AN ARMED ALLIANCE
Said to Have Been Formed Be-
tween Germany and Turkey.

Berlin, Nov. 5.-The Frankfort lei
tung says it learns from well inform
ed source that Emperor Williams visit
Germany undertakes to support the in
tegrity of the sultan's Asiatic posses
sions for which Germany will receive
commercial and industrial privileges.
The paper adds that it is believed this
agreement is tantamOunt to an armed
alliance between the two countries A
of Emperor Williams visit to Constant
inOple and the Holy Land have been in
circulation ever since the intention of
his majesty to visit the Orient was an
nounced about a year ago. These al
legged purposes included important rail-
road concessions to Germany, the ced-
ing of territory in Syria to Germany
for cOlonizing purposes, the ceding of
a port in Palestine, the ceding of the
granting to Germany the right to plant
a large Germany colony along the whole
frontier at TripOli
This last agreement it was added
was intended to protect the sultan
against French encroachment across the
Tripoli-Tunis frontier and would also
avoid granting Germany a concession in
Asia Minor, which 1t is added would in
duce Russia to demand compensation.
On the other hand it has been an
nOunced that some of the powers have
notified Turkey that she will not be per-
mitted to cede any territory to Germany

lin on Saturday last was arriving at

CHICAGO JUBILEE.

Chicago and Philadelphia have been in
dulging in a great deal of enthusiasm dur
ing the last two weeks or so, by celebrat-
ing the American victory of arms with
peace jubiIees. 1t is a fitting way to cele-
brate the return of peace, and way that
is inspired by lofty sentiment The citi-
zens of these cities gave vent to their
enthusiasm in parades, banQuets, receptions
dedications, etc.
In Chicago the ceremonies began on
Sunday, October 16, and extended until
Friday, October 81. President Mckinley,
returning from the Omaha exposition, re-
manned over at Chicago to participate in
its jubilee. He gave public reception at
the First regiment armory, and, despite a
downpour of rain, great crowds gathered
to greet him. The most important fea-
ture of the celebration, however, was the
grand military. naval and civic parade.
There were in line veterans of the civil
war, marching together as brothers re-
united, and civic societies which make for
militant citizenship and patriotism, while
in between were boy cadets for future
armies. At the end, in the position Of

FILL LUKENS OPERA HOUSE
Large Audience to Hear Charles Cur
tbs Speak-Overfow Meeting
Outside.

Lukens' Opera House was more than
overlooking at the Republican meeting
in North Topeka last night. The crowd
was so great in fact that an overflow
meeting became necessary.
It was Congressman Curtis first and
only address in Topeka during this
campaign.
The opera house was well filed some
time before it was time for the meeting
to begin, and when the crowd was aug
mented by the arrival of the f1ambeau
clubs and others from the South side all
the standing room was Immediately ia
ken. One of the banners which the
fiambeau clubs planted by the side of
the stage bore this motto. "3, 600 ma Or-
ity in Shawnee for Charlie Curtis
Judge L. s. DOlman presided over the
meeting and introduced Mr.. Curtis in a
few brief remarks. Mr.. Curtis devoted
his speech mainly to a discussion of the
part played by the POpulist members in
the last congress, especially in regard to
the war measures, and their denuncia-
ton of President Mckinley for not NOV
ing more quickly. He gave an explain
alton why Governor Leedy allowed two
battaliOnS of cOlOred men to enlist. He
said that soon after the first troops
were recruited, he received letter from
Rev. w. L. Grant, which stated that he
had been to Governor Leedy and asked
him why no cOlOred troops had been al
lowed to enlist, and that the governor
had told him that his instructions from
the war department would not allow
him to recruit colored troops under that
call.
Curtis. "I called on the President and
showed it to him, and he authorized me
to write to Mr.. Grant that that state
ment was false. That is the reason that
when a second call was made this war
governor of Kansas allowed two battal-
ions of co1ored troops to be recruited.
1t was to get himself out of the trap
into which he had fallen.
1.-THE war governor also claims the
credit of sending the cOlOred men to
Cuba" continued Mr.. Curtis. THE
fact is that on Monday Colonel Beck
came to my office and asked me to go
to washington and intercede with the
war department to have them sent to
Cuba. I told him to come back at
o'clock in the afternoon for my answer.
When he came back I had my grip
packed, at 4 o'clock started for Wash
