STIRRING UP TURKEY |ED!TOR BoOYER RETORTS The Powers Send Another Reminder to the Porte. THEY ASK FOR INFORMATION What Steps Will Be Taken to Re- store Order. LORD SALISBURY’S SPEECH CONSTANTINOPLE, November 10, via Sofia, Bulgaria, November 11.—As a result of the exchange of numerous telegrams be- tween the representatives of the powers and their respective governments, lasting nearly all day Saturday and this morning, an im- portant meeting of the ainba: held here today, and the situation was thor- o.ghly discussed. Finally it was decided to send fresh rep- resentations to the Turkish minister for foreign affairs, Tewfik Pasha,grenewing in much stronger language the demands ad- dressed by the ambassadors to Tewfik Pasha’s predecessor, Said Pasha, on Novem- Ler 5, and insisting upon being informed without further delay as to what measures the porte contemplated taking in order to restore order in Armenia, and reminding the Turkish government that It has already been notified of the intention of the pow- ers, acting in concert, to take their own steps in the matter should it deveiop that the action of the porte is inadequate with the state of anarchy prevailing in Armenia. It Is stated here this afternoon that Bahri Pasha, who was dismissed from a govern orship, owing to his ill treatment of Arme- nians, on the representations of the British ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, and who on Saturday list was decorated by the sultan with the Grand Cordon of the Osmanteh Order, “as a reward for his good ser- vices,” is to be appointed to command the Turkish troops going to Zeitoun. The number of victims of the Baib massacre is now reported to be 100, and ft is estimated that the total number of Armenians, men, women and children, kill- ed during all the most recent massacres exceeds 10,000, and that this total is being constantly added to. Consul Sampson an- nounces that he has found trusty persons to distribute the funds collected for the re- Nef of the suffering Armenians of the Sa soun district, and, therefore, the relic work there, interrupted by the forced re- tirement of the American missionaries, whose lives were in danger, will be re- sumed. It is estimated that during the past week or ten days 300 Armenians have been ex- fled without trial from this city, and the police are still engaged in making arrests. Effect of Salixbury’s Speech. LONDON, November 11.—The Marquis of Salisbury's speech of Saturday night at the lord mayor's banquet seems to have a good effect here and elsewhere throughout Europe. The continental newspapers express va- rious opinions regarding the premier’s utterances; but his remarks are generally regarded as reassuring and as just what was wanted to calm public opinion. His larguage attributing to the sultan the whole responsibility for the condition of affairs in Armenia is regarded in some quarters as calculated to encourage the Armenians to resist; buc all interested seem to find comfort in the stress laid upcn the absolute harmony of the great powers and in regerd to its continuance. ‘This is looked upon as being the sole, sure mode of dealing with the sultan and of holding down the ambitions of the indi- vidual European states. Still, however, there is visible between the lines in the utterances of the premier an undercurrent of feeling that war in the east is more likely to be postponed than to be averted. In any case, it Is understood that there will be no change in the gov- errment’s program looking to strengthen- ing the British fleet very materially in order to be ready for any combinations or eventualities which may be likely to oc- cur. The Times this morning, in an editorial, says: “Marquis of Salisbury's reference to Turkey in his address at the lord mayor's banquet Saturday was worthy of the best traditions of British statesmanship, but he somewhizt fails to appreciate the rapid movement cf affairs in the far east.” Mission Near Jerusnlem Attacked. Tke Englisn mission near Jerusalem has been attacked by a riotous moh. ‘The mis- sionaries escaped, but some of the servants of the mission were killed. French Warships for Turkey. PARIS, November 11.—The Figaro this morning announces that three French war- ships have left Cannes for Turkish waters, prepared to cope with any emergency. Lord Sa Iisbury’s Remarks. Regarding the Armenian question, Lord Salisbury asserted, Saturday evening, that the present government had added nothing to the demands of the three powers made in May, and which were accepted by the sultan, * * ¢ “More than this, I cannot say at present, but in case the sultan 10- fuses we may point out to him the fact that the powers fifty years ago determined as a eafeguard of the peace of Europe that the integrity of the Ottoman empire should be preserved, and as far as I know the powers Sre,of this opinion stil ‘All throughout these n : the powers, and even of those generally ren garded as among the most restless powers, to act together with a common aim looking toward the peace of the world, and I ate hopeful that this unanimity of ‘action may in time lessen the heavy burdens of as armed peace, which now press upon i dustries.”” is poneaeae —__ TO RAISE MORE REVENUE.

P, A. and the Maryland Campaign. Things the Surface by Rev. Dr. Ens- That ‘ve Been Brought to ton’s Retirement. Mr. A. J. Boyer, the editor of “The United American,” in speaking to a Star reporter today of Mr. Burton's comments on what Mr. Boyer had to say of Rev. Dr. Easton and of the A. P. A.’s part in the recent campaign said: ‘There is no quarrel between Easton and myself, and never has been. There is, and always will be, between myself and Bur- ton. Dr. Easton is abundantly able to take care of himself, and has no thanks to waste upon Burton for championing him and his connection with the A. P. A. “Burten says Dr Easton knows how much I got for an issue of the paper. That's true, because I hold him, and told everybody, and if is no secret. I would do it again. I sold just $125 worth of the United American for circulation in Mary- land to aid in maintaining the purity and henor of the A. P. A., and as far as possi- ble counteract the evil inffuence of Burton and a half dozen others in the pay of one of the political parties in Maryland, who visited the forty councils of the state on their unholy mission of endeavoring to drag the order into the dirty pool of poli- tics, which I was endeavoring, with the $125 worth of paper, to prevent. It is not true that the United American hoisted its flag for Hurst and Gorman, as its files will show. “It never used Hurst's name during the campaign nor advised a single A. P. A. in Maryland to. vote for,Hurst. It did advise the boys to vote for Mr. Levering, because the prohibition platform and Mr. Levering'’s letter of acceptance indorsed the A. P. A. principles. The platforms of the two lead- ing parties and the candidates running upon them ignored those principles. Hence the neutral position of the United American regarding them. I stated in my paper—and now repeat it—that neither of the state tick- ets contained the name of a single Roman Catholic. Of the local ticket I knew noth- ing, and advised nothing. I never once en- tered the state during the campaign. That my friend and colleague, J. G. Burchtield, endeavored to sell 10,000 copies of the United American in Maryland may be true. I had no knowledge of it and never asked him to do so, and if Burchfield did this I deeply regret that he did not succeed, as it would have greatly aided me in nullifying the work of Burtom in Maryland, defended Gor- man only to the extent that I denied the false statements circulated by the Burton- ites, that Gorman is a Roman Catholic. “And now Iam compelled by the volubility of this man Burton to disclose a little secret, which will throw a dazzling searchlight up- on the whole matter. I have disclosed no secrets of the order, because I respect my obligation to protect my fellow members in the order. Burton has freely and frequently violated his oath, which he could do; be- cause he is virtually out of the order, the supreme president. of the order having, months ago, determined upon his suspen- sion, holding it in abeyance only until the last Monday's convention should have come and gone. I have it from Mr. Traynor's own mouth that he will immediately execute this expulsion process azainst Burton. Hence Burton is free to speak, whether it be truth or falsehood. Another secret. Burton Made a most determined effort to prevent me from occupying a seat in the late local convention, and dismally failed. Hence. again, his animosity and hatred of me. I supported the successful candidate for the state presidency in that body. Burton op- posed him, and seceded from the conven- tion when he failed in his purposes. I state what I know to be a fact, that Burton came into the order, about a year ago, only to use it to boost himself for the position of door- keeper of the next House, to which he aspires, and for which purpose he en- deavored to use the order in Maryland. Up to that time Burton was known on worker with Powderly in the capa local labor reformer in New York.” See oe = CHICKAMAUGA PARK. Report of the Commission Submitted to the Secretary of War. The annual report of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park commis- sion to the Secretary of War shows that forty-two miles of roads have been con- structed in the park and much done in the’ way of repairs and betterments. The park now includes 5,568 acres, upon which $27,820 have been expended. Additional tracts which were desired could not be secured cwing to the exorbitant charges of hold- ers. Twenty-three monuments and marks have been placed and 118 foundations pre- pared for state monuments, and 208 of these state monuments and inarkers have been completed. Ohio is foremost with fifty-tive monuments and fifty-three mark- ers. Many of the northern states have taken steps to mark the position of their treops and the border and the southern states have just commenced their work with the prospect of erecting over 100 mcnuments during the next year. There are now in place 212 historical tablets, 286 distance and locality and fifty-one battery tablets. The fighting positions of batteries are being marked by guns mounted én war style. and 164 of such guns—not quite half the full number to be mounted—are in place. Military Post Likely. Secretary Lamont will probably ask Con- gress for authority to establish a military post for infantry and cavalry troops at Chickamauga Park. It 1s proposed to lo- cate there a rifle range and an artillery range, and to utilize the park as a general training field for military cadets, The im- provements contemplated can be made within the next year, but their accomplish- meat will require a ltberal appropriation. ee A SERIOUS COMPLAINT. mduct of the Commander of the Bennington Blamed by Citizens. Several citizens of this country who were passengers on the steamship Warrimoo from Australia to Vancouver, B. C., during the recent epidemic of cholera in Hawaii Eave coniplained to the Secretary of the Navy of the conduct of the officers of the gunboat Rennington while the Warrimoo was anchored off the port of Honolulu Au- gust 30 last. Because of the presence of cholera in Honolulu the steamer anchored outside. According to the complainants, the Bennington lay inside close to the wharf, flying the yello® flag, having lost one of her crew from cholera the day be- fore. Several hours before the Warrimoa fcould get away, however, they say that the Bennington ran ~cut of the harvor, made a circle close about the Warri. moo, and came to anchor directly to windward of her, and so close by, they exe, that the smoke and odors from het galley were offensive to the passengers on the deck of the merchant ship. They con. tend that there was no possible excuse fox ihus menacing the health of the passenzer ship, and they characterize the conduct of the commander of the Bennington as un- calcd for, ungentlemanly and discreditable to the United States navy. The matter is brought to the attention of the Navy De- partment in the hope that those respunsibie will be dealt with as the case demand Among those who sign the complaint are A. Sanford of Philadelphia, Arthur Lewi Iowa, H. W. French of Boston, A. F. Pate of Iowa. and others. Following the usual course, the com.nanier of the Bennington will be called on for an explanation, and, if | his reply fs not satisfactory, a court of in- | qviry will be appointed to fully investizate | the matter. In the improbable event that | the naval commander nee !leszly jeopardized the lives of the passengers on the Wurri- roo, he w'll undoubted:y be court-martialed. -| the square was not very much improved, THE B STREET FIGHT | 8t4cksuan's Commissioners Preparing to Answer the Suit. ANOTHER DELEGATION OF FARMERS The Situation as Described Today by Major Powell. A WOMAN’S VIEW OF IT The Commissioners are doing everything to strengthen their position in the fight against the market company for the posses- sion of B street. Today Attorney Thomas appeared before the board and presented a copy of the bill of the market company upon which the temporary restraining order was issued. This was turned over to Major Powell, and he will make a draft of the answer which he will svbmit to the other Commissioners before the attorney is called in to pass upon its form. The good housewives of Washington who have been accustomed to look for the far- mers just outside of the market house on B street, where, shielded from the weather, they were permitted to buy direct, are ar- raying themselves against the authorities. ‘To move the farmers away from B street will cause them no little discomfort. A Woman's View of It. As one of them said to a Star reporter to- da; “It will be simply outrageous to make the farmers move. The!r location is in every way suited to those who go to market. In bad weather an ample shed protects us, and it is so convenient to the market house. To those who have carriages this new order will be no inconvenience, Lut we who have to walk will suffer if the farmers are com- pelled to move up there to the vrholesale market square. it seems a shame that the Commissioners cannot let the poor farmers, alone. If it is true that the market com- pany Is collecting a revenue trom the farm- ers for the privilege of standing under the shed, why not issue an order pr and compel the farmers to pi the fee into the coffers of the District. The great hue and cry seems to be that the market com- pany is deriving some benefit from the farm- ers by renting District property. What has that to do with the question? Are thc au- thorities going to make the market company feel its vengeance by se sly inconvenienc- ing the citizens? For gracious sake, get The Star to agitatesthe question, and { warrant you that ever: go to market an order."" A good deal of interest centers about the motive af the Commissioners in issuing ¢ order clearing the street. It was in March of 189% that the Engineer Commissioner detailed one of his engineers to make a sutvey of the market house property, in order that all information attainable could be presented to Congress. This was at the time the Commissioners were making a big fight to have the new District build- ing located on the reservation in front of the market shouse. It was then discover- ed, according to the plans presented, that the survey showed the south line of the market house property to be occupied by the latter’s building, namely the south wail of the main building. Then it was that Major Powell's attention was called to the fact that the market company was in the habit of collecting rent from the farmers who occupied space along B street. presented a novel situation. According to Major Powell the corporation was occu- pying public space and receiving a revenue therefrom. The matter slumbered until May, 1895, when Major Powell brought the matter to the attention of the board, and at his motion the surveyor of the District was directed to make a survey of the prop- erty and establish the true line of B street. He made his report prompily and it tallied exactly with one made by the District en- gineer. Thus it is held at the District building that the records are against the ™maerket company. Maj. Powell Talks, Maj. Powell discussed the matter freely with a reporter of The Star this afternoon. He said there was no doubt in his mind that the market company exceeded its au- thority. If any revenues were to be de- rived from the use of public spaces the District should get them. The wholesale market square had been set aside by Con- gress for use as a market, and the District, after a legal battle with the market com- puny, had gotten possession of it. This was the place for the farmers. It was true that enting this, woman who is compelled to rise en masse against such This although the Commissioners would do more when they got the money. It might be an inconvenience to some when B street was cleared, but he thought it would only be temporary. When asked if the Comm:s- sioners ever proposed to allow B street be- tween 7th and 9th to be occupied again, Maj. Powell said that depended entirely upon the number of farmers. If the space allotted to them filled up, why, then the question of occupying the north side of B street between 7th and 9th would be con- sidered. According to the advertisement of the Cemmissioners, sealed proposals for the spaces will be received and opened Novem- ber 18. A Delegation of Farmers. This morning a delegation of farmers waited upon the Commiss‘oners and urged that the order relating to proposals be changed, and the spaces to be rented sold at auction to the highest bidder. Informa- tion was also desired regarding the length of time they would be allowed to occupy the stands they bid for. For Instance, if one was allotted a stand upon his bid, would he be allowed to occupy it next year at the same figures. The Commissioners stated they had not yet decided those ques- tions. The delegation consisted of Messrs. Victor Beyer, B. F. Joy and John A. Schultz. ——————— SENATOR HILL SILENT. He Prefers to Do His Talking Before the Election. Senator Hill of New York arrived at the Normandie today. He was visited by a Star reporter, but he declined to be int view on politics. “I am here,” he said, “on some private business, which has no rela- tion to politics, and do not care to enter into any public discussion of the situation. I prefer to do my talking before the tion. When the elections are over I let other people indulge in explanations, if they are inclined to do so.”” ge A New Appointment Clerk.

The Kentucky Legislature Will Begin Balloting in January. The Condition One of Extreme Em- barrassment—Popaliats Hold the Balance ef Power.. The Kentucky legislature will begin bat- tling for a successor to Mr. Blackburn in the United States Senate early in January. The situation is one of extreme embarrass- ment, and the contest promises te be most exciting. The democrats and republicans are evenly-divided, leaving a small popu- listic contingent of two or three holding the balance of power. To which side, and unaer what conditions, will this small con- tingent turn? Or will the two old parties permit the prize to be decided in that way? May they not in some way of their own inake terms between themselves, and com- promise either on a republican acceptable to democrats or a democrat acceptable to republicans? It would be a very simple proposition if all of the democratic members of the legis- lature were free silver men. In that case M-. Blackburn would sueceed himself with- out any trouble. The populists are for free silver, and probably like him better than any of che democratic candidates. But the democratic members are divided on the money question. Some are for sound Money, and it is thought to be extremely doubtful if they will even consider a prop- osition to vote for Mr. Blackburn. The ke- lef now is that they would prefer a round money republican to him. Trouble About Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle's name comes up, but in- stantly there is impeachment of his course in the contest over the state ticket. The mayor of his own town of Covington voices this. The free silver men, it is pre- dicted, will swell the cry. The Star has already stated that some of Mr. Carlisle's friends here and at home regretted the at- titude In which circumstances seemed finally to force him in the Kentucky fight. He incurred criticism when he decided to go home to vote. Would he, cr would he not, vote for Hardin? Naturally, he re- fused to answer the inquiry. But he there- by added to the curiosity excited. The sound money democrats asserted that he would not, because they hoped he would not. hey insisted that he owed it to them to stand with thems; that they had come out into the open of opposition to Hardin on his account. The silver men, on the other hand, claimed that the brave act of the Secretary coming home to vote answered the question; that had he de- sired to emphasize a continued opposition to Hardin he would have decided to remain in Washington. All of this is to be brought up in the fight before the legislature, not only as against Mr. Carlisle himself, but with the view also of defeating anybody upon whom his favor may-seem to fall. In Case of m Deadlock. In case of a deadlock, Gev. Bradley, it is suggested, may be‘chasen as the compromise man. Kentucky republicans in Washington are of opinion that Goy. Bradley will not permit himself to be diverted in that way from the task his party has cut out for him. There is said to be work for him to do for which no other man in the governor's chair at Frankfort would be half so well qualified. There are state issues to be settled, oid abuses to be exposed, with the detalls of which he has made himself altogether familiar, and about which he has talked with the people, on the stump and off, for years past. And. now. that he has been elected governor—those issues, it is claimed, playing a part in his success—he is commit- ted to a correction of existing abuses in the line that he himself has marked out. It is expected,indeed, that the old democratic ring at Franfort—against which, it is stated, the present democratie governor has fought while In office with much courage and vigor, though without success—is to be Lexowed by the new administration in the most thorough manner. Gov. Brown, standing almost alone and in opposition to men in his own party, could do but little beyond pointing to the evil. But Gov. Bradley will have great bower, and he is expected to exercise it with some startling results. —————— TAMMANY AND CLEVELAND. No Hope of a Reconciliation Between the Two. There is no prospect ef a reconciliation Uetween Tammany In New York and Mr. Cleveland. The talk that has been in- dulged in about thé New. York organization uniting with the Cleveland men to send a sclid delegation for Cleveland to the dem- ocratic national convention is more face- tiousness than anything else. It is claimed that the organization of the machine will have complete control of the selection of delegates, and that the delegation will re- sist any attempt to give Cleveland a xe- nomination. If they do not present the name of a New York candidate (other than Cleveland), it is said that they will sup- port a western man, probably Morrison. ———__+-« + ENGAGED ON HIS MESSAGE.

A FEW SAMPLE =~ COMBINATIONS Those From the Republican Fac- tory Are More Numerous. NEW DESIGNS EXPECTED The most extensive industry of the day is presidential ticket-making. A large force is employed, and the work turned out is of a highly creditable character. Some of the designs are a trifle eccentric, and some fan- tastic, but all command attention, and em- phasize the wealth of material ready to the designers’ hands. It is but another evidence of the fact that this Is a truly great coun- try. The favorite design is to match an eastern man with a western man, or vice versa. Republican Possibilities. Harrison and Morton. This, as the book- makers cry out on the English race tracks, is “the old firm, the true firm, the firm that pays you money.” The platform that goes with this ticket is ‘‘a return of old times with the return of the old ticket.” Harrison and Hawley. The placky west and the plucky east. A ticket benetiting by “apt alliteration’s artful aid,” and appealing strongly to the soldier vote. McKinley and Morton. Protection and sound finance. The younger man steadied by the sober counsels of the elder. McKinley and Griggs. Ohio, a republican veteran, marching alongside of New Jersey, a new recruit, and showing him how to keep a steady step. Allison and Lodge. The great northwest and the great northeast. Agriculture and manufactures both protected under the aegis of the American policy. Allison and Depew. The sober earnestness of the one relieved and made popular by the crackling wit of the other. In the White House a man with an eye for business; in the Senate house a man with an eye for bon- hommie. Reed Combinations. Reed and Manderson. The big giant of the east and the little giant of the west. Pluck and brains at both ends. Americans to the backbone, and republicans all over. Beat them if you can. Reed and McKinley. Protection and par- liamentary reform. The necessity of doing business, and the way to do business. No nonsense, but a cheerful execution of a great trust. A systematic revision of the tariff on undisguised protection lines, and the restoration of a wise commercial reciproc- ity under special conventions. Morton and Bradley. Peace between the sections and good will among men. The empire state and “The Old Kentucky Home.” Money in the bank and plenty of “grass” in your liquot. One of the safest and most sagacious of public men and one of the best stump speakers in America. Morton and Foraker. Sagacity and snap. Tusiness and bounce. The man who never makes a mistake, and the man who recovers from one with unparalleled ease and success. Some Democratic Sample: There are but gew designs shown on the democratic side, owing to circumstances well understood, but those exhibited are worthy of notice, and suggest at least how effective they would be had public taste not so sudder.ly have undergone so radical a change. Hill and Campb Adverse majorities, mountain high, cannot overawe, nor re- peated defeats diminish, their party loyalty. A prompt response whenever democracy blows her horn. Hill and Stevenson. Eastern bimetallism and middle state free coinage. Party re- wards to party men. No mugwumpery. Morrison and Flower. Viain and exper- ienced men, without either fear or frilis. Tariff reform, with the name blown in the bottle. Sound money, of the soundest va- riety. Business-like methods in public of- fice, and an honest administraiion of public affairs. Morrison and Russell. The old democ- racy and the young democracy. The man who made the issue of -tariff reform, and the man who stands for its growth among the young men of the east. Neither within reach of any Wall street influence. These are only samples of many designs that have been turned out within a brief period. The possibilities of attractive com- binations are numerous, and as the winter comes on and wears away, the work, already so auspiciously inaugurated, prom- ises to be pushed with increasing zeal. To what profit, ultimately, seems hardly to the point. Ticket-making, and the ticket made, are different thing: = Personal Mention. Mr. Ellis Mills, consul general at Hono- lulu, and Mrs, Mills are at the Raleigh. The‘r wedding tour will extend to the far Pacific isles. A. G.

Senator Hill of New York, accompanied by State Senator Murphy, called upon Sec- retary Lamont at the War Department this morning and the incident set the tongues of all the political gossips wagging at a live- ly rate. The exact nature of the business discussed at the conference cannot be defin itely ascertained, but it Is stated at the Sec- retary’s office that {t had no political six- nificance whatsoever. CHANGE OF COMMANDERS A CORNER IN SILVER Bear Admiral Carpenter to Be Succeeded by Commoijore McNair. The New Officer Familiar With the Asiatic Station by Reason of Former Service. Orders have been issued for Commodore F. V. McNair to relieve Rear Admiral C. C. Carpenter of command of the naval forces on the Asiatic station. The change at this time is somewhat of a surprise, inasmuch as it was generally believed that Admiral Carpenter would continue in command un- til shortly before his legal retirement,which takes place February 27 next. Secretary Herbert received a cablegram from him Saturday saying that his wife was seri- ously $l at her home in this country, and asking te be relieved at once. In view of the pressing nature of the case, the Secre- tary cabled him permission to return home as quickly as he desired. His Efficient Service. Admiral Carpenter is now on his flag- ship, the Baltimore, at Woosung, near Shanghai, and it is believed Le will take passage on the first steamer leaving the latter port for San Francisco. On arriv- ing at home he will be placed on waiting orders to await retirement. He was in Chinese waters during the short and de- cisive war between China and Japan, and performed his duties during those trying times with rare tact and discretion. More recently he has rendered excellent service in protecting American missionaries and preserving the peace in disturbed districts. His Successor. Commodore McNair, who succeeds to his important station, is now on duty in this city, as president of the naval examining and retiring board. He has served several years on the Asiatic station, and is well ac- quainted with its physical characteristics. His new detail will give him the rank of act- ing rear admiral, and he will have all the prerogatives of that grade without the pay. He is well up on the list of commodores, and will attain the actual rank of admiral in a comparatively short time. He will proceed to his distant station without del; and will sail the latter part of this month from San Francisco for Yokohama, where he will hoist his flag on the cruiser Olympla, which vessel arrived there Saturday, eighteen days from Honolulu. The cruiser Baltimore, which was Admiral Carpenter’s flagship, has been on the Asiatic station for two years, and the Olympia was sent out for her relief. The Baltimore will probably start for San Francisco in a few weeks. She will bring home all the men whose time is nearly out, and will herself be put out of commis- sion in order to receive a thorough overhaul- ing, of which she is reported to be in great need. No Decrease in Force. It is stated at the Navy Department that the strength of the Asiatic squadron will not be decreased until all danger of disturb- ance in that part of the world growing out of the recent war-and existing complications shall have disappeared. It comprises the strongest fleet the United States has on any foreign station, and at present includes rine warships, as follows: Olympia, Balti- more, Charleston, Yorktown, Machias, Con- cord, Detroit, Petrel and Monocacy. Of these the Baltimore will shortly be detached. It is said that the Charleston will also be ordered home in a few months, and that her place will be taken by the Boston, which will be put in commission at San Francisco in a few days. The New Flagship. The Olympia, the new flagship of the Asiatic station, is the finest vessel of the United States navy that has ever visited Chinese waters. She is larger and more powerful than the Baltimore, and will com- pare favorably with any vessel of her type in the world. She is superior to all of tne Eritish or other foreign cruisers now in Chinese waters. Her high speed and mod- ern equipment will make her a great at- traction in the orient. WIL Sail on the 30th Instant. Acting Admiral McNair today notified Secretary Herbert that he has arranged to sail from San Francisco on the 3Uth in- stant for Yokohama, and that he will he accompanied by Mrs. McNair, by Lieut. L. L. Reamey as his secretary and by Lieut. G. W. Logan as flag lieutenant of the Asiatic station. Lieut. Reamey is now naval ald to Secretary Herbert and iufeut. Logan is attached to the Dolphin. paee Bees Sta 3 EMBARRASSING TO CLEVELAND. How the Results of the Election Will Aficet the President in Congress. The friends of the administration are still trying to’convey the impression that Mr. Cleveland is not concerned about the general defeat which his party has suf- fered. The fact is said to be, however, that the result of the election is likely to em- barrass him during the winter, particularly as to his financial plans, It is evident that he cannot escape being held responsible by most of the democrats in Congress for the defeat, and some of the secrets of his con- duct toward not only this campaign, but toward that of last year, when the republi- can Congress was elected, are expected to be disclosed in speeches in both houses. There is no doubt entertained ai this time that there will be such difficulty avout se- curing revenue legislation satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland that recourse will have to again b2 had to a bond issue. If authority of Congress is asked for a new issue of bonds, it is believed that the democrats generally will resist it, and the republicans will then not feel like taking the respon- sibility of following the recommendations of a democratic President against the pro- test of his own party. ; If, failing to get spectal authorization from Corgress, a bond issue is made on the plan of the last cne, democrats are ex- pected to promptly attack the administra- , in order to disavow any sympathy with Mr. Carlisle’s former acts, and, again, the republicans will hardly feel that they can defend him. An investigation of the last bond transaction and of several other matters of administration are expected to he started soon after Congress meets. In these it is believed that democrats will not pretend to defend the administration, but will rather join with the prosecution. The perty defeat has simply divorced the dis- satisfied democrats from even the forms of association with the administration, and gives the prospect of a general attack on the meeting of Congress. . ——— Death of Dr. Norris. Word has been received at the War De- partment of the death at San Francisco last night of Col. Basil Norris of the medical department of the army.

Action of a Syndicate in Pan- ama. TRYING 10 RELIEVE THE SiTUATICN White Metal Was Shipped From New York. BUT IT WAS KEPT OUT —_+—____ (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) COLON, November 3.—A syndicate was formed a few months since among the lead- ing merchants of Panama and Colon to control the silver currency in circulation on the Isthmus of Panama, and has been, so far, successful enough to seriously affect the Panama Comrany, and in a lesser de- gree the Panama Railroad Company to their detriment. It has caused a reduction in the premium on gold from 245 per cent to 200 per cent,and it looks now as if gold would go still lower in consequence of the expor- tation of large sums to New York, London, ard elsewhere, and the locking up o° other large sums. The scarcity of silver coin is seriously felt in business transactions, ard United States, English and French coin cir- culate almost as freely as the legal comage of the country. 2 Both the Panama Canal and Railroad Companies now have trouble to get suffi- cient Colombian silver to pay their laborers unless they buy i: from the syndicate at the price dictated by it. To circumvent this movement, the Panama Railroad Company lately purchased $50,000 of Colombian silver in New York at the market price, which was about $2.14 for $1 United States gold, and shipped it to Colon, but before it ar- river there the syndicate was informed of the fact by cable and application was made to. the governor of Panama to enforce a law passed in 1892, which prohibits the im- portation of silver coin of any country less than 900 fine. This law was passed to pre- vent the importation and circulation of Peruvian and Mexican soles, which at the time were at a greater discount than Co- lombian silver. The governor refused to allow the rail- rcad company to land the money, even though it was the legal currency of the country, and relief was sought by cabling the national authorities at Logota, the capital; but up to the time of sailing of the vessel on whica the coin was shipped no reply had been received and it was re- turned to New York. If the national authorities uphold the action of the governor cf Panama and the legal coinage of the republic is prohibited fiom being returned if once exported, the syndicate carn make what coin remains in the country of equal value to gold if it so desires. Abroad the valve is controlled by the Erice of silver bullion, and at present $1 Colombian silver is worth about 46% cents in United States currency. The Panama Canal Company, which is now employing about 2,600 men, who re- ceive from 9 cents to $1.50 per day, secures its silver currency fer its monthly pay rolis by selling drafts on Pans, London er New York, and is at the mercy of-the syndicate uriess it adopts a gold basis in payment for labor, or can buy Colombian silver in New Yerk or London at its market value. —__—_ ee A BETTER FEELING APPARENT. Marked Improvement in the Fi Condition tn Paris. PARIS, November 11.—The Rappel this morning says great financial houses have decided to place at the disposal of the market from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 francs, in order to facilitate a settlement. The speech of the Marquis of Salisbury, delivered in London on Saturday last, is said to have had good effect here. Baron de Rothschild and the minister of finance, M. Doumer, had a conference this morning and subsequently the latter re- ceived the governor of the Bank of France and the syndic of the Agents de Change. The meetings have had a marked effect in improving the financial situation, al- though it is not known what course has been decided upon. It now appears that the accounts of a firm interested in 60,000 shares, of which 30,000 are chartereds, are now being closed. Many others, mostly small, it is feared, slump. A semi-official note was issued this after- noon, saying: “As a result of conferences this morning at the ministry on finance, measures will be taken to remove the panic prevailing on the bourse. Baron de Rothschild has con- ferred with the principal Paris bankers, and ii is understood that the latter have decided to intervene.” VIENNA, November 11.—The speech of Marquis of Salisbury had a quieting effect upon the bourse here. BERLIN, November 11.—There was a better feeling on the bourse here today as a result of the speech which the Marquis of Salisbury made in London on Saturday. Prices Better in London. LONDON, November 11.—The stock mar= ket opened strcng this morning, the speech which the rquis of Salisbury delivered at the lord mayor's banquet on Saturday lust having had a reassuring effect. Con- sols for money ned at 105 3-8, an advance of 1%; consols ,for the account opened at 105 11-16, an advance of 3-16. 5 Prices were better today in all depart- ments. The recovery would have been more marked but for the anxiety felt in re- gard to the coming settlement, A series of failures is feared here and abroad. racial —_—_—_—_ DUNRAVEN STRONGLY CRITICISED. London Comment on His Charges of Foul Play. LONDON, November 11.—The St. James Gazette this afterncon says it is not sur- prised that Lord Dunraven’s pamphlet has raised a storm of indignation in America, adding: ° “His charge of foul play is entirely gratul- tous. It is totally unworthy of any good sportsman to make such a charge now, when no inquiry is possible, and it Is ex- ceedingly discreditable. “The officials of the New York Yacht Club have behaved throughout like gentlemen and sportsmen. If the accusations are untrue, and we decline to credit them without fur- ther proof, this manner of making them will not only stop all cup contests, but will make it very difficult for any yachtsman with particle of self-respect to race against the accuser in the future. Lord Dunraven said in his recent charges: “I am of the opinion that the Defender dtd not sail on her measured load water li length in the race. Early Saturday, the day of the first race, those aboard the City | of Eriigeport noticed that the Defender was visibly deeper in the water than when she was measured. When he put Mr. Henderson aboard, at 9 o'clock, Lord Dunraven wei perfeetly certain that she was four inches deeper than she was when she was meas- ured.” On his complaint the yachts were meas- ured again. He says: } “Nobody was placed in charge. Tho Dee / fender lay all night with the Hattie Palmer alongside of her,” intimating that the De- | fender was lightened or could have been | lightened at night to reduce her load-water line.
