CRAFTY 'ABDUL GAINS TIME
Thinks Powers .May Yet Intervene.
Situation in "Sick MsaV'-Do-
main Analyzed Eyes of True
Believers Are Opened.
LONDON, Aug. 16. (Speciall)-Great
uneasiness prevails herj In regard to con
ditions in Turkey, and all kinds ot views,
are expressed regarding It. The young
Turks and their foreign sympathisers
may flatter themselves that all sorts of
wonderful .things are going to. happen,
but the Sultan is evidently only endeavor
ing to gain time, and it seems that this
was the only thing he could do in the
circumstances. Action by the powers is
still possible. A writer in the Daily Tele
graph says:
"Germany, as usual, Is making the most
of her opportunities. Only those who have
been in close touch - with the Ottoman
Empire during the past twenty-five years
can form any reliable. opinion of the pres
tige lost by Britain' and gained-by Ger
many during this period throughout the
whole of the. nearer. East. General, von
der Goltz, a personal friend of the Kaiser,
is reorganizing the Turkish army, and is
in dally touch with the Sultan and his ad
visers. The most important railway con
struction and mining concessions have
been obtained by German engineers. The
new bridge across the Golden Horn is to
be constructed by a German "firm, of Ger
man material. Germany has stood first
commercially and politically at Yildiz
since. Russia was crippled in the. Far East.
The Austrian Empire comes next, and
England comes a very poor third.
England Xoses Art Treasures.
"The Kaiser's friend. Dr. Wegen, curator
of the Berlin National Museum, holds im
portant rights and concessions for exca
vations in the Levant, and the majority
of the Byzantine and Graceo-Roman an
tiquities that have been, unearthed dur
ing the past decade have, as a matter of
course, found their way to Berlin. In this
direction Great Britain la. positively
asleep. ?
"It is a crying shame that no sooner
are early. Christian parchments and an
ti,,itiu. hrnnirht tn liht. to say nothing
rt nrolo.. r can marbles, etc.. than
they are smuggled through to Berlin and
Vienna. -Any intelligent traveler . who
th. trnnhlA to visit Constantinople
can see with his own eyes the way in
which Britain is slowly allowing ner.cn
to be oused In every direction."
A writer In the Times says:
"Formerly Moslems In the Asiatic Prov
inces of the' Ottoman Empire had very
few political, notions, and beyond mind
ing their crops, selling their goods, and
rearing their families, paid little heed to
matters of state or administration. Their
views on such subjects were simple the
Government or Dow la was a thing to
avoid, the official a necessary evil, and a
Moslem's whole duty was to keep his
Christian fellow-subjects in order, treat
them kindly if they were submissive, or
smite them if they rebelled, while ser
vice In the army for so many days or
yars, as the khallf chose to direct, was
to a MOBte a matter of course.
Basis of Old Regime.
"The calm and deliberate acceptance
of this creed by the majority of the Tur
kish and Arabic-speaking Moslems of
Asiatic Turkey was until recently the on
ly solid foundation of the Constantinople
regime. Hitherto the central authority
has always had at its disposal two forms
of diversion, of which it could avail it
self in . event, of the Moslems of Asia
growing restless either the Armenians or
other Christian people might be repre
sented as dangerous to the -state or a
naval demonstration of the Powers could
te provoked. In the first instance the
Asiatic Moslems coi Id be deluded into be
lieving that the Christians threatened
them and their property. In the second,
that the nations of Christendom were be
ing held at bay by the diplomacy of the
Central Government in. either case the
detested tax-gathering, conscript-crimping
Dowla appeared as tne only defense o
the Moslem against Christian supremacy:
and to the Moslem, corruption, tyranny,
extortion and material poverty would be
far preferable to dishonorable subjection.
Their Eyes Are Opened.
"However, judging from recent events,
it would appear as if the Asiatic Moslems
were beginning to wonder whether the
wretched condition of tne empire could
not be mitigated by their own efforts. In
Castamunt, Sivas, Sinope, Aleppo, Bitlis,
Changrl, and Erxerum and other Import
ant cities, the Moslems have on one pre
text or other tried conclusions with the
Government; in each case thy gained
their point without trouble, because the
Moslem soldiers would not shoot Mos!am
demonstrators, and those whose business
it was to Know this were well aware of
the fact. The cry of Islam in danger no
longer evokes enthusiasm, nor do sug
gestions of Christian disloyalty obtain
such ready credence as heretofore; nearly
the whole of the younger military officers
and many of their seniors are weary of
insane wars in She Yemen, purposeless
expeditions Into Persia, and murderous
affrays in : Macedonia, where . there Is
neither honor nor remuneration to , be
obtained.
The merchants, landowners and citi
zens are beginning to realize the price
that Is being paid to foreign cacession
hunters for laying down the various cir

DEPLORES NUDE ON STAGE
Publie Prosecutor in Paris Places
Actresses on Gridiron.
PARIS, Aug. 15. (Special.) "It seems,'.'
said the Public Prosecutor. In the trial
of a number of actresses accused of im
proper conduct on the stage, "that music
halls and cafes chantants are striking out
In a new direction. In lieu of the ballads
iino- tn thn tlmp. of our Krandfathers, the
chief element of Buccess is now constituted
by the revue, in which, amid-a dazzling
display of lights and colors; groups of
nrettv actresses aDtear cleverly exposed
In the scantiest costume made by our lead
ing dressmakers. It so happens that tno
custom, of dressing these actresses too
scantily leads to the conclusion that K is
simpler not to dress them at all."
' These words were spoken in severe tones,
in the presence of half a dozen accused
actresses and their managers, before a
full court. The actresses, on the other
hand, strongly protested against the ac
cusations of having taken -part in scan
dalous scenes. One of them, accused of
too ardent a display in a love scene, said
that it was not true that she had actual
ly kissed her companion on the stage.
The nearest spectators were some 25 feet
away, and what they saw was a mere
vague optical Illusion. Both characters,
moreover, had their faces made up with
rouge and other colors, and if they had
actually kissed, the grease paint would
have melted off, she said.
These statements were followed with
great Interest, not only by the public,
but by the court. The charges against
the actresses were severe. They were
due to the campaign started some time
ago by the Deputy M. Delahaye. who had
undertaken to purge Paris of alteged stage
scandals. The offenders were heavily
fined. .. ' ' "
SOCIALIST ' RIOTS FEARED
Ivondon Police Expect Trouble if
Times Are Hard.
LONDON, Aug. 15. (Special.) Al
though the general public affects to
ridicule tho doings of the extreme
Socialists, the police are perfectly
aware that should there ' be a severe
Winter' with more' unemployed than
ever in London, there is every possi
bility of serious riots. The extreme
Socialists have been much irritated of
late and disloyal . speeches against the
King, such as would mean Imme
diate imprisonment in Germany, are
heard every day in Hyde Pat k and at
stre'et corners.
Keir Hardle is still stlrrmg I p all tho
trouble he can over the Windsor Garde 1
party incident, when the 'iClng or the
Lcrd Chamberlain left his na.nj out ol
the list of irvitations.
Another Socialist and "leader of tne
unemployed" having been severely
worsted in a libel action which he
brought against a London newspaper Is
vowing vengeance in the form of organ
ized riots, and still another and now dan
gerous leader Stuart Gray, who attempt
ed to camp -out in Windsor Park lasf
Winter, makes no secret of his intention
to stir up trouble in the streets of the
capital at the first opportunity. Al
though he openly advocated the use of
revolvers in Hyde Park, he was not ar
rested. The police are watching the move
ments of all the leaders of. thj violent
wing of the party most car'fui;-, but
they are acting with great tact. The
Commissioner of i Police, however, has
already organized a complete campaign
in case of emergencies.

PARIS, Aug. 15. (Special.) By for
getting her part after playing It more
than 400 times. Mile. Delvair, of the
Comedle Francaise, created a painful
scene on the stage of that historical
theater. . Mile. Delvair, one of the pret
tiest and most popular actresses with
the Paul Mounes stock company, was
playing the title role in "Marion De

until the beginning of the fourth act,
when she was suddenly indisposed and
when she reached an important ecene

lines. Prompting failed to restore her
memory and Paul Mounet had to finish
the scene as best he could. Mile.. Del

public asylum of Nanterre, and a pair of
swindlers, their countrymen, one of whom
has only one eye and who has been
sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
The - wreicnea emigrants, wun umy
mmtArntA mm in thpir nnssesslon. and tho
greater part of their fortunes contained
in the bundles tney were carrying wu
the boat at Beyrout, intending to go to
America. After remaining huddled on tho
deck of the steamer for days, and travel
ing in slow trains they reached Paris,
..',. nn hntiH the -train, for
Dieppe by an Interpreter, who also ex
plainer to litem now irnry wc w
to London ' and Liverpool, and take
steamer for America..
Hardly had the train started when a
Mussulman took a seat in one of their
.nmn.rtm.n(i nA tnli them he had
come to replace the interpreter. He spoke
in Arabic, wnicn gave mem coiiuaiitc, ,
and after a while asked them to show
their tickets.
Victims Are Terrified.
"They are worthless," he exclaimed, as
soon as he saw them. "I shall call the
'muAlr.' that is to say. the inspector of
the train," he added. The poor creatures
were terrified' when he further told them
they would not be able to ' take the
steamer for America. The alleged
"mudlr," a "ne-eyed, miserably-clad Mus
sulman, appeared, and the false guide
bowed down to the- ground before him.
"You will have to pay your fares again,
said the one-eyed "mudir."
In vain the wretches sighed and
groaned. They had spent all their for
tune on the first tickets. "I am the
master here," said the "mudlr." "You
will have to pay." He seized one of the
children from its mother's lap, opened the
compartment door, and threatened to
fling it out if she did not pay. The
mother surrendered, and the false
"mudlr" and interpreter searched in her
belt, and took all she possessed a sun of
about 50. . "
Given Worthless Tickets.
Little by little the other emlgranU also
vlelded and gave the last penny they
had in return for which the two robbers
took their railway and steamer tickets,
and gave them- instead worthless old
tickets of the Paris Metropolitan, which
they sold were the right ones. The
"mudlr" and his companion then disap
peared. The emigrants had no end of
trouble afterwards with the railway offi
cials, but they got as far as Newhavon,
whence they were sent back to France.
The Turkish Consul-General having re
fused to pay their way to their own
country, the French government sent
them to the Nanterre asylum. N
The one-eyed "mudlr" and his accom
plice were arrested and remanded for
trial The court, in sentencing the im-petoi-
to five years in prison, gave him
the maximum penalty allowed by law.

Long-Lost Uncle's Millions Make
Poor but Honest Couple
Rich and Happy.
PARIS, Aug. lo.-(9peclal.)-Fortune
has smiled on a waiter in a local cafe
In the most unexpected manner. This
man left his native village years ago and
came ta Paris to struggle along as best
he couB. For a while it was an uphill
task, but eventually he got a place in
a good cafe, and aa he was steady he
was not dissatisfied. The other day he
was beguiling the time by reading the
advertisements in a newspaper, when,
to his surprise, he saw his own name
figuring In a notice Inserted by a lawyer
at Lyons. He would hear of something
to his advantage If he answered It, aa
he epeedllv perceived, for the simple rea
son that "a legacy had been bequeathed
his wife by a relative.
The waiter promptly wrote the lawyer
and In reply received a letter Informing
him of the death of a great-uncle of his
wife of whom she had retained a dim
recollection, and adding that the old man
had left all his property to her. He could
hardly believe the evidence of his eyes
when he read on to find that this was not
a mere matter of a few hundred dol
lars. While he had been toiling to keep
his head above water his wife's great
uncle had been amassing a goodly for
tune, and the lucky couple now find them
selves In possession of more than IS00,
.000. It Is scarcely necessary' to add that the
waiter has thrown his apron to the winds.
though he has no Intention of launching
Into extravagant ways. On the contrary,
he says that as he is still young, he in
tends to buy a business, and to devote all
his attention to It while hla wife re
members certain poor relations, whom she
will be only too glad to assist.- Tne
wealthy great-uncle has not, as it ap
pers, expired so recently. Ipdeed, accord
ing to one account he is said to have
died about 17 years ago, leaving behind
htm J300.000, of which the state took pos
session, aa no heir appeared. This cap
ital has since doubled, so that the tf0.

The old man. who is believed to have
been born In 1811. did seven years' fight
ing, in Africa, and liked the country o
well that he settled there. He expired,
in 1891 in Africa, having made his money
in agriculture. Being so far away he .
had neglected all communications with
his relations, who had virtually forgotten
