" partment, DD. DNGDIL S MISSION. True InWtudness of His Appointment asMinister to Turkey. ' TO URGE AMERICAN CLAIMS Influence of the Missionary Societies Brought to Bear to Have Him Sent to Constantinople — “’i11 Not Serve the Full Term. 'Ann Arbor, Mich., April 20.—Dr. J. B. Angell' 5 mission to Turkey is of a special natu1 e, simi1a1 to that which he executed in China in 1880 and particu— larly in the int! rest of Ame1ican mis- sionaries. It has become known that Dr. Angell ‘ first received an offer of appointment as regular ministe1 to Turkey for four years and that he declined. He did not wish to be long a“ ay from the univer- sity. Later he was asked to go to force a settlement of claims of American mis- sionaries against the Turkish govern- ment and he accepted. \Vhen that work is done, his mission will’ha‘ve been per- formed and he will return to this coun- try. Dr. Angell’ s selection for this post is particularly gratifying to the foreign missionary organizations in the United States, which are said to have exercised all the influence they could bring to bear to secure his appointment. , For several years he has been a mem- ber of the American board .of commis- sioners for foreign missions and has been active in its work. He has been recognized, too, as one of the ablest men connected with the body and its mem— bers feel confident that he will persuade the Turk to have greater respect for American rights in the future. , A Friend’s Statement. Dr. Bradshaw, minister of the Con~ gregational church of which Dr. Angeli is a member, said: “Just what part, if any, the American board of foreign missions took in se- curing Dr. Angell’s appointment I do not know. I do know, though, that a large part of his duty in Constantinople will carry him along the same line of work he has been doing in committee for the board in this country. “He was on that committee appoint- ed by the American board in Toledo last October to urge President Cleveland to force a settlement of the American claims and secure for our missionaries better protection. “There are now pending before the Turkish government claims to the amount of S750, 000, for lives and prop- erty of American missionaries destroy-» ed in the outrages perpetrated by the Turkish soldiery. In its mild prosecu- tion of these claims this government has been ignored and insulted in a way the powers of Europe would not toler- ate.” Professor Martin L. D’Ooge, who will probably serve as acting president of the university during Dr. Angell’s ab- sence, and who is one of his closest friends, is at present out of the city, but from Mrs. D’Ooge it was learned that Dr. Angeli did not intend to remain in Constantinople the full four years.

Suspicious Circumstances Attending the Death of J. A. Stafl‘ord. Trenton, April 20. —-—John B. Stafford of 222 Center street, this city, brother of J. Allen Stafford, who was killed in Paterson on April 8, has caused the body to be removed from a cemeteiy vault, and County Physician R. R. Rog— ers, assisted by Dr. William Rice, will hold an autopsy. The body of J. Allen Stafford was brought here for burial from Paterson. A coroner’s jury at Pat— erson rendered a verdict that Stafford’s death was the result of an accident due to carelessness. The dead man, who was known as Sport Stafford, was killed while out driving at Mountain View, near Pater- son. Evidence was adduced at the inquest which seemed to show that the man . was killed by being thrown from the carriage, the horse having run away. The body was shipped here for burial, and while being prepared physicians who were called to examine it discov- ered a large black spot back of the left ear. They expressed the opinion that the mark was made by a blackjack or other instrument, and that this blow had caused death. The physicians also concluded that this injury could not have been made by Stafford being thrown from a carriage. The brother of the dead man also found entries in a notebook showing that Sport had a large sum of money on his person when he went away, while 41 cents was found in his pockets when the body was taken to the hospital.‘ THE PAPAL CONSISTORY.
