SULTAN'S RAGE
Aroused When His Attention Was
Called to Existing Faults.
ARABlANs ARE UP IN ARMS.
A Conflict at Turkeys Most
Vulnerable Point.

LONDON, Nov. y. 1t is stated that
Kiamil Pasha recently presented a me
mortal to the sultan, pointing out the dan
gers Of tho existing palace system Of po-
litical government. The sultan became
very angry when he saw the document,
n tore the memorial to pieces, shouting
fierccly: "Traitor!" Kiamil Pasha fed
from the palace, fearing that his life
would be taken In consequence Of his hav-
ing dared to suggest the faults Of the ex-
listing government TO the sultan.
A dispatch to The Times from Copstan-
tinople says Kiamil Pasha, just appointed
TO the post OF Wall OF Adm, after having
raised objections TO the repre-
sentativos of foreign governments, be-
cause of his appointment To the undesira-
BILE position OF vail Of Aleppo, Is still very
sick. He was suffering severely when no
embarked on the steamer ordered to take
him 10 Syinrna by the Turkish govern
ment, but members of his family received
significant hints that il would be advisa-
BILE for him to depart at once. Not one or
his friends was allowcd To approach the
house or the boat for the purpose OF bid
ding him farewell.
Reports have been received at CONSTANT
nople Of the new disturbances at Moosh.
The British embassy ut Constantinople Is
In possession OF the reports, but so far no
details have been received.
A dispatch to The Standard from Con-
stantinople says that the sultan is
alarmed because of the present critical
state OF affairs. From Arabia, the most
vulnerable point Of the Turkish empire,
news has arrived Of a conflict between the
Turkish troops and the Arabs near Scnha,
in which 80 persons were killed. Despite
the report of trouble In the Arabian
provinces, the last detachment OF troops
sent 10 Arabia were detained five days at
Port Said for lack of money 20 pay canal
dues.
Where the Trouble Lies.
The Times this morning publishes q let
ter from ~Constantinople explaining the
situation throughout the Turkish empire.
The writer says that owing 10 the rigid
censorship exercised by the Turkish Off
Gals. the lower classes among the Turks
are qnits ignorant. and they believe that
the sultan inaugurated the policy Of OPP
preston, but to some extent IL is stated
that the Armenians believe to the con
trary.
The Turks think the Armenians will be
treated as they were % years ago, and be-
sidest this they entertain the idea that the
Armeniaps are ungrateful, thus n feeling
Of hatred toward the Armeniaps prevails,
and the ignorant Turks really appear to
fear being massacred by the Armenians.
The governments officers, according to
this letter, are directly responsible for dis
seminating the idea that ii Is the duty of
tho people to kill and plumber the Arme-
mans.
There Is no reasonable hope that any
Improvement will take place through 10
change Of public opinion. Turks and
Christians alike seem doomed TO endure
such scenes OF u~nspeakable suffering as
marked hat Of the Roman empire.

They pass In at one ear and out at the

there Is nothing inside to stop the

split open, filled with sawdust and

These laborers turned out products

profit was $51, 9O2, 148. Taking the
census of 1890 for the U. S 62,622, $50,

work OUT easily what proportion OF
these immense OUTLAWS for labor and

I called on Mr.. B. O. Flower, the
brilliant young editor of The Arena,
the first and leading reform magazine
in the country. Mr.. Flower is doing a
great work. The magazine is a fnan-
cial success, and he is able to employ
the best talent in the country. During
an hours talk with the great editor, I
learned something of his thorough
equipment for the work. He is fully
posted On current events, public men
and the great financial evils of the day.
1 believed this long ago, but was aston
ished to learn that he knows every
minute detail. Mr.. Flower has gold
bug surroundings, but he is an ardent
bimetallist and staunch anti monopolist
reformer. He is the noblest patriot
that New England has ever produced.

Ten Cent Clover Seed at Seventy-fve
Cents.
The correspondence given below ex
plains itself:
CLARK. N. @, Sept. 2. 1895.
Professor Massey:
DEAR SIR:-I send you sample of
clover seed and circular. There is a
man here Cling these at Is cents per
pound. Says two pounds will seed an
acre. He els Crimson clover at if
teen cents Per pound.
AS 1 have not seen anything from the
Experiment Station about it, 1 would
not buy any, especially at that price.
He says he is selling a great deal at
these pric s, Are these seed all n
sort9 They do not look 50 under the
glass. Very truly,
JOHN HUMPHREY,
September Sd, 1895.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
Lest some of your readers should be
taken in by the IAN Mr.. Humphrey
describes, I would say that the seeds
he sent me are seed of Triofolium
Hybridum, or Alsike clover, a clover
not suited to a Southern climate except
on land too wet for good clover. The
swindle is in the price he is getting for
the seed, for the Alsike clover can be
had in any quantity for less than ten
cents a pound, and the Crimson clover
for s. or less per bushel. You will see
that the circular, though ~ostensibly
from a party in Pennsylvania, was
printed in North Carolina. Farmers
now have too little money to be gulled
by an extortion6r, even if the seeds are
good. Therefore, I ask that you give
room to this. Yours truly,
W. f. MASSEY.
N. @. Experiment Station.
This is a copy of the circular which
Prof. Massey refers to:
TRIOFOLIUM OR SWEDISH HYBRID.
In this clover we have clover far SUI
perior to any other variety, and is
perennial or everlasting if not plowed
under. It resembles all other varieties
of clover, peas, beans, ETC., and grows
from two to four feet high, on OF ordinary
land, and is adapted to thin or sandy
land.
FOR HAY OR PASTURE.
Is far superior to any other variety
of clover, and is not subject to drought
or frost. No winter can kill it. The
roots are large and fbrous and heads
globular.
The plant may be described as the
Giant or Mammoth Glover, the stalks
being smooth and without fuzz, the
seeds growing in pods, and shoots out
fbers from every crown of each joint,
yielding from two to three tons of hay
to the acre, and can be cut two and
three times each year, and a continual
pasture the whole year.
TO IMPROVE THE LAND.
It is far superior to manure to pillow
down. For the succeeding crop the
seed can be sown any time during the
year, and will make a permanentpast-
ure, as it is perennial and it does not
require reseeding. ALI orders must be
sent to
