A Cali on The Sultan.

1t IS suggested tnat arter our war
ships have been cleaned and put in
condition for further active service
and all danger Of more trouble with a
renewal of the war with Spain is over.
is would be good idea to send two or
three of snem to visit the Sultan Of
Turkey. Perhaps the Oregon and her
consort, who may be sent through the
Mediterranean to reinforce Admiral
Dewey's squadron at Manila, might
stop on the way to show the great
assassin what an American battleship
looks like.
The fact is that the attitude of Tur-
key toward the United States is be-
coming insufferable Two years ago
or more, Turkish officers and soldiers
participated in riots at Harpoot and
elsewhere, during which American
mission property to the value of $1,000
at least was destroyed. To all the APP
peals which our government has made
for redress the Porte has turned deaf
ear. Minister Terrell accomplished
nothing, and it was thought that he
was too easily beguiled by the astute
Turkish diplomatists. Minister Angel
was commissioned chiefly for the pur-
pose of procuring an adjustment of
these claims. and he has Jared no bet
ter, and has resigned. Turkey simply
fatty refuses to make reparation and
repudiates all responsibility. 1t is a
cardinal principle Of Turkish action
never to do anything until compelled,
and so long as our representations are
confined to polite expressions they will
come to nothing.
Months ago, when these matters
were under discussion, it was common
property in Turkey would be in
jeopardy unless these claims for re-
dress were pushed. If such infamies
as were perpetrated at Harpoot can
escape punishment, official Turkey
may we'll conclude that the United
States is unable or disinclined to pro-
tect it's citizens on Turkish soil. That
this view prevails we have fresh proof.
Quite recently the Turkish authorities
began enforcing a new discrimination
against Americans, forbidding them
to be met at Constantinople by their
friends. A young man who went out
from this country recently to engage in
missionary work arranged to have mis-
sionary friends meet him at Constan-
tinople. When they attempted to go
out to the vessel on which he was, they
We're turned back by the authorities
The Turkish police went to the vessel,
took the young man into custody,
searched him and put him in Jail; and
it was with difficulty that he escaped
Through the eXertions of our diplomatic
representatives. Other Americans GO
ing to Turkey like this young man,
ignorant of the language and people,
are liable to be treated as he was, or
worse.
When an Austrian subject was
treated with indignity some months
ago, the Austrian government sent a
warship to a Turkish port, with orders
to lombard it if reparation was not
made within "a hours. Reparation
was made, and the incident was closed.
Let the Oregon stop on her way to
collect our little bill against Turkey,
and the lives and property of our citi-
zens in that empire will be safe.

Found His Son.

The Phoenix Gazette has the follow
ing interesting item:
''James Shea, now of Bisbee, has
found his son, who he thought was
dead.
''Mr. Shea and wife parted about 1s
years ago, having seen nothing of each
other all this time, bnt communicated
once in while over business matters.
When they parted they had child
some five years old. Mrs. Shea took
the child. He heard later that the boy
was dead. Mrs. Shea came to Phoenix
and was married to Joe Porterie. now
ex-deputy sheriff, the boy taking the
new name. They lived peaceably to-
gether: the boy grew into manhood and
with the call for volunteers enlisted
and is now at Whipple Barracks.
"Mr. Shea began wandering and
went through Mexico, where he be.
came interested in mines and soon be-
came wealthy. He was married to a
beautiful Spanish lady some twelve
.jears ago and after living in several
parts of Mexico, finally settled in' Bis
bee.
"Mr. Shea is now over so and the
second Mrs. Shea is about IS years oil
age. Through some means the father
heard of his son whom he thought
dead and came at once to Phoenix to
learn that the boy had left only the
day before as a soldier to fight for his
country.
Mr.. Shea is very anxious to have
his boy with him and is making every
effort to secure his discharge. The
father states that as soon as the boy
comes to him he will have at least $50,
600 at his disposal"

Something New.

Chief Clerk Montague of the T. P.
depot said yesterday that he had been
presented with four bran new oak
chairs that whirled ike a merry-go-
round. The reporter was treated to
an exhibition of the value of these
chairs by Mr.. Montague. He unscrew-
ed the chair to its full height and then
seating himself comfortably in his
valuable present he began to whirl
downward. AS he went down the
velocity of the chair increased
until nothing was visible of him
but his feet. But they did not vanish
in the least. After the exhibition
Mr.. Montague arose. pale but firm, and
told the reporter that the chair had
gone little faster that time than US
ual. More of his friends arrived and
he was requested to give another eX-
hibition but business WAS too pressing
and he asked to be excused for month
or two, at the end of which time he
will no doubt repeat the performance.
Mr.. Montague also informed the re-
porter that new clock would arrive
| tomorrow, but he did not state wheth-
| er it was a performing clock or not.

Cripple For Life.

On May 10 last F. T. Brewer had
his left hand badly mashed while load

near Fort Bliss, and naturally went to
the nearest physician for treatment, at
that time at the Fort. Time dragged
along and the injury showed no signs
of improving so MIR. Brewer secured
the services of DR.. PEBBLES, who found
that the former attendant on the in
jury had failed to set the hand proper

condition, and that nothing could be
done ufora it. 'I'm. q cripple for life

Unparalleled Business Activity.

When in Houston a few days ago,
says the Post, Messrs James Barker
and W. G. Crush, of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway, predicted
that with the close of the present war
an era of unparalleled business activ..
ity would permeate every channel OF
trade in the United. States. They
gave it as their opinion that industries
of all kinds would receive tremen-
dous impetus, and that the new ter
ritory which this country would either
acquire or control, would open
up new fields of labor
for our unemployed citizens,
our surplus products and the general
output of our factories. They said the
cities now destroyed would have to be
rebuilt, the land laid waste would have
toIbe cultivated, millions of capital now
lying idle would be profitably invested.
the demand for agricultural imple-
ments of every character would light
additional fires in our workshops, and
railroad traffic would receive 9 stimu-
lus in fair proportion to the general
boom. If Messrs. Barker and Crush
are wise in their representations, the
Cuban war will not be without its COM
pensation.
