WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The French
embassador has withdrawn from Con
otautlncplu because thu sultau han at
tempted further delay of the settlement
which the ambassador, M, Constaus, urged.
In olllcl.il circles hero this announce
ment, received today, Is feared to por
tend tho dissolution of the concert of Eu
ropean powers tinder which tho Integrity
of Turkey was guaranteed. By the treaty
of Berlin all the grout powers of Kurope
subscribed to an agreement to rcfruln from
any net that would tend to tho destruc
tion of tho Ottoman empire. This action
whs taken to forcstnll what were conceived
to be tho designs of Russia to seize on
Turkish territory and Russia Itself was led
to subscribe to tho agreement by force of
clrcumstauccH. Although several times
severely strained, notably by such events
us tho last war between Turkey and
Greece, this pact haB so for endured with
out amendment, but It Is apprehended now
that If the uctlnn of France Is carried out
to tho extreme condition each of tho othor
signatory powers will feel obliged In self
protection to disregard tho agreement nnd
presB upon Turkey tho vast financial nnd
other claims that hnvo accumulated In the
rust aunrter of ft century, with n result of
disrupting tho present Turkish govern
ment. Aniiomiiicemc n t Mnile lit Pari.
l'AIUS, Aug. 27. A seml-omclal nolo has
been laaueil, announcing that the pcrtc, not
having curried out Its undertakings with
regard to thu disputed questions botweon

Constant,, the French am'bajsndor, acting
tinder Instructions from tho foreign minister
of France, loft Constantinople August 20,
tho dntu numcd In tils Init communication to
ths porto on tho subject.
An urrungement had been effected August
17, nnd Its terms dratted by the Ottoman
foreign minister, with tho approval of tho
sultan, who hnd promised M. Constaus that
tho text should be handed to him August 18.
M. Constnns telegraphed to Paris August
19 that none of tho promises hail been ful
filled, and M. Delcnsije, minister of foreign
affairs, Aith'iist 28 telegraphed M. Constans
that, lu view of bo llaxrnnt a disregard
of tho understanding, tho negotiations
could no longer bo continued, nud asked M.
ConstntiH to inform tho porto that ho hnd
received orders to leave Constantinople.
On August 23, M. Constans communicated
vlth tho porto, fixing August 20 as tho date
for his departure, uud as tho engagements
wcro stilt unkept. M. Conttans left Con
stantinople August 26.
With tho depnrturo of M. Constans the
relatione between Franco nnd Turkey mny
bo rcgnrded as broken off. Munlr Bey, tho
Turkish ambassador to Franco, has been
telegraphed not to return to Paris.
.HiilttMi Wnl.eM Dp Too l.nlc.
Tho correspondent of tho Associated
Press was Informed today from tho best
sourco that tho depnrturo of M. Constuns
from Constantinople, In tho circumstances,
Is tantamount to a partial rupture of
Kronen-Turkish relations. Munlr Hey, who
Is In Switzerland, will bo Informed, ns sot
forth In tho seml-olllclal noto Issued this
morning, that tho French government docs
not desire him to roturn to Paris. Tho cur
rent affairs of tho two embassies can bo
carried on by thu chnrgo d'affaires, but all
negotiations of n political nature' will bo
entlroly suspended unill the sultan yields
to tho French demands. Tho French gov
ernment holds that thu sultan has broken
his word. Ho had promised full payment
of the long-standing Indemnities to the
Frenchmen, amounting to 12,000,000 francs,
but at the end of Inst week declined to pny
tho full amount nnd offered a reduced sum,
which was refused hy M. Constnns, who
waited until yesterday and then departed.
Tho sultan mado n final attempt to Induce
him to stay, M. Constnns had left on board
thu Vnutour for Stnmboul, where ho was
to tnko 'tho Orient express. A court cham
berlain arrived at Stamboul In post haste
from tho sultan, begging M. Constnns to
roturn to Therapla and piomlslng that
everything would bo satisfactorily settled.
M. Constans declined to return, declaring
tho time for promises was pabt and that It
was for tho sultan to fulfill his under
takings. It I the Nultnn Next Move.
Tho French governmeat will take no fur
ther stops In tho matter, but will wait for
tho sultan to move. It Is thought tho sul
tan will not allow tho present situation to
last very lung.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 27 Tho fol
lowing was tho position of affairs Immedl
ntcly preceding tho doparturo of tho French
nmlmssador, M Constans: Tho Turkish
government was showing n disposition to
regard the French demands as settled by tho
lrndo relating to tin) quas nnd tho Al
banlnn land seizures. The Fronch embnssy,
lu order to prevent a misunderstanding,
wrote to Towflk Pasha, the minister of for
clgn nftnlro, yesterday, that France, In ad
dition, expected tho settlement of two other
claims Included In tho demands mads Au
gust 11 and that unless they were conceded
before) noon M. Constans would leave and
Munlr Hoy, tho Turkish ambassador to
France, would receive his passports. In
ctcad of yielding tho Turkish government
asked for twenty-four hours' delay and

so unacceptable that M, Constaus did not

upon Watson appeared upon tbo scene and
when called upon to take tho Initiative
calmly advised the mob to permit tho law

UNITED STATES GAME LAWS
.VelirnxUn'M fton-Kxport Tux nnd Li
cense System Attrnets Nntlonnl
Attention.
WASHINGTON. Aug. '27. The Agricul
tural department Is preparing to lssuo a
publication giving a digest of tho game
laws of the country. Especial attention is
given to state laws for 'game protection
enacted in 1001. Outlining the general
scope of this lcglntatlonthciviirthors of the
LU . , t, m . . . , t 1 1 '
puuucawuu, inenirp, o. 'tjfua;r uuu tv.
H. Olds, say:
Tho opening year of tho new century
has witnessed au unprecedented Interest In
gamo protection. Nearly four-fifths of the
states and 'territories hnve enacted some
amendments to their gamo laws. Theso
amendments vary from a slight chango In
tho Delawaro law regarding closed seasons
to tho adoption of n general gamo law or
codo In Arizona, California, Connecticut,
Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, No
vada, Now Hampsblro and Now Jersey.
Changes In dates for opening or clos'ng
tho seasons havo been most common, but
restrictions on methods of capture, on sale,
shipment nnd stornga nlso havo been
numerous. Tho laws hnvo becomo more
complex, but there has boen a strong
tendency toward oxtcndlng protection to
moro kinds of game, shortening tho season"".
limiting bags and throwing greater restrlc
Hons about the trndo In gemo.
Nebraska and Missouri, which suffered
sevcroly last season, havo Joined tho ma
Jorlty of tho states In adopting stringent
non-export tax, leaving less than half a
dozen without protection of this kind.
Itext rlctlnn hy License.
Indiana, Montana, Pennsylvania and
Washington and Nebraska, have restricted
hunting by requiring licenses of nonresi
dent hunters a favorlto expedient, partlc
ularly In tho middle west for providing n
gnine protection fund. South Dakota and
Wisconsin requlro residents as well as non
residents to obtain licenses, and Oregon now
licenses nonresident market hunters.'
In nil tho northern stntcs, from the
Allcghenlcs to the Pacific, excepting Ohio,
Idaho and Oregon, nonresident hunters must
now secure licenses at a cost of $10 to $10,
It ts stated that a hopeful sign of tho
times Is tho general recognition of the prln
clplo that game preservation Is a national
qucsttou. Organized effort has accomplished
moro this year than ever before. Tho
Amorlcan Ornithologists' union, Interested
especially In tho preservation of nongamo
birds, has secured the enactment of a prac
tlcally uniform law In eight states nnd tho
District of Colurabln and Incidentally the
adoption of a uniform definition of game
birds.
The League of American Sportsmen has
Elven attention especlnlly to securing not
ter protection for big gamo nnd wild tur
keys nnd Its efforts hnvo contributed tn the
passaga of a close season of from three to
ten years for untelopo In six stutes, for
elk In five states and for mountain sheep
nnd wild turkeys In two states. It bus
supported tho prlnclplo advocated hy B3V-
crul leading sportsmen's Journals that pro
tectlon can best bo secured by restricting
tho sale of gamo and limiting the amount
of a day's or season's bag.
Tho Influcnco thus exerted, combined
with the aid of various other gamo organ
izations, was largely Instrumental In se
curing tho passago of tho laws embodying
these features.
Tho sale of all kinds of game has been
prohibited by some states and that of ccr
tain species by others. As a result of
efforts in this direction three kinds of
game antelope, elk and pralrlo chickens
have practically boon romoved from th
market, except In states whero their kill
ing Is still permitted.

STATEMENT FROM SAVAGE

BASED ON FULL PAYMENT TO STATE
Governor Nnyn Kitcntloii of Further
Clemeney Depeniln Solely I pon
Compllaiiee vrlth Ite
qtilrrinciita. (From n Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nob., Aug. 27. (Special Tele-
grnm.) As moro or less controversy has
resulted from my action In granting a llm
Red parole to Joseph S. Hartley, and as I
deslro that tho public may havo an lntelll
gent understanding of tho attending ulr-
cumstnnccs, I will state briefly the sub
stanco of tho conditions upon which such
action Is based.
I was actuated In granting a pnrole, llm
Ited to sixty days, because I had knowledge
that after Mr. Hartley's retirement from
ofilco ho malntnlued that If given a year's
time In which to realize on his arrange
ments he would bo able to pay tho state
every dollar duo It. Tho fact that In a
space of nbout forty days after ho sur
rendered tho office to his successor he had
paid In over $150,000, of which $20,000 was
paid on tho day of his arrest, strengthened
both by his statements, repeatedly mado
to me, that ho would pay back every dollar
of his shortage, uud by my belief that If
given an opportunity nt this time ho would
undortnko to curry out bis promises, with
thu object In view of relieving tho taxpay
ers and of removing this painful account
from tho pages of tho records after four
years of cxpenslvo litigation, from which
not one cent has been recovered from either
tho principal or bondsmen, I grunted tho
parole with tho understanding on my part
that ho. Hartley, was to proceed to rolm
burse tho statu and In addition was to ren
der nn accounting of tho funds lost In
banks from which he was unable to recover,
which materially reduces the amount pub
lished by tho newspapers as having been
misappropriated.
Hundreds of people of various political
affiliations had petitioned me to grant, not
a parole, but n full nnd unconditional par
don, nnd among the petitioners were many
of our oldest nnd most respected citizens,
but I was 'unablo to Justify in my own
mind such au net and, grunted n parolo for
sixty days only, conditioned ns nbovo
stated.
I havo given Mr. Hartley nn opportunity
to right tho wrong nnd my nctlon as re
gards tho extension of further clemency
In tho premises shall be conditioned solely
upon his compliance with my requirements
as herein set forth.
EZRA P. 8AVAGE, Governor.
Ponslble i:rteet nn Convention.
ThlB public statement was given by Gov
ernor Savage at midnight tonight. It Is
known that tho governor has been contem
plating such a statement for sovcrnl days,
but had been dissuaded from Issuing It
by tho pleadings of Bartley and his frlonds.
Tho statement is undoubtedly mado at this
tlmo In rcsponso to the demand for moro
definite Information as to tbn conditions

BARTLEY PAROLE GETS ATTENTION
Governor !nvne' Action Mkcly to
He the Occasion of Wnrm Dehnte
When the Body Oetn Down
to llualime.
(From n Staff Correspondent,)
LINCOLN. Aug. 27. (Special TolcKranO
All Is lu readiness for tho republican stato
convention which Is to meot hero tomorrow
afternoon and it Is yet anybody's raco. Tho
advance guard of delegates and candidates
which came In yesterday waa reinforced
today In goodly numbers nnd tho hotel lob
bies nnd hendqunrters oro tonight fillod
with a crowd of onthuslastlo partisans.
Ab botween the different cnndldntes. com
paratively llttlo headway has been mado
beyond lining up thu delegations Into tho
various camps, In which thoy will bo tuar-
shulled. Judge Koyaor's steering commlt
tco lias been In evidence all doy and ro
ports substantial progress. Each Koysor
man Is ldcnttll-d by u hndco bearing tho
Judge's name on n red ribbon worn on tho
cont lapol. Tho supporters of Sedgwick
and Davldcon oro also active, each claiming
tno chief placo for tholr choice. Somo of
tho opponents of Judgo Koysor hnvo been
stimulating tho circulation of tho charges
mado ngalnst him by tho Walters' union of
Omaha, and promise to have n bunch of
circulars ou hand tomorrow, containing tho
resolutions they had adopted, but they aro
plnluly overdoing their tnsk und this bush
whacking Is reacting against them.
Kntlmiitf of Preliminary Strength.
Whllo everything Is moro or less cucsa
work ono of tho most experienced nolltl-
clans on tho ground, who has kopt pretty
close track of tho situation, hus mado the
following estimate of probable ntrcngth of
tho different candidates on tho first ballot:
Sedgwick SCOKoynor :ss
Davidson lSO.Calklim i:,o
llnniLH 145 Dickinson ill
Urlmo 31 Dcatterlnir 30
Total 1,331
Necessary to cholco C52.
With thle basis It Is readily seen that
several ballots will be needed to ellmlnato
the weak men and ovorythlug will depend
upon second choice and tho combinations
tho candidates may effect. Combinations,
moreover, nro difficult to niako bocnuso the
convention has only two othor places to fill,
namely, the two university regents and for
these places thoro aro only two candidates
under consideration, H. L. Gould of Ogaliillo,
wno is Just completing his first term, and
C. J. Ernst of Lincoln, who aspires to suc
ceed Charles H. Morrill, who has served
two terms.
Hartley Pnrole Delinteit.
Tho pilnclpal topic of conversation among
both delegates and lenders Is tho Uatt.ey
parole, and iicntlment Is strong nnd grow
ing stronger in favor of an outspoken
doclaratlon by tho convention, disclaiming
responsibility for ,tho party. Bartley and
his paid lawyers havo managed to Inject a
number of his friends into tho delegations,
most notably that of Lancaster count. His
chief nttorney, O. O. Whedon, has had tlo
hardihood to assert that ho would carry a
resolution endorsing tho liberation of
Bartley and calling for an unconditional
pardon, Whedon has been busy trjlng to
lino up tho Lancaster delegation to deslgnato
him to go ou tho resolutions commit t'c, of
which ho wnnts to bo chairman, to protect
tho Interests of his client. Tho othor
cmmlBsnrlc3 of Bartley, howovcr, have betn
bending their eucrgtcs to prevnt any ex
pression whatever by the convention on the
Bubjcct of the parole. Thoy want to keep
It dark and smother any resolutions that
may bo presented.
Republican I.enKiic Meeting;.
In the meet of the State Lenguo of Ra-
publican clubs this nfternoon thoy suc
ceeded In heading off nil mention cf tbJ
matter In the resolutions adopted, althuugh
a ocnrchlng declaration wns hnndtd In to Iho
resolutions committee by C. C. Htull of
Holt county. The committee was of tho
opinion that tho league had no business to
mix up In the controversy ami Mr, Stull -ic-
copted tho finding, promising to rcnow his
effort In tomorrow's convention.
Half a dozen other delegates from as
many different counties hnvo resolutions in
their pockets which thoy propose to shower
upon tho convention, nnd It Is plain that
the kccp-lt-dark proposition will find llttlo
comfort If It Is put forward.
State Committer Pinna,
The usual meeting of the state committee
that precedes tho state convention has been
dispensed with, as all tho preliminaries
wero arranged at tho Juno meeting. No
plan has been ngrced on for premanent or
ganization. Some of the friends of Judgo
Norval havo suggested that It would ho
fitting to mako him permanent chairman lu
view of his voluntary retirement from the
bench, but as Sowurd county has in
structed for Sedgwick It Is likely that tho
temporary organization will find favor with
tho other candidates.
Tho Republican league favored Omaha
with Its secretaryship, hut the truth Is that
tho leaguo has petered out, und In nil prob
abilities unless something happens to rovtvo
It, tho prcsont officers will bo tho last ones
It will boast.
I.enilerx of Pnrty Present.
It Is noteworthy that almost all tho well
known facos In republican politics are again
to bo seen horc. Ono momber of tho legis
lature suggested that It it call were Issued
for a republican legislative caucus there
will bo no difficulty In having moro than a
majority present to mako a quorum. When
tho coramltteo fixed tho apportionment for a
convention of more than 1,300 delegates ths
apprehension wns felt that a large part of
the hall would bo given up to empty
chulrij, but from present prospects It U
practically assured that almost the full
membership will bo present. Tho most en
couraging feature Is tho outspoken sontl
menl that the convention (hall adopt n
platform that calls a spado u rp-tdo, ou
which the candidates can go beforo tho
litople with an effcctlvo appeal for popular
support,
