Turkeys Fate.

Will the close Of the nineteenth
century witness the disruption Of
the Ottoman empiref
The present sovereign Of Tur-
key is the thirty fourth in male de
scent Of the House of Otbman. the
founder of the empire. and the
twenty-eighth sultan since the
conquest Of Constantinople. We
first hear Of the Turks in tue year
S44, when they migrated froiu Tar
tary into Armenia, but they only
came into prominence about 1880
a. ID. Under Othman they made
themselves masters of several
places in Asia. Their first ap-
pearance in Europe was in 1850.
BY the end of the fourteenth cen
tury they had reduced Thessaly.
Macedonia and Bulgaria. and were
acknowledged the rulers Of nearly
all Western Asia. Constantinople
was first besieged by the Turks in
1892, but was not taken until
1853. 1t has since been the eapi-
tai of the Turkish empire-a per-
iOd of nearly four eenturies'and a
half. Under Solyman /. in the
sixteenth century, the empire
reached its greatest magnificenee.
Vienna itself was infested by the
conquering armies, but the siege
had to be raised, aud the victor's
march was stopped. The glory Of
the empire has been waning ever
since.
More than once Turkey has in
volved the powers of Europe in
war. Russia, Austria, France and
England have each had their turn
with the Sick Man. He has been
a menace to the peace of Europe.
He has at length become the I'm
bearable Turk.-St. Louis Chron

Storm nt Washington.

The storm of last Thursday Wis
ted Washington. The White
House was injured by the storm. n
portion of the copper roofing be-
ing stripped off and other damage
done. The tall flagstaff from
which the signal was given to the
city that the president was in town.
disappeared completely. In the
beautiful grounds surrounding the
house, twenty five of the splendid
trees. elms, syeamores, walnuts
and magnolias, some of great age
and historical associations, were
completely leveled.
The vast pile occupied by the
state, war and navy departments
was touched on the southern side
by the storm and lost portions Of
its roofing and many Of the states,
while a structure erected by the
signal service for the study Of
clouds, was partially demolished.
The new naval observatory
building suffered in the same fash
ion to the extent of about 1920.
At the Washington navy yards
the big shiphouse was partially
unrOofed, and the gun shops were
damaged slightly by the stripping
o. the roof. A special bulletin is
sued by the Weather Bureau states
that for one minute the wind
reached eighty miles an hour.

Thursdny, Oct. /, go.
Dear Sir-As Liverpool today
was about what was expected
our market opened j to ? points
lower. but subsequently de-
clined 1 points additional, not
withstanding New York was
considerably higher. Near the
close, scarcity of selling orders
occasioned an improvement of
3 to 4 points. making prices
range the same as yesterdays
values.
The quietness prevailing here
daring the day was due 10 the
lack of spot demand and little
or no speculation.
Secretary Hester today issued
the movement for September.
which is a record breaker. show
ing that 1.219.0OO bales was
brought into sight during that
month this year, as compared
to 335. 900 last year. 671 200 year
before. and 500. 600 in 1893.
The indications all seem to
point to the fact that operators
are not anxious to increase their
lines, for the time being, prefer
ring to wait for the bureau re-
port and the possibilities of
killing frosts being realized.
As soon, however, as the bureau
is given out we may have very
active speculation. Neverthe-
less, in the meanwhile. we think
it expedient for our friendss tn
take out their holdings OH
bulges, because the receipts
may give them an opportunity
to replace at lower prices.
Very truly yours,
