Tho candidate Intended to mil on thn nedroes llrnt, and did try to, but when ho arrived in front-of their meeting placo shortly after 8 o'clock they Haiti thoy weren't ready for him. Undismayed, Mr. Straus declared that he would como back when they were ready. Down on the East Side Air. Straus was aa usual snowed under by that peculiar Irrand of enthusiasm which spends itself In climbing over peoples' bucks so as to get near the policeman and receives gratis a nice big knock on the head to take back home as a souvenir. At. Clinton Hall. 15r Clinton street. Mr. Straus wan almost stripped of his clothing in trying to movo to and from his auto. The people nearest him In the orowd Insisted on grasping his coat and stroking him on the back In spite of delicute hintB from the police sticks. Throo women who attemote.l to reacli Mr. Ht raus were shoved back-into the Htruggllng miiss by a bluecoat who pressed his nightstick flatly ugalnt the women's uoses. The candidate's automobile creaked with the load of clinging humanity that it bore as it moved laboriously away from the. hall followed by a screeching crowd of admirers. "Air. Hlraus confined himself during the evening chiefly to protesting against any, appeal to the Jewish vote oi the ground that a candidate had done some thing for the Jews as a fclass. "It any one comes to you as a dema gogue and appeals for your vote on tho strength of his having served a class In Congress ho deserves defeat," the candi date told the East Siders. "The' mun is a demagogue who cannot bo trusted who tells you that he worked for you as Jews in bringing about the abrogation of the Kussian treaty. rl appeal to you no dilleretitly than I appeal to any one else. I want no one to vote for me fecauso of my religion, and I hope no one will vote against me on that account. ;My appeal for votes is based Uon my portion as an American citizen . 1 am entirely content with Americanism. I want for myself and will give to no one class any special privilege," Mr. Htruiu at all his meetings read a telegram received earlier in the dav from Roberf J. Noble, Jr., an up-State leader j of.- the .Empire Statu Democracy, which r;q as ioiiows: oviKpportb from Democrats over the m State, even in districts where thn Democratic vote is Mroimest. show con- Jluslvely that you will be elected Gov ernor. " At Lafayette Uall. e-8 Avenue D. the candidate said that the polls were to be watched to-day because "tho bosses are going to try and steal the election." "But this is going to Ihj n pure election." declared Mr Straus, "we're going to have Iltlnison the job and any one caught cheating will bo sent to Sing Sing " When tho candidate got to (oxr Union he found on the stage Joiah Strong, chairman of the meeting: (leorge v Kirchwey. Progressive r.-.ndidate for the State Court of Apieals; Comptroller William A Prenderga-t uml Aithur Hrisbane. The audience had been thoroughly provided witli American flags, and when they caught sight of th slight form of Mr. Straus they set to waving thcte flags with much vigor Vigorous also were their yells vigorous and raucous.

Interest here lu the American President litl elect loll to-tnori'ovv, which was for some time fairly sustained mid which received a llllip at the time nl ihu shooting of Col. Hooeveit at Mil waukee, has now (luiiulleil ton mlulinum. There nre two reasons for this. One is on account of despatches from America which generally represent tho election ns a sure thing for Oov. Wilson iind the other the intensified Interest in the war, or rather, now that the Turks are regarded as being down and out, in what Is going to follow the war. Ho long as the opinion was held here that the bullet which struck Col. Roose velt had a sentimental value which might turn the scale observers in England got more Interested than they ordinarily do in American Presidential contests, but when cables from America discounted this view something near apathy followed and editorial comment became scarce. Tile extreme Tory view represented by the Saturday Hrrleit is that (ireat llritalu's only concern In the election Is "under which administration are we 'toast likely to be cozened over the Panama Canal?" The Itevictp dubs Col. Koosovelt's plat form billy and wicked. The Hertew is convinced that the Southern States will not have President Taft and thinks that tho "Jionest radicalism" of ,flov. WIIboii gives him an excellent chance of election. At the opposite polo the Radical Xatian takes much the same view. It eees an element of futility and even dishonesty" in Col. lloosevelt's appeal to the prole tariat and believes that the recognition of this defection will help elect (Joy. Wilson. Tho Conservative Morntiu 'osi in stating that it expects a Democratic victory says it thinks this result will be due rather to tho iH'lief in Oov. Wilson's personal btrengtJi, prudence and dignity than to the popularity of the Democratic programme. The comment in the morning pa tiers Is practically unanimous that (iov. Wilson will le elected; but the possibility of a landslide to Col. Koosevelt is admitted. PERUVIAN RUBBER SCANDAL. KiimIkiiiI Unpen o .Securr llxtrnitU Hon of AllrHeil Murderer.

CITY OF SI'IjKXDII) I'AST Mosl, Advanced Modernism Now Crowds Ancient Oricntnl Survivals. New t-Mva the fa'l of Constantinople) In the hands of the Turks In 1153 has th impel lal city come so near being wrested from its Mohammedan musters us It has this w'(ek, When It is recalled that the llulgarlan name of Constantinople is "Tchurlgrad." or the city of the Czar, one may under stand with what feeling the sturdy soldiers marching towards it look upon this prize. No spot on the surface of the globe has been more ardently coveted at any time. Since the day when an adventurous band of Greek colonists first raised a hastily built stockado at the i-outhern entrance of the llosporus some twenty. live hundred years ago its situation has been considered tinlquo on account of combined advantages bestowed on its holders. Its strategic importance was con sidered until very recently Miperlor to that or uny similarly situated posi tion. A hundred years ago, immediately after the peace of Tilsit, tho F.mperor Alexander of ItiiSMla, while discussing the terms of the treuty over a large map of the world with Napoleon, who was then at the zenith of hi power, mude a special effort to Induce the French monarch to allow him to occupy the Sultan's cupltal. In vain ho liegged, offering any sac ritlee in return for the establishment or his residence on the shores of the Hosporus. He was willing to compromise In every direction provided he was per mitted to uttain this goal of his umbi tlon Napoleon looked carefully ut the map, then glancing back at his colleague is said to have exclaimed with an air of finality;. "Impos-iblel It is the mas tery of the world that goes with posses sion of this capital." Since then the city hns remained in tho bands of the Turks simply becaliso it was known that they wore incapable of taking advantage of its position. To day Its commercial importance gives it a particular prominence. Further more, it is soon becoming an important railroad centre, for It is here that all tho trnfllo between F.urope and Asia Minor, on its wny n 'ndla and further eust pos sibly, N destined to pass The city lies at the southwestern end of the Hosporus upon a promontory shooting out of the l.uropean shore or the stiaits ns though to stem the waters that riu.li from the Ulack Sea to the Mar mora. North tr It, the narrow bay or tho Golden Horn runs inland for borau six or seven miles. The harbor thus formed Is one of the (ineut in the woild. To the south, the sea of Marmora spreads like a lake, its Asiatic coast bounded by hills and mountains und fringed with irlands, Upon the Asiatic shore and facing the ear-tern side of tho promontory stands the historic town of Chrysopolis, or the golden city, which has now become a suburb of Constanti nople knovn by the name of Souturi. Thero is little to atttact the eye in the maiiilaii'l to the west, although in tho palmy days of the city it doubtler-it pte seiited u pleasing landscape of villas und gat dens. The promontory Iti-elf j about rotir miles long and irom one to four miles wide, witli a surlaco broken up into hills and trains. '1 he higher ground reuches an elevation of some 2W feet and it hab a long lidge which ovei hangs the Golden Horn. Here Mime or the most famous monuments of llyaiitlmn aro found. I.iko Home, Constantinople also boasted of its seven hills.' and it was on the first thul the famous church or St. Sophia was built. At tho dawn cr the Christian era the cl(y hail aheady acquired aworld wido reputation as a commercial centre. Some three centuries later Constuntine decided to transfer his capital Trout the hunks of the TiboV to the shores of the Ike-porus The, legend of the change is well known to all Greeks. According to It, when tho Kinperor arrived at Constantinople he found the then existing city to lie too small for his imperial conceptions. He determined to ineieaso it forthwith. Accordingly ho summoned his advisors and had them accompuny him lo deter mine on ila new boundaries. Leaving the city gates behind, the party 'started on a ciiouilou route the diuuieter of which appealed to be con stantly increasing. Some of the cour tiers, junaed ut tho daring of the Kinperor and fearing lest ho should undertake more than was feasible, eutuied to call his attention to tho fact that the ground they Iind ulready encompassed was more thun ample for a new capital. Constan tino, however, iiecordlng to and story, paid no heed to their words, tho merely pointed to a lonely star that bad ap peared suddenly, shining In tull day light, to the wonder of all present. Not until tho heavenly light, disappeared did tlielltst Kinperor of Uymntiiim stop, and then the foundets tealled that they had coveied an area about ten times greater than that occupied by the town. The history of this famous locality cannot Im understood unless the extraor dinary character of its geographical position is present to the mind, No city owes so much to its site. The I'lamotir or Constant Inoplo'a imperial might is rooted in lis lofation. Nowhero lias the influence or geography on hlstorv been so marked. H Is hero that the possi bilities or the rreest nnd widest Inter coiirso blond wl th the possibilities or complele isolation, Tho city in both out of the world and very much in it. It is the meetini; point or some of the most important highways on the globe, whether by sea or by land.

Within I lie streets the inexpressibly ugly features of the Tatar descended Trom sons of the Asiatic steppes tain bo seen in the same glance that is bestowed m the classic countenance or a Greek way farer. The nomad Arab from MeFopota mian valleys tuny be seen elbowing freely the well groomed t'ngllsh or French promoter stepping out of u motor car. As one emerges out of the subway that connects tho Guluta nnd I'era suburbs it is possible to meet tho Incongruous Hpeetnnlo of a cart driven by two bullocks. Upon the Hosporus Itself the most mod ern ferryboat over fashioned by twentieth century f kill may be seen stopping to allow the passage of a tiny Railing craft that is tho exact counterpart or the pic tures of Greet; boats represented on thir teenth century manuscrlpt-i The casuut si roller through the town, proceeding perhaps along an uenue tho beauty of which reminds one of Paris, may by n sudden swerve to right or left enter a narrow street which Tor filth and squalor might have been bodily trans ferred from a Moroccan town. At night just un a smartly uniformed policeman In par,scd one muy meet a few steps further u municipal watchman whose oriental costume und heavily shod cudgel brings up visions of medkuval insecurity. Ill five mibutes walk from Hobert College, the famous American seat of learning on the shores of the Hosporus, one can pass tho windows of a Tursish school house within w hich may beheard thetnonotonous chant or native students reciting the Koran as they sway tiieir bodies to and fro in ac companiment, just, as bus been done in every section of the Moslem world for well nigh twelve hundred years. The con trasts are ns unceasing us they ore diver sified. 'I he town Is divided in quarters, in which members of tho various creeds segregate in communities'. South of tho Golden Horn lies Stamboul, the Mohnthinedan rontre. It occupies the sito of ancient Dvvanliuin, remnants of the wullls of which can still be seen within tho groups or conrusedly dispersed buildings. 'I he section Is not only the heart of theTurkisk Ktiipiro but also of the Mohammedan world. Here, on the sito or the abode of Hyran tlue emperors, sultan after sultan lias erected pidacesnud mosques lu profusion and upliarently, Ine.xhaiistible lavishneKS. To-day the ancient home of these rulers has buen transformed Into u museum, within which some of the most exquisite expressions of tho senilis of Greek pagan ism nnil Mohammedanism are to bo found. South of this museum lies the world renowned Sublime Forte., the seat of the Turkish Government, 'this is an as semblage of buildings devoted to various administrative puroses, each depart ment being provided with one or more palaces, 'l he whole is ehcloi-od within a low wall surmounted by u railing, A number or gates lead to its interior. 'I he one facing the palace or the Sultan is u very elaborate jiroduct or Turkish art. It was used by the sovereigns when ever they came to attend a council or their ministers. Its name of "Halt-All," or the "Sublime Gate." has eventually been applied to the whole group of buildings, the French version being now universally employed. West of this hlstorio spot the famous dome of St. Sophia can lie distinguished uy uie two minarets wnicn name It, as well an by its bimnortim; buttnuox.

AMERICANS ARE MADE VICTIMS IN ART SALES Amusing; Case in London Over "Commission" for Senator Clurk's Piirclinses. HOW GAME IS PLAYED Tlif Collector Mndo to Believe "Priceless Trensures" Aro Henlly Priceless. Special Cable. Peipatch lo Tna Sen, London, Nov. 4. There wns an ! amusing case In the Law Courts to-day I beroro Lord Chief .Justice Alverton over a commission for a sale ol oiu masters to former United States Senator William A. Clark of Montana. A suit has been brought by Alfred Gcorse Temple, director of the Art Gallery of the Corporation of London, against Sir George Donaldson, a well known col lector, for S per cent, commission on 5740,000 supposed to havo been paid for tho old masters. At the opening of the case counsel stated that Mr. Temple In 1904 promised with the assistance of tho late Edwin A. Abbey, the artist, to Introduce Sir George Donaldson to Senator Clark and that Sir George had said that he hoped to get $1,250,000 for his (Donald, son's) collection from the American. A letter from Sir George Donaldson to Mr. Temple shows tho wiles of art deulers In an amusing light. It reads: "You have acted too uulokly. With American finance In Its present stata, wait until you hava your hare In theflsld and then start the dogs Clark waa to have come last time, but hadn't the time, h'opp or Old bond Street has his meaa ure. He is trying to get him to make an offer for my fljie Vun Dyke, but I antici pate failure, and If your letters had gona ut this Inopportune moment the Kama woojd have been given away. Hemeni ber that a blaso buyer only wants to hoy when the holder of fins thinca doea not wunt to sell, I'm a pluch'of salt on your bird's tall," Mr. Temple In his reply to this letter said among other things: "Abbey aays the tinanclal position In tho United States will ,jot make an atom of dif ference to Clark." Senator Clark arrived In the sum mer and saw the collection ot Sir George Donaldson twice and then re turned to America. About this Sir George In writing to Mr. Temple said: "It you make tho largest gain you ever dreamed of do not bo greedy, but insist upon Mrs. Abbey tnJUng a handsome Interest of what you moke." Senator Clark a little later agreed to make the purchases, paying $SGO,000 by Instalments or the whole sum Im mediately If he sold certain bonds. Sir. Tempi later on asked Sir Georso Don aldson for a list of his transactions with the Senutor. Sir George wrote In reply to the effect that ho had dined with Mr. Clark a short time before, when the Senator had declared that he (Temple) had no claim for commission, Mr. Clark, according to 81r George, drclurcd that ho had long known of the Donaldson collection himself and had Intended to call and sfe it. The intro duction by Temple waa therefore a farce and no business had been doner-until threo years afterward. The case was here adjourned for further hearing.
