TURKISH COUNCIL HAS LONG ME J pelay Was Caused by Palace Func tionaries, Who Combat Foreign Rights to Wla Sultan's Faror. tONSTANTIN'OFLE, Aug. 14 After pro longed haggling on the part of tha Turks a satisfactory solution of the American school question has born arrived at. Thin matter, which la tha most Important of tha American demands, was aettled by ex tending; to American schools tha same treat ment as that accorded to schools under the protection of other powers. A settlement of other matters affecting American Interests in .Turkey, of secondary Importance, has also been effected, and Minister Welshman had telegraphed to Rear Admiral Jewel, In command of tho United Slates squadron sent to Smyrna, Instruct ing him to salute the batteries on land and depart. Tho sitting of the council of ministers at which the settlement -was agreed upon, was a long one and It was not until near Its close that on agreement was reached. The delay in the settlement Is believed to have been caused by the intervention of the palace functionaries; whose policy Jn order to retain the sultan's favor con sists of combating tie rights and advant ages of foreign subjects. The United States vessels now at Smyrna Under command of Rear Admiral Jewell are the Cleveland, the Olympla and the Baltimore. They will leave Smyrna to morrow and will sail for Gibraltar. The ships comprise what Is known as the Amer ican European squadron and will continue their cruise In European waters for. some time. History of Tarklsh Troable. The Associated Press has received from a prominent official of the Department of State the following statement of the pend ing questions with Turkey and the steps taken tuwards their adjustment: For many years ths treatment of edu cational establishments in the Ottoman empire founded and conducted by Ameri can citlscns has been very unsatisfactory. While similar schools under the direction of other foreigners have been recognized as existing, and have been accorded the regular license or Imperial firmanu upon application thereof, applications on both ft the schools under American control have passed unnoticed. - - ' . The earnest efforts of the American min ister at Constantinople to secure for our Schools and teachers the simple equality I treatment to which they are entitled having met with evasive and dilatory treat ment by the sublime porte, and no pro gress having been made toward a better Understanding, the president took the mat ter in hand and on February 2, 1903, cabled to Minister Leishman directing him to ask an audience with the sultan, , Lrlaihiuan Meets Evasion. Mr. Irishman's request for an audience was mot with much evasion and delay. Two months passed, in the course of which one of the grounds of complaint was re moved by the issuance of an trade for the examination of the students at the medical school at Belroot. It was not until April t that Mr. Leishman was enabled to de liver the president's message in personal audience of the sultan. His majesty was pleased to promise Immediate considera tion to the requests therein conveyed. No progress whatever was made during the next four months toward the settlement of the questions at issue. Mr. Irishman's endeavor to advance a settlement of the general questions at Issue were unavallliig. As the interests involved were not personal but national, the pro crastinations of the Ottoman government were an aspect little. short of an interna tional indignity to the American nation. It became an Imperative duty to, bring this phase of the matter to a speedy close and peremptory orders were orders to Minister Leishman to demand an audience of the Sultan and ask for a response to the presi dent's message of February 2, 1003. The audience was at last accorded on July 2, 1. his majesty promised Immedi ate consideration of the subject and tlxed Tuesday, August 2, as the tlmo when a definite reply would be given to Mr. Leish man by his majesty. The date then fixed was postponed to Thursday, but on Thurs day Mr. Leishman telegraphed that the 'promised reply had not been received. Thereupon the president directed that the Mediterranean squadron, then at Vllle tranche, near Nice, should, proceed to fimyrua in order that, if the aulian's re ply should still bo withheld, or be given llnd prove unfavorable, the minister might be received on board with the courtesy due to his high office and conveyed to some convenient place. The main object was to obtain from the sultan a positive privilege of the most Jfwvored treatment for our schools in Tur l.ey, having thus been accompllhod. the presence of the fleet Is no longer neces lury und orders have been given for its withdrawal.

Thibetan officials, hav. Ing been warned that If supplies were not forthcoming the British would be obliged to -seize them, replied that they were un able to compel the peasants to sell their grain. One thousand troops with four guns marched today to the Dalpung monastery, a mile distant, containing 7.W0 monks and probably the largest monastery In the world A small party was sent ahead with a letter asking the abbot for supplies and offering to pay liberally for them, but notifying the abbot that If the supplies were refused they would be taken by force. Crowds of monks collected at the en trance to the monastery. They declined to take the letter and threw stones at the party which then left the letter in a prom inent place and returned to the main body. The monks then took the letter and sent a deputation with n white flag. This depu tation, seeing the troops deployed -and tho runs ready, promised to bring all supplies I possible. After some hours' delay tha monks produced 1W maunds of barley and flour. (A maund Is a weight of about eighty pounds.) With these the British had to be content. SOCIALISTS MEET IN AMSTERDAM Vice President Katayama Says Japan Expects a Revolution. AMSTERDAM, Aug. H.-The . Interna tional socialist and trades union congress opened here today. There was great ap plause when Vice Presidents Katayama of Japan and PlekharofT of Russia publicly shook hands. Vice President Katayama, speaking In English, said: "I am glad to find a delegate here 'from Russia with which country our country is waging one of the most disastrous wars that has ever done violence to the frater nity of nations. Japanese socialists ever since 1896. have expected a socialist revolu tion in Japan." Vice President Plekharolt, replying, said that the Russian people did not desire war, but the government, which was the enemy of the people", provoked Japan by Its adventurous policy. Continual disasters were now Russia's Just reward. Kven if Russia should be victorious, M. Flekharoff said, the Russian people would be the victims, but Japan was removing one of the feet of the colossus of despotism. The congress unanimously adopted the fol lowing resolution, proposed by a French delegate: At this moment, when czarlsm Is stricken by war, the socialists here greet the Russian and Japanese proletariat, sacrificed and massacred by capitalism and govern ments, and rely upon socialists everywhere to oppose by all means In their power the extension or continuation of the war.

CHANCES AT HOME Deal Between Tammany and Odell la Talked of as Part of Effort to Drive McCarrea from Got ha in. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. (Special.) "This talk about New Ycrk being a dem oeratio state in the coming election," sa-.d a well known Washington correspondent of a New York paper with democratic lean ings, "Is all In your eye. The wish is father to the thought. I have Just come from New York oity and after two weeks spent amongst the democratic leaders at the Hoff man House I want to tell you that the democrats have no cinch on New York. The feud between Boss Murphy, of Tarn many, and Pat McCarren, of Brooklyn, is going to grow in Intensity rather than die out as the campaign goes on. Charles F. Murphy, the grand sachem of Tammany, is fighting for his life and he does not pro pose to see his power usurped by dnother, Strange as It may seem the fight between these two factions of New York democracy Is a fight between kings and queens, for they are the men of the counties now em braced In greater New York. "I want to say," continued the democratic newspaper man, "that Murphy oon-t care a rap about who Is president Just so long as Tarnmnny controls greater New York through a democratic mayor. What do the street gangs of New York City care who is elected president just so long as they have work to do., What do the dis trict leaders care who the chief magis trate Is just so long as Tammany controls the city. I tell you that Murphy will not submit to McCarren's dictation and one of the most desperate fights in the his tory of Tammany Is on right this minute for it is Mr. Murphy's Intention to drive McCarren out of the political life, of Goth am, if such a thing can be done. Tammany Leans to Odell. "Democratic politics in New York state Is an anomoly. In conjunction with Pat McCarren, of Brooklyn, David B. Hill has been able to control the politics of the state for a number of years and yet the city which Is expected to give a majority for the democratic ticket to offset up-state republican majorities has not liad a voice In state politics for years. McCarren has always been In a position to hold the bal ance of power between the Hill forces on the one side and the Tammany wing on the other, and as McCarren is not In poli tics for his health he has - entered Into deals with anybody to beat Tammany and In consequence the anti-Tammany wing of the party has been generally successful. Now Murphy is not going to submit to this much longer and if the worst comes to the worst he will rid himself of McCarren even If it takes thousands of Votes in trade to do It. I beard It brooded about when In New York this week that there was every prospect of an understanding being reached between Governor Odell, chairman of the republican state committee, and Murphy. Odell, who Is a fearless partisan and one of the very best organisers the state has ever had, recognises that his future politi cal career depends upon the republicans car rying new iutk buiio tins oari nui luui he loves Roosevelt less, but that he loves Odell more and you can bet your life that if Murphy can be reached the Tammany majority In greater New York will be con siderably cut. down. Just how they pro pose to do this and Murphy remain regu lar I don't know, but the ways of poli ticians are past finding out." , May Own the 'Phones. The government is getting mighty tired of putting up thousands of dollars an nually for telephone service throughout Washington and a scheme has been started to have the government own Its own tele phone plant. At a recent meeting of ths cabinet Secretary Morton of the navy de partment, who Is probably the most prac tical officer In the president's official fam ily, by reason of his long association with many of the leading trunk lines ' of the United States, has been authorized to make an Investigation as to the advisability of the government erecting its own telephone system connecting all the departments and bureaus of the federal government. It has been suggested that the project, if car ried through, may ultimately extend the proposed service to the citizens of the dis trict. The agitation now going on through out the oountry as to the advisability of cities controlling public utilities has un questionably made a deep Impression upon some of the cabinet officers. It Is notorious that the service furnished by the Chesa peake and Potomac Telephone company Is abominable; In fact, there Is nothing like It In any city so far as can be ascer tained the size of Washington In the coun try. Thousands of complaints are lodged every day with the officers of the company protesting against the Inadequate service. But the company, feeling that it has a monopoly of the streets of Washington, and that It could defeat any legislation giving a rival company the tight to open up the streets and lay down conduits, goes on care free without any thought whatsoever as to what may be in otore for It. Outcome of High Rates. Tho talk of a government telephone plant grows out of the proposed new schedule of rates submitted by the Ches apeake and Potomac Telephone company for the coming year. Some of the chiefs of departments consider the rates out of proportion to the service. The controller of the treasury has rendered un opinion holding that the act of congress of April 27 last, relntlng to telephone rates, ap plies only to Individuals, and it Is alleged that the telephone company, following this decision, prepared to raise Its rates to the government, whence the talk of a govern ment system. Thousands of dollars are expended every year by the government for telephone service. The company owns many miles of wires tluit would have to be removed In the event of tho scheme of a government plant becoming effective. Congress Is In an angry mood over the way the telephone company has been treating tha people of the district, their refusal to make charges the same as In other cities for both limited ahd unlimited 'phones bring largely responsible for the suggestion of a governmental plant. Should Secretary Morton report favorably on the project It Is believed that congress would readily appropriate the necessary funds to Install lines connecting sll the depart ments of the government.

For (Continued on Third rags) BATTLESHIP COMPLETE WRECK Merchant Marine Captain Describes Condition of Russian Vessel. (Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904 ) CHE FOO, Aug. 14.-(New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) An officer of the steamship Dagmar, who has arrived from Tsing Chou, said the Czarevitch Is a fearful wreck. It hss four holes a foot and a half square each, which are covered by wooden patches. Its mosts are shattered and part of its bridge has been carried awsy. Its funnels are twisted Into all sorts of shapes. The deck Is cov ered with debris. Pieces of Iron were hurled many yards. Its guns are dented by shells snd its light gear has been swept Into the sea. It presents a sickening sight. All Its officers were killed and many of the men were wounded. The groans of the dying were fearful to he;rr. (CopyrlghL by New York. Herald Co., 1904.) ! TSING CHOU, Aug. H-(New York Her ald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) I have obtained the following de tails of the great naval- battle off Port Arthur: The Russian fleet, comprising six battle shlps, four cruisers snd eight torpedo craft, left Port Arthur on Augnst 10 at 7 o'clock In the morning. ' A Japanese fleet, consist ing of four battleships, (jvo cruisers and thirty-two torpedo craft, iMet the Russians thirty miles from Port Arfhur. The battle was opened by the Japanese between 11 o'clock and noon and lasted until sunset. ' The Russian battleship Czarevitch be came surrounded by four battleships and two cruisers near Shantung promontory and received a terrible fire. Shells were rained upon It from all sides at close quar ters and the roar of ths cannonade was deafening. ' The Japanese also suffered heavily, a twelve-Inch shell struck the conning tower of the Csarevltch and rebounding with ter rible force killed Admiral Wlthoft and badly wounded the admiral second In com mand and the first officer, the latter of whom was later on killed. Three of the battleship's officers and twelve of Its sailors were burled at sea. Its gun crews were annihilated at their work and the deck gear was curled into fantastic shapes like pieces of tin. Debris was carried hundreds of yards. Eventually the Czarevitch got away and arrived at Tsing Chou at 11 p, m. on Au gust 11. Its Becond admiral Is now in the hos pital. One of Its sailors was burled ashore here and an impressive poene was wit nessed at the funeral, which was at tended by German sailors. Survivors of the Czarevitch state Ad miral Wlthoft was torn la pieces by a shell and his body was swept overboard, only one of his legs being1 found. They describe the scene as toifernal, and say men turned gray from ttheir experience. Admiral Wlthoft said before he was killed! "This is our .last fight. Men, be brave." The orders of the officers could hardly be heard for the roar of guns. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of August 11 one torpedo boat arrived at Tsing Chou badly damaged. Half an hour later the Novlk came In. It was uninjured and had no dead aboard. It took on coal and left port again at 3 o'clock the next morning for an unknown destination. A later visit to the harbor gave one some idea of the damage caused to the Czare vitch. Its rudder shaft Is broken, but Its engines are undaitaged. Two of its guns are disabled, Its lifeboats are bat tered and the decks are swept and smeared with blood. RVSSIA IS HOPELESSLY DEFEATED Japan's' Naval Waiting; Game Finally Rewarded with Success. TOKIO, Aug. 14. p. m. Flags are fly ing, lanterns are glimmering and cries of "Banxal" are ringing In the streets of Toklo tonight In honor of the victories gained at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kamlmara. Underneath the jollification of the popu lace lies a feeling of deep satisfaction and gratification at the disposal of a" desperate and serious problem of the war. The Russian Bquadron which confronted Admiral Togo refused battle. It was stronger than Admiral Togo's squadron In battleships and armored cruisers and had It elected to fight tho result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which opposed Admiral Togo compelled him to draw ves sels from the squadron under Vice Admiral Kamlmura and this left the Japanese navy powerless to operate against the Russian Vladivostok squadron and unable to pre vent the raids of these vessels. . The raid conducted by the Vladivostok squadron in July was extremely expensive to Japan, and not only was retaliation tempting, but it was demanded by com mercial interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Port Ar thur. It was confident that the harbor soon would bo untenable for the Russian war ships, that it would eventually get a fair fight In the open sea away from the Rus sian land batteries, and that the Japanese would win. The calculations from the navy were correct and the Russians, with the chances even, have hopelessly been de feated. Vice Admiral Kamlmura, after months of weary and patient waiting, finully got his chance at dawn today off Tsu Island. FRANCE MAY ACT AS INTERMEDIARY Believed No Action Will Be Taken in Ityeshltelnl Case. LONDON, Aug. 14. Information reaching here from Paris Is to the effect that the Foreign office is rot able to state the posi tion which France will take up regarding the seizure of the Russian torpedo bout destroyer Ryeehltelnl at Che Foo by Japa nese ships. It Is pointed out that the mat ter Is one between Russia and Japan In which France Is not directly Interested. Should Russia protest against the seiz ure, France will act as an Intermediary In accordance with the agreement by which it Is charged with the care of Russian In terests In Japan during the war, hut the attitude will depend entirely on" that of the mikado's government, which It Is Im possible to foresee. For Instance, should Japan throw the blame for the affair upon a naval officer, apologize and give up tlte P.yerhltelnl, the matter would simply be dropped. Alexlrlr Goes to lndlvotok. ST.

Aug. 14 -The Bourse Gazette has received the following from Its Llao Yang correspondent: "Twelve Japanese regiments have left In the direction of Port Arthur. It Is stated on trustworthy authority that the mikado has ordered that Port Arthur must be taken at any cost, even if It necessitates the suspension of operations In Manchuria, and It Is quite possible that the main Japa nese force will proceed to Port Arthur within a few days. "Rain hos stopped all operations."

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 14. New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) The result of the naval sortie from Port Arthur is .considered highly satisfac tory, five out of the six battleships that started out having escaped, whereas, Ad miral Togo's announcing the loss of 170 men Implies severe damage done to his fleet. The distinctly lawless action on the part of the Japanese In the Ryeshltelnl affair Is being worked to the utmost. France has been asked to take the lead In an interna tional protest, the United States not seem ing inclined to do so. A Toklo dispatch announces that the Jap anese engaged the Vladivostok squadron, which adds to the suspense already exist ing over what has become of the remains of the Port Arthur squadron. Another dispatch tells that the crews of the Russian destroyers have turned up at Wei Hal Wei, the ships having gone ashore. The Inability of the Japanese to attack Llao Yang creates an optimistic feeling. Each day gained brings large reinforce ments to General Kouropa-tkln. It appears that General Kurokl has been forced to detach troops to assist In the operations against Port Arthur. On the other hand, the Japanese continue pushing their forces up the Llao river.
