Turkey Must Do Something.

London, May pa dispatch
which has been received here from
Constantinople throws a lurid light
on the financial strain of the Turkish
government. The situation is worse
than at any time since it's bank
ruptcy in 1876. The new grand viz.
ier, Said, who is a man of vigor and
good intentions, does not know which
way to turn, as all branches OF the
administration are h mpere d
through the impoverishment Of the
treasury and the immense accumula-
tion of arrears of pay. There is
good grounds for believing that heis
at present contemplating confsca-
tion Of the revenue already ceded to
foreign creditors, about Is million
dollars n year net This could be
done very easily. 1t is probable,
however. that Europe would act with
unity and energy in the event ofsuch
a breach of faith. Instead Of relying
on paper protests, as in the case oi
the Armenian massacres, the French
government would no doubt put it
self in the forefront in defense OF
European banking interests, and
Germany, with important railway
projects in Asia Minor, would GER.
tainly not be content to adopt a
mere passive attitude.

Attempted Suicide.
Nevada Nail.

Nevada Mail.
One of the most horrible and de-
termined attempts to suicide that
has ever occurred in this city is the
case ofJohn Watkinson, anemployee
OF the railroad company. Friday
Watkinson took a bottle of NOR
phine, the doctor says enough to
have killed twenty men, however, he
failed in this attempt and this MORN
ing again tried to take his life in
most horrible manner, by slishing
and stabbng himself with a knife.
He cut terrible hole in his left side
and slashed across several OF his ribs.
DR.. Amerman was called and took 26
inches in sewing up the wound.
Watkinson told DR.. Amerman that
he was sorry that he had not sue
ceeded in killing himself. DR.. Amer
man says that it will be almost i'm
possible for Watkinson to get well.
John Watkinson is a brother of J.
j. Watkinson, the Missouri Pacific
engineer, and has made his home
with him on North Elm street. He
was about 35 years old and unmar-
ried. Watkinson had been working
at the round house for several
months, but has been laying of
about two weeks.

at the time of the closing of the polls.
Within half hour after closing the
votes for delegate had been counted.
There were many rejected ballots
among them being one that caused a
great deal of merriment, as a voter
had marked his ticket for Wilcox and
added at the bottom of the ballot:
| ''Wilcox-You go way back and sit
down." OF course the vote was in
formal.
FOURTH OF THE FOURTH.
The count began in the fourth pre-
cinct at Emma Square Immediately af-
ter the closing of the polls. There was
c large crowd present, watching the
count, which progressed rapidly. The
Cupid votes piled up with a regularity
| that did the Republicans good, and
caused 2 corresponding lowering of the
mouth on the part of the Home Rulers
The count on the senatorial ticket
showed considerable scratching from
which the Republicans derived chief
| benefit.
Just before the polls closed there was
a little dispute as to the vote of JOS
Gouvia. He had not voted but it APP
peared that his name had been scratch
ed from the registration lists, and it
developed that some other man of the
same name had voted in his place.
This Gouvia had really registered in the
third precinct, but innocently made the
mistake, and the candidate finding that
his name was upon the lists made~SAo
objection, and it was not until we
rightful possessor of the name came,
that the error was discovered. There

of his namesake who had voted for him
in the fourth but this idea was aban-
doned. No attempt was made to vote
! him for fear that it might lead to
contest. and as this was not wanted by
| the Republicans, the vote was lost.
There were two other similar coses.
! in which two Silvas and Rodriques vo-
ted at the wrong precinct, but later the
| rightful voters were identified and al
| lowed to vote.
FIFTH OF THE FOURTH.
The Kakaako district did itself proud
for the Republican party, the big Home
Rule majority being cut to nothing.
Two Republicans carried the Home
Rule stronghold, Kuhio and Isenberg,
and the Republicans present became
more and more enthusiastic as the
count progressed. There was dispo-
sition on the part of the Home Rulers,
some of whom had become overcome
by liquor, to crowd into the polling
place and it finally became necessary
TO station policeman at the door and
keep all out of the room who had no
official business therein.
Nearly the entire vote of the district
was polled, Barefoot Bill, against whom
a protest had been entered during the
afternoon, being one of the last to cast
his ballot. Just before the polls closed
there was a slight dispute between
Hawaiian inspector and a member of
the Home Rule committee, but the
trouble was not serious. In fact thsI

The polls closed promptly al the hour
in the second precinct in Makiki park.
The voting was practically finished in
the morning but all afternoon the vo-
ters struggled in. Before the count
began j. H. Fisher who had been
watching all day predicted that Cupid
would have at least 275, while Wilcox
would not poll over 10. The count
showed him to be good at guessing

crime. Finally he solved the question
temporarily by refusing to vote.
The first vote to be counted was that
of Waimanalo. The ballots there were
listed as soon as all those registered
had voted, and this made it very early
when the returns were in.
