ALMOST DISASTROUS END.

TACOMA, August l4.-In race be-
tween the steamers Burton and Vashon
last night from Tacoma to Quartermas-
ter Harbor, the Vashon passed the Bur-
ton six miles out. Passengers aboard
the Vashon say the Burton turned to
port directly toward her rival and ram
med her on the starboard side. There
was much excitement aboard the Vashon
which carried the Orpheus Club and
guests, 100 in all, to their annual clam
bake. A rush was made for life
preservers. Water rushed over the
vashon's deck and flooded the engine
pit. 1t was soon seen the Vashon was
not seriously damaged, and she pro-
ceeded.

TURKEY md EMBASSY.
Minister Chekib Beg Says Country
Desires to Haze Legation Raised.

Washington July 1O-Chekib Bey, the Turk
ish Minister to this country. stated to-day that
no instructions had been received by him from
his government to delay the steps taken for the
elevation Of the American legation at Constan-
tinople to an embassy. My government IS as
desirous to be adequately represented through
an embassy at Washington as is the United
States through an embassy at COnstantinopie,
he said. The question has long been pending.
and Turkey has previously signiied her willing
ness to take the step whenever financial and
other conditions enabled her to do so. Both
countries should move simultaneously in the
matter, subsequent to a definite agreement IL
any question has arisen at COnstantinOple. the
last reason to be ascribed for any delay should
be any indisposition on the part Of my govern
ment to cultivate the friendship and good will
Of the United States. Turkey IS eager 70 dWeN

here to the status Of an embassy.
It appears that when the Turkish government
was first informed that the United States desired
to effect the change Chekib Bey was ordered to
oppose the project, but replied that he was Un-

negotiations for the formation Of a Constitu-
tional Democratic ministry NJ Mouromtsef
president Of the lower house, and Ivan Petrunke-
Witch are also mentioned, but are regarded with
less favor
The bill of the lower house of parliament pro
viding for the abolition Of the death penalty was
taken up to-day in the upper house which was
crowded All the ministers were in attendance
and the galleries were thronged many members
OF the lower house being among those present.
Up to recess time voice had been raised in
favor of capital punishment, all the speakers
urging its elimination as relic Of barbarism. as
having inappreciable effect in restraining
crime, and as opposed to the whole theory Of the
Russian code, with its otherwise mild punish
ments Even former Senator 'ragantsof. who
a member OF the old Council Of Ministers, held
this view, and urged the passage of the bill, with
the sole qualification that it should not be ap-
plicable to the army navy, for which. accord
ing to the fundamental law, parliament had
right TO legislate.
The former Minister OF Commerce. NJ Tim
iriazeh, favored the same compromise, TO which,
according to figures furnished the press, sixty
members Of the Centre party have already been
converted, while fifteen opposed to any
ton on the measure. After the general debate
the bill probably will be referred to a committee.
The lower house has abandoned its morning
sessions, and hereafter will sit from to
O'Clock in the evening.
NJ. KoHlissaron. the official IN charge of the
press on which the provocative Black Hundred
publications were printed in the Office of the
chief Of police, has been dismissed.

MAIL ORDER SUSPENDED.
E. G. Lewis Can Now Receive Letters and
Money Orders

Washington July 1O.-Postuaster General
Cortelyou to-day suspended his order Of July g.
1905, to the postmaster Of St Louis forbidding
the delivery Of mail and the payment Of money
orders to the Peoples United States Bank its
officers and agents and E. G. Lewis. so far as it
affects E. G. Lewis personally. This suspen-
sion, said the Postmaster General in a public
statement was upon the clear understanding
that the resumption Of the use by Mr.. Lewis OF
his name for the purpose of reviving the Peo-
pies United States Bank would be deemed suffi-
cient ground for revoxing the order of suspen-
sion and putting the order OF 1895 in all respects
again in force In his statement the Postmaster
General says the operations of the bank are un-
derstood to be at an end. and the concern is
practically out OF existence

PAUPERS IN POPULATION.
Proportion Decreasing Immigrants
DO Not Drift to AImshOuses.

Washington, July 10.-AccOrding to a report
issued by the census bureau to-day. there were
in the United States in 1904. 1916 persons in
almshouses. and Of these Hist were males.
Although the number Of almshouse paupers is
the growth OF population, and consequently the
ratio OF almshouse paupers to population is de-
creasing. In 1880 it was 1S2 for 100000 of pop
uIation; 1t decreased to 1T in $780, and to 1O1
in 1908.
While paUperism is less prevalent among
women than among men the chief distinction
between the two sexes seems to be that women,
having once entered an almshouse. are there per-
manently, while men are 70 large extent only
winter boarders. Negro paupers do not consti-
tute so large proportion Of the almshouse pop
ulation as Negroes form Of the general poDula-
ton
The foreign born whites. whose economic posi-
ton is not so high, show a greater tendency
toward pauperism than the native whites Of
native parentage and native whites of foreign
parentage.
Commenting this fact. the report says:
There is however no reason to believe that
many immigrants drift into almshOuses soon
after their arrival In the United States. for only
had been in this country less than fve years
Among the different nationalitieS OF foreign born
whites the degree Of thrift, combined with racial
characteristics, seems TO determine in large part
the tendency toward pauperism.

DISGUSTING METHODS IN LONDON.
Filthy Jam Factories, Bakeries and Sausage
Making Shops.

London July 1O.-The annual report Of the
inspector of factories and workshops. made pub
lie to-day, shows that the conditions here are as
revolving as anything alleged Of Chicago Dirty
factories and disgusting methods seem to be
the rule instead of the exception Jam factories,
bakeries and sausage making shops are all CEN
sured as being equally filthy and the descrip-
ton Of one fits most of the others. Here is the
report on a typical jam factory:
The boiling room lay between the yard and the
stable, and the horses reached the latter through
the boiling room. The sanitary accommodation
was hardly separated from the rooms where the
fresh fruit and uncovered jam were kept, and
the floors were dirty and undrained.
Another factory inspector found jam pots
being washed in liquid like dark soup, which
snelled abominably.' The manager informed
the inspector that the water was changed about
once week" When hshed out of these evil
smelling tanks the pots allowed to stand
until dry. when they were considered ready to
receive fresh instalments Of preserves.
Inspectors of bakeries found that IT was a fire.
Guent custom to battle the children in them after
the close of work on Saturdays, while the fam

Washington July 10.-Pubic Printer StiIlings
made a statement to-day for the Senate Com
mittee Printing in connection with the COM
mittee's investigation Of the cause Of the delay
in the enrolment Of bills on the last day Of the
recent session Of Congress. In his statement he
made the claim that the delay was in no wise
attributable to his Office. In support Of this con-
tention he quoted the House enrolling clerk as
having assumed what blame there was, but said
that that official had told the House managers
in advance that owing to the volume Of business
adjournment early in the day would be an i'm
possibility Mr. Stillings declared that the print

and had never done its work more expeditiously
than during the last session, contending that
