At Constantinople the Sultan Monday evening made a final reply to the application of United States Minister Terrell for permission to have Consul .Tewett make an independent inquiry into Armenian troubles. The Sultan positively declined to allow the Consul to accompany the commission. The refusal was not unexpected at "Washington. The reluctance of the Turkish (lovernment is accounted for by the formidable proportions to which the agitation in the United States in favor of intercession on behalf of the Armenians in Turkey has attained.

The Auditor of Illinois may receive an acquisition to his "Deposit Fund" of many hmnlrcd thousands of dollars, and an advantage long enjoyed by trust cmpanies createl under the laws of other States over Illinois and Chicago trust companies may disappear, in eonseuence of points raised in the complicated Northern Pacific railroad lawsuits. Attorney Cromwell for tho Northern Pacific Company made the surprising claim that the mortgage for $40.000,00 was void, because the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, trustee of the mortgage, had invalhlated its own act by neglecting to comply nith the law of Illinois. This law says in Sec. S: "It shall not be lawful for any such company to accept any trust or deposit as hereinbefore provided, after the passage of this act, without first procuring from the Auditor of Public Accounts a certificate of authority stating that such company has complied with the requirements of this act, in respect to such deposit." Sec. 0 of the act stipulates that the deposit shall be $200,000. Mr. Cromwell's statement meant that the Farmers' Ioan nml Trust Company had not deposit the $200,000 required by the act. In financial circles it is said n good many foreign trust companies, acting in a e-apacity similar to that of the Farmers' Ijofln and Trust Company in the Northern Pacific bonds, have likewise failed to comply with the law requiring this di'posit. In fact, it is said it is hard to pick out any that have done so. SOUTHERN. Alabama papers plan to kill off Kolb by agreeing not to print his name.
