DEALS WITH CONDITIONS
in TURKISH MISSIONS

The missionaries have administered
relief funds sent from the United
States, England and Germany, and
the regular work has gone on with
but little permanent interruption. The
government has thrown many OBJ
stacles in the way of missionary trav-
ell. Evidently orders have been sent
out into the districts from CONSTANT
nople to prevent the missionaries
from travelling in the country"
The troubles of the government in
Arabia, calling out the reserves and
increasing the taxes. have created I'M
rest among all classes. Emigration
of Armenians to the United States
is direct hindrance to the work, in
that many of the trained teachers and
Christian workers are among the num-
Der.
The conditions of the country has
driven a great many of the young
men to the United States. Several
members of the church have suffered
Imprisonment from the alleged false
charges of the Turkish government.

cabled request of the New York chief
of police, but they do not attempt to
arrest them unless the American en-
bassy itself makes the request. So
likewise the Partisan authorities turn

ing that no regular application had

that in the course of the proceedings
it was discovered by the French au-
thorities that there was absolutely no
provision in the extradition treaty for
the surrender of a person charged
with grand larceny. The treaty it
self is of ancient date, having been
made in 1S4S. and though it was made
amended in 1S45 and again in 1858,
the omission was never supplied. The
treaty with Prussia and the German
states, made in 1852, likewise fails
to include grand larceny as an extra
ditable crime

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.

Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts
Hands Pinned Decentralization
Cure by Cuticura.
When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. l think his face must have
itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a. trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-

Washington, Dec. 30.-It is probable
that steps will soon be taken by the
department of state to secure a re-
vision and remodeling of the existing
extradition treaties with France and
Germany. Recent events have drawn
attention to some very serious de-
fects in the old conventions and it
is feared that before long France and
Germany will become Ravens of
refuge for a certain class of Ameri-
can criminals.
Within the past fortnight the chief
of police of Hoboken cabled a request
to the Paris municipal authorities to
arrest and return to the United States
a man named Sasola, on the charge
of grand larceny. The French authori-
ties were surprised at this request,

bassy but from a quarter officially I'M

AFTER OIL OCTOPUS
Federal Judges Have Found Some
Sensational Evidence.
EARLY REPORT TO CONGRESS.
Standards Campaign to stihe compe-
tition in Kansas and the Territory
to be the easis-No Trouble to
Prove Conspiracy.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-"Raymond" writ
ing to the Tribune from Washington,
says:
For nearly year agents Of the
United States government have been
slowly and patiently but persistently
gathering facts and figures on which
is was hoped to base a successful
attack upon the gigantic monopoly
known as the Standard Oil Company.
Great as this organization is, the
United States government is greater,
in spite of the boast of some of the
Standard managers, and federal agents
and detectives have struck a trail
which seems at last to lead into the
heart of the famous system.
Following upon the footsteps of gov
eminent agents in Washington, Phila-
delphia, New York, and other cities,
l have learned sufficient to convince
me that during the present winter,
and possibly not long after the holt
days, there will be presented to con-

sensational than that prepared against
the beef trust, and at the same time
another report will go to the attorney
general with a suggestion that pro-
secution be instituted under the anti
trust law the interstate commerce
law, the Elkins law, and the con-
spiracy law, not only against the
Standard Oil Company and its agents
and managers, but also against all rail-
roads and subsidiary corporations by
the use of which the Standard Oil
Company has controlled the market
competitors.
The work of the special agents of
the government is not entirely con-
cluded, but nearly so. They have de-
veloped enough to startle the country.
and the paid spies of the Standard
Oil Company already have learned this
and have begun to cover up evidence
in anticipation of criminal prose-
cution by the federal government
The investigation into the affairs of
the Standard Oil Company has been
conducted by Commissioner Garfield,
of the bureau of corporations. 1t pro-
ceeds in the first place under the
authority of a special resolution of the
house of representatives, but every
step of the investigation has been
submitted not only to Mr.. Metcalf,
secretary of the department of COM
MERGE and labor, but to President
Roosevelt as WELL and both of them
have made valuable suggestions as to
the line of inquiry to be adopted.
Commissioner Garfield will not make
the same mistake he did in the beef
trust case At that time, acting under
the direction of the president and
strictly within the law, he prepared
two reports. One was for the public
and the other for congress. He gave
in detail information on the beef trust
case as he derived it from the books
of that concern. AS a matter of
course, it concerned only the prima
facie operations of the packers. 1t
told from their side how much they
invested, how much they spent for
operating expenses, but their profits
were, and in a general way what
methods of business they were pro-
ceeding under.

LESS coal WAS NsNED.
But More Accident in Indian Terri
tory Than Before.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The annual
report of the mine inspector for the
Indian Territory shows that during
the past year the coal production
there was 349.096 tons less than for
the previous year, which is attributed
to the falling off in demand owing
to many indirect influences. The to-
tai territorial output this year was
2.97O.961 tons.
The number of accidents this year
was ia of which A were fatal. There
is a considerable increase over last
year and the report says sis chiefly
due to reckless mining and lack of
precautions" The inspector suggests
legislation to regulate the hours of
shot firers. provision for adequate
maps. showing the position of old
mines and new openings, thereby pre-
venting the danger which arises when
a new mine approaches old workings
in which water has accumulated.
