 The French Government supports the concession. but declines to enter tain the question of a resale of the property until the Porte furnishes proof of its ability to bring forth the purchase money, which, considering the impoverishment of the Turkish treasury, is nnanifestlg impossible. Tn the meantime, France has closed her market to any Turkish loan and the French embassy has notified the Porte that France win exact fan Indemnity of 32.500 for every day that settlement is delayed in addition. to a compensa- tion of ,s2.800,000 for losses, to the company ancurEed by distnrbances.

RICHMOND, Fob. l3-Thc News
Leader Of this evening says:
Certain friends of Judge ]. w. G
Blackstone of the Eleventh Judicial
circuit. aftcr being present mt the
committee hearings yesterday. left
last night for Hampton. with the
avowed purpose of bringing such in
uuence to bear that he will immedi-
dtiely tender his resignation 10 the
general assembly.
1t is stated that Judge Blackstone
who has stubbonly resisted any adj
vices, would, in view of his investi- :
CATION, infplicac certain of his friends
in his acts. and IL is believed that
when the matter Is put to him in this
light that he will yield.
Perhaps a dozen letters have nj.
ready been sens 10 the accused Judge
from members Of the House and Sen
ate. who are thoroughly familiar with
his past record. urging that he yicl;'
duictly ana avoid the widespread
publicity which must assuredly fol-
low the investigation.
When Judge Blackstonc's brother
was In this CITY several days ago. ex-
amining into Rhe merits of the case.
he consulted with the most influential
men i'll the general assembly. all of
whom advised that lie urge and IN
sid upon resignation.
Aliensts May Come.
A member of the courts of Justice
committee has already suggested that
a commission of lunacy be held. as
there is general belief that the
judges mind has become impaired.
An attorney for the prosecution,
who has sought expert ADVICE. states
that the belief OF the medical men
is that Vt might easily be shown that
Judge Blackstone's mind is unbal-
anced
In Was current talk today that the
Eleventh circuit judge would cndeay-
or to avoid the process forwarded bv
the committee, but should he act In
this manner the committee will be
forced to proceed in the absence oil
hhe judge and his witnesses.
AS yet no counsel has been employ
cd TO- the defense. even though sew
orfl have been approached and, have
de- fned to serve. 1t is further stat
cd. unanthoritativcly, however, that
no attorney on the Eastern Shore
VIII take the case. and if this be
true, lawyer will be procured from
some other section.
Not impeachment.
There is little chance that the
courts OF justice committee will make
their repolN in favor of the impeach-
/ent proceedings. which would. in
lse of removal, disqualify Judge
