SAYS HE MADE NO PLEDGES. Greece and Holland Are Also Barred.» Progress of the National Campaign—The Terrell's Demand For Indemnity ls 1 Not Likely to 'Be Successful. The Troubles In Crete. l ' CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 8.——It was semi- oflicially announced here today that the Turkish government, after weighing the matter over and consulting with certain advisers, has come to the decision not to admit the United States cruiser Bancroft through the Dardanelles, and therefore she will not be able to act as the guardship of the United States legation in those waters. The porte, it is said, has also decidednot r to admit the guardships of Greece and Helland, which countries also proposed to have a ship stationed in the Bosporus as a guardship and to furnish men to guard their legations in case of emergency. It should be added, however, that theUnited States government is not known to have presented through the United States min- ister, Mr. Alexander W. Terrell, a formal demand for the passage of the Bancroft or any other United States warship through the strait of the Dardanelles, and it is recalled that Greece in 1888 was not al- lowod to have a guardship in the Bos- porus. The exactground upon which the Turk- ish government takes its stand in this 01120 is not stated, but it is known in ofiici ll circles here that Russia has objected o the presence in the Bosporus of United States, Grecian or Dutch guardships. 'J \ objections to the presence of,extra gua ships here are said, according to gene. report, to be .based on the Berlin agre. ment, which excludes from naval repre- sentation in the Bosporus any powers who were not a party to that agreemei ., and that therefore the United States can- not be allowed to send a warship to the strait of the Dardanelles, although it is believed that Mr. Terrell about a month ago sent an urgent request to Washington for a United States war vessel. A Hint of Force. It was further intimated that the United States government would insist, by force, if necessary, upon the presence of the Bancroft in the Besporus, taking the ground that such a step would not be an unfriendly act to Turkey, in view of all the circumstances in the case, and that the protection of the lives and property of American citizens made the step necessary. The Turkish government has also sent a circular to the different embassies, de- manding the right to search foreign ves- sels passing Constantinople for Armenia ans. It is believed that the powers will not accede to this request, as, up to the present, Armenians who have sought ref- uge on board of British or French vessels have been __protected by the guardships here until the vessels on which they had sought refuge sailed for their destination. Advices received here from the island of Crete state that the crisis there is by no means ended. The entire population of the interior of that island is still under arms, and their leaders have announced that they will renew hostilities unless the Turkish garrisons are withdrawn from Crete. This has caused a renewal of the excitement, and the situation has once more assumed a most threatening aspect. It is believed that the Turkish government will insist upon maintaining its garrisons in Crete, and that Turkey in this matter will have the support of the powers who recently brought about what was looked upon as being a settlement of the Cretan difficulties by compelling the porte to grant nearly all the reforms demanded by the insurgents and giving them a sort of local self government which was looked upon as being satisfactory to the insurgent leaders. This fresh demonstration in Crete will, in all probability, bring about further trouble and postpone again a defi- nite settlement of the eastern question.

BOSTON, Oct. 8.—Cablegrams from Gen- stantinople state that United States Minn ister Terrell has demanded an indemnity from the Turkish government, but with not much prospect of success, it is thought, for the looting of the houses of mission- aries in Hasskeuy during the recent mas- sacres in Constantinople. A letter hear- ing a recent date states that the house Of Mrs. Laura T. Seelye and Miss Martha J. Gleason was looted, and a servant killed in spite of the fact that when the, crowd was seen coming an American flag was hung out of the window, and the maraud- ers were told, “This is an American house.” The latter stated that the flag was pulled down, torn to shreds and trampled underfoot. The Jews of Hass- keuy joined the Turks in the pillage, the writer states, and we now hear that the sultan is making a scapegoat of them. He has demanded $220, 000 from the grand rabbi. The ambassadors and consuls in Con- stantinople, as a protest, refused to illu- minate on the twentieth anniversary of the sultan’s reign, and not one of them sent a drageman to congratulate him. The sultan, greatly troubled, sent mes- sengers to ask the reason for the omission, and, upon his request, the representatives were finally sent. The latter concludes with the statement that the situation is very delicate. Car Company In Trouble. _ TYLER, Tex., Oct. 8.—The Tyler Car and Lumber company, one of the largest lumber concerns in Texas, has been placed- ln the hands of a receiver. The liabilities are in the neighborhood of $250, 000, $70,- 000 of which is already due. The assets are estimated at from $150,000 to $250,~ 000. J. J. Carter, the present superin- tendent of the company’s plant at Mitchell was appointed receiver. ; Anthracite Coal Bates. NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—-It is understood that the meeting to consider the question of a reduction in freight rates in anthra- cite coal west bound has been indefinitely postponed. The impression prevails that the New York companies are indisposed to consent to a reduction. Returns From Florida Still In- complete—McKinley and Bry- .' on Both Make Speeches. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. —- Chairman Dan- forth today received Judge Porter’s letter accepting the Democratic nomination for governor. J udge.Porter says in part: “Having, on receipt of your notification that I had been unanimously chosen by the Democratic state committee as the can-l dldate of the Democratic party of the state of New York for governor, briefly wired my acceptance, I deem it proper that I should signify my acceptance in a more formal way. “This promotion, coming to me without seeking, by the unanimous consent of your committee, is an honor I fully realize and appreciate, and is an expression of confi- dence by a great party in a humble citi- zen for the highest honor thepeople of this state can bestow. ' “Hesitating in regard to my ability to fill the exalted station your nomination seeks to give me, if I consulted my own feelings I should decline the honor, but as a loyal Democrat in the ranks of my party, under existing conditions, yielding to your command, I accept tile nomina- tion, so generously given me, repeating what I have already said. that I am in full accord with the platform adopted at Buf- falo and the Chicago platform and shall in every honorable way help to carry for- ward the banner of Democracy. “To secure this nomination I have made no pledges of any kind or nature to any party or individual and have made no promises of rewards or punishment to any one or against any one, and if your nomi- nation meets the approval of the electors of this great state I would enter upon the discharge of the duties thus imposed with but one purpose—to give all the people of the state an honest, economical adminis- tration of its affairs, that the burden of taxation might rest as lightly upon its people as possible.” Gold Men \Vin In Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. — The .Young Men’s Democratic association, of which National Committeeman William F. Har- rity is a leading member, by vote of 101 to 42 rejected the Chicago platform and in- dcrsed Palmer and Buckner and the plat- form adopted by the Indianapolis conven- tion. Mr. Harrity was not present. David W. Sellers presided and J. Henry Williams acted as secretary. Postmaster Carr, Col- lector Read, Internal Revenue Collector Doyle, Charles Edward Ingersoll, City Commissioner Seusenderfer, F. B. Brack- en and Dwight M. Lowrey were among those present. -The question came up on the adoption of a gold standard substitute presented by John J. Wilkinson f'o‘rf’th'e original silver resolution presented at the last meeting. ' ' Major McKinley Addresses Indianians. CANTON, 0., Oct. 8.—'Ihe first McKin- ley club organized in Indiana arrived in Canton today, having been on the cars since yesterday at noOn. An hour after reaching Cantonthe members of the club called on Major McKinley. A. B. Jenkins of Goodland, the town from which the visitors came, made a short address, in- troducing the club to Major McKinley. The morning was raw, and a sharp wind from the northeast was blowing and whirling the leaves across the McKinley lawn, but the Indianians cheered in a manner which indicated that temperature in nowise aflected their enthusiasm. After Major McKinley’s speech a glee club sang a number of humorous campaign songs. The Vermont Legislature. MONTPELIER, Vt., Oct. 8.—The biennial session of the Vermont legislature opened today with a large proportion of the mem- bers present.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 8.—Word has just been received in this city of a terrible elec- tion tragedy at Elberton, a little village about 35 miles northeast of Athens. Ac- cording to the reports received here, eight or ten people were involved in- the shoot- ing, and several have been killed. The greatest excitement prevails. and it- is probable that the chief offenders will be lynched. So far as can be learned a mob is in control and the officers are helpless. Nothing definite, however, has ’yet been received concerning the cause or precise nature of the affair. Elberton isapost village with a courthouse, three church- es, two newspaper ofi'ices and two schools. Candidate W'atson Indisposed. ATLANTA, Oct. 8.—Thomas E. Watson, the Populist candidate for vice president, has gone to his home in Thompson suffer- ing from a severe throat trouble, which threatens his enforced retirement from ac- tive campaign work for some time to come. He was expected to speak at the closing rally of the Populist campaign last night, but was unable to do so, and his physician says that unless he stops talking for the present he will probably bring on a dangerous abscess. Mr. Watson is at work on his letter of acceptance, but has not yet completed it. The Election In Florida. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 8.-—Reports covering 17 of the smaller counties, but not including any of the large cities ex- cept Pensacola, give Bloxham, theregular Democratic candidate for governor, an es- timated plurality of 9,750. Chairman Rawls of the Democratic state committee estimates Bioxham’s plurality in the state at 25,000. The returns are slow in com- ing in on account of difficulty in counting the votes under the Australian ballot sys- tem. ' Mr. Bryan’s Tour. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 8.—The special train bearing William Jennings Bryan and party left this city for Chicago‘over the Lake Erie and Western early today. About 500 persons were at the station.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, oct. 8.—-R. J. Jarvis, postmaster of this city, has been removed from office because of offensive partisanship. He is the candidate for con- gress on the Domocratic~Populist~Siiver fusion ticket. ‘ _ VENEZUELAN MUDDLE. Negotiations to Be Resumed on the Re- turn of Sir Julian Pauncefote. LONDON, Oct. 8.—Regarding the Vari- ous reports in Great Britain and the United States with reference to the Venezuelan question, it is learned that there have been no negotiations between London .and Washington since the blue book of July was issued. The story cabled from Washington to the effect that Great Britain has made further concessions, amounting almost to a complete surrender of her claims, is pronounced absolutely untrue. Negotiations regarding Venezuela will be resumed, however, upon the return of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British elm bassador, to Washington, with tlfe instruc- tions of the Marquis of Salisbury in the case. Sir Julian Pauncefote was expected to sail by an earlier steaiitar, but he has been obliged to postpone his departure on account of diplomatic business and will start for New Yprk from Liverpool on Oct. 14. Before leaving England he will have another conference with the Marquis of Salisbury, and he will probably see the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, also. Lately Sir Julian Pauncefcio has paid many visits to the foreign office and the colonial office, but these visits do not indicate that there have been any new developments in the Vene- zuelan question. Regarding the treaty of general arbitra— tion which has been so widely discussed,the same conditions prevail. Negotiations upon this subject will also be resumed upon the return of Sir Julian Pauncefote to Washington. At the same time a very sanguine feeling prevails. the government having every expectation of an early and satisfactory settlement of the matters in dispute. It is expected that the next message of President Cleveland to con- gress and the next queen’s speech at the opening of parliament will announce a settlement of both questions. Mrs. La’denbur'; Not Engaged. . NEW YORK, Oct. s.-—For some time it has been currently reported in societylthat Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg, the multimillion- aiross, is to marry Mr. Ralph N.
