To Succeed the Sultan.

Anticipating death sooner or later, he has
named his third son as his successor in
violation of law and precedent which re-
quire that the eldest member of the family
shall occupy the throne. If this law were
obeyed the sultan's successor would be his
brother Mohammed, who is now practically
prisoner in one of the imperial palaces on
the Bosporus, but he is suspected of liberal
tendencies, and Abdul Hamid will not per-
NIT him to ascend the throne. Nor will he
permit his eldest son to succeed him, al

Bulgaria and Turkey Hostile.
There is likely to be war between Bull
garia and Turkey at any time, but 1t must
be declared by Bulgaria. The Turks regard
that kingdom a part of their empire.
They have never acknowledged its indie
pendence, and under the treaty of Berlin in
1878 Bulgaria should pay tribute to the
sultan, but has refused to do so 7 g good
many years. Prince Ferdinand, the ruler
of Bulgaria. has been recently in confer
ence with the Emperor of Austria and the
King Of England. which certain people con-
sidered a matter of significan e. but he is
only a fgurehead. He has very little to do
with his own government and very little to
say concerning its politics.

Working in Harmony.


All of these organizations, which until
recently have shown more or less rivalry,
are now working together and in harmony.
They have tried in vain to remove" Abdul
Hamid; they have instigated numerous
revolutions and uprisings at cost Of thou
sands Of precious lives, but have accom-
pished nothing, except to increase the
weight of the yoke their people are COM
PEELED to bear They have decided, after
repeated joint conferences, to change their
policy, to build up a party of freedom in
Turkey for future usefulness, and to an
ticipate the death of Abdul-Hamid by Sc
curing liberal man as his successor with
the support of the army, the merchants and
other strong interests.
The car sultan cannot live much longer.
He is believed to be very sick man. His
nervous system is practically in a state of
collapse, and he keeps himself up by the
excessive use of strong coffee He is also
troubled with gallstones and will not con-
sent to an operation for their removal. He
will not even allow the doctors to make a
thorough examination. Eminent physicians
from Vienna make periodical visits to
Yildz Kiosk, and are keeping him alive, but
they are not permitted to disclose his ac-
tual condition, and nobody else knows
what 1t is.

POLICE JUDGES STILL
HUNTING FOR QUARTERS
Election Booths Found Unsuitable
and 1t Is Suggested to Erect
Temporary Building.

The plan to utilize two voting booths,
to be located adjoining the Offices of
the Board of Education at Pine and
Larkin Streets for police courts has
been abandoned, as it was found, that
the booths were utterly inadequate in
the matter of space and convenience
for the purpose. Supervisor Nicholas,
chairman of the building committee of
the Board Of Supervisors, is consider
ing scheme to erect building on the
same ground suitable for the courts,
which could be utilized for some other
purpose after the courts are removed
to the new Hall of Justice on Eddy
street. Meantime Judge Mogan will
continue to hold court at the O'Farrell
Street station, but Judge Shortall is
undecided what to do.
1t was expected that the new Hall
of Justice on Eddy street would be
ready for occupancy about the begin
ming Of August, but owing to the diff
fculty in procuring men and material
Chief Oman will. consider himself for
tunate if he obtains possession of the
building within the next three months.
Meantime he will remain in his pres

POLICE DO NOT BELIEVE
CUNNINGHAM WAS MURDERED
Advance Theory That He Received Fa-
tai Injuries by Falling on Rail-
road Track.

After making an incomplete investi-
cation of the affair. the police are in
clined to believe that George Cunning
ham, the coIored marine cook who was
found fatally injured on Steuart street,
between Mission and Market, Saturday
morning, and who died a few hours
later, was not the victim of a murder
Gus attack, but that he was injured by
falling on the railway track. 1t does
not seem reasonable to the detectives
that an assault would be made on a
man in an open street at busy time of
day.
1t was reported at first that Cunning
ham withdrew from the Marine Cooks
and Walters Union in 1904, but his wife
stated yesterday that he never with
drew from the union, but simply let
his dues run without being paid. From
a letter received from Cunningham re-
Gently by w. B. Swears, a shipping
agent. it was indicated that he was
afraid that somebody was trying to
mob him.
The police have discovered the name
of a man who, they believe, was pres
ent when Cunningham received his in
juries, and he Will be interviewed to-
day
Cunningham was born in the West
indies in 1851, and came to San Fran
cisco in 1886 His wife lives in Fruit
vale and Is employed in cannery.

SOLDIERS IN RIOT
NEAR PRESIDE.
Two Men Badly Beaten
as Result of a Crap
Game In Vacant Lot
GUARD IS CALLED

A free-for-all fight occurred near the
Greenwich street entrance to the Pre-
sidio about o'clock yesterday after
noon AS result of the fracas Rri-
vate Joseph Ross of the One Hundred
and Fifth Company of coast artillery
lies in the General Hospital with a
fracture of the skull and Private Pope
of the same company is in the com
pany's quarters badly bruised and
beaten. Seven civilians and five SOL
diers, who were supposed to be in
volved in the fight. were arrested and
placed in the guardhouse at the Pre-
sidio
The fight was started over a crap
game which was being operated in a
vacant lot outside the reservation. Both
Ross and Pope had been drinking and
were heavy losers in the game. Sud-
denly Pope took effense at Ross and
the fight started. After a few blows
had been struck the men decided that,
being members of the same company,
they ought to be friends and they went
back to the game. The crowd began
to jeer the soldiers and brand them as
towards for not fighting to a finish.
Ross then attempted to leave the
crowd, but before he had gone far he
was felled by a rock thrown by some
one in the crowd. A general mix-up
followed, and when Sergeant Peter c..
Schmitt arrived with the guard from
the Greenwich street entrance to the
Preside he found both Ross and Pope
lying on the ground bleeding badly
from their wounds. Pope was soon
able to return to his barracks, but Ross
was taken to the General Hospital un-
conscious and may die as the result of
his wounds.
The sergeant then rounded up seven
civilians and five soldiers supposed to
be in the fight and sent them to the
post guardhouse to await further de-
velopments. The soldiers will probably
be tried by a general court martial
The civilians will be turned over to the
city police and charged with disturb
ing the peace.
AS soon as the officer of the day
heard of the fight he ordered out the
guard from the main guardhouse and
instructed them to arrest every drunk,
both civilian and soldiers. caught near
the Greenwich street entrance. 1t was
also decided that the guard should pa
troll the neighborhood every afternoon
and evening and arrest all suspicious
character whether they be civilian or
soldier.
