AFFAIRS IN TURKEY.

1H» SWAM KB*T.TMB THB MXXKB rXEUIiO AGAIK8T Bill.

Aroenlsn Refaffees on the British Vessels ftnylMid Is Very Much In Earnest This Time.

Constantinople, Sept.' 12 (via Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 14.)—There la little or no change In the political situation here, and It Is believed that the powers will not take action Immediately In the case of Sultan Abdul Hamld, a great deal depending upon the result of the czar's approaching Tlsit to Balmoral.

According to the palace officials, the audience which Sir Philap Currle, the British ambassador, had with the sultan on Friday last, resulted In convincing hi* majeaty that the feeling against him In Great Britain Is much more Intense than he or his advisers had realized, and it was Intimated to that Great Britain in certain eventualities might be compelled to take sot ton independent of other powers in preventing further disturbances here. In spite of this assurance, it Is noticeable that there is a renewal of serious anxiety among the foreign part of the population that another outbreak will occur at no distant date.

The British vessels carrying Armenian refugees are guarded by the British warship Dryad, while in these waters, in order to prevent the arrest of their passengers by the Turkish authorities. The Dryad's commander has received explicit instructions from the Turkish ambassador to resist any interference with the rights of British vessels on the high seas. The refusal of the Rumanian authorities to permit Armenian refugees to land in Rumania has created a very had impression in European circles, and may lead to Berious complications later on.

The joint commission of Europeans and Turks, appointed to inquire into the recent massacres and their origin, held its preliminary meeting on Saturday, but the fact that most of the Armenians who could furnish the necessary evidence to place the blame where it belongs have been killed, Imprisoned or banished, leaves the commission little else to work upon than the Turkish police officials' evidence, naturally amounting to nothing at all. The work of the commission, happily, has been forestalled by the embassies, where all the evidence necessarily to conclusively prove that the massacres were officially planned at and authorized from the palace has been collected and submitted to the governments of the six powers.

ENGLAND IS IN EARNEST.

The Peeling There Is Very Strong Against the Saltan. New Tork, Sept. 14.—The Times' London cable says: It is now an open secret that we are on the eve of a new and Important development in the Eastern question. Within the last few days authoritative word has been passed around among the Tory noblemen and politicians that Armenia is "good business." The result is an extraordinary outburst of conservative sentiment of the most violent anti-Turkish character. Lord Glenesk's paper, the Morning Post, is suddenly demanding a Guild Hall meeting, with the lord mayor as chairman, to denounce the sultan, while the Tory Standard declare that Abdul HamId's deposition has become inevitable. Lord Bute is to preside at a great mass meeting called at Cardiff to demand British intervention, and some of the most trusted Tory organizers are busiest in the work of arranging for a huge London gathering, with the Dukes of Westminster and Argyl, and possibly the Duke of Norfolk, as chief figures.

It is so apparent that this vicinity means business that liberal leaders like Mr. Asqulth are hurrying forward to put themselves in evidence as being in favor of immediate and decisive British action. In all quarters the impression prevails that something sensational has been declared on. What this something may be no one is in a position to say with any exactness. Nothing is quite clear except the fact that Lord Salisbury wants a powerful demonstration of England's' eagerness to back him up in bold courses, and that he will get with a rush. Public men who took part in the great Bulgarian agitation of twenty years ago say they now discern signs of a far more impressive national uprising than that one was.

If Gladstone could be brought to London, after merely showing himself to vast gatherings at Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham on the way, and would simply stand up for a bare minute or two before such a throng as the metropolis would get together, the whole island would thrill with the Impulse of a new crusade. Lord Salisbury would have nothing to fear from such a fleeting resurrection of tho "G. O. M." and I confess to the suspicion that Mr. Balfour's recent visit to Hawarden did not leave this possibility undiscussed. At all events. Englishmen of all parties are preparing as big and striking a manifestation of national^ feeling as has been exhibited in our generation, and they are doing this under a sufficient assurance that the prime minister wants it.

It is practically certain, I understand, that thore Is to be a renewal of the disturbances at Constantinople, and the diplomates there suspect it to be Lord Salisbury's Intention, in that case, to denounce the Dardanelles clause of the treaty of Berlin, while a British fleet forces the passage and anchors with Constantinople and the Yiddiz itself under its guns. This is, perhaps, a too exciting conjecture, but it is what the ambassadorial circle at Stamboul Imagines England is going to do.

Even if England's action should be less summary and sweeping, it must be in tho same direction and raise the same questions. Those questions, in substance, combine into the single problem: "What will the other powers do?" Englishmen are lashing themselves Into a state of feeling In which they will not care what the other powers do, but this is not the spirit in which foreign offices operate, and since Lord Salisbury manifestly desires to be pushed into action, it Is presumable that he has made sure this will not involve England in an enterprise too big for her atrength.

BISHOP WHITE'S ADDRESS.

I? fv

Discussion of the Issues of tho Campaign at Limn, Ind. Special to the Indianapolis News. Lima, Ind., Sept. 14.—Bishop J. H.White of tho Episcopal Diocose of Indiana, who is spending a few days at his cottage at Bishopthorpe Park, near here, spoke to a large audience in tho town hall here on the political isnes. It was the first political speech of his life, he said, but.it was an excellent one, and was received by his hearers with storms of applause. He saiu be was not there as a politician nor as a partisan, but as an humble citizen invited by his fellows to discuss measures affecting the general welfare. We are on the eve -ot a general-election which not alone setatuf"tor office, but determines the

policy of the government In tt* relation to industry, prosperity and happiness. The duty of the citizen was to carefully study the issues, their effects upon the country, and to vote considerately and without passion or prejudice. The idea that this was too big a country not to be affected by an election one way or another was discarded, as was also that of the question of finance being, a very simple matter. It was a question of political economy, vital to all governments, and had enlisted the most careful and anxious thought of the greatest statesmen and wisest men In all ages. Every man should bring to it as much wisdom and patient consideration as possible, and pray to be delivered from the demagogue, the man who professes great devotion to., the people, but who Is ready to advocate any measure that will, in bis opinion, win votes. The adroit man who is well Informed as to the classes Into which society is divided and is re«Cy to pander to the whims and prejudloe of each, is a very dangerous man.

He then took up the Questional® Who are laboring men? What is capital? What Is government? Who makes the law*? Who is responsible for the existing condition of things?"

Where lies the remedy? His remarks oh each point were very appropriate, but it was upon the two last he dwelt at most length, and touched most the live issues of the day.

Live Issues of Today.

He showed that the people of this country were enjoying their highest degree of prosperity in 1892, and that they deliberately voted it away that the great economic change orderd by that vote was responsible for the great reverses that followed. The ory then was prices were too high, and now the same class of men are as loudly proclaiming that prices are too low. Instead of admitting they were wrong on the theories of 1892, they now go back to 1873 and pretend that then originated the cause of the present woe—one just the reverse of what they lamented four years ago.

As to the act of 1873 the bishop indorsed what the Hon. Carl Schurz recently said denouncing the charges as to its origin, nature and consequences, as the "most unscrupulous, shameless, persistent, audacious, cumulative, gigantic lying" he ever heard. He related his proccos of reasoning on the issues of 1892 how he concluded it was impossible for this country to prosper under the then proposed change of duties. It could result, it seemed to him, but in a. reduction of labor and of wages. Our wage system was then the best in the world, but could not be maintained free competition with the oheaper labor of other countries. When he then foreboded came to pass.

The proposed free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, as a remedy for the hard times now, was considered and shown to be a snare and a delusion, a remedy, which If decided by this people to be taken, would produce immediate disaster. The people had endured a reign of misfortune the last four years. If this vital change in money was ordered thoy might expect a deluge.- Free and unlimited coinage of silver at prices of silver bullion must inevitably result in driving gold out of circulation, contracting the currency one-third, bringing on still greater financial embarrassment, further reducing employment, increasing idleness, immensely multiplying the hungry and starving, and pressing men to a desperation that may lead to mobs and violence. He could see a reign of terror as a possible outcome of the present teachings of class prejudice and hostility, and the great financial change this class hatred was being used to effect. That one of the great parties should have felt called upon to denounce the chief executive of the nation, elected by its own suffrages, for putting down mob rule, which hourly was becoming more violent, was terrible to contemplate.

Necessity of Fixed Values.

The imperative necessity of fixed standards of value and of measure was illustrated in a strong light. A double measure of either was an absurdity. Gold, as a measure of value, did not preclude a liberal use of silver and paper money. Any amount of either could be used as long as they could be maintained at standard value. Eiher a gold or a silver standard must be used. Business was tow and had been for years based on the gold standard, and could not be changed without disastrous consequences^ Boast as we may of our greatness as a people, when we come to buy of others wo would have to pay their prices and in tftfe kind of money they could use. Gold was the universal medium of exchange and measure of values. Our greatest advantage was its use as a standard of value, and the free use of silver on a parity with it. This matter removed from the domain of doubt and uncertainty, and the interpendence of all classes of society taught, friendly relations with each qther cultivated, respect for authority the people themselves made, protection for the industries they can develop, would restore that confidence that would bring forth the hidden treasures and again put In active motion the wheels of business and commerce.

MRS. ROBY'S OFFER.

Ground and a Lake For the Use of Chicago University. Chicago, Sept. 14.—The Times-Herald says: In the proffered use of another halfmillion dollars' worth of property that the University of Chicago is now in the way to possess, that institution may have the most splendid inland lake biological station in the world. This magnificent supplement to the Hull gift of ?1,000,000 for biological laboratories is due to Mrs. Edward Roby,

13. a.

Shedd and C. B. Shedd, owners of the property. It makes possible for the university to control all the land and water It desires, for there are 3,000 acrcs of ground of the lake adjoining land and the channel connecting it with Lake Michigan. Not only this, but Mrs. Roby offers to the'university an unrivaled water course for the 'varsity crew. Most of necessary buildings for dormitories for biological students and for boats will also be given by Mrs. Roby and the Shedds, if their offer Is accepted ,and that vast area of water and land near Roby, Ind., in easy access to the city, bids fair to become a site to which the scientific and aquatic interest or the whole world may in a few years turn.

Acceptance of this offer depends upon the results of Investigation into the adaptability of the site for experimental, research in biology, but the prevailing impression is that the site is just what is desired for such an enormous undertaking. To secure such a station, Professor Whitman, head professor of zoology has labored ever since he came to the university.

LONDON IS EXCITED

OVER THE ABRK8T OF TVKAN

The Noted "jfnmber One** of the Phoenix Park Murderers—Another Dyoar :nlte Plot Suspected-"

London, Sept. 14.—It is generallyJbelieved.1

here that the police, by the arrests of Edward Bell at Glasgow on Saturday, J.Wallace and, John F. Kearney at Rotterdam and P. J. P. Tynan, the noted "No. 1" of the Phoenix Park murderers, at Boulogne, France, have nipped a widespread dynamite plot in the bud. At Rotterdam, in addition to arresting Wallace and Kearney, the police captured a number of infernal machines and a quantity of correspondence, which Is said to incriminate a number of people, and which may result in further arrests in the near future. ..

Bell was arraigned at the central polloe court today, and, after the usual formalities had been gone through with, was remanded until Wednesday next. The alleged dynamiter, who seemed cool and unconcerned, was handcuffed while in court and guarded by two specially detailed policemen. Bell is about 28 years of age, of medium build, slim, clean-shaven and of sallow complexion. He wore a soft felt hat and was otherwise dressed as an American, which he claims to be. The people of the hotel where Bell stopped say that he was always self-absorbed and paid little attention to his fellow guests. His peculiar manner made an unfavorable impresison upon the proprietors of the hotel, but In spite of this they say have no complaint to make regarding his behavior, and the arrest oftheir guest was a surprise to them.

The prisoner has very little to say about his being taken into custody. The only information which he has thus far vouchsafed is that he Is not a British subject Bell's papers and belongings are in the hands of the police, who, it is said, have been shadowing him since his arrival at Glasgow.

The Arrest Most Important. The police attach the most importance to the arrests and are observing great reticence on the subject. It appears, however, that the police officials have been cognizant for some time past of the existence of a fresh dynamite conspiracy, and there is no reason to doubt that the information in the possession of the Scotland Yard authorities is of the most important character, although it is difficult to obtain facts at

Incidentally, it was the Globe which first

proclaimed the identity of the second man

arrested at Rotterdam as being John F.

Kearney of New York, who is charged with

having been concerned^ blowing up the

Glasgow as works in 192 a deed for which

Terrance McDermott and others are now

serving sentences of imprisonment for life In Portland prison. Kearney escaped to New York, and, it was said at the time, his escape was winked at by the highest authorities. It was farther .alleged that it was Kearney whtfj under the pretense of friendship, led Pheljft, of Kansas City, into the trap when SBdrt, the butcher nearly stabbed him to defathTn O'Donovan Rossa's house in Chamber's street, New York. Kearney may now be charged with the Glasgow outrage, as wSll as with participation in the allgeed £rdsent movement.

A dispatch from Bolougne says that Tynan was arraigned there this mornifig before the deputy police prosecutor. The proceedings were confined to furnishing evidence of the arrest and the establishment of the identity of the prisoner,"V/hitsh the latter fully admitted. Two Sddftland Yard detectives were present at these1 formalities and, eventually, the prisoner was remanded and taken to the town jail while awaiting the arrival from London of the documents necessary to bring about his extradition. -Tynan's mother and her son, who are living at Kingston, near Dublin, declare that they never knew of his movements and that they supposed he was canvassing for the Republican party In the United States. His mother was preparing to go to New York to see him.

The formalities of extradition in Tynap's case will occupy a fortnight. Tho secretary of the Great British Amnesty Association, speaking of tho arrest of Tynan, says that thoy will afford Tynr.n means for his defense, but that he will have no sympathy if he has been guilty of any recent conspiracy. The police here now admit that the man arrested at Rotterdam, whose name was first given as Wallace, is, in fact, John F. Kearney of New York.

Finally the boy secured a place in the messenger sendee, and the pair of them, forced down by slow degrees, then managed to exlBt in a bare garret on a pittance a day. Sickness smote the boy and when mother and son were at the very door of death in their hard strugle we accidentally found and relieved them. The boy told me afterward that he used to sneer at the Salvationist!. See that tall, straight, good looking fellow over there— not ashamed to wear a red shirt? Same boy! His mother lives in better quarters and has enough to eat now. "We have some highly educated men in the ranks here—an Oxfbrt and an Eton graduate among them—so you see our recruits don't always come from the poor and ignorant, as many affect to believe. Let me tell you another little instance that illustrates many more. "A family consisting of a husband, wife and three daughters came out here from Vermont about a year ago. In this city the husband deserted them and Bailed to Australia. The mother and the daughters were refined looking and their speech gave evidence of culture. The grils were prepossessing in appearance and were all dressed stylishly. They tried In.vainjtq secure employment in stores and wore the soles off their shoes in futile tramping in quest of work. They could get nothing to do. They could not descend to begary or worse, and so for days they lived on bread crusts and water. They had suicide in contemplation. The youngest daughter had the look of death in her eyes and the mother's pride was conquered at last. O&e night she appeared at the barracks and in a weak voice, sobbing now and then, unfolded her story. Sad plight, of course, but there are many like it. People who have seen better times suffer most intensely the pangs of deprivation. The mother and daughters I spoke of needed only a little assistance, for the girls happily found remunerative work to do shortly after their meeting face to face with the

TUCKER IS REMOVED.

The Assignment Board of the Conferenoe So Decided Yesterday, Everybody in Terre Haute knows this morning that the Rev. H. A. Tucker has been removed from the. oharge oi tho Centenary Church, but few persons know the reason why he was changed. It is said by knowing ones that tho church board, or rather three of four of the members "got their backs up" and decided that he must go.

Early in the conference last week one or two members of the Centenary board began to circulate among the members agitating Dr. Tucker's removal. When the time came for assigning the ministers to their next year's fields, it is said, considerable debate was had when Mr. Tucker's name was called. In fact, the two sides became very warm. As a compromise man, W. M. Tippy, the young minister who was ordained last Saturday, was chosen. Last year certain members of the oburch board wanted a well kbown young minister as pastor, but the bishop refused to send him. Then they wanted Dr. H. A. Tucker and got him. Prom a prominent Methodist minister yesterday it was learned that the dissatisfied board members do not represent the majority of the members of the church.

Leonard of New York.

WRECKED ON PEAKED HILL BAR.

Six of the Crew of the Italian Bark Monte Tabor Gone. Highland Light, Mass., Sept. 14.—The Italian bark Monte Tabor, from Trapani, for Boston, with a cargo of salt, was wrecked on Peaked Hill bar at midnight. To escape death by drowning, it is presumed Captain Dellacassa committed suicide by shooting, and his example of self destruction was followed by the mate, who cut his throat with a razor. Four of tho crew of ten, all of whom were swept overboard, were drowned. The remaining six reached shore on the vessel's deck houso, which was the largest portion left from the vessel a short time after she struck. The sailors who reached land are all foreigners and they speak very little English, so that only meager details of the wreck can be learned from them.

The Monte Tabor left Trapani June 21st. She Is a wooden vessel of 592 tons gross. She was 153 feet long, 32 feet beam and 9 feet 7 inches depth of hold. She was built at Varazze in 1873 and hailed from Genoa, Italy.
