Relations with Turkey strniaed.


A special from Washington SAYS: The
most serious international question that
eonfronts the government Is the eollec-
ton of the indemnity which Turkey
was asked To pay for the outrages on
American missionaries and colleges in
Armenia several years ago, and the
negotiations have reached a point where
the government has under considara-
ton several radical courses. any of
which may result in serious interna-
tional difficulty. That the matter will
come to a head very soon is evident
from what was learned few DAYS ago.
The attitude of Turkey is such that
patience has ceased to he a virtue and
the pride of the United States has been
seriously offended
Nearly every honorable diplomatic
attempt To bring Turkey n sense of
her obligation to the United States
has been tried without success The
next step. according to what has been
told. will not probably take the case out

WASHINGTON. April 22-At a late
hour tonight the state department had
not received official adviees from its
representative at Constantinuple in re-
gard to the claims. The audaeious
proposition will not be entertained for
moment An official of the state de
partlnent said tonight the claims of
other nations had not yet been settled
and the proposal now made by the sui
tan that the United States should sub
mit its claims for indemnity to the
Turkish courts was ridiculous
The Ottoman courts are, Of coarse,
romposed entirely of Mohammodans
They meet in secret aud their methods
of procedure are such that no civilized
nation would submit TO them. IL would
not take them long to throw the oase of
u Christian ont of cour5, aud to allow
such courts to decide claims of mission

and Turkey give American citizens the

by the American minister or consul

Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minister
may he given his passports sooner than
was anticipated and strong measures
may be taken to bring the Turks to
terms. The question has gone beyond
the court stage and it now remains for
Turkey To carry ont the promises 1t has
made repeatedly.

Mr.. Greeley had eaten so many crullers

told that cheese in moderation is

excitement, treated the cheese as he
had treated the crullers. Finally all
the cheese disappeared, to the astonfsh-

hostess.
A few moments later, the discussion
having ended, she was astonished to

Speed & Henning building, where
four women lost their lives on account
OF the fire few days ago. A half
dozen pigeons were circling around the
windows and the roof. They flew from

of the street, lighted on the blackened
window sills Of the Inflated building.
and chirruped occasionally as if asking
questions of the people passing by.
'Those birds lost their little ones in
that fire." nodded one of the men.
They had nests under the caves and
around the roof. The flames either
licked up their nests and shriveled the
baby pigeons, or else the drenching the
fire department gave the top of the
building broke up their homes. At
any rate, the nestlings are gone, and
the mother birds have lowered about
there ever since. At first they chat
tered about it among themselves in
great excitement. Now, | notice that
they have settled down 10 a sort of
plaintive despair, and their visits are

COULD NOT KEEP THEM OUT.

During the time when the alien eX-
puIsion law was in force in the Trans
vaaI three Cinnamon arrived at the
little border town of Volksrust The
Transyaal authorities had not had
much experience Of Cinnamon up to
this, but they were not taken with the
appearance of the new corners and
promptly put them back over the Ma
tai border. For the next three weeks
the police at different points Of the
line were engaged in returning the
Cinnamon to the colony. They were
dragged out Of freight cars, securely
slowed away under the tarpaulin COW
ers; were rooted out of transport Wag-
ons journeying along the main road;
were picked out Of gangs of KafIirs,
with their faces daTkened so as to re-
semble their companions, travelling in
cattle trunks. The Cinnamon retain
ed all their normal cheerfulness. At
ter time the Cinnamon were seen no
more in those parts and they passed
out Of the minds of the officials. But
later on three strange Cinnamon were
unearthed in JeppertOWn doing a -four
ishing business among the Kaffirs, but
the alien law was just then being
quashed and they were allowed to
abide where they were. The incident
supplies a curious illustration of the
yellow mans persistence.

TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Discovery That viii Prove Valuable In
Early Diagnosis of the Disease.

In an interesting article in The indie
pendent on the medical congress at
Paris, where nearly 1000 doctors were
in attendance about 500 from the Unit
ed States, DR.. James J. Walsh says: 1t
is encouraging to note with how much
more confidence medical men look up
On tuberculosis than they did only a
few years ago. The new medical con-
fidence in the power to treat the dis
ease is not begotten of any trust in new
drugs. Certain compounds of arsenic
that have been used extensively in
Europe are, it is true, very highly
recommended by trustworthy OBJ
servers, but the realization has come
that in the sanitarium treatment Of
tuberculosis lies the key of the mystery
of the therapeutics of the white
scourge Of the north" Not drugs, but
fresh air, suitable food in abundance
and a properly regulated life are the
long-sOught-fOr panacea. The doctor
no longer advises the tuberculosis pa
tent to give up his occupation and
take plenty of exercise in the open air.
Exercise, especially at times Of high
temperature, will almost surely be
harmful. Every moment of the day is
regulated. Rain or shine, long hours
are passed in the open air, the sleeping
apartment is open to the air at night,
all exercise is forbidden whenever the
temperature is above normal, and the
diet is so arranged that the intake OF
food materials shall more than COM
pensate for what the daily metabolism
consumes.
A Frenchman applying the principle
Of WidaI's reaction in the diagnosis OF
typhoid fever to tuberculosis has dis
covered that the same dumping occurs
in tubercle bacilIi if a drop of blood
from man or animal suffering from tu-
berculosis be added to them. This new
method Of diagnosis promises to prove
as beneficial as the corresponding reac-
ton in typhoid fever, it being agreed
that for assured success in the treat
ment Of the disease the treatment need
only to be undertaken early

TALKING WITHOUT WIRES.
Practical Working of the Radiophone
Explained

In Parsons Magazine G. MOntgom-
cry McGovern describes at length the
radiophone, the new invention for talk
ing to persons miles away without the
use OF wires. The general principle Of
operation is described as follows:
At the sending point-let US suppose
it is fghthOuse-is a sound-proof
telephone box. On the table in this
telephone box there are four ordinary
transmitters instead of the single
transmitter in common usage, and the
four pairs Of wires that run from these
tTansmitters extend to the back Of an
ordinary searchlight placed just out
side the box. the wires first passing
through a small knife switch" and
through a small resistance box anG
regulator on their way to the search
light. Now supposing the person it is
desired to talk to is the captain Of al
incoming steamer which is some two
miles away. There is an ordinary
telephone box in the pilot-house Of the
ship, where instead of the wire" tele-
phone receiver there hangs on the wall
Of the box a circular, concave mirror.
in the center of which is fixed a small
glass bulb-shaped like the glass Of a
thermometer-the glass bulb being half
filled with carbonized filament. The
small end OF this glass bulb penetrates
through to the back Of the mirror.
where it fits into the end Of an ordin-
airy photograph ear tube, whose oppo-
site ends are placed in the captains
ears. The searchlight at the sending
station is now thrown upon the mirror
in the pilot-house, the person in the
land station talks in loud voice and
Immediately the captain hears the
voice as clearly and distinctly as if it
were at his elbow instead Of a mile Or
two away.
The essential principle of the radio
phonetic scientific basis upon which
it works. says the inventor, Mr.. Ham
mcnd '. Hayes Of Boston, Mass, is
that varied heat waves can be trans
mitted in beam of light to a receiver
