FORMER BIG LOSS.
At the time of the Pennsylvania Railroad

compelled to pay strike losses aggregating s21,-

The proceedings are in the nature of a tax

eide whether the interests of the county are not
being endangered by its continuance. Pending
decision on that point, the court is asked to pro-
hibit practices likely to incite TO violence A
hearing the case will probably be held on
Tuesday.
The suspension Of all hostilities by the strlk-
ers has caused marked change Of sentiment in
their favor and public opinion now looks upon
the simultaneous marching out of nearly six
thousand men not bound together by any labor
organization or union as significant Of the eN-
istence Of conditions that had become intol-
erable
There are endless stories Of oppression and
tyranny being told, and the documentary evil
dence furnished by the strikers in the form OF
paw envelopes bearing the number of hours or
service rendered and the amount Of money paid
eoduently refutes the assertion made by the Of
ficials of the company that II cents an hour
constituted the minimum wage paid TO any en-
.ploye.
The chief grievance Of the strikers. however.
is not the smaIlness Of the rate an hour, but the
lack Of a fixed hourly rate. The wage system.

the pooling system. and which is alto
gether incomprehensible IN the Hungarans.

upon with suspicion by all the workmen. Under
the present system, the men cannot question
the correctness Of the aggregate sums which
paid them every other week. and which are
computed according to the volume Of piece work
turned out. They know. however. that they
have worked so many hours and that the
amount paid them not infrequenty represents
pay AT the rate of 30 or 80 cents day.

PARIS HEARS BAD NEWS.

Paris, April 1S.-Advices from Con- stantinOple state the situation in Adana has become much worse. and that a number of cities have been burned and Tarsus has been almost plotted out. The dispatches further stated that a French factory had been sacked, and that the peasants were coming down from the mountains and massacreing the Armenians.
 The Constantinople correspondent of the Temps says General Izzet Fuas. former Turkish minister at Madrid, has been killed because he was a member of the committee of union and prog ress. The police are searching for all members of the committee. A delega- tion of three generals was sent down to Chalaja to meet the troops coming from Salonika and persuade them to turn back Their efforts were futile. and the generals have returned to Con- stantinople.

LEASES NOW APPROVED WAY
Transactions Running Into Millions Cause the Adop- ton of Twentieth Century Methods In Real Estate Finance.

Chicago. April lS.-It is easier to buy a railroad system now than a block of business property in any of the cities. The reason is that a con- trolling interest in a railroad can be bought if one has the proper num- Der Of millions to invest. but the most valuable real estate is no longer bought and sold at any figure-it is leased. This k one of the latest and most important developments of the credit system, which is today bring ing about a revolution in many methods of business finance
 Half the new buildings in Chicago are put up on leased ground, accord- ing to real estate men here and out right sales of big city corners are now getting scarce. An entire new branch of the real estate business has been created to handle these transac- ticns. with special brokers who deal in leases instead of deeds and trust companies that safeguard the various parties at interest. In another ten years the practice will become uni VCTSal. it is asserted, at least as far as the most important property is concerned.
 The concentration of business in the big cities and the enormous rise in real estate values is partly re- sponsible for this. The capitalist or business man who wants to put up

Constantinople. April 1S.-Conflrma- tion has been received of the killing at Adana of two American missionaries, Rogers and Maurer. The others at the mission are safe at Tarsus. Three French warships are hurrying to Mer- sina, where the situation is desperate Foreigners and Christians have taken refuge in the consulates.
 The local troops and governor are doing their best to protect the town. but there is great fear that it cannot hold out much longer against the in vasion of MOslems, who are sweeping down in large numbers. The Ameri- can vice consul at Mersina, John Dab bas. was unable to proceed to Adana owing to interruptions of communica- tions
 A British warship will proceed to Alexandretta. which is threatened by Moslems. At Kharput alarm is felt be- cause the Kurds in the surrounding villages are committing serious depre- datiOns The tension in COnstantinople is still very great. People are greatly concerned over the continued advance ment of the Salonika troops. The army, which is concentrating at Tscha- talje. has promised not to enter Con stantinople, but to await there the full fillment of its demands.
 The ministers have taken the de- mands of the troops under advisement. They will be difficult to meet. and will cause serious trouble if granted. The aftx ic frun hut tho nannla exceedingly nervous and apprehensive
 At today's sitting. Mustapha Effendi was elected president of the chamber of deputies. The chamber resolved to send deputation to the garrison bar racks and explain to the soldiers the evil results of disobedience.
 The missionaries at Adana are re- ported to be suffering from lack of provisions and medicine. Adana is still burning. and it is reported that 5000 are homeless at Tarsus.
 The government has issued q denial of the reported establishment of a cen sorship. and the reappearance of the spies of the old government, as we'll as a strong denial that officers of the committee of union ard progress or of the army have been murdered. Prominent army and navy officers have fled from the country and others are in hiding A large number of timid people is<leaving the city.
 Details of the lynching of the com mander of the battleship Assar-I-Tew- fig. whose name was Ali Kabuli, and not Arif Bey, as was reported, have been learned. 0n "Wednesday night he assembled the recruits before the guns and explained how they should be fired. Then he trained the guns on Yildiz Kiosk and instructed the recruits that they must fire at his order or be an initiated. while the crew was asleep.
 The quartermaster overheard the conversation and informed the crew, who seized the commander as traitor. He was taken to the war office and at tempted to escape, but he was seized and ordered to the guardhOuse to await trial. On the way there he was lynched.
 More than one thousand persons have been killed at Tarsus and massacres and incendiarism continue.

new hotel or a skyscraper does not always find it easy or convenient to sink a cool million or two or dollars in the site alone. Instead he forms syndicate and buys ths>right to use the necessary property for a period of 99 years, for which he pays fixed rental, usually increasing in amount every stated number of years. Deposits to insure the carrying out of the contract are put in the hands of a trust company, which is often called on to act as umpire in cases of unforeseen dispute, and the owner of the land settles back in his chair with the comfortable assurance that he and his heirs will continue to draw a definite income for the next century.
 The record transaction of this na- ture is a lease that was made in Chicago yesterday for a period of 1S0 years. Leases for such a period as this are not impossible, though they are not the rule" said an off cer of the Western Trust and Say ings Bank of Chicago, which has played a leading part in this develop ment. The usual life of a lease Is 99 years, and the old custom of re- valuation has been largely replaced by provisions for a sliding scale of rental. whereby the owner of the property is assured a definite return which takes into account the prob able increase in value. In this way bonds can be issued with perfect cer- tainty and more and more bond is
  The trust company, with it's stability and continued life, is an important factor in such arrangements. Inter- est payments and usually insurance premiums are paid through the com pany, as well as deposits to protect the lessors, and the transfer of leases is made easy and automatic. A man who makes a lease of city property in these days usually expects that the lease will change hands many times during its life"
 Actual figures of the value of mod ern city property, based on recent are an interesting com mentary on the growth of the country in the last ten or twenty years. The highest mark in Chicago was reached about two years ago, when a lot on Jackson boulevard was leased on the basis of S3O,0O0 a front foot. Rentals of S10O,00O a year or over,are by no means rare. The rental of the new La Sale Hotel site, is set at 800, 500 after the first two years, which is considered low for the property. The most valuable spot in Chicago, and probably in the entire country out side of New York City. has been of ficially fixed by the Board of Review as on State street at the corner of Madison, in the heart of the retail district.

THE SENATE DEBATE TODAY
Democratic Objection to the Measure Is That It Is Not a Sufficient Revenue Pro- ducer--Must Be Supple mented by Income Tax.

Washington. April 1S.-The tariff debate in the senate will begin tomor- row immediately at the close of rou- tine business. Mir. Aldrich. chairman of the committee on finance. will make a general statement supporting the bill and will be followed by MT Dan iel, who will outlise the democratic position. Mir. Aldrich will explain the various changes made by his commit tee and he will undertake to show that the bill as reported will be a strong revenue producer.
 Mir. Daniel and other democrats will take the opposite view. They will de- clare that the weakness of the Payne Aldrieh bill is that it will not insure sufficient income to permit govern mental business to proceed without the addition of other features. The democrats will urge the income tax as the most rational and prolific means of increasing receipts. They will have the support of some of the republican senators but not the support of any members of the committee on finance.
 There will be a sharp dividing line between the general debate and the discussions of amendments to the schedules. Both sides express great anxiety for an early disposition of the measure.
 Among the republicans who will speak are Messrs. Lodge. Hale. Brown. Carter. Cummins, Heyburn. McCum- Der, Nelson and Smith of Michigan. The democratic orators will include MeSSrs Bailey Bacon Rankhead Clay Gore. Johnston. Money, Newlands. Rayner and Smith of North Carolina.
 The house will be in session on Monday and Tuesday but no business will be transacted either day beyond providing for the next census. The conference report on the census bill win receive the consideration of both houses.
