Scores Perishing Daily From Exposure
Around ZeitOun.
LONDON, Jan. IA dispatch to The
Daily News from Constantinople says:
There are 30 or 60 deaths daily among
the troops around Zeitoun. The cold is
intense, and the condition of the army

last degree deplorable, their clothing
being in rags and their food poor.
Their ranks are decimated by disease
and by wholesale assertions, owing to
the non-receipt of their pay.

compulsory act in any particular has
always been considered by "Old HI
ram as entirely Masonic, large
meeting OF its members is expected or
| this occasion.
An Old Hiram members version O
the outlook is as follows:
THE dignity. financial standing anf
ancient Masonic rules against any in
novation in it's old Masonic custom!
relative to Old Hiram's dues, etc, will
be as clearly and forcibly denounced
and overthrow as was the recent at
/ tempt to change the lodges origina
work (as done in Old Hiram No. fol
nearly two hundred years. for some
! thing of a more modern character"
On the other hand there is quite a:
positive an idea among the young
mems party that the proposed change
or innovation will will command no
only the respectful attention of the ole
and solid men of the lodge, as well as
some Of the younger and rising men
/ but will have a very strong backing
and that though the project may b.
defeated, it will not have an inglorious
! death, by any means.

Club has not more than three, IL that
many, whom it can claim positively.
There was a rumor late last night that
Mr.. f. 5. Lathrop had declined to be a
candidate for county commissioner, but
the rumor could not be confirmed.
The politicians are hard at work. Both
sides are making claims of the election by
varying majorities. The Citizens Club
people assert that their opponents have
no hope Of winning except by the negro
vote and that they will find this not so
easily handled as they think. Citizens
Club leader stated that they expected to
get half the negro vote, but that they
could win with one-third. which they claim
10 be certain Of
There is no question that the immense
mass meeting night before last has filled
the Liberal Club people with enthusiasm
and has decreased to some extent the con-
fidence Of their opponents. Liberalites took
particular pleasure yesterday in explain
ing to their opponents just how large the
meeting was. II is claimed that there were
1900 good Liberal Club voters present.
Estimating that there we're half as many
more who did not attend the meeting, but
who Will cast their ballots on election
day, victory, it was claimed would perch
upon the Liberal Club banner.
A Citizens Club leader answered these
claims by Analysing the crowd as follows:
I'VE will admit for the sake of argument
that there were 1000 people present, which
l don't believe. Deduct from this num-
Der 200 boys and persons who went there
merely out of curiosity, and you have
1900 left. Deduct from these the 400 ne
groes in the gallery and you have 140O
white voters. Three fourths, II not more,
of these were ITishmen. The Irishmen
are the greatest people in the world to
turn out to political meetings and grow
enthusiastic over them. There were
mighty few Irish voters left in the Fort
and Yamacraw last night. Add to them
1,400 white votes in evidence last night
600 negroe votes and you have 1000. 1t
will take 5000 votes to win Wednesday,
and this means that the Liberal Club
must find 1000 more white votes in order
to win. These must be drawn chiefly
from native Americans, Germans and
Jews. They will never get them"
Liberal Club men figure differently of
course. They say there We're at least 1850
white voters at the meeting, that at a
low calculation they will get 800 more
white votes, which did not attend, and
that with 600 to 500 negro votes they have
a handsome majority in sight.
