INCIDENT NOW CLOSED
Victory on All Questions
Is Claimed by the State
Department at Washington

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 13.-The
issues between Turkey and the United
states were arranged to-day to the
satisfaction of both Government.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s. = There
was some expectation that the State
Department would be able to-day to
announce the successful conclusion of
the negotiations with Turkey look
ing to the prevention of discrimination
against American citizens there. An
answer has been received from the
Turkish Government which Is re-
garded as satisfactory, and to make
sure there will be no misunderstand-
ing as to the agreement the State De-
partment embodies it's own construc-
ton of that agreement in the last
chapters Of the correspondence. But
there has been some delay in the ex-
change of cable messages, so that it is
not expected now that the last word
will be said until Monday. Meanwhile
Admiral JewelPs fleet will remain at
Smyrna, awaiting notice from Minister
Leishman.
1t may be said, however, that the
incident is practically closed, with a
victory for the State Department on
all points.

HORSE. AMAzES
THE SCIENTISTS
Stallion Displays Mental
Powers Equal to Those of
an Ordinary Human Being

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-William Won Os-
ten, who has for a long time made in
vestigation of the intelligence of ami
mails, has reached results in educating
an Orloff stallion that cause amazement
among scientific men. Some of those
who have tested the mental powers of
the animal are DR.. Studt, the Prussian
Minister of Education; Professor
! George Sweinforther,p 1.-THE famous Afri-
can traveller; Professor Karl Stumpf Of
the Berlin University; Herr Schillings,
the naturalist, and Ludwig Heck, di-
rector of the Berlin Geological Gardens.
The horse, besides adding, subtract
ing, multiplying and dividing sums,
does examples involving several Of
those operations, and not only simply
repeats what 1t Is taught. but solves
fresh problems put to him by the ex-
aminers in the absence Of his master,
showing grasp of the principles Of
arithmetic. The stallion also forms lit
tie sentences, remembers them next day
and discriminates between twelve COL
ors and shades and gives their names.
The animal distinguishes musical tones.

the chromatic scale, and picks out dis
cords, designating which tone to omit
in order to restore harmony. The horse
communicates by a system Of hoof
beats representing the alphabet.
Professor Schillings has taken much
interest in displaying the horses ac
complishments to other scientists. DR..
Studt says Herr Won Osten would have
been burned as a wizard in the earlier
ages Of the world.
When the exercises are prolonged the
horse becomes nervous and inattentive.
and frequently makes mistakes.
Professor Won Osten affirms that the
horse is as we'll educated as a boy who
has gone to school for the same number
of years, and the professor desires that
a commission of specialists be selected
to take the horse under observation for
four weeks. This probably will be done,
with the view of determining whether
the conventional idea is true that ami
NAL instinct and human intelligence
are essentially different.

TRIES TO END
LIFE ON LINER
Former San Francisco jew
eler, En- Route Home From
France, Attempts Suicide
CONDITION is SERIOUS
Emil f. Hirschfield, Fearing
He Would Become Insane,
Slashes Throat With Razor

NEW YORK. Aug 13.-Emil
Hirschfeld of San Francisco attempt
ed suicide by cutting his throat on the
French line steamship La Touraine
just before she reached her dock from
Havre to-day. His condition Is seri-
Gus. A note which Hirschfield had
written before making the attempt
upon his life said that he intended to
commit suicide. but gave no reason
for the act.
When the liner reached her pier the
ships surgeon stated that Hirschheld
was in such a serious condition that
he would not permit his removal to
shore hospital.
He said the wounded man had told
him that his full name was Emil F.
Hirschf1eld. that he was a merchant,
38 years old and resided at 2239 SUIT
ter street, San Francisco. Hirschfeld
booked on the La Touraine from Par
Is and his fellow passengers say he
seemed very much depressed during
the entire voyage. He kept much to
himself and was seldom seen except
at meal times. Previous to sailing he
is said to have telegraphed to a broth
er at San Francisco to meet him in
New York on his arrival here.
Early this morning the occupant of
the cabin adjoining the one occupied
by Hirschfleld was awakened by a
knocking on the wall. A steward was
notified and when the door Of his cab
in was opened Hirschfeld was found
lying on the floor, almost unconscious
from the loss Of blood. A bloodstained
razor was lying by his side.
From a note which the man wished
delivered to his brother Albert, it an
pears that he was haunted by a fear
of insanity. He had been in i'll health
for some time.

CIVILIZATIONS ANTIQUITY.
The Art of Glazing Pottery Was Ole
Centuries Before the Chris
tan Era.

So far as the question of time is con-
cerned it deserves notice hat not mere
ly geology, but almost every form of in
quiry into the past throws further back
the limits usually assigned, says the
London Telegraph.
Egypt, for instance, Is continually
furnishing fresh proofs of the antiquity
of civilization. Prof. Flinders Petrie ex-
pounded at Owens college, Manchester,
England, a few days ago the results of
recent explorations at Abydos, in Upper
Egypt, from which it appears that the
ruins at that n spot tell a continuous
story that carries us back to 5000 B. G.
Abydos was the first capital of Egypt
and remained for AS centuries the re-
ligious center. the Canterbury of the
land, and there the Egyptian explora-
ton fund has unearthed the remains of
ten successive temples, one over the
other"

dynasty, about 400 D. c., showed that

considerable scale. ard also inlaying

At about 1000 B. G. an ivory statuette
of Cheops, the builder of the great pyra-
mid, was found, the only portrait known
of him.
Making every possible allowance for
the marvellous rapidity of art develop
ment, must not many thousands of years
have rolled over between the pristine
jewellers in the Nile valley and the men
who carved ivory statuettes and manu-
featured glazed work inlaid with second

"The second, and for the moment the most potent reason grows out of the uncertainty and the violent, sudden and extreme fluctuations of the Amer ican, cotton market during the last three months. It is charged In the Ger man press that the American cotton market is at the mercy of groups and combinations of eonscienceless specu- lators. who, by their manipulations. drive prices up and down to suit their own purposes; that the Government reports as to size and quality of crop are often contradictory, untrustworthy and misleading; that in consequence of these irregularities in supply and price German manufacturers have sus- tained serious losses as we'll as fre- auent interruption and uncertainties In their business.

All these facts are made the most of by the party which advocates a vigorous pull all together for the development of cotton fields in East Africa that shall forever emancipate the spinners and weavers of the Faith erland from depending upon the Amert- can staple.
 Thus far the movement Is, of course, in its infancy. but its future may be ominous for the cotton growers of our Southern States. It is in the first place perfectly organized and ably managed under the auspices of the Colonial Ag- ricultural Comnnstee, which has its seat in Berlin and is in close touch with the Colonial Ministry.

 Washington, April 24.-The expenditures of the United States Government gre much less in proportion to population than those of many other leading nations or the world. This fact is shown by a statement just published by the Depart inent of Commerce and Labor through it's Bureau of Statistics, showing the pop ulation, revenues. expenditures, and iL- debtedpess of the principal countries of the worid~ It shows that while the ex- renciture of the United States, with so millions of people. is $40 million dollars, that of the United Kingdom. with i2 mil lions of people. sas million dollars; that of France with, many, with 5S million peo- pie. Is 6s5 million dollars; that of Germa- ny, with 5S million of people, 553 million dollars; while in practically every country aside from China and India, with enor- nous population, the per capita of Gov ernment expenditures Is greater than in the United States.
 Even ins the case of Russia, with It's population of Al million, the per capita of Government expenditure Is about the same as that of the United States. While 1t is true that a larger propor- ton of public expenditures Is borne by State and local governments in the United States than in many of the moro
 
 figures of the relative national expendl- lures of the various governments are at least interesting at the present time.
 The table puts the population of the United States at S0,372, 900, the Govern ment expenditure in 1903 at $640, 323 900, and the per capita expenditure $7.97. The per capita government expenditure of Canada Is given at s9.S0: the German Empire, $9.45; Italy. $l0.sf; Austria Hungary. S1A2T; Belgium, s114O; France. N7.s4; the United Kingdom, $21.39, and Australia, S769. Russia's annual ex- penditure is put, for the latest available year. at N.11e,0e5,ooo, as against $644. .SS3,- 600 in the United States; but the fact that Russia's population is given at III million brings the per capita expenditure to about the figure shown by the United States.
 The table of the Bureau of Statistics presenting these figures of population and government expenditures includes all countries for which data on this subject can be had. and it's aggregates show for the countries in question a total of 1.50s. s.000, ,000. and government expenditures amounting to $7,9SO,S56,- 900, with government revenues amoun- ting to $7,901, ,4Se,0O0. The table in question also shows in the case of each country the excess of revenue or expenditure in the latest available year, and in this particular the United States also presents a satisfactory showing. the excess of revenues over expenditures being greater than that of any other country, while in rtAny countries the expenditures exceed the revenues. Flo rthe latest available year the United States shows an ekcss of revenues over expenditures amounting to $5O,0O0,000, while France shows an excess of revenues amounting to only $26,000; Germany, an excess of expen- ditures over revenues amounting to $57, ,000, ,000. and the United Kingdom an excess of expenditures over revenues amounting to $16o,00o.O0
