The Allied Power Acreed as to the Neces ity for Concert of Action False Report of Bassia's Secret movements In the Mat ter The Saltan Trying to Sow j Discord Among the European Governments Joy .at the Turkish Embassy In London. (Copyrighted by The New York Sun.) ; London, .January 2. -Persons accus tomed to call at the Turkish embassy in Bryanston square, this city, observed today ' a strange gleaming In the am bassadorial and secretarial eyes.-It was not a glint of ferocity, , for the1 Turk, away from Home and standing- ' the provocation of the sight of fat, -sleek Armenians and Greeks, who; somehow seem to prosper while he starves, is. the mildest mannered of men.' It was rath er a light, of hope inspired rby the near prospect of - the satisfaction of a desire long deferred. The entire -embassy. In fact, was imbued by the belief that Something was. about to be paid op ex cess of arrears of salaries. Tactful en quiry elicited no sort of ' just! ''ration which would have filled a European with such ppitismbut the Turkish dip lomatic office finds enough ground upon which to anchor hope in a square yard, where 'a European reauires a -square mile, and even then fails to- find secure anchorage. The Sun reporter found the optimism which iignted up Bryan ston square and the murky vicinity was inspired by the receipt of an intimation that funds were, about to be forwarded through the usual channel and every one appeared to be perfectly satisfied thereat, for in addition to a- direct promise, indirect proof was forthcom ing that matters financial i were look ing 'up in Constantinople. The HamU diech cavalry, which were sent home to Asia Minor thi$ week, were paid al most in full beforestarting, and in sev eral instances; troops who took the Hev. of threatening' to ' mutiny received something on account. Even the com mon workmen and the disbanded -marines, who engaged in the demonstra tion in the arsenal in Constantinople the .other day have received an install ment of .themoney due them. All. of which goes toT prove that there is money somewhere in Turkey . and, in addition LW 11113 ttri LO.llll.0r .iUCic ; iuiodwa Vc great and fflorious fact that th" sul tan's financiers have produced a beau tiful budget, showing a surplus of near ly $500,000,Lwhich, it is thought, cannot but be a preliminary to floating an even lovelier loan; with the proceeds of which everybody will be made happy. European scoffers recall the fact that so recently as last October it of- cially estimatea that tne Duaget wouia show a deficit of $5,000,000, wnile unoffi cial estimates put it at nearly $20,000, 000; i But the budget commission now say there is an undoubted, surplus and, as the sultan haa given the statement the seal of his imperial approval, ob viously there is nothing more to say. The nfilitical situation in .Constanti nople remains virtually unchanged since , a week ago. 1 Prince Bismarck has insDired the Vienna Neue Free Presse to declare that "The web on which Russia, .together with other powers, is publicly, engaged, namely tbe work of reforms, is secretly undone by, her day by day. The Turk Jcnow nmrope is, not ' united and '" accordingly; ' The whole1, is . a comedy in which .the dupes are not even duped, because eVery cabinet in Europe knows that Russia is insincere. She will at the right moment land troops on the shores of the BosDhorus and force a protectorate upon the. helpless sultan and then' close the, doors of the straits, putting the keys Into her pockets, and; being secure again surprise from that side, devote all ner energy tb the fur therance of her Asiatic schemes, it is unlikely that. England will object by force, because she could count upon military support neither from Austria, which has already - concluded a com pact with Russia on the model that signed at Reichstadt-with regard to the occupant of Bosnia and Herzegoyina, nor from ; Italy, Whieh statements to the contrary notwithstanding, has a treaty with Russia. The upshot of it all Will be that Constantinople will be come Russian .with the, rest of Turkish empire, except a -portion allotted be forehand to Austria, namely- Salonica and its neighborhood."! ' : The Neue Free Presse does not spe cifically state that its informant ' is Prince Bismarckj but (the source of its -inspiring is wel - understood to- be Friedrichsruhe and many; people therefore-are disposed to attach paramount importahce to the foregoing summary of the situation. But Prince Bismarck has said the same thing over and over again since his expulsion from power, and although it is perfectly true that Russia- dominates Kurope ann twill make more out of the Turkish crisis than any other power, the suggestion that she is now playing Europe false may be dismissed as baseless.- V ";"At this juncture a more trustworthy authority than the ex-chancellor even, is the Constantinople correspondent of The London Daily News, who has con fidential .relations, not only with nis own embassy there, but with the Rus sian embassy as well. -He telegraphed yesterday full confirmation of ; The Sun's last dispatch on the subject, that the most noteworthy feature of . the present situation is that the ambassa dors are united among themselves as to the line of conduct to be pursued. So far as they are concerned, the. con cert of Europe is more completely -in harmony than it has ever been. What they are' discussing is kept strictly among themselves. - They have neither a secretary nor a ; protocalist atttheir. meetings and are .agreed. that. for the present, at least,' nothing will betold outside their own circle. But they have no hesitation in letting it be known they are .Working harmoniously together. It is notorious that on pre rvlous' occasions they have endeavored to be in accord, but have not Succeed ed, i but' the statement- is now made so seriousiythat all are in line ' as to what they -want as to hardly leave room for actual, and not a merely apparent and piausahle solution, ;.have. i induced the ambassadors1 or the powei they, repre sent to sink all minor differences and to agree to deyjse a scheme which can be enforced as well as accented. The ambassadors of England," France and Russia, apparently mean business and M. Nelidorf the Rtissian ambassador, finds himself supported by the .repre sentatives of all the other great powers. The best proof that the powers have agreed upon something which is not to be a mere sham or another, paper re form Is IfW" pertubation which the past week; . has 'ithessed , The able palace favorite, Izsiet Beyj has. been entrusted with a mission which Is be lieved to consist in keeping the am bassadors at loggerheads, and it is ru mored that his gre"at influence at the Yildiz ' Kiosk. ijfJII cease as soon as it becomes manifest Jht the ambassadors eaRwrrt be sek one against the other. iDriig (he past 'w,eek, the ambassa dors have visits ald them with the object .of ieaniiing whether each, one visited could not be induced tfl see that the seDrate interest of the country he .represents will be best served: by sup porting Turkey, m.

ON The Question Being on Placing Duties on Flax, Hemp and' their Manufactures A -: Demand - for" ,Dnty; on - Manufactured Coods, with Raw Material Free-A Tilt . Between Manufacturers The Committee Resent the Conduct of a Witness. " Washington, - January 2. -Today was the 'fifth day; of the. tariff hearings be fore th house committee "oh' ays' and mean the Subject of discussion being f Flax, hemp and their manufactures." TheTewas xiuite a large- attendance of persons interested in the industries; '""The first manufacturer t6'b6 heard v.Mr5Winiam Rutherford, of jpak land, pal, who said that1 in California tbere -were -engaged in - making, twine, yarn and clothing a great many mills. The first of these mills was started there "about thirty years ago,- and with in that time, the businessjhad increased largely. Theyow wanted a reasonable protection; to .run Jtheir mills, ' 'and he sufgeated"scbchaffgerw .were considered 'necessary for the pur pose. He ; said one of the "oldest plants in the United States, established at Blak Point, Cal., during the war, hal been taken down and transferred to Japan. He had been advised to trans fer his ant t; YoITonama, being told tnat 'het;6'uldKg'et his iabor at from 6 to 12 cents per day, and his coal for about 90 cents per ton. ; But he had found that foreigners could not hold property, in Japan and, . therefore he- had bad to give up that idea. The summingof Mr. Rutherf6rd"s statement was the suggres tion of the following rates in the new tariff: "Burlaps, of any width, of flax, jute or hemp, or of which flax, jute or hemp, or eiither of; them, shall be the component jnaterial of chief value (ex cept such as may, be suitable 'for cot ton) 194 cents per pound. Bags for. grain, made of ' burlaps, 2 v cents : per pound." ; . . ., ' ! . Mr. Crawford Lyon, pf . Baltimore, was the next speaker. He began by characterizing the last witness as a misleader and 'alarmist; and he' con tradicted ; a -statement of , Mr.. .Ruther ford's a Jo the-admission of jute fab rics free of duty. The interest in which he -himself .appeared! was that of oil cloth and iineoleum. In the course of Mr. Lyon's statement, he made a re mark as to manufacturers of oil -cloth in Baltimore becoming presidents or principals of banks.! ... Mr. Grosvener asked 'what Mr. Ly ons meant to imply by that remark, Mr. Lyons said that he preferred to go on with his -statement and be inter rogated afterwards. . . - This suggestion was resented by sev eral members of the committee and Mr. Grosvener aaaea: aupose i insist on lmitn imply by saying that certain bank pres idents in Baltimore have beenf engaged in themanufacture of Oil-cldjth. : : imnlv nothing": said the' witness, ri say that certain manufacturers of old cloths in Baltimore nave, oecome presidents and principals of banks." . "Prhans they I were bank, presidents bef&re they became oif cloth mahufac- , "That is hot so," said Mr.- LTOn.- - f "Then yos -mean to imply,'' Mr. Grosvener persisted, "that they made unreasonable profit as oil cloth manu facturers and went into the banking . -business." ... J- "I leave you to imply whatever you 1 like," was the reply. The oil coth and ' Iineoleum business here, he said, was in the: hands of a few companies. Any" increase in the present duties wouia prohibit the importations and place the makers here in a position to "squeeze' the public, an opportunity they had never : been" known to pverlook.J f The cost of making these products was how less than ever before, 'and in-addition, the improvement of machinery enabled one employe,: to do a great deal jnore Works - - Mr. Rutherford, of California the first witness said that he did not ob ject to being called an "'alarmist:" : hr- would not submit to being: charac terized as a misleader ' arid he went on to argue that he Was right in his- orig inal statement. ; ;-i John Wilson of Newark. ,N. J., a flax- worker, spoke in: behalf of those engaged in this trade. He asked for the restoration of the duties of 3 cents per hundred on-dressed flax with free raw material, j if , raw material was taxed 1 cent a. pound he asked 4' cents per. ..pound on the dressed article, to even the difference in wagea here -and abroad. ? ' .. .. ; ' -. ' ' " Leslie Coombs, , of, Lexington,., Ky said that previous to the passag'e of the present tariff law.- he had been the largest hemp ' grpwer in this country. His business had been practically de stroyed under the law and lie had not grown a pound for years. The putting of sisal grass, manilla and jute on the free list had greatly damage'd the hemp industry.- . jrV .- S J. N. Bemis, ofJBoston, representing the bUrlap bag manufacturers pf this country, claimed that there was no bur lap industry here to compete with that abroad, and, therefore, no industry to protect. He requested a duty on burlap bags sufficient to cover the dif ference -in the cost of labor here and abroad. He wanted free burlaps and free burlap cloth the proper width for making bags . Jute,- he held, could not be. grown here under any conditions.
