THE SULTAN,S FIX.

The Sultan of all the Turks has sue The crisis with France was brought on because the French Quays Company asked him to enforce the conditions or the concessions under which the quays
 were built, or to buy it out for $S,OOo,- 000 He cannot enforce the conditions of the concessions, which were that all ships should unload at the wharves and pay high rates for the privilege, as treaties with various countries fix the charges which the ships of those coun- tries shall pay, and England, Austria, Roumania and Greece had formally pro- tested against the charges which the
 company asked. Russia, which had similar treaty, had remained neutral. The treaties and the concessions to the company are in conflict, and France wants the concessions enforced, regard less of the treaties. The only way out seems to be for the Sultan to buy the quays, and he is not yet ready to spend the money that it will take.
 As it isn't anything new for the Sul- tan to have troubles he probably isn't greatly worried about the last one. And as he is a skillful squirmer he may squirm out of this one, as he has out of others. War isn't yet in sight ex- cept on the front pages of ''the vel lows"

THE NEW ERJF4N T4RTFF.

The proposed new German tariff will not please those whom it attacks and some of those whom it protects will not feel sufficiently protected by 1t, The new duties. especially in the schedule of manufactures, are not to be as big as was expected, Shoes, for example, which now pay from 10 to 15 cents per pair according to weight, will pay, un- der the new tariff, from 25 to 30 cents per pair; but the tax will not be pro- hibitory, since duty of 25 cents pair would not keep out good shoes. So Of bicycles on which the duty is nearly trebled. Increasing the duty from S1.2 on a bicycle weighing 22 pounds to $3.57 may exclude low-grade wheels but not the best ones. German manufac- turers are, in fact, loud in their com plaints that the proposed new duties on competing wares are inadequate, especially if considered in relation to the larger increases upon imported toodstuffs.

A few days ago a steamship from Porto Rico arrived at New Orleans with a cargo of sugar. It attracted great attention, for not in years has New Orleans seen a sugar vessel from abroad at its quays.

Denver. June 25.-The Capitol hill

Shortly after 0 o'clock last night
Celestlne Coleman. the seventeen-ycar-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman

but a meager description. The blud-
geon used was found in a vacant rot
near the scene of the assault on West

nor. The weapon is in the hands o.
the police.
Miss Coleman was knocked senseless
by the blow and was carried into the

The assault was witnessed by John

her from the opposite direction In
which the girl was proceeding on
West Thirty-ninth avenue. They
heard dull blow and heard Miss

through a vacant lot and disappear in
the alley. Mr.. Few realizing what
had happened, cried at the top of his

Change of Diplomats

The following changes in diplomatic
posts have been announced.
Francis Il. LoomiS, minister to Ven
ezuela. has been transferred 20 be min
ister to Portugal. vice John n. Irwin
of Iowa, resigned.
Herbert w. Bowen of New York,
present minister TO Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas, succeeding Mr.
Loomis as minister 10 Venezuela.
Lloyd C. Griscom of Pennsylvania
present first secretary of legation at
Constan,inople, has been made minis
ter to Persia.
Spencer F. Eddy of Illinois. present
second secretary at Paris, has been
made first secretary at Constantinople,
10 succeed Mr.. Griscom.
Arthur Bailey Blanchard or Louis
lana has been promoted from third to
second secretary at Paris.
The change. so far as it concerns
the Venezuelan ministers, is said at the
State Department to have no partic-
ular political significance. Mr.. Loomis
goes elsewhere than Caracas at his
own request and desire. 1t is true that
the Venezuelan government has eX-
pressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Loom
is in more ways than one, but the fact
that the minister is not removed from
the diplomatic service. but is given an
other post of equal dignity and honor,
is n mark of esteem of the State De-
partment. 1t may be noted also that
Mr.. Bowen, the new minister to Car
acas. goes to his post with instructions
on the same line as those supplied to
Mr.. Loomis, which formed the basis
for his action. SO that Mr.. Bowen, who
is man of great vigor. is likely to fol-
low Mr.. LOOMS footsteps in the mat
ter Of policy.

that connection the fact was brought TO
light that perhaps the Supreme Court
would not consider it until October,
when Chief Justice Campbell will have

If the judges now in Denver prefer
to wait the return of the chief justice
it means the tying up of the flat tax

they will be prevented by the. writ
and the injunction from proceeding
