ALMOST BANKRUPT.
Turkey in the Worst Financial
Straits Since 1876.
Treasury Empty and Debts Accu-
muIating on Every Side.
Europe Would Oppose Confiscation OF
Revenue "in Pawn"

New York, May ga dispatch
which has been received here from
Constantinople throws a lurid light on
the financial strait of the Turkish gov
eminent. cables the London cores
pondent of the Tribune. The situation
apparently is worse than at any time
since its bankruptcy in 1876.
The new gran1 vizier, Said, who is
a man of Vigor and really wishes to
get good work lone, does not know
which way to turn, as all branches
Of the administration are hampered
through the impoverishment of the
treasury and the immense accumula-
ton of arrears of pay.
There IS good ground for believing
that he is at present contemplating
ceded to foreign creditors, about S15
oOO00O year net. This could be done
very easily.
II is likely however, that Europe
would act with unity and energy in
event of such breach of faith. In
stead of relying on paper protests as
in the case of the Armenian massacres,
the French government would no
doubt put itself in the forefront in
defence of European banking interests
and Germany, with important railway
projects in Asia minor, would certainly
not be content to adopt mere passive
attitude.

pressions Of international good will and
Of the lasting friendship between the

cravings, a gift from the premier of
the French cabinet, NJ. Waldeck-Rous-
seau. The sketches are by the distin-
guished Partisan artist, NJ. Renouard,

CONGRESS is WARNED.

Hon. Joe Cannon has felt called
upon to lecture the House OF Repre-.
sentativcs upon its extravaganza. NOV
ing to strike out the enaCting clause
OF a bail to transfer the forest reserves
from the Interior to the Agricultural
Department with authority to estab.
fish game reserves. Mr.. Cannon de-
nounced the Sill as evil and expensive,
and he uttered a solemn warning "a
his political associates charged with
the responsibility Of public eXpcnd.
iturc against the enactment OF reCk'
less and cXtravagant appropriations.
AS the Congressional appropriations
now stand and no considerable reduc'
ton is expected. Mr.. Cannon said tho
expenditures authorized for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1903. will require
every dollar of revenue now in sight
not counting s54.000,0O0 which ought
TO be credited TO the sinking fund
This led Mr.. Cannon to make a state
ment of the condition and prospects VI
public revenues and appropriations,
which, he said, had been on his mind
for some time.
MIR. Cannon's best estimate of reve'
nues for 1903 is $3.50 900, 900. Making
allowance for s54,OOO,OOO Of sinking
fund. the apparent surplus for the cur
rent year will be Si7,OOO.OOO. thus Civ.
ing total resources of $3.50, 200. 900 fol
1903. The regular and permanent ap
preparations for next year already
amount to $500, 600 OO6. Besides these,
there are miscellaneous appropriations
and deficiencies that already amount
to $31 .S3S.OOO with more to follow
Moreover, no appropriation for an III
tcrOCeaniC canal has yet been author
ICED, nor has the fish hatchery apprO
prlation. and Mr.. Cannon pointed Out
that without another dollar of apprO
prlations 1t will take every cent of the
revenue for 1903 to meet the eXpendi
lures of government for that year.
Upon the occasion of the Illinoi!
statesman's lecture the temperature IL
the House was unusually high. Mr.
!. Cannon removing his collar and neck
tie for personal comfort. This. [
course. brought forth the intmatior
that he was getting hot in the col
lar" but it in no way weakened thu
truth and force OF his remarks.
