REFUSES TO
COME ACROSS
SULTAN SURRENDER HALF HIS
PRIVATE FORTUNE TO STATE.
Omitted Press Service.)

(OulLcu ITCSS OcTVlCC.J
COnstantinople, August 12.-The
Young Turks, the progressive party
of Turkey, not satisfied with the
granting of constitutional govern
ment, are seeking to make the de-
spoilers of their land restore stolen
funds to the state. 1t is charged by
the Young Turks that government Of
ficials under the old regime have left
behind them an empty treasury, and
the inference is that they regard the
Sultan as party to the raid. They
have demanded that the Sultan sur
render half his fortune to make good
the deficiency, but the demand is re-
fused.
The Sultan has agreed to mortgage
his private property to meet the cur
rent expenses of state, and by this
means to raise sum greater than is
demanded. The principal and inter-
est of this mortgage would have to
be paid out of the states revenues.
His attitude is based upon the idea
that to acceje to the wishes of his
subjects would be an acknowleig-
ment that his fortune was derived
from misrepresentation of government
funds.

Henry D. Baker writes from Hobart
under date of April %, that during
the last few years the rabbit indus
try in Tasmania has assumed con-
siderable proportions. His particu-
lars follow:
Rabbits for export are trapped
only in the winter months, when
theft fur is at its best, and the in
dustry affords remunerative wages
for = number Of men and boys at a
time when agricultural operations
are sdullq The trappers disembowel
the rabbits on thu spot and cart
them to the nearest railroad station
for dispatch to the freezing works
at Hobart or Launceston. The rab-
bits are graded as to size and pack
ed in crates holding from "a to 80
rabbits. according to size, which are
then stored in a freezing chamber.
Periodically a steamer calls and
takes a consignment of frozen srab-
bits to England. The season Is just
now approaching, and appearances
seem to point to busy time for the
tIappers. The total Australian ex-
portation IN 1906 Of frozen rabbits
and hares was valued at $2,391,563,
and OF rabbit skins, $2,323,51O.
