REN TROULE 0 SET Consul Davis, at Alexandretta, Asi- atic Turkey, Claims He Was In- sulted and Mistreated. HAULS DOWN UNITED STATES FLAG. Davis Had Secured the Release from Prison efan Armenian Who Is Naturalized Americana, But When He Attempted to Send the Fellow Away on a Ship Serious Trouble Ensued. . Constantinople, Dec. 9.—The United States flag over the consulate at Alex- andretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been hauled down and Consul Davis has left his post for Beirut in consequence of a serious diplomatic incident dur- ing which Mr. Davis was insulted and assaulted by the local police. The af- fair grew out of the arrest of au Ar- enian, Channes Attarian, a natu- ralized American citizen. Attarian had been in prison at Alep- po during the last two months and had just been liberated through the inter- vention of the American consular agents, on condition of his leaving the country forthwith. Mr, Davis was ac- companying Attarian on board a de- parting steamer when the police in- tercepted the party, assaulted and in- sulted Mr. Davis, and despite the re- sistance of the consul and the attend- ant guards, re-arrested Attarian and took him back to prison. Mr. Davis immediately lowered the flag over the consulate and formally broke off rela- tions with the Turkish authorities by quitting Alexandretta, leaving the con- sulate in charge of the vice consul. A mob of Moslems seized on the oc- casion to make a hostile demonstration against the consulate and against the Christians generally. The local au- thorities assert that Mr, Davis struck the police with a cane and that after the re-arrest of Attarian the’consular cavasses attempted to rescue him, and in the fracas which ensued the cavassers broke the windows of the prison, The Turkish authorities fur- ther claim that Attarian, who is a na- of D b 5 Q 1 been traveling about the country with an illegal passport. They also point out that the question of Armenians naturalized in America returning to Turkey has always been a source of trouble since the porte invariably re- fuses to recognize naturalization. When Attarian was arrested $2,500 was found in his pocket. This, it is believed, may have contributed to his arrest, the Turks suspecting him of being a revolutionist. GREAT Geeretary Shaw Speaks of # Noticeable Feature of Treasury Transactions— More Subsidiary Coin. INFLOW OF GOLD. Washington, Dec, 9.—The annual re- port of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was submitted to congress Tuesday. He says in part: “The most noticeable features in the condition of the treasury are the in- creased available cash balance and the increased holdings of gold. Since 1890, the available cash balance, including the reserve, has more than-doubled, rising from $179,259,837.18 to §$388,- 686,114.23. “Gold continues to accumulate in the treasury. The total holdings of gold on July 1, 1903, were $631,420,789.43, an increase for the year of $71,220,489. On October 1, 1903, the total holdings of gold in the treasury amounted to $654,811,716. : “At the close of the year ended Oc- tober 31, 1903, the national banking system had been in operation 40 years and 8 months. During this time 7,029 national banks were organized, of which 5,907 were banks of primary or- ganization and 1,122 were state banks converted into national associations. “There arrived in this country dur- ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, 857,046 aliens, traveling in the steer- age, an excess over the corresponding figures for the precedirtg year of 208,- 303, or 32 per cent. Of these, 804,456 arrived at United States continental ports, 16,670 at insular ports, either Hawaii or Porto Rico, and 35,920 at Canadian ports. “There is now available for coinage into subsidiary coin less than 5,000,000 ounces of silver. This will be exhausted approximately at the close of the cur- rent fiscal year. Authority should be given to recoin existing silver dollars into subsidiary coin, or to purchase ad- ditional silver with which to supply the ever-increasing needs of the country. The present volume of silver stored in the vaults of the treasury is equiva- ‘ent to nearly 50 carloads of 30 tons each. It would cost $100,000 to recount it. This enormous amount is worth im bullion less than half of its coinage value, but it is all redeemable, at the discretion of the secretary of the treas- ury, in gold.” Life Sentence for Tucher’s Slayer. Topeka, Kan., Dec. 9.—The jury in the district court found William Mason guilty of murder in the first degres after 20 minutes’ deliberation. Wil- liams shot down Fred Tucher, a livery- man, on the night of October 18 and a lynching nearly followed. Mason is a colored man. He shot Tucher because (a aes _ ' ee ee Spruce Items.

Dec. 9.—The prominent citizens for whom warrants were issued on charges in connec- tion with the water scandal about which Lant K. Salsbury has made such Startling confessions, were spared the humiliation of formal arrest. In- stead of placing the warrants in the hands of officers to serve the officials telephoned the respondents from police headquarters requesting them to ap- pear. The eighth warrant for Gerrit H. Al- bers, charging perjury at his trial on the charge of attempting to bribe Al- derman Renthan, has been issued and Albers came in police headquarters and entered his appearance, being permit- ted to then go in search of bondsmen. Judge Haggerty, who issued the war- rants, announced that the Albers war- rant was based on a confession of Dr. Uilke Devries, that he induced Albers to make an offer of a bribe to Alderman Renihan as charged at the time of his trial ‘by the prosecution.
