The ambassador justifies his action on the ground, that^ttye sultan broke his direct personal jpromise, given to M. Constans at an audience in the Yil- diz palace last Thursday, regarding the .purchase of the quays and the settle­ ment of the disputed French claims., The foreign minister also gave formal assurances that the agreement would be carried out, so, in view of this dou­ ble breach of faith, M. Constans holds that it is impossible for France to con­ tinue diplomatic relations with Tur­ key. The indications are that the rupture will not prove more serious than a diplomatic skirmish. From various high sources it is gath­ ered that the affair will end peacefully. The Paris boulevards show no war ex­ citement, and the papers pay more at­ tention to the approaching visit of the osar than to the Turkish rupture. The matter is a very simple one and those familiar with the methods of the sublime porte do not expect it to end In any other way than all previous agreements of a similar nature have ended--in a complete backdown by Turkey. A French company was organized to build quays and docks at Constanti­ nople. The sultan gave them a con­ cession. It was understood that when they were flushed Turkey would buy( the works. Apparenttly the sultan thought better of this, and began rais­ ing all sorts of difficulties. general labor boss of the plant, a pres­ sure gauge was knocked off an eight- inch gas main and burning paper thrown into the place, with the idea of destroying it with explosion and fire. He says he plugged the break before the brand was thrown and Baved the works. The strikers indignantly deny that they had anything to do with any plot to wreck the plant, and are in­ clined to discredit Schuster's story en­ tirely. The promised break in the Carnegie properties has not yet come. As far as outward appearances go the lower union mill in Pittsburg has not been af­ fected, but the strikers insist that they have seriously impaired it. The strike leaders are trying hard to gain a foot­ hold in the Clark mill, which is run­ ning with nonunion men, but that property, too, seems to be going at practically full capacity. It is quieter at Duquesne, but the fight for suprem­ acy there is by no means over. Veryl Preston of the United States Steel Corporation was in the city on Wednesday and conferred with the offi­ cials of the Carnegie company. He and the other officials are still silent as to their plans. The somewhat shopworn rumor of peace has again been revived, but the mildest suggestion of it at au­ thoritative places produces long and psltive denials. In the fest the situation Is un­ changed. The South Chicago workers still refuse to go out in sympathy. .** Li* Nebraska People Are BjHfH*T The quarterly statement issued" at Lincoln, Neb., by the state banking board shows the largest amount of de posits in state banks ever known In the history of Nebraska, being $30,564,- 000, an increase of $2,500,000 in three months, while the state was threatened with drouth.

Ambassador Coastals Threaten* to Leave Cofiftantinople. BRIEF tIME IS ALLOWED. flaltaa Hast Settle Matters fat Dtopute Wlthou? Delay--Opinion Prevails la that Afalr Is Being mismanaged --No Naval Demonstration. M. Constans, the French ambassador, has issued what is virtually an ulti­ matum to the Turkish government. It was in the form of a letter to the Sul- •tan personally, informing him that the entire staff of the French embassy would leave Constantinople if the mat­ ters in dispute were not settled im­ mediately. The briefest possible time Is accorded the Sultan in which to oomply with the demands. The foreign office at Paris has re­ ceived a telegram (from M. Constans, the French ambassador to Turkey, to the effect that he has sent an ulti­ matum to the Sultan that he will leave Constantinople at a given date unless satisfaction is accorded for the French grievances. The given date is not stated. The opinion prevails at Paris that the affair is being mismanaged. Either the Sultan is proving more ob­ stinate than was expected or else the government's reticence in giving out Information is Inexplicable. While of­ ficials of the* French foreign office de­ cline to confirm or deny the dispatch from Constantinople announcing that the French ambassador has sent the Sultan a letter which Is in the nature of an utlimatum, they admit having received a telegram from M. Constans, which has been laid before the council now sitting ftt the Elysee palace. Only three ministers were not present. The Premier, M. Waldeck-Rousseau; the Minister of Agriculture, M. Dupuy, and the Minister of Public Works, M. Bau- din, are absent from Paris. M. Con­ stans has been given a free hand. Any step he finds proper to take will be fully indorsed. The Foreign Minister, M. Delcasse, if he deems it necessary, will withdraw the French embassy from Constantinople, and Munir Bey, the Turkish ambassador, who is sow in Switzerland, will be notified not to return to Paris, in which case Munir Bey will probably withdraw the lega­ tion to Berne, as he is also accredited as minister to Switzerland. No naval demonstration is yet contemplated, but the Sultan will probably be seri­ ously inconvenienced by the closure of the Turkish embassy here, which is the center of the espionage maintained to watch the numerous young Turks and other disaffected Ottoman subjects and voluntary exiles who make their headquarters in Paris, and who will have a free hand if diplomatic rela­ tions between France and Turkey are completely broken off. It has been suggested that the French government issue orders for the bourse to cease dea l ing in Turk i sh secur i t i e s , bu t i t i s not likely that this step will be taken, it would only injure the French bondholders. The entire Turkish group fell on the bourse Friday, in some cases going down 10 to 12 francs. According to a special dispatch re­ ceived at Paris from Berne, Munir Bey has already leased a villa there for T|he use of the Turkish embassy. i Gas Wrecks House; Injures Three.
