his regret at the excesses committed by
the Turkish troops In the vilayets OF Mon

with the Sultan. who showed himself most
optimistic. The latter declared that the in
surrection was drawing to a CLOSE. In fact,

PARKS CAUSES FRICTION
DISGRACED NEW YORK LABOR
LEADER AT KANSAS CITY.
His Advent Causes q Stir Among Dele
gates to the Convention of Bridge
and Iron Workers.

KANSAS CITY. Sept 2o.-Samuel Parks.
Of New York. arrived in this city tonight
to attend the convention of the Interna-
tional Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
which will meet here tomorrow. His ar
rival aroused much activity among the del
egates already here, an activity which pre-
sages lively fight when the committee on
credentials shall report to the convention
in the morning.
Parks is member of local union No. 2,
which was suspended by President Buch-
anan after Parks's recent Imprisonment,
and another local union No. 2 was estab-
lished. The executive committee of the or
ganization did not ratify the action of Pres
ident Buchanan, and Parks and his parti-
sans assert that the action of the president
is. therefore, null and void. The local union
of which Parks was. or is. a member in
New York has sent a delegation. of which
Parks is a member. to the convention, and
the local union which'was organized after
Parks and his local union were suspended
also sent a delegation.
The strength of the Parks and anti-Parks
factions in the convention will be decided
when one Of these contesting delegations
shall be seated. Each faction is unyielding
in it's attitude, and the partiSans of each
faction are at work tonight trying to in
fiuence neutral delegates.
President Frank Buchanan. of Chicago,
who Is an anti-Parks man, is a candidate
for reelection. II. f. Donnelly, of Albany.
N. Y, Parks's supporter, also is candidate te
for president. The Parks and anti-Parks
feeling will be manifest in every contest
in the convention, and the side which gains
the supremacy in the seating of the contest
ing delegations tomorrow probably will
control every important action of the con-

LONDON, Sept. 20-Lord Balfour of Bur-

Ralph Douglass Elliot, financial secretary

designations have been accepted by the
King. Mr.. Elliot was not in the Cabinet.
These two designations make a total Of
four vacant Cabinet posts and one secre-

With the resignation of Lord Balfour
and Financial Secretary Elliot. both strong
free-traders, it is understood that the min
isterial designations are completed and ap-
parently the Duke of Devonshire has de-
cided to remain in the Cabinet. 1t is prac-
tically certain that Austen Chamberlain.
Lord Miner and Mr.. Brodrick will take
the exchequer, colonies and Indian port
folios respectively, and the only surmise
in the new appointments is likely to be
the nomination of a strong man to the war
portfolio to determine how far the recon-
mendations of the South African war COM
mission can be carried out. Home Secre-
tary Akers-Douglas started for Balmoral
tonight. and he probably will be involved
in the reconstruction changes.

In FAVOR OF THE CANAL

Declares that Colombia Has No Right

of World Progress.

PANAMA, Colombia. Sept. Ex-senator
Obaldia to-day took over the functions OF
Governor of Panama. The event was the
occasion for great popular demonstrations
by all parties. 1t is thought that the ap-
pointment of Governor Obaldia may per-
haps exert influence against secessonist
ideas, not only because he is a native of
Panama, which fact engages for him the
sympathies of all, but because his ap-
pointment apparently is part of a general
plan, the result of which will be the cleo
ton of General Reyes TO the presidency
and the approval of a canal treaty salts
factory to the United States.
Governor Obaldia, i'm reply 10 DR.. Floren-
tine Goenaga, president of the High Court
of Justice, said:
Il maintain, because they were well medi-
tated, the sincere opinions / expressed as
a senator of the republic. i consider that
the interests of the world urgently demand
the construction of a canal and they have
"A right to ask cooperation. The con-
cessions. the object of which is TO serve
these interests, though they may imply a
sacrifice of sovereignty. are not against the
national dignity. We cannot deny civiliza-
ton what 1t requires from us TO continue
its victorious march"
All the speeches delivered at to-day's
functions, not only by isthmaians, but by
other natives of the republic. demonstrated
that all the inhabitants of Panama are i'm

HUNGARIAN SKIES CLEARING.
Cabinet Crisis About to BE Solved
KOxsuth's Correct Attitude.

VIENNA, Sept a-Count Hedervary,
who placed his resignation as Hungarian
premier in the hands of Emperor Francis
Joseph some time ago, had audiences with
the Emperor both yesterday and to-day,
which, it is reported, have led to the solu-
ton of the Hungarian Cabinet crisis, and
a ministry will be formed either by Count
julius Andrassy or NJ. Koloman Sell.
Should this news be confirmed it will be
due TO the correct and patriotic attitude of
Francis Kossuth and his party. Kossuth
declared resolutely against anything in the
shape of revolution and even forbade any
street demonstration on the anniversary OF
his fathers birthday.
1t is understood that the semi official
communication made yesterday, explaining
away the unfavorable construction placed
in Hungary on the army order issued by
the Emperor Sept. H. will be issued in the
form of an imperial autograph rescript ad-
dressed to Count Hedervary, and this proof
that the Emperor did not desire to ruffle
Hungarian susceptibiities will be empha-
sized by an imperial visit to Budapest as an
indication OF his continued confidence and
good will.
