vVASHINOTON , Nov. 23. The Turkish
legation received from the sublime porte the
following telegram , under today's date : "The
Syrian Latin nnd Syrian Catholic bishops of
Ourfa , together with some leading men of
their communities , have lust wired to the
grand vizier as follows ! 'In consequence of
the events that took place at Ourfa , the local
authorities adopted wise measures , thanks
to which peace was secured. The leading
Mu-nulmane of our city and all our neigh
bors continue to maintain with us most cordial -
dial relations. ' The following Is a copy of a
telegram lent by the commander In chief
of the Fourth corps of the Imperial .army :
" 'I transmitted Immediately to the mili
tary commanders jour fresh Instructions.
Order lmn already been completely restored
In the six provinces. Prompt military meas-
mcs having been taken for the repression of
the disorders which occurred In the province
of Slvas. I mo t llrmly believe that within
& short time pcjcc will be restored In this
province also. '
"The leading Armenians of Erzeroum paid
a vlfclt to Marshal Chaklr I'asha and to the
vail of nrzeroum and expressed to them their
regrets for the disorders provoked by the
Armenian revolutionists. They at the name
time presented their thanks for the. meas
ures taken concerning the treatment of the
wounded , the care of the destitute and the
care of churclm and schools.
"The Armenian rlotors of Marasli fired on
the Mussulmans and net fire at many points ,
but thanks to the mea ures taken , the fire
was mastered. Perfect tramiulllty prevails

LONDON , Nov. 24. A dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says ths opinion
prevails In diplomatic circles that a Eu
ropean. conference Is Indispensable for the set
tlement of the Turkish question , for although
the powers have agreed , this agreement ran-
not be changed Into action for fear of diaw-
Ing Europs into a dangerous eastern situ
ation. The winter snows will keep the A la-
tlo provinces quiet , but something must be
clone before spring revives the excitement
nnd Macedonia Is brought Into the move
ment. Consuls estimate the loss of propeity
im a result of the Dlarbeklr riots alone at
$2,000,000. General alarm still continues
here ; despite reassuring reports from piov-
Inccs nnd the wealthy Armenians slotp at
the hotels In preference to remaining ut
their homes.
A batch of official dispatches has been
published reporting that order has been
completely restored almost everywhere , ex
cept nt Slvas , owing to the IHC.IKUIPB which
the government has adopted. It Is under
stood that several of the notables ami per-
nlons In authority In Erieroum have apolo
gized to Shaklr Pasha for the disasters pro
voked there by Armenian revolutionist * The
Christian bishops at Ourfa have telegraphed
the grand vizier that their safety Is p ured.

London.
LONDON , Nov. 24. The Dally News this
morning announces the death of M. Bart-
helmy St. Hllare. He was a little more than
00 years of age at the tlnu of his death and
wnu probably the only man living who
retained a clear personal recollection of
Napoleon I. The first occasion was March
31 , 1814. whsn the allied armies entered
Paris. The sufferings of that day were the
more strongly Imprespsd upon his mind
because they were associated with the physi
cal pain of an attack of ophthamla , a malady
that troubled htm all his life. He had a
better view of Napoleon In 1815 at a review
In the Champs ) de Mars. The last glimpse
that ho caught of Napoleon occurred a few
weeks later , as he walked on the terrace of
the Tulllleries. M. St. Hllare was a writer
of considerable note for the English papers.
The Dally News announces the death of
Lord de Tabley , the poet. Baron Ichn Byrne
Lycester Warren de Tabley , the only son
of Baron George de Tabley. was born In 1835 ,
was educated at Eton , and was a lawyer by
profepslon. He a Ira wrote a great deal for
the magazines. _

LONDON , Nov. 24. The Times publishes
an article'on the Pacific cable and the pro
posed steamship service to Canada direct.
It says the success of the movement Is
largely due to Canada. The government docs
not intend to subsidize the Australian-Pa
cific service from Australia to Vancouver.
It Is also understood the government will
only subsidize the Atlantic section of the
service In consideration that better time
can be made over the Canadian Pacific rail
way than can now be made under exletlng
circumstances. In the cable schemes the
principle Is recognized that In order to have
British connections exclusively the line must
In the first instance be carried westward
from the center. By acceptance of this prin
ciple Canada obtains a position she has
never before occupied , a the main highway
of the British empire.

the Insurgents , who captured eleven cities.

as to discuss the wisdom of an appeal to
Russia for aid In suppressing the Insurrec

SANTA CLARA , Cuba , Nov. 24. To the
Editor of the New York World : I hear that
my remarks concerning the United States ,
made In the recent Interview published In El
Imperial , were construed as having an un
friendly tone , and that I Intimated that there
was nn unfriendly feeling between Spain and
the United States on the subject of Cuba.
Headers of that Interview should observe
with clearness that I was actuated only b)1
filendly sentiments. It Is true I thought
the United States ultimately might recog
nize the- Insurgents as belligerents , because
I was acquainted with the course of public
sentiment throughout that great nation. The
American colonies went to war with their
mother country and separated from her , and
It Is surely a broad-minded view to assume-
It natural for the American people to re
member their own national history. I have
been Informed that the North Americans
entertain sympathy for the rebellion to a
general extent. If I have anticipated recog
nition , It was because of this popular senti
ment. This was on general principles. Al
though a government may not be disposed
to commit Itself , I can understand how n
government created by the people and subor
dinate- the people would yield to the public ,
I have , however , great confidence In the
sober common sense of the people of the
Ui.lted States , which always is asserted at
the last moment , and which , has been a
predominant feature In the development of
the nation's greatness.
I think the Cuban belligerents' position at
present gives them no claim upon the United
States ? for recognition. There Is an active
icbelllon in Cuba , but Insurgents hold no
seaports no Interior town. There
, are- numer
ous villages ) named on the map which con
sist of five or ten huts. Sometimes the In-
suigents remajn for a period of tlmo In on ?
of thesQ hamlHs. When I tend a column of
troops to It they disappear Jn the wild , path-
les country that exists In the only dls'rlcts
In which they operate. The great North
American boldler. General Grant , ably cov
ered the-subject of recognition of the belliger
ency of the rebels In the former revolution.
He stated , In a public document with which
I am familiar , that there was no ground for
him to rscognl/.e Cuban belligerency when
the people who bought recognition held no
port or town. President Grant created n
precedent , and I hear now from Madrid that
the- government does not anticipate any overt
acts of unfrltndlln s on the part of the
United States. I sincerely hope that thla
may always prove true , for I have allowed
myself to entertain the wish that the two
countries , mine own and the- American re
public , might aluajK maintain th ? friendly
relations' which have characterized the past.
General Grant held that anjthing- that would
caiibe trouble between this country and Eu
rope would be lamentable.Vo would havt
the worst end of It , and I would be sorry
for that. MARTINEZ CAMPOS.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 24. Senator William

ter to tl.o president :
"WASHINGTON , Nov. 22 To the Presi
dent : I make complaint to you and through
you to our Interstate Commerce commission
against the trust and pooling agreement
now nearly finished of the eight American
railroad trunk lines and the Canadian line of
pooling the trains between New York City
and Chicago. The agreement provides that
every railroad In the combination shall make
and maintain the transportation rates pre
scribed by a board of managers representing
all the roads. This ' ' . a conspiracy In re
strain ! of trade and commerce , under the act
of July 2 , IS'.iO. The agreement also makes
certain that alt competition shall be abolished
as above required by Imposing heavy fines
upon nny offending road , which fines are
to bo applied for the benefit of the other
roads. This Is a division of earnings contrary
to section C of the Interstate commerce
law.
law."This
"This trust and pooling- agreement can be
annihilated as provided by explicit existing
laws of the United States' , first , by Injunc
tion from the courts ; second , by nn order
of the Interstate Commerce commissioner
or third , by an Indictment of the Individuals
signing the same.
"It can easily be stopped by a vigorous
appeal front you to J. Plerrepont Morgan ,
whoso power over the nine governors of the
nine trunk lines Is as > absolute as It was over
the- bond syndicate. It cannot be possible

WASHINGTON , Nev. 21. Postmaster
General Wilson made his first annual re
port to the public of the lecelpts of the
Postofllco department for the year ending
Jun ; 30 , 1M > 5 , It shows the receipts to have
been J7C.171.090 and the expenditures $ SG-
790.172.
It Is 'gratifying , says the report , that a
large portion of the deficiency occurred In
the first quirter of the year and that rev
enues an Increasing with returning pros-
tperUy. Mr. Wilson estimates the revenue
ifor the year ending June 30 , 1897 , at $89-
793,130 and the expenditures at $01,817.900 ,
the difference to be made up by congressional
appropriations. Speaking of the deficiency ,
Mr. Wilson 'says ' :
"Tho regular annual dsflclency In the
tevenuea of the postal service , emphasised ,
ws It appears to ftp , bythe - unusual amount
should bosolf-BUS
ng. Dut It Vliodld be remembered that the'
fr fr business done by this department for
other branches and depattments of the gov
ernment , If paid for "at regular or cost irate * .
would more than wipe out Its deficiencies. "
The postmaster general refers lo the
growth of the frse delivery service , and
says : "I believe It Is good policy for con
gress and for this department to foster the
extension of this service by Judicious ap
propriations and judicious administration.
The vigorous and effective efforts of my
Immediate- predecessor BJcin to have pro
duced at least an honest administration of
the eight hour law , and mart 2 letter carrier
trip and ofllclal time reports actual and
truthful records of service. To bring about
this substantial reform , just alike to the
department and to the carriers , as well as
the public , and for other necessary improve
ments In this service , a special examina
tion of ths carrier system was begun under
his administration. Involving a thorough
examination Into the needs of and details of
the system. "
He concurs In ths recommendations of
the first postmaster general for promoting
the efficiency of the work. Mr. Wilson reIterates -
Iterates the necessity of legislation to punish
train urppkfnir nml nhRtrnntlnn nf MIA ninllK
urged by his predecessor , and recommends
legislation authorizing the uee of private
postal cards.
Concerning the abuses of second-class mall
matter , Mr. Wilson says : "I can add little
to the reasons given by Postmaster General
Olssel .and Postmaster General "Wanamaker
for amendments to the law as to second-class
matter , Imperatively needed to pave the
postal service from enormous abuses and con
sequent enormous loss of revenue , which no
regulations ) of the department or watchfulness
of Us officials can guard against. I respect
fully and earnestly recommend to congress
a careful scrutiny Into the abusa and such
remedial legislation as shall be deemed ueces-
sury and effective foi Its correction. "
Upon another feature of the second-class
matter the postmaster general says : "The
vclume of second-class matter passing through
the nialln Increases ) rapidly , and has reached
such proportions as to seriously retard the
distribution of malls In < hj- larger postofrlccs
and railroad postofllces. The department ,
through 'Is ' local representatives , has repeat
edly urged publishers to separate their pub
lications by fetates and roit'es , where the
quantity of any one state or territory Is suffi
cient to justify It , before sending them to
the mailing offices , and has endeavored lo
show them that their own Interests would bo
subserved thereby. "
Postmaster General Wilson says : "The
civil service rules should be extended wher
ever practicable. The magnitude and multi
plicity of Itu business operations , the perfec-
tlon'of service which the people- are learning
to demand and the palpable truth that such
business operations can be carried on and
such perfect service rendered only by men
trained and expert ; all these and many other
reasons call for > uch stability of tenure ut

In trie judgment of onef , my recent preda :

rather for character than numbers. The
eighth annual convention of the Transmlssls-
slppl Commercial congress will be called to
order at Crelghton hall at U o'clock this
forenoon and the sessions will continue until
probably Friday afternoon. This Is by far
on ; of the most representative bodies that the
city has had the privilege of vmtcrtalnlng and
nothing has betn left undone that may con
tribute toward > ho pleasure or profit of the
guects. The mai.agcrs of the. congress have
prepared a program of discussions , which In
cludes almost every subject that Is of Inter
est to the dwellers west of the MtHslsslppI ,
and UK the speakers are men cf more than
usual ability , there Is every reason to believe
that tht convention will be one of the most
profitable nnd enjoyable In the history of the
organization.
Many of the delegates arrived jcstcrday and
took up their quarters at the various hotels.
Yesterday's arrivals comparatively few ,
however , and It Is not expected that the full
jrrength of the convention will bo mustered
bsfore Tuesday morning. AB It Is gciisrally
understood that the drat day of the conven
tion Is usually devoted to organization and
loutlno matters , In which the generality of
the members have-cnly a secondary Intercut , a
great many of the delegates prefer to spend
Sunday at home and arrive In time for the
second day , when the more Inercstlng fca-
tuiss of the convention arc taken up.

of Ogden will have to pay tfull fare for the
round trip , and as attendance at the con
vention Involves no manner of compensation
nuts'd ' ? of the Ideas that are to be acnnlrcd ,
It Is not every one. who IP willing to go
to the expense required. Omaha has the dif
ficulty to contend with that It IB located at
nearly the extreme northeast of the territory
from which the congress Is drawn , so that
the failure : to obtain rates will be a more
potent factor In decreasing the attendanca
than would bo the case If the convention
point was more centrally located.
At the San Francisco convention the Mid
winter fair assisted In Inducing the attend
ance of delegates , and very low rates were
obtained. As the present convention meets
under very different circumstances , Mr.
Whltmore Inclines to be belief that If the
attendance Is much less than It was at San
Francisco , It will bo no reason wbyani' one
Kliould feel disappointed.
WILL DISCUSS FREIGHT RATES.
As far as the convention Itrelf Is con.- * ' '
cerned , Mr. Whltmore expects that It will
10 marked by exceptional Interest. "I do
tot think the silver question wll ) play much
of a part In the proceedings , " he con-
Inued. "That has lout ground recently and
s no longer a subject of first Interest. The
natter of freight discriminations will un
doubtedly bo on ? of the best subjectu on the
irogiam , end the discussions pf forestry , Ir-
Igatlon , harbors and de p waterways , and
the Nicaragua canal , will be attended with
niicli Interest. I do not expect that there
will be anything like a full attendance to-
norrow mornlnc , but that Is usually the
casd , and later trains will undoubtedly hrliij ;
n a l&ige mnnhr of additional delegates ,
who do not care' lo travel all night In order
o participate In the organization. "
It has hern found ncccs ] ry to make some
changes In the piogrnm which was originally
announced by the general conimltteo on
entertainment In defrience to the wUhcs of
ho odlrera of the congress. The reception
at the city hall this evening will ho from 9
o 7 o'clock In order not to Interfere Mltli the
evening setalon of the convention. On Tncs-
lay thcro will bo scshlcns oMhe convention
n tliu morning and ovcn'iifc' . In the ufturnoon
ho vIsltot-H will bo taken for a trip to the
smelting works anilCtho stock yards , The
stait will be maili > : 'ni/tl o'clock , tic | muclter
being the first ) objective point. Then a
piclal motor train wljl take the party to
South Omaha , > retutnlng In time * for supper.
The reception ut the Llnlnger Art gallery
vlll bd given Wednesday evening. This will
not bo a public affair , as was prcvlptibly nn-
louncid. as the dekgateR and the local com
mittees on cnlettalnment will be sufficient to
ux the acctimmolatloiiB of the gallery. Tluirs-
ay after lion the convention will adjourn to
he foot ball Held and In the evening they
will bo tliu Kiieeti of the Knights of Ak-Sar-
ien ut the ColUcum.
The convention program has not been com
peted beyond tlin first day , The executlvo
