Of its usual time, to hear the conclusion
/ of the sto-y of Thomas A. Owens, who
claims to have signed number Of blank
notes for John o. Davis, to be used, as
he thought, 10 the course of business, as
Davis WAS acting as the financial hacker
Of Ovens.

Charge Against Abdul tismld.

Conslsntinople, May 13.-Oonvinced
that the trial and conviction of Abdul
Hamid on a formal set of charges is
the only way his deposition can be
justified in the eyes of the Mohamme-
dams, the Young Turks are today busy
formulating the plaus for bis trial
according to the best Information,
the charges will be practically the same
as those brought against him informally
when he was deposed. They are:
That he eliminated certain clauses 10
the book of the Sheriat, or Sacred Law;
that he diverted public money t. hi,
own pockets; that he was responsible
for countless unjust executions; that he
swOre twice to support the constitution
and broke his oath both times; that he
instigated the mutiny and provoked the
disorders that resulted 10 thousands
being massacred in Asia Minor.
1t is not believed that a death sen.
tence will be imposed upon Abdul, as
the Young Turks are unwilling to be
known as regicidea. They also expect a
natural death to remove Abdul before
many months. Since his deposition
AbduPs health, which for years has
been frail, has been completely shattered,
and the incursble disease from which
he has long suffered is said to be making
rapid inroads upon him.
Those who have seen the former sui
tan 10 his Salonika palace, where he is
imprisoned, say that he sufers excrucI-
sting pains, has frequent fainting frs
and often goes for two or three nights
without sleeping. The calm he main
taius is the calm of stupsfsction rather
than that of resignation.

Correspondence OF the ALEXANDRIA Gazette,
Washington, May Is.
That the vigorous campaign against
tuberculosis has failed to check the great
white plague was the startling charge
made today by Nathan SIrsus, the New
York philsuthropist, at the fifth annual
meeting of the National Association for
be Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, at the New Willard. Mr.. Sraus
backed up his assertion by official sta
tstics from the New York health depart
ment, showing an increase of SO per
cent. in two years In cases of tuberculo-
ais in the city tba. DR.. Koch described as
leading the whole world in the fight
against the disease. The reason for this
failure to make Roadway, Mr.. Siraus de-
clared, was the neglect of the mischief
~rought by the tuberculous dairy COW.
The association, which was called to
order this morning by Homer Folks, its
vice. president, will CONTINUE in session
for the rest of the week. At q public
meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon,
addresses will be made By Ambassador
Bryce, of Gtest Britain, Speaker Can
non, DR.. VIM. Osler, of Baltimore, and
other distinguished men interested in the
work of ersdicsting the white plsgue.
Accepting 40 opportunity which he
has been expecting for some time,
Franklin MacVesGh, secretary Of the
treasury, started for New York today.
He hopes to conclude his conferences
there with customs officials and COM
plete an inspection which be desires
so that he may return here by Friday
evening. The secretary will go over
carefully with Collector Loeb the re-
cent customs fraud and the recommen-
datious which have been made for the
improvement OF the services st that
port. Secretary MscVeagh may meet
a number of the big financial men be-
fore he returns.
The report of the appointment of the
Marquis de VillslObsr, IS minister to
the United States to succeed Ramon
Pine, the present Spanish minister, Was
confirmed today by the State Depart
ment. The United States government
has notified the Spanish minister OF the
qcceptsbiIty Of the Marquis Villslobar.
The appointment, however, will not be
made at once aud the present minister
will remain in Washington for several
weeks. His successor has had expert.
ence in Washington as secretary and was
a delegate Of Spain to the worlds fair.
The report emanating from Hong
Kong that Consul General Wilder is to
