TURKEY OBJECTS TO HONOR
Sultan Takes Decided stand Against
Elevation of American Mis-
sion TO Embassy.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July lO-Fresh in
structions have been sent to the Turkish
minister at Washington, Chekib Bey. to
renew his efforts to dssuade the authori-
ties at Washington from carrying out the
proposed elevation Of the legation here to
the status Of an embassy.
1t appears that when the Turkish gov
eminent first noticed that the United states
desired to effect the change Chekib Bey
was ordered to oppose the project, but re-
piled that he was unable to shake the de-
termination OF the state department. He
has now been instructed to inform the de-
partmept that the proposed action re-
ouires a previous agreement between the
two countries which has not been effected
in the present case
WASHINGTON. July iO-The state de-
partment has not yet been advised Of the
existence Of any opposition on the part Of
the Turkish government. to the elevation
Of the American legation at Coustantinople
into an embassy. OF course, II the sultan
declines to receive Mr.. Leischman i'm the
capacity of ambassador under the creden-
tails he now holds he is acting perfectly
within his right. But II Is certain that
such course will not tend to the strength
ening Of the relations, between America
and Turkey, because, In the view Of the
officials here, It will amount to a distinct
discrimination against the United States
and in favor OF the great European powers.
now all represented by ambassadors at the
porte. These ambassadors have, by right
OF their office. personal access to the sultan
at any moment The American minister
and the other ministers, IN fact, must do
business through the porte entirely and on
the rare occasions when they gain access
to the person of the sultan they are Obliged
to wait many weeks for the opportunity
The result is a very real obstruction and
embarrassment in the transaction of bust
ness, so that the State department is not
likely to receive graciously any protests
against the reception of Mr.. Lelschman's
ambassadorial credentials It is true that
much Of this business has related to the
presentation OF American claims against
| Turkey. but IL the government of that
country cherishes the idea that these are

DUPLICATION OF COUPONS
Receipts by Treasurer Gives Rise TO
Question whether e L. FOrRery
or Mistake.

Deputy Treasurer j. w. Gribble Of
South Omaha yesterday morning dis
covered an apparent duplication OF coupons
which are attached to the bonds Of a GER
tain issue. He Is undecided whether Il Is
n case Of forgery or an undiscovered error
in the printing OF the bonds The coupon
In question is coupon No OF bond No. 90,
of the ~ per cent refundng bonds of last
years issue. Two OF the coupons have been
sent I'm for payment and they are exact du-
plicates. They we're received about May %
and the discrepancy al once discovered.
Payment was refused by the city and since
then quiet inquiry has been made. The
bonds were bought by Moore a. Baker. bond
buyers of Boston. Mass. One of the bonds,
numbered 90, is in the hands Of the Derby
Savings bank OF Derby. Conn, and the
other. of duplicate description, is in the
hands OF the Mechanics and Farmers bank
OF Bridgeport. Conn. A letter to each bank
has developed the fact that each claims to
have the genuine bond in its possession.
This would indicate a mistake In the print
Ing, which was not previously discovered
when the signatures of the city officials
were attached or a forgery OF considerable
intricacy. It would be necessary to dupll-
cate the bond and the pen and Ink sigma
lures OF the mayor and clerk as well as the
Autographed coupons. A letter has now
been sent TO Moore & Baker TO trace, II
possible, the transactions so that the time
of the discrepancy and the possibility OF
such a forgery can be determined. Both
banks claim to have dealt with Moore &
Baker, II is possible that while the bonds
remained unsold in the hands of this com.
pany. someone connected In some way with
the firm might have perfected the dupll.
Gates. To what extent the duplication has
extended has not yet developed. as this is
