SULTAN GRANTS CONCESSION
cOnrt omciaIs Favored with GIFT
They Had Not Asked from
Ruler.

CONsTATINOPLE. oct. 2T-Without be-
ing solicited the sultan has granted con-
cessions TO the minister Of justice for the
much desired electric tramway between
Scutar and KadiSeyi, important suburbs
on the Asiatic coast of the Bosphorus and
TO the son OF the Sheik al Islam for a
railway from Aleppo to the coast. Another
concession has been granted to Zekiti
Pasha, grand master Of the artillery. for
the electric lighting of Constantinople.
The sudden granting OF these much
sought after concessions to people who did
not ask for them gives rise to much COM
ment It can only be Interpreted as show
ing the sultans desire to coaciliate these
Ipersonages, especially when 1t Is rcmem-
bered that the minister of justice repre-
sents the old Turkish party and in the
council OF ministers invariably shows great
opposition to all projects for loans, con-
versions, etc The Sheik nj Islam is nat
urally the leader Of tho religious party, and
Zekki Pasha is the representative of the
military party. 1t is generally supposed
that this is the first step toward winning
over the above to assist the sultan s
scheme for altering the order of the sue
cession I'm favor of his son, Durham Eddin.

ROLLING OF SHIPS TO CEASE
German Inventor Says He Has Device
TO Make Sea VOyHGers
Comfortable.


BERLIN, oct. 27-(special Cablegram TO
The Bee. "A young German engineer, Herr
Otto Schlick, is declared to have solved the
problem which long bafied inventive
geniuses by providing a method for pre-
venting seasickness.
This consists Of an ingenious invention
for preventing a ship from rolling. Herr
Schlick's apparatus consists OF a specially
constructed turbine fixed on the ships bot
tom, which. when set i'm motion, counteracts
any tendency to roll from side to side.
Experiments took place the other day In
the presence OF the secretary OF state for
the navy, Herr Won Tirpitz, aboard an old
torpedo boat, the seebaer. which was placed
at Herr Schlicks disposal by the German
naval authorities.
The Sebaer, a little vessel Of 100 tons, put
TO sea. where the motion of the waves
ca used her to roll nine degrees. Herr
Schlick's apparatus was then set in motion,
whereupon the Seebaer rolled only one de-
gree.
Experts who witnessed the test declared
# successful. but reserved their opinion
whether the invention would be equally
applicable TO large going steamships.
In the case of the Seebaer the. favorable
result was obtained without diminishing
the ships buoyancy or seaworthfness. Herr
schliclS emphasizes The yalne of his inven-
tion to warships, enabling a surer aim.

SLAVERY AMONG PORTUGUESE

gram to The BeeD-Mr. PiCnaar, who vas
formerly a commandant with the Beers.
and subsequently, settled IN Angola, is
contributing series Of articles 20 the
Cape Times descriptive Of his experiences
In Portuguese West Africa He declares
that a system OF slavery exists in al the
Portuguese West African islands. and also
on the mainland.
Men and women are brought from the
interior shacklcd together IN some in
stances by wooden shackles, in patches OF
four, being driven like cattle for weeks IN
this position without any consideration for
age or sex They are brought in this way
to the coast where a certain formula is
gone through to legalizc this vicious trade
in human flesh. A Portuguese official gets
upon a box and reads a paper to these
poor creatures. When he has finished they
are told to say Yes He then testifcs
that he has read contract binding them
for a certain period to the islands or the
cocoa plantations for certain remunera-
tion. They then get little tin box con-
tanning q copy of the contract, which Is
tied around their necks.
This document appears to be in order
aid according to law but the cruelty ts
that the men and women do not under
stand a single word OF what Is read to
them nor is It intended that they should.
Il have had hot arguments about this
matter, and have been told that the me-
groes are free TO return to their native
country at the expiration OF their con
tract, but / am quite sure that you cannot
find half dozen who have actually re-

GOVERNMENT SELLING ICE

Privilege of Cutting from Pond I'm
MsAsachusetts Put UD to
Competition.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Oct. s7-Eight ice
cutting privileges were thrown open for
public bids by the United States govern
ment here. The privileges comprise the
entire area of water shops pond which is
practicable for the harvesting OF ice, and
the government requires that 900 tons an
nually be delivered to the government for
use in the government arsenal and shops
here.
Up to last June the government made no
Efforts to secure financial profit from its
holdings but as Investigations showed that
disposlng of government possessions not
needed for its own use was against the
ordinances, this method was stopped The
investigation was instituted largely through
the activity OF a large body Of Springfield
citizens in lighting the so-called Ice trust,
which Il was alleged, had taken the best
locations on the pond to the injury Of fair
competition AS the water shops pond is
an independent source of local ice supply.
Colonel Frank II. Phipps, commandant OF
the United States army here. opened ne
gotaitions with the War department at
Washington for the restoration Of the priv
ilegeg at the request Of the people living
here.
In taking the step. however. the govern
ment. it was pointed out, was not prompted
by any desire to oppose the so-called trust.
Brigadler General Crozier chief of ord
nance, said: I'VE have got to consider
what will be for the best interests of the

Omaha's third annual Horse Show closed
with last nights performance, having
proven a decided success. The attendance
held up well all week, and last evening it
was but little lighter than on the biggest
night of the week. While no night this
season has had quite the attendance that
Thursday last year had, yet the attendance
has been more uniform this year and the
aggregate attendance better. The same en-
thusiastic Interest was displayed at the
closing performance that has characterized
the whole week.
The only matiBee of the week was given
Saturday afternoon and low prices ruled, so
that no one had any excuse for staying
away on account Of financial considerations.
The performance was a distinct departure
from what has come to be regularly ex-
pected and it made big hit. Boys and
glrls appeared in number in both riding and
driving classes, and this was one secret OF
the matinees popular reception.
1t has b ,en the biggest success Of all
