Won DER GOLTZ PASHA.
Experiences Of German General
In Turkey.
He Wants to Leave tho Land of the
Faithful, But the Sultan VIII Not Let
Him Goa Queer State OF
Affairs.

Baron von der Goltz's five years term
of service with the Ottoman army came
to an end.in June, and the strenuous
.endeavors Of the padishah have failed
up to now to induce the general to re-
new his engagement. The sultan is
not specially desirous of keeping Won
der Goltz, for he is not allowed to rem
der real service; but his majesty is
specially desirous that he should not
leave for fear of what he might relate
Of his experience in Turkey. Won der
Goltz Pasha was thoroughly discon-
tented with his position long before
his five years had expired. He was
hampered and thwarted on every hand:
by the jealousy of his Turkish col
leagues on the staff; by the purposely
underlined nature OF his duties; by the
frequent reports made to the sultan
about him by the spies. When, prior
to the expiration of his contract, he
was sounded as to its renewal, he stip-
ulated that his sphere of duty should
be well defined, and that he should not
be obstructed in the fulfllment of it.
Such an idea is inconceivable to the
Turkish official mind, and the answer,
of course, was; Are you not regularly
paid?"
The Turkish official, civil or mil
itary, travels light" SO to say, in the
matter of moral baggage. Personal
dignity is sufficiently safeguarded by
staid manner easy to acquire; it is a
form of which the simple outline is
not complicated by any background of
self respect or sense of duty, which at
the best are only impediments to free
dom of action. A Turk simply wants
his pay and pickings, and Gen. Won
der Goltz's notion about having duty
to perform and being allowed to per-
form it was regarded only as an artful
way of asking for higher salary. Ac-
cordingly, a higher salary was offered,
on condition that Won der Goltz signed
a seven years contract. This he re-
fused point blank; then the sultan came
down to five years, which was also re.

square, and it will be covered by .
concert hall, shops, restaurants and
sideshows of various kinds. There
will be like erections on the second
platform, but on lesser scale, and on
the third post Office with telephone
communication will be the leading
feature. If the amount of business
transacted on the highest stage of the
Eiffel tower be any criterion the post
master general will have no cause to
complain of an unremunerative
branch, while the patriotism of it's
patrons will be gratified by the cir
cumstance that this stage is to be 40
feet higher than the loftiest which the
Partisan erection can boast. Crowning
all will be an electric lamp of extraor-
dinary illuminating power.
The entire tower will weigh about
seven thousand five hundred tons and
each on its colossal legs will stand on
a solid rock of concrete, already in
position and embedded to the depth of
seventy-five feet. This weight is much
lighter than that of the Eiffel tower,
but Sir Benjamin Baker, who built the
great Forth bridge, is experimenting
the work and may be safely trusted to
make the structure perfectly strong
and safe.
The four legs are already third of
the way up to the first platform. They
stand at the corners of a square of
three hundred-feet base, within which
four elevators--two up and two down
will work and will be able, if re-
quired, to carry as many as sixty thou
sand persons in a day. The tower will
be built entirely of steel. The first
platform is under contract to be
finished by November of this year, but
no date has been fixed for the execu-
ton of the entire work, though that
consummation may possibly be wit
messed by the end of 1894.
