Two Moslem Rulers.

The two chief Moslem rulers of the world
are in bad health Sultan Abdul Hamid
of Turkey Is frequently noted in the dis
patches as suffering from serious illness.
Recently he was reported to have under
gone an operation, but later dispatches de-
MED this statement Within a day or so
the rumor of his indisposition again eman-
ated from Constantinople. 1t doubtless has
some foundation in fact. The sultan Is
shortly to reach his sixty-fourth birthday.
He has never been a vigorous. hearty man
and his mode Of life and his course OF
thought have doubtless weakened his con-
stitution. Living In dread Of assassination,
he has restricted himself until he has for
years been no more than prisoner within
his own palace. He has fostered the con-
ditions which are calculated to precipitate
disease.
The Shah Of Persia is a younger man than
the Sultan of Turkey, having scored his
ifty-third year last March. But he. too
Is now reported as in a bad way having
suffered recently from an apoplectic stroke
Late events in his realm. 1t Ii believed,
have aggravated his malady and there are
now grave fears for his life.
European politicians have often specu-
lated as to the result of Abdul Hands
death. It has been claimed frequently that
his demise would be the sign for speedy
breakup OF the Turkish political sys-
tenn. inasmuch as his strong personality
has been rated as the chief factor In the
preservation of the status quo Tor many
years. But on the other hand It is asserted
that Abdul Hamid's personal influence and
his exceptional cieverness In avoiding Is
sues are not the dominant forces In a situ-
alton which IL largely controlled by the
powers to the north of him. It Is believed
that Germany. whose attitude toward the
question of the nearer east has provoked
much speculation OF late years, has secured

With aecreting rust.

JOY CHALLENGES OREsTES.
w. II. ChIIds Not satisfied That the Boston
BOat Is the Best N FOOter.

W. II. Chllds. the owner OF the 22;foot class
boat JOY. has Issued a challenge for aIrace
with the Orestes. The challenge wastissued
after the committee had selected the Soys
TO meet the 0restes In the match race and
before the Boston champion had won. Mr..
Chllds. while taking the defeat Of the Joy
In o part. demurred somewhat to the
opinion OF the committee that the Soya was
the best boat, and maintained that the JOY
had a much better record during the season.
and that after going back in her form the
JOY had got In shape again. and bv winning
two Of the trial races had shown that she
was at least as good as the Soya and her
early seasons performances stamped her as
a better boat.
II is hardly likely that the challenge will
be accepted. The 0testes was 70 meet the
best Of the class Q boats and to decide which
was the best OF the trio. Joy. Soya and Spider.
Six trial races were sailed. or these each
boat won twice. The Soya's wins were in
very heavy weather. and 1t was the opinion
Of the committee that as she had shown
herself to be the best boat in a hard blow
and had performed well in light weather
she was the safest OF the trio TO select to de-
fend the cup. The committee that made the
selection was Theodore ID. Wells, the chair
man OF the regatta committee. and eX-Com.
modore Doremus OF the Atlantic Club and
B; u x; speidel Of the Canoe Club. These
three boats very carefully before making
their selection.
IF the challenge should be accepted the
committee would be placed in a very en-
barrassing position. should the Joy win
then II would show that a mistake had been
made in selecting the Soya. land yet the con-
ditions under which the. Orestes and Joy
might meet would probably belvery different
from those that prevailed on Sat urday.
Then, too. the Orestes by making such a
match would have everything to lose and
nothing to gain. She Is. now the champion
2~2-footer in these waters land by meeting the
Joy. she would jeopardize that title. She
might win and thus gain more honors 81 land she
might lose onA fuke and then her title would
be under a cloud.
When the committee OF the Eastern Yacht
Club having in hand the trial races to select
boats to meet the Germans had made their
selection of the Vim. AUX and Caramba
there was some dissatisfaction expressed
by owners OF boats, pa rticulaTly OF the boni-
drei and Nindrtm Kid, that their boats had
not been named, and an effort was made to
get a race for a 81 900 cup for which the Vim,
Windrim Kid and Bonidrei were to race.
Commodore Park waited until he had won
the Roosevelt cup with the Vim and then
he said the Vim had been selected by the
committee after the sc yenteen boats had sailed
exhaustive trials. The Vim had in those
trials made a better record than the other
boats, and he did not see why he should take
paE in any more eve nts TO settle which was
the best OF the class. He said he would be
happy to race again next year,
