It Looks Like Turkey Will Turn Down Dr. Angell. SHE HAS NOT FORMALLY PRO? TESTED AGAINST HIS APPOINT? MENT, BUT WANTS SOME EX? PLANATION OF HIS RECENT UT T EU ANCES?ANOTHER SUGAR TRUST INVESTIGATION WILL BE ORDERED?AN EMPHATIC. DE? NIAL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. Washington, May 29.? While it is not true that the Turkish government lias formally protested against the appoint? ment ol Dr. An-ell as minister to Tur? key, it is true that the porto has asked the .State Department for some explana? tion of the published statements of his alleged utterances tu regard to the Turk? ish government and its treatment of for? eign missionaries. The State Department immediately took up the" matter by correspondence, which it is thought will explain the mat? ter in time for Dr. Angell to ,sall for his post. It is the general opinion here that the Senate will order another sugar trust in? vestigation. A new committee, however, will bo named to succeed the old one. The action of the District court this week lu clearing H.tvomeycr will make the committee somewhat more careful in framing its questions. A decision of the supremo court holds that the law is con? stitutional making it a misdemeanor to refuse to answer questions, it such infor? mation will have good effect. Among the first witnesses to he called will be the newspaper correspondents, and it is well known that they will refuse to answer any questions. It is emphatically denied at the White Housi! to (lay that the President has been considering the name of ex-President Har? rison for minister to Spain or that the place had been tendeted to Gen. B. P. Tracy or anyone else. NEW COMPANYlRGANIZED. The Perkins Machine Company -Soon to Commence Business. _ A cornpauy has just been organized tin? der tue name of the Perkins Machine Company, which is destined to be one of the most successful enterprises ever originated in this city. - ho object of this company is to oper? ate the now tobacco uranulator invented by N. P. Perkins. Capt. Perkins has been working on this invention for seve ral years and the signal success he has met with we ai e sure Is justly deserved. 1 fe bus had a model machine on exhibi? tion in Richmond for the past two months and the letters of praise and '.the number of voluntaiy orders that the company has received from the best and largest manu? facturers of the country is evidence of the entire satisfaction given in ail'the tests, which it is needless to say were severe,as they were conducted by experts from the largest and best known manufactories iu the country. The company is now preparing draw? ings and specifications for a number of new machines which are to be built at once to fill orders already received. It is the intention of the copmany to place the machine on royalty.as the great percentage of material saved by the new process will easily allow the payment of a handsome royilty and still leave ihe man? ufacturer a neat margin. The Richmond tests showed a saving of 10 per cent, in material on the best grade of tobacco and a correspondingly larger percentage on cheaper grades ac? cording to the quality desired. It has been said by well informed busi? ness men 1 hat this company has in the smoking tobacco business what the Bon sack Company had in the cigarette busi? ness. There is every indication that the com? pany will within the next few years bo able to operate at least one hundred of their'machineS,which figured at a royalty of 1-1 efent per pound would yield an an? nual income of about $160,000. The oflieers of the copmany are as fol ? lows: J. A. Jamison, president; J, <). B, Palmer, vice-president; N. P. Perkins, secretary; T. E. Jamison, treasurer. O&Lawn Swings at Yost-Huff Co.

SPEAK OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER REVENUE AND A SOUND CURRENCY, THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT WAS JUST WHAT HE WANTED?HE EMPHASIZES THE ZEAL AND GOOD FAITH OF ROTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. Cincinnati, May 29.?The crowning event of the visit of the Eastern and Western commercial clubs,who have been here for the past two days, was the ban? quet last night at the Clilton mansion of Alexander McDonald, who was the host of the Cincinnati Club. Owing to the necessity for a midnight departure of the Boston guests, the dinner was served early. Among the speakers was Secre? tary of the Treasury Gage, who was given a vociferous welcome. Ho said: "As I have observed 'and listeoded to the words passing *frtm lip to lip among the members of the commercial clubs gathered here, I'discoverJ^twoJparticular themes which have first place in the thoughts of all. These two themes are the turilf and the public finances. You say on the settlement of 'these two ques? tions enterprise waits and industry lan? guishes. Over'.fifty times have I been asked when the tariff discussion would end and the measure proposed receive the lloul vote ?vhich will formulate the meas? ure into law. Over fifty times moro I have been asked, have the financial re? forms, for which the people struggled in November last, been forgotton. "Now, it is not to bo wondered at that you who have so long homo the burden of anxiety and fear, who have so long waited and watched for the restoration of conditions on which some secure estimate, of to-morrow can ho made, ?row nervous and impatient over every act or word which seems to suggest doubt or delay.in the establishment of such conditions. I have thought that on this occasion I could do no better service than to give you. needed reassurance and hope as to the great fabric now before Congress as the tariff bill. I have nothing to say in de? tail. I want to bear testimony, however, to the zeal and good faith of those in both. .Houses who have that measure la charge. They are fully conscious of their arent responsibilities and are working faith? fully to discharge them. Nor do I think that the opponents of these measures are likely to oppose with wilful and unjust obstruction the course of legislation. That there will bo more or less fencing for oos'.tion is expected, but having now come into contact with many of the rep? resentatives of the people in both houses of Congress I deem it my duty to hear witness, so far as it may have value, to v the honorable and patriotic motives that inspire the minds of the great majority, whether on one side of the house or the other, and I prophesy an early result la ! the national councils to which this great i commercial question is now committed. "I make these remarks not to defend anybody, for whom I hold uo commission to speak, but to correct In one direction, if I may, the operation of an injurious sentiment?a"sontlment which is sowing evil seed in many directions. It Is divid? ing classes, destroying unity and breeding hatred. The onoword for that sentiment Is distrust. Faith and courage lead to conquest and victory. Distrust paralyzes and destroys. "As to the financial question, to which I have already referred,I must content my? self with few words. I nm glad that they may be words of assurance. If any of you harbor the suspicion that the administra? tion but just now installed into the re? sponsibilities of high office has forgotten, or is likely to forget, the "mandate ol the people whose voice* In behalf of honest, money and sound tlnauces rang out clear in November last, put that suspicion aside. It is unjust and unfounded. In good time and in proper order the affirm? ative evidences ol my declaration will ap? pear."
