Constantinople. June 1.-The continued
absence of news from the consular agents
at Vathy. the capital of the Island of
SamOs, where the people pavolted about
a week ago, because of alleged imposi-
tons by the Prince of Samos and gov
ernor of the island. is regarded as sig
nificant. The British and French embas-
sizes have reminded the porte that no
modification is to take place with regard
10 the status quo of Samos, and that
after order has been restored the Turk
ish troops are TO leave the island. The
Turkish government has sent satisfac-
tory assurances on this point to the en-
bassies.
Owing TO the conflicting accounts as to
the nature of the trouble, the powers
may send commission to report on the
situation at Vathy.
Athens, June 1.-The Austrian guard

TO Drink OR NOT TO Drink
Woman's American Club Undecided
as to Its Attitude on the
Liquor Question.

The Woman's American club devoted
its entire meeting yesterday to the tenn
perance cause. That is it devoted the
meeting to a discussion as to whether or
not it would espOuse the cause. as il is
presented in politics Allen T. Sanford
had been called upon to eXpound the prin-
cipes of the cause, and explain the diff
ference between local option, free coinage
and a dry town. He made lucid eXplana-
tons of everything but the city attorneys
failure to back up Chief Pitts crusade.
He did not commit the American party
to any one line. and hence the club is
still at a loss TO know how il will stand
on the liquor question-when the Saltair
season is over.
Mr. Sanford announced himself as
strongly in favor OF temperance. but alb
soluteIy certain that it would never work
I'm Salt Lake. He expressed himself as
having hopes for the smaller towns in this
respect. but thought the liquor question
should be regulated in the larger cities.
He explained TO the ladies that no vote
on the question would be possible at any
rate till after the next session of the leg
islature, and this helped to leave the
question still unsolved. The meeting was
held at the home of Mrs. W. II. Bennett,
Il75 Browning avenue.
