arrest him. Yesterday the sheriff drove
out near Bunn's home, and soon saw his
man driving along the road with his

him to surrendor, but his only roply was
a persistent effort to get his gun levelled

Solid in tho West.

M. Thurston, of Nebraska, Is at the
Fifth Avenuo Hotel. In an lntervlow
to-day ho said: "Tho Republicans of
Nebraska aro for McKinley for the next
Presidential candidate first, last and all
tbo time. The strength of the Ohio man
in tho WeBt comes from tho fact that
the working people believe in blm.
They know that under the McKinley
law they wore getting more pay than
than they aro getting now. Business
was, generally speaking, better. They
are satisfied that McKinley had some?
thing to do with it, and they want to
vote for blm for President."
"Do you think that tbe Republicans
will be able to organlzo tho United
State Senate at the coming session?"
the Senator was asked.
'?Yob," ho replied. "I believe we will
be strong enough to assume control. I
have been In Washington for a week
and can say at the opening of the Sen?
ate the Republicans will start and re?
organize that body. I believe that all
of the Populist members will vote with
the Republicans this session."

James J. Corbett in an Interview to-day
said: "I am disgusted with tho entire

enterprises to tho stage. No matter
what the publlo may say, whether it be
complimentary or otherwise, I cannot
be Induced to again enter tho a ena.
"They may say that when I whipped
Sullivan he was an old man and that I
never whipped a good man in my career;
but I am fully determinod In my pur?
pose to quit. I Bupposo the public
blames m? for not pulling off the fight
with Fltzslmmons, but I am not dis?
posed to answer any criticism and will
not discuss it.
"I bestowed tho championship upon
Manor because he is an Irishman and
because T prefer be should bear and de?
fend that title rather than place It In
tho custody of either an Australian or
an Englishman. Up to tho present I
have declined to give my reasons for
recognizing Maher, but you oan print
that as coming from me.
"I consider Poler Maber tho peer of
any man in the ring, and have no hesi?
tancy in saying that ho can whip Fltz
simmons. He is a great man, and ho
will one day demonstrate his right to
boar tho title of champion of tho
world."

phorua.
Constantinople, Nov. 25.?From
what oan be learned here It would seem
that the situation in Anatoli appears to
be much more tranquil than for some
time past, and there Is no doubt that
efforts are being made to maintain
order In the districts where disturbances
are threatened and to suppress disor?
ders where outbreaks havo occurred.
All danger Is not pas3ed, however, even
in Anatolia.
The governor of liadjln, who had
threatened to burn the convent there
and set Uro to tho barley fields in the
vicinity, has, owing to tho strong repre?
sentations in ado to the porte ou the sub?
ject by Mr. Terrell, been recalled, and
hiB conduct will bu inquired Into.
Tho members of the American colony,
as well as other foreign residents of this
city and vicinity, join In praising the
energotlc and effectivo action of Mr.
Terrell undervery trying circumstances.
There seems to bo no reason for doubt?
ing that bis representations to the porte
have boon tho means of saving Amer?
ican lives and protecting American
property.
The question now being disoussed be?
tween the porto and tbe representatives
of tbe powers Is that of adding four ex?
tra guardshlps to tho little foreign
fleets in the Bosphorus, Groat Britain,
Italy, Russia and Austria demanding
firmans to pass through tho Dardanelles
of an extra gunboat to bs attached to
their respective embassies. Although
the demands were made over a week
ago, on tho ground that tho foreign
population of Constantinople needed
tbis additional protection, the sultan
still holds out In his refusal to grant
tho requlrod permission.
From tho highest authority The As?
sociated Press is enabled to give the
viow of tho case taken by the Turkish
government. It is as follows: While
admitting that tho powora possess the
treaty right to have two guardshlps in.
the Bosphorus, tbo porte considers that
the proposed increase of tbe number of
foreign war vessels there, under the
present condition of things in the
Turkish empire, might excite tho Mus?
sulmans and produce an effect far from
the one desired by tbe powers. In ad?
dition, the porte points out, that in
view of the measures taken to preserve
order here an increase In tbe number of
guardshlps attached to tho ombrsalos IS
not required.
The absence of news from Zeitoun,
which the Armenians are still said to
be holding In strong force and the fail?
ure of tho government to iurnlsh any
information regarding tho concentra?
tion of Turkish troops at Marash for
the advance on Zeitoun, Is causing some
uneasiness. Besides, no news is ob?
tainable concerning the rising of the
Drusen against Turkish rule, one of the
most serious features of tho whole sit?
uation. Tho financial situation con?
tinues to hamper the government in
its efforts to restore order In Asiatic
Turkey and there does not seem to bo
any prospect of real relief in any direc?
tion.
Tranqulllty Will be Restored.
Washington, Nov. 25.?The latest
dispatches to tho State Department
from United States Minister Terrell,
states that he Is now officially assured
of the protection of throo ladlea* at
