TURKEY
FACES CRISIS
Enmity to the Sultan Exists Even
Among His Advisers.
REVOLT IN ARABIA GROWS
Said to be no Doubt That the Turk
ish Troops Have Been Badly
Worsted by the Insurgents
In That Country.

London, March 27.-Advices received
here from Constantinople are to the
effect that affairs are rapidly reaching
a dangerous pass there.
Turkish finances are in great confu-
sion. All government salaries are
from six to eight months In arrears.
Upward of 100000 Turkish pounds
Is due for war material while the
military expenditure is daily increas-
ing, in order to cope with the rebellion
in the province of Yemen, in southern
Arabia, and the possible rising in Mac
edonia.
There is no doubt that the Ottoman
troops received a severe check at the
hands of the Arab insurgents, who, in
manifesto denouncing the sultan,
proclaimed his brother. Mohammed-
Reshad Effendi, sultan, with the title of
Mohammed V.
Enmity to Sultan Spreads.
The Young Turkish party has adj
hered to the Arabian proclamation. and
the open enmity to Abdul Hamid. the
sultan, has spread to the palace and the
sultan's advisers. Izzet Bey is said to
be preparing for, flight.
The patrols of Constantinople have
been doubled. Mohammedans and
Christians are arrested hourly, and
large numbers are daily shipped to
Asia Minor.
The tension between Bulgarians and
Mussulmans in Macedonia is extreme.
1t is reported that another band of
marauders has crossed Bulgaria into
Macedonia. >

COMBINE DID
NOT REPLY
Allowed One Weeks Time to Con-
slider Fire Ordinance.
A TRUST In FIRE CHIEFS
Frank Brand and Edward F. Kane
Present Arguments in Favor
of the Ordinance-Would
Ordinance be Legal.

The members Of the Fire and Law
Committees Of City Council, to whom
was referred the ordinance directing that
the fire chief and assistant engineers be
elected in rotation from all the fire COM
panies, gave hearing to representatives
of both the anti-combine and combine
fire companies in the City Council cham
ber last evening. A large delegation Of
fremen was present.
Mr.. Oberly, chairman Of the Law Com
mittee, presided and seated with him at
the presidents desk were Mr.. Mousley,
chairman Of the Fire Committee and
President Alexander. Other councilmen
present were Messrs. Pierson, Cannon,
Smith, Monaghan, Healy, Johnston,
Willis and Stewart Chief Welsh was
an interested spectator.
The proposed ordinance was first read.
On. motion Of Mr.. Monaghan it was de-
cided to limit each side to one hour.
Mr.. Oberly decided to hear the anti
combine representatives first.
Frank Brand was the first speaker for
the anti-combine. He said he spoke for
the young inactive men who were denied
the right to advance above that of
h0seman. He declared that there was
combine which had been in existence
for 10 years. That it was trust which
produces and distributes fire chiefs. He
held that while the sealing was not done
for ten years, it was done for only two
years mt time, but 1t was renewed
every two years.
Edward II. Kane spoke next for the
anti-combine, declaring that it was not
square deal that they all met on the
fire ground and never said they would
not obey the chief and assistants. He
praised the combine companies for stick
ing to their seals. He declared that they
were willing to let the matter 90 with
out argument il it was found that the
ordinance could not legally be adopted.
the anticombine companies were willing
to go on just as they have. Perhaps
the combine companies might see the
justice Of it and again be willing to 20
into conventions and nominate officers.
Ex-Chief Dennis s.. Shields rerlre.
seTiting the combine companies, SAID tnat
it was the first time they had heard the
ordinance and resolutions read and he
was unable to say how they stood. He
said they desired to have a copy of it
and have time to act on it and make
reply.
On motion ,ot Mr.. Alexander the COM
,sine companies were given one weeks
tune In which to frame reply.
Some af the combine members after
the meeting declared that the ordinance
was in conflict with the act of 1891 and
would not be accepted by the combine
companies even II passed by Council,
but the matter would be taken to court.
The Law Committee considered the
ordinance authorizing the borrowing of
money and decided to report it favor
ably. About 100000 will be required.

the family.
An investigation made by the police
showed that man by the name of

boarding at the house, had some trouble
with the inmates and so left. His friends
'ay that he had no i'll feeling toward the

Involuntary Passengers.

When the Hongkong Maru was made
ready to sail for the Orient shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday the fact that
her hour of departure was approaching
was not made known to visitors on
the vessel. The result was that when
the stern line was cast loose the vessel
Immediately swung away from the dock
several feet. The gangway was filled
with visitors returning to the shore
and they were thereby suspended be-
tween the sky and the deep blue sea
on a not too steady platform. A swing
ing plank was extended from the gang
way to the dock and held by the hands
of half a dozen sturdy Hawaiians but
those on the gangway were 10th to
make the attempt to come ashore by
that means. The officers on the vessel
saw the predicament in which they had
placed the visitors and the stern line
was at once sent ashore again and the
Hongkong Maru drawn in closer to the
shore. Among those who were caught
on the swaying gangway were Mrs. J..
S. McGrew, Miss Gillette, Mr.. Tarn
McGrew, Hon. Mkt Saito, japanese
Consul and Mrs. Saito, and a number
of prominent Japanese of this city The
incident caused much amusement to
those on shore although those most in
terested were led to believe that they
| must return to shore on the Fearless.
Quite reception was held on board
| the vessel for Mrs. Masuda, mother of
MI. Masuda of the Japanese Immigra-
| ton Bureau, who returned to Japan
The Japanese Consul called and paid
MS respects and the levee was quite
interesting to those Of the passengers

to the quaint etiquette of the Japanese

aboard the vessel to return to japan
Their baggage was of the most monde
