Protection for Christians in All
Parts of Turkish >DOminions
of First Importance.
FURTHER ACTION PROMISED.
United States Not Directly Con-
cerned in Movement, but Re
suit Is Intended to Be Bene-
fetal to Americans.

Paris Feb. 19.-The Russian Foreign Min
lister. Count Lumsdorf, has communicated
20 the French Government the fact that
Ru-s;a received yesterday the last of the ad-
her.nces Of the European Powers to the
joint note to Turkey on the subject of re-
forms thus making the action of the Pow
ers unanimous.
He accordingly directed II. Zinovief the
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. to
proceed with Baron Won Calico, the Austrian
Ambassador. to the Sultan. and present the
note to-day.
II was at first intended to present the
Austrian Eote first. but this was reconsd-
cred in order to give added force to the
joint personal presentation.
Ii was also desired to secure the fuli
adherence of Germany. which was some
what conditional at first. The unanimous
action decided upon yesterday includes that
of Germany.
The note. as finally framed. strikes out all
reference to Macedonia. as It was considered
that the designation of one part of the coun-
try by name would increase the antiforeign
agitation which the Powers are seeking to
check.
NOTE IS GENERAL.
The note is generaliZed SO as to cover all
the localities where Christians reside. the
only localities 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 inter-
ests of the Christians form the chief fea-
lures of the note.
In view of the unaninity of the Powers
the officials here consider that the Sultan Is
certain to accept the proposed reforms, but
it is not intended to terminate the question
with the presentation of the note.
1t would be followed speedily by further
joint action, including sending Consuis Of
the various Powers throughout the Chris
tian regions to see that protection is actu-
ally given and that the reforms are really
carried out
The authorities do not hesitate to say that
the note is only the first step in the plans
for the betterment of the condition of the
people under Turkish rule.
An official here said that while the United
States are not concerned in the action d.
rectly. yet the protection demanded for all
Christians will be indirectly beneficial to the
American Christians in Turkey.

Company's franchises and property and the
terms of the treaty. He quoted from the
treaty the clause providing for the lease
of the canal zone and from the act-the
language of the second section authorized
the President to acquire perpetual control
of strip Of land six miles in width-and
charged that the two were utterly incon-
sistent.
The discussion Of this point led to an
animated debate, in which several Senators
participated. Senator Rawlins, Bacon and
Daniels were among the Democratic speak
ers. Senators Hoar. Spooner and Depew be-
ing among the Republicans.
IL the main. the Democratic Senators cor
tended that the treaty does not coincide
with. or carry out, the terms of the act.
and that. therefore. another act of appro-
priation would be necessary before the
treaty could be effective.
The Republicans pointed out that the
lease provision in the treaty looked to the
continual renewal of the lease, which in eff
feet. they said. would give the perpetual
control provided for in the canal act

BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Springfield Ill, Feb 19.-Judge L. T. Sher-
man. in bill striking at an administration
practice, which is claimed to be viola
tion OF the State Constitution. indirectly
involved the St. Louis Worlds Fair inter-
ests in the Illinois Republican factonal
fight.
The bill implies that Senator Dunlap,
Speaker Miller and other members of the
Assembly on the Worlds Fair Commission
are not constitutionally qualified to serve.
The measure is obviously part of Sher-
mans arraignment Of the State organiza-
tion. 1t was introduced this morning, and
would authorize the Auditor of Public Ac
counts to withhold warrants from men,
bers of the Assembly holding civil appoint
ments.
The question arises as to what consti-
tutes civil appointment, and the most
general opinion holds 1t to be such office
under the State as carries salary.

ARN0LD'S ALTON CREDITORS
CLING TO "GOLD HEELS"

John Coppinger of Alton claims that he
and several Of his -townsmen and
investors in the firm of E. ]. Arnold & Co.
are protected by the possession of the ia
nous racer Cold Heels" which Mr. Cop
pinger secured on bill of sale, which was
made out by Arnold before the crash came.
Coppinger is protecting the names of his
fellow-investors. some Of whom are said to
be prominent in the business world. and
has all the claims. amounting to nearly
$1,000, filed in his own name. After secur-
ing the bill of sale on the famous racer
Coppinger went to Greenville ILL.,. where
the Arnold stock farm is located, and took
possession of the horse.

Sherman would extend 1t to cover Trus-
tees, Commissioners. or board members
that are allowed expenses, and under this
head the Illinois Worlds Fair Com
missioners.
In several instances ssemblymen re-
ceive emoluments over and above ex-
penses for their services as Governor
Yates's appontees. In all cases. Sherman
maintains. where Trustees or board men,
bers or legislators have the spending of
moneys they voted to appropriate, there is
a violation of the Constitution.
This bill Is unique and daring, in that it
is an act to secure the observance OF a
provision of a constitution by the Legisla-
ture' created by the selfsame constitution.
1t was referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee, which probably will be its last rest
ing place
But the belief Is entertained here that 1t
is part and parcel of the evinced opposl-
tion by Republican element, the anmus
of which Is purely political and partly
and against renewal Of the worlds Fair
