POWERS
AGAINST
The TURK
European Countries Unite In
Strong Note Demanding I'm.
mediate and SwseplngRsforms

Paris, Feb. 1s-The Russian foreign
minister. Count Lamsdorff. has communi-
Gated to the French government the fact
that Russia received yesterday the last
Of the adherences OF the European pow
ers to the joint note OF Turkey on the
subject of reforms. thus making the ac-
ton OF the powers unanimous.
lie accordingly directed M. Zinovief,
the Russian ambassador at Constanti-
nople, to proceed in company with Baron
Won Calice. the Austrian ambassador.
10 the sultan to present the joint note
today. 1t was at first intended TO pre-
sent the Austrian note first. but this was
reconsidered in order to give added force
to the joint personal presentation.
1t was also desired to secure the full ad-
herence OF Germany. which was some
what conditional at first. The unani-
nous action decided upon yesterday in
cludes that OF Germany. The note as
finally framed strikes out all reference
TO Macedonia, because II was considered
that the designation Of one part OF the
country by name would increase the anti
foreign agitation which the powers are
seeking TO check.
The note Is generaliZed so as TO cover
all the localities where Christians reside.
the only locality specified being three
villages In northern Turkey in which most
OF the Christians live. The protection Of
the lives and the complete safeguarding
of the interests OF the Christians form the
chief features of the note.
In view OF the unanlmity OF the Powers
the officials here consider that the Sui
tan Ia certain to accept the proposed re-
forms but IL Is not intended to terminate
the question with the presentation OF the
noted. II will be followed speedily by fur
ther joint action, including sending con-
suls OF the various Powers throughout
the Christian regions to see that protec-
tion is actually given and that the re-
forms are really carried out. The authort-
ties do not hesitate TO say that the note
Is only the first step In the plans OF the
Powers for the betterment OF the condi-
tion OF the peoples under Turkish rule.
An official here said that while the U.
g. was not concerned In the action direct
ly yet the protection demanded for all
Christians should be indirectly beneficial
TO the American Christians In Turkey.

MINORITY FAILS TO
GET BACK BILLS.

could not make reply for the committee.
Mr.. Mccarthy stated that In his opinion
the bills were held back at the behest OF
the Republican party.
Mr. Maroney asked Mr. Mccarthy IL nc
spoke for the union OF conductors ana
motorman.
Mr.. Mccarthy replied that he was
speaking for the re-enactment OF the
law, at the suggestion Of his conscience
and his duty.
MIR. Palmer presented some figures to
bear out the contention that tho minority
represented about 81 per cent OF the peo-
ple OF the state and the majority ~ per
cent.
Mr.. Fitzgerald asked Mr.. Palmer II he
had figured out the onstituencies the
minority represented and asked Mr.
Palmer II he asked 10 represent the Re
publicans OF Providence or Pawtucket
Mr.. Palmer replied that he did
ARRAIGNs THE MAJORITY.
Mr.. Fitzgerald then made a bitter ar
raignment OF the Republican party. lie
held the bill was not new measure. IL
had been presented TO successivelegisla-
lures from 1899 10 1902, when IL was pass
ed The Republicans had boasted that
the party was responsible for the pas
sage OF the bill 1t was fact that
favors had been shown by the
general assembly TO suCn an extent as
10 bring down the condemnation OF the
people.
IL was fact that the Republicans, NJ
tef making claims 10 passing the bill, has
gone down on their knees and had stulu-
fed themselves, because they had stated
that the law was bad and had prac-
tically repealed It,
He then read the following from Re-
publican campaign document:
1.-THE Republican party has always rec
ognized the dignity and importance OF
labor and pledges itself In the future. as
I'm the past. to the enactment OF all laws
necessary for the Improvement OF the
condition of the workingman. In this con-
nection the electors OF the state are called
TO the fact that the ten-hour law, the
factory inspection- -lawr-the weekiy-Pay-
ment law. the law limiting the hours OF
labor OF street railway employees. the fifty
eight hour law, the union label law. and
all kindred legislation upon our statute
books were enacted by legislatures Re-
publican In both branches"
II was evident enough that the Repub-
lican party was not actuated by any love
for the people but II was matter OF po-
litical expediency.
Mr. Murphy followed In a line OF argu-
ment to the effect that the people were
interested in legislation and wondering
why IL was that the bills had not been
given consideration.

A Reception to Senator Frye.

The Lewiston board Of trade gave re-
ception and banquet at city hall last Thurs
day evening complimentary to U. S. Sena-
tor William P. Frye. About 800 sat down
to the tables at O'Clock, a large number
being ladies. The menu cards bore on the
front cover fine vignette portrait of Sena-
tor Frye.
After about an hour spent at the tables,
John F. Lamb, president of the board Of
trade, presented Senator Frye, who was
very warmly received. The senator spoke
for half an hour, taking for his subject the
State of Maine. He began by expressing
his appreciation of the honor done him by
his fellow townsmen. He spoke of the two
great influences which have been at work
during the last Is years for the advance
ment of the State-the grange and the
boards Of trade. The former had freed the
farmers wives and mothers from lives of
drudgery, the latter had worked for the
material advancement of the State. In clos
ing the Senator recalled Names promi-
nence in the seth Congress, when she had
the president of the senate, the ranking
member of the committee on appropria-
tons, the chairman of the naval committee,
the speaker of the house and chairman of
the committee on ways and means and the
chairman of the naval committee and the
committee on public buildings and grounds.
"No other State in the United States
could ever boast of an official representa-
ton like that" said the Senator.
Ex-Mayor McGillicuddy was the only
other speaker. He was called upon at the
suggestion of Senator Frye.
