HAGUE PROTOCOL DRAFT
The Allies Are Busy Studying the
Rough Draft Of the Doc
q ument.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Great Britain.
Germany and Italy are still considering
the rough draft Of the Hague protocol,
submitted to their representatives here
yesterday by Mr.. Bowen, in which it is
provided that the Car Of Russia shall
select the personnel of the court to pass
on the preferential contention of the al
lies.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Bowen is carrying on
negotiations with the other claimant ma
tions and hopes TO finish up the French
protocol this week. There Is a slight
delay in the drawing of this convention
owing to the activity of the French con-
sui at Caracas who has made certain
proposals to President Castro and there
by interfered somewhat with the work
of the French anlba ssador here. The
latter has been empowered to draw up
the protocol with Mr. Bowen and as soon
as President Castro can be made to I'M
derstand the situation Mr.. Bowen and Mr..
Jusserand will proceed with their task
Mexico's protocol is being engrossed at
the state department and will be signed
by Senior De Aspiroz the Mexican am
bassador and Mr.. Bowen for Venezuela,
probably tomorrow. In substance it is
the same as that Of the United States
the main point of difference being that
the Mexican convention provides that the
king of Spain instead of the queen OF
Holland shall be invited to name the UNI
pire for the Observation-Disclosures comrnis-
sion in event of its disagreement.

Willy ABDUL As
A DIPLOMAT
His Sudden Concession of the Pow
ers' Demands Causes Great
Suspicion.
His Habit Of Making Promises and
of Not Keeping Them
Is Recalled.
Experience of the United States
Minister, Mr.. Leischman,
!, Last Year.
New York Sun Special Service

Chicago Feb. 25.--William f. Curtis,
In a Washington special to the Record
Herald. says: it is a very suspicious cir
cumstance that the Sultan Of Turkey
should concede the demands of Russia and
Austria so promptly as related in the ca
BILE dispatches from Constantinople and
accept without question the plan they
propose for the government of his rebel
liOus subjects in Macedonia. That, how
ever is the Sultans way. He will make
promises more readily than any man In
Europe but was never known to keep
any of them until he is thrown down and
trampled upon. and does SO to save his
life and authority. He has most gra-
cious manner. and no doubt received the
amba ssadors of Russia and Austria with
his usual courtesy.
By consenting to all Of their demands
without conditions, he places them III an
embarrassing position, and further pro-
ceedinss will be watched with curiosity.
That the sultan will submit to such hui
initiation is incredible, but it is just like
him to agree to everything off hand and
do nothing. He is the 9hreWdest diplomat
in Europe. -....
Those who have represented the United
States in Turkey tell curious stories about
his methods in this respect. Last year,
after several long discussions with the:
officials of the foreign office and the grand
vizier Mr.. I.cischman, our minister, sue
Yildiz kiosk, and when he demanded,
among other things, permission for the
American missionaries in Armenia to re-
build the schools and hospitals which had
been DESTROYED during the massacre seven
years ago, the sultan replied:
certainly; not the slightest objection
and said that he would give instructions
to the sublime porte, as the headquarters
of the Turkish government is called. r..
Mr. Leischman also asked permission Tor
the families of twelve Armenian exiles to
leave Turkey and join their husbands and
fathers in the United States, to which the
sultan also assented with the greatest APP
parent pleasure. ,
But when Mr. IIeischman went to the
sublime porte to get the papers he dis
covered to his amazement and chagrin
that the permit to rebuild the missionary
houses in America expressly stipulated that
thew. should not be used for schools, nos
pitaIs or religious purposes, and after tWo
of the Armenian families had lett Con
staut1nople the rest were stopped on some
protext and have never been permitted tc
come away. Mr.. Leischman has been &c
the YiIdiz kiosk again and again to re-
mind the great Turk Of his promises. anu
ALWAYS brings away an assurance that Inc
matter will be attended to at oncei Dill
somehow or another, it never Is, ana prom
ably never will be, for the sultan docs
not mean a, word he says. -

COAL MINES CLOSED
The Car Situation Is the Worst
Ever Known,

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 25.-While the car
situation at the mines in the Pittsburg
district has not been good for several
months, the conditions just at psesent are
pronounced by coal operators the worst
i'll history. Outside Of the river mines
and those along the Pittsburg, and Lake
Erie and the Mongahela division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, fully 20 per cent
are idle OF the twenty-eight mines of
the Pittsburs Coal company on the Pan
handle road, sixteen are shut down to-
day and the others have but a fair supply
of cars Five of the largest mines on the
Baltimore e Ohio railroad out of fifteen
owned by. the company are idle. This is
said to be a good showing compared with
the conditions at the mines of the inde-
pendent producers.

out last night as though he would retain
his title. He averaged 219 for three games

lender Of Minneapolis will go on the al

ness and Woley will also bowl in the two

looks as though J. J. Rowe would take the
place of John York as Cleveland's choice.
York gives business reasons for his with
drawal. 1t is not unlikely that all the
old officers will be dropped, Karps and
Thompson because they are allied with
the manufacturers and Stearns because
it is believed a better man can be found

A REQUEST BY DOCTORS
They Want to Inoculate Two Con-
demned Boys 18th Dis
ease Germs.
New York Sun Special Service.

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 25.-Relatives of
Earl Whitney and Claude O'Brien, the
condemned boy murderers, have sent
notice to the state authorities that they
would not permit the incubation Of the
boys with disease germs. Dr. Walter
Bullock of this city and DR.. w. B. Blue Of
Louisville had offered large sum of
money to each Of the boys If they would
allow the experiment to take place, and
at the same time affirmed that DR.. Blue
thought he had cure for the disease
but could not be certain until he had an
opportunity to try it.
Tailor Wallace denies that he had in any
way intimated that such all arrangement
was possible, and said he did not think
such request would be granted by the
state officials, even if it had been made
in the proper quarters.

our work. we will turn loose the $4,000
men and give them the addresses of these
rich.
The trouble with the ministers of the
different churches" continued General
Booth, sis that they say SO little Of heaven
and hell. The minister should give talks
on the Salvation Army and advocate its
broad politics and principles and take up
collections and send us money. The work
Of the Army does not represent any fad
in religion but a, religion based on the
original laws Of God. The Army has a
method Of its own and that is to preach
Christianity where there is no religion and
to bring those to Christ who have no
church,

the King.
He Wants an Assurance That the
Secretary Is at Work on
Bill.

London, Feb. 25.-The Irish. leader,
John Redmond in the house of commons
to-day moved an amendment to the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne, on the subject Of the Irish land
question. .=.
Mr. Redmond's speech was most con-
cilatory. He said the amendment was
not intended as the hostile demonstration
against the government but as "a friend
ly warning to the ministers. He and
his friends believed the government was
engaged in framing a great measure OF
justice and appeasement for Ireland
which in the words of the kings speech
would complete the abolition of the
dual ownership Of land" ga. ..s
All he. Mr.. Redmond, wanted, was an
assurance from the chief secretary for
Ireland, Mr.. Wyndham, that the govern
ment was engaged in an honest attempt
to solve the problem on the lines sug-
gested by the report Of the recent land
conference; which, the speaker added
offered an uneNan1pled opportunity to
end the agrarian troubles and conflicts
between classe In Ireland.

HE KILLED THREE WIVES
Albert A. Knapp of Hamilton, Ohio,
Accused of Serious
~ Crimes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 25.--Albert A. Knapp
of Hamilton, Ohio, formerly Of this city,
was routed from his bed at the home OF
his bride, formerly Anna May Gamble, at
$50 Indiana avenue, this morning by the
police and taken to Hamilton on the
charge of murder. The police say that
Anna May Gamble is his last surviving
wife. Knapp was taken away In irons.
Knapp although only Al years old, has
had four wives. Mrs. Knapp number four
became the wife of the prisoner about
two weeks ago. 49, . -.
The other wives of Knapp were Emma
St11bbs. Jennie Connors and Hannah Cod
dard. The Hamilton police do not know
what has become of Emma Stubs, the
first wife, or Hannah Goddard, Mrs
knapp No. 8. An uncle of Hannah God
dard reported to the Hamilton police that
his niece had disappeared Dec. %, 1902,
and that Knapp had married an Indian
apolis girl.
An investigation began and it was
learned that Mrs. Knapp was last seen
Dec 21st. The following day the nus
band got a horse and wagon at a livery
stable and was seen to load large box
in the wagon and carry 1t away.
Further inquiry was made, followed by
an examination of the records, and it
was found that a few years ago the dead
body of Jennie Connors, who was Mrs.
Knapp No. ?, had been found in a canal
at Hamilton. A coroner's Inquest was
made at the time. but little evidence was
found to subs tantiate any theory.
At police headquarters Knapp was
questioned concerning the wherea bouts
of his second wife. He said she dis
appeared from her home Dec. q, and that
he did not know what had become of
her. When asked what he had in the
box which he carried from his home the
day after his wife was last seen, Knapp
seemed confused but finally explained
that he disposed of a box of old clothes.
In his confusion he said he had thrown
the box away about two miles from his
home. Knapp was reared in this city. He
has served eight years in the penitentiary.
