uncle snm n,rred ONE.

1t is semi-officially announced that
the Turkish government, has decided
not to admit the United States cruiser
Bancroft through the Dardanelles and
therefore, she will not be able to act
as the guardship of the United States
legation in case of emergency. The
porte, it is added, has also decided not
to admit the guardships of Greece and
Holland. The exact ground upon
which the Turkish government takes
its stand in this ease is not stated, but
it is known in official circles that Russia
has objected TO the presence in the
Bosphorus of United States, Grecian or
Dutch guardships.
1t is believed that Mr.. Terrell, about
month ago, sent an urgent request to
Washington for United States war
vessel. 1t is further minated that
the United States government will in
sist, by force if necessary, upon the
presence of the Bancroft in the Bos-
phorus, taking the ground that such a
step would not be an unfriendly act to
Turkey, in view of all the circum-
stances in the case, and that the pro-
lection of the lives and property of
American citizens make it necessary.
The Turkish government has also
sent a circular to the different embas-
sizes, demanding the right TO search
foreign vessels passing Constantinople
for Armenians. 1t ia believed that the
powers will not accede to this request.
A dispatch from Washington says the
announcement that our guardship will
not be allowed to pass through the
Dardanelles is looked upon as a shrewd
diplomatic move. The cruiser Ban
croft is now at smyrna, $50 miles from
Constantinople.

Terrible Deed of a chicago physician.

DIR, Carl f. Nitz, German physician
of Chicago, lived unhappily with his
wife because of her constant efforts to-
obtain possession of his property. Dur
ing one of their rows, he stabbed her
in the abdomen with a surgical instru-
ment. The wound was not fatal, and
the doctor, sitting down by her side,
stabbed her again. He then, as is
proved by notes that were found, sat by
her side watching her die slowly and
now and then to note the effect of an
other wound, he would jab his knife
into her again. He carefully noted all
the symptoms of the woman's approach
ing demise, and at one time left the
house and the dying woman, while he
procured an oyster stew at a neighbor-
ing restaurant and bought a revolver
with which he shot himself when he
was cornercd by the police.

"What is needed is thought switch
that will switch the thoughts over from
unpleasant lines to lines that are pleas

plenty OF such switches now, but the
trouble with 'em all is that they don {

gets over all right, but it's always up
