THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1901 RUSSIA IS PREPARING TO TAKE A HAND IN TROUBLE BREWING 'BETWEEN TURKEY AND FRANCE 4 | BRUSSELS, Aug. 28.—A dispatch to the Petit Bleu from Vienna says: “According to advices from !

All the councils general are now sitting and even those in which the op- ponents of the Government are in the majority are passing resolutions warmly congratulating President Loubet and the Ministry on the occasion of the Czar's visit, which is regarded as a happy re- sult of the Government’s foreign policy. The Temps (semi-official) has a note this afternoon on the lines of the inter- view which a correspondent obtained yes- terday with a high official of the Foreign Office, saying: “The rupture as yet is only the per- sonal act of M. Constans, and will only become official and complete if the Sul- tan persists in_his present attitude, in which case, as Munir Bey is absent from France, it will only be necessary to notify him not to return until diplomatic rela- tions are resumed.” = REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SULTAN IN PARI§ AND THE OFFICIAL | { ! s | i OF THE REPUBLIC WHO MAY OTTOMAN DIPLOMAT HIS PASSPORTS.

Gl s 26, YACHT COLUMBIA SCORES A DECISIVE VICTORY OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 22.—The Co- lumbia gave the Constitution a good, sound beating to-day around the Seawan- haka triangular course. On corrected time the older boat won by two minutes and five seconds and on elapsed time by one minute and thirty-nine seconds. But the figures do not represent the decisiveness of the Columbia’s victory, for, as a mat- ter of fact, she beat the new boat twice. The first time around the triangle of four- teen and three-fourths miles the Columbia galned over five minutes. Then a shift of wind_on_the short leg across the sound put the Constitution on even terms, when a new race was practically started, the breeze now coming true again. This time the Columbia gained over a minute and a half. It was a day of fluky sound breezes, but if either boat got any advantage from the frequent change in the wind it. was the Constitution.

CARLIN, Nev., Aug. 22.—The superb speclal train bearing Golden Gate Com- mandery, Knights Templar, to Loulsviile crossed Nevada to-day in clouds of alkall dust. Only one stop of importance was | made, which was at Winnemucca, where the inhabitants were regaled with a half | hour’s drill by the corps under command | of Colonel Willlam Edwards. The dust was nearly a foot deep and | the heat intense, but the drill was exe- | cuted with such snap and precision as to | win_the applause of Captain Purington, | U. 8. A., former drillmaster of Chicago's crack commandery corps, who is a guest ©on board. The entire party of 100 are in fine health and are looking forward eagerly to the | entertainment in store at Louisville and | en route. Among the notables on board | are Right Eminent Grand Commander | George B. McKee, Grand Secretary Wil- liam A. Davies, Acting Grand Generalis- | simo Wagrer and Past Commander Petrle | and wife. Golden Gate Commandery is the official jescort of these grand officers. Seven Knights of Coeur de Lion Commandery of Los Angeles and several helated members of California Commandery are also on the train, The comfort of the travelers is | being looked after by Sir Knight W. D. Sine, Master of Transportation Peter | Harvey of the Baltimore and Ohfo and | other railroad men. Luncheon was served to-day in picnic style in the composite car under the direction of Commissary A. {J. de Lamare. An _‘impromptu concert was given on board to-night, with Colorel Edwards as | master of ceremonies. Acting Eminent Commander R. B. Moore gave a welcom- |ing address, to which responses were made | by Grand Commander McKee and others. To-morrow morning the train will ar- rive at Salt Lake, where a stop of six hours will be made, Incessant drilling will be the order of the day for the corps and the other members of the party wiil visit Saltaire Beach and view the his- toric Mormon city. | @ ibrimiiioieledeieeiniieieeieinini @ ditions which have heretofore always fa- vored the Constitution. The new boat did not seem to have any of the speed she has shown In light airs. She was slug- gish on the starting line, and although the two yachts crossed almost at the same minute with a one-gun start, the Co- iumbia romped off and took a lead of an eighth of a mille while the Constitution was gathering way.

Then, too, the club topsail was_almost useless In the windward work. The club was badly bent and the canvas did little work when the Constitution was close hauled. But all this does not account for her defeat. Even on the last leg of the race, in close reach for the home mark, while both boats had exactly the same wind and the Constituslon s salls were apparently draw: ing for all they were worth, the Co- lumbia added over a minute to her lead.

ATTORNEY: PREPARING A PROTEST Schley Objects to Rear Admiral Howison on | Inquiry. Vague Hints of Charges That Certain Records Have Been Mutilated. Copies of Letters and Telegrams Be- tween Sampson and Washington May Be Found, However, in Secret Archives. PR R Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Rear Ad- miral Schley’'s attorneys are preparing to make a vigorous protest against the ser- vice of Rear Admiral Howison as a mem- ber of the court of inquiry, and it is al- ready apparent that if he is not replaced by some other officer, Admiral Schley's friends will set up a cry as soon as the finding of the court i{s made known that that tribunal was packed against their favorite. Rear Admiral Schley’s attorneys will present an affidavit sworn to by a reporter of a Boston paper who wrote the inter- view against which complaint is made., If Rear Admiral Howison stands by his statements in the letter to the depart- ment, Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral Benham will be forced to pass upon the question of veracity between Rear Ad- miral Howison and the reporter. Some of the officlals of the Navy Department hope that all friction over this matter | may be avoided by Admiral Howison Ye- | questing the department to relieve him or the ground that it is evident that he would be unsatisfactory to Rear Admiral Schley, the officer who has asked for the court of inquiry. May Ask to Be Relieved. If the Boston reporter correctly quoted Rear Admiral Howison, it may be that that officer will recall the circumstances and will realize that he ought not to serve on the court and request the department to relieve him. In the meantime Admiral Schley 1s mak- ing another effort to have the Navy De- partmént call the alleged interview to Rear Admiral Howison's attention and | ask him whether it is correct. He wrote | a letter to Acting Secretary Hackett to- | night protesting against the action of that | official and insisting that his previous let- ter was not a preliminary challenge of Rear Admiral Howison. He contends that the department should grant his first | request and ask Rear Admiral Howison | about the interview. Acting Secretary | Hackett sent for Schley's attorneys to- | day and had a lengthy conference at the | Navy Department. At its conclusion | neither Hackett nor the lawyers would | say what had been decided. They agree | in a statement, however, that the ques- tion of Rear Admiral Howison serving as | | a member of the court- had not been . the subject of discussion. et Hints of Scrious Charges. Vague hints were dropped at the Navy | Department to-day that serious charges | will be made on behalf of Schiey that | some one in the department has mutilated | the records; that letters have disappeared | and that pages out of letter press copy | books have also disappeared. Owing to stringent orders issued by the department | against discussion of the Schley case it | is impossibie to get accurate statements | on this point. ' | It is also intimated that it has been im- | possible to procure documentary evidence in support of Rear Admiral Schley from the War Department. His attorneys have been unable to find the original dispatch sent by Colonel Allen of the Signal Ser-| vice to General Greely announcing the | arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago. In the Secret Archives. | There is reason for believing, however, | that this dispatch is on file in the secret | archives of the Signal Service, and that | in the absence of General Greely in the | Philippines, subordinates in his office have | not been willing to give it up. During | the war with Spain General Greely re- ceived many dispatches which were not | put on the regular file and knowledge of which was withheld from even confiden- | tial clerks in the office, as General Greely | would take no risk of the sources of his information becoming known. Published records of the War and Navy Departments indicate, however, that Rear Admiral Sampson was advised on May 19| of the receipt of this information, though it does not appear that he was informed of the source from which it came, and could not know how reliable it was. It developed to-day that the Navy Depart- ment is arranging to summon witnesses from Cuba, including some of the Insur- gents who displayed the signal at Clen- fuegos. The Comptroller of the Treasury to-day decided that such witnesses can be given | mileage at the rate of 5 cents per mile and witness fees at the rate of §1 50 per day.

Shortly atter the disappearance of Dr. ‘Willlam York, who was last seen travei- ing along the old Osage near the tavern kept by the Benders, a party of twelve men, Stone being one of the number, searched the Bender house mission road and found the gold-rimmed spectacles of Dr. York. They found a trap door and graves in the “garden” where the bodies of victims had been buried. Special Dispatch to The Call. No doubt remaining as to the guilt of the Benders, they were taken to a small clump of trees on the bank of a creek three-quarters of a mile from the tavern and the entire family, - consisting of Bender and his wife, son and daughter, Kate and John, were lynched. The bodies were buried in sand at the bottom of the creek where it widens into a small lake. The twelve men, according to Sggne, then dispersed, Stone moving to Linn County shortly after. This, he declares, is the first authentic account of the kill- | ing. Stone would not reveal the names of the other men, but in conversation said | that John Sperry and himself were lead- ers of the party. There is no doubt as to the genuine- ness of this confession, for every detail is entered .into, and Stone says he will go back to Kansas and point out the graves of the murderers. The men never claimed the reward offered by the Hon. A. M. York, brother of the deceased. | Stone, who is about 70 years of age, said he desired to clear up the mystery and set the minds of the people at rest be- fore he died, and therefore consented to make the confession. A. Y. Smith, a resident of this county, who worked with a detective agency in Kansas at that time, corroborates the story of Stone, He came to Oregon about the same time Stone did.

Leftwich, who was appointed pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, South, dropped dead yesterday at the parsonage. He had been apparently in | the best of health and his death, which was due to a stroke of apoplexy, was a great shock to his friends and parishion- ers. Dr. Leftwich was transferred to this city from the Northwest Texas confer- ence, having been stationed at El Paso. His old home was Nashville, Tenn., and his body will be shipped to that city. He left three children, all of whom are grown. Heroism Brings Him to Death.
