seen yesterday outside jewelers.
shop near the Royal Exchange. This
American, who wishes his name with
held for the present, told the police
he knew Ling IN New York and that
he was confident the Chinaman he saw
yesterday was Ling. When the Amer
lean caught sight OF Ling, he went up
to a policeman standing nearby and
said:
That man Is wanted for murder in

declared he undoubtedly was the man
he saw. He gave the police full des-
crption of the European clothes worn

able to SECURE for the empire better
standing in Crete. The recent decision
in regard to the government of the is

wants an explanation why the Turkish

bellion to better account. The Sultan
believes Russia is back OF 1t. He thinks
Turkey might have had hand in I'M

should he conclude to seek the Elev-

come easy to past grand exalted rulers

fact generally aided in their political
success.

more attractive than denomination
