The Uuited States and Turkey

Constantinople, March 22.-Ofiicials
at the American Legation here are very
reticent regarding the situation of affairs
between America and Turkey. Your
correspondent learns from good author
ity, however, that United States Minis
ter Leishmann having left CONSTANT
nope for America expressed TO the Porte
strong protest against the evasivences
OF the Turkish government regarding
the American demands. II is alleged
that the minister for foreign affairs YER
bally promised Minister LIE shmaun on
March that a settlement Of the Ameri-
can demands would be made. The
same day the foreign minister sent
note supporting his assurance The
American minister then reminded the
Porte that the rights to immunity from
taxation were confirmed by the order Of
1888 and 1892 touching on religious
and charitable institutions in Syria.
These rights have been constantly Tecog-
nized in the case OF institutions SUPPORT
ed by other nations. In his note Mr.
Leishmann finally demands that custom
officials shall be ordered to relieve Amer
lean institutions from the taxation they
have been bearing, and that all monies
they have paid Cor dnties shall be re-
funded by the custom officials at Beirut.

ANOTHER MAYOR has thrown up the
sponge. Mayor Thomas Lawrence Reilly,
of Meriden, Conn, after trying his best
for three months to administer the office
Of Chief Executive of that city, to
which he was elected on the democratic
ticket. has acknowledged that he has
had enough of the job. Mayor Reilly

He also ran several professional baseball
teams. He Gays "the occupation Of
mayOring had them all beaten to a
FRAGILE" He will seek rest and Sc
clusion in sequestered spot In the
heart of the sunny South. During the past
three-sc0re years men of various callings
in life have filled the position of Mayor
of Alexandria. In all these years store
keepers. commission merchants, lawyers,
architects, livery stable keepers, dry
goods merchants, doctors, tailors, shoe
makers, shoe dealers, tanners, printers
and editors have had representatives
in the Mayors Office, but ST. Crls-
pin seems to have been more es'
pecialy hOnored, as several IF his
disciples, paying no attention to the adj
monitiou. "ne sator ultra crepidsm,"
have taken the ribbons in hand and full
filed their duty to the community not
without much labor. But two from news
paper offices, we believe, have allowed
themselves to be saddled with the re-
sponsibilities of the position, neither OF
whom, however, abdicated, as did the
Mayor of Meriden, although they but
doubled their responsible lities to the city
when they became its executive. As
newspaper men they are ever subject to
the whms and csprices OF clientele
often exacting aud unreasonable, while
in presiding over a city they meet equal
ly as many more persons with sore places
whom it is difficult to placate. Hence
sympathy is extended to the ex-Mayor
of Meriden.

COMPLETE agreement on the crucial
points has not yet been reached at AL

nous, being due, as hitherto explained,
10 The necessity Of the delegates refer
ring every new detail of the controversy
TO their home governments. 1t may be
some days before final settlement IS ef-
fected. but that in the end there will be
a satisfactory settlement seems now to
be assured. 1t is stated that the French
government has informed the German
government that il accepts the principle
of peulral inspectorthip for the Franco
Spanish police force in Morocco. That
accords with the last instructions which
NJ Rouvier, Just before the dissolution
of his ministry, sent to M. Revolt at AL
peeiras. The French delegates were d.
rected "to accept the establishment OF
system of inspection to acquiesce 10
rendering this inspection as eficacious as
possible but not to admit that this
inspection be transformed into collabo-
ration, and categoricaIly to refuse to al
low the inspector to have the direct
command of a port" 10 brief, France
sssents 10 the establishment of an in
spector. but insists that he shall be an
inspector and not commander. That
was the policy of NJ. Rouvier, and that
is the policy of NJ. Bourgeois. As for
the bank, NJ. Revolt was instructed TO
admit a reduction of the original French
demands so far as to accept only one
share for France, but to insist upon the
allotment of three shares to those French
establishments which are already Mo
rOcc0's creditors to the extent OF many
millions and which therefore claim a
right of control and preference. 1t is
understood that Germany accedes to this
demand. Thus there is practical agree
ment on the fundamental principles,
and all that remains, says the New York
Tribune. is to arrange the details. This
may be a tedious job, but it can scarcely
involve any controversies dangerous to
the peace Of Europe or to the ultimate
success of the conference.
