pended as ''of counsel"
After reviewing the various points in

Mr.. Stanley has not formulated the
text of his recommendations to the leg
islature but says he has concluded to
recommend the abOliShment of the fol-
lowing boards:
State board of health, nine members.
State military board. three members.
State dental board, five members.
Directors state penitentiary, three.
Directors state reformatory, three.
State board of charities, five mem
bers.
Board of regents university, seven
Board of regents state normal. seven
members
Regents of Agricultural college. seven
members.
Live stock sanitary commission, three
members.
In addition to these places the COVER
nor will doubtless recommend the re-
duction of force in numerous institu-
tions-
The governor said to a State Journal
reporter while discussing the subject or
state appointments and the number of
places now in existence under the state
government:
There is no doubt in my mind now
that we have too many places to fill. A
lot of them ought to be abolished and I
propose to recommend such action to
the legislature
AN educational commission and am
not sure but what an educational COM
missioner, could look after the business
at the state institutions just as well as
the board of regents do The regents
meet at stated intervals and pass upon
business handled by the officers of the
state schools and then adjourn There
was wisdom in the original creation of
such boards but now that we have ad-
ditional institutions the number of men
necessary to attend to the duties Gre
ated and established under the head of
regents and other officials is far too
great. It should be cut down, if posi-
BILE, to one man who is a commissioners
Of education.
eThen as to the military department.
At regular intervals military board
meets in this city. the members draw
ing good pay, to dispose of official busi-
ness which is presented Dy the adjutant
general who has already probably done
the work. The action of the board is
wholly perfunctory and it is not a nee
essary adjunct to the state government.
The department could exist without
| such a board because the adjutant gem
eral is really the man to whom this bus
mess should be entrusted. The governor
| is the commander'-in-chi of all the
militia in the state but he simply does
things outlined by the adjutant general.
| The ad5utant general should be respon-
sible for the work in his department
| and the presence of a military board at
! any time is unnecessary and is use
| less expense to the state.

Sultan VIII Not Pay Until Com
PEELED to Do So.
Reply to American Note, if One
Be Furnished,
WILL BE IN NEGATIVE.
Sending of a War Ship to the
Mediterranean
Is Thought to Be the Only So
luton of the Matter.

Constantinople, Friday, April 27.-The
United States legation has not received
she porte's answer to the note handed
10 Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign
minister. by the American charge
daffaires, regarding the indemnity
claims; and the impression is gaining
ground that the reply will be in the
negative or even that no reply will be
made The latter alternative, however,
seems to be unlikely. The general opin-
ion is that without a display of force
the porte certainly will not pay the
claims, because it wishes to show the
Moslem world that it only yields to
force.
1t is not considered here that a simple
rupture of diplomatic relations will rem
der the porte easier to deal with, but
rupture of formal relations is not
thought necessary as the sending of a
war ship to a Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain a settlement of the
matter in less than "a hours.
The same proposition Tor a settlement
of the indemnity question by an order
for war ship in the price of which the
indemnity should be included, was for
merly made to France and Italy, but NJ
Constans and Senior Panza rejected the
proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation
at the Yildiz Kiosk.
WHY RUSSIA?
Paris, April 2S.-The Figaro, referring
to the reported intention of the United
States to make a naval demonstration
in the Mediterranean in connection with
the indemnity claims says:
1T would be interesting to know if a
foreign power has the right to take ex-
ecutive measures against Turkey with
out a previous accord with the European
powers which signed the treaty of Paris.
If Russia has really advised Washing
ton to use more moderation, she has
acted quite within her rights, but why
Russia rather than other powers?"

efficiency and in such a manner as
would largely decrease the expense now
necessary in maintaining them.
For the management and control of
the penitentiary,r reform school and state
refor1natory, I would suggest a board of
three members. For the state charit-
able institutions I would recommend a
board of three members" continued the
governor. For the state soldiers home
at Dodge City I would continue the
present plan, board of three members,
and I would add the requirement that
only old soldiers could fill the posi-
tions.
IN place of the live stock sanitary
commission of three members 1 would
have one man, a state inspector or com
missioner of live stock, who should have
absolute control of the whole business
of shipping cattle in and out of the
state.
L wish to add" said the governor,
that on these boards would have the
law provide that the political party
casting at the election prior to the time
the appointment would be made, the
second highest number of votes should
have representation, one member there
