Constantinople, Turkey, July 2S.-
AS climax to the most remarkable
series of revolutionary changes in the
history of Turkey which have taken
place in the past two weeks, Sultan
Abdul Hamid ii issued an imperial
trade today changing the entire So
cial existence of the imperial family
in conformity with the reforms re-
Gently granted to his subjects.
HencefOrth- Hamid is no longer a
despotic ruler of absolutism, but a
constitutional monarch by his own
declaration, and will live the life OF
democratic monarch, depending on
the good will of the people for power.
The trade declared officially that
Abdul, who has been a self-imposed
prisoner in the imperial palace for 81
years. will appear ON the streets like
any other citizen. 1t also declared
that the princesses of the imperial
family must henceforth observe mon
ogamy.
The sultan is now said to be the
happiest man in Turkey, as he is the
most popular man in Turkey.

COMMISSION IS
TO INVESTIGATE
WILL SEE IF DECREASED
RATES ARE JUSTIFIED
Interstate Commerce Men VIII Take
the Initiative-Win Not Wait for
I COmplaints-Prepare to Make Re-
ductiOn Order without Delay When
Complaints Come.

Washington, July 2S.-An an
nouncement has just been made by
the interstate commerce commission
that it may at once start an investi-
cation on its own motion for the pur-
pose of learning whether an advance
in freight rates is justified.
The statement issued by the COM
mission says 1.-THE commission has no
authority to supend the proposed ad-
vance in rates. It can order a re-
duction only after an investigation
and hearing after such rates have be-
come effective"
1t is understood that If the tariffs
filed with the commission show an in
crease, the commission, without wait
ing for the filing of formal COM
plants, will institute the investiga-
tion. This would enable 1t to handle
promptly any complaint filed against
the advanced rates.

mends the adoption of a postal saw
ings bank system in which, of course
the government would become respon-
sible to the depositors. for the pay
ment Of principal and interest. The
democratic platform recommends a
tax on national banks and such state
banks as may come in the nature of
enforced insurances to raise the
guaranty fund to pay depositors of
any bank which fails. How state
banks can be included in such a
scheme under the constitution is left
in the twilight zone OF states rights
and federalism so frequently dim
ing the meaning and purpose of the
the honest and prudent banker to
make up for the dishonesty and inn
prudence OF others. If the proposal
weer adopted exactly as the demo-
cratic platform suggests 1t would
bring the whole banking system of
the country down in ruins and this
proposal is itself an excellent illus
tration Of the fitness for national
control of the party which will COM
nit itself to a scheme of this nature,
without the slightest sense of respon-
sibility for the practical operation of
the law proposed
I'm the matter in putting a limit
upon Asiatic immigration referred to
in the democratic platform 1t is suf-
ficient to say that the present repub-

TO minimize the evils suggested and
the subsequent republican admins
tration can be counted upon to con-
tinue the same policy. Another plank
in the democratic platform refers
to the failure of the republican con-
vention to express an opinion in favor
OF the publicity Of contributions re-
ceived and expenditures made in elec-
tions.
Here again we contrast our op-
ponents' promises with our own acts.
Great Improvement has taken place
under republican auspices in respect
to the collection and expenditure OF
money for this purpose. II elected

to letter written by George Bush,
superintendent of the telephone COM
pany. Hot Springs, to friends in this
city.
Bush says the candidate squeezed
himself into the entrance to the booth,
but when he tried to emerge he
couldn't get out. He squirmed, wrig>
gled and perspired for a few minutes
alone, and finally shouted for help.
People in the telephone pay station
ran to his assistance and they imme-
diately say that saw would have to
be used. A carpenter was called and
sawed the candidate free. Bush says
a bigger booth will be built.

and children.
The reports that Gould had capit-
ulated to Hartman and surrendered
control of all his lines to him spread
over Wall street, and everybody was
anxious to hear what Gould had to
say. His reply to the questions was
his reference to the tinsel crowns.
Gould refused to sa whether Har-
riman will become director of the
Gould lines, but said that he was
glad to have him. He said the West
ern Pacific situation had brought
about for a time a discontinuance of
his business relations with Hartman.
He said he and Hartman were good
friends.

With the opening price higher than
ever before in the history Of the
county, this years wheat crop is now
being sold, and If the yield has been
less than normal the price at least
is highly satisfactory to the farmers.
The opening price is 73 cents.
For several days past the wheat
market has been active, although SELL
ing has not yet become general Most
of the wheat now sold changed hands
Saturday and nearly all Of it was
from the reservation. The largest
sale that has so far occurred was that
of L. L. Mann's yield, $4,000 bushels,
to the Kerr-Gifford company. Aside
from the Mann wheat, Frank Rogers,
manager for the K.-G. company, also
yield.
Other reservation farmers to sell
early were Messrs. Williamson and
wheat is also rumored to have. been
sold. These yields were bought by
the Balfour- company. The
Byers mill has also bought some
wheat.
The wheat market this year opened
at ~ cents for club, and Immediately
advanced to 73 cents. Buyers say
they can not remember Of a higher
opening price. Blue stem Is selling
at from rs to II cents.
The percentage Of smutty wheat
this year is larger than usual, and re-
ports received show that this county
as well as practically the entire
Northwest is more or less damaged
by smut this year. Wheat that is
classed as smutty sells at from 3 to 16
cents per bushel, lower than No. /.
