NO TURKISH-ITALIAN WAR.
Sultan Dislikes Naval Demonstration
 Idea and Gives In.

Sultan Dislikes Naval Demonstration Idea and Gives In.
 Rome, April 22.-Turkey has ceded to the Italian demand for Italian post offices in Turkish territory to avoid n naval demonstration in her waters.
 Turkey has officially informed the Italian government that 1t does not ob- ject to Italy establishing postoffices in Turkish cities where the other powers have like institutions.
 Furthermore, the porte has virtual ly acknowledged the other claims in the matter of the right of Italians free ly to purchase property in Turkish ter ritory and with regard to coast navi- gation. .n. .sa..
 As a result of these concessions the Italian government has issued orders to the fleet that was about to sail for Turkey to remain in Italian waters, and the incident is regarded as closed.
 The threatened trouble between Italy and Turkey apparently has ended as a tempest in teacup, and for the present at least there will be no dem- onstration by Italian warships in Turk ish waters. Indeed, it now seems likely that the incident will produce a better feeling between Constantinople and Rome, leading to an agreement by the two countries on many differences which heretofore have been the cause of not a little friction.

Gives New York Audience His Views
 on Socialism and Other Topics.
 New York, April 22-William Jen- nings Bryan delivered his lecture upon the "Brotherhood of Man. to an audi ence that overfowed Cooper Union. He told the Peoples institute there that tour people are revolting against the materialism that enthrones Mammon and makes dollars the index to a mans responsibility"
 After his speech MT. Bryan was in- terrogated by those in the audience. He was asked:
 ''Is the Democratic policy of disfran- chising the negro i'll the south in ac- cord with the spirit of brotherhood, of which you have been speaking"
 'The white man of the south puts a qualification on negro suffrage in self defense" replied MT. Bryan. There is not community in the north that would not put on similar qualifica- tion under the same circumstances. The white man in neither the north nor south will permit a few men to take the solid black vote and use 1t for the making of money regardless of the in terests of the community, as was done by the carpetbaggers in the south"
 "If elected president, what will you do about the unemployed?
 "This question contains two ques- tions," MT. Bryan said, "that of tenn porary relief and that of permanent re- lief. It is the duty of the government to provide that no one shall suffer without his fault For temporary re- lief the government should give work if there is work that can be given, and if there is no work it should give aid. But let not theN permanent relief be overlooked.
 What is needed in the United States is more equitable distribution of the proceeds of human toll. To each citi- zen there should be secured reward proportionate to the contribution to the sum of human welfare made by that citizen am not socialist. I be- lieve that individualism is better than socialism if we remove the existing abuses. Socialism says competition is evil. I believe competition is good Socialism grades down; individualism grades up. Man needs the spur of competition, but he should be protect ed in competition by all competitors be- ing put on level plain"

Must Get Rights or Beat Both Parties,
 Says President Gompers.
 New York, April 22.-It great meet ing held in the Grand Central palace hall 5000 men cheered Samuel Com pers for several minutes when he said that labor must obtain it's demands for legislation or win it's rights by defeat ing both political parties at the polls.
 At the close of the meeting resolu- tions were adopted unanimously de claring that in the decision in the hat ters' case the supreme court construed the Sherman l,>sy as declaring labor to be a trust and a monopoly and that therefore industrial agreements with employers as body are conspiracies, that this construction was unjust and unconstitutional and that it is the. con- viction of labor men that it lies within the duty of congress to so amend the Sherman law as to remove any possf- bility of such future construction and to enact the Pearre bill to define the injunction powers and restrain it's abuse.
 The resolutions further called upon congress to enact general employers liability bill, an eight hour bill for gov ernment employees, and it was re- solved to hold each representative of congress responsible for his record on the labor measures during the present session.
 The resolutions as well as the speech es pledged the 100000 members of the Federation of Labor to use the ballot against any party failing to recognize the demands of the trades unions and pledged the members to support only those candidates for president and con gress who will safeguard labor.
 Meetings similar to the one at the Grand Central palace were held in all the larger cities of the country to i'm press upon the members of congress the political necessity for an immediate amendment of the Sherman antitrust law, so that the recent decision of the supreme court forbidding boycotts shall be ineffective.

Albany, N. Y, April 22.-The senate by a vote of 30 to 15 passed the Page bill extending the jurisdiction of the public service commissions over tele- graph and telephone companies, ferries and stage lines. The bill goes now to the assembly for concurrence.

UPSIDE DOWN INSIDE Autopsy Reveals Queer State of
 Mans Interior.
ORGANS IN WRONG PLACES.
Heart Turned Around and Liver With Lower End on Top-Subjeet an Able Lawyer, Whose Brain Was Not Af- feoted-Lived Sixty-six Years.

iN@A1o--tNGd 0iNhJ
 Baltimore, April 22. - Surgeons fin Johns Hopkins hospital during an au- topsy on the body of Judge John k. McKeighan of St. Louis were aston. ished to discover that instead of the usual setting of the organs those in the body were scattered about in al- most unbelievable ways.
 His heart was turned in a position the reverse of normal, his kidneys were united by llgament in the shape of horseshoe, and the liver was upside down, with the gall bladder on top. Many of the smaller organs were chaos of entangling cords and fatty substances.
 How Judge McKeighan lived with such a strange transposition of the ma chinery of his body appears marvel ous. Surgeons are mystified at 1t. Whether he was born with hls organs in abnormal position or they were put in this state through disease or some freak of nature is not known.
 Brain Was All Right.
 Judge McKeighan lived to be sixty six years old and was considered one of the ablest lawyers of St Louis. His brain did not seem to suffer through the state of his organs, and he was able to eat heartily until within few weeks of March l, when he was brought to the Hopkins hospital in a critical condition.
 He had become seriously III in St Louis in February, and his physicians were quite unable to fathom his symp- toms. He was finally brought to the Johns Hopkins hospital, where an op. eration was performed, during which discoveries were made of such star ting nature that the family consented to the autopsy, which was performed almost immediately after death.
