FROM EUROPE ON
LAPLAND

New York, May 16.-W. "A. Clark,
formerly senator from Montana,
came back from Europe today, ar
riving in New York on the Rcd
Star liner, Iapland.
Senator Clark told Of conditions
in Paris brought on by the former
postal and telegraph strike which
has now been renewed, and sail
that for three weeks it was almost
/ impossible to set any mail. III 4
Il think the cause of the strike"
said Mr.. Clark, was as much politi-
cal as industral"
He added that one OF the COM
plants was that the postmaster
general would jump men over the
heads Of those entitled to promo
ton the same as Teddy jumped
army officers over their seniors in
rank"
Mrs. Clark and the Misses Clark
remained in France, but will return
to New York this fall, when the fa-
nous Clark mansion here will be

In interview General Discredits Idea Of
His Being Dictator ghty Women

Palace-~Ptince Eddin Arrested

Constantinople, May 16.-Mahmoud
Schefket Pasha, commander Of the
Turkish constitutional forces both
land and sea, is the most frequently
in the thoughts of those observing or
dealing with the confused politics of
the day in Turkey. He is the one
quiet-figure upon whom rests the
preservation of order and the civil
branches of the government look to
him to impose their liberal rule upon
the empire, and to deal promptly
with persons and factions dangerous
to 1t. The skill and celerity with
which General schefket brought the
third army corps ana part Of the sec
ond army corps before Constantine
pie and Occupied the city has pleased
the foreign military men. Besides
those attached to the embassies, sew
en- officers came from Germany and
five British officers from Egypt to
observe the development Of the cam
paign. They have not ceased to dis
cuss the details of the constitution
ailSC CDHllnaHuSf arrangement.
A Man Of Mystery.
General Schefket has been some
thing Of q man of mystery, which inl-
preston he has. been taking steps in
recent days to remove. He has called
in succession during the past week
upon every ambassador and minister
tn 10 ttti "a af
his Turkish subjects holding high po-
sitions, such as the Greek patriarch
ate. He has talked modestly upon
political affairs and the relation of
the army to the government, possibly
with the idea of checking the spread
ing notion that he Is virtually dicta-
tor and that he and parliament are
near to a rupture.
Defines Position.
Speaking on this subject today,
General Schefket said:
The army is merely an instrument
of civil power. The army and I, as
an officer in it, derive our authority
to establish order from the national
assembly. The army is a finger Of
parliament only, and works under the
will Of the cabinet
The general had an hours talk
with Hilmi Pasha, the grand vizier,
at the conclusion of which, he said:
"The grand vizier and I are in per-
feet accord. We have obstacles to
overcome in our progress toward free
and stable institutions I have hope
we will rise above them"
The disorders in Adana province,
General Schefket said, were in pro-
cess of solution. The court martial
there could be trusted to make thor
ough investigation and provide ade-
quate punishment for the guilty. The
agitation in the fourth army corps
at the headquarters in Ezeroum had
ceased, most of the mutineers and
deserters having been arrested.
In conclusion, General schefket
said:
1--WE desire very much to have the
good will, sympathy and moral sup
port of the Americans in the present
movement toward better government"

LAWYER STEVENSON PLEASED
Dispensary Commission Attorney Dis.
cusses Supreme Court Decision.

Columbia. April 9.--Mr. W. F.
Stevenson. Of Cheraw. one of the at
torneys connected with the State dis
pensary litigation, was In the city to-
day on official business. Naturally
Mr.. Stevenson could talk of nothing
but the decision OF the United States
Supreme Court decision. which decid-
ed that the commission had jurisdic-
ton over the State dispensary funds.
Mr.. Stevenson said that the decision
was just what he expected, as It would
have required q practical reputation
Of the decisions of the court since its
|4reation to have upheld the position
Of the complainants.
"The tendency of the Circuit
Courts" said Mr.. Stevenson, "has al
ways been to enlarge the construction
of their powers. and the decision of
the Court OF Appeals merely empha-
sized this tendency. They have. how
ever. camped in zone beyond that
contemplated by the constitution and
have been very forcibly restored to
their proper sphere by their super
iors.
"The Supreme Court placed the de-
cision on the grounds raised by us In
the Garrett case and maintained It's
constitutionality all the way through.
The commission will not meet until
the mandate comes down. The claim
ants who have not done so will have
an opportunity in due time to pro-
duce their books and qualify same as
we have already passed upon many of
these. We desire to do full justice
to all claimants. and the great power
lodged In the commission shall be
5udicially exercised to both the State
and the creditors"
Attorney General Lyon will return
to the city in a day or so and steps
will be taken at once for the further
ance Of prosecution.

TAKING THE NECESSITIES.
How Hosiery Duties Will Affect the
Country.

True. coffee and tea and cocoa, and
candy are not necessities. in life. They
are luxuries. But they are distinct
lively the luxuries Of the common peo-
pie. However. the table Is not the
only part OF the tariff bill which has
direct interest for the average man
or woman. Stockings. it will be gen.
orally conceded, are necessities OF
modern civilization. Whittier's bare
foot boy is not type of young
America. American civilization has
not accepted the example of Sock
less Jerry Simpson. Stockings we
must have. Under the Dingley bill
there has been an average tax on i'm
ported hosiery Of 6S.SS per cent. The
Payne bill increases this tax by from
40 to ~ per cent. on the cheaper
grades and Is per cent on the me-
dium grades. On stockings costing
81 dozen abroad every American
family must contribute 70 cents to-
ward making up the national deficit
A Chicago dealer has figured 1t out
that under the Payne bill 60-cent
stockings would be advanced to IS
cents: 10 cent, and 25-cent stockings
would sell at II and Is cents. and
ascent stockings would sell at 40
cents. Do you wear stockings? II
you do. figure your interest in the
Payne bill, someone has figured II
out that the average schoolboy wears
out eighteen to twenty-five pairs OF
stockings year; that the average
girl requires fifteen pairs. and the av-
erage woman uses twelve pairs OF
everyday stockings every twelve
months. The imports Of women's
hosiery, according to the Ways and
Means committee. are E.101,5S9 doz-
on pairs or two pair for each woman
and girl in the country The average
grade Of imported stockings is Of the
value Of IL cents a pair. on which
grade the greatest increase in duty Il
imposed. The relation Of the tariff tc

pie arithmetical problem.

SHERIFF AND coNsTABLEs IN A PREDicAMENT.

The Geclsion e. Judge Campbell in
 T1csOn Saturday. whereby he hebi that .sherihs and consta6les were rot
 ert'tlsd 10 fees where they make an
 arrest without warrant, no matter what the distance travelled, has placed tigs above Gned peace officers in | predIcament. from which there is no apparent escape until the newt session or tae legislature at least. To ir,as-
 trate: Suppose a horse is stolen at night time in Bisbee. The constable or deputy sheriff learns of the theft
 few minutes after it's occurrence. He mounts his horse and gives chase and oyerhauls the horse thief close to
 the New Mexico line, bringing his prisoner back to Bisbee and lodges him in jail, after an absence of three days and nights and after having travelled in the neighborhood of two hundred miles. The next morning he goes into justice court and swears out a warrant for his arrest and he is hduiSu DSLOlt lHS COuTi Ou lHlS war rant. According to the decision of Judge Campbell, and there is no req son to doubt that the decision is em- minently correct under the statute, the peace officer would be entitled to $2.00 and no more for his three days absence, the mileage travelled, and the expenses of the trip, because, for sooth, he did not have a warrant in his pocket at the time of making the arrest

It is claimed that the Heney crowd threw out more than enough votes which had reen cast for Fickert to give the nomina- tion to Heney. Fickert won the nomination for his office on both tho republican and union labor tickets, so that whether Heney be allowed to remain on the democratic ticket or not will hardly effect the result in the general election, as it is gen orally conceded that Heney is a dead one in San Francisco.

GOOD PRORESS IS
 MADE ON TRACKAGE

ID line with the vast extension of the S. P lines in Mexico is work at present underway on the NogaTes branch of the c. R. L & P. Between NCgales and Hermosillo, for dis tance of no miles, the old time light trackage is being replaced with stan dard rails.
 This work, which was begun in Feb rurary, is proceeding very satisfac- torfIy according to Superintendent Joel Temple, about one-third having been completed to this time It is ex- pected that the work will occupy very nearly year longer. The steel em- ployed to this time was laid several years ago and was of the obsolete ffty-pound to the running foot va- riety, far too light for the heavy traf- tlc of today. The average engine in use on the road weighs 60,OOO pounds, while freight cars when loaded weigh about 100000 pounds, and can be load ed 10000 pounds heavier if crowded to actual capacity.
