es within the space of about twenty
four hours.
The completeness with which the
army had been won over is said to ac-
count for the bloodless character of
the revolution. The first mutiny in
Macedonia, in which a palace favorite
was killed, was not a part of the pro-
gram, but other troops refused to
march against the mutineers. This be-
trayed the condition of the army and
the revolutionary leaders We're COM
PEELED to act at once.
Messages from every quarter, from
his most trusted generals, came to the
sultan threatening to march on Con-
stantinople unless a constitution were
proclaimed at once. Meanwhile the
proclamation was made and some steps
taken to installing new government
in the provinces in spite of the resist
ance of the civil police.
The army chiefs are resolved to make
a complete change of government in
Constantinople before the meeting of
parliament in November. The first step
is to regulate expenditures. which have
brought the rich country to the verge
of financial ruin. Heretofore the sulz
tan has accounted to nobody for public
expenditures. The reformers propose
to introduce national budget and reg
ulate by law both the collection and
distribution of public revenue.
1t may be imagined that this pro-
gram has created a great sensation
among the palace favorites who have
fattened on the poverty of the people.
They have been all powerful in the
capital, but they cannot resist the
army, and if the leaders of the revolt
proceed with moderation, we may see
both economic and political reform es-
tablished in Turkey, before it is in
Russia.

OARSMEN ARE

BIG PROGRAM OF AQUATIC

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. a.
| Springfield is crowded today with
! spectators who have come to witness
the regatta of the National Association
of Amateur oarsmen. Beginning today
and extending through tomorrow the
visitors are assured of two days OF
aquatic sports that will eclipseFall pre-
vious regattas of the association. Oars
men from all over the east, with sever
al crews from the central west and
Canada, will be seen in competition on
the Connecticut river course.
The national regatta in Springfield

| residents of the city generally are help
ing to make it a success, not leaving
it's management to few men interest
ed in the sport, as in other sections,
except Saratoga. The whole local man.

field board of trade, and it has ex
tensively advertised it throughout the
country, secured reduced transporta-
ton and hotel rates, and done every
thing else that may be necessary to
make racing oarsmen and visitors
comfortable. This has had the effect
Of stirring up rowing clubs, and has
resulted in an unprecedented entry list.
A feature of the regatta is expected
to be the championship singles with
Bennett, Greer, Miller ct al. on the line.

had any professional or other coaching
whatever; it shows that this is not

A SLOW COUNT.

If the contest in this state at the
September primaries should be close
the results will not be known as soon
as they are usually known in general
elections. This will be true because
there are nominations to make for
many offices and many candidates for
most of the nominations. In some cases
however, the democrats have failed to
enter the contest, or only a number
of democrats fled equal to the num-
Der of nominations to be made. This
will somewhat simplify and accelerate
the count on the night of September s.
Apparently the Illinois primary held
last Saturday was a good deal like our
primary will be. The voters of each
party Endorsed a candidate for United
States senator and there were two or
more contestants for the honor in both
the republican and democratic parties.
State tickets and county tickets were
nominated. Necessarily the election
boards had a big job of counting on
their hands. The dispatches say the IL
linois returns were almost as slow as
they were in the old days before rail-
roads, when oxteams and canal boats
helped the speed of messengers en-
trusted with the results.
The public must expect a large bal
lot and a slow count The bosses were,
of course, quite willing under the old
convention system to do the nominat-
ing for us. AS there were fewer bosses
than voters, the bosses could announce
results more quickly than can the
voters. In this case it will be an ex-
change of speed and a stacked deal
for safety and a square deal.

What is called the inner history OF
the late revolution in Turkey comes
from London. 1t is said to have been
brought there by messenger from Con-
stantinople. If the story is true, this
revolution is no different from the IA
miliar palace revolutions of Oriental
history, brought about by the simple
process of corrupting the army.
The only differenc is that the Turk
ish army, instead of being corrupted by
money or promises of power in the in
terests of some despot, has been so
worked upon by the emissaries of the
party called the young Turks that it
forced the sultan to proclaim a consti-
