Ismail Kiamil Pasha Man Who
Broke Sultan's Power.
FATHER . OF REVOLUTION
Albanian Christian Converted to
Moslem Faith Engineered Plot
From Exile in Macedonia.
' . Well Known In London.
LONDON, 'Aug. 22. (Special.) Whose
was the invisible hand that organized
the Young Turkey revolution which was
met with such complete and sudden suc
cess? The question has been continually
asked and can be answered with cer
tainty. The man who brought freedom
to Turkey Is Ismail Kiamil Pasha. Al
banian Christian by birth, Moslem by
conviction. He is 65 years old, son of an
ancient family and has lived for years in
exile in England. During the revolution
his headquarters has been at Serres. in
Macedonia. There he plotted and planned
and thence he dispatched his orders to the
officers of the army of reformers he had
brought under his sway. The first strands
of the web of revolt were spun from Lon
don and Paris, in both of which cities
Kiamil Pasha is well known.
At 17 Kiamil entered the Turkish gov
ernment service In a subordinate capac
ity, but by assiduity and perseverance
attained the position of second secretary
to the Imperial Ottoman Embassy in Lon
don;., After remaining In England some
two or three years he returned to Turkey
and was created a Councillor of State.
Then came the Transvaal war and Kia
mil, accompanied by about 20 others,
went- to the British Embassy and made
prayers for the success of the British
arms. News of this ceremony was quick
ly carried to the palace by a spy. Kismll,
however, was raised to the rank of pasha
and appointed Governor of Tripoli.
Kiamil considered this to be merely an
attempt to hoodwink him and determined
upon flight from Turkey. But he knew
that he was watched. Accordingly he ac
cepted the appointment and ostensibly
made preparations to depart to Tripoli.
At that time he had a house at Arnaut
keui on the Bosphorous, and also occu
pied rooms in Pera. One evening in May
about nine years ago, he having paid
some visits In the city, instead of going
home, went to. his rooms in Pera, and
carrying a light into his bedroom, pulled
down the blind and commenced to go
through all the ceremony of disrobing as
If he were retiring to rest, taking good
care that his shadow should be thrown
upon the blind. The police who were
watching, carefully noted all this and be
lieved he was safe for the night.
About 1 A. M., however, Kiamil
emerged from the house, completely dis
guised, and walked up to Taxim, where
a carriage was in waiting, which drove
him to a small landing place near to Ar
nautkeul, where a boat manned by Eng
lish marines was awaiting him. In this
boat he was rowed to the English guard-
ship and three days later was taken to a
British steamer bound for London.
STOP MEADOWING SALES
Irish Nationalists Resort to New
Form of Violence.
DUBLIN, Aug. 22. (Special.) A new
form of agrarian violence is reported
from County Meath, where recently sales
of meadowing on lands coveted by the
peasantry.- have been boycotted and in
tending purchasers have Been inumi
dated. After an abortive sale on the
Williamatown estate last week, auction
eers engaged a number of men to cut the
meadows in the adjoining property, which
is held by the representative body of the
Church of Ireland. Monday when they
went to work, horns were blown and a
large crowd collected. It was found that
wire had been laid in some of the mead
ows, and one of the machines was dam
aged. The auctioneer withdrew the men
before the arrival of the' police reinforce
ments who had been sent for, and the
meadows remain uncut.
On Thursday last the same auctioneers
advertised another sale of meadowing
for the representative church body at
Newton, Moynagh, near Trim. Before
the day of the sale the local branch of
the league passed the following resolu
tion:
"That we call on every one to refuse to
take meadows on the church body ranch
at the coming auction, and call on every
Nationalist in this and the surrounding
districts- to follow in the footsteps of the
brave men of Kilbeg and assemble in
force on the day of sale and make a
strong protest against the letting."
When the auctioneer arrived to carry
out the sale only 10 policemen pere pres
ent. There were no bidders, and the
meadowing remains unsold.
AVERT CLASH ON BORDER
French and German Officers Cool
headed In Serious Emergency.
PARIS, Aug. 22. (Special.) War be
tween Germany and France was averted
by the coolheadedness of French and Ger.
man army officers in a dramatic frontier
episode which Is reported from Lunes
ville. Two German army corps are en
gaged In maneuvers near the border, and
yesterday morning a battalion of French
Rifles, marching out from Rambersvillers,
approached within SO yards of the frontier
and suddenly found itself face to face
with a German regiment which was
drawn up at an equal distance on the
other side.
The troops stood looking at each other
for a moment without uttering a word or
giving vent to an explanation, and then
their respective commanders simultane
ously ordered them to face round, and
they were soon at a prudent distance
from each other.
A fine Illustration of military discipline
was given on both sides, as a cry might
have been the signal for serious trouble.
ceased so that the letter may fall into
the hands of the executors expressing
gratitude for past kindnesses and stat

very considerable amount by the pro
duction of what appears to be bars or
bricks of "solid gold."
Recently a number of cases in this
Ingenious fraud have been known of
of which the following are a selec
tion: A widow was about to leave for
America with $20,000 to develop the
mine but her bankers succeeded In
stopping her.
Executors of a Portsmouth man were
communicated with by ''D. C. Hay
man," of New York but they kept
clear of the fraud.
A Kingston-on-Thames firm of so
licitors reported a case where $125,
000 worth of gold was to be shared.
A lady was offered half share In a
mine on condition that she paid $35.
000 In cash. Her bankers, however,
saved her money, for upon withdrawing
such a large sum, she narrated the
story.
A short time ago a case was reported
in which a man left for America with
a large sum of money to pay to the
swindler. His friends discovered the
fraud Just after he had left and a
cablegram saved his money.

SORT OBEYS BLUE LAW.
OLD GAME STILL , WORKS
Scotland Yard Forced to Warn
Against Gold Bricks.
LONDON, Aug. 22. (Special.) The
Criminal Investigation Department at
Scotland Yard has issued another warn
ing against the "gold brick swindle."
Scotland Yard, describing the fraud in
its warning says the scheme "usually
begins with a letter addressed to some
person of property and lately ae-
Queer Compromises Result From
. Vote on Rigid Enforcement
of Ordinances.
LONDON, Aug. 22. (Special.) At
Blackpool, a seaside resort not 60 miles
from Manchester, the thorny problem
of Sunday amusements has been settled
with some curious compromises. The
question of Sunday trams was put to
the vote; the majority of the electors
of the borough, which comprises the
greater part of the town, voted against
Sunday trams, while the majority of
the electors of the district council,
which governs the smaller part of the
town voted for them. Consequently,
anyone who takes a Sunday tram
through the borough to the district
council area gets a free ride for the
trams must pass through the borough
on their way.
Again, public motor-cars are not al
lowed to ply for hire on Sundays on
the Marine Drive, but horse wagon
ettes do so on the promenade. Yachts
and rowing boats are not allowed on
the marine lake, but excursion steam
ers and yachts do business at the end
of the pier. The strangest compromise
Is in connection with the municipal
open-air band, which now plays on
Sunday nights.. Some of the pieces
played are sacred and some secular;
the many-colored "fairy lights" which
usually enliven the gardens and boule
vards are- conspicuously absent; no
coffee, chocolates or cigarettes are soia
bv the attendants, although the pro
gramme-boy is still trading; there is
no interval, and "Uod save tne n.ing
is omitted at the end of the perform
ance. Last Sunday the "Hallelujah Chorus"
was substituted, the audience standing
up with uncovered heads. Finally, the
town clock does not strine on ounuay
nights.
KING OF SPENDTHRIFTS
English Baronet , Rescued From
Ruin by Bankruptcy Court.
LONDON, Aug. 22. (Special.) Some re
markable stories of. extravagance are
contained in the report of the Inspector-
General in Bankruptcy for 190". In one
case the debtor, a baronet, became entl
tied to $244,390 a year in 1886, when he was
24. In a short time he was charging his
life estate and effecting policies as se
curity for loans until in 18 years he owed
$2,245,000 thus secured, while his unsecured
debts amounted to over fZ.).wo. i he
life policies were 373 in number for a
total of $2,392,500. To extricate him from
his embarrassment relief from Parlla
ment was sought, and an act was passed
In 1904 empowering the trustees to buy his
life estate and policies, pay his unsecured
debts, and make him a suitable allow
ance. His expenses, however, again
greatly exceeded his income, and at the
date of the receiving order he owed iiu,
000 unsecured.
In another case the debtor on reaching
the age of 25, shortly before his bank
ruptcy, came into a fortune of $2,235,000,
on which, at the date of the receiving
order, he had created charges exceeding
$2,150,000. A solicitor who failed for $350,-
000 was the sole representative of a firm
of a hundred years' standing. Not con
tent with his professional Income, about
$7500 a year, he speculated heavily on the
Stock Exchange. Having squandered his
own money and all that he could borrow
or that came under his control as solici
tor or as trustee, he absconded. The ad
mitted proofs Include $265,000 for money
misappropriated.
One debtor, on attaining his majority In
1899. inherited over $l,42o,000, subject to
certain family charges. On leaving Eton
he owed $15,000, and on his 21st birthday
his debts amounted to $175,000. His In
come was $35,000 a year, but he spent
$125,000. His failure was due to extrava
gant living, financing impecunious
friends, extortionate rates of interest.
and losses on the turf.
TARGET RECORDS ALL HITS
Lord Cromer Hypocritical To
ward Age Pensions.
DRAWS BOUNTY HIMSELF
Commoner's Pertinent Question De
velops Fact That Majority of
Peers Who Opposed Bill En
joy Government Pap.
LONDON, Aug. 22. (Special.) Lord
Cromer, it seems, was not in the strong
est position to identify himself advan
tageously with the opposition to the Old
Age Pensions bill. Mr. Crooks' question
In the House of Commons must have
been a painful reminder to him of this
fact. Mr. Crooks suggested that, as Lord
Cromer had received a gratuity from the
state of $250,000, his pension of $3500 a year
for the same service should terminate at
the same time 1916 as he proposed that
the Old Age Pensions bill should cease to
operate. The opposition were, of course,
horrified at this irreverent tu quoque.
But it hit the mark all the same, and
sheds an appropriate light on Lord Cro
mer's desire to get as much as he pos
sibly can In the shape of pensions and
gratuities out of the state while refusing
the aged working people the paltry al
lowance of $1.25 a week.
It is curious that neariy all the peers
who were particularly hostile to old age
pensions were themselves pensioners. Lord
St. Aldwyn had $10,000 a year political
pension until he received its capitalized
value In the shape of an arbitration fee
In connection with the litigation over the
Singapore docks. Lord Balfour of Bur
leigh Is the actual recipient of a pension
of $6000 a year for so-called services to
the state which would not earn him $500 a
year from the most generous private em
ployer. Lord Hals-bury enjoys a pension
of $5000 a year, having actually drawn
$875,000 in salary from the government
during his career.
NEW GOLD REEF IS FOUND
operated by Electricity.
LONDON. Aug. 22. A new recording
electric target has just been perfected by
an Australian engineer, Sydney Rose. The
failing of the targets at present used Is
that bullets which strike large areas of
the target are all recorded alike so that
the records can only be approximate.
The new target gives an electric
record of th'e exact spot at which the
bullet hits It. The target is only used
once and Is then wound up on a roll.
As the punctured paper passes over
a set of electric fingers a contact is
made through the hole which Immedi
ately causes the recorder to show where
the puncture is located. ' .
Another target, says the Electrical
Review, has been perfected by the same
engineer for recording the number of
shots on a six-foot target used for
volley practise or rapid firing.
Rich Strike Reported Near Jame
son's Sprint, South Africa.
CAPE TOWN, Aug. 22. (Special.) It is
reported that an important gold discovery
has recently been made near tl spot
where Dr. Jameson had his first skirmish
with General Cronje at the time of his
famous raid. Encouraged by the finds
of two prospectors in the neighborhood,
a syndicate recently acquired some 60
claims, embracing the whole of tho
ground from Jameson's spruit to the
Zeerust Railway line, and systematic and
intelligent search has brought to light a
reef, believed to be the West Reef, -which
yields surprisingly good assay values.
Samples taken from the top shows that
the casing Is of sandstone, with a body
of quartzlte. There Is visible free gold
In the hanging wall, and the panning of
samples taken haphazard from different
parts has yielded good results. Tho reef
is now fully exposed, and has been traced
over the property, and the assays made
by one of the experts of the Randfontein
estates Justify the the optimum of the
membprs of the syndicate, who believe
they have "struck It rich," and that the
small man with his battery can make the
ground yield handsome returns.
OPEN NEW RUBBER FIELD
Belgian Capitalists Get Concessions
In Angola From Portugal.
LONDON, Aug 22. (Special.) There Is
about to be a new development in the
supply of rubber. The Portuguese pro
vince of Angola, though rich in forests of
the rubber tree, is a source of annual
loss to the government of Portugal, ow
ing chiefly to failure of capital to work
the forests, and the formidable competi
tion of the Congo. The Portuguese gov
ernment has determined to make an ef
fort to secure something from the great
riches In rubber of Angola. It has ac
cordingly accepted the offer of a group
of Belgian capitalists who have applied
for a concession to work the district of
Lunda. the richest part of Angola, and
situated on the border of the Congo.
The Belgian financiers offer to halve
the profits with the Portuguese govern
ment, and further pledge themselves to
export all their rubber by the port of
Lunda.
PEOPLE QUEER MIXTURE
Macedonia Potpourri of AH Nations
of Orient.
LONDON. Aug. 22. (Special.) It
will be interesting to see the results
of the vote in Macedonia under the
new Turkish constitution, if the boon
ever spreads so far. For no one knows
how the population of that blessed
province is made up. A Servian news
paper says that there are 990,000 Serv
ians In it. 180.000 Albanians, 75,000
Turk 8, 47,000 Greeks and 10.000 Jews;
whereas a Greek paper coolly declares
that there are 600,000 Greeks, 250,000
Albanians, 150,000 Turks, 60,000 Serv
ians and 9000 Jews, and If the Bul
garians had the counting the results
would be still more extraordinary.
The solution of the Macedonian ques
tion is like the one propounded In the
United States many years ago for use
between the Irish and the negroes:
every Servian should kill a Greek, and
be hung for It.
Princess Good Democrat.
LONDON. Aug. 22. (Special.) During
her latest Impromptu visit to the Franco
British Exhibition, the Princess of Wales
went for a gondola trip on the lake.
Among the other passengers was a man
who, unaware of the Princess's identity.
carried on a lengthy conversation with
her, at the same time puffing away con
tentedly at a large briar pipe. Her
Royal Highness chatted amicably with
the stranger and seemed thoroughly to
appreciate the opportunity of a discus
sion which was not "toned down" to the
extent it would have been had the
stranger known with whom he was con
versing.
