spondent or take pity" on the news
paper man and give him material for
a good dispatch on state affairs. The
wording of the message was rather un-
fortunate, as it seemed to bring in
question the integrity tad reliability
OF each member Of the cabinet, and
also reflected upon newspaper CORE
spondents as being beggars for news
papers instead Of demanding it as a
right and in the interest Of the public.
He also restricted the cabinet officers
in this message to giving departmental
news to the press associations, there
by practically ruling special CORE
spOndents out of business.
1t is known that this letter was die
tated because the press associations
had complained that while they OBJ
served the presidential Injunction re-
garding the publication of cabinet
news, the special correspondents would
see cabinet officers and have more and
fuller dispatches on the same subject.
So primarily the letter was intended
to protect the press associations. It is
safe to say that had George B. Cortel-
you been secretary to the president in
stead of William Loeb, Jr, this letter
would have never reached the cabinet
IN its present shape. Mr.. Cortelyou is
tactful and observing Individual, and
he would have seen in a moment the
offensive parts of this communication
and would have toned them down into
diplomatic language. Mr.. Loeb is a
stenographer by profession and felt
compelled to transcribe accurately the
exact language the president used in
dictation.

days were allowed for the shipment to

ident Dias cut down the duty from the
United States to about one third the
figure until Jan. /. and arrangements
were at once made with grain men in
the northern states OF this country to
ship IN some SO carloads by that time.
There has been considerable appre-
hension among the freight men that d.
vision superntendents along the diff
ferent lines might not understand the
situation sufficiently to push the ship
ment through, as wheat is time freight
on general principles. and IT was found
necessary TO issue special instructions
TO the sub-oficials TO be wide awake
and see that the shipments got through
on time, as at midnight next Sunday,
the regular rates are to be restored. A

that he is being robbed right and left
by his greedy and dishonest collectors,
and he has more than once made up his
mind TO institute some sort OF reform
on his own account. A year ago a pri-
vate syndicate submitted a plan which
met his approval, but 1t was combated
by the OFT man bank with such force
that Il was rejected. Abdul Hamid Is
anxious for reform In this particular.
The sultan regards the present atti-
tudc OF the powers as a direct attack
upon his sovereignty. a notice TO relin-
qulsh his European holdings and be-
take himself to Asia. This, Of course,
he Is not anxious to do. Owing 10 many

strengthened greatly within the past
few years. For the first time In thirty
