BRING SULTAN TO TIME.
The Porte Has Practically Granted All
That United States De-
mands.

Constantinople, Sunday, Aug. THE
announcement Of the dispatch Of the
American European squadron to Smyrna
has perturbed the Porte and will doubt
less hasten the solution Of the questions
at issue between the United States and
turkey in a manner satisfactory to the
former. The Porte promised American
Minister Leishman that a reply favorable
to the American demand for the same IA
vored treatment III the matter of schools,
hospitals and charitable institutions as is
accorded to other powers would be given
August 2. The giving of the answer was
then postponed to August 4, but up to
the present time no answer has been re-
ceiyed
The Porte recognized the demand in
principle, but thus far has failed to exc
cute the necessary measures and the
American legation has now sent a COM
munication to the Porte pointedly de-
handing a speedy and final settlement
the issuance of the necessary orders and
the official acknowledgment by Turkey
of the American demands. There are no
monetary claims.
Washington. d. c., Aug. S.-Secretary
Hay today bluntly told Chekib Bey, the
Turkish minister here. that the patience
OF the American government is well-nigh
exhausted. The charge is expected to

AMERICA FIRST AS BEERMAKER.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 9.-"Ger-

Frank Mason, consul general at Berlin,
in a report to the department of com
merce and labor. He shows from the
annual report Of the German Brewers
association that their product last year
was less by 1320S5, go gallons than that
of the American breweries. The falling
off is accounted for variously-cold, wet
weather. the spread Of temperance prin-
ciples, the practice of economy by the
middle classes. and the abolition in many
shops of the .sbeer pause and the sub
stitution of tea and coffee as beverages.

President Donnelly of Butchers Union
Claims That Trouble Has Strength
ened His Party.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. S.-President Mi
chael Donnelly of the National Meat Cut
tiers and Butcher Workmen's union said
today:
THE packing house strike is the great
est educator of Socialism the west has
ever experienced. From being iuncon-
scious Socialists the workers are realizing
that they are in reality part of the
great Socialist movement. The harsh
treatment meted out to the strikers by
the packers and the inhuman conditions
under which they are willing to have men
and women live and work in their slauch-
ter houses, has brought organized labor to
the conclusion that the propertied class
has no hesitation in consigning the masses
to a fate worse than that of the slaves.
Edward Tilden's advocacy of child labor
III the yards has also added fuel to the
flame of socialism.
From this class distinction and recogni-
ton will arise the great Socialist third
party to achieve reforms by the ballot in.
