2T the..Turkish variety is most insolent and exasperating, The helpless victim of one of these oriental jehus has only one op kion. when it comes to an issue and that 'Is, give up or defend himself as best he anay. On one occasion I am thinking of the cabman who had started in by force ito collect an excessive fare, met a recep tion he was not looking for, and since [that he has thought twice before he has attempted to practice extortion upon Americans of athletic appearance.

VMy friend has been killed by some 'stealthy hand from behind, or else shot (from a distance. And, furthermore, I do not believe they will ever catch the man, for there is no such thing as police or idetective work in Beirut. If driven, the (Turkish authorities may put to death some innocent nobody to satisfy Ameri cans. "Magelssen had made a name for him self in the consular service, and when I was there was hoping for advancement. He had received ' special commendatory mention for special services performed by him in providing data regarding conditions thruout Palestine. He was very thoro and painstaking in all his work.

FRENCHMEN ARE INTERESTED Are Awaiting America's Next Move Against the Porte. : Paris, Aug. 28.The assassination of i the American vice consul at Beirut at tracts much attention here, but no ln J formation has been received in official or 'other quarters concerning the details. The last Beirut report received at the foreign office was dated July T. As Beriut here tofore has been considered quite outside rthe range of Turkish disorders French of Iflplals say the gravity of the situation de 'pends on whether or not the shooting was done by a Turkish soldier which would make the case similar to the assassina tion of M. Rostkovski, the Russian consul a$ Monastir, which would warrant a l demonstration against Turkey similar to that made by Russia. Powers Won't Object. It is officially stated that if an American isquadron goes to Turkish waters the ac ition of the United States will not be re garded by France or the other European powers as having any political significance in connection with the eastern situation. It is' pointed out that the United States has always refrained from taking part in Balkan complications, the European pow ers assuming the burden of that question. A leading official likened the presenoe of an American squadron in Turkish wat ers to the demonstration made by the British and German warships in Venezue }kn waters, the purpose in each case be ing to command respect and enforce the :Ctjllection of demands, not having any connection with the general political con [Oitions. i Latest official advices received here i&ow that the Russian squadron which twas at Iniada, off the east coast of Tur ikey, was withdrawn to Sebastopol. where jit. is awaiting further orders.

Regular Plan. - t^Boston, Aug. 28.Letters nave been -re- vived here from persons at Monastir, European Turkey, indicating that the as sassination of the American vice consul, (.William C. Magelssen, at Beirut, on Sun- |fe.y, Aug. 23, just fifteen days after the assassination of the Russian consul. M. Bfostkovskl, did not surprise the English jgipeaking people there, as it was consid ered a part of a well-laid plan of Turkish iland owners to bring about a European Occupation of Turkish territory. ^ For a long time it has been understood 4nat the native proprietors, feeling that itheir investments were insecure under ?,Turkish rule, have been working to secure [foreign intervention and of late rumors of ft'plbt involving the assassination of con 'iSuls have been frequently heard. In fact, Reports had become so well grounded that jjthe consuls had considered the advisability jiOf asking their governments for national JlfuardSj but had delayed taking definite action to that end. /Investigation into the assassination of M. Rostkovski at Monastir, Aug. 8, has (shown that there is no reason to believe I that the Russian consul made any use of a (feme or revolver on the Turkish guard. A POLITICAL MURDER ffieri in Cable Ascribes Deed to Magels sen's Protection to Armenians.

'Thus he became a thorn in the side of the authorities.

Morrill visited W. C. Magels sen, the American vice consul assassin ated at Beirut, on his x*ecent oriental trip, and recalled his brief stay there this morning. Mr. Magelssen met him at the dock and extended him every courtesy. They visited together the American col lege. "Then," said Mr. Morrill, "we went to the German hospital with its fine build ings, beautiful shrubs and-flowers. "When I said good-by to him he said America had a warm place in his heart, and he wished he might accompany us in a visit home. He gave me a box of Smyrna figs and a tin can of 'Turkish delight"a sweet assorted confeotion. I pulled out the American flag and waved it as we left" and he took off his hat in its honor. "He was a genial, gentlemanly soul kind and dignified, and the 'deep damna tion of his taking off' should be avenged. "Minister Leishman at Constantinople should make instant and most thoro ex amination of all concerned in his murder. President Roosevelt did well to send Rear Admiral Cotton with the Brooklyn and naval squadron to back up our claims and dignity. "Dr. Parker of London once said, 'God dam the sultan,' and all thru my Holy Land and Asiatic trip I said 'Amen.' "God's kingdom will not come until America unites with England, Germany and Russia In putting Jealousy forever to one side, and placing the sultan out of power and establishing the cross where the orescent now sways." A FINE TYPE OF MAN Tribute to the Murdered Vloe Consul by Old Associate. Lauritz Larson, principal of the school at Buxton, N. D., who is in the olty on a visit, said to-day that he was well ac quainted with the murdered vice consul, having been with him in Luther college at Decorah, Iowa, and having kept up the friendship slnoe. Magelssen, he says, was a fine type of manhood and full of zeal in whatever he did. Mr. Larson thinks it quite probable that his energy in pushing American products in Syria may have aroused fanatical opposition among the peasantry and led to the homi cide. Magelssen comes from a fine old Norwegian family, and his father. Rev. K. Magelssen, has been pastor of a Lu theran flock at Bratsherg for thirty years. The murdered man, who was 28 years old, leaves, besides his parents, three brothers and two sisters. He always cherished a love for his alma mater, and when he came back to America a few years ago, presented to the college mu seum a fine oolleotlon of oriental curios which he had brought home with him. He was a man who made many friends but who never forgot old friends. London Hears About It. London, Aug. 28.The foreign office has received a dispatch from the British con sul at Belrout notifying the authorities here of the assassination of William C Magelssen, the United States vice and deputy consul at that place. No details are given and this, coupled with the fact that there have been no developments since the assassination was reported, leads British officials to conclude that no anti foreign uprising has occurred. Germany Kindly Disposed. Berlin, Aug. 28.A semiofficial state ment "published here concerning the mur der of the United States vice consul at giving the American government the full "Should Turkey ask the advice of the imperial government in this matter, the Imperial government would not" fail to impress on the former the necessity for giving the American government the wull est satisfaction."

New York Sun Special Servioe. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28.The na tional officers of the seven building trades unions, who met here to take preliminary steps to an amalgamation of the several organizations, have completed the work on a basis satisfactory to every one pres ent and have adjourned till Oct. 8, when another meeting will be held to perfect the amalgamation. The new organization will be known as the National Federation of Building Trades Union3, and will have a member ship estimated at 1,000,000. It was an nounced by those that took part in the preliminary council, that the organization of such a federation must not be taken as a movement against the two national bodies, the American Federation of La bor and the National Building Trades Council, with which some of the trades are . now affiliated. Statements made by members of the conference indicated that they believe a crisis Is at hand in the labor world, and that it is the duty of. organized labor to meet the proposed national employers' as sociation with one monster labor organi zation.

Gets Into Trouble Thru * Union Affiliations. - He Is OutProbahly Because He , Sought to Organize Native, Printers. New York Sun Speoial Servioe. - ~ Washington, Aug.. 38.Efforts on the part of labor unions to dictate to the offi cials of the war department and ,of the Philippine government have just come' to light. A year or more ago, when it was decided to set up an immense printing establishment in Manila, the bureau of insular affairs was called upon to furnish men, tp go to the Philippines and take charge-of the work in the office. The civil service commission was called upon to furnish the necessary number of men who would accept these positions, and twelve or more men were certified for appointment. They were all members of the Typographical Union, and this proved a stumbling block to a career in the Phil ippine service, as they decided that they were not to be employed as printers, but as instructors to the Filipinos, who would be put to work in the printing office as apprentices. Before aocepting the positions they con sulted with the officials of the union, and were told by the labor leaders that they could not under any circumstances violate the rules of the union, which provide that there shall be but one apprentice to every ten Journeymen in an office. As a matter of fact, the scheme of the organization of the Philippine government printing office contemplated the establishment of a huge industrial school and the use of printers as instructors of natives. Union Rule an Obstacle. This to the applicants was a violation of the rules of the union, and an effort was made to convince officials of the war department that this rule could not be violated. Not onlyr did the applicants themselves insist upon their rights as union men, but an officer the union named Dougherty also urged upon the war de partment that only union principles could prevail where union men were employed. Only the firm stand of Colonel Edwards convinced the printers that they must go to Manila as any other persons employed by the government and without any ves tige of unionism with them. The men wanted the places, and after another con ference it was agreed among them that they would obtain indefinite leave of ab sence from the union while they endeav ored to teach the Filipino how to set type and run the typesetting machines, which it was proposed to introduce. Private advices have now been received here that one of: the men, George Lacey,. who was made foreman, has' either been discharged, or has resigned because of his connection with the Typographical Union. While none of the. officials would say that he had heard of Lacey's trouble, the im pression among some of. them is that he may have undertaken to organize a union among the native printers.. .--. %, -.- .-.
