UNITED STATES AND TURKEY.

The Porte has notified Minister Leish'
man that five arrests have been made at
Beirut in connection with the shooting
which led to the report that William G.
Magelssen, the United States vice and
deputy consul there, had been assasslna-
ted. The Turkish officials continue to
insist that no attempt was made on the
vice consuPs life, and they reassert that
the whole story originated in feu-de-
ioie fred on the occasion of a native
marriage and in accordance with the
custom. Mr.. Leishman, however, re-
fuses to accept such an explanation
without conclusive evidence from judi
cial investigation.
The attempt to burn the American
college at Harpoot occurred five weeks
ago, and apparently was the work of an
individual who considered he had a
grievance against the college authorities.
When Mr.. Leishman was informed
of the attempt he demanded that the
Porte protect the American institution,
and, in consequence of his representa-
tons, instructions were sent to the au-
thorities at HarpOot to try in the regu-
lar courts the charges against 90 Arme-
mans accused of the trafficking in arms
and engaging of other seditiods acts.
Among the accused is Professor Teneked-
jan, of the American College, whose
treatment in prison pending his trial
was also ordered TO be improved.
Mr.. Leishman is pressing for def
mite settlement of number of matters
on which agreements were reached with
the Turkish authorities last year, but
which, in spite of frequent promises on
the part nf the Porte, have never been
executed. For instance, naturalized
American is still in prison at Tripoli,
Syria, although the Porte has frequently
informed Mr.. Leishman that the author
tiles at Beirut, who have jurisdiction
over Tripoli, had been ordered to liber-
ate him.
On Monday Mr.. Leishman received a
telegram from Rear Admiral Cotton,
dated from Genoa, Italy, Sunday even
ing, announcing that the United States
warships Brooklyn and San Francisco
would arrive off Beirut at the end of this
week. The American officials at Con-
stantinople attribute the dispatch of war
ships to Turkish waters not solely TO the
Magelssen affair, but to the general dis
satisfaction of the authorities at Wash
ington at the nonfulflmentof the Porte
promises in regard to pending questions,
and to the determination of President
Roosevelt to show Turkey that she can
not trife with Emeriean representations.
Diplomatic circles at Constantinople
generally approve of the energetic action
of the United States, which, it is pointed
out, is amply justified by the bad faith
of Turkey, and it is felt that the appear
ance of the United States warships in
Turkish waters will lead to the immedi-
ate settlement of the pending disputes.

every colored man and every colored

Commenting on this state of affairs the

Race Again Postponed.

Highlands, N. j., Sept. 2.-The jack
tars on the Reliance and Shamrock arose
this morning with strong hopes that the
final race of the Americas cup series
might be sailed. They were speedily
dispelled, however, for not breath OF
wind was stirring at eight O clock, and an
Indian summer haze hung drowsily over
the sea. What little puffs of wind there
were came hesitatingly from the north,
but they quickly disappeared Flags,
and yachts ensigns chung closely to the
halyards as if in stops. A dirty gray
haze overhung the sea and the water
was as smooth as glass. Prospects for a
days racing were gloomy indeed, and
the expression of opinion on the part OF
the weather given by the sailor men on
board the yachts would not bear repeti-
ton. Despite thegloomy outlook, prep
arations to make sail were under way at
the usual early hour
At II a. m. the yachts were at the
starting line waiting for wind, but there
was none to be discerned from any quar-
ter. A race today is unlikely.
1890 p. m.-There is no improve
ment in weather conditions and the race
will undoubtedly be called off at one
o clock.

county, State Treasurer; Ex-Judge CAL
vim Rayburn, Armstrong county, /: Su-
perior Court Judge; John A. Ward,

There are few contests, among the dele
gates and the convention ought not to be
in session more than two or three hours.

chosen as temporary chairman and will
probably be selected to occupy the chair
during the permanent organization.
COL James NJ. Duffy, ex-Congressman
J. A. P. Hale, Robert E. Wright, and
other party leaders are guiding the. con-
vention through the programme for the
day.
The platform calls upon all political
parties to unite in a supreme effort to
rid the commonwealth of that selfish
corrupt. extravagant and debasing rule
which still controls its affairs; charges
that not one pledge made by the repub-
lican machine, as a condition of its con-
tinuance in power, has been kept but in
reckless disregard of public opinion the
last legislature was but repetition OF its
disgraceful predecessors calls attention
to the fact that the country is witnessing
the astonishing spectacle of almost the
entire republican press of the State and
country denouncing the approval OF
the Grady Salus libel law, the product
as they declare Of the worst motives and
purposes Of the republican machine; and
deplores the continued existence of la
Dor troubles affecting important indus
tries and vast numbers of people, and
expresses the earnest hope that through
concession, moderation, and fair dealing,
early adjustments made may be reached
On his election as temporary chair
man, Mr.. Bremen made speech, ar
raiguing the republican party in this
State for failing to make good Its
promises in the way of ballot reform,
legislation for the workingman, and fol
general misgovernment. After the ap-
pointment of the committees on credent-
ials, resolutions and organization the
convention took a recess until 2:3O.

AFTER A conference with the Presi-
dent, Representative Babcock says no
financial legislation of a radical char
acter will be attempted at the coming
session of Congress As precaution-
ary measure he thinks a bill may be
passed authorizing the deposit Of Gus
toms receipts in national banks, with
provision for the use of other securities
besides United States bonds to secure
such deposits. The experience OF the
Secretary of the Treasury in accepting
other securities than government bonds
from depositing banks, says the Phila-
delphia Record, should lead to great
caution. The best way to get rid o.
surpluses is to reduce taxation. This
leaves the money where it will do the
most good and makes government med
ding with the money market quite un-
necessary.

Good Decd brought $4,000

Palmer, Mass, Sept 2.-Dr. Arthur

to Philadelphia year ago, has received a
legacy of $4,000 in return for an act of
kindness done eight years ago. DIR.
Twogood was then living in Three
Rivers, and became tired of going to
school. He went away with another
boy, and they went to New York,
where they remained a few days.
One evening at Forty-second street and
Broadway, Twogood was accosted by an
elderly man, who asked him for place
to sleep and something to eat. Two
good took him to a restaurant, where
they had supper, and secured lodging
for him at a hotel. He gave the
man his name, but never heard any
thing from him until this time. A few
days ago DR.. Twogood received letter
from Brighton, England, which inform
ed him that the man he had befriended
was John Mailman, manufacturer,
who died two months ago. In his will
he ordered his executors to find Two
good and pay him $50, 900 as an express
sion of his gratitude
