MIGHT NOT HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT Aililltlnnn to the Vlee-t In Iloitiiliornn , It In TlioiiKlit , AVfiiilil i\eltc l' u- tilncc nnd InrreiiNc to Ko CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 24 ( via Sofia , llulgarla , Nov. 25. ) The main question now being discussed between the Porte and the representatives of the powers Is that of udJ- Ing four extra guardshlps to the little foreign fleet In the Uosphorus , Great lirllaln , Italy , Russia and Austria demanding firmans for the passage through the Dardanelles of an ex tra gunboat to bo attached to their respective embassies. Although the demands wtro made over a Meek ago , on the ground that the foreign population of Constantinople then needed this additional protection , the sultan still holds out In his refusal to grant the required per mission. From the highest authority the Associated press Is enabled to give the view of the case taken by the Turkish government. It Is as follows : AVhlle admitting that the powers possess the right to have two guardshlps each In the Ijosphorus , the Porto considers that the pro posed Increase of the number of foreign war veescla there under the present condition of things In the Turkish empire might excite the Mucmilmans and create an effect not desired by the powers. In addition the Porte points out that , In view of the measures taken to preserve order there , an Increase In the number of guard- ships attached to the embassies la not re quired. It can bo said upon authority that this Is the substance ot a note which the Porto hail sent to the represntatlve ? of the powers In reply to an urgent request for an answer to their request for the firmans referred to. So soon as the note shall have been received and considered at the Urltlsh , Russian , Italian and Austrian embassies , a conference of tha representatives of those powers will be called , and a Joint reply may be sant to the Porte. The t-ubstance of the Porto's note will also be telegraphed to the different Ottoman em bassies and mlnlsterles abroad , with Instruc tions to Inform the governments to which they are accredited of the stand taken by the sultan In this matter. In addition , the Turkish reprcsentallvcM at London , St. Petersburg , Rome and Vlenni will bo Ipstrucled lo earnestly request the four powers not to Insist upon their demands In connection with the proposed extra guard- ships. SULTAN FEARS A TRICK. While the aboveIs , In brief , the reply which the Porto Is sending to the four powers , It should be added that In political circles thn -Qpugnance of the Porte to grant thefirmans applied for Is attributed lo the belief which Is said to exist among the Turkish ministers and Abdul Hamld'a entourage that to grant the llrmnns would be a sad blow to Hie dig nity of the sultan nnd direct proof of lack of confldenfvijmon'tlio part of the powers In his ability to govern and maintain order. But be hind this , It Is claimed , lurks the fear upon the part of the sultan that the demanded In crease In the number of foreign guardshlps In the Bosphorus In really only a cloak for the Intention of the powers to make a naval demonstration In Turkish waters In case of renewed disturbances In Asiatic Turkey. In reply to the appeal directed by Baron von Calls , tha Austrian ambassador , to the Armenian patriarch , to exert his Influence- prevent another outbreak , which It was feared was the purpose of the damonslrallons which the Armenian central revolutionary committee Is alle&cd to have planned for this city , the patriarch rays that no such demonstration Is contemplated by the Ar menians , "although , " he adds , "despair reigns among them owing to the Incessant arrests and exiling ot Armenians. " The patriarch Insisted that 400 Armenians ot this vicinity have recently bcn exiled to Anatolia. * The Halrlnlk , n. . local newspaper , which , as exclusively announced In these dispatches was suppressed last week , because its editor refused to publish an article , ' sent to htm by the Turklth authorities condemning "the Intrigues ot the Armenians , " has boon granted permission to resume publication. The absence of news from Zeltoun , which the Armenians are still said to be holding In strong force , and the failure of the gov ernment to furnish any Information regardIng - Ing concentration ot Turkish troops at Marash for the advance on Keltoun , Is caus ing some uneasiness. Besides , no news Is obtainable concerning the rising of the Dnizs against Turlksh rule , one of tha most si'i-loiiB features of the whole situation. The financial situation continues to hamper the government In Its efforts to restore order In Asiatic Turkey , and there does not seem to bo any sign of relief , From what can be learned hsre. It would seem that the situation In Anatolia appears to bfl much mnra tranquil than for some time past , and there Is no doubt that efforts are being made to maintain order In the districts where disturbances arc threatened nnd lq suppress disorders where outbreaks have occurred. All dangers have passed now , however , In Analolla. The governor of IladJIn , who had threat ened to burn the convent there and set fire to the barley fields , has , owing to the strong representations madeto the Porte on tha subject by Mr. Terrell , been recalled , nnd his conduct will bo Inquired Into. The members of the- American colony here , as well as other foreign residents of this city nnd vicinity , Join In praising the energetic and effective action of Mr. Terrell , under very trying circumstanced. There hcems to b ? no reason for doubting that his representations to the Porte have been the means nt Riving American lives and pre serving American properly. TllOOI'S I'HOTKCT THIS AMHUICAVS.

Fuller develop ments concerning the finding ot a dead man on a trading boat below Art ar City reveal the fact that four men were rrmrdered. About three weeks ago three men purchased the boat , and , with n boy , moved two and a halt miles below Arthur. FoV several days the boat has been observed anchored without n human being In sight. sWeral citizens concluded to Investigate , and ' ( he corpses of the three men and boy were all found lying In bed , undressed. A ferodloua dog pre vented the putles from entering ; for a time , but was finally overcome , TV victims had evidently ben dead several days. One of them met death by his skull-being crushed. Themen's clothing was scattered about the room , with their pockets turned Inside out , show'ng ' robbery as well as murder. One was a large man , about 45 or CO years ot age , with a heavy sandy moustache- , shaving so as to extend to his lower Jawbone. Papers under his head Indicated his name was K , C. Cardoy and that he was the owner of the outfit. The boy was about 12 years old , heavily built , with dark hair , and was evidently the son of Cardoy. Another was. Identified by citizens of Chlcola and Arthur as Henry Thomas Rice , who has been' music teacher. He was about 28 or 30 years old. The other Is about 35 or 40 years of age , red complex- loned , beard ot about two -weeks' growth and stubby moustache. The party were trappers , liuntcrs , fisher men and gamblers , and had a full outfit with them and a good store of provisions. They had been drifting along the river for some time , having bought the boat several weeks ago from a man named Clifford nt Ragalale , Tex. , about fifty mile's above there. They stopped at several points , remaining several days at each. On the 1.1th they were In Arthur City , where they displayed con siderable money. The younger , red-facad man gave his name as Maddox and said no was from Atlanta , Go. , anA'-sald that his father was a grocery merchant' there. They left Arthur Wednesday , ana were murdered Thursday night , the 14th , as several shots were heard from the boat. The place was an out of the way spot , the' nearest house being two miles away. There Is no clue whatever , and the officers have no hops of ever solving the mystery , though they are working hard on the case. They returned tonight with the dog , which they will keep. _ _ t m\oii.\cni > TEKUKM/AS A THAITOH Minister to Turkey Held'HeNpoiiHlliIc for tlio Coiiilltlou of' llHNloiiurlen.

Sunday night's snow storm , or rather Omaha's share ot It , was only a little bit ol the great cyclonic movement that has dis turbed the Clements In the northern centra ! tec-lion ot the country during the last few days. On Sunday night snow or rain fell over an area from Chicago to the Ilocky mountains and from Galvcston to British America. Very little wind accompanied the fall. Early yesterday morning the wind came up , and during the day It Increased to a gale , During the day 'In Omaha the sun shone bright and die temperature was such thai the wind did not carry much misery with It , Only a trace of precipitation fell. Out Omaha fared better than many other points In the region covered by the storm. From reports received at the local weathei bureau up to 9 o'clock last evening It ap pears that the storm came from the north west , and covering Nebraska and contiguous territory with a deep snow without wind or cold , passed on down and became central last evening at St. Louis , adding high winds tc the snow feature. Kansas City , St Louts and Chicago reported heavy snow last night , with the Indication that today excessively strong winds would be blowing over the lake region. The storm Is being followed by a high barometer and low tempsrature , due to ar rive from Montana and "Utah this morning , when It Is predicted the mercury will be about 10 or 15 above zero. Through the day the temperature may rise considerably. At Chicago last night the wind was blowIng - Ing at the- rate of thirty-four miles an hour. It was much like this In Iowa and Missouri and havoc was played with telegraph wires. In fact , communication by wire all over the central slates was Interrupted. In Omaha the full of snow was equal to twenty-four hundredths of an Inch of water , equivalent to two and one-half Inches ol enow. enow.FARMERS WELL PLEASED. PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. , Nov. 25. ( Special. ) The first good snow ot the season com menced falling here yesterday afternoon at 4:15 : and continued at' ' the rate of forty-live one hundredths of an Inch per hour for about five houra , when It quit. About 10:40 : this morning It started again , and enough fell to measure nearly three and one-fourth Inches. This snow Is Just what farmers have been praying for the post two months , as nearly the entire corn crop Is cribbed and the winter wheat Is In the finest condition It has been for the last five years. Its only needs at present have been supplied. The Plattsmouth representative of The Dee , lu-.conversatlon with a number of lejidlng.-fiarmers through Cass county. In the last few days , learned that there exists among agriculturists In these parts an unusual amount of confidence In the outlook for next season. A leading farmer from the central part ot the county said : ' "For some reason there seems to > B A great change In things In the last year regarding the rentlng'of , land for next year. Farmers who have never."rented their , land' for"anythlng but cash , \vllllngrand anxious to let their ground for one-third or twd-flfths , owing to tthe locality , Improvements , etc. While on the other hand , those renting the land are perfectly willing to pay cash rent In advance at the rate of $3.75 to $4 per acre , where last year $3 to $3.50 was good money for the best of ground. Even at this rate there are ap parently two tenants for every piece of land In the county for rent. These facts are par tially accounted for by the fact that the year of 1894 was the first .total crop failure over known In Cass county. In the early 70s there was a failure , but every man who hod any grain at all raised sulllclcnt to carry him through , though the quality was very In ferior. " LA PLATTE , Neb. , Nov. 25.

The hall had been decorated with more than usual care and tnstc. The walls \\cro gorgeous In the red , green and yellow of tlio Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilcn. On one slda of the- hall the word "Welcome" appeared lu large- letters surrounded by a framework of na tional flags. The same decoration ! , adorned the gallery , In which was seated the Soveiith Ward Military band. But It was on and about the stage that the taste of the decora tors had been most lavishly and skillfully displayed. A large banner bearing the name of the congress was suspended over the arch and the lower part of the stage was a verita ble garden of chrysanthemums , ferns , cacti , and potted plants. The spaces on each side of the stage were entirely concealed bjr draplngs of huge American flags , and the stage setting was a bright Interior scene- which was In perfect harmo.nv with the color and fragrance of the flowers. There was some little delay In getting all these arrangements perfected , and It wfls after 11 o'clock when Mayor Uemls and President George Q. Cannon hsaded the pro cession , which marched from the headquar ters at the Mlllard hotel to the hnll. The. band played the "Star Spangled Uannor , " and then President Cannon called the con vention to order. Prayer was offered by Hev. Frank Crane of the First Methodist church of this city , after which I. W. Car penter welcomed the convention In behalf of the business men of Omaha. Ho said : I1USINESS MEN'S WELCOME. "In behalf of the general committee of. business men which was honored With the privilege of arranging for the reception of this congress , I wish to tell you wo are- made glad by your coming. Wo count li. no small honor to have nw our guests the delegates from the great , states and territor ies west of the Mississippi river ; from Minnesota seta , Dakota and Montana on the north ; Washington , Oregon and California on ths west ; Arizona , Texas , New Mexico and Ariz ona on the south , and also the- many otTit'i" statea and territories within this boundary , and all vastly rich In either mineral or agricultural resources. "Many of the delegates to this congress- doublUss represent the p'loncers of the early days , who have led lu this grand worlc which , under the blessings of Almighty God , In a half century lm transformed a wilderness Into n garden. We all recognize- the fatherhood of God. Let us also bavo- and cherish the brotherhood of man. So , today , an commercial brothers , e extend [ o you the right hand of welcome. In your deliberations and conclusions may you con sider always" the greatest good to the great est number. "It you 'Shall consider any new measure that may go to our national congress , may It be so framed as to put a premium upon righteousness , honesty and Integrity , for by these principles we shall live and prosper. " Mr. Carpenter gave way to Mayor Benils , who reprssentecl the city of Omaha In his- welcoming remarks. The mayor said In sub stance : "For several years past the pleasant duly has devolved upon mo to extend a welcome to the different organizations that have met In Omaha , but this Is the first time that I have had an opportunity to welcome to Omaha , In behalf of Its citizens , a congress ? of delegates representing thirty-four out of the forty-five states ot the union. "I feel proud of these men. Some of them have represented their states In the national congress ; others'ought to bo there , and I presume some of them will be there In tbo future. I wish to say again on behalf of our citizens , I extend to you n heartfelt and cordial welcome to this midway city of the continent. Wo expect great things froiji this congress. One of the things which the people of Omaha and Nebraska want this congress to tell them Is , 'What Is tbo- matter with the country ? ' Have wo too many trusts ; Is the country too much under the dominion of the railroads , or what Is the trouble ? "Wo do not paint rainbows , but we look at things through the glasses ot truth and principle. We believe that there should bo more honesty In government , and that It should bo conducted "In the interests of us. the people. We bellevo that the bankers , the railroads and the plutocrats are all right In their places , but they should not run the government to tbo detriment of the masses. This congress may do a great deal of good , not only for Omaha and Nebraska and the states west ot the Mississippi , but for the whole United States , and for the world at largo. " The speaker here created a slight diver sion by relating his expeilenco with Anna. [ Cvii Fay , the spiritualist , In the same hall a few days previous. He had written on a iilcco of paper the question : "When will Dm aim bo herself again , " By some Inex- ilalnablc means the medium had read the question , although the mayor kept the paper concealed In his hand , and had answered : 'In about n year , when McKlnlcy la elected president. " , The mayor added that he believed In pro tection , but ho nl"M bclloved In free trade , In joodneiw , truth and principle. He proceeded to advance n few subjects which the people ) of Omaha would Illto to have explained. What was the matter with the union depot , or an air line from Omaha to the Quit of Mexico ? He suggested that It would he a good Idea for the congress to discuss the question of what was to be done with the- Union Pacific load , and whether It would not ho advisable for the government to ac- tulro control of all railroad and telegraph lues. In closing ho read an extract from il welcoming address to the people's party convention three years ago , In which he oak a vigorous stand In fuvur of frco llver , Jo explained that this was all three years * ago and might or might not bo pertinent at his time. aOVEUNOJl UpLCOMU'H SALUTATION , The greeting of the alula of Nebraska wus ireeented by Governor Holcomb , who as sured the congress that It was not only a ileasuie , but a pleasing duty for him to cave the routine of his olllclal duties to come to tliu metropolis and bid the cgnvcn- lon n hearty welcome. "Wo dec In this convention , " ho sad ] , "at n other conventions which have preceded It , irom'.se of great good to the people. Wo ; co here men and women who have helped to juild up the great west , who have teen what MS already been accomplished and who re alise Its future possibilities. We have heard of a congros ! * of farmers In Atlanta.
