A SECRET ALLIANCE.
Exists Between German EN-
peror and the Sultan.

New York, December 28.--
a special to the World from
Washington says:
The statement that a secret
alliance exists between Ger
many and the sultan OF Turkey
is made in a letter from Con
siantinople. received by a pro
minent official of the state de-
partinent. The letter was writ
ten by one high in authority in
the Turkish government, and
explains that the alliance is for
ths purpose Of thwarsing Rus
sian and English encroachment
in the sultan's dominions.
The writer gives an insight
into present affairs IN Turkey.
After the great powers had sent
through their ambassadors OF
ConstantiDople q collective note
to the sultan, insisting on his
giving reforms and an absolute
guarantee in the future for the
lives and property Of all his
subjects, the Eastern question
again became the great center

DISTINGUISHED

Sandy Mix Buried With Scot.

ST. Louis, December 28-The
funeral ceremonies over the re
mains Of the. late Sandy Mix,
the colored politician and fra
ternity enthusiast, began at
midnight Saturday and the in
terment took place Sunday af.
ternoon. The deceased was
prominent in colored Masonic
circles, being a thirty third

sequies during the night were
conducted under the auspices
of the supreme council of the
Western and Northwestern jur

This organization has cared
for the remains since Mix's
death, to await the arrival OF
prominent officials of the order
from various parts OF the coun
try, one or more coming from
California.
The ceremony was performed
in accordance TO an oriental
custom provided for in the rules
of the Scottish Rite Masons,

According to the news re-

confident of the sultan's per-
severance in this work. Sir
had been formed between the
two monarchs to prevent Rus
sian and English encroach-
ments.
The sultan, according to the
letter, while not yet completely
treasured that he will be left
peaceful In control of his do
main, with the privilege of
butchering the whole empire.
If be so desires, is shrewd
enough to discern that the
powers OF Europe hate each
other much more than they
hate him. The conclusion of
the letter is. mo matter what
happens, the Great Christian
nations can not afford to become
embrolled with each other.
Russia, least of all, hemmed in
as she is, on all sides, by en-
emies, can not afford the luxury
Of war, much as she desires it. "

Phillip eurrie, the English
ambassador. iutimated to The
minister to foreign affairs thai
England. though pleased with
what had already been accom-
plished, was fearful that the
sultan would not be strong
enough to insure the permanent
enforcement of these measures.
It was therefore desirable, ne
said, that those powers which
bod the most vital interest in
Turkey namely England. France
and Russia, should have writ
ten negotiations on the subject.
To agree tothis proposal would
mean that Turkey tacitly COLI
sented to proiectorate compos-
sd OF these three powers. In
case she failed to fulfill her
contract she wouli be virtually
at the mercy, or the triumvirate.
The sublime porte was much
disturbed by Sir Phillips visit,
and for . time it seemed that
English diplomacy would win.
Suddenly the sultan assumed a
defensive attitude. Sir Phillip
was informed the Sublime porte
would continue the reforms on
the lines laid down; that it
guaranteed absolute protection
Of life and property to all its
subjects, and further assurance
was deemed unnecessary. 1t is
now generally known in Con
stantinople, the letter say, that
Abdul Hamid acted on instruc-
tons received from the German
government, and no little
chagrin is felt among the sup
porters of the English, Russian
and French plans.

writer, are now recalling that a

William of Germany visited
the sultan at Constantinople,

Snakes Used In Warfare.

When Hannibal was fighting Eumenes
Of Pergamos with fleet of very inferior
strength he hit upon an artifice which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws of what we are pleased to call civ
ilized warfare. He discovered, by means
OF n bogus message under flag of truce,
which ship the king was on board of.
He then caused poisonous snakes to be
inclosed i'll earthen jars. These he dis
tributed among several ships and order
ed them to close upon tho kings galley.
In the melee that followed the jars were
flung on to the deck. The curious bombs
were greeted at first with ridiculc,
which soon changed to panic when the
nature of their contents made itself
manifest. The galley was extricated
from the light as soon us possible and
the captains of the others, believing
that the king had taken flight, followed
suit. with the result that Hannibal
gained Il complete victory.

Australian Theaters

The best theaters in Australia are usu-
ally built on English plans, but are
managed more like American play
houses. The prices charged are much
less than those cheerfully paid in Eng
land. Dress circle seats or stalls, which
bring So. 80 i'll London, will not sell for
more than $l.25 i'll Melbourne or sgd
ney. 1t is no use asking more. Indie
pendent Australians will not pay it.
Australian "gods" are perhaps little
less rowdy than English ones, but tho
better dressed portion of the audience is
EXCEPTIONALLY talkative, frequently chat
ting loudly right through perform
e@ce, even when the drama played is Sc
rious and presumably demands thought.
Evening dress, always seen in Eng
lish theaters, is rarely worn by Austria
liam playgoers, except on first occa-
sions and on Saturday nights, when CO.
lonial society usually turns out in force.
Tho Australian audience is, as rule,
cordial and demonstratiye Seldom asked
to decide on the merits of an entirely
new play, it accepts with enthusiasm
those productions which como to it al
ready stamped with the hall mark of
English or American approval.

are unknown, and n spirit of good ma

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Leaving the cases containing special
letters of great men for those in which
are preserved miscellaneous manu-
scripts, the visitor is simply dazed by
the extent and value of the collection.
The department contains moro than
8, 600 volumes Of manuscripts written in
oriental languages, and each one is
eSsa,sr rare work in itself or a repre-
sentative Of aparticular type. There are
more than 100 ancient Greek, Coptici
and Latin papyri, and 40, 900 other vol
rmes Of various kinds. While most of
these are interesting only to the scholar,
many Of the oriental exhibits have
peculiar interest for the merely curious
visitor. One Pail manuscript is engraved
in beautiful characters OH 20 leaves of
silver. Another is written OH lacquered
palm leaves with inlaid letters of mother
Of pearl. Another is on sheet of gold
and others on ivory The favorite ma
terial for this class of manuscripts is
palm leaves and some of tho volumes
consist of several hundred such leaves
bound i'll covers of ivory.
