SOME UKAUQINO.
Paris, Jan. 20. Eclaro today com
menting upon the suggested additions
to the Monrbo doctrine, remurks:
"Docs the American government
think it is strong enough to appropri
ate in Its own intorest one of the two
hemispheres, and forbid Europo from
having access to at least half of the
world? If It pushes its extravagant
pretentions to this point, the only
thing that can happen will be that all
Europe will arrive at an understand
ing by which they will close their
ports to American ships, a measure
which will mako America ask for
mercy wlthfu "a "'week" Why docs
America assume an attitude she can
not maintain?"

The Turkish Indemnity.
New York, Jan. ll).Mfcp-itch to
the World from UostotraiwB;
A naval officer whAtjJhas Just re
turned from Washington says:
"There is absolutely reliable author
ity for tlie statement J,bat the ad
ministration has preparefl a plan of
campaign against Turkeylo force the
government of that country to comply
with tho demands ofythe United
Suites for Indemnity for Jloss of prop
erty and for the future protection of
Americans within her domain.
The authorities do .Jot deny this
statement, though thoy have not
hesitated to say that iw! orders what
ever have been Issued tojtlie vessels of
tho navy for carrylngVhls order Into
effect. Upon excellent? authority It is
stated that tho department of state
recently entered Intowjrrcspondenco
with tho foreign powersand that none
of them will Intcrfero.fc
"The plan, as I understand it, con
templates a naval demonstration
against Turkey and perhaps an occu
pation of one of its cities, it has In
view the concentration of practically
tho entire United Slates navy In
Turkish waters. T 10 leal reason
why Real Admiral Bu ice's Heel lias
been held at Hampton roads, instead
of sailing about Christmas time, as
was the original intention, Is because
tho authorities have considered tho
dispatch of tho fleet to Turkish
waters. The Asiatic squadron lias
also been considered and there, arc
ponio officers at Washington who bc
llovo that it is on the way to tho
Mediterranean,! the Asiatic station,
usually so prolific in movements, has
not been heard from in several weeks.
Tho Newark, in South Atlantic
waters, was also talked of.
"Tho United States would be nolo
to make an imposing dcmonstatlon
against tho Turkish govornmont, for
tho Turkish navy could not act
effectively agalnstyt. It la qulto anti
quated, and could easily lib- blown off
tho seas by tho United Statos vessels.
It Is certain that some decisive stroke
is being considered. In any event,
there is occasion for believing that tho
department will Increase tlio European
squadron by tho Now York and
probably two othor vcssols. Tho
transfer of Admiral Bunco's flag to
the Maine, is regarded In this con
nection as significant "

Vwo Santa Fe Officials Held Under
Indictments.
CmoAao, Ja.n. 20. In tho United
States district court today Judge
Grosscup handed down an opinion on
a motion to quash indictments of tho
Santa Fo Railroad company's alleged
violations of tho lnter-state commerce
act. Tho Indictments were upheld In
part and quashed In part. John A.
Henley, general traffic manager of tho
Santa Fe, and ox-President Relnhart
wero adjudged to have been properly
indicted on two counts. Those counts
set forth that the two officials violated
tho act by giving rebates and draw
backs. The indictments against Isaac
Thompson, a Kansas City shipper,
and Maager Jcnnklns, of tho Ham
mond Packing company, wero quashed.
These dccislonl aro in effect that a
shipper could not bo held for violation
In accepting a rebate, and is the first
legal interpretation of that part of
the inter-state commerce law making
shippers equally liable with carriers,
