Will conclude his argument tomorrow.

matter Of the appointment of the retiring
vail of Beirut to be vail of Brusa. At

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 21.-The unfavor
able replies of Austria and Russia to Bull
garia's last note and the fact that none OF
the other great powers has yet replied,
coupled with the allegations that one of the
powers is encouraging the military party at
Yildiz Kiosk, tend to create less hopeful
feeling here. There is, however, no per-
ceptible change in the situation.
Various reports are in circulation regard
ing negotiations between Turkey and Bull
garia looking to solution of the Mace
DOMAIN difficulty. The Anevnik says Tur-
key has presented note to Bulgaria ask
ing for the latter's assistance i'm reaching
a peaceable solution. Bulgaria replied that
Turkey must end the massacres. withdraw
her frontier forces, guarantee peace and
protection to the villagers desiring to re-
turn to their homes. amnesty to the politica,
offenders and introduce such governmental
reforms as will pacify Macedonia and
Adrianople. The Bulgarian reply concluded:
IF the present situation continues the
Bulgarian government will be compelled to
yield to public opinion and send an army
to the frontier
1t appears doubtful that the government
has sent such answer, but the statement
published represents in some degree the
governments attitude.
According to information received at
revolutionary headquarters from Monastir,
120 persons persisted in the flames of their
burning villages near kastoria. More than
loo bodies of women and children are said
to be lying unburied in the fields and on
the roads around that place.
According to fugitives who have arrived
at Ria from Djoumaia, a serious engage
ment has occurred at Pekin. near Melnik,
sixty-fve miles from Salonica, in which
the Turks said to have lost 500 men
killed, including two colonies. Most OF the
villages in the district of Melnik are in
flames.
1t is reported that 500 Turks were killed
with dynamite while fighting against body
of insurgents in the Kresna defile.
