ELWOOD. Ind, July 2S.-The long-threat-
ened fight between the carpenters union
and the Elwood Fair Association was de-
cared on last night, when the union placed
the ban of unfairness on the association
and its grounds. To-day the city was pla-
carded and notices printed in the local
papers calling on the twenty or thirty other
unions here TO stay away from the fair
ground until the matter is adjusted. The
trouble grew out of the employment of nom
union men by the contractor who built the
new art hall at the grounds. The annual
fair and race meeting is only two weeks
away, and the effect of the boycott on the
attendance is causing much speculation.

DJELAL BEY PROMOTED.


CONSTANTINOPLE, July 2S.-Djelal Bey,
minister of public instruction, has been
promoted to the position of minister of
marine, which was occupied for twenty
three years by Hassan Pasha, who died
on Sunday. The latter was known as the
permanent minister of marine and was
reputed to be the richest man in the Turk
ish empire He was credited with the pos
session of state secrets which it is said en-
abled him to commit acts which nobody
else would have dared to contemplate. Dur
ing his last illness it is said his house was
searched, presumably with the idea of sez-
ing compromising documents, but nothing
was found and it is presumed that they
were all placed for safe keeping, together
with the bulk of his fortune, in a private
bank. 1t is alleged that he agreed with
Russia, for a consideration, to prevent the
upbuilding of the Turkish navy.
Djelal Bey, who succeeds him, was promi-
nent in connection with the Armenian
troubles in 1895 when he was a member of
the Armenian commission of control. At
that time he was on the court Of appeals.
