GRAND VIZIER PLAYS
OLD SULTAN'S GAME
Hilmi PaSha Tries to Save
Power by Setting Nations
Against Each Other.

CONSTANTINOPDE, July I-it
Hilmi Pasha is successful in his struggle
to maintain his power as grand vizier
and prevent the overthrow Of his min
istry, the gravest European compiled
tons are likely to follow 1t has been
learned on the highest authority that
Hilmi Pasha is placing his power at
stake on the probability of obtaining
the support Of Germany for Turkey
against Russia and England in the
Persian situation.
It was generally believed that the dan
ger to the HiImi Pasha administration
was due to the troubles over Crete. but
it has developed that the opposition de-
pended mainly upon the state OF affairs
brought about by a secret note from
the Anglo-Russian alliance in Persia,
peremptorily demanding that Turkey
evacuate the Urumiah district Of Persia
Hilmi Pasha has been maintaining a
Turkish force in the Urumiah district,
on the edge of the province of Aver
bitan, just over the Turkish border. on
the strength of an old boundary dispute
between Turkey and Persia. Turkey
generally was dissatisfied with the fail
ure of the government to take advantage
of the Persian civil war to strengthen
the Turkish position there. and Hilmi
was forced to maintain the troops In
Urumiah 20 please public opinion. The
demand IF Russia and England that the
troops be removed has concentrated
public opposition to the grand vizier.
Hllna Pasha STAYED off disaster for a
time by proving that he had virtually
closed a treaty with Bulgaria whereby
the latter vas to aid Turkey, in the inn
pending war with Greece over the
Cretain situation. The lessening of the
tension over Crete, however, destroyed
the effect OF this coup, and the OppOsi-
ton has gained strength.
Now Hilmi, TO bolster up his failing
power, is seeking the promise of Ger
many to support him In defying Russia
and England in Persia If he is sue
cessful in this. he viii become the
leading statesman OF Turkey.
Hilmi's ylans threaten to further com
plicate the already tangled affairs OF
southern Europe and Asia Minor, and
the mine which is always primed in
| European affairs may be set of by his
efforts to keep himself in power.

THE TRESTATE TOMATO
PACK AND CORN CROP

Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey, with a few counties in Vir-
ginia, pack 70 per cent of the can.
ned tomatoes of the United States,
according to report made by Brad
street. Last seasons s pack, the re-
port goes on to say, was about I3,
900, 900 cases, so it will be readily
seen that this industry is an impor-
tant one. Information gathered
from various counties in Maryland
and Delaware indicates that the
tomatO-packing season is at its
height, but the condition of the raw
material in various counties varies
materially. In WicOmico it is re-
ported that about IS per cent of
last years pack will be the limit,
due largely to curtailed acreage; in
Somerset the yield is reported short,
not over so per cent of that of 1907
and 1908, due, it is said, to blight;
in some sections of Caroline the
yield is reported about on an aver
age of the past two years. DOrches-
ter county reports about 2oper cent |
short of 1907 and 1908, while in !
other sections of the same county /
he acreage has been curtailed. In
other sections of theState it appears
hat there is a curtailment Of the
lsual acreage.
Reports from Delaware differ ma
In one important section
is said that the crop is as good as
n 1907, when they had large
.creage and a full crop, claiming in
hat particular section 40 per cent
etter than last year. In other {
ections fruit is ripening very slowly
nd later than the last two years. Il
