Disorder in turkey.

the magistracy every part OF the ma
chine of government is in hopeless
condition. In the opinion of the diplo-
matte body at Constantinople. any at

merely futile effort.
The news of the French intervention
was suppressed at Constantipole for
three days, but the sultan's cabinet be-
ing in constant session showed that SER
ious crisis, had arisen. The sultan has
been in a, condition of epileptic fury,
and his ministers, who live in hopeless
terror of their lives at his, hands, We're
helpless and afraid to do or suggest
anything 1t is believed in CONSTANT
nople that Russia is behind France in
this business, and it is felt that the

lead to developments in the eastern

FEAR THE UNITED STATES.
Russian Paper Says Europe Is As
founded by Its Progress.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 21.-[Correspond-
ence OF the Associated Press = The
Russian leader writers have put Pres
dent Roosevelt and the United States
on the list of their regular themes.
Scarcely day passes without some
newspaper devoting a serious editorial
to the development of the political and
economical power of the United States.
This i'll itself is gratifying. but what is
more so is that nearly all the papers are
sympathetic and many display accurate
insight into American affairs. The
Course Gazette had the following day
or two ago:
& 1.-The statesman who has Unexpectedly
assumed the reins at Washington is the
perfect type of the American of today.
and before him lies wider horizon
tkan any of his predecessors enjoyed.
Between the United States of our day
and the republic of which the history of
the last century told US there is little in
common. The classic land of freedom.
the country which has developed its
prosperity to wonderful dimensions and
which has realized the boldest Utopias
and the most daring theories of political
and social liberty. the great trans
Atlantic republic. territies the imagina-
tion of Europeans.
1t is a new giant, a state which the
latest events have made world power:
a state which has transformed itself TO
a point of unrecognizability. and is bent
Upon transforming the whole world, pro-
claiming thru its new chief magistrate
that the word Of the United States shall
have due weight everywhere where eco
nomic and political questions are de-

MAY Force Men Into the War.

London. Nov. 1l.-During the lengthy
cabinet conferences this past week
representative of the Associated Press
learned the question of reinforcing the
old ballot laws came up for discussion.
Many of the cabinet ministers were
strongly in favor of putting in practice
this form of CONSUMPTION for which GER
tain obsolete laws already provide. Thus
new legislation would be obviated. The
war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, has al
ready caused guarded feelers on this
matter to be circulated in the press, for
If appears to be almost impossible tc
keep the home forces up to the adequate
strength and supply the necessary re-
Inducements for South Africa on the
volunteer system of enlistment alone.
Such strenuous measure, however,
doubtless will cause storm of disap
prevail in Great Britain and ii will not
be enacted unless the war situation be-
comes graver. What changes have come
over the state of the country in two
years can be Judged from the fact that
the war Office has closely examined the
old ballot laws and has prepared an
elaborate plan by which they can be
sprung upon the public at moments
notice.

Boston, Mass, Nov 11--Rigid enforce

readiness for war to defend the nations
rights. prompt construction of the 18TH
mian canal and early enactment of reci-
proeity treaties, especially with Cuba
and France, were the policies advocated
by United States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge in an address at the Middlesax
Club dinner here.
An exceptionally large number of the
clubs members attended the dinner,
which was given at Young's Hotel in the
afternoon. Edgar II. Champln presided,
and the gathering included many of the
Massachusetts, delegation in congress,
state and national officers and promi-
rent republicans.
Senator Lodge and Michael j. Muir
ply, of Boston, were the only speakers,
the latter discussing the results of the
recent elections.
Senator Lodges address was listened
to with the closest attention. He began
with a warm tribute to the late Presi-

remarks strongly urged action by con-
