Armed with authority from the Sub.

legation in Washington and act as
charge d'afisires until a successor is
appointed to Mehmed Ali Bey, the de-
posed minister, Mundji Bey, Turkish
Consul General to New YORK, arrived In
Washington, today, called upon Acting
Secretary of State Alden, aud then as
sumed formal possession Of the legation.
Frustrated at the disgrace OF being re-
called Mehmed Ali Boy lies seriously i'll
at the legation. His secretaries declare
that he has been laboring under intense
excitement during the pest week, and
that the naming OF Mundji Bey, as his
temporary successor completely unnerved
him. Mundji Bey, in al interview, de-
clared that the recall of Mehmed All
Bey was simply another move IN sweep
ing away the old regime, another vic
tory for the young Turks" with
whom he proudly proclsims himself in
sympathy. The new Cn.rye C'SHhfs
said he would spghd MS time alt6rastsly

about November 10, when he expects to
return to Turkey to attend the opening
of the new parliament, he has no de-
sire to be permanent Minister in Wash

WEDNESDAY EVENING. ARG. 70, 1908

Mr.. BRYAN's speech of acceptance IT
the democratic nomination for the pres'-
dsncy delivered in. Lincoln, Neb., today,
Is plain statement of facts, severe
arraignment Of the republican party and
a straightforward promise of what the
nominee will do should he be elected to
the high Office to which he aspires. 1t
contrasts the republican and democratic
platforms to the great disparity Of the
former, and shows that the interest OF
the people of the country would be sub
served by q democratic majority next
November. Mr.. Bryan's speech is in
no way radical; he wishes better condi-
tions and believes that by proper legis-
lation such conditions can be reached.
He shows how the republican party, now
10 absolute control of the government, is
controlled by the trusts and sees no re-
lief from this condition until the demo-
cratic party again comes into power. Mr..
Bryan applauds the platform adopted at
Denver and emphasizes its declarations
that the real issue of the campaign, so
far as democracy ia concerned, is the
question, "Shall the People Rule ?"

Ischl, Austria. Aug. 12.-Tbrough
lines of beautiful women, dressed as
Tyrolese peasants, and throwing flowers
into the royal carriage, King Edward
entered Ischl, today, to pay his respects
to Emperor Francis Joseph, whose sum-
mer villa is in this quiet little town.
Emperor Joseph, despite his advanced
age, WAS st the station to meet the king
and loving greeting between the mon
archs took place. Edward, who left the
kaiser at Cronberg, at IL O'Clock last
night, travelled all night along con-
tinuous line OF senlries. From Oron.
berg, TO the Austrian frontier. German
seniries stood 300 yards apart. and this
guard was continued by Austrian SOL
diers when the frontier was crossed.
The villa of Francis Joseph is too
small to accommodate the kings entour-
age, AMI he Is stopping st the leading
inn, building more than 100 years old
The king and emperor lunched together
In the open air, at the imperial villa.
While nothing official was given out
regarding their conference, 1t is under
stood that il had to do largely with
affairs in Turk,y In whose future both
countries are vitality interested.
This evening choir OF 5000 men
from Vienna will serensde King Ed
ward while he is dining with the en-
peror. At 10 o'clock 500 beacon fires
will be lighted on the lofty mountains
surrounding Ischl.
Many German critics of King Ed
ward profess to see in his visit to En-
peror Francis Joseph, an attempt to win
Austria Hungary, one Of the few rem aim
ing allies that Germany has, to the Egg
lish.

GENERALLY speaking, there may not
be much in a name or in title, but for
Abdul Hsmid to renouuce the title OF
sultan and call himself emperor would
be highly significant, 1t would involve
remuneration of his claims to be the
Csliph of Islam, the spiritual chief Of
the Mahometan world, and would reduce
him to the rank of the merely temporal
sovereign of the 0 tomsn Empire.

ton. the saloons of Iowa are run
ming risk of not even having legal
right to continue in business if the

A BAD AFFAIR.

Deloit was the scene of an affair
this week which reflects but little
credit upon those engaged in it.
From what we can learn it seems
that Mr.. lnrgens of Glider visited
Deloit friends and on Saturday night
attended an entertainment given by
the so-called-" Boosters Club. - On
Sunday the young man, who is a
member of the church of Latter Day
Saints publicly expressed his disap-
probation of the entertainment. and
said he did not think church members
should attend. Where upon some of
the Boosters, in order to show their
love of free speech etc followed him
when he went to take the train,
throwing eggs at him and at one of
the prominent and reputable citizens
of Deloit who accompanied him. The
affair is regretable and we are sure
does not represent the best element of
Deloit people. The young man s
structures on the Boosters may have
been undersigned. but certainly "'Eg-
gins people is no way to boast De-
lott.

a WORD TO CERTAIN PARENTS
Something of Interest to Children who
Cannot Attend Sunday School

The talks on the Sunday school les
sons appearing from week to week
are primarily for the families where
the children are enable to attend the
Sunday schools. so that they may be
informed as to the things which the
children in the towns are studying
about. With view to finding out
how many children who cannot go to
Sunday school are reading the lesson
comments. and to simulate them to
constant study. the editor of the col
umn is offering copy of the New
Testament to all boys and girls be-
tween the ages of ten and seventeen
who make showing of having read
the talks on the lessons for three
months beginning with the first week
in February. We call attention OF
parents to this offer. and ask them t.
interest the children. Further inror.
nation as to the matter will be foune
IN the Sunday school column.
