FIREMEN'S HARD WORK
Saves a Man From Being Buried by Quick
sands in New York

a gang of fremen We're engaged
nearly all the forenoon of Tuesday In
New York In a struggle to save a
workman from being engulfed by
quicksands in Henry street. The mans
name Is Jones, and ne lives in Brook
lyn. He was at work twelve feet down
in the excavation, which Is thir-
teen feet square and lined with
planks. Without warning the planking
gave way and the quicksand OF the
street poured In on him. Before he
could give the alarm. he was engulfed
to the waist. Word was sent to fire
truck house for help. Twelve men were
detailed, who hurried to the spot with
shovels and began digging. The sand
entered faster than II could be shoveled
out. The imperiled man called for a
priest, and Father Spellman was sum-
moned. He at once prepared to ad-
minister this last consolation of relig-
ion of the Catholic church. For two
hours the battle was waged, but ap-
parently without avail. The slightest
Stacking of the tremendous labor OF
digging and the sand would win the
mastery. Just before 12 o'clock the
man was almost free. The word passed
through the crowd and a murmur OF
congratulation rose that changed to u
groan as the sand fell in again. The
firemen redoubled their efforts and at

WANTS TO FIGHT.
Turkey Dissatisfied with the Inactivity Of
the Powers

A few days ago the Porte dispatched
a circular to It's representatives abroad
containing a skillful defense of the
Turkish case and declining to consider
any frontier line In Thessaly north of
the River Peneios. which It regards as
the natural boundary.
IL appears that the Sultan has con-
vinced himself that the Powers will not
resort to coercion. and has decided to
test the alleged concert of Europe to
the utmost. on Monday he summoned
council OF Ministers for an extraor-
dinary sitting to the Yildiz Kiosk. with
the result that after a heated discussion
report was drawn up I'm favor of re-
suming hostilitles " peace should not
be concluded within n week. The Min

n conversation between the Sultan and
an officer of his household. Abdul Ham
id complained that the war had been
forced upon him, and that when he was
victorious Europe refused him either
territory or indemnity. Therefore. he

hour the Cabinet decided that the

message recommending Legislation pro-
viding for commission to adjust the
currency questions of the country. II
Is the expectation of the President that
