The courier., 1903-02-28

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The long-expected
crisis in Turkish affairs now really seems
to be imminent. The puppets who are
to be made responsible for the coming
combat between such of the powers as
may be drawn into it have been so care
fully rehearsed by the Muscovite stage
managers that the successful enactment
of another tragedy in the career of the
sick man of Europe" should not possibly
fail-unless, perchance, instead of trag-
edy the situation develops into a farce
comedy and the shadow of the bear has
once more to skulk back from the covet-
ed Balkans.
One thing is certain, that before Tur-
key will give up another slice of territory
she will fight any armies that may be
allied against her to the bitter end. She
has lost so much during the past CEN
tury that her diminishing greatness is
one of the bitterest shocks that Moham-
medan pride has ever sustained.
Early in the century just closed Greece
attained it's independence. This was
followed by the autonomy of Roumania,
Bulgaria and Crete. Bessarabia and
Batoum fell to Russia as spoils of her
last war, while Egypt and Cyprus have
fallen to England and Syria is under the
protection of France and other powers.
The ostensible cause of the present
contemplated rising in the Balkans is
the inhuman treatment of Macedonians
by Turks. Whatever else the Macedonian
committee, which foments most Of these
troubles, may be, 1t certainly is in col
lusion with Russia and is one Of the most
potent tools Of her Balkan policy.
Although the Bulgarians themselves
are apparently endeavoring to suppress
the Macedonian uprising they have mob
il1xed large army to menace Turkey,
which will If an outbreak occurs be the
main reason Of the conflagration.
The reforms which Austria and Russia
have asked Turkey to make for the
0oneft of Macedonians seem to be
oDeondary matter, as irrespective Of her
c0mpliance or noncompliance huge

willing that the Cossack shall displace
the Briton i'm India, China, Polynesia
save rectification. When the day comes
which is as certain as the succession
of the seasons-that she holds the pinch
beck German empire under the heel of
her ready hosts, then she will have a
recrudescence of the spirit which holds
the Russian Tartar and Is destructive
to the interests" of western civilization.
Napoleon III. joined England in the
Crimean campaign not because France
had forgotten Waterloo or the dolts who
had won that half fought contest, but
because 1t was essential to his purpose
to delude the PhariseAs who fancied
themselves arbiters of the destinies of
Europe.
France, to recapitulate the reasoning
of her diplomatists, for the moment
needs the semi-barbarous millions who
aspire to the empire of Alexander. When
the die is cast and the battle won France
will oppose an iron wall to Russian ag-
gression upon Constantinople with a
firmer front and a nobler purpose than
the land-grabbing Briton, who simply
wants everything in sight and pledges
what would be his immortal soul-if he
had a soul-to secure 1t. When the die
is cast and the battle ranged. France
will have five million Muscovites to con-
front the shambling German hosts. The
result will be what Napoleon brought
about at Tilsit, at Austerlitz, at Fried
land. and the map of Europe will be re-
constructed philosophically and ration
ally. Twenty millions of Poles will form
a great nation. Prussia will be reduced
to its original duchy Of Brandenburg,
Austria will be obliterated, and the re-
public of Europe will be made up of
France. Spain. Italy, Germany and Po-
land. Prussia will disappear from the
cognizance Of men.
This is the meaning of the Franco
Russian alliance. And il Christianity
still means what II has always stood for.
this must be the outcome.
For, as a matter Of fact, the endurance
The courier., 1903-02-28

armies are preparing to pour south
ostensibly to right the wrongs of Mace
domains and Albians but really to es-
tablish the claim of Russia to rule
the Bosphorus and Austria's to such
territory as she may have considered
necessary to the establishment of an
other good port on the Adriatic and other
advantages long sought in that direc-
ton.
OF course Montenegro and Albania and
Servia, all pet dogs of the northern bear,
will be ready to pounce upon the sick
man when Russia gives the word so that
really there would seem little chance for
the disgrace" of Europe.
Italy, however, has dreams in the direc-
ton of Dalmatia, and her old-time feud
with Austria may be relied on to stop
any move that Austria may make to
obtain Turkish territory i'm case such aim
on the part of Austria becomes DEM
onstrated fact as the result of her pact
with Russia.
AS 1 wrote you some months ago a
treaty exists between Servia and Russia
by means of which the army of the
former will cooperate with that of
Russia as soon as she sets her battalions
marching in the direction of the Balkans.
Britain has been called upon by Tur-
key to carry out her part of a very old
and well understood bargain-in other
words asked to help out her old ally. For
the nonce England is nonplussed; the
situation has developed so suddenly that
she has not had time through the jingo
press to lash the public into a fury
about it.
France sits and smacks her lips at the
thought of having Austria for a co-ally,
but she would rather have Italy in her
place for several reasons.
And what will France do under the
circumstances?
Have we so soon forgotten what that
astute analyst Tolstoi has told US. Here
is digest Of his opinion on this eternal
question: France needs the cohorts of
the Muscovite. In pay, she is more than

of the Hohenzollern travesty Of admin
istration Is simply the reduction of man
kind to the conditions In vogue three CEN
turies ago. The kaiser Is an irrespon-
sible mountebank, believing himself born
by a special interposition of Providence,
free to make war, to maintain peace at
his own idiotic will irrespective Of the
will or prayer of fifty millions of reason
ing beings pledged to his vagaries.
Empires have seen, known and endured
imbeciles in the past; they have suffered
madmen's manias. But no empire ever
bent before such a pranking figure as
the present emperor of the Germans.
George the Third was a madman, Ma
poleon /. was half demon, half demo-
crat; but no ruler of a great people was
ever more irresponsible than the opera
bouffe monarch of the finest people In
Christendom. Hence, declares the Gaul,
when the republic is ready to move, the
German house Of cards viii tumble with
a swiftness that has no precedent In
history, and the end of the twentieth
century will find II difficult to realize
what its beginning was.
British pride, suspicion, rivalry denied
Napoleon III. the compensation France
thought the due of her soldiers valor in
the Crimea. When Sebastopol fell before
the furious onslaught of MacMahon's di-
vision at the Malakoff, Napoleon hinted
to the British Cabinet that the time was
ripe for effacing the Captain Kidd treaties
of 1915. by which France had heen robbed
of her natural boundaries. But the Brit
ish cabinet turned a deaf ear to diplo-
matte hints and FASTENED to come to
terms with Russia lest Napoleon might
audaciously initiate his uncle's methods
and occupy the stolen states.
Now, however, France sees her way to
more dazzling results. England, In
volved in upholding Turkish misrule. will
oppose Christendom. Then Frances
time will be at hand. She. too. has scores
to settle with several who balked French
designs in the past quarter century. who

Strange SiameSe Custom.

They have a novel method In siam of getting rid of the bodies of paupers and criminals. In one of the temples Is kept a flock of q hundred vultures, and the bodies Instead of being buried or burned. are given to them as food. As soon as they catch sight of body the capaclous creatures gather around it, and it only takes them q minute or two to pick all the flesh off it.
 A repugnant sight if is, but. according to Siamese physicians, 1t Is an excellent sani- tary measure. The soil of siam, they point out, is generally moist and hence 1t Is much better that bodies should be treated in this way than replaced in the ground. for. If buried, they would surely prove more or less of menace to the public health.
 After the vultures have finished their feast the skeletons are placed in wooden boxes and burned.

Giant FlaShlight.

Of special interest 10 the commercial world Is the new hashlght which has been erected by the German government on the Island of Helgoland in the North Sea.
 This light is not only the largest in the world but also the oldest, for Germans declare that 1t never had model. The lechnlcians employed on the work main tained that the German reflector. with It's exactly parabolic ground work glass mir Tor. or speculum. would prove superior to every other device which has hitherto been used for this purpose, and the great success of the Heligoand fast flashing lights shows that they were right.
 Experiments were then made In Nurem- berg and proved far more successful than had been deemed possible. The revolving reflector of tue German apparatus was fully equal 10 the French revolving light.

that the mountains belonged to them and not to the whites. For five years this hand ful of braves defied the government, hiding in the impenetfable forests from the sol diers, until dnallly the United States, recog- nlzing their claim, allowed them a reserya- ton among the mountains they loved so well, where their descendants, with the old patriarch. Kohleeostay, still in their midst, are living 10 this day.
 Kohleeostay, who boasts of the purest Indian blood, scorns the whites, and has always refused to live with them or learn their language. He cherishes an intense admiration foa Andrew Jackson, however, under whom he once fought in an expedi- tion against the Greek Indians of Georgia a service for winch, he claims, the United States promised to pay him, but never did.
