The National tribune., 1899-05-04

The ceremonies at the grounds
began about =: 30 o'clock. As the
President stepped from his carri-
age lie was saluted by % guns,
fired by Division A, Naval Force OF
Pennsylvania.
A most pleasing incident was the
grt eting between the President and
the intrepid Coghlan, Captain of
the Raleigh. Every one watched
TO see how the Captain would he
received by the President of the
United States, and great cheer
went up as the President stretched
forth his and. grasped that of the
Commander. and entered into con-
versation with him.
Mayor Samuel Fl. Ashbridge
presided at the ceremonies, and,
after formally welcoming the Presi-
dent to Philadelphia, he called
upon the Right Rev. OH w. Whit
aker, Bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania,
to deliver the invocation and prayer.
The Mayor then made short ad-
dress. and was followed by John
ii. Converse, who presented the
statue to the Commissioners Of
Fairmount Park.
As he concluded speaking, Miss
Sartoris mounted a small platform
near the statue, pulled the cord
which held the National colors
about the figure, and the horse and
rider were brought to view.
As the drapery fell Battery D,
National Guard of Pennsylvania,
fired a salute of II guns, and the
gallant cruiser Raleigh, lying in the
Delaware River, nearly four miles
away, was given the signal at the
same moment, and she. too, belched
a signal of II guns. Then followed
a review of 6,0U0 troops.

THE COLOR OF SNOW.

1hs white coloi of snow is the re-
suit OF the combination of the different
prismatic rays issuing from the minute
snoW crystals. Pounded glass and
1oam give analogous illustrations OF
the prismatic colors blending together
and forming the white light out OF
which they had been originally formed.
The air contained in the crystals in
tensines the whiteness of the snow.
The snow from its loose texture and
times Its bulk OF air is very bad con-
ductor OF heat. and thus forms an ad-
mirable covering for the earth from
the effects of radiation, it not infre-
quently happening in times OF great
cold that the soil is forty degrees
warmer thar the surface Of the over
lying snow.
The apparent redness OF snow as
seen from distance is often an effect
OF light which adds a peculiar charm
to mountain and winter landscapes.
particularly in the mornings and ey-
enings, when the rays of the sun fall
most obliquely on the surface OF tie
snow. But snow is occasionally found
both in Polar and Alpine regions of a
really red color. This phenomenon
seems to have been observed by the
ancients. as a passage in Aristotle ap-
parently refers to 1t: but 1t attracted
no attention in modern times till 1850
when Saussure observed it in the Alps.
and from chemical experiments con-
cluded that the red color was owing
to the presence OF some vegetable sub

on which the capitulations are based is the
necessary incompatibilty between European
Nd Asiatic notions Of equity, the rights Of

rier the system in vogue in Turkey, but Tur-
KEY sees ADVANTAGE in holding intercourse with
foreigners. and therefore the Sultans by the
treaties waived their sovereign right Of control
uer the European resident so long as ne did
not attack the country or its people and so far
Is lis own prigat, affairs were concerned.
TIE THEORY OF FOREIGN POSTOFFICES.
At the first It was perfectly clear that post
Offices came under the class Of purely private
snalrs covered by the capitulations. Turkey
had an internal postofice system which carried
letters with all The speed Of horsenesh, and de
Rvered them with all the sluggish heedlessness
Of officials devoted to the study Of their own
aSe The postal delivery in small places was
he basket delivery. The mail, after official

steamers, and finally resorted to the expedient
OF starting three hours before the Austrian mail
boat. but they never once landed their mail
until the Austrian mails had gone out on the
train, with no other for twenty-four hours.
When the railroad from Constantinople {,
Vienna was completed Turkey announced thN
all mail bags would be taken from the strtion
TO the Turkish postohice, leaving the foreign
postOfices without reason for existence. The
foreign embassies replied by sending an armed
official on every train. who permitted no med-
ding with the mail bags. But the offer is gtill
open TO close those Offices when the Turkish
poetoiice is brought to trustworthy ard
efficient condition.
The question Of efficiency and safety then Is
the ono raised by tho new demand Of Turkey
for the suppro ssion Of the foreign postoaices.
But that question embraces a deeper one ~
definition. The real question IS whether ths
definition NJ efficiency and safety shall or shall
not force Turkey frst to abandon its notion II
limiting the postofce to the conveyance )t mot-
ter that has in il no living thought

correspondence had been weeded out was placed
in basket and carried into outer room, and
there empted on the floor in the midst Of the
crowd with the announcement There's your
mall! In important centrea however, letters
were refused to applicants at the office. They
were given to the clerks, who cked out a meagre
salary by the five or ten cents letter which
they were able to wiring from the persons to
whom they delivered them. To admit under
these circumstances that the letters Of a for
eiener are part Of his personal property which
the captulations do not allow TO fall under
Turkish jurisdiction was quite natural
But these foreign postonices have done seri-
Gus harm to Turkey. The postofTices all more
than pay their expenses, and the profit is so
much dead loss to Turkish revenue. After a
time the Turks found that watches jewelry
and other articles Of value came into the coun-
try through the foreign posts. and not alone for
the private use Of foreigners. Merchants,
whether ottoman subjects or not import valua-
BILE goods in this way TO an extent that has
brought considerable loss to the Turkish Gus
tom houses. Finally, reyoutionists, Young
Turks, ard what not, use the foreign postofilces
for dealings with local malcontents and for
sending from abroad soditious papers, even into
the palace OF the Sultan himself Establish
ments capable Of such abuse, from the Turkish
point Of view should be abolished without wait
ing until the next day
The foreign governments have yielded to the
objections Of the Turks so far as to send all
packages Of commercial matter to the Turkish
custom house for delivery, and they generally
hand over to the tender mercies of the Turkish
authorities letters which are clearly for Turkish
subjects. On special request the foreign post
Offices commonly suppress, also, any number OF
a newspaper whose peculiarly obnoxious con
tents have been telegra phed to the Turkish
police by its representatives abroad But on
the main question that Of the suppression OF
the postofIices. they have uniformly replied that
these Offices will be closed as soon as Turkey
provides a safe and efficient postal administra-
ton.
When Turkey joined the international Postal
Union about twenty years ago, it organized an
international postofiice under supervision Of an
Enelishnan borrowed from the English Post
master General. This vas expected TO take the
place Of the foreign Offices as soon as It had
shown It's efficiency The money IN circulation
then was below par and five cent stamp at
the Turkish office cost about four cents. This
fact brought large business TO the new post
Office But as soon as success seemed TO nave
assured the position, the Turkish Government
put police officials into the office to reap
the gain Of the expected closure OF the foreign
Offices These pen treated the mails as their
own property Letters failed to reach their des-
tination. or on delivery day late showed that

they had been opened by dirty fingers. News
paper correspondents who ntrusted their manu-
scripts to the Turkish Office found themselves
blown up by angry editors for failing TO send
letters Merchants found trade secrets being
acted upon by natives who had "pulr' at the
postofllce. while their own letters were detained
until their contents could be thus utilized. Sew
era times men were arrested on charges OF
sedtion. and on the trial It came out that the
evidence was obscure passage in some bust
ness letter opened in the postoiiice. Even in the
money order department there were scandals
Money disappeared, and the postofHce refused
payment. alleging that it had done its duty in
dscharging the thief. whom the holder Of the
money order must sue II he would have his
money.
ESCAPING THE TURKISH CENSORSHIP.
The result was that the European govern
ments would not admit that an Office where such
things occurred was safe or efficient, and de
clined to close their postoiiccs. In fact, OF all
the Powers the United States alone in its inno-
ccncc Of guile adopted this Turkish postoIice
as a serious business enterprise II made a
postal treaty by which all mail from America
for the Turkish Empire is sent to the Turkish
rostohicc in closed bags. Now. it happens that
one Of the great dangers Of the age to Turkey
is the reading Of perncious literature. Turkey
forbids the sale Of hundreds " books such as
Milton, Byron, Shakespeare. Dante and his
torical works that have not been written under
the Turkish Board IF Censorship. But the post
Office brings into the country not only such dan
gerous works. but magazines Ike The Nine
tcenth Century or The Contemporary" and
papers like The New-York Tribune Or The
London Daily News" AS as the United
ish postonice Americans living in Turkey be
gan to fail Of receiving their newspapers and
magazines, and even letters which were deemed
perncious And to-day the only escape Of
Americans in that country from submission TO
the Turkish dctum as to what they may read
is by having all their mail matter marked open
mail" and so kept out Of that famous closed
bag which the too conhdng Department at
Washington sends by every mail steamer from
New York
Turkey has repeatedly sought ~ cajolery and
threats TO carry it's point The quick mail
from Europe used to 90 10 Constantinople by
Austrian steamer from the railroad terminus at
Varna. in Bulgaria. Turkey announced about
ten years ago that the carrying Of mails be
tween two Turkish ports by foreign ships was
not legal Turkish steamers would therefore
receive and deliver the mail bags at Varna,
and the foreign postofices would have to be
closed But the Turkish steamers missed CON
noction every time The experiment was con
tinued ten days. amid the laughter OF the Eu-
ropean world. The Turks put on their fastest
