The bill introduced in the Senate at
Annapolis. last week. to incorrc:ute the
Octoraro Water and Power Company of
Cecil County, and give it great powers,

dam the stream in Lancaster County.
Penna., and use the water for it's en-
gnes on the main line and the Octoraro
branch.
Il lawyer who Processes to know the
details of the plan, said that the Rail
road Company has been buying up the
property along the creek. but has struck
Il stumbling block in the owners of "a
mill which uses the water of the creek.
The Railroad Company. he says, has Of
fcrcd 100000 for the mill. but the own
els want S1GO,0OO. The right to con-
denim is wanted. he says, to get posses
sion of that property and enable the
Railroad Company to carry out its plans
for dlmming the creek. He does not
think that the Railroad Company intends
to =" into the electric power business.

1Nsr1GATED BY MINE OWNERS.
Deportation Of Lawyers and Others Re
suit of Well-Laid Plan.

dispatch from Cripple Creek, Col, last
night says: No secret is made here or the
fact that the deportation of Attorneys Eu-
gene Engley, Frank j. Hangs and J. Z.
Cole, and twelve other men from this dis
trict, last night, was planned by members
OF the Mine Owners Association and Cltl-
zens' Alliance, and was carried out under
their direction.
The Ell Paso, Vindicator. Findley and
other large mines were closed down when
the day shift stopped work and the miners
of both day and night shifts were request
ed to assemble in Cripple Creek, as trouble
was brewing. A report had been In cir.
culation that several hundred deporteo
union men were returning to the camp
in a body and 1T had been determined 10
drive them away again should they come.
This report proved to be groundless
However, other work had been laid out
for the two thousand or more miners VINO
swarmed into town. and acting under
orders given by leading citizens, they pro-
ceeded to round up the federation at
Mercantile Company store and others VINO
have openly expressed sympathy with the
federation of miners and escorted them be-
yond the city limits.
During the entire proceedings the sherin

TALKS TO TURKEY.
Leishman Will Hold Government to
Sultan's Personal Promises.


cabIegram from Constantinople last
night says: note from American Minister
Leishman, dated August 10, was handed 10
the Turkish authorities within twelve hours
after the receipt by the minister OF the
Turkish note of Monday. In this note MI.
Leishman holds the government TO its SOL
emn undertaking. coming direct from the
sultan respecting equal treatment with
other nations for the United States concern
ing the question of educational institutions
This allusion to the imperial pledge APP
parently embarrassed the porte, which had
previously announced that II would ignore
the formal verbal assurances which Minis
ter Lefshman declared he had received. II
is considered improbable that the porte will
reply to the minister's note, and therefore
the question is looked upon as shelved
pending the execution of the process or
recognition, when, II is considered not inn
probable fresh difficulties will arise.
Notwithstanding the assertion by lzzct
Pasha the secretary of the palace, that
s25,O00 had been deposited as compensation
due to an American citizen at Smyrna Tor
iand illegally taken, no such deposit mas
yet been made.
A cablegram from London says: The Con-
stantinople correspondent Of the Standard
considers that the diplomatic triumph OF
the United States in the matter OF that gov
ernment's demands upon Turkey rests upon
a slender foundation, and proceeds TO give
in detail the developments already an
nounced in the dispatches to the Associated
Press.
The correspondent says that the council
of ministers thrice recommended yielding
to the American demands, but the sultan
declined y agree to this step This attitude
is emphasized, says the correspondent. by
the fact that the sultan did not receive

days seiamal.k. as it had been expected

AN APPEAL FOR THE JEWS.
Uncle Sam Asks Russia to Honor
PASSPORTS.

A cablegram from St Petersburg last
night says: The United States government
has again formally proposed to Russia the
opening of negotiations for the unrestricted
recognition of American passports. In &C
cordance with the law of the empire only
foreign Jews of specified classes-merchants
having business connections in the country,
etc.-are allowed to enter Russia, but quite
a liberal policy has been pursued in making
exceptions to the rule where legitimate
reasons therefor are given. The exceptions,
however, are seldom made in the cases of
Russian Jews who have been naturalized
abroad. The inhibition is not against the
United States alone, but extends to the Jews
of every country.
The United States government on several
occasions especially while James G. Blaine
was Secretary of State, sought to open ne
gotiations regarding this question, but the
Russian government always declined to be-
gin such negotiations, on the ground that
the question involved the entire readjust-
ment OF the internal policy of the empire
toward the Jews. ~E,
The basis of this proposition is the joint
resolution of the United States Congress
passed on April % last, which lends it addi-
tional weight as being the expression of the
united wish of the representatives of the
American people. Both verbally and by
note the subject has been presented to For
eign Minister LamSdorn by AMBASSADOR
Mccormick
While under ordinary circumstances 1t Is
not probable that Russia would even yield
to the extent of discussing a question af-
fecting the internal policy of the empire,
and while a compliance with the American
wish would probably entail a change In
Russian laws, the more liberal policy re-
Gently manifested toward the Jews OF Rus
STA seems to create at least the room for
hope that Ambassador Mccormick may now
succeed where his predecessors failed.
1t is understood that while the earnest
wish of the United States government in
this matter has been made quite plain TO
Russia the American note is couched in
such terms as not to render refusal on
the part of Russia in any sense rebun.

POPE Plus WILL CROWN VIRGIN.
Gives His Approval to the First Of the
Twelve Stars.

cablegram from Rome last night says:
The pope will personally supervise the
preparations for the coronation in St.
Peters Of the same statue of the Virgin
crowned by Pope Plus TX in December,
1854, when he promulgated the dogma of
the Immaculate conception. The cere-
mony will be one of the most gorgeous of
the Catholic Church.
The pope this morning examined the first
of the twelve stars forming the crown
of the Virgin. 1t is five inches in diameter,
contains 200 diamonds of the first water,
The whole twelve stars, including their
setting, will cost $4,000. His holiness is
perfectly satisfied with the appearance and
brilliancy of the first star. He has an
nounced that he had already ordered a
jeweled necklace as his personal offering
to the Virgin.

Quarrel Leads to Murder.

dispatch from Atlanta, Ga. last night
says: a quarrel about an open bed loom
door led to the killing of Frank T.. Brett,
a travelling salesman, by Andrew 4. Wall
line, superintendent of the Florodora Tag
Company, here today.
Brett had been in the habit, so 1t is
claimed OF leaving the door of his bsd
room open when he was undressed. Wall
line had demonstrated with him about the
matter on several occasions, and a renewal
of the quarrel early today resulted in the
killing. Wallne claims self-defense. Brett
formerly lived in Macon, where last sea-
son he acted as coach for the Mercer Col.
lege base ball team.
