Parker inado no Interpellation on the gold standard In hi9 speech of acceptance at the cere- moiilea which occurred at Rosemount on Wednesday. His manuscript as given in advance to tho press was followed to tho letter In so far as reference was made to iho sold'standard telegram sen', to tho St.

convention. Some few changes In phraseology, or to bo exact, of synrmyms, were, mado In relation to other subjects, but not one deviation affecting tho original meaning the speech. Tlds statement is made upon the highest authority obtainable, and Is confirmed by several newspaper men who followed the sucech during tho deliverance. When Judge Parker's attention was called to what purported to bo his interpellation, he made it clear that ho had no objection to the circulation of a story to the effect that ho haA emphasized his conviction that the i gold standard is "firmly and irrevocably established" as It had been his intention to place as much emphasis upon his position in that regard as it was possible for him to do. Some Indignation is felt at Rosemount, however, at what appears to Judge 1'arker to be an attempt to create tho impression that he has written one speech for National consumption and delivered another for the benent of those who were present to hear for themselves what the candidate had to say.

The State Department did not see fit to make public the Minister's communication, but did make the general statement that the negotiations had taken a more favorable turn. While It Is extremely difficult to secure any details of Minister Lelshman's last communication and of the response of the gjate Department, it is that Minister has Informed the State Department of the terms advanced to him v8t' r- day by the Turkish officials; In "principle these appeared to the State Department to be satisfactory and in line with what it has- so persistently demanded. But there Is, after all, a vagueness about the Turkish statements and promises that has caused the department, having In mind the past experience in the way of promises, to Instruct Mr. Lelshman to to it propositions aro reduced to concrete and arc made In such a binding manner that there can not be any question as to their fulfillment by the Turkish Government.
