OLD GAME OF THE SULTAN
Ilrltlfth Press Think tlint Turkey
Itulrr i Only Trying Ills Hnnil
nt HlufT Aitnln,
LONDON, April 19. Keen Interest is
manifested here In tho threatened action of
tho United States against Turkey, particu
larly In view of the sultan's recalcitrancy
In connection with the Increase of the cus-
duties. Tho fourth collective note of
ales objecting to an Increase of
the duties on aocount of thu
Turkish finances, without
landing with the powers,
Turkish government yes
terday, but 'nWey maintains such a firm
attitude that the suspicion is growing that
some covert Intrigue Is frustrating the ef
fect of the notes.
Tho St. James Gazette says: "It will bo
interesting to watch the game of procrasti
nation, to which Europe is accustomod, be
ing played with the United states. America
has entered the European arena, and ap
parently has no Intention of standing any
humbug from tho Turks. Why should she?
Tho eastern question has no terrors for a
power with a whole ocean between herself
nnd tho Balkans. Tho president thinks the
sultan has had grace nough. But if
America sets foot In Asia Minor perhaps
she will find that neither Russia nor Ger
many will bo uninterested spectators. From
ourselves she will get nothing but sym
pathy and good will."
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Abdul and
tho steam roller ore quite used to dodging
around each other without damage to any
body, but tho brusque hurry of tho Ameri
can government must be rather disconcert
ing. Theso Americans, so far from playing
n gamo, aro positively talking of seizing
Smyrna."
The papers generally think Abdul Hamld
will pny up.
Tiirlil-.li Minister VInII liny.
WASHINGTON. April 19. Among the
callers on Acting Secretary Hill today was
All Ferrouh Bey, tho Turkish minister to
Washington. Though this was diplomatic
day, and tho minister has been a rather fre
quent visitor to tho department on such
days, It was pretty well understood that the
occasion for this particular call wan tho
publication of tho Intention of tho United
States government to bring to an Immcdlato
Issue tho negotiations with Turkey relative
to tho payment of tho American missionary
and other clnlmo. It la understood that the
purposo of tho minister was primarily to
gather Information on this subject, of which
ho was tgtiorant owing to the fact that tho
negotiations havo been conducted exclusively
In Constantinople.
Following the Invariable, rulo pf diplomatic
Intercourse, neither of the principals ware
at Uborty to disclose tho details or the In
terview. It Is undorstood, however, that
while awaro that there ban been nothing so
far In the nature of an ultimatum, the min
ister was impressed with tho fact that the
situation Is actually ono of great gravity
and it Is presumed ho will so inform his
government. He expresses himself as con
fident that the present crisis will be safely
passed without permanent disturbance of
the traditional good relations between the
United States and Turkey.
ITALIAN STRIKERS JAILED
Several Lender of the Laborer in
Nov York 'Arrested Many Have
Kled from Their, Home. .
CROTON LANDINO, N. Y April 19.
This was by far tho liveliest day In and
around the Croton valley slnco tho strike
began seventeen days ago,
The civil nnd military authorities played
a very prominent part In the day's proceed
ings and tho result Is that twenty-six Ital
ians uro now behind prison bars awultlng
examination on charges of Inciting to riot
and carrying concealed weapons with Intent
to Intllct bodily Injury. Sheriff Molloy of
Westchester county secured thlrty-ono war
rants for tho arrest of the leaders of tho
strlkeix and search warrants for the search
of tho houses In tho Italian colonics where
the laboreis lived, from Judgo I.ent at Sing
Sing last night.
This fact became known last night und
more thnn 100 Italians fled from their homes
during tho night to avoid arrcut. It was
sold today that fully 160 of the men who
had struck for higher wages had gone to
Now York nnd Syracuse, whero they have
socured other places. Many of them left
tho station here early this lornlng and
some of them suld thoy could get work olsc
whero nnd were leaving to avoid trouble.
Slnco tho arrival of tho cavalry on Tues
day tho strikers havo besn very qulot und
did not ropeat their drills with tho accom
panying display of Bhotguns, rides nnd re
volvers. In fact tho result of today's raid
would go to show that tho arms havo been
carefully hidden away.
Tho sheriff, with a porso of twenty-flvo
deputies, escorted by Company D of tho
Seventh regiment, arrived nt the Bowery
nbout 9 o'clock, whero they began a
thorough Bearch of the houses for weapons
and ammunition and whenever thoy came
across a porson for whom thoy had a war
rant they placed him under urrest. Thero
was not tbo slightest rcslstanco mado ex
cept by ono man. In tho Bowery nln
prisoners were captured, three of whom
were Marcolo Hotello and his two sons,
Angelo and Antonio. Ono revolver, a toy
pistol, a fow cartridges nnd several dirks
and stilettos were found and confiscated.
Tho sheriff then went to tho other side of the
river nnd scoured the houses on top of the
hill and In Llttlo Italy. In thU round-up,
which lasted nearly four hours, sixteen
prisoners wcro captured. Only ono revolver
aud a lot of knives wero found,
The sheriff's party with Its ecort went on
tho granlto train to the quarry near Peeks
kill to look for the other nuspects, but al
though they kept up their search until night
fall, no urrest was mado. Just what effect
the arrests will have on the other Btrlkcrs
remains to 1h seen, but the fact that mnny
of them havo fled may Induco others to do
likewise or else return to their work. Very
little work was accomplished nt tho dnm to
day and only four additional laborers were
working with tho thirty which are quar
tered nt tho workH.
HitrrlMtii n .Strike Ailjimler.
CHICAGO, April 19. Major HarrUon's
plans for Bottling the labor troubles in Chi
cago did not show material results toduy.
His otllco was tho BCeno of several confer
ences during tho day.
Tho building contractors Informed the
mnyor that It would not consent to
uny consultation nt which the representa
tive of the Building Trades Council was
present and that what tbo organization de
sired was the abolition of the labor unions'
council. Consequently there wero two sepa
rate conference, attended first by tho build
ing material men and three representatives
of tho contractors.
Tho next session was with tho material
men and tho labor unions' representatives,
Tho result was that tomorrow Mayor Har
rison will receive tbo contractors at his of
fice to discuss matters and In the afternoon
tho material men and contractors will at
tempt to reach somo conclusion.
Mayor Harrison was not greatly encour
aged over tho outlook. Ho expected some
assurances would bo made that the strike
would come to an end soon, but was able to
announco no definite steps toward that end.
