THE SULTAN IS READY.
And Does Not Dread Uncle Sans
UItimatum the Least.


New York, April 21.-A special
to the Tribune from Washington,
says: If Ali Ferruh Bey commu-
nicates with his government to-
day the sultan must now be fully
aware of the gravity with which
the United States regards the ex-
listing state of affairs. 1t is incon-
ceivable that the minister has not
warned his sovereign of the Amer
lean attitude after officially learrs
ing at the state department today
that the matter had not been mag
nified by the press, that the patti
ence of the president and the peo-
pie had been exhausted and that
the prompt retention of the sui
tan's repeated promise might have
to be preemptorIly demanded.
A special to the World from
Washington says:
1t is intimated today by diplo-
mats familiar with the situation
that the Sultan Of Turkey does not
care particularly whether an ulti-
matum is issued by the United
States, because of the neglect to
pay the claim for 500, 900 (which
the United States is now demand
ing, after years of promises, as he
has means of reprisal at hand.
There are in the Philippines
more than 100000 Mohamme-
dams, in the Sulu Islands, whose
devotion to their Caiipha is fana-
tic. The sultan would have but to
lift his finger and the Malays and
Moros would join forces with the
Tagalos. The war in Luzon would
be extended in every direction
throughout the islands and the
American forces would necessarily
have to be greatly increased.
More than that, a break would
give the sultan longdesired
chance to renounce certain treaties
between the United States and the
Ottoman empire. One of these,
concluded shortly after COmmo-
dore Decatur punished the Trip
olitan pirates, guarantees that any
American accused of a crime or
misdemeanor within the Turkish
empire shall be tried only by a
United States consular court and
be punished only according to
American laws. This is a privil-
lege not granted to the subjects of
any other power and its advantages
are of peculiar Importance to the
missionaries in Turkey

Grow Cotton.

Let cotton growing continue,
and if in any case the average is
increased let it not be at the ex-
pense of other crops. Diversified
tion has been carried too far, and
the results have been too favorable
fer any backward step to be taken.
The present condition of agricul-
ture in the southwest, which is
admittedly better than for many
years past, has resulted from the
growing of needed home supplies,
increased attention to live stock.
and in many cases the production
of valuable speciaIties. Cotton is,
and will continue to be our chief
export staple, and it must not be
neglected, but it must be grown as
cheaply as possible, and fortified
by such an array of subsidiary
products that the cotton money
need not be expended for farm
supplies. At the same time care
must be taken that cotton be kept
within limit that will insure pro-
fitable prices. s.-Farm and Ranch.
