CoNsTAXTixon.n , Jnn. 3. [ Special Cnble-
gram to Tun BEK. ] An international Inci
dent which hns caused some ridicule and con
siderable indignation occutrcd in these
waters during the past tlav nr so. A Japanese
iron-clad frlgato having on board the sur
vivors of tlio Krtogroul ( the Turkish Iron
clad which foundered in the China ? cas on
September * ! ! $ , during n typhoon ) arrived off
the forts nnd hattcries guarding the entrance
of the Dnrdoncjlus. When tlio Japanese war
vessel's nnmo nnd mission wcro com
municated to the Turkish ofllccip at the en
trance of tbo straits , these ofllclnls claimed
that they had uo authority to admit of the
ironclnd'a passage through the Dardcnclls.
The Turks nlso suggested that the survivors
V 1- of tlio Ertegroul disaster should be landed
fi 0111 the .inpaneso vessel into the boats of
the Turkish ofllclals , thereby Intimating
that , while obliged for the favor done to
Turkey in blinking the unfortunate Turkish
sailors b.iclc to their native lanJ , the sooner
tb& Tnpimeso war vessel returned to Japan
'
tbo better pleased would the Turkish ofll
ccrs be.
This treatment so enraged the com-
inntider of the Japanese frigate
that he ordered his nnrlior hove
up and soon niter hcaded his vessel seaward
nftaln , firmly resolved to take the rescued
Turks bock to the place ho had brought them
from. While the Japanese oftlcers had bcou
parleying with the Turks , the latter it seems
bail been vigorously "working the wires"
communicating between the forts nt the en-
trancO of the Uardencllcs and the authorities
at'Constnntitioplei. Tuen there wns a furious
row between the palace authorities and the
inllltury authorities , another between the
palace outhorltlea and the naval authorities
and nirotbcr still between all the tlnvo
groups of authorities combined. When the air
ngnln became clear about Constantinople and
the Onrdenellps , steam was hurriedly got up
on the fastest vessel available at CotiHtantt-
nople , the imperial yacht. That vessel after
crowding on nil the steam she could with
safety carry , managed to overtake the
Japanese frigate oft the port of Smyrna ,
where she wns expecting to coal. The
Turkish Imperial yacht ran alongside the
Japanese Iron-el ml nnd thu Turks began n
hcries of profuse apologies for the rudeness
of the Turkish ofllcerd of tlio duty nt the
ontr.inco to the JDardcnclles , explain
ing that the international regula
tions forbid nny foreign iron-chid
from cntcru.g the striltannd : suggested all
sorts.of ways In which the matter could bo
Bcttlod.
The Japanese commander finally accepted
the apologies tendered him , transferred the
mirvlvors of the Eitogroul to the Imperial
yacht and everybody felt moro comfortable.
The news of the loss of the Ertogroul was
received hy cabin dispatches from Ilingo ,
Japan , it being then announced that .TOO of
her crew of iM ofllcers nnd sailors perished
when she foundered. Among these who
wcro drowned on this occasion was Ad
miral O.sinan I'asha , who was at tbo
tlmo confounded with the famous general
of Plevna fame , Osman Pasha , All Pasha ,
ono of the few Turkish generals who entered
the army ns a private soldier , wns nlso on
board the unfortunate Krtogronl. The Turk
ish frlgato was bearing Osman Pasha on n
special mission as envoy of the sultan to ttio
Jap.mcso emperor. The progress of the war
ship KrtogToul from the time shn loft Con
stantinople several months before she was
lost until she finally foundered in ttio China
sens , was most ludicrous. She left
Turkey short of money , coal nnd sup
plies nnd sectnS to hnvo put , without -
out rcsi.lt , Into several ports where she
expected to replenish her treasury , bunkers
nnd pantries. But the supplies which the
home officials were expected to send to these
ports , do not seem to hnvo materialized , the
result being that the unfortunate vessel wns
nlwitys in trouble nnd the crew continually in
danger of starving. She lost several of tier
officers through sickness , nnd her crew * were
frequently on the verge of mutiny owing to
the privations they hud to euduro. Tlio for
eign port authorities in several cases refused
to remit the hnrbor dues or grant other
piivilcgcs duo the Ertogroul a"s a nmn-
of Avur , ou the ground that she could not bo n
man-of-war , ns there wns not enough powder
on board of her to allow of the tiring of sa
lutes.
However , hy patience und through the
drpad experienced hy her oftlcers of Ooing
anything else the Ertogroul finally managed
tH roach Japanese waters and there seems to
have given up the struggle as a Unnl protest
ngalnst the Turkish government's stupid mis
management.

Hut Always Holds Hack n S-.rorn
KlnlPinont of Circulation.
At the tncetluir of the license board yester
day afternoon Mr. Hosowatcr appeared be
fore the board nnd entered n protest against
n license to sell liquor being granted to An
derson & Nelson , at 219 North Sixteenth
street.
The protest was on the ground thnt the ap
plicants had failed lo comply with the provi
sion of the statutes wfiich required cnch np-
illcnnt for license to advertise In the nows-
[ > aper having the inrgest clrculatloo in the
county. The remonstrance concluded ;
"TiiK OMAHA Dvtt.v BCK was by your
board designated ns such paper , and until
sorno other paper claiming n larger circula
tion has furnished the proofs and been de
clared entitled to the publication of such
notices the applicants were , under the law ,
obliged to publish their notice therein. "
Mr. Kosowator then proceeded to show the
grounds for protest , holding that boards of
| ) ollco coinmisiloners were continuous bodies ,
mil that tbo action of last year , in declaring
I'm : I5ii : the paper having the Inrgcit circu
lation , was binding on the board this year ,
slnco no other paper had ( lied proof of larger
circulation. He claimed that the recent de
cision of the supreme court , to tlio eltect that
n lirciiso board could not deprive nn appli
cant of n license who had not advertised in
the paper having the largest circulation un
less it was shown that ho had known thnt
such was tlio fact , could not apply to Omaha ,
is the board had secured pioofs of circu
lation and applicants might easily inform
themselves , i
Mr. llosuwutcr then rend n letter which
lind been sent to nil liquor dealers In the city ,
setting forth the fact that Tin : Br.i : had for
nine years past hold the position as the paper
laving the largest circulation , and giving
notice that a protest would bo made against
the granting of licenses to applicants who
idvertlsed In other papers. IIo stated thnt a
copy of this letter wns sent to Anderson &
Nelson.
A letter from Anderson & Nelson , which
: ind been published In the World-Herald , was
then read. The letter was in reply to the
circular , and was very sarcastic in its tono.
Mr. Uosuwntor then charged that Ander
son & Nelson had knowingly advertised in a
[ Miper other than tlio ono having the larccst
circulation , nnd hail thereby acted in bad
tnlth , nnd ho asked thnt n license bo not
granted to the applicants.
Theodora Williams , lessee nnd city clrcu-
ntor of Tin : BISK iu Omaha nnd South
3mahn , was sworn. Witness produced a
> ook which ho Ideutitlcd as ono containing
the carrier delivery list for the city , ortho
ictual number of papers furnished subscrib
ers. Continuing bis testimony , ho said :
"Tho total circulation of Tun Br.i : ,
ny carrier delivery Iu the city alone
durlm ; tlio week ending December 13 lust ,
was 58,714. Including the hotels , the total
'lumber was 00,80' ) . In addition to these
thcio wcro the South Omaha subscribers ,
which swell the grand total to Gli.Ull. This
number includes only tbo regular subscribers
ind the papers furnished the hotels I have
nothing to do with the county circulation or
newsboys that toll on tlio streets.
Mr. IlitchcocK of the World-Herald litre ,
: ) y permission , commenced asking witness
questions about the circulation of TIIK BKB
UurhiK September. This was objected to by
Mr. Hosewater unless ho was givon-tho same
privilege in regard to the circulation of the
World-Herald.
Mr. Hitchcock stated that ho pronosed to
show that the circulation of TUB BKK hnd
been inllated during December , und nsked
the privilege of showing the avcrngu circula
tion of the World-Herald during Urn year.
He claimed thnt TIIK HKI : hnd fallen oil dur
ing the last few mouths.
Mr. Kosewntcr offered to go through tlio
books for the whole year if the World-Herald
would do the same.
After n lengthy argument on both sides it
wns finally stipulated by Messrs. Kosowater
mid Hitchcock that each should tile with the
board nflldavits showing tlio paid circulation
of his paper in 'Douglas county for each
month of the year Ib'.K ) , said affidavits to bo
considered competent testimony. At the re
quest of tbo board it wns further stipulated
that the nflldavits should include the itoml/cj !
statement of tbo circulation of evening , morn
ing ana Sunday editions.
The latter part of the stipulation appeared
very distasteful to Mr. Hitchcock , who en
deavored to show that the evening nnd morn
ing editions wcro practically the same thing ,
and that no object"would bo gained by separ
ating * thorn. The board Insisted , however ,
and the clause was allowed to remain.
At his own request Mr. Itesewnter was
then sworn ana again wont over the ground
concerning tbo sending of the circulars to
saloonkeepers nnd druggists as related ut ttio
outset , '
At tlio conclusion of Mr. Rosowator's testi
mony Mr. Hitchcock took a hand nnd pro
ceeded to cross-exninino the witness. IIo
asked Mr. Uosewatcr If ho had ever scon any
letters sent out by the World-Herald to sa
loonkeepers. Mr. Hosowator replied that bo
had seen numbers of letters , but ho was
out of the city about the time the matter oc
curred nnd could not say whether tie had
seen letters on that particular subject or not ,
but he baa been Informed that the solicitors
of the World-Herald had called in person on
saloonkeepers and solicited their advertise
ment ,
"Did you over see nny claims that the
World-Herald had the largest circulation ] "
"Oh , I iiuvo seen plenty of claims. It
claims to bo the largest puper In the west. "
"Didn't you see that the World-Herald
claimed the largest circulation m Omaha ! "
"I hnvo seen a claim that it had over six
teen thousand weekly circulation at a time
when I know from postofllco records that It
did not circulate 1,000. "
Then followed n running repartee In which
Mr. Hitchcock displayed a great deal of an
imosity and made several attempts to corner
Mr. Hosowatcr , but his efforts were unsuc
cessful , nnd und Mr. Koscwntcr's replies onlv
served to amuse the crowd of onlookers who
filled the lobby.
After Mr. Hosewatcr's stipulation was read
ngnln nt the request of Mr. Hitchcock , who
kicked vigorously on the clause providing
for nn itemized statement of the evening and
morning editions , Mr. Uosowatcr expressed
his entire willingness to produce nfllduvits to
show the ilgurcs desired , nnd the board held
Mr. Hitchcock to the agreement. Mr. IJose-
water agreed to produce his affidavits by
Monday In order to have the matter settled
as soon as possible.
Mr. Hitchcock then took the witness stand ,
aim after being duly sworn intimated that it
ntforded him great pleasure to know thnt ho
is president of tlio World Publishing com
pany und editor of tlio World-Herald. Ho
was willing to swear that during tlio three
mouths ending December 30 , 1890 , his paper
claimed tlio Inrgest circulation of any in
Douglas county. About this tlmo he wrote
letters to all of the Omaha saloon dealers ,
notifying them that the law required the
publication of the notices in the paper having
the largest circulation , and that his pupur
was the ono occupying that proud position.
Ho sent ono of these circular letters to
Anderson & Nelson , stating that as his paper
claimed the largest circulation lie
would bo glad of their business ,
Ho know nothing about how many appli
cations these circulars brought , from the
wording , thought they secured the majority.
Mr. Hosewntcr then took the World-Herald
man in hand nnd subjected him to a severe
cross-examination , la which the latter ngnln
made thosUUcmcnt thnt for several months
the World-Herald has claimed the largest
circulation in the county ,
"Docs that circulation Include these frco
copies thnt you throw into back yards about
the time you conceived the idea of padding
your circulation far the purpose of making
this flgtuf" asked Mr. Itoso\vator.
"Oh I but you kuow It has been several
months slnco wo gave away any papera,1' ' an
swered Mr , Hitchcock , as ho evaded the main
question ,
"If you will not answer this question , what
do you say nlwut the papers bold by the news
boys nnd the unsold papers tnat , you take
back ! "
"Wo don't take back any papers , nor do wo
tlguro these street sales la our circulation. "
"So you say your circulation during December -
comber was larger than that of Tun licet"
"Ot course Isny s > o. uud I know It to be a
fact. "
. "Do you know what the circulation of Tins
lire was during December ! "
" 1 know prettv nearly. "
"Is It tint a fact that a largo number pf
names hare boon put on your I'joks during
ibo last few weeks , men who pro not sub
scribers to your pnporl"
"If they hnvo 1 do not know anything
about it. "
"Now , Mr. Hitchcock , you hnvo stated that
TIIK HUB'S circulation has been padded. Can
, -ou nnma an instance where Uio nnmo of a
uinii who Is not n subscriber has been placed
upon our booksl"
"No sir. "
At this point Mr. Gilbert nsked : "Mr.
Hitchcock , what do you mean by circula
tion J"
"I put it down as papers sold on the street.
nnd delivered bycarrlers. "
"If you mean that , you do not propose to
say that the World-Herald prints and circu
lates more papers than TUB Brsni"
"I moan to say that it has uioro bona flJo
subscribers than Tim HKH. "
"The law says nothing about bona flda
subscribers , " continued Mr , Gilbert.
Mr , Hitchcock once moro threw himself
Into the breach nnd volunteered the informa
tion that during the llrst week In December
tbo World-Herald lost but two subscribers ,
"Do you mean to ' any , " nsked Mr , Hose-
water , "thnt during the first two weeks in
December moro than COO city subscribers did
not discontinue their subscription to your
papcrl"
"I mean to say thnt the circulation In
creased during tlio month.11
"Now , Mr. Hitchcock , " said Mr. Hoso-
water , "I will furnish you BOO names of par
ties who dropped the World-Herald In De
cember nny time you want them. "
When asked whether ho furnished a sworn
statement of circulation to thu police com
mission , Hitchcock replied :
"No , 1 was not anxious to furnish ono. "
"Yet you know the Worhl-llorald's circu
lation was larger than that of Tun lifiEl"
"Vos. "
"Then why were you not anxious to fllo
such an nlmlnvltt"
This wns a stumblor for Mr. Hitchcock ,
nnd uflei * beating around the bush for some
tlmo , ho Jhmlly got out of the trap into which
uo bad fallen by stating that ho had never
told any one his circulation , but always told
them Unit it wns larger than thnt of Tim BIB :
and ho was ready to prove it.
Andrew Nelson , the applicant over whom
the controversy arose , was called nnd
sworn. Ho tcstllled that ho had never
talked with Mr. Hitchcock ; did not
know him , Ho published his notice in the
World-Herald on account of havlm ; received
n letter from Mr. Hitchcock , in which that
gentleman stated that if ho ( Nelson ) wanted
to comply with the requirements of the law ,
the publication must bo in the World-Herald.
Cross-examined , ho admitted that ho hud ad
vertised in TIIK Bins in 183'J. ' because the clerk
of the police commission instructed him to
do so.

customers wore drawing out thoirs. The
cause of tills condition was , as has been re

comptroller says the banks , both natloiml and

Instances it advanced in quoted prices. The
comptroller says there is now no need of
nervousness about the future of banking in

One or two general reports will cotno out
of the present Indian trouble in Nebraska
and South Dakota. Uo.vond reasonable doubt
the next congress will transfer the Indians to
the care of the war department , and tbo In-
ainn neonts will thereafter bo selected from
oftlccrs of the army. This will , It is believed ,
minimise tbo frauds and make the dealings
with the reds on an army bash. Armv olll-
cers know better than' politicians how to
handle the Indians and their experience will
go greatly towards pacification. The Indian ,
too , has great respoot for a soldier. Ho be
lieves him to be , lllco himself , : i warrior , and
tbo Indian bns'.a ' superstition that u
warrior would never cheat , or will
ingly maltreat . a warrior. At the
tiuio the Indian service goes to
the war department } the department of the
interior will lose tup pension bureau. The
transfer of ono burosm is largely contingent
upon tbo transfer of the other. The same
arguments for tho- transfer of the pension
bureau to the war from the interior depart
ment hold good thnt are offered for the trans
fer of the Indian 'bureau. It Is held that
since allot the documentary evidence upon
which pensions are granted must come from
the war department , an'd the clerks in the
latter ore trained in the pension work al
ready , It would boi economy of tlmo and
every thing eh > o to utilize the largo force of
war dep.irtment'clerks and the oftlcors , usu
ally idle In thu posts'Qf ' the country , in pen
sion work. BylUittransfer an nrmv ofllcer
would become coranfisslbner of pensions by

Address of Judge I'rondorKnst , Prosl-
Unnt'of tlio Trustees.
Oinc.ino , Jan. ! ) . Judge Proudorgast do-
llverod his inaugural address as president of
the board of trustees of the Chicago sanitary
district today. In beginning ho says ;
"From tbo tone of the objections being raised
to the existence of the district and the prose
cution of Its duty by this bourd It seems plalu
that some , people do ndt comprehend the
meaning of accomplished facts , The people
of trio state of Illinois through tun legisla
ture and the people of the sanitary district of
Chicago by an overwhelming popular vote de
cided und determined the propriety , ngcesslty
and feasibility of the project the board is
called upon to execute. It Is not within tlio
power of the board oven wcru it so mined to
cbango in the slightest particular the dim eu-
slons or scope of the work. Indeed , the mem
bership of the board , or at least a majority
thereof , accepted membership because they
wcro firm bcllovors In the utility , grandeur
nnd feasibility of the whole project of estab
lishing n commodious water way between
ttio waters of thu great lakes and the Missis
sippi river nnd Illinois rlvor valleys. The main
channel to bo constructed by this district
for sanitary purposes must bo of sufficient
sire nnd capacity to produce nnd maintain at
all times u continuous How of not less than
three hundred thousand cubic feet , with cur
rent the not exceeding three miles per hour ,
etc. "
Jtuigo Pcndcrgast dwells at length upon
the provisions of the act , and ailJs thnt In
view of these plain provisions as to the
boaru's power nnd duty nnd the
equally plain provisions for the commission
appointed from the territory between Jollot
and the mouth of the Illinois rlvor to criti
cally examine the board'.s ' work , "how paltry ,
though dishonest , is the position of the lobby
ists nnd hirelings of other kinds who nss.aU
the low and the motive. * nnd purposes of
these engaged in its oxi'Ciitlun. "
Coining down to the much discussed ques
tion of the Cniuinot river water way. Judge
Pendeirastsays ho wishes to repeat what bo
has frequently called attention to
Unit almost all of the moneys
appropriated for the hist twenty
years by tbo federal government for the Im
provement for Chicago harbor has been used
lor the Improvement of the Calumet river
and the South Chicago harbor. riioCalumct
rlvor has been deepened and straightened at
the oxiH'iiso of hundreds of thousands of
federal money , while the Chicago rlvor ,
which is .ho harbor of Chicago , has not been
Improved by the expenditure of 1 cent by the
feilernl government , Today wo lind tho' city
of Chicago as a municipal corporation
widening and Improving tlio Chicago
river by moans of special assess
ment proceedings nnd raising the cost
therefor from adjacent property , whorens
such Improvements m the Calumet rlvor nro
being done and have been done by the federal
government without costto ndjauuntproperty.
This is n matter tit for ivllcctlon on tlio pint
of tlio people , Moved by tlio sanitary needs
of tlio city of Chicago , the poonlo of this dis
trict have declared themselves willing to ox-
pcnd for the construction of n great main
channel from the Chicago river to the city of
Jollot a Inrgo sum of money. By tin terms
of the law this channel must ho
of such dimensions nnd capacity
ns to furnish a ure.it navigable water way.
Ono of thu reasons leading to those provis
ions of law was that In order to render sew
erage inoffensive nnd harmless to the people
of tlio Illinois river valley tlio vast volume of
water required to bo furnished for dilution
must nnd can only pass through such chan
nels , which , while affording an inoffensive
sewage outlet , will also answer for such n
large navigable channel , It is bcjond cavel
that the federal government would simply
misappropriate money if it devoted any
part of the appropriation to con
structing a bccoml water wny
anywhere between Jollot and Lnko Michi
gan , and that the proper and onlv proper
expenditure of federal moneys will u uo-
tweon Jollct nnd north of Illinois river sons
to tit the river to bo a continuation of tlio
channel constructed by this sanitary
district between Lnko Michigan and
Joliet. If the parties interested
in and about Calumet at their own
expense or with federal assistance make
progress 'toward nn Independent waterway
this board will have no quarrel with them ,
but it is the unquestioned duty of this
board to sco to it that what lias happened us
between the Chicago river and thu Calumet
river will not happen to the detriment of this
district or its interests.
Judge Prendcrgost makes llttlo of the al
leged hostility on the part of the railway In
terests to tlio construction of the waterway.
After outlining the present status of the
enterprise , suggesting the Immense water
power thnt will bo created at
the western edge of tlio city on the
Dcsplames river , commercial possibilities ,
etc. , Judge Pendercost says : "Tbo general
subject of such u waterway as it is the policy
of tbo state of Illinois to co-operate in con
structing includes a brunch which In tlio
peaceful and prolitablo days of commercial ,
industrial tnnd agricultural activity is not
borne in nnnd by tbo musses of the people
nnd yet which is important to all of them. "
The judge refers to tlio restriction of our
naval force on the great lakes by the treaty
with Great UriViln , made when the laws and
the territort tributary to them wcro a
mighty wilderness. Now when the lakes
nru oordered with regions of dense
population und great cities nil
along their shores , the Britisn-Canndlnn
authorities , ut an expenditure of more than
$ .UI,0X,000 ) ( ) , have constructed u series of
waterways between Jho laltcs and tlio At
lantic seaboard of suoir dimensions that over
ono hundred nnd twenty-live war vessels
on the British naval list can pass
into the great lakes , and iu addition it has
been the policy of the Government to foster
the construction of steel vessels for commer
cial purposes to navigate Canadi in waters ,
susceptible of use as urmod cruisers in case
of hostilities.
Ho mentions the system of arma
ments on Vancouver Island , com
manding Puget sound , etc. , and says :
'In addition to nil this ns well as the British
military and naval stations that circle our
country in other waters , wo have upon our
northern frontier n rich , strong and vigorous
country and a people bound by many ties
to England , presenting all along
our borders a magnificent svstem
of offensive nnd defensive utilities ,
nnd up to this hour the government of the
United States has done substantially noth
ing to meet or cope with a hostile demonstra
tion from this source. * * * The fcdoral
government has surveyed Lake Peorin ,
which is but n widening of the Illinois
river near the city of Peoria , and naval
experts have pronounced it an adequate and
available site for n rovcrnmeiit station for
tbo construction , maneuvering and storing of
torpedo gunboats. Indeed , most of tlio in
vestigations and expenditures made by the
government on the Illinois river
have had relation to the subject of
ultimately perfecting accessibility from the
Mississippi river to Lnko Michigan. But , of
course , such n station would bo nn absurdity
In so fur as it relates to tlio lakes without n
channel for the passage of vessels from It to
tbo lakes , and there is no doubt that tlio con
struction of a main channel , aided by the
logic of the situation nnd of
events , will compel the construction
of the remainder of the water-way by the
federal government with.nmong other things ,
the construction of such a naval station near
the city of Peoria. "
After a resume of what ho considers tlio
tremendous probable rommorclnl effects of
thu canal , Judge Prcnciorgiist , In con
clusion , said : "When Marquctto nnd
Jollot nnd I/uSallo and Ilcnnepln nmdo
their weary marches to reach tlio river of
Do Soto they walked the way of destiny.
Tills valley region , formerly a highway of
waters , has become nnd must become moro
nnd moro a highway of commerce. "
