CLEVELAND MADE MERRY
The Ex-President At an Old Colony
Club Clambrake.
Advocates the Buzzard's Bay Fish
cries and Incidentally Tells
About His Latest Catch.

New York, Aug. 30.-Former Prest
dent Grover Cleveland has been max
ing merry with the members and
guests of the Old Colony club, at a
clambake on Marshall's island, says a
Times special from Bourne, Mass. The
feature of the day was a short humor-
GUS address he made.
81 hope" said he, that the club
will persevere in it's efforts toward the
unremitting preservation of the Buzz
yards Bay fisheries, and | am willing
to take out all the benefits of the club
in fishing.
within the past few years | have
been widely jeered and derided for
spending so much of my time at fish
ing. For those who jeer and deride
me | have only a quiet and unqualified
contempt. | go fishing because | like
it, and I hope that | will continue to
go fishing until as nea the end Of the
chapter as possible.
81 should like to say right here that
I am more interested in the protection
of the fishing at Buzzard's Bay than
about our-hoary-headed infant indus
tries. l care more for these fishing
interests than I do about the policy OF
the next federal administration.
81 hope that the Old Colony club will
keep up it's fight for the protection OF
the fisheries. Let there be no relaXa-
lions nor compromise. Keep up the
fight increasingly.
Nov, some people are in the habit
of telling fish stories, and some people
notably a well-known physician of my
acquaintance, are accustomed to weigh
their catch of fish on their own private
scales. Although a recent happy event
was not the occasion for telliag any
unusual yarns, I put my fish scales into
requisition and weighed my --latest
catch honestly, and the tally was al
ever nine pounds"

On Monday, July 6, William Sorrel,
an inmtae of the Randolph county in
Urinary, ate dinner. Since that time
he has refused all nutriment, except
, water, and has used that very sparing-
ly. He shows no disposition to par
take of any nutriment, no matter how
temptingly prepared. 1t is one of the
most remarkable cases on record, and
beats Tanners time 80 per cent, with
promises of still greater extension Of
the fast. OF course, he is insane, but
he observes whatever t%ranspires
around him.

The recent rains and the warm
weather have assured a fine corn crop
for Missouri. Therains have not injured
the wheat to any extent in Missouri,
for the reason that the threshing is
practically completed and there is no
wheat in the shock and very little in
the stack. Potatoes have not yet suf-
fered from the wet weather, but they
will begin to sprout and to rot if the
rains continue heavy.

ADMIRAL COTTON
|. GOES TO BEIRUT
10 See that American Interests Re-
ceive Prompt Protection.
ENTIRE SQUADRON ON ITS WAY
Minister Leishman Indicates That
American Interests and Lives are
in Peril on Account of the
Fannticism of Population.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Other than the
the advices from Admiral Cotton an.
~nouncing his departure with the cruis-
ers Brooklyn and San Francisco for
Beirut, there were no developments in
the Turkish situation to-day so far as
Washington is concerned. The orders
to Admiral Cotton to proceed to Beirut
will not be cancelled it is %authorita-
lively stated unless the president so
directs. Such an order at this time,
however, apparently would not avail
anything, as the admiral is now on his
way to Turkey.
The administration regards it as a
sacred duty to see that adequate and
prompt assistance and protection
should be given American interests in
the disturbed district and for this rea-
son feels justified in having the war
ships sent to Turkey.
Departure of the Cruisers.
With the departure of the cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco for
Beirut, as announced by Admiral Cot
ton to the navy department, the entire
European squadron is now on its way
to the Turkish seaport, the gunboat
Machias having left Genoa Saturday.
Admiral Cotton telegraphed the navy
department that he would reach Beirut
by next Friday night.
Mr.. Leishman takes a serious view
OF the condition of affairs in Turkey.
Practically the entire dominion of the
sultan is in a state of unrest, and in
some parts the existing disturbance is
equivalent to instruction.
Serious Trouble Appreciated.
Minister Leishman apprehends seri-
Gus trouble, and indicates his belief
that American interests and American
lives are in peril on account of the
fanaticism of the Mussulman popula-
ton.
For these reasons it was decided by
the president that AG niral Cotton's
squadron should proceed to Turkish
waters in accordance with his previous
orders. Notwithstanding the inaccuracy
of the report of the assault on Consul
Magelssen.
One of Minister Leishman's recent
messages says:
