SLOWLY PASSING AWAY.

National Encampment Shows
Decrease in Membership.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-1he report of the.
adjutant general Of the Grand Army
to be made to the national encamp-
ment at Boston will show an active
membership of a quarter of million
The total number of civil war veterans
still living is estimated by the pension
commissioner at 100000 During the
year ending June 30, 1904, 1929 mem
bers Of the order have died. The pen
sion commissioner reports that little
more than 10000 veterans passed
away during the same period 1t is
plain inference, therefore, that in the
Grand Army of the Republic are the
younger and more active survivors of
the great war. During the last year
the gains in the Grand Army aggre-
gated $4,000, while the actual losses
were slightly in excess of the gains
The order is organized into As depart
ments, embracing about 5000 Grand
Army posts. During the last year 49,
new posts were organized, IS surren-
dered their charters, and about 100
failed to make reports.

TROOPS
INVADE LHASSA
rHIBET's SACRED CITY OCCUPIED
BY 5000 SOLDIERS.
IS AN ASTOUNDING EVENT
For the First Time Streets of Religious
Center of Buddhism Reecho to
the Tread of the Unbe-
liever's Foot.

London, Aug. 8.-Maj. Gen. MacDon-
aid, with 5000 British and Indian
troops, occupied Lhassa, the capital
city of Thibet, known as the sacred
city, at noon last Wednesday. The
marching of British soldiers into
Thibet is the most astounding event
in a thousand years of Asiatic history.
For 1900 years Lhdssa has been the
most hallowed spot in Asia. 1t is the
religious metropolis of the Buddhist
world. For centuries Thibet has been
the forbidden land. It's capital has
been the worlds one unsolved mys
terry. Lhassa has been seen from q
distance, but never before has the white
unbeliever stepped foot on it's sacred
streets.
The lamas fought the British adj
the narrow passes N the Himalayas.
Defeated at every tt I'm, they implored
the British troops to turn back and
not set foot within the precincts of
their sacred city. They appealed to
Col. Younghusband, the British COM
missioner, to stop short of Lhassa.
saying if the British should enter the
sacred city the dalai lama might die
of shock to his religious feelings. Col.
Younghusband replied that the pro-
posed treaty must be signed in Lhas-
sa. He promised that none of the
British would enter the monasteries ii
they were not fired upon from them.
and that they would leave Lhassa as
soon as the treaty is signed.
Fled to a Monastery.
Lhassa, Thibet, Aug. 3-(Delayed in
transmission) The British expedition
is encamped mile from the sacred
mountain of Potala, on which is stu
ated the dalai lamas palace, and in
the immediate vicinity of the dalai
lama's private gardens. The dalai
lama fled to a monastery 10 miles dis
tant. 1t is reported that he has shut
himself up in strict seclusion, refusing
to see even the highest state officers
and declaring that he will remain Sc
Guided for three years. Col. Young
husband has received a ceremonial
visit from the amban, who promised
to assist in arriving at settlement
and made gifts of food to the British
troops. The appearance of the city
shows the descriptions of explorers to
be extremely accurate. The surround
ings are very fertile and the whole
place gives evidence of great pros
perity.

1t is time to put stop to motor mad
ness. We mean both kinds of madness.
that of the begoggled "scorcher," who
drives his locomotive at furious speed
upon the highway without regard for
limb or life of himself or of others,
and also that of those who in impotent
evaporation hurl stones or shoot bull
lets at the "scorching" lawbreakers.
Doubtless it is not right to shoot at
motormen or at their engines, though
it is not difficult to understand how
strong the provocation to do so is at
times. That form of madness must be
checked.

FLEET SAILS FOR
PORT OF SMYRNA
ORDERS SENT TO AMERICAN EU-
RoPEAN SQUADRON.
TIRED OF sULTAN's DELAY
Show of Force to Be Made in Support
of Minister Leishman's Demands
for Fair Treatment of Amer
lean interests.

Washington, Aug. S.-The Euro
pean squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Jewell, has been ordered to
cruise in Turkish waters to enforce
the demands of the United States upon
the sultan. The president and his ad-
visers are of the opinion that the sui
tan has insulted and Inundated the
United States and that to delay longer
a show of force would be to demon
strate timidity.
May Seize Smyrna.
The correspondent of the New York
World telegraphed that paper that if
the presence of the ships does not
bring the sultan TO time the port of
Smyrna will be seized and held until
all questions in dispute are settled.
Rear Admiral JEWELS squadron con-
sists of the cruisers Cleveland, Olym-
pia (Which was Admiral Dewey's flag
ship at Manila bay) and the Balti-
more This squadron has been at Nice
awaiting just such an emergency. 1t
is regarded as quite strong enough to
cope with the sultan's navy in any
emergency The cruisers will go to
Smyrna, because this place is in direct
communication with Washington and
only about 800 miles distant from
Constantinople. The trip from Nice
will take three days, probably, and
when he arrives Admiral Jewell will
put himself in )mmunication with
Minister Leishma and Washington.
Cause of the Action.
No money is involved IN the long
drawn-out dispute with Turkey, which
is now becoming acute. Turkey is not
giving American schools and missions
within her dominions such liberal
treatment as she accords to similar in
situations of France or Germany. The
American demand has long been for
equality of rights and opportunities
with the most favored nation in this
and in several other respects regard
ing American citizens in Turkey
Time after time during two years
Minister Leishman has asked the sui
tan to grant to American citizens in
Turkey the same rights and privileges
that citizens of other countries pos
sess. He was asked to abolish dis
ordinations against American reli-
gious and educational institutions in
| Turkey.
Put OFF by Sultan.
Upon one preteXt or another Minis
ter Leishman has been put off by the
sultan. Finally the sultan agreed to
see him and granted him an audience
on July 20 last. Minister Leishman
cabled the state department he had
presented the governments demands
to the sultan and would receive an
answer on Tuesday Minister Leish
man went on Tuesday to see the sui
TAM who refused to receive him. The
sultan again refused and would not
see him. On Thursday he sent a per
emptory request for an audience and
an answer. He did not get the audi
ence and the Sultan's ministers gave
him most unsatisfactory assurances
Thereupon he cabled the whole history
of his attempts to the state depart
ment and expressed his opinion that
he had exhausted all diplomatic expe-
dents.
