Davis Version Puts Fault with the
Turks-He Whipped Five Turkish
Policemen.
washington, Dec. 16.-As a result of
Minister Leishman's advices respecting
the Alexandretta affair, the State De-
partment has requested the Navy De-
partment to place a warship at the
disposal of Conul Davis, now at Beirut
upon which he might return to Alex
andretta, at his pleasure. The NAVY
Department accordingly cabled instruc-
tons to Admiral Cotton, on board the
hagship Brooklyn at Alexandria, Egypt,
to place vessel at the disposal of Mr..
Davis. 1t is believed the Brooklyn will
be selected. 1t is left to the consul to
arrange the terms of his reception.
Acting Secretary of State Adee has
taken firm stand in the matter Of
the assault upon United States Consul
w. X. Davis by Turkish officials and
PS'tNS a. FleAdHuIGItu. he has CaDled
Minister Leishman to present the facts
to the Turkish government and inform
that government that the case is one
seeming to invite an expression of re-
greet and reparation.
The State Department does not in
dictate what measure of reparation is
expected, but it is understood that the
Turkish government will certainly. by
removal or otherwise, punish the Of
tending Turkish officials at Alexandret-
Ia and compensate Adrian for the
losses and injuries he has sustained.
The Turkish government is willing to
compensate Adrian and deport him. It
Is understood that the main offense is
the assault upon the United States con-
SUI matter of gravity in information
al law. The information that has
reached the department is to the effect
that Mr.. Davis was acting entirely
within his rights and powers, and that
while engaged in protecting, as was his
duty, naturalized American citizen,
he was set upon by five Turkish DO
lcemen and dragged along the ground.
1t also appears incidentally that upon
recovering his footing the consul
promptly and soundly thrashed all five
Of the policemen.

NEW YORK SEEKS
GREAT CONVENTION.
She Has Her Delegation Working Mt
Washington.
By r. NJ. Larner.

By r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, Dec. 16.-New York is
making a strong bid to capture the
Democratic National Convention.
Southern senators and representa-
tives disclaim having any voice in Sc
lecting the place for the convention,
| but there is a general feeling that if
New York wants it to help hold the
state in the Democratic column, the
convention should go there.
Senator Clay regards New York as
a pivotal state, which the Democratic
party must carry to win. If it will
help the party to have the convention
| held in New York, he says by all
means let it have the convention.
Senator Tillman says the same thing
in different way.
Representative Legare says New
York has ample facilities for entertain
ing the convention, and if by holding
the convention there the state can be
secured to the Democratic party he
favors New York's claim to the con-
vention.
The New York delegation is hard at
work to secure the convention, but
way down under the surface the sem
timent is in favor of an early conven-
ton at Chicago.
Damage from Gun Practice.
Representative Legare has in charge
a claim of DIR. E. S. Durham for dam
age done to property on Sullivan's Is
land by gun firing. The Secretary of
War has decided that the United
States are indebted to DR.. E. S. Burn
ham for damages thus sustained and
will send a recommendation to Con-
gress that an appropriation be made
to pay the same, there being no money
available for paying this class of
claims and it being necessary there
fore, that a special appropriation be
provided.
For an Inside Route.
Representative Brantley has been
notified by the chief of engineers of
the army that a favorable report has
been made on the project to cut a
canal connecting Chubb river and
Plants creek to secure an inside wat
er route from the Altamaha river to
Brunswick. In the last river and har-
Dor bill provision was made for board
engineer
project for river and harbor work.
Mr.. Brantley asked for survey of the
proposed route, and it was referred
to the board. To-day he received Of
fetal notification that the board made
a unanimous recommendation in favor
of cutting the canal.
For New Rural Routes.
Through an understanding reached
between Representatives Livingston
and Adamson, a special agent of the
Postofice Department is to locate GER
postofflce department, is to locate GER
tain rural free delivery routes along
the line which divides Campbell and
Coweta counties. Livingston is on
one side of the line and Adamson
on the other. For some time past the
location of these routes has been de-
layed because of a dispute among the
citizens of the adjoining counties.
The routes are to be selected, and
the appointments of the carriers made
within few DAYS.
