American Vessels.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May THE American
squadron in the Mediterranean have arrived at
Tenedets. Admiral Baldwin, its commander, tel
e~graphed the American minister, Gen. Wallace,
his intention to come to Constantinople, and the
announcement has created a sensation in gov
eminent circles. Assym Pasha, one of the Min
listers of State. informed Gen. Wallace that the
trades permit the Porte to stop American ships
at the Dardanelles, as America did not sign the
treaty of Paris, which regards the Dardanelles
as a free sea. 1t is doubtful whether Gen. Wal
lace will ask fora flrman to permit the passage
of vessels.
The Ottoman minister at Washington has
protested against a bill before Congress, which
claims that American consuls in the Turkish
empire have jurisdiction over all cases to which
Americans are parties; other nations, he pointed
out, claim consular jurisdiction only when both
parties to the dispute are its own subjects,
while America wished to extend it also to cases
in which one party was an Ottoman subject.
The Porte will not recognize Americas claims in
this regard.
Another dispute was created by Americas
official Endorsement of Wallace's views in de-
nunciation of the treaty of which the
Porte made in 1888 as invalid.
General Wallace has renewed his protest in
regard to the petroleum stores, which is now
made more powerful by the strong protest of
Russia.

Wha Is Known of the Dispute in Washing
ton.

W~AsHINGToN, May THE attention of Sena-
tablish consular and other courts, and to define
their jurisdiction, was called to-day to an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Constantinople, stating
that the Ottoman minister at Washington had
protested against that bill, and that the Porte
would not recognize the views of America on
the subject. He said he had not heard of any
protest, and that if one had been made it was
doubtless based upon a misapprehension. The
measure was designed to secure to American cit
liens everywhere trial for ~offenses in &C
cordance with the principles which obtain
at home, in place of the present irregular and ar
bitrary methods. He expressed the hope that
the bill, which was now on the Speakers table
in the House, would be acted upon during the
present session. Its importance could not be
overestimated.
Congressman Hit, of Illinois, who has charge
of a similar measure pending before the House
committee on foreign affairs, said the original
treaty with Turkey was framed in 1880, and the
document. which was submitted to the Senate
for ratification, conferred ample iurisdic-
tional powers upon American minis
tiers and consuls in criminal cases
to which American citizens were parties.
but when that power was sought to be exercised
thirty years ago. the Turkish authorities made
the point that the Turkish version contained no
such provision. A discrepancy appeared to
have grown out of the translation of a certain
Turkish word. This, Mr.. Hit assumed, was the
basis of the Ottoman ministers protest in the
case at Smyrna, which arose under the treaty.
1t was found impossible to reconcile the con
ticts Of jurisdiction, and the alleged criminal
was placed in jail, from which he escaped dur
ing the night, both parties conniving at it as the
only way out of the ENHANCEMENT.

Southern Confederacy.
LONDON, May Judah P. Benjamin, the
distinguished lawyer and advocate and

to Savannah. Ga. in 1916. He entered Yale Col
lege in 1925, but left without graduating. In
1881 he went TO New Orleans, studied law, sup
porting himself by teaching; was admitted to the
bar in 1884, and rose rapidly to a high position
nent as a politician, attaching him
self to the Wing party. In 1852 he was chosen
to the Senate of the United States, where he
soon allied himself with the Democratic party,
in consequence of the action of the two parties
on the slavery question. In 1859 he was re-
elected to the Senate, his colleague being
John Slidell. On December II, 1860, in
adhesion to the Southern cause, and on Feb. 4 he
withdrew from the Senate, and was at once ap-
pointed Attorney7genera1 In the provisional gov
eminent of the Confederacy. In August he was
appointed acting Secretary of War, but re
signed in February, 1862, on account of having
been censured by a congressional committee.
He stood high, however, in the confidence of
jefferson Davis, and was appointed Secretary of
State, which position he held until the downfall
of the Confederacy. He then took up his resi-
dence in London, England, where he entered
successfully into the practice of the legal profess
sion, in which he became one of the most emf
nent lawyers in the kingdom.

Useful Precepts.
First catch your lover.

First catch your lover.
Hold him when you have him.
Don't let go of him to catch every
new one that comes along.
Try to get very well acquainted with
him before you take him for life.
Unless you intend to support him,
find out whether he earns enough to sup
port you.
Don't make up your mind he is an
angel. Don't palm yourself off on him
for one either.
Don't let him spend his salary on you;
that right should be reserved until
after marriage.
If YOU have any conscientious scruples
against marrying man with a mother,
say so in time that he may either get
rid of her to oblige you, or get rid of
You to oblige her, as he thinks best.
IF you object to secret societies and
tobacco, it is better to come with your
objections now than reserve them for
curtain lectures hereafter.
If your adorer happens to fancy a
certain shade of hair, don't color or
bleach yours to oblige him. Remember
your hair belongs to you and he doesn't.
Be very sure it is the man you are in
love with, and not the clothes he wears.
Fortune and fashion are both so tickle it
is foolish to take stylish suit for better
or worse.
If you intend to keep three servants
after marriage, settle the matter before
hand. The man who is making love to
you may expect you to do your own
washing.
Don't try to hurry up proposal by
carrying on Irritation with some other
fellow. Different men are made of differ
ent material, and the one you want
might go off in fit of jeolously and
forget to come back.
If you have love letter to write, do
not copy it out of Letter Writer"
If your young man ever happened to
consult the same book he would know
your sentiments were borrowed.
Don't marry a man to oblige any third
person in existence. 1t is your right to
suit yourself in the matter. But re-
member at the same time that love is
blind, and little family advice from
one whose advice is worth having may
insure you life time of happiness, or
prevent one of misery.
In love affairs always keep your eyes
wide open, so that when the right man
comes along you may see him.
When you see him you will recognize
him, and the recognition will be mutual.
If you have no fault to find with him
personally, financially, conscientiously,
socially, morally, politically, religiously,
or any other way, he is probably perfect
enough to suit you, and you can afford
to
Believe in him;
Hope in him;
Love him;
Marry him

Another Penitent Thief.

The most persuasive of the "Eviden-
ces of Christianity" is the fact that it
makes good men out of bad men. What
reply can the honest doubter make to
this fact? There is now working in
New York City a successful philanthro-
pist, who, five years ago, was one of the
most expert thieves in the country. He
was made what he is by the Christian
religion.
His mother was an abandoned wom-
an and his father a thief. Born in the
atmosphere of crime, he took in the art
of stealing with his mothers milk.
Training and an acute mind made him
a place among the most successful
thieves. This so gratifed his depraved
ambition, that during forty-six years he
devoted himself to crime Thirty-six
years he lived in prison. He was an old
acquaintance to the wardens of Black
wells Island and Sing Sing.
"WeIl keep your cell warm for you.
Mike, for six weeks. You'll be back by
that time. " said the warden of Sing Sing
prison to him, as he left it, five years
ago
The discharged convict smiled, as he
tossed back an All right, sir !" and has
tened to his old haunts in the city.
But one day the Master met him, in
the person of an earnest Christian man,
and through his teachings the old jail
bird found out that he was not only a
bad man to his fellows, but sinful man
before God. Then he discovered that
the Master had come into the world to
seek and save such reckless, outlawed
men as himself.
The two facts terminated in his heart
until they made him a new man. He
abandoned his old crimes, but his heart
went ont towards his old pals. The
active brain, hitherto used to plan rob
berries, began to devise way in which
he might save those who should be turn
ed out of prison, homeless and friend
less.
He laid hold of two controlling ideas.
II must he said he said to himself
have home to which / can take the
men / would save A discharged con-
Wet turned loose into New York City
must steal to live. And every man /
help must earn what he eats"
When this ex-conyict laid out his
plan for saving his pals, he had not q
