( Copyright , 1SOC. by Prenn I'liMUlilnB Company. ] LONDON , Sept. 12. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) John Daly's long narrative of his twelve year's Impris onment In Chatham and Portland prisons Is a terrible one. The main point of It Is the proof It furnishes that Irish prison ers were greatly discriminated against In severity , and that wardens were prompted , lie Intimates , by their political superiors. The most Interesting point Is that pro testing against the Injustice of his convic tion. Ho declares ho Is now going to Ireland - land to ppcak against .the dynamite policy. Daly Is described as a man of education , ot iiulct , almost retiring , manner. He looks older by thirty years than his actual age. "Everything , " ho said , "seemed too con fusing , too dazzling , Just after I found my- Eolt released. Now all Is delightful , but I think I could pick out the first sensation and It was a peculiar one. It was the sensa tion of hearing women's voices with their Eoftncss , their melody , their music , after al ! these years of harsh voices ot tho. wardens.1 Daly was secretly visited In prison , evi dently with the collusion of officials , by the Infamous Plggot and another man , who en deavored to persuade him to Implicate Par- ncll In the Phoenix Park assaslnatlon. "I told him , " says Daly , "that the Fenians had nothing to do , as ho well knew , with the Phoenix Park outrages ; that charge was false and that It I were out In the world I would say so anywhere. As to Its being a Farncll job , I knew nothing about It and so could have no Idea. Plggot rather pressed mo to express Ideas suggested by him , as suring mo that ho wanted to servo me , but I had nothing to say to htm and he left. " DEATH IN LIFE "I don't know any language to describe the horrors of prison lifer You arc virtu ally In a tomb , cut oft from everything , the only human sound heard being orders and vords from wardens. Never a touch of kind ness , never a glimpse of humanity , apart from a rare visitor and an occasional let ter. The system Is simply Inhuman. Every warden will admit that , but they answer they have wives and children to keep , ami If they wcro not brutes their services would be dlnjienspd with. "When I went In I was In good spirits , be cause I knew I was there wrongly , that I had done nothing that should have brought mo there. I was not without courage , not without confidence as to the future , even In a prison , and I always had hope. Hope lives eternal In one , hope of return to the world ; but often I'm afraid wo Irish pris oners nt Portland said to ourselves : 'How long , O Lord , how long ? ' "The prlron system begins io tell on you gradually but surely , and after a tlmo has set its mark on you , both physically and mentally. Scanty diet , cruel treatment , ut ter desolation , all these gather round you , and you feel as If you wcro being enveloped by a shroud. I was sent practically at once to Chatham and there I did my nine months' solitary confinement , or 'probation , ' as It la called. It means that you arc never out of your cell during the twenty-four hours except for ten minutes while you are at tending worship and for three-quarters of nn hour which you are allowed for exer cise. During day I worked in my cell , tearIng - Ing oakum , a taik ? which"tho Irish prison ers wcro set at Instead of being given the Jess trying one of making bags. Picking oakum Is the most dreadful work one cau Imagine. It makes your fingers sore , If you are not an expert , and" the monotony Is perfectly maddening. The usual amount of oakum to bo picked In n day Is three and one-half pounds. My task was reduced tone no pound , as one of my fingers was use less , HUNGER THAT IS PERPETUAL. "You're always hungry. I certainly was hungry for years , until my appetite wore Rway for very want of anything to eat. The cocoa Is miserable staff ; the plumduff Is llko gutta perch.i and the rest of the food la ot the wor t kind. It supports llfo In the body and that Is all that can bo said for It. "For being found with a little piece of paper and pencil I did as much as thirteen days' solitary confinement on bread and , \vatcr , During that period all my extra clothing was removed and everything ex cept a wooden block on which the prisoner nits was taken from the cell. I got bread and water for simply saying in \\hlsper to a companion ; 'How are you1 The offi cers saw my lips move whllo trying to .whisper this communication. "How one pines in these dead houses to bo allowed to move the tongue to say the most Innocent word to any human being ! At 1'ortland the Irl h political prisoners were confined In penal cells , which were larger but colder than the ordinary cells. They were taken out to work In the quarries and got fresh air and saw something besldcc walls , I worked In the carpenters' shop and after a tlmo became , I believed , rather on expert carpenter. Of the Irish prisoners who remain at Portland Wilson , Burton and Flannagau are employed In the carpenter chop , Featherstono in tbo blackiuilth shop and Dal ton In the shoemaker shop , McDcr- niott , who ccme from Glasgow , alone is at the quarrler. There 1s a charge , of some Eurt against btm and that Is why ho was lent to the quarries. "Thcro are limps when wardens may relax a little and chat with ordinary prisoner * , but there were never such moments for the Irishmen , and even In the Infirmary the wardens had uot a word of sympathy. The- dare uot , if they would. TORTURED BY DISCIPLINE. "You are visited every 1'cur by a warden , > vho Is reii > oislblu for teeing you.

Thd unusual manner In which Emperor William feted and toastc < the czar when ho was In Germany , and the frigid tone of the czar's responses , have excited universal attention In this coun try , and has aroused in many quarters strong disapproval. Many of the new-spa pcrs point out that the sentiments ot the German people toward Russia are not those stated by the emperor In his speeches , am that the attentions and honors shown the czar are unprecedented and more effusive than were shown even toward Germany' * ally , Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. The most startling Instance was on Monday when Emperor William's telegram recalled the German fleet of fifty-four vessels fron the North sea maneuvers and dl reeled the ships to procec < forthwith to Kiel and parade before the czur. Besides , such a shower of all sorts of official decorations , as was granted b > the emperor to the Russian visitors , was heretofore unknown. These covered In their announcement almost a page of the Retch sanzelgcr. The newspapers take special ex ceptlon to Emperor William's speech , In which ho characterized the Russian army as the most powerful , and also complain of the fact that the czar replied to Emperor Wll Ham In Freach , when It Is well known that his Russian majesty sjieakB German fluently The Cologne Gazette , one of the mos widely circulated political organs , says : "Oi questions momentarily proceeding there Is accord ; but the ancient Russian antagonism to Germany remains and the. alliance with France remains. This la quite natural , for Russian alms and Interests are Inimical to the drelbund and irreconcilable. Unless Russia relinquishes the whole ot the tradi tional and popular oriental policy , it Is de sirable that Germany should not needlessly render Russia porter service for which she would receive no thanks and that she shouk not permit herself to bo kept , out of regard for Russia , from Joining Austria In forcing Turkey to treat Christians more justly The Vosslscho Zeltung expresses It self In the same tenor. So far as the czar's tour seems to have been fertile of misunderstandings , jealousies and reticence and has caused great dissatis faction. The newspapers of Vienna are still discussing whether the Russo-Germnn re union can bo considered a success or not. They think Emperor William humbled him self unnecessarily before the Russian auto crat , and some of them regard the visit of /the czar to Vienna and Berlin as for the purpose of putting an end to his isolation due to the Franco-Russian alliance. The nervous twitching of the face of the czar was noted both at Brcslau and Kiel and it Is said In court circles that it is due partly to a nervous affection which recently declared Itself and partly to a feeling of Insecurity created by the noticeable and ex traordinary precautions for his safety , which were taken by the government. Simultaneously with the fetes at Ilreslau comes the news of the beginning of the re taliatory tariff measures against Germany , But , whllo tboy are decidedly hostile , Rus sia's measures are within the wording.of the treaty stipulations , and are justified , as in the capo ot the German measures , by hygienic and similar reasons. German hops and horses are excluded , as are a number ot manufactured articles hither exclusively exported Into Rus sia from Germany , such os toys chemical and brass and copper plates which are now virtually barred out. In addition , Polish Russian harvesters , 80,000 of whom are annually employed In Germany on ac count of the low wages , will hereafter bo [ irohlbltcd from going across the frontier , and there are a number of other vexatious and expensive tariff regulations now en forced by Russia against German Imports everywhere on the frontier. Popular feel- lug In Russia sustains the new tarlft law. The absence of Emperor William from the feteo at Carlsruh in honor of the birthday of the grand duke ot Baden , September 0 , was severely felt there. The emperor In tended to confer the tltlo of king on his uncle , but tbo proposal was frustrated by the action of the Rumlcsrath , The fact that the gift by tbo empress of Japan of 1,000 yen to those who have suffered most through the loss ot tlio German war ship Itlls , nearly all hands being drowned , Is larger than the combined gifts of the ( emperor and empress of Germany has ex cited unpleasant comment.

( Copyright , USC , liy the Associated Press. ) LONDON , Sept. 12. The visit of the cza of Russia to England Is eagerly looked for ward to In many circles. When he las landed here , at the tlmo of the wedding o the duke and duchess of York , he seemci to bo a simple , unaffected boy , and cnjoycc himself thoroughly. He shot the chutes a Earl's Court and paddled with the little Battonbcrgs at Osborne , etc. nut now , the greatest preparations are being made for hi reception nt Balmoral. Additional horses carriages and attendants have been dls patched from the royal stables In London and during his majesty's stay In Scotlanc a four-horse landau with postillions and out riders will be especially assigned for hi use. It Is evident on all sides that Queen Victoria Is projecting unwonted , lavish hos pltnllty , and that the visit will have po lltlcal significance. The marquis of Sails bury and the first lord of the treasury , Mr A. J. Balfour , with the prlnco of Wale and other members of the royal family , wll bo guests at Balmoral during the Btay o their Russian majesties. Tha presence In London of Mr. Burr , the American expert In the Venezuelan case , am his colleague. Dr. Kaan , together with the expected arrival of Mr. Frederic Coudcrt one of the boundary commissioners ap pointed by the United States government has given fresh- Impetus to the Venezuelan question during the week. All Interviews between English and American hlgl diplomats on the subject show that both sides agree that matters are rapidly nearlng a settlement. Mr. Burr has been receiving extraordinary facilities from the English of flclals , and expects to return to The Hague In September. Ho said : "At The Hague wo are approaching the completion of our work The latter Is In no way political. I have completely shut , my eyes and ears to the British and Venezuelan pretensions. I have only to ascertain the facts , and It Is not my business to say what IB the tendency o these facts. " LI'S LAVISH GIFTS. LI Hung Chang's presents to Queen Vic torla have just been arranged In the bllllan room at Osborne. They arc valued at 5,00 < ( $25,000) ) . The emperor of China's gifts com prised an old , white porcelain vase adornci with red dragons , an antique bronze-goblet two antique bronze Incense burners , two an tlquo blue green porcelain plates , a magntft cent white Judo vase decorated with chrys anthemums and fir trees , and a rare yellow placquo decorated with flowers. The gifts of LI Hung Chang to her majesty are almost as valuable as those o the emperor. They Include exquisitely em broldered satins , an enameled bawl on a dragon stand , a massive blue and gold vase a red porcelain fish bowl of the Seventh ccn tury , a green porcelain flower vase and an enameled portrait of the fairy Ma Kov. The duchess of Fife is very busy salmon fishing and taking snap shots with her cam era. She Is a most expert fly fisher and has landed a dozen salmon , the largest weighing thirteen pounds , In a single afternoon. During the week the royal Victorian mcda has been bestowed on one of the queen's domestics for suppressing an outbreak of lire at Buckingham palace on the eve of the wedding of Princess Maud of Wales to Prince Charles of Denmark. In consequence thcro Is considerable disgust manifested among the aristocratic holders of royal Vic torian medals. RAIN SPOILS SPOIIT. The weather during the past week In all parts of the United Kingdom has been mis'- crablo and has greatly Interfered with the pleasures of partridge shooting ! with racing , end In fact with all kinds of sport , There was a great gathering ! however , at the Don- caster races. At nearly all the places In the vicinity there were large house parties. The prince of Wales was a guest of the carl of Crewo at Fryston hall , and the earl of Earncliffe entertained the duke of Cambridge and a party at Woodley hall. The Wilsons hsd a large ra'ty ct Tranby Croft. The hosts took their guests by special trains dally to Doncaster. As the. prlnco of Wales had not visited Doncaster since .the famous Tranby- croft scandal , his win of the St. Lcger stakes with Persimmon , whllo almost a fore gone conclusion , was very popular , Mr. Richard Croker and his friends had a very bad day on Thursday. They Intended to make a coup , and In consequence Amerl- cus was heavily backed to win tlio Portland plate , but the American colt , late Rcy Del Carcdes , came in second. Foot ball has succeeded cricket as the popular sport of the season , and It arouses almost as much Interest. The Qaudaur-stantmry race hardly caused the sensation predicted , so far as general Interest is concerned. Much comment was passed when , after the race , Gaudaur went : o everybody on hoard the umpire's boat , cap In hand , collecting money as any mount ebank might Imvo done after having gone : hrough a performance.

( Copyright , 1M6 , by the Associated Prcs. ) LONDON , Sept. 12. The dominant note o the moment Is that the time to take action In regard to Turkey has arrived and the deposition ot the sultan Is openly talked ol In quarters where heretofore the slightest Infraction ot Turkish authority has been viewed with disfavor. Everywhere on the continent , In Great Britain and In Constant ! , nople. It Is thought a plan Is being discussed to supersede the sultan and there Is no doubt but Great Britain will bo the leading spirit In the new movement. She Is even prepared to act alone if the powers are too slow In cooperating with her. Apart from the violent agitation against the action , or Inaction , of the sultan , the protest from nil classes In Great Britain , resulting In the summoning of mass meetings in all parts of the country , there arc other Indications that both the queen and the marquis of Sal isbury approve of the aggressive attitude of Mr. Herbert , British charge d'affalrs at Con stantinople , upon the occasion of the recent carnage at the Turkish capital. Probably the best Indication that the British government has got the bit in its teeth Is found in the outspoken editorials of the London press , evidently inspired from high quarters , demanding a change In the occupancy of the throne of the Turkish em pire. The consensus of opinion seems to bo that the method of change should be left to the Turks themselves , as there Is no doubt that the working chiefs of the array , gov ernment officials and the chuich , If once con vinced that Europe Insists upon It , can su- pcrscdo the sultan If they please , and they know from experience exactly how to do It. The Spectator points out that the Turks of the better class have strong reasons for de posing Abdul Hamld , whose rule lias be"en marked by the loss o ! much territory , crip pled finances and oppressive taxation. In" any case definite pctlon upon the part of the powers Is expected at any moment. In the meanwhile the ships of the nations most Interested are moving toward Constan tinople. The British licet In the Mediter ranean has been reinforced by a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers commissioned last month to the service In the Mediterranean. They are under the convoy ot the cruisers Blenheim and Charybdls , have passed Gib raltar and will soon join the British fleet , which Is now anchored In Kavala bay , Sa- lonlca , within easy steaming instance of the Dardanelles. The fleet at Kavala bay has already been added to and It has also been decided to prepare the home torpedo boat destroyer flotilla for active service. The officers have already been appointed to com mand thceo vessels. CONSTANTINOPLE , Sept. 11. ( via Sofia , Bulgaria , Sept. 12. ) A feeling of the greatest anxiety prevails In all circles here. There Is no doubt that a crisis of extreme gravity has been reached and that the powers ore discussing the deposition of the sultan , that being apparently the only means of restoring quiet and confidence within the Turkish empire. A British fleet of about fifteen war ships is off the Island of Tliasos and within easy striking distance should an emergency arise , and it Is believed that Great Britain will not hesitate to act alone In the matter of putting an end to the present disgraceful state of affairs If the other powers delay action too long. . As almost generally expected , the extra ordinary tribunal which has been trying the men accused of massacring Armenians In the streets of this city and Its suburbs has turned out to be nothing more than a whitewashing court. The men uho were arrested for brutally killing two Armenians bcforo the guardhouse of the British em bassy nnd In full view of several British officials have been acquitted. An there Is no doubt ot their guilt , their acquittal here Is regarded as showing that It Is useless to expect that Mussulmans will be punished for crimes committed against Armenians. This has aroused the greatest indignation among the foreign population hero , and has eervcd to greatly Increase the feeling of un easiness which prevails on all sides. The Europeans feel that the action of the ex traordinary tribunal in acquitting the mur derers whoae guilt was so fully proven shows that the peaceable residents of Con stantinople are absolutely without any guar anty that their lives or property nro safe and they must henceforth depend almost en tirely upon the war ships of the powers for protection. Such a condition , It is ad mitted , cannot last for any length of time , as business Is at a standstill to all Intents and purposes , and the Impoverished condi tion of the Turkish treasury Is adding dally to tbo discontent prevailing , not only In the army and navy , but In Turkish official circles generally , DISCRIMINATE IN PAY. Many more officers have boon arrested for claiming tbelr pay nnd for resigning their commissions when Informed that there was no money for them. If this ) s the sltun- lon among tbo officers , It may be Judged hat the common soldiery are feeling still more Irritated. Hut there Is plenty of money and provisions for the strong bodyguard of ho sultan and for the troops which con stantly surround the palace , and It Is be loved that tbls display of force alone saves ho sultan from witnessing a demonstration vljlch would surely open bis eyes to tbo disgraceful state of affairs existing. The full text of the note which the repre sentative * of the powers sent to the sultan on August 31 bas only Just been communi cated to ( he press.

The note of the powers then , under seven specific clauses , gives evidence In support of the charges and concludes with a de mand that tlio Instigators and principal actors In the tragedies bo punished with the utmost rigor. Therefore , It will bo seen the acquittal of the men who deliberately murdered t\vo Armenians In front of tne guard house of the British embassy Is alt the more sig nificant and must call for further action upon the part of the powers. The Turkish government yesterday an swered the note of the powers In n long communication. The ministry Is trying to rcfuto the charges made , practically denied the ocular testimony ot Ihc representatives of the powers , and this Is now , with good reason , regarded as tantamount to a defiance of Europe. As usual , the porto is relying upon the jealousies existing among the six powers to save the sultan once more at the last mo ment from being brought to terms , and us Abdul Hamld has so frequently escaped pun ishment during the course of his long and much troubled reign , It has grounds for be lieving that even now Europe will not step In and put an end to the disgraceful condi tions prevailing In the Turkish cmpjro. UNREST IN ARMENIA. News from Armenia shows tnot a very serious condition prevails there and that , further massacres arc anticipated. It Is true that tbe sultan has caused nil the governors to bo uottfled that they will be held responsible If outbreaks Involving de struction of property and the loss of llfo occur. But such warnings have frequently been Issued in the past and they seemed to have served more to create disorder than to suppress it , and thin would seem to bo the case In the present instance , for while warning the governors , as already stated , the soldiers have been notified that they are authorized to use their arms in self-defense If they were attacked. Thus the Armenians and others look upon these orders of the Turkish gov ernment as little less than A notification to the provincial authorities that they are to take the most rigorous measures In suppres sing the Armenians If the latter take part In any "demonstrations , " and those who know the Turks ar well aware that the latter can provoke such demonstrations at the shortest possible notice. They have fre quently done BO in the past , and are not unlikely to do so again In tbe near future. The representatives of the powers met again today and discussed the situation , but It Is not known that they came to any de cision , although communications with their respective governments nro being constantly exchanged. The Inaction of the embassies continues to be sharply criticised hero and radical measures are demanded In order to prevent a renewal of the dlsorc'en. L'nli'iis tueti steps are taken It Is believed It will not belong long before there Is an outbreak here , and It may bo of a much more serious nature than those which have preceded It , In spite of the fact that the streets of the sultan's capital are hardly dry from the blood of the thousands of unfortunate people who wcro victims of the massacre of about two weeks apo.

SILVER SENTIMENT NOT WIDESPREAD Senator is Going West for BccrontSon and Not to Talk Politics. QUESTIONED ABOUT TREASURY SILVER Denies that Government Bonds Can Bo Paid in White Metal , REVENUE TOO SMALL FOR EXPENSES il 1-Miiniieler Siiy Uonlil Xot Properly linn < | ie Coun try wllh Present Tn PlIT IIIMVH niul Without ItorrinvIiiK. Senator John Sherman while In the city yesterday accorded nn Interview to The Bee. Speaking of the political situation In hl own state , the Ohio statesman said : " 1 have just comu from Ohio. I niado arranqcmentH sonio time ago with General Nelson Miles to go with him on his pil grimage over the military posts. I am going for leisure and recreation. I have not the slightest douht but what the republicans will succeed In Ohio. I think McKlnley'a majority will bo probably not so phenomenal as It was oi.co before , but ho will get a ma jority certainly of 50,000 to 100,000. Some bcntlmcnt has been worked up among laborIng - Ing men In Ohio In favor of silver , but I don't think It will malic any great Impres sion. And besides , there nro more demo crats who will como to us than republican * \\lio will go to the opposition. "You ask If most of the laboring people * In Ohio arc not employed In factories , or In employments that have been classed. mor or less as protected Industries ? I answer yes , undoubtedly. Tbero was a great dis appointment In Ohio In regard to the Wilson tariff. The present tarlit Is exceedingly ob noxious , especially to farmers and particu larly on wool. There Is a strong demand to have the tariff revised , so that I think that ISMIO will help us. And I don't see an/ signs of breaking nway from the republican party on the money question. "As to the wool tariff , there has been a very radical reduction as I understand It. Wool was made absolutely free Instead of 10 or 12 cents a pound , It was in ado free , and the result has been that one-third , or perhaps more than one-third of the value of sheep In the United States was destroyed ; , and Ohio , being a great sheep state , felt It most keenly. "Yes , I know that Bryan was very active In the abolition of the wool tariff. That Is perfectly understood. 1 do not think that Bryan Is going to sot niijconsiderable" \6td from the republican farmers Iti Ohio , and thcro was a very strong feeling against Ilia nomination among the democrats , " Asked whether then young Allen W. Thur- inan wing of the democrats wcro not In n largo majority In Ohio , Senator Sherman answered : "It probably is , but after all , It Is not a commanding force. Undoubtedly a great majority of the democrats will vote for Bryan , because they are democrats and don't want anything else. NO SILVKIl IN OHIO. "The silver Influence Is largely guided In Ohio by men directly Interested In silver mines. Hut that does not malco much dif ference , you know , with the mass of the people. They are not Interested In mines or mining. I do not think the Investment In silver mining la very prominent In Ohio. Wo have coal mines and Iron mines In which our people are deeply Interested , but silver and gold that Is beyond our reach. Tlio production of Iron on Lake Superior and Its meeting with coal on Lake Erie makes it very profitable for the production of Iron in every form , Wo have some great estab lishments In Ohio now- such as used to bo In Pennsylvania. Wo now have In Ohio some of tho'largest iron establishments In the world. " "How does it oomo that John L. McLean has been so active on the silver sldo ? " "McLean has always been for cheap money , as they call It , whatever It may be. Ho is a sliver man an original silver man , you might say. " "Can you tell , senator , what proportion of the silver that is now In the Treasury- speaking of the coined sliver la at the dis it posal of the government to pay bonda with ? Mr. Ilryan , you know. In his letter of ac ceptance , says that there was no necessity whatever of issuing bonds to main tain the credit of the govern ment , or , rather , to parry on the govern ment and pay cm rent expenses ; that the Treasury had the pilvllcgo of using silver to pay If It did not have gold. " ABSOLUTELY UNTKUB. "Now , that Is absolutely untrue , bocausa the sliver Is represented by sliver certificates outstanding and that silver Is kept there for Its redemption , and as a matter of course that would be wildcat business If w wcro to take the silver that Is now pledged for certificates. Wo have issued silver cur * rcncy certificates that there Is in the Treasury so many silver dollars , and certi fying that the certificates represent silver dollars. Wo cannot Issue the silver certi ficates and then UBO the silver that la pledged to redeem them , That would lie & plain violation of the law , The government could not have paid any of Us obligatlonn with the coined silver now on deposit with out violating the terms of ( ho law , " "And thercforo the Idea that wo could have carried on the government without borrowing and without changing the lawn relating to revenue Is entirely fictitious ! " "Yes , and especially as we have pledged this silver for the redemption of silver cer ' tificates. " "Ilryan's letter of acceptance lays great stress on the point that ho could run thin government without changing Its revenue law and without borrowing any money. Could that be done ? " "I suppose that ho would keep the silver certificates outstanding and use the silver dollars , too. That Is wildcat banking. The trouble now Is that the revenues are Insuffi cient to pay the expenses of the govcrn- Inent and wo therefore use the gold that hau been collected and held In the treasury ; for the redemption of United States notcn , and then to make good that vacuum wo cell bonds to restore the gold. 80 we ura running In debt every year.
