PRISONER BLAMES NATIVES
Young Turks said TO Be Responsible
for the Trouble I'm Con-

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2s.-(Specal
Cabiegram to The Rec l-Your correspon-
dent was allowed 10 have a talk with the
Armenian Arakei the concierge of the
Austrian hospital, where large store of
melinite. explosive powders. electric ap-
paratus and machines for the fabrication
of bombs was found The unfortunate
Arakel made complete confession of his
completely in formidable plan to blow up,
not the hospital, as was reported In the
beginning. but the factories of the gas
reservoirs and the German and Austrian
embassies He said that though all Is
thrown upon the AsAienia.is, yet the reve-
llutionary efforts OF the Osmanlis of Young
Turkey are more formidable.
The dynamite which was found at the
Hotel Kroeker. near the British embassy,
was destined TO blow up the latter soon
after the return of the latter from his
summer residence. This was planned, how
ever not by Armenians, but by Moslems
belonging to the revolutionary party of
Young Turkey.
The prisons being over-filled at the pres
ent time and the process of judgment being
exceedingly slow the authorities are anX-
ious to make room for new prisoners as
quickly as possible and speedy execution
by hanging, wholesale, without proper in
vestigation seems to the Turkish officials
the easiest method of obtaining this end.

CHINESE CooLIE SCANDAL
British Politics May Re Affected by
Action of Miners in the
TraDsvaaI.

LONDON, Oct 2s.--(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-The Chinese labor scandal has
now reached proportions which defy all of
Mr. Lyttleton's art OF concealment or
mitigation The Daily Mail has been pub
fishing special dispatches from johannes
burg under the significant title of Chin
chuses on the Rand" The Chinchuses are
the brigand bands which roam over Man
churia numbering and lootng whenever
they are able. The Chinese laborers are
now deserving in large numbers from the
mines, and have created a reign of terror
In the Transvaal. To them robbery. out
rage and murder come as second nature
and In fact they are quite unable to see
anything reprehensible in such crimes
Bands ranging from four or five to twenty
are scattered around the country, and the
Boer farmers dare not leave their houses
and their families unprotected even to fol-
low their avocations on the farms.
Great credit is due TO the Morning Leader
for the courage and the determination with
which 1t has devoted its columns to ex-
posing the horrors of Chinese slavery
Since the ordinance came into operation
most of the English papers have been COM
PEELED to rely upon the regular news. gath
ering agencies but the Morning Leaders
johannesburg correspondent, Mr.. F. c.
Boland. has kept his readers regularly in
formed regarding the horrible results of
the Introduction of Chinese slavery. 1t
would be a libel on the Chinese to regard
these coolies as average representatives of
the Chinese race They are the sweepings
of the Chinese prisons, the criminal classes
who have been recruited to work in the
mines. Every day brings forth some fresh
atrocity hands. either IN the compounds or
in the veldt. The Daily Mail correspondent
suggests that the men We're inveigled into
the services of the Rand mine owners by
false pretenses. They were not informed
that gold mining In the TIansvaal is car
ried on a thousand feet under the surface,
and they object TO work under such condi-
lions: hence the desertions which have be-
come a menace to the security of life and
proaerty.

BANKRUPTCY LAW IN EGYPT
Natives Find Easy way to Get Rich
at the Expense of Their
Creditors.

ALEXANDRIA. oct 2S.--(spccial Cable
gram to the Bee Amy one who has fol-
lowed closely the laws enacted during re-
cent years in Egypt cannot fail to notice
In them the lack OF business foresight.
There is one law at least which never fails
to give rise to grave complaints on all
sides which since it's birth has been the
cause Of great dissatisfaction. This is the
now famous law on the "Concordat Pre-
ventif The measure appears to have
taken its origin from the French law OF
March 4. 1889 on the Liquidation Judi
claire and imperfect as this law has been
pronounced TO be, the Egyptian law on the
Concordat Preventif is very much worse.
One marked consequence Of the law is That
the number Of failures has decreased and
number Of persons admitted to the benefit
OF the "Concordat Preventif'' has been
steadily on the increase.
To the Egyptian legislatures It seemed
that the time had come to admit that in
Egypt there were merchants and traders
who, through misfortunes altogether inde-
pendent Of any fault of theirs, had fallen
into commercial trouble. But the legislator
apparently lost sight Of the fact that At
least half Of these worthy merchants whose
ways of trading and OF ideas Of CONNER
cial order were but little known to him.
IL was not realized that the social opobrium
from which the ''concordant prcventif"
was intended to save the unfortunate and
innocent traders was Of no great moment
to the native merchant; bankruptcy. in
deed. has not the same moral and social
consequences. even to a European in Egypt
that it has in other countries. Thus the
reason which led to the enactment Cf the
French law on the ''liduldation iudiclaire"
did not seem to exist in Egypt and In fact
what Egypt required was more stringent
and severe laws dealing with failure and
bankruptcies, and not law which afforded
wider field than existed before to uu-
scrupulous merchants and their creditors
for fraudulent measures 20 the detriment
Of honest traders.
The results of the Bankruptcy law in
Egypt indicates that the law has become
the most convenient means whereby man
may enrich himself Many circumstances
combine to show the absence Of good faith
on the part of the debtor which, however
falls short Of fraudulent bankruptcy.
