Washington. Sept. s.-For two days the State Department has been without ad- vices fiom Turkey. Pending the receipt of Minister Leishman's report on the sit- uation there, the State Department will not ask the Navy Department to send additional instructions to Rear Admiral Cotton. commanding the European squad ron. The position of the Washington gov ernment continues unchanged in regard to the Turkish question. It Is expected that the Brooklyn and San Francisco will arrive off Beirut tomorrow and the Ma chias off Port Said.
 Upon the arrival their commanders will cable fully reports about the situation. Upon the receipt of these adviees and the expected report of Minister Leishman will depend the program of the State De- partment As there is no intention on the part of this Government to become in- volved in the Eastern question. it Is de- sired that the ships shall go their way as soon as their mission is fulfilled. The Navy Department officials also are anx- ious for the squadron to get to work on it's target practice, which was scheduled to begin early in September.

Tn reply thereto, after thanking the nat rtarch and the others present for their good wishes. the Sultan. contrary to prec- edent, spoke at some length as follows:
 All my desire Is for the welfare ox the population without distinction of race or religion. As to the regrettabIe deeds to which the patriarch alluded, I am con- vinced that the movement does not pro-' ceed spontaneously from the populntio but is instigated from abroad. hone the measures taken will insure tranquility. call God to witness the sincerity of my declaration and that all my aspirations and work are for the welfare and tros- perity of all my subjects"
 Turning then to the Bulgarian patriarch the Sultan bade him communicate hts words to his flock.
 Next addressing the Greek patriach. the Sultan said he regretted that the Greek population had also suffered from the recent troubles and declared he would be pleased to contribute to the subscrip- tions being raised in the patriarcliate in behalf of the sufferers.
 Xne Sultan further remarked that he was very sorry that some of the soldiers had been guilty of acts contrary to his orders and desires.
 The Sultan personally assured Monsfg- nor Orminian. the Armenian patrfach that his words applied to the Armenians as well as to the people of other nation- alities.

We are painfully conscious that
there are more things in heaven
and earth than are ever dreamed of
in our philosophy" but we are anx-
ious to learn and quick to give due
credit for valuable information.
Wisdom was born with" a few of
the children of fortune who conde-
scend occasionally to impart mod
icum of their overburdened inform
alton to the ignorant, assuming,
probably, that such giving does
not impoverish the giver.
Looking over the situation in the
city as affected by the conduct of
people it seemed to us that the an
noyance occasioned by the small
boys on the street was not of suffi-
cient Importance TO call for radical
measures, measures that if literally
enforced were sure to get citizens
of the city "by the ears" and it &C.
Cured to US to enquire whether the
kids could not be controlled in some
other and better way. We had con-
Guided from observation that it was
difficult to make water run up hill
or to make good egg out af bad
one by passing resolution. And
SO when it was proposed to ask for
a curfew ordinance we were moved
to ask some silly questions as to
the scope and consequences of such
an act. We had assumed that a
curfew would not apply to boys over
| IA or Is and not to them until after
9 o'clock at night. We thought the
little annoyance the kids give after
9 o'clock was a comparatively small
matter that could be readily con-
trolled by the marshal, if the pa
rents are derelict. But it seems
there are people who are sure that
curfew ordinance will not only
prevent the small boys from the an
noyance incident to the game of
'hunk-o'-Dee, but make every
body a model of propriety. All that
is needed in this revolution of re-
form is curfew ordinance and a
Jug" If what we need to make
people good" is a curfew ordi-
nance and Jug" then give US
the ordinance and enlarge the jug.

Rev. T. ]. Snodgrass received a
telegram Monday morning announc-
ing the sudden death of his son-in-
law, DR.. Philip H. Keyser of Bould-
er, Colorado. DR.. Keyser, in com
pany with his wife, had been on an
extended trip east and it seems he
had just returned home when he
was struck down. The doctor had
attended the Worlds Convention of
Physicians at New Orleans, and
another convention of physicians
and surgeons at Washington. He
and his wife had visited in Phila-
de1phia and New York and were re-
turning to their home the last of
last week when, leaving Mrs. Key
ser to visit relatives at Frankfort,
KY, for few days, the Doctor
fastened home. DR.. Keyser was 81
years old, young man Of excellent
attachments in his profession and
of the promise of great success.
He was formerly from Baraboo
where he became acquainted with
Miss Mary E. Snodgrass, oldest
child of Rev. and Mrs. T. j. Snod-
grass, and whom he married about
eight years ago at New Richmond.
George Snodgrass left yesterday
for the home of his sister, Mrs.
Keyser at Boulder.

DIR. LoRENz's VISIT.

The results of Dr. :4orenz's visit are
reviewed in the current number of
Charities, a New York publication, by
Dr. Newton NJ. Shaffer, professor of
orthopedic surgery in the Cornell Uni
Versity Medical College. Contradictory
reports of the outcome of the cases
operated on by the Austrian surgeon
have been circulating, and DIR. SHAFT
fers article is important in clearing up
the matter. The Lorenz operation for
the reduction OF a dsslocated hip is not
new, but goes far back in cases that
have not become chronic. But i'm such
cases, where the medical profession
only few years ago regarded a cure
as impossible, DR.. Lorenz is an inno-
vator, and his achievements are con-
coded to mark an era in orthopedic sur
gerry. DR.. Shaffer regards him as a
master and without an equal i'm this
particular field of manipulative work
AS for the cases operated on by Dr..
Lorenz in the United States, so far as
can be learned by Dr. Shaffer, all of the
patients were benefited by the opera
ton, even where a perfect replacement
was not obtained, and In most instan-
ces there was entire success. The Lo-
lita Armour case, which brought DR..
Lorenz TO the United States, is one put
GOWN as not wholly successful. Both of
the child's hips We're dislocated when
Dr. John Ridlon of Chicago was orig
inally called into the case. He employ
ed the Lorenz method i'm all particulars,
and succeeded as TO the left hip, put
the other relapsed, and 1t was then that
the Vienna surgeon was brought over.
DIR. Shaffer continues:
1t was under these circumstances and
after the right hin had rplansed that
Dr. Lorenz was called upon. The left
hip did not require his services, and the
result so far as that hip is concerned
was apparently satisfactory and has
required no attention since. DR.. Lor-
enz operated upon the relapsed right
hip. The result, | am told, is not a
perfect repOsition-although the limb Is
performing its functions well. 1t seems
probable that a defective socket or
some other obstacle made a perfect re-
covery impossible.

WOMAN NEARLY
WASHED OvERBORD
LIFE OF DECK PASSENGERS ON
STEAMER KE AU HOU SAVED BY
CHIEF ENGINEER GARDNER.

The trip of the steamer Ke Au Hou
from Honolulu to Kauai ports this
week was one of the most disagreeable
in recent years. The vessel ran into
a heavy northerly swell with heavy
north-northeast winds. She encounter
ed the bad weather shortly after she
cleared Kaena Point and got into the
Kauai Channel.
SO rough was the weather that Cap
tain Tullett had to put his vessel out
OF her course and run before the sea.
one sea after another boarded the yes
sci. The cabins were flooded. Numer-
Gus coils of rope on the hurricane deck
were washed loose from the lashngs
and swept overheard.
For while the deck passengers were
in danger. Portuguese woman would
have been swept overheard but for the
bravery OF Chief Engineer Gardner a
big sea caught up the woman and
swept her toward the rail. The wo-
man would certainly have been washed
overheard. Gardner saw her danger
and grabbed her. He was washed
against the stanchion, his head striking
with great force. He was almost knock
ed unconscious but managed to hold
onto the woman and the stanchion UNI
/ til he could get out of danger. The
weather was so bad that Captain Tul-
let took all of the dec, passengers into
the cabins. The vessel was not dam
aged by the storm. She arrived this
morning from Kauai ports.
