THREE MINUTES BETTER.

According to the reports given out by the
owners and navigators of the Deutschland, OF
the Hamburg American Line, a new westward
record was established by that great floating
hotel on the trip which came TO an end yes
terday. The fact that the trip was made in
days II hours and "a minutes means less to the
people who read the account OF the Deutsch-
lands triumph than the fact that the previous
record OF the Kronprinz broken by the
small margin of three minutes Three minutes
IN yacht race over a thirty-mile course. when
the contending craft are really racing machines,
built, fitted and manned for 10 other purpose
than speed, is winning margin to be expected:
but one does not look for paltry three~mlnute
victories when powerful vessel, heavily laden
and having Oh board more than thousand pas
sengers makes dash for speed laurels.
When the Persia made the trip from New
York to Queenstown in days 1 hour and 10
minutes in 1856 it was believed by many peo-
pie that the best time had been reached and
the record did remain unbroken until 1863
when the trip between the. two ports was made
by the Scotia in days and 3 hours. In 1869 the
City of Brussels reduced the time to days 90
hours and minutes, and held the palm for
speed until 1873, when the Baltic made the trip
In days 20 hours and minutes. Two years
later the City of Berlin Topped about hours off
the Baltics record but a year later had 10 give
way TO the Britannia, which made the trip in
days, Il hours and Al minutes. Since that time
the Arizona. the Alaska, the Oregon, the
Etruria, the City Of Paris, the Teutonic, the
Campania and the Lucania have each in turn
reduced the time between New-York and
Queenstown, the first to make the run in less
than six days being the City Of Paris, In 1889
In 1897 the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse made
the trip from NewYorS 70 Southampton In ,
days IL hours and minutes. and then reduced
her own record several times. In 1900 the
Deutschland sailed from New York to Plymouth
in days hours and 2s minutes, and year
later the kronprinz, on her first voyage from
New-York TO Plymouth, made a record of 5
days Q hours and AZ minutes The Oceanic's
trip from Liverpool TO New-YorlI in 5 DAYS IT
hours and so minutes was one Of the notable
steamship achievements of the year 1901.
Other vessels have since then made record
trips" and more Of the same class viii follow.
So long as these efforts TO reduce the sailing
time between the various ports is carried on
without undue risk TO life and property the per-
formances will be watched with interest but
owners and navgators must never forget that
theirs are ships with valuable cargoes and not
racing machines

TBE TaLE or TURKISH Troubles.

Jhk 1ALE VI II hh1Sh lhUl bLEc-
Not only Little Peterklns in future but well
Informed men Of the present may ask what all
The trouble in Turkey is about. IL is a compli-
Gated matter. involving every essential feature
of the once-called Eastern question" since the
tribe OF Othman first crossed the Hellespont,
but it ought 70 be made ineligible to all.
Turkey IN Europe. as K remains since the par
titioning OF 1873. consists Of seven provinces:
Constantinople and Adrianople. which form
much OF ancient Thrace; Salonica, Kossovo and
AIonastir. which largely comprise the region
vaguely known as Macedonia. and Scutari and
.ranina. which form the bulk of Albania, or old
lnyria. The inhabitants are varied. There are
many Turks. descendants Of the tribe OF 9th
man. which invaded Europe and overthrow the
byzantine Empire. There are Greeks. descend
ants o. the Greeks OF classic days. There arc
Alhanians. or Arnarts. a strange remnant Of
forgotten peoples descended from the Pelas-
gians who occupied all that part OF Europe be-
fore the Dorian migration founded ancient
Greece. There are many Jews. There are Wal
lachs, or Flachs, descended from the autOch-
thones mingled with Greeks, with language
derived from che Latin. There arc Rumanians
akin to the wallachs but OF mixed Roman in
stead OF Greek blood. There are Bulcars.
Slavic people forming an inferior branch Of the
Finnish stock There are Serbs also a Slavic
people. There are Gypsies. few Magyars and
some other folk. al differing in race language
and religion.
Five OF these especially claim Macedonia
Turks because they are the actual sovcreigns
al the whole empire; the Greeks. because Of
their relations TO il In the time OF Alexander:
tho Alhanians. because they were the original
proprietors; the Serbs. because some OF IL was
part OF their old Servian Empire. and the Bull
gars. because they have aOcked into the coun-
try 80 such numbers. The rivalry has been
scute since ISIS. when Servia became inde-
pendent and Bulgaria largely so. AS the Mace
domains are one OF the most superstitious peo-
ple IN the world. the propaganda was at first
carried on by ecclesiastical means. Down 10
1870 the Greek Church was the only Christian
church 81 Macedonia and all Christians there
were az least nominally Greeks Then Bulgaria
secured the establishment and recognition OF
some OF her churches and schools. The Ru-
manisns followed with schools and colleges In
1856, and a. about the same time the Serbs did
The same. BY means OF churches and schools the
rival political campaigns have been vigorously
wogec. especially on the part OF the Bulsars.
The Serbs and the Greeks, the Bulgars proba bly
leading the others in numbers and energy
Having gained about all that could thus be
Srined, however, the Bulgsrs few years ago
