The Sultan is Alarmed.

A dispatch Of the 10Th from Constan-
tinople says: The leading Ulemas and
Softas are agitating against the course of
the Sultan in entertaining foreigners
with banquets and fetes, and ignoring
the intense misery in the country and
the sufferings of the moslems. At a
meeting of Sofas twas declared that the
moment had arrived to restore the old
regime as alone conducive to the great
ness and prosperity of the empire. The
Sultan is alarmed and suspects that the
movement was prompted by persons in
his encourage. Since Tuesday the gates
of the Yllkiz Kiosk have been closely
guarded, and ingress and egress have
been prevented. Several civil and mil
itary officials have been arrested.

The President has decided against
building the new practice ship on the
great lakes. Two cabinet meetings
were held before the decision was made,
and the whole cabinet was in favor of
awarding the contract to the Wheel
ers. Even Secretary Blaine favored
it. But the President said it
would raise suspicion with Englishmen,
and in the present delicate condition of
diplomacy between the two countries it
would be better to keep on the safe side.
Treaty stipulations with Great Britain
forbid the building of war vessels by
either government on the lakes, other
wise the Bay City, Mich, firm would
have received the contract for the 500
ton ship.

A Famous Land Case.

The famous land case known as the
Lockhart-Osborne contest has been de-
cided by Secretary Noble. The proper
ty is supposed to be worth millions:
William Lockhart, settler, made final
proof on the land in the Duluth land
office in 1884 Later he sold his
rights to Capt. James Sheridan. No
patent was issued and in 1886 contest
ant appeared against Sheridan in the
land office, in the person of Robert Os-
@ the contest ae a Was a lnuaf hearing at
Duluth, and Sheridan came off victori-
Gus. Osborne appealed to United States
Land Commissioner Sparks, who re-
versed the decision of the Duluth office.
Secretary Noble reverses the decision
of Sparks, and susrains that of the local
land office.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, June 81.
1t is but two weeks before immense
numbers of men will again crowd into
the streets and squares of Milwaukee as
they did in the days of 1889, when the
national encampmentof the Grand Army
of the Republic took place.
The details of the programme for the
entertainment of the guests that will
visit the conclave of the Knights OF
Pythias have well-nigh been completed,
and the committee feel confident that
they have done all they could to make
the strangers enjoy themselves.
People in the city do not yet all re-
alize how large an affair the coming con-
claye is going to be. 1t is but natural to
compare this event with the G. A. r..
Encampment of last summer, and it is
said by members of the executive coun-
Gil that the attendance will in
no case be less than it was then.
Especially must it be remembered
that for more Of the members will be
accompanied by their families. The
majority of the Knights are pretty well
off financially, while among the vet
Grams were comparatively more to
whom the cost of ~ trip to Milwaukee
was d point of great importance. 1T

so that IA 600 persons could easily be

afternoon, violent gus Of wind blew
over the roof of a covered platform
that served as depot for the new cleo

Export Duty Removed.

A dispatch of the oath from Ottawa,
Ont, says: Congress having amended
the tariff bill reducing the duty on lum-
Der to 81 per 600 feet, board measure,
the Dominion government will now re-
move the export duty on saw logs as
soon as the United States tariff bill be-
comes a law and the duty on lumber is
definitely fixed at 81 per 81, 1000 feet.
Canada will fulfill her side Of the bar

the Illinois Central Railroad. A Chi
cage dispatch Of the oath says The
trainmen in convention this morning
ordered a general tie-up Of the system
wherever e. NJ Russell has control as
superintendent" This means that the
strike has extended to Cairo and in all
branches in Illinois and north into
Wisconsin and part Of Iowa: This
widely strike will take
place tomorrow morning, unless
before that time the grievance
committee has in it's hands the
eral Supt Russell The road this side
of Centralia was tied up at s clock this
morning, and the striking trainmen
threaten to stop all the trains on the
entire system if their demands are not
acceded to by the roads officials. All
the suburban trains are stopped, and
the thousands of race lovers who wished
to go to Washington Park had to hire
conveyances or take the cable.
Since F. g. Russell, superintendent
of the northern lines Of the road, came
here year ago, there has been dis
satisfaction among the men. Russell
inaugurated new rules which the men
regarded as arbitrary. Yesterday it
was rumored that Trainmaster Berry
and his assistant Irwin +. Pushe were
to be discharged, Whereupon they ten
dered their designations. For these
and other reasons the employees decld-
ed to strike, and to remain out until
RusselI's connection with the road is
severed and the men named reinstated.
The strikers did not wish to be held
responsible for interfering with the Uni
ted States mails, the express compa-
mes, and bonded matter. They there
fore attached the mail and express cars
to the engine of the New Orleans mail
train, but left the coaches, with their
eXasperated passengers, unconnected.
General Manager Beck, General Supt,
Sullivan and the heads of the traffic de-
partments had a conference to-day
with representatives of the strikers III
General Manager Beck's office. The
men demanded that Supt. Russell $
name be stricken from the card, and
stated their determination not to return
to work until this was done. They said
there was no room Tor COM
promise on the subject, and not
one of them would go to work
again under him or consent to receive
another order from him. General Man
ager Beck was ordered to support Rus
sell, but the situation was admitted by
the official and his subord!natesf to De
very serious. The only conclusion ar
rived at by the officials was that they
would resist the mems demand for Rus
sells discharge, and it is said that, I'M
less the men return to work tomorrow
morning, the company will proceed to
hire new men.

filled with freight cars, and the stalling
