in this way Of a certain class Of men
70 be found in every community:
Often men, from thorough selfish
ness, or lneXcusable thoughtiessLess,
seem perfectly willing to contribute
nothing to measure that rebounds to
the general good, while they are as
much and often more benefited than
others who help all they can.
Is 1t right, morally, to expect your

spend their money for something that
equally benefits you? Think of it
calmly and ask yourself the question,
IS this right2 Is 1t honest?

nearly all the railway towns in the
province.
Batabane has eight forts. Quivican four,
San Felipe six, Bejucal four. Some are
very crude, being built of logs and barrels

RUSSIA-TURKEY.
Reported Offensive and Defensive Al
lance Between These Countries.
Also Said That France Will Join--The Rumor
Not Confirmed

London, Jan. GA dispatch from
Constantnople to the Pail Mall Gazette
says: An offensive and defensive alliance
has been concluded between Russia and
Turkey. The basis of tho treaty Is on the
lines of the Unkiar -Skelessi agreement.
The treaty has been signed here, and its
ratification has been exchanged at st.
Petersburg, between Aartj Pasha and tho
Gar.
NJ. Cambon, French ambassador to Tur
key, had an audience with the sultan,
Jan. 81, which lasted two hours. This
tends to show that France is in all proba-
bility a member of the new alliance.
The Unkiah ,Skolessi agreement dates
back to 1888, and amounts to the reduc-
ton Of Turkey to the position of vassal
state. The treaty bound the Russian and
Turkish governments to mutually assist
ono another to resist foreign aggression
and to help each other in case of internal
dangers.
AS Turkey was at the time of the con
cusion of the agreement in "a state of utter
collapse, Russia waived the matter of as
sistance promised by Turkey and received
instead permission In the event of Russia $
being at war to close the Dardauelles to
warships of all nations
The western powers refused to recognize
the treaty, which was soon tacitly ahan
doncd
The Pail Mall Gazette guarantees the
reliability of the sources OF information of
its representatives at COnstantnople.

Zip to the present the names of lG
Protestant pastors have come in. all of
whom have refused Northumberland and
have been killed The Turks here are very
angry about the presents taken by Aarif
from the Sultan to the Car.
The Oriental Advertiser was suspended
for publishing the fact that Aarif left in
company with the dragoman of the
Russian embassy. There is no doubt that
he c,rricd presents, and the Turks think
that he sold the empire.
