The Powers Decided to Reject
Counter Proposals.
WILLGETB BUSY MONDAY
PROBABLE SEIZURE OF ISLANDS
OF LEMNoS AND IMBROS.
Passage of Dardanelles Will Not Be
Disturbed Owing to Interests of
International Commerce.

PARIS, December 1T was learned by
the Associated Press in the highest govern
ment quarter today that the powers, after
carefully examining the sultan's latest
counter-proposals, have decided to reject
them and actively resume the naval demon
stratiun In Turkish waters on Monday with
the probable seizure of the islands of Lem
nos and Imbros.
No consideration has been given to stop
ping the passage of the Dardanelles, owing
to the interruption of international COM
merce which would follow.
After an examination of the sultan's coun-
ter proposals all the powers came to the
conclusion that the propositions were dila-
tory and entirely unsatisfactory

MONEY FOR THE CANAL.
An Emergency Appropriation of $16,
100000 to Be Made.

The bill carrying an emergency appro-
priation of SIG, 500 coo for the Panama canal
has been prepared and will be introduced in
the House next week and passed The
money becomes Immediately available and
will be taken ultimately out of the fund
realized from the sale of bonds authorized
by the Spooner act.
An important feature of the bill is a pro-
vision reducing the tax on the bonds to one
half of / per cent when they are used as
guarantee of national bank circulation,
thereby placing the canal bonds upon the
same basis as the present government rs.
The bill does not make any change in the
method of expenditure of the money, but
leaves it. as at present, to the discretion of
the President of the United States.

OUTLOOK MUCH BRIGHTER.
Effect of the Promise of Reforms in
Russia

State Department advices from st. Peters
burg dated yesterday are to this effect: The
strikers and employees have effected a COM
promise in regard to wages, and promises
have been made that a new election law
will be ordered today. That law will prob
ably provide for almost universal suffrage,
and it is expected that electors chosen
directly by the people will in turn elect
deputies to the national parliament.
AS a result of these promises the situation
has bean very much improved, and it is be-
ieved that the danger of another disastrous
general strike has been averted.

RECORD RECEIVED HERE
FINDINGS AND SENTENCE IN THE
MERIWETHER CASE.

The case of M:dshipman Minor Meriweth.
er ir., tried by court-martial at Annapolis
for alleged responsibility for the death OF
Midsaip:aan Branch has been transferred &c
this city. The record of the court includ-
ing a complete transcript of all the testi.
mony and arguments. as well as the findings
and sentence, was received at the Navy
Department today by Judge Advocate Gen
eral Diehl 1t was forwarded from Annap-
oils by Judge Advocate Mark by registered
mail
Reviewing the Case.
1t is the duty of the judge advocate gen
eral, under the regulations. to make COM
plete review of the case in order to see
that the proceedings were perfectly regular
and to make such comment upon the find
ings as he may deem necessary. 1t will un-
doubtedly take him several days to COM
plete that work and ii is hardly probable
that the case will be submitted to Secre-
tary Bonaparte'S action for at least q week
or ten days. In view of the Presidents
personal interest in the matter Secretary
Bonaparte will undoubtedly confer witt
him before taking final action.
Meantime the strictest secrecy will be OBJ
served respecting the case, and It is not
likely that the verdict of the court will be
known beyond question until the Secretary
of the Navy announces the action of the
Impression Regarding the Verdict.
Despite official ignorance on the subject the
impression prevails in naval circles that
Meriwether was found not guilty of the
charge of manslaughter but guilty of the
less serious charges involving disorderly
conduct. The further belief is expressed
that although the young man has not been
sentenced to a term of imprisonment the
sentence of the court possibly involves his
dismissal from the academy. 1t is possible,
however, that the sentence may simply call
for a suspension a reduction in class
standing
Under the naval regulations the reviewing
authorities have no power to change the
verdict nor to increase the punishment i'm
posed by the court. The duty of the Secre-
tary of the Navy in such a case is limited
TO an approval or disapproyal of the YER
dict and the sentence also, except that in
the latter case he is empowered to reduce
its severity. If dissatisfied he may return
the case to The court for reconsideration
Had Midshipman Meriwether been an officer
of the navy instead of a midshipman under
instructions, sentence of dismissal would
require action on the part of the President
but in cases of midshipmen the Secretary
of the Navy has final jurisdiction.
