CONSCIENCE GONE MAD.
So Says Theodore Roosevelt to the Good
Government Separate Ticket Men.

Police Commissioner Roosevelt has
sent the following communication to
Preble Tucker secretary Of the Council
of Confederated Good Government Clubs
in reply to the latters open letter to
him:
Preble Tucker, Esq, No. 12o Broadway.
New York:
Dear Sir-Of course, have all along
appealed to tho conscience vote. Equally,
certainly, whenever the conscience vote
acts without common sense, | am all
separate from it, If you had read full
report of what said, you would have
seen that spoke most highly of the con :
motives of the Good Government Club
men but emphatically the fact, which is
familiar to every student of history; as
well as to Svery practical POLITICIAN.
that when conscientious men act In a
silly manner, they may be quite as nox-
ious as the basest foes of good govern
ment
PROHIBIITIONISTS AN EXAMPLE.
If yon will study the effect Of the ac-
tion of the political prohibltlonlsts III
this country, you will not only see what
1 mean, but you will understand the ex-
treme danger to which you and your
friends are exposing, not only the cause
of good government in New York, but
YOUR own Good Government clubs
Lam a little at loss to meet argu-
ment. because frankly it is difficult to
understand how any one can seriously
compare the course of a public official
who keeps his oath of office and enforces
the law with the course of a political or
ganization which deliberately chooses to
help the enemies of law by dividing the
forces of the adherents of decent govern
ment. I cannot but think that such an
argument shows radical misunderstand-
ing. either of the duties of public fficer
or of the proper functions of bodies like
the Good Government clubs.

FOREIGN NEWS.
A British Ship Ready to Pass Through the Bosphorus, But the Porte Is Not
 Ready

Constantinop1e Nov. 29.-Upon the strength of the assurance given by the porte to Sir Philip Curris, British ambas- sador to Turkey, that the sultan would permit the powers to send into the Bos- phorus a second guardship Sir Philip telegraphed to Admiral Seymour, call ing the British Mediterranean squadron. requesting him to dispatch the gunboat Dryad to the Bosphorus also.
 The Dryad was expected to arrive at Osanakkale at Il o'clock on the morning of the 18th, and the porte was so in formed, but no authority to pass through the straits of the Dardanelles had been given up to the time of writing this dls- patch. The sultan upon learning thiS news became greatly disquieted, and at the hour of midnight sent messages to Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minister, and Said Pasha, the grand visier. Sir Philip Currie is now awaiting instructions from Lord Salisbury, and the other foreign diplomats have in the meantime asked their respective governments for instruc- tions.
 The synod of the Greek church in Tur- key has refused to commit itself to an pression of satisfaction with the prog ress of affairs in Asia Minor.
 Turkish troops en route to Aeitun have arrived at Marash, where they halted pending the result of negotiations with Armenians, who are in possession of Zeitun The conditions offered to the Armenians include the surrender Of thelr arms, as well as the leaders of the recent revolt at Zeitun, to the Turkish troops. Trustworthy advices say the rising of Armenians at Zetun followed the at tempt on the part of the troops of the Turkish garrison to pillage the city. Ar menian survivors of massacres at Ara birker, Moosk and Harpoot, these advices say. have been offered the choice of em- bracfng islamism or being put to the sword Americans in Harpoot, Bettns and Marash are virtually prisoners in their houses. It is not safe for Christians to go into the streets, and the escort which was provided for American mis- sionaries by order of the porte upon ap- plication of Minister Terrell. is afraid to leave Harpoot on account of dangers they are almost certain to encounter on the roads from murderous bands. No mails have passed over the Bagdad route for three weeks.

Lincoln's Boyhood in Kentucky


 McClure's Magazine.
 The home into which the child came was poor one. The cabin was not "the picturesque, vine-clad one of the story books" says resident of the country who has followed in detail the scenes of the presidents early life, "but one standing out in a clearing, with only one small room, a door, but no window, stick chimney with open cracks through which swept the winds, the rain. the snows of winter, and the swarms of mos quitoes in summer. We take an inventory of the furniture of that cabin hunks, the mattress of dry leaves. the slab stolls, the open fire place. We note the absence of even the necessities of life-neither stove, window, nor floor" The only one of MT. Lincoln's early ac- quaintances now living, MT. Austin Col laher, said to a representative of this magazine, in describing the poverty of these early surroundings:
 "At the time of Abraham's birth his father was away from home. Some of her neighbors, who were with Mrs Lin coin at the event. learned that she was destitute of anything in the nature of food. Some of the ladies called upon Judge William Cessna, one of the most prominent men of that time in this sec tion, in Mrs. Iincoln's behalf and he donated flour and other articles of food"
 The picture is dark, but fortunately, there are those who remember pleas anter things about 1t. Christopher Co., lumbus Graham whose statements have already been quoted says of some of the stories of the poverty in Thomas Lin coln's family:
 "It is all stuff about Tom Lincoln keeping his wife in an open shed in a winter when the wild animals left the woods and stood in the corners next the stick-and-clay chimneys. so as not to freeze to death; or, if climbers, they got on the roof They had a COW and calf milk and butter, good feather bed, for T have slept in 1t while they took the buffalo robes on the floor. because was a doctor. They had home-woven kiver- lids big and little pots. loom and wheel and William Hardesty, who-was there too. can say with me that Tom Lincoln was man. and took care of his wife"

The Porte's Promise Broken.

Constantinople, Nov 29.-Despite the portes repeated promise to the American minister, MT. Terrell, the missionaries at Marash were not afforded protection un- til eight hours after the second terrible massacre at that place, during which the American Theological seminary was plundered and burned. The missionaries reported on November 26 that they were safe, but since then nothing has been heard of them. The non-arrival of let ters giving details of disorders at Khar- pull and Marsovan on November 10 and 13 creates the belief that the mission aries mail has been stopped.
 It is announced from Erzeroum that the government has instituted a com mission to compel the restitution of their property to the ArmenianS who were robbed during the disorders there. Some prominent Armenians are members of the commission
 The government has agreed to the ap- pointment of committee to receive do- nations for the relief of the needy Arme- nianS.

CYCLISTS RULED OFF.
|. D. Cabanne, C. M. Murphy and F. J. Titus 5 Expelled From All Racing Under 1. A W. Jurisdiction.

New York, Nov. 29-The League or American Wheelmen announces, through Chairman Gideon of the racing board, that decision has been arrived at in the charges against the class B riders F. J. Titus of this city, c. M Murphy of Brooklyn and l.. D. Cabanne of St. Louis which has resulted in their perma- nent expulsion for life from all racing under the League of American Wheel men jurisdiction.
 Wheelmen, and racing men particular ly have been intensely interested in the outcome of the charges made against these riders.
 While following the National circuit it came to light during the latter part of August that Messrs. Titus and Cabanne entered into an agreement with c. A. Murphy at St. Louis on August "A that Cabanne was to be allowed to win the one-mile open race.
 Murphy, while agreeing to permit Ca banne to win, it is alleged, disregarded his compact and won the race himself.
 This action so incensed Titus and Ca banne that the riders held stormy in- terview over the matter in the dressing room. The conversation was overheard and reported to the racing board, which promptly suspended the riders and com menced an investigation into the charge of fixing a race which Is in direct vio- lation of league rules.
 The agreement to allow Cabanne to win, it is alleged, was due to his desire to win the event of the day in his native city
 The riders protested their innocence when accused, but after two months in- Investigation and deliberation the racing officials of the League of American Wheelmen arrived at the conclusion that the men had transgressed the league rules and that an adequate punishment would be permanent suspension. This ruling has caused wild excitement among class B men, and indicates that severe punishment will be meted out to all violaters of the League of American Wheelmen rules.
 The men are debarred from competing in any races in this country. It is very likely that the suspended riders will ap- peal to the national assembly fer rein statement, but 1t Is the general senti- ment that the racing board would not take such extreme mea sures unless back ed by an abundance of evidence to sus- tain its decision. It Is rumored that the accused riders will seek redress in the courts.
 San Francisco, Cal, Nov. Civilian Welch, who is in charge of League of American Wheelmen matters in Calfor- mia, today received the following tele- gram from Chairman Gideon of the rac- ing board:
 Murphy permanently suspended. Stop his riding. Next man gets prizes"
 This refers to c. M. Murphy the crack Class man, now in southern California and Is the result of the protest filed against him for throwing a race in St. Louis in September.&
