TURKEY And AMERICA
AGAIN TO Be FRIENDS
Relations Established With
Abdul Hamid.
Grand vizier, Who Has Caused Trouble
in Settling Claim,
Set Aside.

Relations between the United States
Government and the Sultan of Turkey
have been re-established on friendly
basis. and it is how declared that all the
questions pending between the two
countries are in fair way to be salts
factorily settled.
United States Minister Leishman has
obtained an important diplomatic vic
tory in securing from Abdul Humid per-
mission to conduct his negotiations with
the Sultan himself Heretofore it has
been necessary for the American minis
ter to deal with the chief vizier. who
would enter into agreements he had no
power to carry out. Thus the negotia-
tions were continually blocked. and no
progress was possible.
BY dealing directly with the Sultan
this difficulty has been obviated, ard
the long-standipg claims of the United
States are now on the point of settle

Now, man who has money to invest

Theater Manager Proposes to Reduce
Bill Board Advertising.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 6.-The value of
newspaper advertising will be forcibly
illustrated by new policy which will
prevail at Chase's Theater this season.
Newspapers almost entirely will be used
to let the people know the doings of the
stock company. Formerly billboards and
Autographs in shop windows were widely
employed, but this year. after confer
ence with Mr.. p. B. Chase, proprietor of
Chase's Theater. Manager George Faw-
cett determined to introduce an innova-
tion. 1t has. therefore. been decided to
cut down the billboard representation BY
80 per cent and TO abolish entirely the
use of Autographs In windows. The
money thus saved will be spent exclu-
siyely for extra newspaper advertising.

TO DECIDE WAR GAME

tual warfare The run of five big ships
past the eastern defenses of this impor-
tant naval base was magnificent spec
tacle, startling and thrilling in some of
its aspects to those who witnessed it at
close range, but it was merely specta-
Gle
There is apparently no difference Of
opinion among the naval and militia men
who saw 1t that a similar attempt on the
part of fleet actually hostile would
have met with certain disaster What
the mines left undone the guns of the
forts would have accomplished. Had Ad-
miral Higginson been real enemy in
stead of play one, his vessels would be
lying helpless and shapeless hulks in the
channel through which they sailed SD
gracefully and easily last night.
From the standpoint of those on the
ships the week of war work has been
very beneficial. Every officer and man
worked hard and with enthusiasm.
Navy Makes Objections.
The chief criticism of the navy peo-
pie is that they were not sufficiently
informed. The several attacks made
by the fleet were just what were ex-
pected; for that reason they held that
the benefit of much experience was lost. |
In play war 1t is necessary to know the
why and wherefore of what is to be |
done. SO that the lessonom may be intel |
ligently learned in the light of knowl- |
edge of its meaning
Although some of the army observers
say that their searchlights were of
great value In night attacks. naval Of
ficers are pretty generally of the con-
trary view. 1t was expected that the |
electric glare would blind the gunners |
On the ships. Naval officers say, how
ever. that when the lights were not
within the shortest ranges, say 500 and
900 yards, the illumination actually Il
helped the gunners of the darkened

Said to Now Resemble
France More Than Any
European Nation.
STATUS OF POPULATION
Mere and More Country Whose Peo-
pie Do Not Emigrate-Increases Come
From Other atioaalities-Birth and
Death Rate Surprise.

LONDON, Sept. Elf an Englishman
were told that the social fabric of his
country was coming to Resemble that Of
France more than any other European
nation. he would be disposed to be in
credulous. Yet. that this is so in i'm
portant features is clearly shown by an
analysis Just issued OF the census re-
turns of England a. the end of the CEN
tury.
These Show that it is becoming more
and more a country from which the pop
ulation does not emigrate, a country
whose population in the large cities
show en- increasing percentage of other
nationalities and country whose age
of marriage is becoming older and its
birth rate lower. The loss in popuIa-
tion by emigration during the last dec
ade over immigration amounted to only
10000. whereas In the previous decade
1t had been 100000.
The present dfminution of population
from this cause is less than it has been
for forty years. On the other hand the
annual increment of Russian Jews,
Poles. Belgians. and Germans is on the
increase.
Change in Birth Rate.
The birth rate thirty years ago shows
that So children were born for every
1.e00 living. while the last census shows
a rate of 31.57 Where the figures for
England are more satisfactory than
those of France is the latter's inability
to reduce its death rate
The French birthrate in the year 1900
was PA and the mortality was % per
1000. frances population stands prac-
tically where it did five years ago. 1t
has increased by 100000 residents, of
whom 300,0 are in Paris in a neigh
borhood populated by prolific Belgians
and other foreigners.
In the same FIVE years Germany added
I.GG0.e00 and Russia 5000. 900 10 their
population. Fifty years ago France was
second in population to the great civ
ilized States of the world. She was
about equal TO Germany and ahead o.
England. Austria. the United States. and
italy. Now she has been passed by all
except italy. who is rapidly gaining on
her.

SAYS SENATE WILL
NOT CHANGE TARIFF
Speaker Henderson Declares
Alterations Impossible.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 6.-Speaker
Henderson declared at the Republican
conference yesterday that it was idle
to talk about any changes in the tariff
during the coming short session of
Congress. He thought it might be pos
sible to get bill through the House,
hut it was doubtful if anything could
be gotten through the Senate Senator
Dolliyer, who was present, agreed with
him, saying that any measure that did
not have unanimous consent could hard
ly be touched in the Senate in less
than three months.
Tariff Changes Discussed.
The discussion hinged on the Iowa plat
form and the adSisability of making
changes in the present tariff schedules.
Governor Cummins took a firm stand
upon the Iowa platform, and declared in
favor of the plank which says that the
Republicans are in favor of such modifi-
cation of the tariff as may be necessary
to prevent its becoming shelter to mon
opoly. Speaker Henderson said that
while he would not have placed this
plank in the platform, he could see moth
ing the matter with it. 1t did not mean,
he declared, that the present tariff is a
shelter to monopoly. He urged all the
Republicans TO stand squarely on the
platform. saying he proposed to do so.
Dolliver Urges Reciprocity.
Senator Dolliver declared that the Re-
publicans must do something on the
reciprocity question. They had been
promising the people reciprocity for the
past ten years, but the Senate had re-
fused to consider the treaties that had
been negotiated He declared that 1t
was time to do something.
The unanimous sense of the confer
ence was that the party was not op-
posed to changes in the tariff. but want
ed them made in such way as would
not demoraliZe business and commercial
by uncertainty. Their idea
was to change rather than revise the
Tariff schedules.

FANNIE KERR
SEEN ON
JUNE 10Th

The ship Fannie Kerr is probably still
floating about waiting for another yes
sci to collide with her or for some
steamer to take her in tow and earn
$4,000 salvage.
Professor c. ]. Lyons telephoned The
Advertiser last evening that the hydro
graphic chart, which came in the Ala
media mail, locates the derelict in lati-
tude 81, longitude 16s w. She was
there on June goth, $50 miles due north
of the place where she was abandoned
twenty-five days before. The chart
gives no particulars as to the name of
the ship reporting the Fannie Kerr. but
the news was definite enough to con
vince the photographic Office.
Had the Honolulu steamers which
were listed for a search when the news
about the Kerr came to hand carried
out their program, it is Guite likely that

TO
HAVE MASS
MEETING

Prince Cupid presided last evening in
Foster Hall at an executive meeting OF
the central committee of the Hui Kuo-
koa and for three hours the preamble
to the constitution, as published in yes
tie days Advertiser, was fully dis
cussed. The principal discussion was
up section three of the preamble,
which reads:
owing to such failure and the fact
that the majority of both houses was
composed of Hawaiians, the capacity
of the native Hawaiians for self-gov-
ernment has been seriously questioned" Z"
The inward meaning of the section was
thoroughly explained to the commit
tee, but it was decided to have the
same translated into Hawaiian and a
report made thereon at the next meet
ing before passing finally upon 1T. The
remainder of the preamble was passed.
The rules and bylaws of the precinct
clubs were also passed.
After considerable debating upon the
time and place for holding a mass
meeting it was decided that a call
would issue for such a meeting on

enthusiasm manifested in the future of

DEMlJOHN WAS
FULL OF OKOLEHAO

A hack load of officers headed by
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was driv-
en- out to Moiliili last night shortly aft
er o'clock. The departure from the
police station was made quietly and
the mysterious movements of the par
ty Indicated that something was in
the wind" The party alighted near
Moiliiii church and one of the crowd
was sent on to a Japanese store which
has been under suspicion for some time
as having on sale various liquors
which the proprietor had no license to
sell.
The forlorn hope was successful. He
asked for saki and it was passed over
to him and paid for. Then came an
avalanche of policemen upon the luck
less japanese He was caught red
handed and when the officers were
through searching the store and con-
tents a dozen bottles of beer, six of
saki and a demijohn of okolehao re-
warded their efforts.
Kawasaki was the name of the pro-
prietor. and his countenance was any
thing but pleasant when he was taken
from the hack at the station house and
charged with selling liquor without a
license His arrest however bad been
beraIded amongst his friends and by
the time he reached the station sew
eral IaDanese were there ready to bail
him out One hundred dollars was re-
ouired as a cash bond.
