to pay half the interest on her bonds and
then fail even In that. Such state Of affairs con-
WINGED the humantarians that the creed OF Islam
was very debasing and It's professors not by any
means fitted to rule over Christian people who meet
their obligations. The unpaid half coupons stamped
poygamy as the crime of crimes and an empty
Treasury was the clcarcst indication Of cruel and
vindictive disposition, and accounted for the Pul-
garian atrocities. Now, what change Turkey is
the fowl OF fowls, the paragon of paragons.
HOW IT TO BE DONE.
have inst learned the manner In which the
money is to be got. The Grand vizier, Mdhat
Pacha, proposes, Germany supporting him, to erect
Roumania into an independent kingdom, with neu-
trail territory guaranteed, like Belgium. Roumania
under this plan is to redeem It's present annual
tribute by lump sum- which Is to be applied to the
reduction Of the Turkish debt at par by drawing
of prizes.
MIDHAT's OBJECTIVE POINT.
This is Mdhat's scheme by which he hopes to
secure European support for the new constitution.
1t is very smart. People who have money to invest
will be anxious to buy the bonds Of a steady going
State like Roumania, and any plan that looks like
getting money from the Turk will have good many
to favor it. Midhat, Of course, only proposes to
take money out Of one set OF pockets to put 1t
in another set, and none Of the pockets to be dc
pleted are to be in the Mussulman's apparel.
THE RUSSIAN BREAKDOWN.
While the scheme promises good deal those who
are for peace at any price look upon the general
breakdown OF the Russian preparations for war as a
d1spensation Of Providence The latest information
from the army of the Pruth describes the prevalence
of dysentery among the troops, who are also suffer
ing great privatons A spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION
has appeared, and the military outlook in South
western Russia is as gloomy as the most devout
Moslem could wish. The business interests OF
Russia are so demoralized that widespread bank
ruptcy is Imminent In view OF all these bad omens
the war fever is sensibly cooling.
