MRS. BLOCKS PROPERTY.
Government Has Abandoned It's Title
and Release Filed.

The Secretary of the Interior has signed a
release of lot 1, square lib. abandoning the
title vested in the United States govern
ment and transferring the property to Jo-
hanna c. Block, her heirs and assigns. The
lot in question is In the vicinity Of the
Washington Asylum, and is one of the
pieces Of property which fell to the lot OF
the general government in the original divi-
sion Of the District. The property was
never used. Through an inadvertance It
was listed for taxation several years ago
and the parties assigned as owners. not
knowing they were such. allowed the taxes
to accumulate until It was listed among the
property to be sold for delinquent taxes.
At the sale the lot was purchased by Mrs.
Block, and on examining the title it was
found that the lot belonged to the United
States government. and had never been the
property of the person named as owner in
the tax sale nor had this party ever claimed
ownership.
Appeal was had to Congress during the
last session. and a bill was passed by both
Houses and signed by the President author
izing the Secretary of the Interior to sign
a release in favor of the lot to Mrs. Block.
This release was filed today, and Mrs. Block
now has clear title to the property.

WAR CLOUD IN EAST
Sultan of Turkey Mobilizing
Big Army
TO GO TO MACEDONIA
AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA WILL
MAKE PROTEST. 20
France May Also Enter the Alliance
Against the Sick Man Of
Europe.
TO GO TO MACEDONIA

PARIS, February 7.-Oficial advices have
been received here confirming the report
that the Sultan of Turkey has ordered the
immediate mobilization Of 100000 troops for
military demonstration in Macedonia
The step taken is regarded with appre-
hension by the French officials as being
likely to involve complications between
Turkey and Russia and Austria. 1t is said
that the Russian and Austrian governments
have agreed on a firm note to the sultan
which will be presented within the next few
days. insisting on administrative and off,
cial reforms in Macedonia.
Although France will not be a party to
the note, she will approve of 1t. 1t is con-
sidered that the sultanS mobilization Of
such vast army is clearly an effort to
forestall the presentation of this note. The
mobilization of so many troops is regarded
here as unwise and dangerous, especially as
1t is said that the soldiers who are to be
brought into Macedonia from Asiatic Tur-
key are Semi-barbarous levies and are hos
tile to Christians, which will tend to inau-
gurate another series of massacres. 1t Is
understood the powers are exchanging
views as to the course to be pursued toward
the mobilization of Turkish troops.
The New York Herald's European edi-
tion publishes the following today: All ves-
sells of the Turkish Mahsousse Navigation
Company have been requisitioned for trans
ports.
This decision is likely to bring about seri-
GUS complications and will certainly stop
the progress of the negotiations for the
unification of the debt.
: Turkeys army, which has been reorgan-
lied by German military officers, and which
the war with Greece proved to be an effec-
tive military weapon, is estimated to con-
sist of 100000 men, of whom 5S3, 600 men
are infantry. The war strength in 1898 was
about 100000 men.

MORE RIOTS EXPECTED
SITUATION AT MONTREAL BE-
COMES ACUTE AGAIN.
Mayor Cochran and Lieut.. Col. Gordon
Prepare to Call Out
Troops.

MONTREAL, February 1.-THE employees
or the Montreal street railway, at meeting
held early today, refused to ratify the terms
agreed upon by their committee and Presi-
dent Forget Of the railway company for a
settlement of the strike which began Thurs
day night.
President Forget met committee of the
strikers last night at the request of Mayor
Cochran After some discussion President
Forget announced that the company was
ready to grant the men an advance Of 10
per cent In wages, recognize the union and
relnstate men recently discharged unless
their dismissal had beenafor just cause.
The committee seemedsweil satisfied with
the terms offered, and It was generally be-
ieved that the end of the strike was in
sight. A meeting Of the employees was
called at 1:3O am. to ratify the terms of
settlement.
1t soon became apparent that a majority
of the men would be satisfied with nothing
short of a complete capitulation on the part
Of the railway companyt
Speeches were made urging the men to
refuse the terms of settlement unless they
included certain articles of the mems de-
mands which required an Increase in the
working force Of the company, and provided
that no suspensions whatever were to be
Conservative leaders among the men
urged the strikers to accept the concessions
offered them, but they were cried down,
and when a voteswas taken the proposed
basis of settlement was defeated.
1t is expected that the company officials
will make a determined effort to run some
cars today. They have asked for police pro-
lection. &t
Lieutenant Colonel Gordon. deputy officer
commanding the fifth military district, has
been in consultation with Mayor Cochran.
Measures were discussed for the protection
of street railway property in the event of
the strike becoming serious.
The Duke of Connaught Hussars and the
Victoria Rifles have been unofflcially in
formed to be in readiness to mobilize at a
moments notice.
Another conference between the strikers
and the company and thescity council repre-
sentatives is being held this afternoon. The
leaders and others are urging the men to
accept the terms offered by the company.
