To what extent Russia has superseded Great
Britain as the Power possessed of predominant
influence at the Sublime Porte is apparent from
a Constantinople letter printed in our columns

without the sanction of the Muscovite Ambas-

the latter had to be invoked by our envoy peiore

Owing to the diplomatic controversy between
the United States and Italy In connection with
the New. Orleans disturbances having taken
nlace when the Marquis di Rudini was last in
Office. an impression prevails in this country
that King Humbert's new Premier Is no friend

that he is so sincere an admirer OF this great

Mr. Chamberlaln's offer to President KRUGER
is n shrewd and crafty one. He is willing. 1t Is
said 10 abrogate the Convention OF 1884 and to
guarantee the independence of the Transvaal.
provided the Boer Government will grant full
citizenship on reasonable terms to all foreign
residents OF its territory The astue Colonial
Secretary knows perfectly well that II these
terms were accepted at Pretoria there would
quickly be an overwhelming majority OF British
voters In the South African Republic, who would
make that country practical member OF the
British Empire. All the same. Mr.. Krtger will
do we'll to conclude such a bargain, for that Is
iust what the Transvaal must come to. sooner
or later and the sooner 1t does it the better for
all concerned

Many Thousands ThrOng to See It

Promptly at 10 a. m. all the United
States troops marched into the quarter

people The grand stand was filled to

Of the cattle barns and other sheds and
the entire distance around the race
track was crowded with people. 1t
was one of the largest crowds that has
been seen on the grounds this week.
The military band headed the pro-

steps according to the pace Of the reg

Then the command was given to fire

the rattle of the carbines and muskets
and artillery was deafening. The in

THURSTON NOT MET.
Comes to Speak at Kansas City
Finds No Meeting Arranged

Kansas City, Oct. 3-The failure of
the local Repu blican committees to ar
range q meeting for Senator John NJ.
Thurston of Nebraska, who came here
yesterday fully expecting to make
speech, is the browning blunder in
strangely n1ismanaged campaign. Sena-
t0rThurstOn was prominent as chairman
of the national convention which nomi-
mated William Mckinley in St. Louis
last June. He has spoken in IL states
and the national committee has sent
him to Kansas City for his last speech
before going to his own state Nebras-
ka- He came to Kansas City like a
stranger. No committee met him at
the depot and in fact no attention was
paid to him. When he reached his no
tel and found that no arrangements had
been made for him to speak, he decided
to call his engagement off. He viii not
speak at any hastily arranged meeting
Just who is at fault no one seems to
know The national committee usually
notifies the state committee when 1t
sends a speaker into any state, and eX-
poets the state committee to notify the
local committees. The Star says. Boss
Filley has been sulking since he was
turned down at St Louis He did not
notify the local committees that Sena-
tor Burrows of Michigan was coming
till a few days before his arrival. but
in that case the local clubs knew of his
coming in advance and arranged the
meeting 1t was the same when r. z.
Lewis the candidate for governor, came
q month ago, but in neither case was
the matter entirely neglected..

The Participants Did Their Best

There was a sham battle at Camp
Miles yesterday afternoon which was
seen by an immense crowd. All veter-
ans and their families. visiting fire
men, militiamens band members were
admitted free to the grounds And
over 1900 tickets were sold at the
gate. 1t was big crowd and the
grand stand was filled and around the
race track there were people packed
ia thickly. The sham battle might have
been better had there been more mill
tiamen to participate
1t was the Battle of Five Forks
and those who took part-the x. u. G.,
reform school, and zouaves did their
best. Characters representing General
Grant and General Lee commanded the
opposing forces, and the elimination OF
the battle was the surrender Of the reb-
el general
No accidents were reported from the
sham battle.

phia friend, she wrote some verses the
initial letters Of which, when read down
ward, formed the name Of the dead
baby.
From that time on she continued TO
write acrostics on the names Of deceased
babies and soon found that there was
so much demand for them that she
could make money by charging the be-
reaved parents for the exercise of her
talents. Miss Graham declines to state
the exact value which she places on her
poetic efforts, but intimates that the
price per aerostic depends upon the
number Of letters in the name. Thus
she would charge much less for a poem
concerning a departed Eva than she
would for one relating the woe and an
guish connected with the decease, for
instance, of a Marguerite.
About the quality of Miss Graham q
poems there can be no discussion. Here
is a sample which shows her brilliant
genius. It was written for family in
New York:

lest gift, but soon went out the light.
ca, blest the gift and sweet the Offering
bright
Like other poets, Miss Graham can
not always do work to order, but must
wait until her fancy is stirred by her
tickle muse. She does not advertise to
turn out poems while you wait al
though she occasionally does so. Just
why any one should want an acrostio
written on the name Of q dead baby not
even Miss Graham can explain, but she
knows that people do want them, that
they are willing to pay for them, and
so she writes them.
