DETECTIVES AT AMERICAN LEGATION Btationed There by Turkish Government to Defend Foreign Oitisens UNITED STATES FORCE MAY BE LANDED —_— Must Bepure Permission for Warship to Go Through Dardanelles TURKEY IS SEARCHING FOR ASSAILANT Does Not Know Whether Man Whe Shot at Viee Consul Magelssen s Among Those Who Have WABHINGTON, Sept. 4.—~Minister Lelsh- man has cabled the State department that owing to the disturbed conditions in Con- stantinople an additional kavass, or detec- tive force, had been stationed at the Ameri- can legation. This action was taken on the suggestion of the Turkish government, which has assured the Americar minister that it will use every precaution to protect all for- elgners, but has warned the different em- bassies and legations that it would be well to strengthen the force inside the bulldings. In case a necessity develops It is probable that the Turkish government will allow #¥e United Btates to send a detachment of marines from the squadron which ls ex- pected to arrive at Beyroot today. The United States has no .authority to send a war ship through the Dardanelies and would have to have the consent of Turkey and also that of other European powers to do so. Minister Leishman, in his cablegram, in- Yormed tie department that a number of governments have landed marines In Con- stantinople for the protection of the em- bassies. i The porte, in advising the foreign em- bassles and legations of the measures taken to protect them, ndded a warning against Builgarfan bandits who might attempt to elude the Turkish guards and attack the forelgners from within, ¥ew Marines with Ships. It 1s a matter of some comment that | there are only about 200 marines with the “Jouropean: squadron but these, with the “nvasses already In the service of the lega- tion and with the Turkish guards assigned to Minister Leishman, wil), it ia believed, prove sufficient for any emergency likely to arise. Ofetals of the State department com- menting on the item from Paris saying that #hips of forelgn powers would be sent to Turkish waters, stated that the United Btates was now sending ships to Turkish waters., The term “Turkish waters” does not mean Constantinople they say. qnd fle the whole eastern portion of the terranaan wan<misht be, enversd with ‘warships, it was possible that none of thém ‘would force the Dardanelles. After the Crimean war a treaty was made which has been followed up by subsequent treattes which prohibit warships from entering the Dardanelles without the consent of Turke: and Turkey must have the assent of a the signatory powers. May Not Pass Dardanelles. In 1868 Admiral Farragut with the flag- #hip Franklin was Invited and ascended tha Dardanelles and the powers protested. (Then it was determined that no vessel of ‘war could enter the Dardanelles. There is a_proviso, however, that in case Turkey is at war with another power she might admit ships of a friendly power. This, it is sald, here, is directed at Russia. In 1900, Turkey, under the treaty, refused to allow efther Marblehead or Bancroft, American war- ships, to enter the Dardanelles. Small ships of other nations are allowed in the Bosphorus and have been sent through the Dardanelles, but these are called legation vessels and rated of little fmportance. However, they carry sallors which may be used for legation guards at any time. It is believed that in case the United States desired to sent a launch or #mall vessel with a guard for the Ameriean legation, Turkey would have a right to admit them to the Dardanelles without con- sulting and obtaining the permission of the powers. Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister, called on Becrelam Hay today to inform him that he had recelved from his forelgn office of- ficlal advices to the effect that the Amer- feah consul at Beyroot was entirely matls- fled with the measures Turkey had taken %o protect life and property there and to Anvestigate and act with respect to the Vice Consul Magelssen assault. ‘While the condition existing In Constan- tinople as well as in other portions of Tur- key is extremely unsatisfactory, the Wash- ington government does not beljeve shat there is any serlous danger ah not- nding that the tone of the diggatch Minister Lelshman shows esn. At the same time the United States will approve every precaution taken by the diplomatic corps and our minister for the safety of the foreign representatives. The alsposition of the cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco of Admiral Cotton's squadron, which arrived at Beyroot today, bas not yet been fully determined by the administration. Orders regarding the move- ment of the vessels pave been sent to Ad- miral Cotton and much will depend on the character of the report he makes concern- ing conditions in and about Beyroot, and on the representations which may come from the minister as to the necessity for the presence of American war vessels in Turk- ish waters for the protection of the int esta of the citizens of the United Btates in the sultan's domain. Acting Secretary Darling up to 9: o'clock tonight had not heard from Admirfal Cotton. No British Marines Landed. LONDON, Sept. 4—No British marines have bean landed at Constantinople so far as the Forelgn office is informed, but it is said that if the British embassy requires protection the ambassador i3 authorized to call upon the commander of the British guardship for guards. The Forelgn office considers it probable that Russia and Austria have landed ma- rines to protect their embassies, as & result of the porte's note to the ambassadors, warning them that the Bulgarian agitators were projecting outrages against the em- bassies, legations and public bulldings at Constantinople. So far as the Forelgn of- fice knows, Constantinople is quiet. The Post publishes a letter from its Con- stantinople correspondent in which he dis- cusses the Beyroot affair and the position of the American missionaries in Asia Minor.

BOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 4.—Colonel Jan- Xoff, the Insurgent leader, with three leu- tenants of the Servian army, at the head of a band of 400 insurgents, with a flag Nying, crossed the frontier on Monday evening and passed through the Turkish posts unopposed. General Zontichieff, president of the Macedonian committes, in the disguise of a sheep dealer, also crossed the frontier, Captain Stoyanoft's band captured ffty Turkish soldiers at Rakovitza (about fifteen miles southeast of Sofia) August 81, took their arms and ammunition and proceeded to Melnishko. A dispatch from Rila (forty miles trom Sofla) says the date of the general in- surrection has been postponed. According to reliable information from Constantinople, Turkey will shortly have 400,000 soldiers in Macedonia. The prospects of the appearance of such an Immehse army causes the most intense anxisty here. 1t I8 regarded as certaln to arouse the ap- prehension of the powers.

PEKING, Sept: 4—The severe wounds in- flicted upon two Americans yesterday by French soldlers has created general indig- nation against the policy of the German and French commanders in ordering their soldiers to carry side arms while off duty. After the German-Austrian affray last May all of the forelgn commanders agreed to prohibit the carrying of side arms while the men were outside of their posts. This reement, however, was overruled by the German general, and the soltilers of the kalser were again ordered to wear side arms and the example was followed by tha French. All of the other forelgn soldiers travel about unarmed. Witnesses to this affair of yesterday declare that the French were clearly the aggressors.

Later it was announced that a group of officers of the Nish garrison decided to kill all the conspliratorsjponcerned in the palace assassinations and’ that many officers ot other garrisons joined them. It was In- tended to act at an early date, but the news leaked out and all the conspirators were arrested during the night. Fort seven officers have been arrested at Nish alone. WILL NOT EXPELL GIBBONS Government Fr Statement as ¥ Absurd, PARIS, Sept. 4.—An article published by the Patric that the government might expel Cardinal Gibbons from France, owing to his alleged statements to the Breton and other French clergy. Is officially pro- nounced to be false and absurd The gov- ernment officers also express -indignation at such o careloss use of the cardinal's name. Cardinal Gibbons wrote to the Assoclated Press, August 28, saying that his alleged meetings with the Breton and other clergy of France were fabrications without an fota of truth in them, BERLIN, Sept. 4—Influential newspapers and magazines arp urging the government to limit the number of forelgners instructed in the German technical high schools, or more properly, technical universitios, which are overcrowded. Out of & total of 14,628 students, 2,242 are forelgners. Nearly halt of these are Russlans and there are a few Americans. Besides glving trade com- petitors the benefit of German knowledge, | the promoters of the exclusion argue that | the overcrowding prevents the Germans from getting the best results from the in- struction. Alleged Priest Arrested. BERLIN, Sept. 4—A man afirming that he is an American priest, named Guclinsky, recently arrived at Glewits, Poland, with six girls, who, it is alleged, he was taking to a convent in St. Louls, with the object of fighting Polishism. He had an Amerfcan passport, according to a newspaper dis- patch, and papers showing he had studied for the priesthood. The man was arrested under a paragraph in the immigration law forbldding the enticing of young girls out of the coutnry. Sensation Caused by Army Order, VIENNA, Sept. 4—The garrison of Buda Pest, Hungary, which was expected to o to the army maneuvers yesterday, was at the last moment ordered to remain at Buda Pest during the visit of Emperor Francls Joseph, who is there today.

This startled the Indian bureau. Heretofore these heirship land transters have been going through as though greased. and Secretary Hitehcock apparently heard a rumble some- where maybe that all is not right, and it looks as if he might be taking a back track. Of the thirty-one transfers re- Jected today, there is no special object as- | signed except that for “various reasons’ it 1s thought best to hold them up until further light can be shed upon them. It is assorted that Secretary Hitchcock has at last placed his ear to the ground and has decided to proceed slowly in further approval of the transfer of heirship lands, not only on the Omaha and Winnebago reservations, but in all other reservations. It has frequently been asserted at the office of the secretary, notwithstanding that oral as well as written statements have been submitted to him regarding loose methods in vogue on the Omaha and Win- nebago reservation, that no investigation was' contemplated. Perhaps none will be had, but the disapproval of thirty-one' of these heirship transters in one day Is sig- nificant, to say the least. Something is evidently occurring in Thurston county. Extend Rural Routes. Representative Burkett had a conference today with Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow relative to rural free de- lvery routes in his district and the half hour's contest might be termed a draw. Bach receded, but in the main the repre- sentative from the Second Nebraska dis- trict gained a few polnts. Under tha new program which Mr. Bristow has mapped out, he will extend the length of rural routes in the prairie districts from twenty- five to thirty miles, and by this means thinks that the object of having at least 100 families served upon each route will ba obtained. Of sixty routes for which Mr. Burkett is fighting, at least one-halt do not have 100 familles, living along the twenty-five miles. ‘Through the extension of five miles it Is thought that all sixty routes petitioned for would be able to show 100 famflles on each routs. A* special in- spector will be sent into Mr. Burkett's dis- trict to resurvey these disputed routes, carrying ictions to base his new cal. m‘ iteg thirty milés In length. it that he would prob- ably remain in Washington il Monday, When he hoped to be able to start home.

WIDE WATER, Va., Sept. 4—~The pros- pective launching this afternoon of Prof. Langley's blg aerodrome was abandoned at 4 o'clock after the port propeller, re- volving about 60 times per minute, had wrecked itself among the rods and bars of the machine. Both blades of the pro- peller were torn to small pleces and one of the main supporting rods of the air- ship was bent to a right angle. Other slight damage was done 3 The accldent was the resuit of a change occurring in some unexplained manner in the orbit of the blades. But for the prompt action of Prof. Langley, who was in the navigator's car, in shutting off his engine, the aerodrome might have been urled from the superstructure and en- tirely wrecked. At the Uime the accident occurred the newly repaired engine was being tested. It worked much better than it Ald yesterday.

The reunion has been a suceess In every par- ticular and the weather has been most favorable until this motning when it be- gan to threaten a downpour. This put a @amper on the reunfon for two hours, but when the clouds rolled by, the sun shone a spark of new life Into the camp and then the reunion was renewed with more vim and vigor than had been displayed at any other time. There was a large attendance of people from surrounding towns and they to the merry-go-round. Exercises in the Aftermoon. Today's exercises commenced at § p. m by the Introduetion of Captaln Cuiver. He stated that during the last week he had been In camp with the state militia and had come without preparation. An allu- slon of the newly born son of Judge Es- tellé made a hit with audience. He then sald: “We have always had very pleasant reuntons in Hestings, and as I understand that this has been largely conducted by the Woman's Rellef Corps, I am sure it has been an exceptionally pleasant one. This Woman's Rellet corps has done a large work In the teaching of patriotism in the Philippines, and has sent thousands ot books of instructions to that country for this purpose. The patriotic primer is one of the publications found best adapted for this work." Tagalogs Little Understand. He saw an edition of a rebel Tagalog paper, while in the Philippines, saying that Colonel Bryan was marching at the head of 4,000 soldiers to Washington to_capture the city and unseat President McKinley. The idea of our country was that an army of this size would be sufficient to accom- plish this feat. Many reminiscences of the years he spent in that county were re- counted, and instances showing the differ- ent demeanor for foreign representatives towards our vessels now as compared with thelr disrespectful behavior prior to the Spanish-American war. Since 188 América has taken the highest position among all the nations, and the unity of the country is another result of this war. As the south had_been anxious to follow the old flag, and prove its loyalty, this struggle fur- nished them the opportusiity, There is eve a movement forward, in every war, and so it has proved with both the- war of the: re- bellion and the recent war with Spain, Thi closed, Captain Culver's most interesting address. ¥ Uommander Estelle Ia Blbaved.

He has been renominated to his posi- tion of judge, and last and best of all he has become the proud father of another boy. The speaker inquired if the com- rades present were getting the best out of life. Most people live as long as they should. When thelr days of usefulness are past they are called hence. Some ex- ceptions to this rule are a puzzie, but in the majority of cases it seems that the rule holds good. An allusion to his recent western trip, relating to the Nevada desert, brought cut the fact that even in deserts can be found scenes of beauty and intérest. This should give to each of us the determination to sea the best in every situation, and get the best things possible out of every ex- perience In life. The procession ‘of old sol- | diers through Market street in San Fran- cisco was the most Interesting sight he over witnessed. He asked one of the San Francisco people why they did not bulld & tunnel under San Francisco bay. He re- sponded, “Why, Judge, we nave a fine tun- nel there, but we've not yet had time to take the dirt out of it."” Everybody Should Boost.

While theré is pronounced opposition there is little doubt but that the bar ticket will be indorsed, with the exception of Iermar Aye of Blalr, who has positively refused to accept a nomina- tion at the hands of the democratic party after having falled before the republican convention. In his place elther A. C. Wakeley or A. N. Ferguson will be sub- stituted, the elevator mar apparently stand- ing the better show.

RESULTS IN A CHANGE OF DIRECTORS Superintendent Heiner Not to Have Soe Oharge in the Future IS NOT RETIRED ALTOGETHER, HOWEVER Oase of Brownlee Girl Attracts Attention to Ite Affairs. COMMITTEE MAKES AN INVESTIGATION ‘What it Discovered Not Made Public, ement Compifed with the Conditions Imposed Upon 1t. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 4.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The management of the Tabitha home, a charitable institution of this city, was this afternoon taken from a board of which Superintendent Heiner and his im- medlate family are a majority and placed in the hands of another board, to be ap- pointed by Rev. Helner and the City Char- ity association. This action was the result of an investi- gation of the home by a committee from the Charlty assoclation which has been in progress for the last two months. Among those whose names were assoclated with the investigation were Governor Mickey, Secretary Davis of the Etate Board of Charities and Corrections; C. E. Prevey of the ity Charity association, and others. The report of the committee was ready several days but it was not made public because the committee issued an ul- timatum to Superintendent Heiner that it he would consent to it naming a board ot managers {t would not make the report public, but would work for the success of the home. This was agreed to late this evening; after a conference lasting some hours. Rev, Heiner is to be one of the committee to select the board. Meiner Family in Control The Tabitha home was organized about fif- teen years ago and there has been spent on the buildings and improvements in the nelghborhood of $60,000, most of which was donated by charitably inclined people. Rev. H. Helner was its organizer, and that he intended to control it for all time to come 18 shown by one section of the articles of tncorporation flled with the clerk of the district court. This reads that the board of directors shall include five persons who shall hold their offices for life uniess removed for cause. There are three mem- bers of the Heiner family on the board. The first repdrt that the homs was not being conducted properly came to Governor Mickey through an employe of the place, who told the governor that the inmates were not recelving enough to eat. The gov- ernor turned the matter over to Secretary Davis of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. Boon after this o letter was recelved by the governor from Henry Brownles of Canon City, Colo, saying that his daughter was confined there and asking for her release. This letter was also re- ferred to Mr. Davis. Mr. Brownles learned of the whereabouts of his daughter through a letter he recelved from her that had been afled by the cmploye who first approached Governor Mickey. 's Release In Secured, Mr. Davis at once set about to secure the girl's release. It was the tmpression of the girl that she was held there as a prisoner and could not be released.until she becams of age. Gradually her story came out and it was to the effect that she was com- pelled to make the bread for the nmates and that she did other work. It was ow- ing to the fact that she was a good bread- maker, she belleved, that Mr. Heiner wanted to keep her. Mr. Davis appealed to the attorney general and finally, after two months' hard work, he secured the girl's releass without 'appealing to thé courts. Then dhe matter was turned over to the City Charity assoclation and information began.to come in. It was to the effect that about 100 persons were belng cared for at the home, ranging In age from babes in the cradle to old men and women. Many of these were sick, and, though at first none of these would say a word against tha home, gradually they talked, and a member of % charity assoclation sald it was told him that in winter the inmates were net kept warm and that they were not prop- erly fed, sometimes the bread which con- stituted most-of the meals being too hard to eat. Some time ago the home leased the Wisner farm, near here, and at yresent fifteen of the boys, all under 12 years of age, and two girls, under U years old, under the direction of A son of Superintend- ent Heiner, were cultivating it. They are taking care of over 700 acres of ground. Means of Ralsing Fu: The institution has various means of rai ing funds for its maintenance. Some par- ties pay for the care of relatives and in some Instances charity socleties pay for keeping of destitute people. Another is by donations collected by authorized agents. On one of the pamphlets sent out are the names of & number of prominent citizens of Lincoln, designated as the “advisory board.” The list of names includes among others that of 8. H. Burpham. His name endorses this papagraph: “Oh, good friends, when you gaze round your pleasant fireside, thanking God for His kindness in protect- ing you from harm and supplying you with A1l the necessities of life, we beg you to allow your thoughts also to wander to our humble home, where 50 many unfortunates cannot enjoy the happiness of which you partake. The orphans, the aged and the feeble in our home are a sacred charge, for which we knock at your door and ask you to show good will toward men." Mr. Burnham sald last night that he had never signed any sucharticle and that he was not & member of the Tabitha home. Advisory Board iIn Ignorance. Joseph Zimmerman, state collector for the home, was here today to see Governor Mickey in regard to it. He had heard that the inmates were not being properly cared for and from his own experience with the head of the institution he sald he felt sure the reports were trus. A member of the charity organization who had investigated aid that none of the members of the ad- visory board knew anything of the home. The inmates of the home are collected from all parts of the state Helner Demles the Charges. Rev. Helner denied this morning (he charges that the inmates of Tabitha home are not receiving proper treatment. He sald: At no time have we ever kept agy in the house without his or her consent As far as Elsie Brownlee is concerned, no truth in the statement that wm to
