Leader Of Young Turks Wants Abdul
Hamid's Cash for Army.
Constantinople, May IA differ
epce of opinion has arisen between
Schefket Pasha, commander of the
constitutionalist army that entered
Constantinople April "a, and the pres.
ent cabinet.
Schefket Pasha is of the opinion
that the cash found in the imperial
palace Of Yildiz after the expulsion of
Abdul Hamid should be used to pay
the expenses of his army, while the
ministers want the money turned into
the national treasury. The funds in
question now amount to almost ST.
O00, 900 in cash and Immediately mar
ketable securities. Schefket Pasha
has one advantage in the controversy,
inasmuch as the money is in the pos
session of the military and has been
deposited in the war Office.

MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE.

Incident Of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Midtown,
near Calais, went out into the coun.

while they communed with nature
some little distance away, according
TO the Kennebec Journal. They were

ing OF their steed and upon reach.
Ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-
counter between a bull moose and the
horse. The monarch of the forest Just
happened along and found the horse
encroaching upon his domain and
very naturally resented the intrusion.
He made a run for the unfortunate
steed and bow-on collision was al
most sure thing, when the old
horses fighting blood got up and,
instead Of waiting to be rammed like
fishing boat In a fog, he stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose a swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet. Both animals sat down
suddenly to think the matter over, the
moose from the surprise of the shock,
and the horse because he lost his
balance, and 1t would doubtless have
gone hard with the latter, which was
incumbered with the harness and rig.

the forest king with yells just as hol
