SAYS IT Is DEPLoRABLE.
Colored Minister of Peoria Gives
oninion Of Riot.

peoria. ILL.,, August 15-"It is de-
porable affair." said Rev. Henry Jane
son nastor Of the African Methodist
Eniscopal Church, today. discussing last
nights riot. He left at noon for Spring
field. Mr.. Jameson Is one of the most
influential colored men In Illinois, ana
was mixing with his race in Peoria. calm
ing them. and telling them that he would
do his best to settle the trouble when ne
reached Springfield. MI Jameson said:
..Jt is another blot on the good name
of orr fair state. 1t emphasizes the fact
that the undesirable citizens. both white
and black, ought not be permitted to
ama,gamate. It is usually the unde-
sirabie of both classes. mixing freely
Nth each other, both north and south,
that cause SO much trouble.
"As undesirable as mob law and
lvnchings are they are the sWlftest
agents of revenge.
..If the thinking white men and the
intelligent colored men would unite
along the lines Of civic righteousness
the Classes referred to would either be
incarcerated in the penitentiary and
workhouse or driven out OF society,
either of which would be more heIpful
than the present state Of affairs"
Mr. Jameson was the leader of the
coIored troops who rushed up San JuaE
Hill in the war with Spain. and many OF
his old command, who are now in Peo-
ria. wanted to 30 to Springfield with
him hut he refused them, advising all
that II was better to remain in Peoria
and to keep quiet. He will probably re-
main in Springfield until the trouble is
settled.

TREAT OUT FOR HUGHES.
Declares Republicans Will Name

Charles H. Treat. United States treas
urer. has returned from a brief trip to
New York.
Hughes will be nominated by the re-
publicans for Governor of New York"
said Mr.. Treat. LAS I see it, the nomi-
nation will be the best the republicans
can make.
Hughes will win the independent vote
of the state and the machine workers will
fall into line. They never go back on a
nominee.
Then. again. Hughes is a national fig
ure. The people of the state will prefer
him to some unknown, untried man.
Il do not believe the democrats stand
any chance of winning for governor or on
the national ticket. They are doing a
good deal of talking, but that does not
mean votes"

GREAT CHANGES INEVITABLE

| Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. August 15.-The meetings of
King Edward and the emperors of Ger
many and Austria this week have been
of far more greater Importance than
usually attaches to consultations between
monarchs. 1t is known that the principal
topic of both interviews was the Turkish
revolution. It will be readily agreed that
from the point of view of Turkey herself
and In Its broader aspect of human prog
ress this greatest of modern political sur
prfses is to be heartily welcomed. Ger
many. on the other hand. finds it a seri-
Gus blow to her policy and ambitions,
while for the British empire it makes an
imminent political peril of the first magni-
tude.
1t Is India which gives occasion for the
gravest anxiety Unrest has prevailed in
that vast dependency for the past two
years. Hopes have been entertained for
the past few months that the crisis would
be passed without a violent outbreak of
sedition. The constitutional movement in
Persia has not been particularly encour-
aging to Indian malcontents.. The politi-
cal miracle In Turkey is far different in its
portent for the vast Mussulman popula-
ton under British rule in India.
To Face Political Resurrection.
ar-Seelng statesmen In this and other
countries understand full well that the
western world is face to face with a great
and momentous political resurrection of
the oldest and most numerous races of the
earth. Great changes are inevitable in
the not distant future, and the three mon
archs who met this week had before them
the most vital problem in human destiny
that this generation will have to solve.
The news from Constantinople and all
the Turkish dOminionS this week contin-
ues to record that same strange frater-
nifty of races and faiths which from the
first has amazed diplomats and students
alike. The same moderation and restraint
have characterized every movement of
the wise committee Of revolutionists.
Official Thieves Surrendering.
The terrified official thieves are sur
rendering their plumber and Turkey and
the Turks are coming into their own with
out q struggle. 1t is too early to consider
that the danger of reaction has passed.
Abdul has still to be reckoned with and
1t is not to be imagined that he is idle.
Private reports from Constantinople con-
tinue to affirm that abdication Is not far
of, whether voluntary or compulsory can
not be stated. The Young Turkey party
has undoubtedly provided for every con-
tingency and it's plans have been made
in full detail. But it would be useless to
speculate upon any action it may con-
template.

As the State league bowling schedule Is slowly melting away. the ques- tion arises will the relations in this kind of sport cease between the six large cities until next fall or will the teams reorganize and struggle for an other bowling honor in another series of matches.
 April II, two weeks from to-day the final games in the State league will be rolled. There remains the rest of April all of May and part of June dur ing which the interest in bowling will dwindle away unless some decided step Is taken to encourage this sport dur Ing this season. We would like to propose that when the State league five men bowling teams disband league of three men, two men and individual represented in the race. The three matches could all be rolled the same night starting at 7:3O and finishing about 10 o'clock. these taking the place of the five men league. Three games could be rolled in the three men matches, three in the two-men matches and five in the individual matches.
 This proposed league would enkindle the interest in bowling and be splen- did substitute for the five men league during the remainder of the bowling season.
 Tonight the strong Bridgeport ag- eregation of pin-knights will assail Swift and Hulse's alleys and the local five are up against stiff proposition. The locals hold first place by but a . small margin and they need every game to secure a good lead Next Tuesday night the local five will camp out up In Meriden and on the final day of the season New Britain will fight it out with the locals at Swift and Hulses.
 The struggle for individual suprem- acy between Jimmie watt and Charlie Johnson has been keen race and is now even more exciting than at any time this season. The two usually rol about even on the local alleys and the games tonight on account of this fact will be watched with great interest.
