THE BEIRUT AFFAIR.



London, Sept. 5.-The Morning Post
publishes q letter from its Constanti-
nople correspondent in which he dis
cusses the Beirut affair and the posi-
ton of the American missionaries In
Asia Minor. He says:
Things have arrived at q crisis.
The United States must either insist
upon the porte listening to its repre-
sensations regarding American con-
yerts or drop the missionaries alto
gether. The latter course is naturally
impossible and the sending OF a squad
ron has great significance as showing
a determination on the part Of America
to take an active part in the Turkish
question. One result Of this step Will
probably be to induce the sultan to
raise his representative at Washing
ton to the rank Of ambassador so
that the United States can be equally
represented here. At present America
Is at a decided disadvantage In this
respect compared with the other first
class powers Nobody can quite lore
see the ultimate attitude OF the
United States, but II is almost certain
that her weight will incline on the
side Of the Christian against the Turk.
At the same time as matter OF I'M
portance to Great Britain, America Is
almost bound to oppose the descent OF
Russia on the Dardanelles. because In
religious matters the Turk is more
tolerant than the Russian"

SHAW ON FARMING.
The Treasury Secretary Makes an
Address at Columbus.
AGRICULTURE IS TAGGING BEHIND.
Very Few Farmers Able 70 Tell What .
Pig or Steer Has Cost to Raise--
The Advantages Of Coun-
try Life.

Columbus, o., Sept. 5.--Secretary Of
the Treasury Shaw delivered an ad-
dress yesterday afternoon at the state
fair grounds here. He did not mem
ton the currency question in his
speech, combining himself to general
agricultural topics. He declared that
In its economics agriculture had not
kept pace with other industries, say
ing:
"You grow q fat pig or steer, but
the chances are that you cannot tell
whether he costs you three or six cents
q pound to produce. When these are
marketed every bit Of waste ceases.
every by-product is saved and 1t is
known to the fraction of cent what
each has cost At the risk Of Offend
ing some am going to say that If
questioned the first ten farmers ! met
In adjoining states. nine would tell
me how productive their farms used
to be, how much butter they used to
make and how much hay they used
TO produce.
"There Is no excuse for land de-
teriorating and as certain as day econ
omy must be pracuced on the farm as
1t is In the factory, packing house
and refinery. The by-products must
be turned to profitable account"
Mr.. Shaw declared that the success
of farm-reared boys In all lines OF
business and professions is not to be
wondered at, because Of the habits OF
industry and thrift and self-reliance
he learns.
Upon your farms you hold the most
hopeful generation of boys OF which
this world has knowledge" he de-
clared. do not teach them they must
leave the farm In order to succeed.
