JEFFRIEs TALKS A BIT.

NEW YORK, August 4.-Jim Jeffries
got to talking over his state of mind
at the Hotel Albany today:

to fight for, of COURSE said he. q / IN
a business man, and [ want side bet
from johnson, if 1 can get it. And as
big as he can cover. That IS business,
too. But what I want most is to get
that big buck in a ring. l want to
get to him, that's ALL I'll fight him
for no side bet at all if I can't get
him any other way" Someone asked
JEFF if he was sore at johnson.
"Well," he finally said, "well, IN
not going to say 4 m pleased to meet
you when we get in the ring"
Everyone has read of Jeff's magnifi-
cent condition. But it still comes as
rather surprise to see what a big
man he is, now that he has got rid

JEFF s weight is mostly bone and

thick and hairy as a government mule s

tell you, no man on earth who stands

THE RI Vol UIION m TURKEY.
II story Is repeating itself in Tur

3tF'F FN'' - INV 49, =
tuition Of the Young Turks and
the cstabi Shment Of constitutional
government, 10 which the devious
old Sultan, Abdul Hamid, agreed
with a suayity which led critics who
were familiar with the past to pre-
dict trouble for the future. All this
had happened before, says the New
Orleans Item.
Then followed the turbulence OF
RoumeIia and the Danube provinces
under the wing Of Austria, the gath
ering Of the powers, the alternate
talk Of war and harmonious con
cert. All this had happened be
fore, also, and the Sultan had played
his same part With conspicuous sue
cess. In the former case he had
brought on a war which effectually
killed the feeble chances Of the con-
stitutionalists.
The Young Turks remembered
these things and wisely steered
clear of foreign war.
Then history repeated itself once
more, and a portion of the army
started . revolution against the rev.
olutionlsts, the old regime took arms
against the liberal policy. Here
was a situation so critical that only
craftsmanship and almost perfect
military organization in the camp
of the constitutional party could
hope to save the new, free govern
ment from wreck.
The result has demonstrated sew
eral things-that the Young Turk
party is the product Of an evolution
rather than a revolution, that it
really controls the empire, that it
has reformed the Turkish method
of fighting as well as governing,
and that apparently history will fail
to repeat itself in the one final and
supreme detail--the sovereignty of
greatest of the Moslem peoples.
The Sultan caused the revolt of a
portion of the army. Therefore the
Sultan must be deposed, but the
deposition must be done without
disturbing the sensitive balance of
peace among the nations, without
throwing the whole country into
civil war, if possible, and withou.
rousing certain religious prejudices
which the lower masses of the Turk
ish people still seem to retain to-
ward the Sultan as representative of
the Prophet.
The way the Young Turks have
gone about their work 80 far is most
remarkable. For several days the
capitaly with the Sultan in it, has
been surrounded with constitutional
troops who hold the place at their
mercy. Yet no report has come of
loot, or rape or wanton killing. The
organization has apparently been
perfect and the leaders have not lost
sight of the real business they had
TO do.
Even in the fighting, which was
precipitated Saturday morning, dur
ing which a thousand men were
killed in three hours, perfect order
prevailed in the city lad noncom-
batants we're unmolested.
If the Young Turks can maintain
this order and hold thus undeviat-
ingly to their true course, we may
see Turkey a democracy in more
than the name, and the powers of
Europe may breathe freely when it
is all over and the Sick Man has alb
dicated to his physician.
