' WJl TURKEY
State Department Admits That
There Is a Renewal ol Tension
Between Both Countries.
ORIGINATED DURING
ARMENIAN TROUBLE
To Some Extent the 111 Feeling Has
Grown Out of Long Pending
Claims The Stone Abduction May
Also Have Added to the irritation.
Department Officials Refuse to
Disclose Condition of Affairs.
, By Exclusive Wire Iiom The Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 19. It is admitted
at the stnte department that there is a
renewal of tension between the United
States and Turkey, hut the ofllciuls do
not deem it prudent to disclose the
present condition of affairs. They say,
however, that the condition is in no
way grave, but is of that strained
character which has occurred from
time to time with Turkey in recent
years. It Is gathered that the present
tension grows out of the long pending
claims of Americans who suffered loss
during the Armenian outbreak. To
some extent the Stone abduction case
added cause for irritation.
Minister Lelchnian has been given
the latitude to deal with the situation
as circumstances may demand. There
is the fullest confidence on the part ot
, the authorities here in the course be
ing pursued by our minister, and as he
has been given such a free hand in
directing affairs, it is not thought de
sirable to prejudice any steps he may,

what has been or will be done.

ADDRESS DELIVERED
AT M0RRISVILLE
Speaks for Some Modifications, but
Presents Clear Arguments Against
a General Revision Tariff Not the
"Mother of Trusts" What Would
Follow Removal of Duty on Meats.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Morrlsvllle, Vt., Aug. 19. Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, who
attended school at this place, delivered
an address here today. Tho secretary
said, in part:
I have been quoted as opposed to a re
vision of tho tariff. I have never opposed
leadjustment of the tariff. Whenever
congress reaches the conclusion that the
friends of protection ate" strong enough
conservatively to modify certain sched
ules, so as to meet changed conditions
und at the same time successfully resist
the efforts of the opposition to revise the
entire tariff laws, thus paralyzing busi
ness tor a season, I am in favor of it. I
have expressed some doubt.however,
about the wisdom of Instructing by reso
lutions or exacting pledges from candi
dates for congress, when tho effect is li
able to precipitate a protracted debate
with very uncertain results. There ought
to bo some moio tangible reason for such
a dangerous expedient than tho existence
of a sentiment in certain localities, now
as always, that commands a reduction of
the tariff on ai tides there consumed and
not produced, while It stands ready to
light to a finish any i eduction on tho
thing there produced.
Business depiction dissipates both or
ganized and unorganized capital. En
forced Idleness means financial ruin to
Individuals, to business firms and to cor
porations both great and .small. On tho
contrary, bastness pio.sperlty Inspires
hopefulness. It encourages the Individual
to reach.out, to expand, to buy more land,
more houses, more cattle, to erect moro
stores, build moio shops and to embark
in new enterprises. It leud's to tho or
ganization .of corpoiations. It Inspires
both dreams of great things and the con
summation of gigantic enterprises. It
lends to the cumblniitlpn of capital and
suppose that the anthracite coal mlnets
could bo kept together If there were a
million mqn out of employment and their
families begging bread? Will any one
contend that they could bo sustained wero
It not for ii great army of bituminous
coal miners who aie receiving such com
pensation as enables them to contribute)
a dollar a week for tho maintenance of
their biothrenV Tho piotective tariff is
not the mother of ti lists, though it is
tho patent of conditions that makes It
profitable for capital to combine and con
genial for labor or organize.
Tho Republican party In my stato re
cently reaffirmed tho tin Iff platform of
1901. This has caused considerable com
ment. It has been misrepresented, not
tiulto as persistently but in tho same
way that tho memoiablo speech of Pres
ident McKinloy at Buffalo has been mis
represented, misquoted, misconstrued and
misapplied. This platform was unani
mously adopted both years. Its state
ments are academically correct. Every
man In tho United States, Republican
and Democratic, believes In the truth of
its utterances. It declares "in favor of
such changes in tho tariff from time to
limn ns lucernes advisable through tho
progress of our industries and their
changing relations to tho commerce of
tho wot Id." Is thcro any one who is not
"In lavor of Mich chances In tho tariff
from time to time as are advisablo?''
A few days ago the butchers, In con
vention assembled, declared in favor of
abolishing tho tariff on cattlo and meat
to tho end that this supposed shelter for
tho alleged meat trust might bo removed;
but I am disposed to think tho good farm
ers of my stato would vote quito unanl
omusly tigalnst such an experiment. By
tho trend of tho speeches made at tho
butchcis' convention 1 discover a senti
ment well nigh universally expressed
theio that meat Is being monopolized by
tho great packers. But 1 happen to havo
a tenant out In Iowa who has a flno
bunch of cattle, on which -no packer
holds a lien of any kind, and ho wittes
mo that ho is willing to sell them to
butchors if they will pay as much as tho
packets offer. 1 am quite sure tho peoplo
would ns soon buy this meat of tho
butchers as of tho packers. Thus there
is afforded a splendid oppoitunlty for
any ono to make all kinds of money if ho
will but give tho farmer as much money
for his beoves and glvo tho peoplo us
much beef for their money, Supposo wo
tako tho tariff oft beef and then suppose
tho holds of cattlo from Mexico and
South America nto brought In by tho hun
dred thousand. They will find their way
to tho stock yaids, and the tmtcheis Will
bo compelled to bid against the packets
then as now. No. Tho removal of tho
tariff on live stock and moat would not
restoto tho butchota to business, It
might ruin tho formets, but the pack
ers could stand It; for iiotlilnu less than
oiganlzpd capital could cuter the impotf
meat business Wtli packing houses In
foicign countiles, refrigerating ships and
other expensive equipment, 1 happen to
know that at least one, and I, understand
two, of the big packing houses, havo had
men looking Into tho South American
field for moio than two years. Tho for
mer, as It is, has ample reason to be up
prehenslvo, I have taken occasion to look this mat
ter up since leading of these resolutions,
and 1 think I can tind reason for tho to.
cent pilce of meat other than tho pio.
tectlve tariff. I Jlnd that there were re
ceived at tho stock yards In Chicago, In
the one month of July, 190J, to,00U less
beoves and 170,000 Jess hogs than In the
samo month of July, VM, 03,000 less beeves
and 170,000 less hogs than In tho same
month ono year ago. That means 7,000
less animals per day. The Q road alona
during the entire month brought from the
southwest, where the corn crop was a
failure last year, 1,'OOQ less fat steers per
day thl8 year than last.
Let no one undeistnnd this to be a de
fenso of tho packers or an extenuation of
their offenses, A suit Is now pending
against them and If the allegations of tho
petition uro sustained (und that seems
probable) they ure going to have trouble,
und it will tako a very much moro acute
form than It would to say to the farmers
of tho United States that their industry
shall bo opened to competition from tho
unlimited rangers of South America.
Tho secret of American prosperity, gen
tlom6n, can bo couched In four words,
"They nro working now." And "they"
means ovcrybody-'farmor nnd artisan,
mechanic nnd merchant, the man at the
forgo and the man In tho Hold and they
nro all Interdependent. Away back In
181(5 Dnnlcl Webster, In tho courao of a
three days' speech agnlust the most un
fortunate bill which repented tho protec
tive tariff act which boro tho signature
of Old Tippecanoe, uttered this maxim,
"When thoro Is woik for tho hands there
will bo bread for tho teeth." So I appeal
to yoil, gentlemen, to see to It thnt tho
next congress Is Itcpubllcan by a largo
majority so largo that there shall bo
ample courage to do that which Is deemed
wisest and best. Then let theso repre
sentatives of tho peoplo from the manu
facturing districts of Now Kngland, from
tho coal regions of Pennsylvania, Indi
ana and Ohio, and tho copper-producing
regions of Michigan, and tho Iron-producing
districts of Ohio nnd Pennsylvania,
tho agricultural districts of the middle
west, tho stock ranges of tho mountains,
states. and territories and the fruit and
lumber districts of the Pnrl"n mast get
together, and If they can agreo upon one
or a dozen item" In tho present tariff
schedule that can bo reduced, lot It bo
done, and done without threo months'

NEW FUR SEAL ROOKERY
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
Captain Charles !H MeLollan,r of
r venue Service, ' Reports
Existence of Seal Heard
on Aleutian Islands.
By Exclusive AVIre from The Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 19. Captan Shoe
maker, of the revenue cutter service,
lias received a report from Captain
Charles H. McLellan, commanding the
cutter Manning, recording tho discov
ery of a new fur seal rookery in the
Aleutian islands. Tho Manning wont
to tho Aleutian islands in accordance
with Instructions from Captain Shoe
maker, who had received information
through the natives of the existence of
a seal herd near the western end of the
long chain of islands.
While cruising among the islands
early In July, as the executive oflicer
of the Manning, Lieutenant Berthoff
vyent ashore with a boat's crew on tho
island of Bouldyer. There he found a
rookery of fur seals, similar to those
found on the Priblloff islands. Bould
yer Is between Bering sea and tho
Pacific ocean, fully 3.G00 miles west of
San Francisco, but still within Ameri
can jurisdiction. Lieutenant Berthoff
approached the ford closely enough to
observe that none of tho seals had
been branded, and there was no sign
that white men in search of fur seal
had ever been near the island.
The Manning will seek to discover if
there are other rookeries In that local
ity. The suggestion is made that theso
Islands may be ono of the rendezvous
of the fur seal during the absence
from the Priblloff Islands. Tho dis
covery Is considered Important by the
officials here, in view of the gradual
decline of the fur seal In the Priblloff
islands.
