SULTAN AND HIS ARMY.
The conversation here drifted to Gen.
Miles experiences during his tour. He
visited nearly every great army of
Europe and saw more than 1905 600 SOL
dicrs in the maneuvers and in the
camps of the different countries. He
inspected the military factories and in
vestigated the newest things in arms
and ammunition. He came into con-
tact with the chief generals of Europe,
and l found his stories of his inter-
views with some of the great monarchs
exceedingly interesting. During the
conversation I asked him to tell me
something about the sultan. He re-
piled:
My first view of the Turkish troops
was the Friday after 1 arrived in Con-
stantinople. l saw the sultan the same
day, and at the same time. 1t was upon
the occasion of the sultan's going to
worship at his favorite mosque. near
his palace. He does this every Friday.
The mosque IS q beautiful marble
structure not far from the banks of
The Bosphorus. Just opposite the mos
que there is a small palace. [ was

it's windows l could see the regiments
as they massed themselves about the
MOSQUE. There We're, / think, about
1000 soldiers on duty. Each regiment

A CHAT WITH THE SULTAN.

A CHAT WITH THE SULTAN.
Did the sultan ride on horseback? ?"
1 asked.
mo, his majesty rode to the mosque
in q carriage, which was driven by a
coachman in a red velvet suit en-
hroidered in gold. He had large es-
cOrt with him, and the procession was
a most impressive one. AS he appear
ed the soldiers all faced direct and
looked toward him. There was a great
cheering from the crowd. and this CON-
tinued until his majesty had entered
the mosque"
But, general, it was not at this time
that your interview with the sultan
took placer
No replied Gen. Miles. My audi
ence was shortly after this. The sui
tan received me in his palace, and I
had some conversation with him about
military and other matters. The con-
versation was carried on through an
interpreter"
How did his majesty impress you:''
He seemed to me a man OF consid-
cradle ability" said Gen. Miles HE
is shrewd, cunning and adroit, and
he has one of the most influential posi-
tions among the rulers of me world.
He is, you know, not only the head of
the Mohammedans of Europe and Asia,
but Of all the Mohammedans on earth.
There are something like one hundred
and sixty million Mohammedans, who
look upon him as their spiritual head.
He has been on the throne for twenty
six years, and it would seem to me
that he must be pretty much of a man
to be able to maintain himself for that
length of time, surrounded as he is by
the great powers of Europe, who are
ready to take advantage of any mis-
take he may make"
Did you hear anything of his brother
whom he succeeded during your stay
in Constantinople?"
only gossip replied Gen. Miles.

to about $4,000 In January or Febru-

to need contradiction. The truth is,

Then your stateroom did not cost

No; it did not" was the emphatic
reply.
Did it cost you $500?"

TROUBLE WITH MILLER.
How about your trouble with Ad-

you crowded him out of the Bucking-

There is not word of truth in
that replied Gen. Miles. Il can't
think how the story originated, but I
see that it has gone the rounds of the
press. The admiral and myself were
both guests Of the English government.
Our accommodation were arranged for
us at that hotel. We had nothing to
do with making the arrangements, and
our names were placed over the doors
of our rooms before we went there.

The official organ of the internation-
al bakers organization says that if
labor unions did nothing else than call
attention to the misery that aboun0s
their existence would be justifiable;
but they have done more. They have
not only called attention to the effects,
they have shown the causes. They
done more still: they have produced
remedies, upon the merits and dis
merits of which professors, editors and
ministers now discuss and advocate.
Labor unions have produced thinkers
and educators from out their own
ranks. and have drawn students and
teachers from the wealthy and pro-
fesSional. And more yet; while doing
this they have bettered the condition
of thousands of families, by securing
higher wages, shorter hours and
greater independence individually and
collectively. The result is something
to be proud of. The carpenter, the
cigarmaker, printer, clerk, shoemaker,
tailor, working long hours on short
rations, have stepped boldly to the
front and worked a revolution in
American thought. 1t is fact beyond

The differences existing between the

international secretary, was present.
and was given a proposition by the
local union, looking to a settlement.
He telegraphed it's contents to the eX-

ed an answer accepting it. BY this it
is understood that the local union will
pay up all it's delinquent assessments
and that the parent organization viii

in a dismissal of the suits. At meet

The prospects Of the new union Of
electrical workers and dynamo opera
tors are becoming brighter at each
meeting, and the indications are that
a majority of the members Of this pro-
fession in the city will soon sign the
roll Of the new union. There are al
ways to be found those who, through
timidity or other reasons, hang back
until they are satisfied that the move
ment, no matter Of what nature, gives
promise Of being successful when
they Immediately fall into line. That
this has been the case with the cleo
trical workers in st. Paul was proved
Monday evening, when applications to
the number of twelve were brought in
by the members. The boys expect
that an equally large number will be
presented at the next regular session,

prospect of better conditions, etc.
