TALKS TURKEYTO TURKS
American Minister Gives Porte Some
Very Straight Doctrine
From WASHINGTON,

Constantinople, Aug. 16.-Minister
Leishman today saw Tewnk Pasha,
Turks minister of foreign affairs, and
renewed the urgent representations of
the American government for imme-
date settlement of the demands re-
garding the rights of American citizens
in Turkey. It is understood that i'm
portant developments are expected
soon, either the porte giving way or
Minister Lcishlnan demanding his pass
ports.
Thursdays confer n &c between Mr..
Leishman and the representatives Of
the palace lasted eight hours. In the
course of the discussion the Turkish
delegates attempted to impugn the
character of some Of the schools and
contested the American claims to be
granted certain privileges given to sim
liar french institutions. Mr.. Leish-
man, however, firmly refused to con-
slider for a moment any suggestion Of
discrimination and insisted on the full
acceptance Of the American list of
about 800 schools. hospitals, charitable
institutions and missionary dwellings,,
as filed with the porte eighteen months
ago. He pointed out that the porte
had had ample time to verify the list.
but had done nothing. He positively
refused to listen to any suggestion re-
garding treatment differing from that
accorded the schools. etc. under the
protection of other powers. The dele
gates finally left in ORDER to report to
the sultan, and promising a favorable
reply.
The conference appears to nave set
tied n matter agreed upon at the time
of the Beirut incident. but never eX-
ecuted, namely, that of the payment to
an American citizen of Smyrna of $25,-
600, being the value of land on which
Moslem refugees illegally settled. The
amount will now be paid.
h usua attempt was made to in
duce Leishman to stop the American
squadron from goi~g to Smyrna, by
promising an immediate settlement,
but the minister declined to intervene,
and he IS now in communication with
Rear Admiral Jewell regarding ar
engagements in the event of a rupture
and the consequent departure of he
minister from Constantinopie.

WANTS TARIFF REDUCED
J. J., Hill Predicts Greater Comforts FOR
the Average American as a
Result

New York, Aug. 13.-James J. Hill,
~fnancier and railroad king, is optimis-
tic regarding the political and business
outlook. Returning to New Yor from
an extended western trip, he said that
the crop outlook was promising and
that business was bound to be good be-
cause the farmer was never more pros
porous han his season.
Are you going to u for the gov
ernorship of Minnesota, as has been re-
ported" Mr.. Hill was asked today.
u took an active interest in
politics but once, and thai was in the
campaign of 1895. l do not intend to
get int politics again If l can help it,
and l do not see any reason why I
should"
What do you think Of Judge Par
ker's chances?''
"Well,' said Mr.. Hill, "T have lust
been reading Judge Parker's speech Of
acceptance and 1 like it. / believe he is
Il sound man.
What is the business and crop sit
uation in the west?"
i see no reason to change my orig
inal estimate as to the wheat crop,
which vas 54o.0O0.0o0 bushels up in
my section of the country, and further
north reports indicate that the crop is
in excellent condition. Everything
po!nts to a great fall business for the
railroads. The Great Northern is doing
a much larger business than it did last
year. The farmers, very generally, are
prosperous. The only depression seems
to be in manufacturing districts. They
are having labor troubles and the do
mestic demand is not as great as the
supply.
II believe that we must come in
evitably to perhaps a reduction in the
general wage scale, but certainly to a
less extravagant manner of living. II
wages are reduced the cost of COM
tariff schedules and the citizen will en-
joy greater comforts, / believe, than il
the a s at present"

MORE LAME DUCKS.
Germany Reports Several Disabled
Russian Vessels Are There.

Berlin. Aug. 16.-Japan has given the
German government an intimation that
she is preparing a statement regarding
the seizure of the Ryeshitelni at Che
foo The foreign office, therefore, is
disinclined to express its views on the
Washington dispatches, indicating that
the state department is concerned
about the apparent breach of neutrality
on the part of Japan's torpedo boats.
The cruiser Novik left Using Chou
within the tWenty-four-hour limit. Sew
eral other Russian vessels are still in
that harbor, in a disabled condition.
The German government is not willing
the names CT the ships and the de-
tails of their damages should be pub
lished Oh official authority, because
UGH intelligence might be considered
inconsistent with neutrality, and as af-
fording Japan valuable information.
Instructions have been sent to Using
ChOu to permit the Russian vessels to
repair sufficiently to proceed to an
other port, but the repairs must be
strictly limited to making them sea-
worthy. The German naval forces are
assembling at Kia Chou to prepare to
enforce Garnlany's neutrality against
either ~belligerenr.

ST. PETERSBURG VET HOPES.
But 1t Admits That the Naval Reverse
Is a Severe Blow,

Is a Severe Blow.
st. petersburg, Aug. 16.-The news Of
the death of Rear Admiral Without and
the failure of a majority of the larger
warships of the Port Arthur squadron
to break through the Japanese fleet
was not known this morning when a
brilliant array of officers and diplo-
matists assembled in the magnificent
KaZan cathedral to attend a te deum
in honor Of the birth of the heir APP
parent, Alexis. The metropolitan read
to the congregation a manifesto an
~nouncing the birth, and then the whole
a~ssemblage Bonded the knee as the pre-
late invoked Gods blessing, on the fu-
ture emperor. Veteran warriors were
shaker with emotion and many per-
sons wept II prayed audibly. Sim
liar services were held throughout the
empire.
The emperor this morning received a
telegram from Using Chou announcing
the death of Rear Admiral Without
and the result of the sortie of the Rus
sian warships, leaving no doubt Of the
severe character of the reverses sus-
tanned by the Port Arthur squadron.
The return of a majority Of the Rus
sian warships to Port Arthur has not
softened the blow. On the contrary 1t
is felt that their retreat toward the
beleagured fortress has dashed all
hopes of a juncture with the Vladivo-
stok squadron.
Naval men believe, however, that the
Japanese We're badly battered and that
Togo will not be in a position to fol-
low up his success.
The Associated Press is able, on the
highest authority, to deny the reports
that Argentine warships have been
purchased by Russia and Joined the
V~ladivostok squadron. The admiralty
strongly repudiates the allegation that
the. battleship Czarevitch is being re-
paired with German assistance. No
such breach of neutrality is possible.

SEATTLE man
ROBBED THE
SLUICE BOXES
(Scripps News Association.)

DAWSON, July 19.-Bill Lane Of
Seattle, better known as "Billy the
Horse" is in Jail at Gold Bottom,
charged with having robbed the sluice
boxes on claim No. on Last Chance
last Sunday night. Lane has had
his preliminary hearing at Gold Bot
tom before Magistrate Routledge and
has been bound over for trial.
Lane had been employed in strip
ping some ground on nearby claim,
and suspicion pointed to him, but this
was not allowed to enter the minds
Of those who were making a search
for the guilty party.
On the claim in question there is a
clay known as gumbo, which for
sticky qualities would make glue look
like water. To rob the boxes the man
had to travel through this, and he
might just as we'll have Travelled over
wax, for he left a most beautiful
print of his foot in the gumbo, which
even stuck to the footprints.
The police who worked on the case
had no trouble in cutting out a foot
print, but there came a delay in get
ting the foot that made it. One Of
Lanes shoes was secured and an i'm
preston made which tailed with the
footprints in the gumbo, and his ar
rest followed.
