his letters OF recall to the
sultan has been instructed by his govern
ment to remain at his post in order to
prevent the sultan, under the pressure of
other diplomats, from weakening and
breaking his resolutions.
The latest intelligence FROM Constanti-
nople indicates the continuous success of
the Franco-Russian diplomacy in Turkey.
The sultan has offered place in the MIN
istry to Chakir Pasaa, declared partisan
of Russian alliance and known to be a
foe of England and the dreibund. The
foreign office here regards Eng
lands difficulty with complacency.
Lord Salisbury s solicitation for dipio-
matte aid force England into closer
union with the triple alliance, and thus
tends N the direction of bringing about

Emperor Williams Speeches Indicate
Coming Troubles.

BERLIN, Sept. 14-There was a parade
of all the troops stationed in the Cassel
district today, which afforded a brilliant
spectacle. The emperor and empires the
king of Saxony, the grand duke of hesse,
the grand duke of Sake Weimar the
duke of Edinburg, the prince
and princess Henry Of Prussia, Prince
Albrecht, and others of high rank were
present. Emperor William will now go
to Erfurt where he will review the fourth
army corps. Some of the phrases used by
his majesty in his speech at banquet at
Cassal have added to the uneasiness which
now prevails throughout the country He
recalled the time when, as staff
officer, he entered Cassel in 1871,
with the victorious Hessian troops, and
said that the He, slams in the event of for
eign struggles would help him to fulfil his
duties. Coming so soon after the allu-
sions made aG Munich to future triumphs
of Bavarian troops his majesty sutterance at
Cassel is felt to De yelled menace to foreign
enemies and warning for the country to
courageously prepare for trouble. Still
the conviction remains mistaken IN
official circles that prolonged period of
diplomatic intrigue will precede collision
of the powers.

Captain Sharp is about forty-three years
old, is big and brawny, and from the ex-
preston Of his face, one can see that he
is not a man to be triied with. The salv-
age of this particular vessel is noted as
being of the most recent date, and for the
reason that it was considered one of the
most daring pieces of work done in years.
"Other instances of less recent date was
the saving of the City of Paru, belonging
to the Pacific Mail line, which ran aground
on old Providence Island and fell into the
hands of wreckers, who drove the crew off
Arion, of the Atlas line, which went
aground on Alligator Reef Jamaica, and
was mercilesslv plundred by these same
buccaneers of the shore.
These fellows, who claim to be wreck
ers, are the lowest order of Bahama
Islanders. They are ignorant, superstit-
ious, half.clad kinky. haired, unclean,
thick-lipped, and robbery is their trade.
TIE governors of the islands are no better
than they are, and while the governors
pretend that they try to protect vessels
which come ashore the pretense is so thin
ly yelled that it is apparent to all, as il
was in the case of the Italia. The gov
ernor makes a weak resistance for the
sake of appearance, but when the division
of plumber takes place he does not fell to
claim his sha'e. There is absolutely no
projection all and the cap
tain who leaves his vessel and
goes for assistance always reckons
on coming back to looted ship if not
partially murdered crew. Why, it is not
many years ago when it was a common
thing for these so-called wreckers to kill a
captain and chuck his body overheard if
he offered the slightest resistance in pro-
lection of his ship. They simply boldly
claim the vessel as their own and take it.
And when they finish their ruinous work
there is little left worth taking away.
There actions in regard to the Ell Do
RADIO show that they have not lost any of
their eld-time ferocity and boldness. The
vessel went ashore on Friday night Aug.
Z. Capt. Sharp arrived on the l4th, the
Mckane having driven the pirates off and
gone to i ey West in the meantime. Dur
ing the absence of the cutter the Bahama
wreckers came aboard and demanded the
cargo from Capt. Byrnes who was COM
PEELED to comply.
Speaking of the probability of interna-
tlonal complications arising out of the ac-
lions of the Bahama wreckers. Mr.. Her
bert preferred to say nothing, since he had
no definite knowledge of the details of the
present case. There is considerable talk
Of such complications arising, however,
and the matter is seriously discussed in
shipping circles, and that such complica-
lions may arise would not surprise many
