Turkish Troops Move Thru Syria
and May Surprise With
Resistance.

London, May. 5.-As- the Morning
Post says today, the. attitude Of the
Turkish government with regard to the
frontier between Syria and Egypt, con-;
tinues to- be unintelEgible.; The Porte
has made its case worse by removing
the northern boundary pillars at Rafah
on the Mediterranean; thus violating
Egg ptian, territory proper. rEsEs 80.
This second boundary question must
be distinguished from that of Tabah,
which is on the Gulf Of Akabah and
within the administrative district Of
Tor. Sinai. The province of Sinai was
granted to- Egypt by the frman Of
1892, a frman which, apparently, the
sultan now claims the power to revoke.
But Rafah,: near Ell Arish, has always
historically belonged to the khedivate
of England, so that any aggression here
cannot plausibly be defended.
!! No one has the key to the sultan IS
present policy, unsupported as he is
by tanya European power. The whole
question is perplexing, including the
prosedllrs afs Dnr ewn government. On
TQesdaY,sH Lord Fitzmauriceas statement
in he-sheuR idf lords, tho firm, was con-
ciliatory, while on Wednesday morning
the cabinet was drafting what is prac-
tically an ultimatum.
It looks as if the cruiser Minerva,
returning to- Port Said, might have
brought more serious news than yet
known. The sultan is moving troops
down thru Syria and may surprise the
British by offering serious resistance.

operate the docks along Lake Erie. This

will be tried after this experiment has

In Cleveland and Lorain and Huron,
the 'longshoremen have been staying
away from the docks. The mates claim
to have 90 per cent Of the men now
employed on the lakes. Since there are
a bout 1000 mates this would mean that
the strength of the organization is ap-
'proximately 1900. The initiation fees
under these circumstances would be

Washington, May 5.-A physical en-
counter is threatened between Senators
Tillman and Penrose. Bad blood ex-
lists and all kinds of trouble is among
the probabilities. Each has served no.
tice that he will ''expose" the other,
and active preparations are being made
for the next scene in the little tragedy
of senatorial courtesy.
The nomination of Benjamin Z.
Barnes to be postmaster here, and the
incidental discussions of the Norris ele-
ment incident in connection with it,
are basic points Of the Tillman-Penrose
feud has been originated. The acute
stage was reached when Mr.. Penrose
strenuously sought to fix a time for
voting ON the nomination of Mr.. Barnes.
Mr.. Tillman vigorously objected and
persisted in his opposition. Mr.. Pen.
rose said the South Caroi1nan must
yield in his stubbornness. g.
"Well, you know that am some
thing of mule.' shouted Mr.. Tillman.
s'I thought it was worse than thai"
replied Mr.. Penrosee s. Everybody ap-
pears to realize that you are an ass.''
Mr.. ,Tillman rapidly advanced in this
direction of Mr.. Penrose, and it seemed
for a minute that violence would be
done on the floor of the senate in ex-
ecutive session. But Mr.. Tillman
changed his mind and said t. that he
would produce some things damaging to
Mr.. Penrose and lay them before the
| senate either in secret or open session.
