The Sultan SfFa&ksy.

A correspondent who has Just res
turned from Turkey, and who had occa-,
sion to be brought in contact With the.
Sultan and many of his ministers, states,
that the Commanabfl flosEhs Feit@ul 81.
without exception, the most utterly
faithless scamp in his d6mitioa$ When
ever he appoints q minister, he says to
him: "You must, find means to resist
ali demands for reform, and your tenure
Of Office will depend upon the length, of
time that you can do this without com
promising me. Eventually, the An,bas.
sadors will complain of you, when /
shall pretend to be most indignant at
your not having carried out my policy,
and shall sacrifice you for having de-
ceived me-" The Sultan is the son of
an Armenian mother, and it is generally
supposed that his real father was also anl
Armenian. He is neither asdrunkard
nor q 'oluptuary, and although by no,
means an able man, he has a considera-
bic amount of dow eunHihgs He is be.
He'ed 10 Ce accumuiatlrlg consldera-
bic sum, for, although the finances Of
his country are ina desperate condition,
taxes do come in, and yet neither the
army nor the civil employees are paid.
The sole hold, of the Sultan over his
subjects is tnat he is the head OF their
religion. The only man who Ican COM
pete with him for this position is the
nhereef of Mecca The last Shereef was
an ambitious man., and it is believed
that he was assassinated in consequence
OF orders recei ,ed from Constantinople.
The present Shereef is a young man,
and the assassination OF his predecessor,
has aroused much feeling in his behalf.
Throughout Arabia aud in Syria the
Turks Of Constantinbple are detested,
and it would be sound policy to en-
courage the separation Of Arabia and
Syria from Turkey Were these two
countries independent Of the Turks, the
Eastern Question would be solved, and
the Empire of the Sultan in Europe
would eventually collapse.

Checks inSTown.

On Thursday morning tall man with light
hair, light complexion, and mustache, called
at Deane Brothers furniture warehouse on
Exchange street. and asked to look at parlor
furniture. After inspecting several sets he
SAID he would go up to Corey's and if he fonnd
nothing better than set to which he had TAX
en- fancy at Deane's he would return for it.
ABOUT $50 p m. he came back and said he
guessed he would take the selected set. In
payment he offered a check for S165, on the
First National Bank of Lewiston, drawn in
favor of James S. Doughty-which the stran-
ger gave as his name-and apparently stamped
with the rubber stamp of that bank, and GER
titled by the cashier. Mr.. Deane asked the
man if anybody could identify him as he dis
liked taking check from stranger. Mr..
Doughty Immediately fared up and said eff
Deane didn't like the check the goods could
be bought elsewhere" Mr.. Deane then took
the check and handed over in change for the
bill for the furniture-which amounted to 500
"a check on the First National Bank of this
city for $50, and SIS cash. The man did not
seem to like taking a check himself, but ac-
cepted it.
Yesterday morning Mr. w. e. Gould, cash
Ter OF the First National Bank of this city
sent the Doughty check to the First National
Bank of Lewiston and received answer that
the check was forgery. The officers are now
looking for Mr.. Doughty with the pale hair
and moustache, the scowling forehead and
downcast eyes.

the pistol missed fire and the cylinder, in some
way, dropped to the ground. Officers Burn

THE TELEPHONE.
National Bell Telephone Co., State of
Maine.

The National Bell Telephone Company,
from whom the Maine company has received
its contracts, have acquired from the Western
Union Telegraph Company all patents owned
and controlled by them and all other patents
relating to or connecting with the National
Bell Telephone Companies throughout the
United States. 1t will be borne in mind that
the National Bell Telephone Company CON
structs all telephones throughout the United
States. The Maine company has received its
charter from the Legislature and organized as
follows:
President George P. Wescott.
Vice President and General Manager
Charles B. Gardiner.
Secretary and Treasurer-Franklin j. Rol-
Inns.
Directors-The officers and Payson Tucker,
Ferguson Haines, Henry S. Osgood, and one
remaining to be filled.
The new company will have their quarters
in the Merchants Exchange block, third story,
occupying the whole floor on the lower side
The rooms are now being remodelled to afford
the company elegant and spacious quarters
1t is proposed to have an arrangement by
which parties at a distance not able to hire a
telephone alone can use it and pay for the tenn
porary use. Thus at the Cape Cottage, Ocean
House and Atlantic House, for instance, the
guests could have communication with the
city and the messenger boys of the company
would deliver the messages at once 1t is also
intended to have an arrangement by which
subscribers on the regular circuit of the city
i which covers some ten Or fifteen miles can
by furnishing small extra compensation,
talk with business or personal friends at Au-
gusta, Lewiston, Bath, Bangor and else
where.
Mr.. Gardiner. the manager, is Boston man
was the builder of the Boston & Maine extern
sion into Portland, for j. p Austin & Co.
He is man quick, energetic, determined and
who will put the company on strong footing.
Already there are 50 subscribers waiting for
telephones, and the company will be ready for
business next week.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Resolutions Favoring Reciprocal Trade
with Canada.

AT special meeting of the managers of the
Board of Trade yesterday, the annexed resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolced, That the Portland Board of Trade
reiterates its oft expressed desire for a treaty
that shall provide for reciprocal trade between
the United States and the Dominion of Cana
da, on broad and comprehensive basis.
Resolued, That this Board, believing the
most direct and practical method of dealing
with this question of reciprocal trade is through
competent commission, it hereby cordially
approves and endorses the basis for such COM
mission, introduced by Hon. Leopold Morse of
Massachusetts,, and desires to urge that Con-
gress will give this subject, at the earliest date
practicable, such consideration and action as
its Importance entities it to receive, and also,
that it will provide for the appointment of
such a commission to investigate the present
condition of trade between the United States
and Canada, and its future prospects.
The new national bankrupt bill prepared by
Judge Lowell was examined in general way
and in the main appeared to be quite satisfac-
tory yet it was thought that some points
might, in the opinion of this Board, be amend
ed or modified upon more careful considera-
tion. The Board adjourned to Monday,
March %, when opportunity will be given for
a full expression of opinion on this important
matter.
