U. 5. AS WORLD POWER.
Austrian Savant's Views on the
United States as CONNER

Vienna, Aug. 24.-Professor Edward
Suess, the eminent publicist and
paleontologist, has given an interview
respecting the industrial and political
preponderance Of the United States
that attracts much attention, especial
ly as 1t confirms the anti-American
views of continental manufacturers
and economists. The professor. sur
veying international relations from the
standpoint Of a political philosopher.
observes that while the French revo-
luton was occasioned by the abuses OF
the privileged classes, the present sit
uation has been caused by revolution
In material conditions. Declining ma
tional sentiment should be replaced by
4 movement for the common defense
Of central European states against
American trusts, which are moving to
conquer foreign markets more surely
than they could be conquered by bat
tleships. The American balance of
trade has reached an unparalleled fig
ure and it Is a serious question. the
professor thinks, If the present polit-
lcal units Of central Europe are strong
enough to make an effective defense.

d1tions. The present shifting of the
center Of gravity Of the worlds forces
will create three great units, he says.
China, Russia and America. When
China is equipped with railroads it will
be found she has the most capable
merchants and the cheapest labor.

uLT|MATUM TO SULTAN.
French Ambassador Notifies Him He
Will Leave if Demands Are
Not Met.

Constantinople Aug. 26-French AM
bassador Constans today. sent 4 letter
to the Sultan, personally informing
him he and the entire staff of the en-
bassy would leave Constantinople if
matters in dispute were not settled i'm
mediately. The letter was in the ma
ture Of an ultimatum, according the
sultan the brefest delay within which
to comply with the demands.
Paris, Aug. 26.-While the officials OF
the French foreign office decline to con-
firm or deny the dispatch Of the Asso-
ciated Press from Constantinople an
nouncing that the French ambassador
has sent the sultan a letter which is in
the nature of an ultimatum, they ad-
nit having received a telegram from NJ
ConstanS which has been laid before
the council now sitting at the Elysee
palace.
1t is learned that M. Constans has
been given a free hand. Any step he
finds proper to take will be fully iii
dorsed The foreign minister, NJ. Del
casse, if he deems it necessary, will
withdraw the French embassy from
Constantinople, and Munir Bey, the
Turkish ambassador, who is now In
Switzerland, will be notified not to re-
turn to Paris, in which case Munir Bey
will probably move the legation to
Berne, as he is also accredited as min
lister to Switzerland.
No naval demonstration is yet con-
templated, but the sultan probably Will
be seriously Inconvenience by the clos
ure of the Turkish embassy here, which
is the center Of the espionage main
tanned to watch the numerous young
Turks and other disaffected Ottoman
subjects and voluntary exiles, who
make their headquarters in Paris and
who will nave free hand if diplomatic
relations between France and Turkey
are completely broken off.
The entire group of Turkish securi
ties fell on the bourse yesterday, in
some cases going down 10 to II francs
Paris, Aug. 24.--The newspapers here
under the influence of the overwheln
ing joy at the cars approaching visit
are paying scant attention to Constan-
tinople, and generally are taking the
view that the matter will soon be set
tied to Frances satisfaction.
The coming Of the car is causing in
tense satisfaction throughout the coun-
try. All the council generals are sit
ting, and even those with a majority ir
opposition to the government are pass
ing resolutions Of an enthusiastic ma
ture over the cars coming visit which
is having good effect.

AFTER'10AG LITIGATION
Chas. N. Nordstrcm Hanged a,
Seattle for Murder Committed
Nearly Ten Years Ago.
HIS LAWYERS REMARKABLE FIGHT
Colonel JAS. Hamilton Lewis Carried the
case Through the Whole Gnmur OF
state and Federal Courts Twice
Insanity Plea Failed.

Seattle, Aug. 26.-Charles w. Nord.
strom, who was hanged at the King
county Jail this morning, committed
the deed Tor Which he was convicted
over nine years ago, November 80, 1891
Nordstrom worked during the fall of
that year for Thomas Mason, a ranch
er, near Cedar Mountain. He had had
a dispute about small amount of
wages due him. On the night Of the
murder William Mason was sitting
down to supper with his father. Some
one fired a shot from outside the WIN
dow Young Mason pitched forward
and died in short time. An investi-
CATION showed the prints of the muir
derer's feet as he had stood beside the
fence corner and rested his rife on the
top rail. Several days later Nord-
strom with a Winchester rifle Of the
same caliber with which the victim
was murdered, was arrested. He told
conflicting stories. On trial he was
convicted. The case was appealed to
the supreme court of this state, which
refused to grant a new trial. Colonel
James Hamilton Lewis became associ-
ated with counsel in the caes. He
fought 1T in the federal court on a writ
or habeas corpus which was denied
He carried the matter to the supreme
court of the United States and lost the
case. He then went to the superior
court of King county and waited for
a commission Of physicians to examine
into the mental condition of Nord-
strom. This was granted. The
doctors pronounced the man sane.
Lewis demanded a jury trial as to
Nordstrom's sanity. The superior
court denied this. In the supreme court
OF this state Lewis appeal of this
question was overruled. Then Lewis
carried this to the supreme court of
the United States also. He was over
ruled in both cases. Since then Lewis
has applied to the federal and superior
courts for stay of proceedings and
has been refused. The entire litigation
has taken nine years. Lewis last night,
In spite of his announcement the 9th
er day that he had left the case, was
out of the city looking for writ of
prohibition from some supreme court
justice. The governor refused to in

All the horses got cordial recep-

FOR Charley Herr had gone up in the

two lengths in front of the Geers horse.
AT the threequarters Lord Derby was
breathing into Ketcham's back. The
Eli horse was far back and out of
the race. Coming home Geers got all
he could out of his gelding, but the
mighty strides Of Cresceus brought him
In ahead by half length. The time

In the second heat Cresceus drew
away from Lord Derby, until at the

1t the three-quarters, however, the
Kentucky horse had his nose at Cres-

actually ahead of Cresceus, but at that
