TURKISH MINISTER SAYS
SULTAN IS NOT SICK

Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. does
not credit the recent press reports an
nouncing the illness of Abdul Hamid, the
Sultan. The minister says he received
official correspondence from the SuItan's
court only two days ago and that his
majesty's health at that writing was
reported 10 be in excellent condition.
The latest dispatches. he states, more
over. announce a most satisfactory con-
dition of affairs throughout the Balkans
and he anticipates no trouble there as
a side issue TO the Russo-Japanese war.
Abdul Hamid, the present Sultan. is
now sixty-two years of age He has
been troubled with very little Illness
and has become quite stout. Though he
has numerous sons, the succession to
the throne will not go to his own chill
dren, but according TO the Turkish Gus
tom the oldest brother of the ruler. who
in this instance is only a few years
younger than the Sultan, will take up
the Scepter.

SANDY Broq,rl Stack.

A young lawyer In Charleston. 8. G.,
whose hair was OF that color generally
called SANDY" was one day cross-ex-
amining an Irishman a witness in q
case involving the ownership OF a GER
tain COW.
1t became very material to prove the
color of the cow and the Irishman was
pressed by the lawyer for a description
of the animal as TO color. After a mo-
ment OF hard thinking and with a twin
kle in his eye and just a shadow of q
smile on his lips the witness replied:
We'll, sir: as near as l can come to
the color IL was q sort Of an ugly
sandy brown. about the color OF your
own hair sir"
The answer evoked a burst OF laugh
ter. and the lawyer did not proceed
any further with the cross-examination
of the witness.
After that day, the lawyer was known
as Sandy Brown and he often told the
joke on himself.

The Reed Memorial.
Steps Taken to Perpetuate the Memory
of Heroic Army Officer.

The work done by Walter Reed,
the heroic army officer who died in
consequence of his efforts to stamp
out yellow fever in Cuba, has perhaps
been forgotten by the general public.
but not by those directly interested
in colonial administration. An asso-
citation has been formed for the pur-
pose of perpetuating the memory of
the valuable services of Major Reed.
by means of a monument. The idea
was first advanced about a year ago
at dinner given by Alexander Ora
ham Bell 10 several members of the
American Association of Scientists.
Nothing is more certain than that
scientific investigations with a view
TO the stamping out of germ diseases
will play a great part in the future
welfare of the race. There are two
directions in which these investiga-
tons may even now be pursued with
great and Immediate advantage.
Means may be found to reduce the
danger Of living in tropical climates
In which there are American and Eu-
ropean colonies, and the danger of
tropical diseases attacking troops
fighting in such regions may be
greatly lessened. 1t is said that
Major Reeds discovery led TO the de-
vising of means of stamping out yell
low fever in Cuba. This one achieve
ment is enough TO win a man immor-
tality, when the enormous danger of
e feyer-breeding island at our very
doors is considered, and when the
havoc wrought IN the past in New
Orleans, in Charleston, in Norfolk, is
remembered.
The progress of science depends on
causes so closely linked with each
other that every discovery tending to
lessen the danger of one germ disease
is likely to throw some light on the
best means of suppressing or roofing
out another. We are certain to have
all sorts of problems OF this nature
on our hands in the near future, and
the lives OF thousands Of young
American soldiers and civil officers
depend on the safety with which it
may be possible TO live in the tropics.

listen to the preaching Of a certain
clergyman, why not take one's

Russia has come fatty out with the
announcement, that she will not allow
any interference with her backyard
in this war. She will not tolerate
mediation now, or Intervention when
the Japanese have been whipped, as
of course they will be- The attitude
OF Japan appears to be the same; in
deed, there has been no reason to sup
pose at any time that Japan wanted
outside persons to NEEDLE with her

unequiyocal declaration leaves all our
consciences clear. We cannot make

her mind not to do without making
war on her ourselves, which would,
of course, be immoral But it looks

HEARST AND ANTS
FIGHTING FOR IOWA
Disposition of Twenysix Votes Will Depend Result
of Today'S Primaries.

The result of the primaries in twenty
six coSInties of Iowa, today. will practi-
cally determine whether or not the
Democrats of the Hawkeye State will
support Representative William r.
Hearst for the Presidency in the st.
Louis convention.
OF the CO. delegates already chosen 20
the State convention, which meets next
w etnesday. both the Hearst and the
antl-Hearst men claim majority, while
the chances are that the former are
more nearly correct in their calculations
than the latter. In fact. the anti-Hearst
men, who are not united upon any can
dictate. and who, although generally
favoring Judge Parker. want to send an
unrestricted delegation to ST. LOUIS

Allied Against Harrison.

The story of a somewhat singular po-
'Itical alliance comes from Chicago Ex-
Mayor John p Hopkins and the fol-
low rs Of Representative Hearst have
jciEed forces against Mayor Harrison.
and the test of strength between the
combination and the mayor will come
at the primaries for the election OF
delegates to the State Democratic con-
vention.
Hopkins is a gold Democrat, and an
anti-Bryan man. Yet he is now working
hand in glove with Hearst, and, II he
wins, a Hearst delegation will be sent
from the Windy City to the State con-
vention.
Back of the combination is all the
factional bitterness between the present
mayor and the ex-mayor. Hopkins cares
naught for Hearst, and at heart is a
strong anti-Hearst man. But he wants
to prevent Mayor Harrison from retain
ing control of the Cook county Democra-
tic organization.
He has been struggling for several
years to dethrone Mayor Harrison, and.
failing in each attempt, has now reached
such a desperate condition as to enter
into an alliance with candidate whose
political principles he does not sympa-
thlZe WIN
II is understood that in case the Hop
kins-Hearst combination wins. the pro-
ceeds will be divided as follows:
Hopkins will be given control Of the
city organization. which is all he wants.
Hearst wifi get the delegates-the object
for which he is striving.
Mayor Harrison Is not a candidate for
place on the Democratic national
ticket. But he wants TO continue his
hold upon the Democratic organization
and also to elect delegates TO the State
convention who VIII vote to instruct Hill
nois delegates in the national convention
10 vote for Representative James Z.
Williams of that State
Has Downed Opposition
In his four campaigns for mayor. Mr..
Harrison has always had Democratic OPP
position, but he has each time come of
victorious. In the last campaign he had
the support of Mr.. Hearsts newspa pers
in Chicago. practically all the daily
newspaper support he had Since Har-
rison has refused to declare for Hearst
and is in favor of Mr.. Williams, the
Hearst papers have been lighting him.
Heretofore the mayor has numbered
among his following majority OF the
