japan at the Golden Horn

By a telegram from Constantinople We
learn that the Toxic Government is seek
ing to establish diplomatic relations with
the Ottoman Empire. 1t wishes to main
tain a permanent embassy at the Sultan's
capital. Thus far the Sultan has with
held his consent to the proposal, partly,
it is rumored, owing 10 the unavowed
opposition of Russia, which Power, until
a cordial understanding was lately
reached with Great Britain, naturally
would not desire to see the latter
try's influence in Turkey strengthened.
We presume that Russia has now with
drawn her former objection, but En-
peror WILLIAM, who is known to have
great influence over Sultan ABDUL
HAND, is believed TO be dissuading him
from granting the recognition requested
by Japan.
A feeling OF self-respect may also dis
incline the Sultan to place a Japanese
Ambassador on the same footing with
that occupied by representatives of the
other great Powers. Japan, of course,
would expect her envoy to enjoy the
privileges Of the so-called "capitulations 4"
OF regime OF exterritoriality, which in
wolves not only the maintenance Of con-
sular courts but a certain measu Of
control Of Turkeys internal affairs, in
Guiding missions and schools. The Turk
ish sovereign has long smarted under the
necessity Of submitting to the regime Of
exterritoriality, and his pride doubtless
revolts at conceding such privileges to a
country which forty years ago was alb
solutely a stranger to European civiliza-
ton. 1t will be remembered that only a
few years have elapsed since Japan sue
ceeded in emancipating herself from the
same regime, thanks mainly to the good
will Of the United States and Great Brit
ain, which by consenting to Japan's
request set an example for the other
treaty Powers.
We have no doubt that the Mikado's
demand that he be represented by an
| Ambassador at Constantinople and enjoy
the privileges incident to the regime Of
exterritoriality will be supported not
only by the United States and Great
Britain but also by France, in view OF
| the impending agreement between that
country and Japan. AS there is no
longer any a why Russia should not
be arrayed on the same side, the pres
sure brought to bear upon the Sultan
will probably be too great for the Ger
man Emperor to resist.

Oklahoma.

In Section 3 Of Article ". OF the Con-
stitution of the United States the authors
Of that instrument made provision for
the admission Of new States into that
more perfect union" they were plan
ming thus:
New States may be admitted by the Congress
into this Union"
On June IS, 1905, the President Of the
United States, a member Of the Repub-
lican party, approved a n act of Congress,
in each house Of which the Republican
party had a substantial majority, pro-
yiding for the admission Of the State OF
Oklahoma, to be formed by union Of
the Territory of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. This act permitted the citi-
zens of the Territories TO elect delegates
TO a, convention to draw UP a Consti-
tuition for. the new State. Congress
required that this Constitution should
provide for;
Perfect federation OF religious sentiment
Prohibition of trannc in alcoholic liquors for a
period OF twenty one years In the parts OF the State
now known as Indian Territory. the ossge Indian
Reservation and in othor parts OF the State which
existed as Indian reservations on January l.. 1905.
Prohibition OF polysamous and plural mar.
nages.
Release OF the public lands within the State 10
the United States.
Payment OF the debts Of the Territory Of Okla
homs by the State OF Oklahoma.
Establishment OF public schools, allowing sepa-
rate schools for white and negro children.
The hight Of franchise unrestricted on account
OF race. color or previous condition OF sery1tude.-
The enabling act provides that the
| Constitution proposed by the convention
shall be submitted TO the people and that
the result Of their voting thereon shah
be certified to the President Of the United
States:
And II the Constitution and Government OF said
proposed State are republican In form, and II the
provisions OF this act have been complied with in
the formation thereof. it shan be the duty of the
President Of the United States. within twenty

Under authority Of this act the people
Of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
elected Ito delegates 20 a constitutional

rHE NEW Il HUNT.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Bureau OF
Corporations is now on the trail OF the lum-
Der trust. 1t is not definitely known that
there is such a creature. but there are varl-
Gus signs which seem 70 Indicate its exist
ence. The mantle OF Garfield has fallen
on Smith and he Is known to be as relent-
less toward all forms Of trusts as he Is dill
gent In his pursuit of them. II he brings
in the scalp Of this particular institution ne
will stand an excellent chance of becoming
the idol Of all the trust loathers in the COM
munity.
So far as an actual entity is involved it
il practically certain that there is no ium-
Der trust. 1t certainly is not incorporated.
There are trade associations, such as the
Hemlock Association, the White Pine Asso-
citation, and others composed OF producers
Of and dealers in other lines OF lumber
Among these various groups there appears
to be a more or less definite afhliation n
cooperation. The price OF all lumber has
advanced enormously within recent years
and the advance in the price OF different
kinds Of lumber is practically uniform
throughout the country. The assumption
is that this advance is directed and COM
trolled by some central agency employing
methods which will bring 1t within the pro-
visions OF the Sherman act.
The price OF lumber. speaking generally
has doubled within the last ten or twelve
years. 1t is claimed that the increase in the
value OF "stumpage,' in wage rates and the
cost OF distribution Is not sufficient to war
rant the great advance in lumber prices
This is as it may be, and it is we'll to have
the facts determined. II. however, the
bureau begins it's work with the hypothe-
sis reported in the news accounts OF the
enterprise, 1t is more than likely to get what
is technically known as an eye opener
when it gets into close grip with the men
who make sawdust. The statement Is made
that lumber which sells at S45 to S4S a
thousand feet costs only $40 for its produc"
ton and distribution. II a start is made
from that point it is quite certain that the
steps taken will AVE TO be retraced and a
beginning made in some other direction.
This holds for two reasons: First, 1t Is no
at all probable that any such profit is made
and second, it Is not q question OF the per-
centage Of profit made, but the exaction OF
unreasonable profit by means OF practi-
cally m~onopolistio combination. Only in
the case OF public or semi-publio corpora
tions is there as yet any attempt at Fed
eral restriction OF profits.
The peculiarities Of this case or chase are
such as to make it one Of the most interest
ing and perhaps one Of the most important
in all the experience OF trust busting

Some persons express surprise hat we
have heard 80 little of the results Of Captain
AMUNDsEN's magnetic work in the Arctic,
as his main purpose was to locate them mag
netic pole and study the phenomena Of ter
~restrial magnetism in that region. AMUND-
SEN told Us when he wss here that he could
say little about this part Of his work until
his observations were reduced.
Captain CREAK. the leading British au-
thority on terrestrial magnetism, sheds a
little more light than AMUNDsEN on the
work involved in reducing the observations.
He says that AMUNDsEN's magnetic instru-
ments were at work every minute for nine
teen months, and they have recorded for
every moment of the time the direction OF
the needle and the changes in the forces
directing it. In his opinion AMUNDsEN
has made a splendid collection Of data,
and though it will take years TO get into
form the observations, enormous in volume,
Captain CREAK is confident that we shall
learn at last where the magnetic pole is and
just what is going On there.
1t remains TO be proved whether the mag
netic pole is a fixed point or whether its
location shifts, as AMUNDsEN is inclined TO
think. It is believed that his observations
may solve this question.

Of radical provisions. In its articles are
included all Of the prohibitions and re-
strictions laid down by Congress. 1t
contains also an apportionment of the
State into legislative districts that will
assure Democratic control Of the Legis-
lature unless a political revolution casts
that party from control.
The Constitution, including the gerry
mander, will be submitted to the people
at a special election to be held on August
9, and there is no reason TO believe 1t
will be rejected. The outlook does not
please the Republicans, who had counted
On controlling the new State. They
know that the State viii send two Demo-
Gratis to the United States Senate, They
fear that some OF it's five Representatives
in Congress may be OF the Democratic
faith; and they are afraid that in 1908
its seven Electors Of President and Vice
President may come from the same party.
Hence terror and wailing and an appeal
to the President to refuse 20 issue his
proclamation announcing the result OF
the election OF August G.
From Washington come reports that
the President is looking a~nxiously for
an excuse to oblige these fearful patriots.
He is examining the work Of the consti-
tutional convention infinitely. He is
searching for errors Of procedure, sins
Of omission, violations of the letter and
spirit Of the enabling act and of the Fed
eral Constitution. 1t was thought that a
section prohibiting officers, soldiers and
marines Of the regular army and navy
from voting in the State would serve
as an excuse for the invalidation OF the
Constitution, but the reading Of other
State Constitutions Knocked the props
from under this hope. 1t was asserted
that the restrictions on the right to tax
would prevent the public schools from
being open more than five months in each
year, and the President is asked to de-
clare the Constitution unrepublican be-
cause OF this. 1t is likewise proposed
that the President withhold his procla-
nation on the ground that the State had
been gerrymandered, a proposition to
which all good New York Republicans
must give hearty support.
In June the Republicans of the pro-
posed State are to hold a convention and
Secretary TAFT is to tell them what the
Presidents plans are. By that time a
| good reason for refusing to make the
proclamation required BY the enabling
act may be found, Perhaps Oklahoma
will be kept out because its un%republican
nature is convincingly demonstrated by
the predominance of Democrats among
its citizens.

by the gratifying story that comes from
Washington to the effect that In accord
ance with true civil service principles
SANDERS may be- succeeded by som
one in the Federal service in New York
name not given; but with the Presidents
well known adherence to those princi-
pies, who can doubt it?
Mssawk!le, the muteness OF the Gov
ernor Of New York, an office Mr.. RoosE-
WELT has filled and knows all about, is
getting on the Presidents nerves more
and more every day because the Presi-
dent is not in the habit Of doing things
for people without expecting them to be
appreciated, In spite Of this GOODNESS,
or indifference-the fact is the word
should be ingratitude-on the part OF
Governor HUGHES, he could have his own
man appointed to succeed SANDERS If he
would only speak. Evidently the Gov
ernor is not a practical mar like the
President. Actually he seems TO desire
no understanding or alliance with the
President, which Is almost base when 1t
is known that the President thought
kindly enough Of the Governor to place
him on his list Of eligibles for President
and latterly had almost decided to have
him nominated for Vice-President. OF
course the Governors treatment Of him
is abrading the good nature and exhaust
ing the patience Of the President. He is
human like the rest of US, and has the
same sensibilities and self-esteem.
There has seldom been such an Z
hibition of unsplendid isolation and
dense ingratitude as that Of Governor
HUGHES. He can probably win back
the good will and admiration Of the Pres
ident only by passing all his reform
measures and becoming really impor-
tant and logical as a candidate for the
White House.

Marion Butler,s Discoveries.

The Hon. MARION BUTLER, once a
Populist Senator from North Carolina,
seems TO be a detective OF unusual powers
OF ratiocination. He has found traces
in the Tar Heel State Of that IS, 200, 900
conspiracy the revelation OF which
in a moment OF supposedly alcoholic
confidence made such a hullabaloo at
Washington. Cynios have regarded the
conspiracy as a legend, a myth or a
mystifcation, but surely such a display
OF official thunder and lightning would
not have followed il the powers Of dark
ness had not been really caught in the
act Of plotting against JUPITER ToNANs.
Mr.. BUTLER, whose ~reticence and habit
Of understatement are OF the genuine
populist sort, has nabbed a receiver OF
some part of the IS, 900, 900, He says that
a MI. ADAMS, chairman OF the North
Carolina Republican State committee,
"confesses in effect that he belongs to the
s. 5000, 1000 conspiracy and is using money
in opposition TO the Roosevelt policies
in South Carolina" The conduct OF
some other politicians and certain office
holders ito his mind showed c%onclusively
that they were in the conspiracy"
1t may be said that what is conclusive
10 Mr.. BUTLER's mind is not necessarily
conclusive 10 every other mind; and
ADAMS will probably deny that he has
confessed. But why does ADAMS assey-

II seems that ADAMS, In spite OF the
diabolical plotters and their corruption
fund, has been made go get on the
Roosevelt band wagon Thus do the
forces Of sin work for righteousness.
ADAMS was slow about indorsing Mr..
ROOSEVELT and all his policies and a
third term in the passionate vein dear
to BUTLER, The latter is sure that there
will be no ifs nor 'ands' in the resolu-
tions passed by the next Republican
State convention, but that it will instruct
its delegates to tender to President
ROOSEVELT a second nomination. Mr..
BUTLER is not talking for the purpose
Of proving that he is still alive politically,
but to "show up ADAMS, who is not
only a conspirator but too small for
his job
We cannot regard as small O man who
is thus credited with a part in the most
mysterious conspiracy in history. AS
for BUTLER, something good in the Secret
Service would be the most fitting reward
of his talent as an unraveller of crime.

The Incubus of a Logical Candidate

Senator TnLMAN predicts that Mr..
BRYAN will be nominated for President
by the Democrats, and that the second
place on the ticket will be filed by the
name Of a Southern man, probably Gull
BERsoN of Texas, HoKB SMITH Of Geor-
gia or DANIEL of Virginia" The Senator
does not speak with enthusiasm OF the
nomination Of Mr. BRYAN. Consider his
language:
1T looks TO me ss ~ the Democrats will have
TO nominate BRYAN for Precedent next year He
seems to be the only logical man"
Senator TILLMAN can see no Northern
Democrat looming up as a Presidential
possibility" Most of them he describes
as ward heelers," whatever that may
mean in the mouth of Mr.. T1LLMAN.
In contending for the nomination Of a
Southern man for Vice-President Senator
TILLMAN fails to see that il there is a
sound reason for denying the first place
on the national ticket to a Southern man
it runs with almost equal force against
a nomination for the Vioe-Presidency.

Americans should a Southern man be

man unless he is a little American but
would blush to advance a reason why a
Southern man Of ability and character
should not be nominated either for Vice
President OF for President.

SEPARATION Of a common intelligence it
would not hesitate to turn to the South,
