There Is No Tension In the Relation: ‘

Between the Two.

MANY MATTERS IN DISPUTE.

But the Turkish Minister Says They \Vi:
All Come to a Peaceful Solution—In
Europe, However, There Are Fears
of More Massacres and \Var.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Moustapha Bey
the Turkish minister, when asked last
night concerning recent reports that ten
sion existed between the governments 0.
file United States and Turkey over certuir
’qiiestions, said:

“There is no tension in the relations be
tween the tw0 governments as reported by
the newspapers. There are some matter.
on the tapis which have been pending to:
some time, but they are not of such e
ch racter as would possibly involve trou.
ble betwoen the two countries. They will
come to a peaceful solution as a result 01
the conciliatory feeling existing, and it
will be to the interest and satisfaction 01
the two countries and meet with the Will-
ing assent of the parties concerned.”
“.The minister did not care to go into do
t_ails before the public on the matters now
on the tapis. It. is understood, however,
that on all pending questions the instruc-
tions of the new minister are such as to
lead to a full and satisfactory agreement.
,. «The need of a new treaty between this
country and Turkey has been felt for some

itime, as our officials have desired to secure
1the right of protection to Turks, including
Armenians who had become naturalized
American citizens. The negotiations have
-not proceeded briskly, but it is understood
that the views of Moustapha Bey are such
that minor differences can be adjusted
and the new treaty perfected.

Some time ago the United States askec
Turkey for an indemnity for the property
losses sustained ' by Americans in that
cOuntry during the recent troubles there.
It is understood that the minister bring.
no instructions which will change the re.
cent negotiations on that subject, but that
the matter is in the way of satisfactory
adjustment at an early day.

The Sultan Means to Fight.

LONDON, Oct. 26.—-—The receipt of dis-
patches from Constantinople announcing
that the imposition of a poll tax of 5 pias-
tres per head and the levying of other
taxes, in order to arm the Mussulmans,
have caused the situation there to assume
a very grave aspect,and has greatly increas-
ed the anxiety felt here regarding the
eventual outcome of the easternim broglio.

‘_ The Speaker, discussing the matter,
says: “The new war tax is a sign that the
sultan means to fight, possibly after carry-

ing out the freshlmassacres of Christians,
.which are daily expected. The sick man
_',"We trust is nearing his death struggle.
‘There is little doubt in the public mind
that an arrangement for joint European
“action exists, and at present‘it is only re~
sisted by one power.” .
'- The Speaker’s well informed Constan-
tinople correspondent, hOWever, doubts
the existence of such an arrangement.

A later dispatch from Constantinople
says that extra precautions were taken
yesterday against a fresh Armenian out-
break, but it had not occurred at the time
the message was filed.

_ Sir Henry Elliot, 'who‘ was British em-
bassador to Turkey from 1867 to 1877 and
whose life has been spent in the diplomat-
ic service of Great Britain, in an interest-
ing letter just published, says: “The pres-
.ent state of Turkey greatly resembles what
it was immediately before the deposition
of Abdul Aziz, when there existed, as now,
widespread discontent, arising from the
baneful influence of the palace.”

Continuing, Sir Henry Elliot urges that
support be given to the reform party in
Turkey, “as the whole empire,” he as-
serts, “needs a change of administration,
and the sultan is more afraid of the young
Turks than of the powers.”

Suit Against Gould.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.—Suit has been be-
gun against George Gould in the cicruit
court here to recover possession of a tract
of land in Corondelet valued at $300,000.
There are 50 acres in the tract, which was
purchased by Jay Gould before his death.
He thought he was securing perfect title,
but it appears that he was mistaken. The
property was part of the old Fortnier
tract, and the Fortnier heirs are bringing
the suit.

Too llIuch For O’Donnell.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26.—Walter John-
son, the colored welterweight pugilist of
this city, made Steve O’Donnell, the Aus-
tralian, look like a novice in their four
round exhibition before the Art Athletic
club. In the opening round Johnson was
shy, but in the second round he went at
O’Donnell like a cylone and simply smoth-
ered him. The third and fourth rounds
were but repetitions Of the second.

Tschigorin the Winner.

BUDAPEST, Oct. 26.—The first game of

THE ANDRUS TRAGEDY.

Coroner Miles Says He Will Soon Have
the Guilty Party Under Arrest.

YONKERS, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Corone1
Miles appears to be very confident that he
will soon arrest the man who killed Ham
lin J. Andrus. “I have positive informa
tion as to who the guilty party is in this
case, and will have him in custody in .
day or two,” is the statement made by
him. Whether the murderer was employec'
in the Arlington chemical works or not is
not known to any one besides the authori
ties.

Louis McLeod, a 13—year-old office boy
who was employed in the factory unti.

N. Y., since then, has returned here, and
has been examined by the coroner and the
police. The exact nature of the informa
tion which he gave could not be ascertain.
ed, but it was stated that it was of impor-
tance and had reference in part to the
wires which were found running undo]
the office building and which were belie‘vec'
to have been used by somebody on the out
side for the explosion of the bomb. Young
McLeod told all he knew of the wires in
the cellar of the building, and this may
have an important bearing on the wires,
which are now in possession of the police.
F. S. Washburn, a hardware merchant,
said in regard to the sale of batteries to
the Andrus company, at he had beer
somewhat misrepresented. He had sent
six cells of dry battery to young Andrus
by mistake, and these had been returned.
Since then they had been variously dis
posed of. Two of the cells Mr. Washburr
had used at home, two he has on hand anc'
two were sold to two persons whom his
clerks cannot well remember or describe.
Hamlin J. Andrus was buried yester-
day in the Oaklands cemetery. The fu-
neral was held in the First Presbyteriar
church. All the members of the murderec’
man’s family and a great number of peo-
ple were present. Dr. Tadman delivercc
a. touching eulogy, and declared his belie;
that Mr. Andrus had not an enemy in th(

TO BECOME A sews/8s.

General Belknap’s Daughter to Change
Her Faith and Wm Paul May.

NEW 37031:. il'c‘i. 26.—The World says:
The social sons: ‘ifClll in this city' is the re-
port of the cumin- ; marriage of Miss Alice
Belknap to 32' r. l"-llll May of the Belgian
legation. M353 Belkuap, as everybody
knows, is the charming and pepular
daughter of the late General W. W. Bell;-
nap, who was mastery of war during the
administration cf President Grant. Mr.
Paul May is one of the handsomest and
best known young men in the, diplomatic
circles.

The Mays, who originally spelled their
name with an e, are a power in Hebrew
circles in Belgium. - Their social position
is very high, and they have great wealth.
They objected. to the match on religious
grounds, and so, it is said, Miss Belknap
recently made a sudden decision which
surprised society. She decided to adopt
the faith of the man of her choice. It is
said that She will shortly make an avowal
of belief in the Jewish tenets and go
through all the ceremonies which her
change of faith demands. Then the wed-
ding bells will be in order.

The more important of these ceremo—
nies are two in number. The first is call-
ed the "‘Proselyte’s bath.” This bath
must be takewin a place set apart in the
synagogue chosc'n for the occasion. To be
ritually correct it must be supervised by a
rabbi or by some other important digni-
tary of the faith. The bath must be tak-
en in running water. The quantity of this
is determined by the rabbi. The care-
mony is supposed to purify the bather from
the stain of idolatry. The date of the cer-
emony is loudly and publicly announced
in the synagogue before the bath is taken.

The second ordeal is less severe. It is
simply the avowal of faith in the Jewish
tenets, and takes place in private, before
the rabbi and two other witnesses. The
ceremony is informal, the convert merely
expressing her readiness to accept Jewish
doctrines. She is then pronounced a Jew-
ess by the rabbi. After this the marriage
ceremony may take place at any time.

It should be added here that Mrs. Balk-
nap, the mother of the young lady, public
ly denies that an engagement exists be-
tween her daughter aucl Mr. May. She
adds, however, that .if the couple are still
in love at the end of six months she will
give her consent to their marriage. She
is very fond of Mr. May. and admits that:
She could ask for no better match for he.~
daughter. '

 

Tribute to Bishop Keane.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26,—At the annual
meeting here last Wednesday of the board

Keane expressive of their admiration for
his noble action whru resigning the rec-
torship of the uniV‘ .ity. of their exalted
appreciation of his .znmense services to the
university, with which his name will ever
be associated, and of their personal esteem
and affection for him.

 

How “'11! Chicago Like This?

LONDON, Oct. 26. — The Daily Mail,
which is printing a series of interesting
letters from America, devoted several the
past week to Chicago, which it describes
as: “The queen and guttersnipe of cit-
ies; the cynosure and cesspool of the world;
the most beautiful and the most squalid;
wide'y and generously planned, with
streets of 20 miles where it is unsafe to
walk at night; where women ride strad-
dlewise and millionaires dine at midday;
the chosen 'seat of public spirit and mu-
nicipal boodle. ”
