ODDS AGAINST TURK
Why the Sultan Hedged on His
Promise to France.
DEADLY FEAR OF CONSPIRATORS
Young: Turk Party Cutting an Im
portant Figure In the Pres
ent Situation.
Paris, Aug. 23.— The French govern
ment is thoroughly in earnest in its atti
tude toward Turkey and is fully aware
that at the present moment ■ no foreign
power would raise any objections to a
French fleet resorting to most drastic
measures. According to information that
has reached Paris, the real reason for the
sultan changing his mind and declining to
fulfill his promise was due to his hopes
that the obstreperous clamor of the na
tionalist party in France would induce M.
Delcasse, them mister of foreign affairs,
to disavow Constans. The sultan's great
objection to the French concession is that
If the Constantinople quays were under
the control of a French or other foreign
company there would be disquieting fa
cilities for the landing of conspirators
and their baggage. But Constans gave
the sultan the option of buying back the
dangerous quays by paying 41,000,000
francs for them within six months and
provided the porte with a scheme for
liaising the cash.
An important factor of the situation is
that the sultan is known to be in great
fear of the young Turk party, whose head
quarters are in France, and who have for
years been conspiring to get rid of Ab
dul Hainid. In fact, the sole duty of
Munir Bey, the Turkish ambassador in
Paris, for the last four y.ears has been to
watch these young Turks and to send
confidential reports to the Yildiz Kiosk
about their doings. Munir Bey just now
Is absent from France, but in case Con
•tans should decide to exert his authori
ty to break off diplomatic relations with
Turkey, one of the first steps of the
French government would be to inform
Munir Bey that he could not re-enter
France. Thereby thes ultan would be
kept in ignorance of the machinations ol
the young Turk conspirators and it is
thought that this would have on the
timorous but crafty character of Abdul
Mamid more effect than even a naval
demonstration. At all events the French
government has several other trump
cards up its sleeve to play before resort-
Ing to naval demonstrations or acts of
hostility, such as the seizure of customs
dues or bombardments.
FRENCH ULTIMATUM
Ambassador Constans Further Turns
tli«' Serewa on tlie Sultan.
Constantinople, Aug. 23.—The French
ambassador, M. Constans, to-day sent a
letter to the sultan personally, informing
him that he would leave Constantinople
with the entire staff of the embassy if
the matters in dispute were not settled
immediately. The letter is in the nature
of an ultimatum. It accords the sultan the
briefest time in which to comply with the
demands. .

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
DOCUMENTSALTERED
Fraud Said to Have Been Commit-
ted on Sampson's Behalf.
RECORDS OF SHIPS CHANGED
Attempt to Make It Appear That
Schley Bid but Little at
Santiago.
New York, Aug. 23.—A Washington
special to the Journal says "on authority"
with reference to recent consultations of
Admiral Schley's counsel:
First—That discoveries of great changes
have been made in the records of the ships
as they appear on the logs and as they appear
in the printed documents of the navy de
partment.
Second—This is notably true of the Vixen,
one officer of which, Lieutenant Harlow,made
notes during the fight. His report of the bat
tle while in progress is entirely different
from the record that is now on file at the
navy department. '
Third—ln looking over the navy depart
ment flies the Brooklyn is nearly always kept
out of the flre, while the notes which were
at the disposal of the navy department navi
gation bureau and which made Schley prom
inent have been suppressed.
Many important paragraphs bearing on the
matter at issue between Schley and Sampson
have been omitted, or published in such shape
as to indicate that they were edited for a
future purpose.
One of the strongest cases made out against
the department is that of the Vixen. The
value of the testimony of Lieutenant Harlow,
of this vessel, is that it> was put in shape
as the battle was going on. It has been
discovered that there is a report of this vessel
on tile at the navy department which differs
in very many essentials from the account
of the battle as made by Lieutenant Hallow,
who took the notes during the battle.
Admiral Schley's counsel are in possession
of both reports and they will be submitted
to the court. The report which the navy de
partment proposes to submit will probably
be repudiated by Lieutenant Harlow.
It is understood that the report giving a
true account of the tight contains a great
many passages which show, not only where
Schley was throughout the battle, but where
the New York was.
it is charged that the navy department re
port bring 3 Sampson into the fray from three
quarters of an hour to an hour before he
could possibly have come up with the Brook
lyn.
The navy department report was, therefore,
presumably prepared with special reference
to getting Sampson inio such position that
he might actually claim to have caught up
with the other vessels and be entitled to ac
tual command in the fight.
The genuine report of Lieutenant Harlow
says: "The Brooklyn at lo'o'clock was the
nearest vessel, and standing to north en
gaged leading two ships."
In another place it says: "The shells that I
went over the Brooklyn struck close ahead, j
astern and on starboard beam of Vixen, and j
several passed directly over, a piece of a
bursting shell going through the flag at
mainmast head." Again: "At 10:46 the
Brooklyn forged ahead from our point of
view. At 10:48 a shell from Brooklyn burst
apparently alongside of second vessel."
The latter extracts appear also in the navi
gation bureau report, but, possibly because
they were not considered very essential, the
greater part of the notes of Lieutenant Har
low have, however, been omitted, and In the
very respects in which they would have made
the Brooklyn and Schley appear in their
proper light.
It is understood that counsel will show, and
have the changed logs to prove it, that tha
effort was made thereby to bring Sampson
into the light long before there was a possi
bility of it, as by his own account he left
Santiago at 8:50 a. m. and could not possibly
have returned even at full speed, and have
been where he was alleged to be by these
new records.
Counsel for Schley will not make these
comparisons of records public until they go
to trial.
"Incident Closed."
Washington, Aug. 23. —At the navy de
partment the matter of the service of Ad
miral Howison on the Schley court of
inquiry is considered as a closed incident,
so far as the department is concerned,
and one which will be left to the consid
eration of the court itself. Mr. Hackett
stated to-day that he had not received the
reply which it is said Admiral Schley will
submit in regard to the action of the de
partment declining to refer the original
request concerning the Howison interview
to that officer for a statement.

WALKED AROUND AT WILL
SMALLPOX PATIENTS AT LARGE
"East End" at West Superior Ex
posed—County Judge's Fam
ily Quarantined.
Special to The Journal.
West Superior, Wis., Aug. 23. —Almost
every resident of the East End has been
exposed to smallpox. At least six per
sona affected with the disease in light
form have foamed around the streets as
usual. They have visited with people that
did not have the disease and have visited
with each other. There as been a great
deal of excitement at the East End over
the matter, as it is feared that hundreds,
if not thousands, of people have been ex
posed.
Private Paul Johnson, of Company, I, la
said to have either had the disease or to
have been, exposed and he is now at
Camp Douglas with the Third Wisconsin
regiment. When it Was learned that he
might have had it without knowing it, or
at least had been exposed, the health au
thorities immediately wired General
Boardman, and the man has been put un
der surveillance. Pour of the family of
John Morin are said to have had the
disease and to have associated with many
people at the East End. One has it now.
Mabel Hendrickson, a nurse girl at the
home of Judge D. E. Roberts, took the
disease and the family of the county judge
is now under quarantine. There is a gen
eral belief that the East End will have a
run of the disorder.

dering about the back alleys, and was
caught eating pieces of bread and meat
from the barrels at the rear of kitchens.
He was arrested and taken to the city
Jail, and after a few days was examined
and committed to the asylum at James
town. From the time of his arrest till
the day he died in the asylum, Aug. 15,
he never spoke a word. Apparently he
understood what was said to him, but
seemed utterly indifferent to everything.
He refused to eat anything aside from
bread and water, and appeared to spend
much of his time in silent prayer, moving
his lips but uttering no sound. When he
was arrested he was nothing but skin and
bones, and improved but little in this re
epect till the time of his death.
His identity is a mystery., There was
nothing found on Ms person that would
give the least clue, and when questioned
he would simply smile. He was not vio
lent at any time and was obedient, doing
whatever he was told to do without pro
test. He dressed himself without aid and
kept his porson clean at all times.
Judge Hassell has received notice from
Dr. Moore of the Jamestown hospital that
the man was taken sick on the 12th and
died on the Jsth. and was buried the day
following. While he was at the asylum
every known mean 3 was resorted to to
get him to utter a sound, but in vain, and
he died and was buried unknown to any
one. He was apparently a Scandinavian,
smooth faced, light complexioned and
about thirty-five years of age.

the ground that the paper was worthless
and that he had never ordered it. In sup
port of the former claim he introduced the
testimony of Joseph Meyer, late state oil
inspector under Governor Lee, who swore
that the paper was not only not worth $1
a year, but that Its character was such
that the person who was compelled to
read it was entitled to compensation for
the ordeal. The justice decided in favor
of Appel and taxed the costs against the
editor.
Large transactions in farm property in
this part of the state are attracting dealers
from different parts of the country and
two new real estate firms have been estab
lished here within the past week.
J. H. McCoy, republican nominee for
judge of this circuit, narrowly escaped
losing a sum of money to a burglar. He
was awakened by strange noises, but con
cluded the disturbance was created by
some member of the family. Before going
to sleep again, however, he removed his
pocketbook from his trousers pocket and
tossed it behind the bed. Next morning
he found his trousers in the yard with the
pockets turned inside out.
BELTRAMI'S LAND SALE
Best Held in That Section of the
State, Says Dunn.
Special to The Journal.
Bemidji, Minn., Aug. 23. —Auditor Dunn,
of St. Paul, held in Bemidji the most suc
cessful sale of state land in his estima
tion that has ever been hald in the north
eastern part of the state. It did not bring
as large an amount of money as other
sales, but considering the price an acre
for purely wild agricultural land in a
pine country and that the bidders were
. almost exclusively homesteaders who de
! sire to increase the extent of their farms,
the sale made a very creditable showing
for the new country of Beltrami. Some
land without timber sold as high as ?30
an acre, and the average price an acre
was about $5. The first payment
amounted to $5,000 and about 6,000 acres j
were sold.
An explosion in the Warfield electric
light plant demolished about $2,000 worth
of property and destroyed the larger
dynamo. A short circuit in the dynamo
caused the explosion. The 80-inch wheel
on the shaft flew into a thousand pieces,
tearing a hole through the roof and side
of the building. An extfa engine and
dynamo have been used to furnish light
for the business houses until a new
dynamo can be installed.
STATE DRAINAGE PLANS
Surveys for Canala in Norman, Polk,
Roseau and Marshall Counties.
Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Minn., Aug. 23. —Civil En
gineer George A. Ralph, in charge of the
work to be done by the board appointed
to expend the state drainage appropria
.tion, has made surveys of the four princi
pal canals to be built, and will submit his
report to the board at a meeting in St.
Paul early next month.
The four places at which the work will
be done are in the counties of Norman,
! Polk, Roseau and Marshall. One of the
| most important matters is the opening of
l the channel of Lost river, in eastern Polk
county. This involves the building of a
i drainage ditch through a swamp into Bel
j trami county five miles long, to unite the
| two beds of the stream, whereby several j
! thousand acres of land will be redeemed j
> and made productive.
The work in Roseau county consists in
opening a ditcn nine miles long from a
| point northeast of Badger to the Roseau
i river, while the condition in Marshall
[ county will be remedied by the digging of
I a canal five miles long, in range 44, to
; Middle river. Norman county will be
j benefited by the draining of a large tract
' in the townships of Good Hope and Shel-
I ly, the outlet being the Marsh river. Al-
S together the amount of canal to be dug
will aggregate twenty-six miles, and bids
for the construction will be advertised for
; as soon as Mr. Ralph's report is submit
j ted. The work will cost more than !t
I would in ordinary years, owing to the
high price of labor, but Mr. Ralph is
confident that the appropriation will be
sufficient to dc the work this year.
EPIDEMIC OF CRIME
CitizenH' Movement at Sioux City to
Check Home-Breaking.
Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, lowa, Aug. 23.—An epidemic
of robberies has set on foot a movement
to organize a citizens' committee to pre
serve peace and protect the homes in the
residence part of the city which have been
visited of late almost nightly by
burglars. Within the last sixty days
twenty burgraries have been reported
and many more have not been reported.
Many attempts at housebreaking have
been made and the attempt this we,ek to
hold up Dwight Tolerton, son of 0.. O.
Tolerton, a wealthy wholesale grocer, set
smouldering indignation blazing.
The ordinary police protection is one
officer to every 1,000 of population, but
here there are now but eleven officers and
a population of about 40,000. The homes
of the city have not, it transpires, been
patroled at all, and now the citizens pur
pose to take the matter into their hands
and either force the city administration
to swear in a score of special police to
protect their homes, or do the protecting
themselves in a summary manner.

Rich Returns for a
Reasonable Investment
"Seven years ago," said a gentleman, "I purchased of your
firm (theu Dyer Bros., of Minneapolis) a new Ivers & Pond
piano. Two years later our daughter, who was the musician
of the family, married and moved to her new home in a distant
state, leaving the piano with us, and except for an occasional
visitor who played, it has stood in our reception room simply
as a piece of furniture up to six months ago. When I noticed
your advertisement of the Pianola and became interested in
what you claimed fur it, and after investigating decided it was
what I wanted, and we find that the Pianola not only plays the
piano, but it is an instructor in the interpretation ot difficult
parts, phrasing, tempo, expression, etc. Instead of my piano
standing idle for weeks and mouths at a time for lack of a
musician, now every member of the family can play it. The
$250 investment for a pianola is of small account when I con
sider the rich returns it brings to my family."
The above statement is but one out of scores of similar
ones we might refer you to.
You are invited to hear the Pianola play the piano. A
call need not imply a purchase.

Easy for Judge Junei.
Special to The Journal.
Canton, S. D., Aug. 23.—1t now seems proh
able that Judge Jotes of this circuit will
have no opposition from Liucoln county when
the convention meets in Carton on Aug. 29.
The leading politicians, the lawyers and the

lawyer, who contends that to give the Judge
a third term of six years in addition to the
eight years that he has already served, is too
much.—The Lincoln county teachers' insti
tute in session here has now a large attend
ance than ever before recorded. The en
rollment is 151. Professor O. W. Nash of
Yankton is conductor.

dying.
