VIGOROUSLY SLOW.
The Turkish Government Has Come 10 Terms
With United States.

Washington, D. c., (SpeciaD.- In
quiry at the state department confirms
the Constantinople advice that Minis
ter Leishman has taken the method
of recording the promises of the Turk
ish government to him in the shape
of formal note recapitulating those
promises and stating that the United
States accepts them as sufficient tor
the time and is fully confident that
they will be redeemed.
Having saved the principle in this
case of recognition of equal rights
for the American citizen in Turkey, it
is fully expected here that some time
will be occupied in settling the details,
particularly as Turkish diplomatic
methods are VIGOROUSLY slow. The
department notes with qualification
that the frmans or permits already
asked for by American educational
institutions in Turkey have been pro-
visionally granted by the local au-
thorities, enabling them to continue
their business, but it will take some
time to secure action on the additional
list applied for, no less than 300 in
number.
Altogether, the state department Of
ficials express satisfaction with the
status of the Turkish negotiations on
this point.

DIsMANTLE HIS GUNS.
Advice Of Russian Naval Critic to Admiral
Ouktomsky.

St. Petersburg, (By Cable).-The
naval critic of the Viedomost; boldly
expresses the opinion that the Port
Arthur squadron would commit an act
of folly if it went out now. He adds:
Although a portion of Admiral
Ouktomsky's ships are in fighting trim
including at least the Peresviet, Pol
tava, Sebastopol and Pallada, it would
be futile to attempt to break through
Admiral Togo's strong lines. The
squadron would be lost without profit
to Port Arthur. Ouktomsky would
do better to dismantle his guns and
send the men ashore. This would re-
inforce General Stoessel to the ex-
tent of 81 heavy and 400 light guns and
5000 men. Then, if the worst comes,
the ships could be sunk"
A semi-oficial journal, while pay
ing tribute to the heroic defenders
of Port Arthur, does not withhold
praise for the extraordinary valor of
the Japanese besiegers. 1t says:
Neither a rain of cannon shots,
walls of bayonets, nor earth strewn
with purifying corpses can arrest
their stubborn assaults"

again to reach the President in so I'M

What the mans object was nobody
knows. The President suggested that
he was "just bit too enthusiastic"

|GALYESTON'S Big WALL
Gty's Great Barrier to the Sea Has
Been Completed.
A GREAT PIECE OF ENGINEERING
The Sea Wall Was Completed the Last Of
July-Two Granite Monuments Were Erect
ed At the Foot Of fremont Street to Com.
,memorate the Completion Of the Wall. and
These Monuments We're Unveiled Monday.

Galveston, Texas. (SpeciaD.-The
completion of the Galveston sea wall
the greatest structure of its kind in the
world, was celebrated Monday by
running excursions from different
parts of the State to Galveston.
Governor Lanham was present and
made a eulogistic address, comment
ing on the remarkable work which has
been accomplished here, Galveston be-
ing now in line to seek advantage
from tn unique position of the city
as the up-to-date American port and
railroad center nearest of all to the
new Panama canal and natural outlet
for the commerce OF nearly one-hali
of the United States.
The sea wall was completed the last
of July. Two granite monuments were
erected at the foot of fremont street
to commemorate the completion of the
wall, and these monuments were I'M
yelled Monday. The Galveston sea
wall is one of the finest pieces of engi-
neering work of its kind ever accom-
plished in America. The wall is III
5o3 feet long, I6 feet wide at the base.
S feet wide at the top and stands II
feet above mean low tide, with gran
lite riprap apron extending 81 feet out
on the gulf side. The contract price
of the wall was $I.Io8,3I8. The actual
construction of the wall proper con-
sumed year 4 months and ~ days.
The grade of the city is now to be
raised to slope gradually from the top
of the sea wall This will necessitate
a raising of the grade from I to IS
feet, according to location. For this
purpose the State of Texas has do
mated all State taxes collected in Gal
weston county for period of Is years.
Bonds to the amount of $I,5oo,ooo are
to be issued for this purpose. A con-
tract has been let for the grade-rais-
ing work.
Under the terms of the contract a
canal is to be dug on the inside of the
sea wall which will permit hopper
dredges, loaded with sand taken from
the channel in the bay, to come in and
discharge until the filing is of the re-
quired depth. This work is now under
way. The last session of Congress
provided for an extension of the Gal
weston county sea wall to protect from
the Crockett for distance of 1000
feet to the west. This will extend the
wall to Fifty-hfth street, SO that the
city of Galveston on the gulf side will
be protected by a sea wall to the full
extent of its incorporated limits.

RUSSIA LOSES ANOTHER SHIP.
Cruiser Novik Driven Ashore By the Japan
ese.

Toxic, (By Cable) .-After severe
engagement with the protected crui-
sers Chitose and Tsushima the grey
hounds of the japanese Navy, the fleet
Russian cruiser Novik has been van,
quished. The fight occurred Sunday,
After it the Novik, in a sinking condi-
ton, was run ashore in Korsakovsk
Harbor on the Island of Sakhalien.
The details of the days fight are not
known here, but it is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught UP with
the Novik and that running fight en-
sued.
Captain Sukeichiro Takahashi, who
is in command of the Chtose, reported
the engagement in a brief telegram to
the Navy Department. He says he first
attacked the Russian cruiser Saturday
afternoon, and that on Sunday morn
ing he inflicted heavy damages upon
her. The Novik nearly sank, but she
was beached at Korsakovsk.
The imperial Prince Yorihito, of the
House of Higashi-F usimi. is second in
command on board the Chitose. Cap
tain Sento commanded the Tsushima.
The fate of the crew of the Novik
is not known, but it is thought they
abandoned their vessel and landed at
Korsakoysk.
1t is generally thought here that the
Chitose and Tusushima steamed in
close to the Novik and completed the
destruction.
The news of the destruction of the
Novik has been receivd in curious
manner by the Japanese public. From
a political standpoint it is highly sat
isfactory, for the Novik could have
been most dangerous as commerce
destroyer; but, considering the matter
from sentimental standpoint much
regret is expressed at the loss.
The Novik has been splendidly han
died and bravely fought throughout
the war, the Japanese naval officers
and the public generally have ire
quently expressed admiration for the
cruiser, her commander and her crew.
The Novik was one of the Russian
fleet that steamed out from Port Ar
thur on the morning of August 10 to
force its way through the Japanese
lines. She entered Tsirglau the night
vi mug uot Odt SOt away iOAAA eHS
the night of August IL, having remain
ed less than "a hours. She was then
enormously reported to have been
sunk 40 miles from Tsingtau.
The Novik was next reported head
ed for Van Dieman Strait. at the
southern end of Japan, evidently in an
effort to reach Vladivostok via the
eastern coasts of the Japanese Islands.
Yesterday it was reported from St.
Petersburg that the Novik had reach
ed Korsakovsk. From the fact that
the Japanese cruisers met the Novik
off the southern end of Sakhalin it
would appear that the Russian cruiser
had passed through the Kurile Is
lands and was endeavoring to reach
Vladivostok by way of Laperouse
Strait, avoiding the passage of the
Tsugaru Strait. which was used by
the Russian Vladivostok squadron
when it raided the eastern coast of ia
pan.
Korsakovsk, the scene of the fight,
is a port on the southern coast of
Saghalien, off the coast of Siberia. and
about $50 miles northeast of Vladi-
yOstOk
