SAYS ALBANIANs ARE CHECKED
Turkish lnspector-(;enerai Optimistic as
10 the situation.

Special Caois Despatch 10 THE SUN
LONDON, April 15-A despatch TO the
Times from Uskub. Province of Kossovo,
European Turkey. states that In an inter-
view Hilmi Pasha, the Turkish Inspector
General, said that tho Albanian question
has been settled, and that the Porte has
no further anxiety concerning il. The
disturbance was caused by small and
ignorant faction. and the revolt had been
in no way general. The 10000 troops now
massed around Mitrovitza would in any
case overawe the malcontents.
Hilmi Pasha added that he expected
serious difficulties with the Bulgarian bands,
whose activity was being only temporarily
checked by tho recent bad weather. but
the Turks were quite ready TO receive them.
Hilmi Pasha was dffident about dis
cussing the Austrian and Russian reforms,
but said they were progressing. He hoped
TO be able TO give proof OF this in three
months.
The correspondent adds that local opinion
in diplomatic and other circles does not
bear out the statements Of Hilmi Pasha,
who IL regarded as capable and well mean
ing. but as being by far too optimistic.
The Albanians are reported to have
formed a -missa.- that il, to have tenn
porarily abandoned all vendettas and inter-
tribal quarrels. for the purpose Of resisting
the reform programme. The Sultan's peace
mission is a farce. and the only possible
solution Of the trouble is complete dis
armament and the military occupation OF
Albania. The weather is now fine and
warm. and the Bulgarian bands are con-
sequently expected to recommence active
operations.

The Good Roads Meeting.

The road convention, which assem-
bled in the court house last Saturday
morning, September 10th, was COM
posed Of representative citizens who
| exhibit an interest in the question of
good roads that was commendable.
They seemed to have come here
with q determination to thoroughly
and exhaustively discuss the road
situation as it affects this county and
by q concerted action to have some
economical, but practical and uniform
system for working the public high
ways of the county adopted.
The meeting was not as> largely
attended as we had hoped it would
be, but what it lacked in numbers it
more than made up in earnestness
and enthusiasm, and while the result
was not as decisive and emphatic. as
we would like it to have been, yet
upon the whole, it set the ball in
motion that will ultimately accom-.
plish the desired end, and We take
the discussion as an unerring augury
of better roads, Our advice is to let
not the agitation lag but talk good
roads from now on until they are an
assured fact. The action of the
convention has carried the question
OF good roads into politics and has
made it the leading issue in the COM
ing primary to be held next year.
While this is proper to certain ex-
tent, but then the primary is long
way off and the present necessity for
good roads is crowding upon US with
it's responsibilities and demands i'm
mediate action. Why can't the peo-
pie of the va,ious neighborhoods do
what has been done in some of the
other counties of the State. Obligate
themselves TO- supplement the COM
mutation tax and the work performed
by the road hands on the public
roads of their vicinity by both cash
and work and the use of their teams.
This system would undoubtedly give
us relief from the evils under which
We are now suffering and by it the
roads could be put in excellent con-
dition at comparatively small ex-
pense.

When Mr. Cleveland was president he

him roundly to task for 1t and was quite

contemporary history, how The Sun could
have been as ascetic as it was in dealing

lictions OF Mr.. Cleveland 1t was that

Mr.. Cleveland would exercise his craft
with rod or gun and work a mighty and

true that Mr.. Cleveland's use In this way
OF the little vessels of the treasury marine
was purely incidental to their discharse

If the sunset is o'clock, the length OF

night is ten hours, making the twenty
four hours. You double the hour of sun
