northeast, for the purpose of considering
the subject Of establishing Young Mems
Christian Association in East Washington.
There were present about fifty representa-
tiyes of the churches of all denominations
in that section Of the city. Mr.. H. F.
Harmon of the Ninth Street Church acted
as chairman and Mr.. T. R. Pirtle as sec
retary. Those present were enthusiastic
in the support Of the proposition MI
Paul F. Sleman, the secretary or the
Washington Y NJ c. A, was present and
expressed himself in favor of the PROPOSE
tion. If a sufficient membership to support
the organization could be obtained he
said his association would be glad IN sucn
a case to lend all assistance possible
A resolution was adopted to appoint
committee consisting of one memper OF
each church present and represented al
the meeting to draw up resolution ana
formulate plans necessary to complete a
preliminary organization and to call mass
meeting in the near future to consider the
project and take final action thereon
The people interested in this matter nave
had two previous meetings, and the senti-
ment in favor of forming the organization
ia very strong One reason for such sep
arate organization is the inconvenience OF

This City for Trial.

Detective Weldon has returned from New
York, whittier he went for the purpose OF
appearing before United States Commits
sioner Shields yesterday afternoon In the
case of George Hayford. who is under ar
rest there on a charge of having passed
worthless drafts on the Douglass County
Bank at Seattle, Wash. The prisoner, who
is an attorney, appeared as his own coun-
sci. When the witnesses had been heard he
demanded that the cashier of the Douglass
Bank be summoned. claiming that he (Hay-
ford) not only had an account with the
bank, but that the institution is acting as
his agent in property transactions. His de-
niand was granted and the. bank official
will be summoned to appear in New York
on the 10th Of the month.
1t is stated that it will cost the govern
ment about $3.50 to produce the witness in
New York. During the hearing the defend
ant noted several exceptions to the COM
mfssioners rulings and announced that he
would make an effort to carry his case be-
fore Judge Brown before he would return

The Only Way to Impress the Sultan.
To the Editor of The Evening Star.

10 the Editor OF Inc Evening Star:
The United States will be forced to real
ize that she will never obtain satisfaction
from Turkey by moderate methods. Why
Is 1t that the sultan fears Russia, England
and Germany? 1t is because these coun-
tries never enter into discussion with the
Turkish government; they command, and
the sublime porte knows the significance of
their words.
To obtain satisfaction from a Turk money
must be held in one hand and a whip in the
other. If the one fails the other will be
sure to succeed.
At this time the Turkish army consists of
about 100000 men. and is divided into seven.
corps d 'armee. Each battalion Is made up
of 100 men, In one division there are six
battalions of infantry and twelve battalions
of retifs. two batteries and two squadrons
OF cavalry. All men are armed with the
MauSer guns.
The fleet is just toy. 1t is composed
of three cruisers, namely, the Hamidieh,
G,70D tons; the AyiZieh, &, 100 tons; the Os-
mamie. 6,4o0 tons, and of ten torpcdoes. The
reserve squadron is stronger in number, but
weaker in its power of attacking. 1t is
composed of three cruisers, the MISC
dfeh. 1900 tons; the Orkhsmieh. 64OO tons:
the Nedjun-i-Chefket. 1850 tons, and ten
torpedoes. Besides these there are the Ma
homondieh. the Assai-i-Teufik, eight cruz
SeES OIL S,Otu 10 4,ODO COll5, clSnC EunDOaIS
Of 200 tons, and twenty-five torpedo de-
stroyers. In time of peace. with the ex-
ception of several Sunboats, all the fleet
remains at the entrance of the Golden
Horn at Constantinople. and is never sub
ject to any revision by the officers.
When Greece declared war against Tur-
key in 1897 there was not one vessel that
was able to leave the Bosphorus in less
time than month When the vice admiral
reviewed the warships he found that all
the copper had been taken and sold and
that number of cannon of small caliber
had shared the same fate.

lowing morning the captain Of the torpedo

most of the officers did not know how to

forced to follow the coast hne. and two

In the Dardaneles, it remained there till

of not finding their country If they ever

This IS the strength OF the nation whose
sultan has promised for four years to pay

will be held only when an American cruiser

Cause of Arrest.

An unknown colored man who appeared
to be under the influence OF liquor was
knocked down by Columbia car near Sth
and K streets about IL o'clock last night.

not badly hurt.
When the man had been taken to the
hospital the policeman got on the car and
accompanied the motorman to the end of
the line at the power house. Then he went
with him to the ninth precinct station.

tfon that the injured man had refused
treatment at the hospital. and that he was
not seriously hurt. The motorman was re.
leased, to appear In court this morning.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny heard
the case, but could see no reason why a
charge should be preferred against the
motorman.

lowA's GREAT CROP YEAR.

The year 1900 has been great one for
crops in Iowa. There is no inclination
to dispute this statement The
Times Republican has published many
reports from various localities in the
Hawkeye state in proof of it. Confirma-
ton comes in the showing of Director
Sage Of the Iowa weather and crop SER
vice, whose preliminary estimate makes
the total OF all cereals this year 531 ,349. =
G20 bushels. This is 10O00.O0O bushels in
excess of the largest previous crop in the
history of the state. and 131,00OG00 in
excess of the average for the last ten
years. Iowa's greatest crop, that of
corn, .shows up With 353,365.06O bushels,
or lS,000000 in excess of the biggest corn
yield in the history of the state Not
only is the crop OF 1900 the greatest but
it is safe from the threat of frost. Best
of all it is being gathered at a time
when prices are unusually good. when
the prices Of all farm produce are profit
able. 1t means much to the farmers of
Iowa and to all her citizens, az the
state,s chief Industry is that of farm
ing. With the threat of a change in
our money standard removed by the en-
suing election, there is nothing to inter-
fere with increased activity in all BUSH
ness circles. With money in the banks
and heaps Of golden grain in the bins
Iowa is prepared for all the blasts of
winter as it has rarely ever been be-
fore.
