IMPERIAL PL0WMAh
 SULTAN MEHMED Y HE PROVED HIMSELF STRONG ENOUGH TO RULE. The Ceremony of Girdins on the
 Sword.

ConstantinOple, May 1O.-Mehmed V. ended his coronation" day by blowing a furrow in the lawn at Dolmabagtsche palace, symbolically at least, by hold ing the blow handles for a fraction of a minute, while two horses dragged it a few yards In carrying out the ancient test, Mehmed V showed him self to be sound of body and fit to bear the physical burdens of the em- pire.
 It had been a day both of fulfilling and breaking ancient customs. Chris tians, for the first time, were admit ted to the small mosque and allowed to see the ceremony of girding the sword of Othman on the sultan. The day, notwithstanding rumors of reac- tionary plots. passed peacefully.
 Lights were blazing in the minarets and mosques of Constantinople to- night; the ships in the harbOr were outlined by electric bulbs. and the city generally was celebrating enthusiasti- cally the girding of the new sultan.

REDUCED ID
 FINE POINT Hdske|Ps Interest in the
 Town Lot Steal STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR
He Shows That the Govern ment Could Not Have Lost More Than $1,750 and That He Could Not Have Got More Than $55 of it.

Guthrie, May Ex-Governor Charles N. Haskell issued a statement today respecting his connection with the so called Mott civil land suits, and the action of Federal Judge Campbell. who at Muskogee on Saturday last, overruled a motion of the defendants The decision, the governor says, was in the cases brought by the govern ment to recover additional moneys for town lots in Muskogee and sev- eral other Creek nation towns.
 Judge CampbelPs decision" says Governor Haskell, merely overrules the defendants demurrer to the gov ernment's petition, which was princi- pally a question of the jurisdiction of the court to hear these suits at the instance of the interior department and after overruling the demurrer, the court allowed the defendants to an- swer, putting the facts alleged in the governments petition on issue for fu- ture trial
 "The government alleges that there was a conspiracy between the own CTS and schedulers of the lots and that the Creek nation and govern ment officials had no knowledge of the plans of scheduling. An inves- tigation discloseS the fact that the federal officials not only had knowl- edge, but approved the plan, and the decision has not any bearing on the criminal prosecutions.
 The governments complaint does hol nf the unimproved plated land. and is to the effect that the whole valuation instead of one-half thereof should have been realized by the government, so that in no event does the govern ment complain of the loss of more than s25,000.
 These complaints in the civil cases involve more than one hundred people in Muskogee alone, but the govern ment has seen fit to seek indictments only against Governor Haskell and six others.
 The government claims that Has kell is an official of the corporation that secured a small portion of the above unimproved lots. the govern ment valuation of which was less than S3500, so that the real govern ment complaint against the corpora tion that Haskell was connected with in dollars and cents is less than s1750, and Haskelrs interest as a stock holder in said corporation was claimed to be about ? per cent.
 This is the strongest statement that can be made against those de- fendants, drawn from the govern ment's claim based on it's official rec ords and the defendants allege that they will be able to show that the government has no cause for com plaint."

In the Evidence Which at First Apparently Avoided the Defendant But Is Now Centering About His Rela- tions to the Alleged Bribery

San Francisco, May 10.-The eigh- teenth week of the trial of Patrick Calhoun, opened today with the prose- cution engaged in the endeavor to forge the connecting links of its chain of evidence which are vital, inasmuch as they are intended directly to impli- cate the defendant with the alleged of fense of bribing the Schmitz super visors to grant the trolley franchise.
 The first several weeks of taking testimony passed without the interjec- tiOn of MT. Calhoun's name into the but in the last five or six days the character of the evidence and nearly every witness has been questioned as to the relations of the defendant to certain aspects of the case
 The day was given over to the in vestigatiOn of the minute books of the United Railroads directors which were by Secretary George B. Wilcutt or the company to refresh his memory.
 From the questions asked it appear ed that the prosecution was seeking to show that Calhoun was in absolute control of the board from the time of his election as president in 1905, and that the majority of the directors were merely dummies. holding but a single share of stock each.

THE PHILIPPINES BILL.

Washington, May 10.-The principal changes made by the house committee of ways and means in the Philippines tariff bill were explained in the report submitted to the house today by Rep resentative Payne of New York. It stated that the new tariff becomes nes- essary because the free trade provi sions of the Payne bill will deprive the insular government of about s1,000. 900 revenue.
 The export duties on Manila hemp. copra, tobacco sugar and shells, which yielded a revenue of s743,9SS in 1908, are enacted in the new bill. A new section provides that there shall be contained on all articles imported from countries other than the United States.
 The duties assessed by the bill have been reduced in a number of instances. Hides and petroleum and it's products have been transferred from the duti able list to the free list. Certain machinery and light weight steel rails for tramways have been given lower duties. Numerous other changes have been made in the phraseology to make the bill conform to the Payne tariff bill.

THE HANS CASE
 SUBMITTED TODAY
A Dispute by Attorneys as to the Com pIieity of the Almighty.

Flushing, May 1O.-One hour more of summing up by the prosecution; af- terward the courts charge, and then the case of Captain Hains will pass into the hands of the jury tomorrow. Today's session of the trial was marked by the final appeal of MT. Mcintyre, for the defense, and a part of the final plea of Mir. Gregg, for the prosecution. The prosecutor denounced the insanity plea. declaring that it was manufac- tured by the defendants lawyers as a last resort. Instead of the killing of Annis being an "act of God" he brand ed the shooting as a 'cOwardly mur- der. committed with deliberation and reconciliation"
 Mir Mcintyre, in his closing argu- ment had said that it was an act of God that directed Halns' hand when he took the life of Annis." He said it "was mental shock sufficient to un- balance a mans mind when he learned of his wife's infidelity from her own liDS"

IA DISPOSITION
 TOWARDS CAUTION
Spectators Permit the Market to Lapse Slightly.

New York, May 10.-There was a falling off in speculative interest and activity in the stock market. With out any pronounced reversal in the tone, operators were less disposed to accept the lead offered by the bid ding up of special stocks. Prices re- acted more positively in the final hearings.
 Improvement in copper was proved by the April statistics of the Copper Producers association but the copper industrials were rather heavier than the general list It was apparent that last weeks speculation in the coppers had been in anticipation of the ef- feet of these figures. Leading rates for fixed periods were marked up again in the money market. Foreign rates also were firm and still near the gold export level. Total sales, par value, S5,35S, 900 United States bonds were unchanged
