W BRI i TERMS ARE REJECTED | TURKEY OPPOSES MOVE —_— OFFER TO FORM RUSSIAN MINIS- TRY REFUSED BY CONSTITU- TIONAL DEMOCRATS. BAY GOVERNMENT MUST SURRENDER REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT' IS IN. CREASING AND ARMY DISAF. FECTION SPREADING. 8t. Petersburg, July 11.—The refusal of the Constitutional Democrats’ to participate having rendered it impos- sible to form a coalition ministry the emperor and court, in the face of the rising spirit of revplution in the coun- try and the constantly extending evi- dence of disaffection in the army, seem at last ready to turn to the Con- stitutional Democrats as the only means of pacifylng the country, as foreshadowed in the interview with General Trepoff. Negotiations looking to the formation of a ministry com- posed of Constitutional Democrats bave been formally opened —through the intermediary of former Minister of Agriculture Yermoloft, leader of the new Center party, but the first propo- sitions of the government failed com: pletely, owing to the impossibility of the Constitutional Democrats accept- ing the three conditions, namely, the abandonment of the principle of the forced expropriation of land, full am- nesty for political prisoners and to agree to summer recess of parliament. ‘To have accepted such conditions, the Constitutional Democrats declare, would have made them guilty of trea- son, entirely destroyed their prestige in the country and have wholly an- gered instead of tranquillizing the people. The Constitutional Democrats intend to stand by their guns and be- lieve the government must shortly ac- cept their terms. Street demonstrationg and rioting are becoming more frequent in Moscow and St. Petersburg,-whish is regarded as being a bad sign:! At Moscow 7,000 employes of the Prekboroff mill, who ‘were at the forefront during the riot- ing there in December last, have gone out on strike, presénting a series of tmpossible demands; including pay for the time lost during" the uprising, proving clearly that their = demands are a mere pretext to stop work. REFUSE TO FIRE ON COMRADES. Troops Sent to Subdue Mutineers Dis- obey Orders. . St. Petersburg, July 11.—Some ad- ditional details of the mutiny of the Seventh cavalry at Tambov show that both the infantry and the Cossacks sent to subdue the mutineers refused to fire on them, the infantry bayonet- ting the officer who gave the com- mand. Only a detachment of dragoons, who, it is said, had been filled with lquor, attacked the mutineers. The officers of the Seventh fired on their own men.. The number of killed or wounded has not been established. Peasants Destroy Estate. Yabensk, Russia, July 11.—The es- tate near this town of M. Durnovo, former minister of the interior, has been completely destroyed by rebel- Hous peasants. Heavy Immigration to Siberia. St. Petersburg, July 11.—Govern- ment figures show an unprecedented immigration to Siberia, 85,867 persons going there during the last six months, Port Employes Strike, Odessa, Russia, July 11—A general strike broke out during the day among the men employed about the port. BARK ABLAZE AT SEA. — No Sign of Life on Board the Burning Vessel. New York, July 11.—Upon arrival here the Clyde line steamer Carib, from Georgetown, S. C., reported hav- ing sighted the Uruguayan bark Mar- gerita on fire off Delaware capes. The Margerita left Philadelphia July 3, bound to Halifax, N. S. There was no sign of life on board when the Carih sighted her. The vessel was blazing fiercely aft, her mizzen mast had fall- en alongside and a charred spar was hanging over the quarter. All salls were set on the fore and main masts, except the royals. All her head sails were also set and she was hove to with her head to the wind which kept the fire aft. From th¢ main mast for- ward everything was untouched by the fire. The Carib ran close by her and her captain watched for signs of the crew, but apparently they had been tal:>n oft by some passing vessel. Service for Railroad Victims. London, July 11.—A memorial ser- vice for the American and Canadian victims of the Salisbury raflroad dis- aster of July 1 took place at St. Paul's cathedral during the morning in the presence of a very large congregation, Including Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and the staff of t(he American em- bassy.

TO AN EMBASSY, STATE DEPARTMENT NOT PLEASED ACTION SAID TO BE DISCRIMINA- TION IN FAVOR OF THE EU- ROPEAN POWERS. Constantinople, July 11.—Fresh in- structions have been sent to the Tur- kish minister at Washington, Chekib Bey, to renew his efforts to dissuade the authorities at Washington from carrying out the proposed elevation of the legation here to the status of an embassy. It appears that when the Turkish government was first notified that the United States desired to effect the change Chekib Bey was ordered to op- pose the project, but replied that he was unable to shake the determination of the state department. He has now been instructed to inform that depart- ment that the proposed action re- quires a previous arrargement be- -tween the two countries, which has mot been effected in the present case. CALL, IT DISCRIMINATION. 8tate Department's View of Turkey’s Attitude, ‘Washington, July 11.—The state de- partment has not yet been advised of the existence of any opposition on the part of the Turkish government to the erection of the American legation at Constantinople into an embassy. Of course if the sultan declines to receive Mr. Leishman in the capacity of am- bassador ur:Cer the credentials he now holds he is acting perfectly within his rights. But it is certain that such a course will not tend to the strength- ening of the relations between Amer- ica and Turkey, because in the view of the officials here it will amount to a listinct discrimination. against the United States and in favor of the great ; European powers now represented by ambassadors at the porte. These am- bassadors have by right of their of- fice personal access to the sultan at any moment. The American minister and the other ministers must do bus- . iness 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 business, so that the state department is not likely to receive graciously any protests against the reception of Mr. Leishman’s am- bassadorial credentials. It is true that much of this business has related to the presentation of American claims against Turkey, but if the government of that country cherished the idea that these are to be further obstructed by a refusal to allow them to be present- ed through an ambassador it is prob- able that the state department will be obliged "to respond by charging the American diplomatic representative at Constantinople, even though he re- mains in the grade of minister, to press these claims with an energy heretofore unknown in the course of the negotiations, SEVERAL WITNESSES HEARD. Grand Jury Continues Investigation of Standard Oil. Cleveland, July 11.—The federal grand jury during the day resumed its Investigation of alleged violations of interstate commerce laws by various railways and the Standard Oil com- pany, with half a dozen witnesses on hand to give testimony, Among those who testified were C. L. Meyers, a clerk in the freight tariff department of the Lake Shore company; H. M. Huddleston, general auditor of the same company, and G. T. Curtis, sales agent of the Standard Qil company. The witnesses called before the grand jury were non-communicative after leaving the courtroom and declined to discuss anything that had transpired. GIVE UP THE FIGHT. Brewers Will Agree Not to Sell Beer in Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City, July 11.—The Heim, Rochester and Imperial Brewing com- panies, which own and control 150 Jointd in Kansas City, Kan., will make application this week in the court of common pleas for the release of their property, which, by order of the court, 18 locked up and guarded by the au- thorities.
