BREAK LIKELY
WITH TURKEY.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
WASHINGTON THAT
Diplomatic Relations May
Be Severed
GRAVE COMPLICATIONS
GRAVE COMPLICATIONS

Can Only be Avoided by the Sultan
Yielding to Demands Of the United
States-An ultimatum Will be Sub
nnitted--A Public Statement to Be
Issued Soon. 4.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 9.-After the
meeting of the cabinet today it was
semi-officially announced that total
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween this country and Turkey was a
probability. The withdrawal of Min
lister Leishman from Constantinople
and the handing of passports to the
Turkish representative here will pre-
cede any warlike measures on the part
Of the United States government.
Whether this radical action will be
necessary cannot at this time be fore
told by this department Of state.
There is hope that the sultan, having
been fully advised of the feeling en-
tertained by this government over his
continued refusal to deal with Minister
Leishman, may decide to grant the au-
dience that has thus far been sought in
vain and thus avoid the grave COM
plications that would follow a sever
Ance of friendly relations.
II is believed that the American
minister has been instructed to again
ask for an audience with the sultan
with a view toward an amicable adjust
ment Of the differences.
In case the sultan should refuse to
receive him or should fail to give sat
lsfactory assurances Of the prompt
consideration of the demands of the
United States, it is lkely the minister
will submit the demands Of the United
States in the form OF an ultimatum, al
lowing a reasonable time for com
pliance with it's terms. In case of
failure It is then that the United
States minister will withdraw from the
Turkish capital and the Turkish charge
in this city be given his passports.
The cabinet TO-DAY devoted the great
er portion Of its time to the considera-
ton of the Turkish situation.
Secretary of State Hay made a care
full presentation of the facts and the
course of the administration, in what
has been done and in the policy to be
hereafter pursued, met with the hearty
appreciation of the members.
The suggestion that a public state
ment, of an official character OF the
questions at issue and the attitude of
the United States government might be
pertinent, was viewed favorably but 1t
was deemed best TO defer II for fear
that it might interfere with the policy
being carried out. Such a statement
may be issued within few days.

MOB HELD Up
STRIKE BREAKERS TRAIN
AT KANSAS CITY.
DUMPED THEIR BAGGAGE
In the River and Made
Their Escape.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 9.--Late this
afternoon while train of dozen cars
were being switched to the packing
plant of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger q
mob of three hundred strikers held il
up, broke open a car loaded with the
baggage of the strike breakers and
dumped all their belongings into the
river. The mob then quickly dispersed
A riot call was turned in but pickets
that had been stationed by the strikers
gave them ample warning and they all
escaped before any arrests could be
made.
The strikers received quiet tip that
strike breakers were to be imported. A
sharp lookout was maintained. When
the train started across the river to-
wards the Scnwarzschild & Sulzberger
plant 1t was forcibly taken possession
of. How the strikers learned which OF
the cars contained the baggage of the
imported men is a matter Of conjecture
Tut it is intimated that union brake
man in sympathy with the strikers vol
unteered the information.
The train was not stopped until 1t
had crossed the river. Here the car
was broken open and its contents, con-
sisting of scores of valises, trunks
bundles and satchels was dumped into
the stream. During the excitement
somo one set fire to several of the cars
but the blaze was extinguished before
much damage was done.

Working for Fusion in
Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 9.--The eve OF
the Democratic and Populist state con-
ventions. both of which assemble in
Lincoln tomorrow, finds the situation
In SO far as 1t concerns the question OF
fusion, decidedly muddled. The DEM
ocrats favor fusion almost unanimous
ly as providing the only chance of rout-
ing the Republican administration out
of the state house, while the Populists
are divided. Colonel Bryan will be
present at the Democratic convention
as delegate from Lancaster county
and all of his influence and those Of his
lieutenants will be directed toward con-
vincing the recalcitrant Populists that
the two parties should fuse. Both of
the Populist national candidates, Tom
Watson and T. Fl. Tibbles, are on the
ground and are exerting themselves to
defeat fusion. They say that they are
willing to fuse on the state ticket
II the Democrats will abandon their
intention of naming Parker and
Davis electoral ticket. They take the
stand that they cannot consistently
combine with any party which is In
league with the "capitalistic classes. u

their first trip to Chicago, when the
calamity overlook them and wiped out
the entire family save the husband and
father, who is probably crippled for
life.

on the freight train but whether the
engineer or flagman is at fault, has
not yet been made known.
At the crossing where the accident
occurred fagman is stationed to In
dicate right of way to approaching
trains. The passenger train had the
CLEAR track" signal and had half pass
ed over the crossing when the freight
backed into the middle of the train.
A rigid investigation will be made
and the blame fixed upon the one re-
sponsible for the horror.
