horse" in the Democratic Presidential
night. were called forth today at the
conference on international arbitration
by a reference to the good propects for
securing treaties Of amity with other

lumbia. in an address by him on an
ANGLO American Arbitration treaty.
Professor John Bassett Moore, of
Columbia University, a native of Del

Great Britain. such a treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
would be. in his judgment step back

ception being made of questions Of ma
tional honor as questions not coming
within the scope Of arbitration.

Rogers Woodruff. of Philadelphia, pre-
sented a paper on Business Men and
International Arbitration" embodying
the report OF a special committee APP
pointed to bring the question of in
iternationai arbitration before the busi-
ness organizations Of the country.

MINISTER DENIED ANSWERS

Washington, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Hays return to the city from his
summer home was signalized by con-
sideration at the cabinet meeting, Of
important matters concerning Amer
ioa's foreign relations. The secretary
had not completed his vacation, but
returned to Washington at this time
on account of the developments in
this country's relations with Turkey.
The whole question was considered
by the president and his cabint in
the light OF information received by
cable from Minister Leishmann at
Constantinople.
The government has been pressing
the porte for an answer TO our repre-.
senta,ions. The sultan promised an
answer last Friday, but Minister
Leishman did not receive it. He was

ised then an answer from the sultan
as TO the right OF Americans TO estab-
llsh schools and other educstionall in.
siitutions in the Turkish empire.
Such rights have been accorded other
nations, but have been withheld from
America.
Secretary Hay laid before the presi-
dent and the cabinet a cablegram he
had Just received from Minister Leish-
man to the effect that he had not been
able to obtain a satisfactory answer to
his representations. That this gov
ernment is annoyed at the procrasti-
nation of the porte and at what seems
to be q studied effort on the part Of
the sultan to dllly daily with the
American representations, there is no
attempt to conceal. Secretary Hay
declined, however, as be left the
cabinet meeting, to say what, If any
decision had been reached. Secretary
Morton's replies to similar inquiries
indicated the probabilities Of import

upon the Turkish question.

formed for the movement OF the United

MUST Go 10 ORIGINAL DEEDS

Serious complications have arisen
in making out the estimates against
property owners for street paving and
sidewalks constructed by Mr.. z. G.
Terrell under his contract with the
city.
The city pays half for the streets,
and property owners half for the
streets and sll Tor the sidewalks.
Upon the completion Of the wo-k, esti-
mates are made out and turned over
to the contractor by order OF the gen.
ersl council, and he proceeds to ool-
iect.
City Engineer Washington, for the
past week has been busy making out
the estimates, and has found inexplica-
BILE discrepancies. 1t is known how
many feet there are in q block, but
when the block is divided and the
property apportioned out among the
various property owners sccordiang to
the number of feet the plat shows,
the discrepancies from six inches to
foot or more to the block, and it ia
very difficult and in some cases almost
impossible, to determine who is cred
tied with too much and who with too
little.
Some one of course has to pay for
the whole block, but the engineer mas
thus far found q good many feet that
are there and have been improved,
but which cannot be charged to any
ono, because it has not been found to
whom they belong. Il is supposed
the original deeds will better show
the amount of property each person
owns.
