THE sULTAN's SPIES.

In no country and at no time of the worlds history has the spy system been developed to the point'i it has at tained in Turkey today. It is most elaborate organization, and costs an 5mmense amount of money. There are spies and ceunter-spies. and counter- spies to the fourth or fifth degree Their number is legion and they are 10 be found in all classes of society from the highest to the lowest. Be sides the minister of police, almost ey- cry high dignitary has his own service spies These are all rival organiza- 1ioins. and spend most of their time in spying and denouncing each other. All prominent persons are closely watched, and followed, even while shopping. and should they meet another person of note and exchange q few words, the fact is carefully noted Turks no 1opger dare assemble in par ties of five or six for the purpose of spending their evenings together. It Is impossible for three or four of them to sit down at table in coffee house without having a spy at the next. On such occasions they always speak very loud. so that everybody might hear them. Should a European converse with q Turk in the street a spy will follow them and try to find out what they are saying. The result of all this As that the Turks avoid one another-s company as much as possible, and Wheneyer they do come together the Conversation is on the most futile sub 5eefs, and quite childish.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

The Nevarros, by their wonderful acrobatic act at the Jacques. have de- 1aonstrated anew the keen wisdom which Manager Poli shows in the se- lection of vaudeville novelties. Ger tainly nothing in the way of acrobat icsi could be more novel and original than the feats they introduce, and he might have searched Europe over many times before finding novelty so genuinely attractive. He has shown no less wisdom in the choice of the American acts that complete the bill. so that the show is in it's entire ty one of the most attractive that can be imagined.

he had options on Puget sound have
raised the price OF lumber $3.50 higher

HJASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-According
W to an appointment made satur-
day. Sir Michael Herbert, the
new British ambassador, was presented
TO the president today by Secretary
Hay. The presentation took place at
the temporary White House on Jack

mansion that the credentials of an am
bassador or minister have been re-
ceived outside of its doors.
Instead of calling al the state de

course, the ambassador proceeded di-
rectly 10 the temporary White House

their diplomatic uniforms. Secretary

scented him TO President Roosevelt in

NEW YORK CONFERENCE.
Basis of Settlement Could Not Be
Reached.

Basis of Settlement Could Not Be
Reached.
New York, Oct. 13.-No settlement OF
the strike in the anthracite coal re-
gions has been reached, and. accord
ing to the statements OF three leading
operators, no reasonable basis has yet
been suggested 10 them. Any PROPOSE
ton embracing a 10 per cent increase
viii be ignored It was another busy
day for the operators. Before noon all
of them except President Baer were
in conference at the office of the Erie
road. Their talk lasted over an hour,
but no statement was made for publi
cation.
Following the conference, Chairman
Thomas of the Erie road and President
Truesdale of the Lackawanna were
closeted with j. p. Morgan at the lat
ter's Office. Mr.. Morgan would not talk
about the situation. nor would he say
anything regarding Secretary Roots
visit 20 him last Saturday.
In spite of the countless reports TO
the contrary. there is the best author
ity for stating that Mr. Morgan has
up TO this time taken no active part
in any settlement negotiations. He be-
lieves that the matter rests with the
coal presidents and is reported TO have
said as much to President Roosevelt
through Secretary Root last Saturday.
Rumors that the strike was ended
were heard in financial circles and in
the closing hour the stock market raj
lied very generally from its early de-
preston. These rumors were circu-
lated for the most part by brokerage
houses with western connections. The
conservative element paid little heed
and denials OF settlement were au-
thorized by representatives OF the
Lackawanna and Ontario & Western
roads.
In all probability the operators win
hold their regular weekly meeting in
this city tomorrow. President Baer is
expected to attend. Whether or not
this meeting VIII produce any results
Is at this time matter OF conjecture.

geon General 0Relly, after carefully
looking over the dates stated that the

BELIEVES PROSPECTS GOOD.
Significant Remark Attributed to
Governor odell.

New York. Oct 13.-Governor Odell
made this significant remark at the
Fifth Avenue hotel tonight: Il believe
that the coal strike is nearer TO a
definite settlement than it has been
since it started"
The governor would make no ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons for his be-
lief further than to say:
in my opinion this week will see
an end of it."
Although no definite information can
be obtained, Il is believed that Gov
ernor Odell was this morning in con-
ference with both ]. p. Morgan and
President Baer. to the latter of whom
he so forcibly outlined his position Fri
day. 1t Is Furthermore the opinion that
Governor OdeiI's recommendation OF .
cents per ton increase in the miners
wages and recognition of the union
would be the basis OF settlement. al
though the latter may be avoided in
part by asking the men TO come back
20 work at the advanced prices with
out any agreement that they must
leave their organization. but also with
out any stipulation that the union
will be recognized as a body.
Governor Odell, after reaching the
hotel at 2:3o o'clock. refused to see any
visitors.
So far as any legislative extra ses-
sion goes. II may be said on authority
that, II called, II will be merely 90 pro-
vide money for the purchase OF coal
at higher rates for the public institu-
tons and possibly to appropriate
money FOR the relief OF the poor. But.
although the legislature might be
called together for these purposes. it
Is in the power OF the governor while
il is in session TO send in special
message calling for the revocation of
franchises of such roads in the state
as obtained their franchises for the
avowed purpose Of providing coal for
the peODle-
II is said. however. that at the regu-
lar meeting OF the railroad presidents
tomorrow the governor will be invited
to again present his views. That his
views have not changed since Friday
is well known.
