600 Aohammedans are found in British
colonies alone, and probably the true
total would reach 9O.0OO,OOO
The sultan is recognized by all these
people as a sacred person. the successor
Of Mohammed just as the pope is recog-
nized as fhe successor OF -. Peter. They
do not deny Christ. but consider him a
Mohammedan prophet and give his pedi-
gree In the koran. The Moslem will
swear by Moses, by Christ or by No
manned with equal readiness. but Mo-
hammed is the last and the greatest of
their prophets and the founder of their
religion.
In one OF the mosques at CONSTANT
nOph the green mantle of the prophet is
preserved. If that is taken out and
holy war proclaimed. the Islam popula-
ton of the entire world except Persia
and Morocco, would promptly respond,
and the sultan is the only man who can
issue such a proclamation If he is
pressed too hard he will be apt to do 1t,
and England with the British colonies
would be the first to suffer. The French
would be placed in the attitude Of self
defense in Algers an. Tunis, there
would be outbreaks throughout all
Southern Russia and Eastern Austria,
and nearly every country in Europe
would be engaged more or less, except
Germany, which alone is free from Turk
ish complications. Germany has culti-
vated commercial relations, and nearly
all the foreigners in the Turkish army
are German officers. Another point for
consideration which enters largely into
the case are the financial obligations Of
the Turkish government to English capi-
talists. Nearly all the Turkish debt Is
held in London, and, in case Of war,
there would naturally be an enormous
shrinking in the bonds and naturally u
suspension Of interest. The pocket
nerve of the Englishman is more sens.
tive than his sympathy, and has been
shown repeatedly in the foreign rela'
lions Of his government. The great OF
toman bank, which is the largest t1nan'
cial institution in the east, is owned and
managed by Englishmen, and it would
suffer seriously In case Of war.

New Brides 1. Roumauia Would Shock
Mrs. Grundy.
have Just heard Of quaint foreign
custom which makes me think it high
time for Mrs. Grundy to go abroad, for
am sure 1t is one she would put down
with high hand, says writer in
Home Notes. In the old town of Hell
magen. in Roumania. an annual fair is
held on st. Theodore's day. On this
occasion all the newly-wedded brides
from the surrounding villages throng
the town, but the widows who have re-
married remain at home. The young
women are generally attended by their
mothers-in-law, and in their hands they
bear pitchers of wine wreathed with
flowers. They kiss every one they meet,
and then present their jugs for sip to
be taken. The person SO favored makes
the bride small gift. AS 1t is consid-
cred an insult II the proffered wine be
refused, the brides are careful to be
reserved toward strangers, and only
kiss those whom they think likely to
partake of their wine. This kissing fes-
tival is celebrated in the public streets,
In private houses, in the taverns, and,
in fact, everywhere; but the origin of it
Is lost in obscurity. Some people sup
pose 1t to be relic Of times past when
the Turks made raids into the country
and carried OF all the young women
they could capture. Such of these as
contrived to escape, returning to Hell
magen at the time Of the fair, embraced
friends. relatives, and even strangers,
who rejoiced with them and congratu-
lated them on the'r happiness.

The new movement for the freeing of
Ireland which is being set on foot by the
Irish convention in session at Chicago
will probably start out with an appeal to
all Irish men and Irish women for con-
tributions. 1t will probably end in the
expenditure of those contributions not for
the liberation of Ireland, but for salaries
for the men who are getting up the move
ment. But the success of the new move
ment even as revenue getter is decided
ly doubtful Home rule enthusiasm has
died down very much in this country as
well as in England. While the agitation
was going ON the Irish at home did SO
much quarreling among themselves, and
showed such an utter lack of practical
wisdom as to make it very doubtful in
the opinion of thoughtful persons if they
were capable of governing themselves.
Now is a very inopportune time
to attempt to revive the agita-
ton. The Conservatives have an over
whelnIing majority in Parliament and to
a man they are opposed to any radical
change in the government of Ireland, and
| it is simply nonsense to talk of securing
home rule in any way except through
| the action of Parliament.

states of the Cuban rebels as belligerents
1t points out that Spain recognized the
Southern Confederacy Immediately after
the first battle of Bull Run which it holds
was no more decisive than the battle near
Bayamo in which the Spaniards were
defeated and General Campos had to flee
for his life. 1t contends that the Cuban
insurgents have as strong a claim to rec
ognition as the american insurgents had
when they were recognized by France in
IT'S. Senator Sherman also seems in
clined toward the recognition of the Gu
bans as belligerents, the only condition
he suggests being that they establish q
de facto government Indeed it appears
from canvas of Congress made by the
Chicago Tribune that there will be
pretty strong sentiment there in favor of
recognition, unless the Spaniards shall
havemade much more progress towards
putting::down the rebellion when Congress
meets than they appear to have made up
to the present time
