CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 29.
That only the speed In establishment
of a new Turkish ministry can pre
vent a break In tho ranks of tho
'Young Turjcs" diplomats Is the opln-liui-those
conversant with tbe "pres
ent sltustlou In Turkey.
The Turkish cabinet resigned late
yosterday following tho withdrawal
jmlnlatry and his later resignation.
TTilml Pnnhn'n withdrawal comes
close on recent attempts In the cham
ber of deputies to overturn the mm-
Istry, due, It Is cald, to tho deslro of
a majority committee of union and
progress to reconsider the accusa
tions against former Grand Vlzlor
Kiamlll Pasha, which they regarded
as unjust.
A division arnoug tho liberals may
glvo tho reactionaries an opportunity
to rogaln tho power they lost when
tho Young Turks succeeded In getting
control and overthrowing tho sultan,
Abdul Hamld.

agents, murderous polico force, dep
uties, Pinkertons, polieo and superior
court judges and other paid sluggers
havo entered into a conspiracy to

of Washington and tho United States.
"In pursuance of such conspiracy,
tho above named officials havo im
prisoned oyer 300 working rojn,.aid
women on n trumped up clinrge ot
disorderly conduct. The only crimo
that these workiugman nnd women

attempting to exert the right of freo
speech granted to them by the con
stitution of tho stato of Washington,
and tho United States.
