afternoon on the annual long distance
race of the Chicago Yacht Club to Macki-

The news of Mr.. Hazen's appointment

TURKS ARE STILL UNMOvED
DO NOT ENTHUSE OVER PoLITI-
CAL FREEDOM.
Believe Constitution May Be Taken
Away at Any Time-Far-Reach-
ing Effect.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 25.-The mo-
mentous act of the Sultan of Turkey in
proclaiming yesterday the restoration Of
the constitution of 1876 has left the popu-
lation of Constantinople unmoved. The
aspect of the city is today perfectly nor
NAL, and there have been no manifesto
tions of satisfaction of any kind.
The stolid fatalism of the Moslems, who
for centuries past have been accustomed
to a regime Of personal rule and who are
not used to political freedom, is thought
partly to explain the apathy everywhere
apparent. Added to this is skepticism re-
garding the durability Of the new era
promised.
/ Furthermore. past experience and the
fact that the sultan has conceded the re-
establishment Of the constitution under
extreme pressure incline the Turks to
the belief that the concession is intended
merely to surmount the present troubles
and avert the threatened disruption of the
empire, and that the earliest opportunity
will be taken again to suspend the charter
Of liberty.
Macedonian Problem.
Should the suspicious prove groundless
the new system of government is bound
to have far-reaching consequences with
regard to the treatment Of the Macedo-
MAN problem. 1t will render foreign inter-
vention more difficult than ever and de-
stroy, for the time being at any rate. all
hopes of a realization of the desires of
some of the Balkan states to acquire
slices OF the European provinces of Tur-
key.
PARIS, July 25-The granting of a
constitution to Turkey has created a good
impression on the bourse and today the
entire list under the lead of Ottomans be-
came firmer.

Increasing Use Of Electricity IL
Spain.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
There were in Spain in 1901 only S6l
electric power stations. of which 651 were
for public lighting and 21O for private
lighting. Since then the number Of power
stations for electric lighting has increased
considerably. and it may be added also
that the use of electricity in its many
other applications has also increased and
become more general, but there Is still a
vast field for further industrial develop
ments, as the supply of power which the
country affords is yet far from being ex
hausted.

Protective League and Con-
stitution Adopted.

The Dog Owners Association was
merged into the Citizens Protective
League at meeting held in the rooms OF
the Chamber of Commerce, in the Bren-
tano building, last night. T. Edward
Clark, president of the f1rst-named Or
ganization, was chosen to preside over
the league. A constitution was adopted
and plans were made for work.
Many persons understood that the
league was being organized only to fight
the muzzle law for dogs, but early in the
evening President Clark disabused their
minds by announcing that the work for
the organization was to secure all rights
guaranteed to the individual under the
constitution.
Object Of the Meeting.

American should be proud that he pos
sesses those rights under the Constitu-
ton We must not only have those
rights relating to dogs, but all other
rights"
Mr. Clark said it was believed to be wise
to change the name of the association.
II hope" he continued, 1--WE will start
this without much chin music hope
also that no one will speak disrespectfully
of the Commissioners. as no good can be
accomplished along such lines"
AS Mr.. Clark closed his address he
proposed that the Dog Owners Associa-
ton be merged into the Citizens Pro.
tective League. This was in the form of
a motion, and was adopted. Mr.. Clark
then announced that Earl Goodwin, who
had been named as chairman OF the con-
stitution committee, was ready to report.
Mr.. Goodwin thereupon read the consti-
tuition Of the proposed organization, the.
purposes Of which are as follows:

Avert Defeat In England.

SOUTHAMPTON. July 15-More than
average batting was shown by the Gen
tlemen OF Philadelphia in their cricket
match against the Hampshire County
eleven yesterday. when the visitors began
their innings. Ordinarily q total OF 27S
which the Americans rolled up, would be
considered fine mark. but, unfortunate
ly, the Englishmen. on Monday. ran up
the remarkable score of 49,, and conse-
quently the Philadelphians had to follow
on. They put together sixty-three runs
for the loss OF one wicket at the second
attempt. and therefore are still 125 runs
to the bad. Unless they can stay at the
wickets all day today il is probable that
they will suffer their first defeat.
