SAYS: GEhOUTl"
John Bull Hands an UItimatum to the
Sultan.

London, Ma 4.-The British ambas-
sador at Constantinople yesterday pre-
sented a lote to Turkey demanding the
complete withdrawal of Turkish troops
from Egyptian territory The note is
practically an ultimatum and consti-
tutes Great Britain's last word of the
eneroachment of Turkey in the Sinaitic
peninsula. The French and Russian
ambassadors at Constantinople support
ed the British contentious.
Should the ultimatum fail to have
the desired effect the British Mediter-
raneal feet will take the measure so
often employed by the powers in recent
years as the result OF disputes with the
sultan and naval demonstration, it is
anticipated, will quickly bring about
the evacuation of the Tabah territory
which Great Britain contends is un-
questionably Egyptian territory.
The sultan was given ten days in
which to comply with the broad de-
mand for the withdrawal of his troops
from the Tahas and other points on
the Sinai peninsula pending the de-
limitation of the frontier by a COM
mission.

He then turned his face toward the front and walked forward as he tied on his apron.
 Dan Brown. the colored driver of an express wagon. was standing at the stove few feet to the rear of the saloon. He saw Moore take the gun. sxamine it. place it to his right ear and adjust it carefully. looking in the bar mirror all the while to see the accuracy of the adjustment Moore pulled the trigger and fell backward, the big six-shooter bullet passing through his head emerging on the left side through his temple and shattering he west corner of the mirror on the other side of the room. The bullet was later picked up from the floor Moore lay as he had fallen in rap idly widening and deepening pool of blood, the only movement observable being convulsiye movements of the neck and face.

 Justice Mcdonald was on the scene in few minutes after the shot was fired. He took charge of the dead mans papers and found his name in . notebook with two checks. one fer s75.00 on the First National bank of Douglas and the other for a less amount on a Caranca bank.

HORSES STAMPEDE AT SEA.
MilIion-DoIIar Herd Raises a Ruction
Coming from Europe.

If any vessel ever arrived at Hobo
ken with a more remarkable series OF
adventures than those accredited to the
st. Andrew after that sober plodder
of the Phoenix line had reached her
Hoboken pier, residents of Hoboken
want to know. And such of the ma
rine reporters as come from Missouri
want TO be shown.
The st. Andrew brought to port an
important shipment of horses con-
signed to western stock farms. There
is no doubt as to that. The horses
were there, many of them, and many,
too heard of the value Of the ship
ment-$1 ,000, 900 in all, was it? Amid
the thunder of waves this herd was
stampeded, and a reckless, daring
cowboy crew roped and flung the ter
rifief Percherons and brought them
back to their stalls. This, runs the
account, came about on the night of
August 8. 1t was a terrifying strug-
gle, and when the casualties were
counted it was found that one deck

It would puzzle sailormen to tell
what hind truck of main mast
is, but there must be something of the
kind And there must also be sea ser

writer that on August Capt. Spiel

We have learned then that we can't

bit better.
There is not one single little stone
we can clear from before their feet, be

yearning hearts we see them making
the mistakes we could teach them to
avoid if they would only listen.
We see them going through one ex-

ago, repeating all the worldworn mis-

all the mistakes of the mothers 1t is
very hard to sit in silence when you see
them doing all the things that you did

We watch our children lose them

contrary, is showing healthy natural
increase in captivity.
This is excellent news. even for those
