The Partition of Turkey.

An interesting little pamphlet has just
reached this part of the world entitled An
Academic Study of the Partition of the
Turkish Empire In the Interest of the
Peace of Europe and the Benefit of the
Oppressed Turkish Subjects" 1t Is signed
by An Anglo-Indian with long experience
In the Administration of Oriental Prov
inces- The little booklet was published
In London January last. for free distribu-
tion. 1t was evidently inspired by the
agitation OF Europe over the Armenian Sit
uation. which had greatly simmered down
by the beginning Of the year, but II re-
ceives new value now by the present
disturbances in Crete and the renewed talk
OF general European war over the eff
fects of the Sick Man. Without knowing
who this "Anglo-Indian with long expert
ence in the administration of Oriental prov
1nces may be, 1t Is entertaining to note
his remedy for the intolerable situation In
Europe growing out of the indisposition of
the powers effectively to regulate the Turk
and his domains. This remedy of course
Is partition. dismemberment OF the SuItan.s
entire holding. The wisest statesmen of
Europe have tried many times TO plan sucb
distribution of the effects as would give
rise 10 the least friction possible and aIlot
10 each power the exact slice that Is most
earnestly desired. but without success.
Each nation wants the wishbone and a
drum-stick and there being but one of the
former and two of the latter the effort at
harmonious distribution has failed. The
"AI glo-Indian" proposes the following
scheme: Give Crete and the European Is
lands Of the archipelago to Greece: Italy
should have Tripolitana: Great Britain
should receive a clear title to Egypt and
Cyprus; to France should be allotted Syria

The Proposed sixteenth Amendment

Senator Hodr has reintroduced his joint
resolution of several sessions ago proposing
a constitutional amendment providing for
change of the date of Inauguration TO
April ~. The Star recently reviewed the
history of late attempts to secure such
change and expressed the hope that the
effort would be at oEce renewed. 1t was
Fointad out that when last considered by
Congress the proposition was coupled with
Il scheme for a reorganization of the Con-
srsssional chronology. Representative
Grain urging a continuous session COM
mrncing January l and broken by such
r"cesses as might he permitted by business
or required by health and comfort. 1t is
by some held to be questionable whether
the inauguration day amendment could go
through Congress and the legislatures by
reason Of its own force. 1t does not appeal
strongly continuously to the nation. 1t
is recognized as necessity by the entire
population of this District and by as many
people from various parts of the
country. but the numbers are not sufii-
cicntly large to form a propaganda nor are
the ocC asions frequent enough to sustain
the slight tendency that prevails each
fC urth year. stronger when bad weather on
Inauguration day emphasizes the need of
postponement This year the day was
ideal. but the weather that Immediately
preceded and followed it was atrocious.
The thous;i nds of citizens gathered lere in
honor of the occasion dispersed as speedily
rs possible. curtailing their visit in order
10 avoid the miserable conditions and thus
missing many an opportunity to make tie
full round of sightseeing. They and their
hosts suffered equally from the prevalence
of bad conditions. Senator Hoars pro-
posed amendment is practically the same
that formerly advocated by him.
1t provides that the term of office of the
President and of the Fifty-sixth Congress
shall continue Until the thirtieth day of
April. 1901. at noon. The senators whose
existing term would otherwise expire
March 4. 1901, or thereafter. shall continue
In office until noon of April 30 succeeding
such expiration: and the thirtieth day of
April shall thereafter be substituted for
Iarch as the commencement of the Off
cial term of the President. Vice President,
senators and representatives in Congress.
The remedy is simple and merely prolongs
eight weeks. a slight advantage to the in
dtviduals concerned. but a great one in
many ways to the entire nation. Congress
could do no better thing than to pass this
joint resolution promptly and submit 1t
this year to the various states. There
would then be ample time for its ratifica-
tion by three-fourths of the legislatures
thirty-fcur in number-in such season as
20 give the amendment full effect four
iedrs hence.

San Francisco is greatly agitated over the

This matter of the adulteration of food and
fccd-stuffs demands the rigid enforcement
of the laws against food adulteration
frauds Even now the local authorities are
striving TO give effect to such a statute
that prohibits the sale of limitations of but
ter the genuine article, but their effort S
are hampered by an unaccountable disposi-
ton to compromise that prevails in the gov
eInment bureau having the enforcement of
the law In hand The compromise theory
has not always proved successful in such
lines. for unless the offender Is punished by
some other penalty than a mere fine the
money drawn from him, whether by court
OF by compromising executives. becomes q
virtual tax paid by the law-breaker for the
privilege Of avoiding the statute. Mean
while the people are defrauded and in some
cases their health is endangered. The Dis
trlct committees at the last session ap-
proved bills to prevent the sale of adulter-
ated foods and drugs in the District, and
these measures are therefore in condition
TO be enacted into law this year, along
with that recently introduced by Represen-
tative Barrett designed to prevent the adul-
teration of candy. All these propositions
are in the interest of health and honesty
and their defeat can only benefit those who
practice frauds.

Asia Minor except Syria and Mesopotamia,

would consequently wipe out the present

all Turks not natives of Europe and all
Armenians should be compelled within a
certain time to migrate to Asia. ST. Sophia

some OF the powers would not be wholly
content with their helpings. as he thus ar
ranges them. He points out the dangers to
England arising from a prolonged occupa-

France would find her share a burden
rather than a benefit. But he regards the
whole plan as the only feasible proposition
