FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
It now Transpires That England did not
''T: Captnre Mltylane Island. : t :
I London, Sept. .16. The public are
anxiously waiting for a distinct official
denial or admission of the news about
the seizure of Mitylene. So far, the de
nials have been qualified in a way that
implies i foundation for the story. Ad
vices received from Berlin and Vienna
' state tha't the news was received with
amazement in government circles,' fol
lowed by a lively use of the wire in con
nection with the legations at . Constanti
nople. The Berlin government, from all
that can be learned, anticipated war at
an early date but did not think it would
originate at the Dardanelles. The Dar
danelles question, it was thought, would
be settled by diplomacy, and the Franco
Prussian or Austro-Russian frontier
would witness the first great encounter..
While it is now admitted that the
British force has not seized the island of
Mitylene, the news to the effect that the
island has been occupied was received
from Mitylene and elsewhere by various
embassies at Constantinople and other
capitals. The new Turkish minister of
the interior telegraphed to the British
ambassador at Constantinople, Sir
William White, asking the latter to ex
plain the reports of the landing of the
British force on Turkish territory. : Sir
William, in reply, said he was entirely'
ignorant of the whole affair, but it was
probable that the crews of some British
war ship might have landed on the is
land of Mitylene in the course of regular
boat drills and landing exercises: The
British ambassadors assured the Turkish
minister that no fortifications had been
constructed on the island by the British
troops. This.view of the case was con
firmed by dispatches received during the
night, which stated that the force that
had landed form the British' war ships
has re-embarked and that the men-of-war
had left the island of Mitylene for
Marmorito. The affair caused great ex
citement in diplomatic circles for a short
time, and it is still asserted that these
same 'maneuvers" had at least the pur
pose of showing the sultan and bis ad
visers how easily England could change
her boat drills and landing exercises off
the island of Mitylene into a dangerous
reality. .
The News and Chronicle both say the
report of the occupation of Sigrl cannot
be without foundation and that, if true,
the seizure will be nothing less than a
bellicose act of which . Lord Salisbury
could hardly have been capable, since he
escaped Beaconsfield's influence? They
hope the government will, without delay,
inform the public of the real facts.
The , Chronicle says : . . And . fall in
American railroads can only be tempor
ary. Even if the worst fears of 'Europ
ean complications are realized, a war
would mean a rise in grain to benefit
Am eric nn farmers and trunk lines...
THE ADMINISTRATION ENDORSED.
r ' .''''"
Massachusetts Republicans to Adopt a
. .Sensible Platform. - .
Bokson. Sept. 16. Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge' will be permanent chairman of
the republican convention which meets
here tomorrow. . The following is under
stood, be the synopsis of the platform:
President Harrison and the administra
tion are congratulated ;' the maintenance
of civil service reform is . demanded ;
there is a' strong demand for a federal
law to insure fair elections, a true ballot
and an honest count; on the money
question it is asserted that a true stand
ard must . be 'maintained and the posi
tion and record of the democratic party
are condemned. . The tariff legislation
of the last congress is approved and its
good results pointed out, particularly
the benefit from the duty on sugar and
the reciprocity clause: extravagance
in pensions is denounced as well as the
statement made that the party had ful
filled its promises to the loyal soldiers.
It is urged that immigration be restricted
while honesty, intelligence, and indus
try are heartily welcomed to America.
The welfare of the workingmen is de
clared to be the welfare of the state and
just legislation is favored which will give
the fruits of labor to all.
- Friends of both William Rapp, of New
Bedford and Charles H. Allen, of Low
ell, are confident their men will be nom
inated for governor.

THE SEAL QUESTION.
A Complication Arising From an Ia-
fringment by a Commercial Com-.
. . pany of Their Lease.
Defaulter Chandler in Portland but He
'Refuses to be Interviewed His
Salary Was Too Small.
i
Washington, Sept. 18. Sir Julian
Pauncefate, British minister, officially
called the attention of the United States
to the violation of the term of modus
Vivendi in effect between the two coun
tries as to catching seal in Behring Sea
by agreement between the two coun
tries'. The North American Commercial
company, which leases Seal Island from
the United States, was restricted in its
catch of seal this year to 7000 skins, but
it is alleged that the Commercial com
pany has exceeded the catch. Special
Agent Williams in his report, it is un
derstood, makes the-admission that the
North American Commercial company
exceeded the limit of the catch fixed by
the modus vivendi. The matter is re
garded as quite important, and it may
lead to the modus vivendi being declared
in operation after this date.
THE CYCLONE RECORD.

Portland, Or., Sept. 18. United
States' Debuty Marshal Lam pkins ar
rived here this morning, .having in
charge Fred Chandler, who, with Ed
ward Albertson, was arrested Wednes
day near Gardiner. . Albertson was left

by a reporter but refused to be inter
viewed. It is now reported that the officers

close prisoner and is not allowed to com
municate with anyone. .
. His Salary Was Too Small.
: Kingston, Y., Sept. 18. The trus
tees of an Ulster county banking insti
tution removed James. E. Ostrander
from the office of treasurer, finding that
he had misappropriated the funds. The
amount is Variously estimated at from
sixty to eighty thousand dollars. This
will not embarrass the- bank. Ostran
der is under arrest at his bouse and it is
thought the matter an be adjusted by
his turning over real estate sufficient to
cover the amount.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
Action Taken by the Fanners and
La-
borers Assembled There.
St. Louis, Sept. 16. The farmers'
and laborers' convention reassembled
this morning. The resolutions which
were considered yesterday were brought
up and adopted by a good majority.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion reported. It provided for the ap
pointment of a committee of seven,
which is authorized' to submit to the
next supreme council at the Ocala con
vention; also, that the committee be
authorized to file the objections of the
convention to the passage of any resolu
tion whatever binding the individual
membership of the alliance to any po
litical course of action.
OTIIEK RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
A. S. Smith, of Missouri, presented a
resolution, which was adopted, declar
ing the sole object to prevent the con
vention to be to express an opposition to
the proposed sub-treasury and land-loan
enactment, and to institute an educa
tional movement in that direction,
thereby bringing the farmers' alliance
back to those principles of wisdom, jus
tice and fraternity on which it was origi
nally based. The following resolution
was also adopted :
''We recommend that the members in
each state, who oppose the sub-treasury
and land loan scheme' and government
ownership of railroads, and were not
present in this meeting, be respectfully
invited to co-operate with us, and re
quested to proceed to organize aud elect
one member from each state, who shall
become a member of the national cen
tral committee, provided for in the re
port of the committee on permanent or
ganization. NO TICKET NOMINATED.
Pennsylvania Alliance Men to Choose
Their Own Candidates.
Gheensbukg, Pa., Sept. 16. There
were probably 200 delegates at the con
vention of the people's party. F. R.
Aguew presided. A resolution was
adopted recommending every citizen to
vote as he pleased on the constitutional
convention, question. The platform
adopted recommends :
The abolition of national banks as
banks of issue and the substitution of
greenbacks for national-bank notes, con
demns alien ownership of land and land
holding by railway companies in excess
of that necessary to their traffic ; de
mands free and unlimited silver coinage,
equal taxation, a graduated income tax
government control, and if necessary,
ownership of railroads, and a direct vote
of the people for president, vice-president
and United States senators. It aleo
recommends that the government loan
money at two per cent, on real estate
and nonperishable products.
The platform was adopted, and it was
decided to organize a state committee
and issue an address.. An attempt was
made to capture the convention for the
democratic nominee for state treasurer,
but it fell through. No ticket was nom
inated, and the convention adjourned.

The Kings county delegates were for
Hill originally", but when they discovered
that Chapin's gubernational apirations
were sure to be ignored, they turned
into an equally solid Cleveland band,
and proclaimed their preference for the
ex-president with as much enthusiasm
as they had manifested earlier for Hill.
But for this change.Hilr would have re
