GRAFT IN REALM OF SULTAN
Words Of Warning for Americans Who
May Be Thinking Of Investing
Money There.

Those who have been reading the
reports of our consuls in Turkey
concerning the chances for American
capital and enterprise in that coun-
try under the new regime would bet
ter glance at the published reports
OF Sir William Willcocks, the Eng
lish engineer who is being employed
at present 10 do for Turkey what he
did for Egypt in the matter Of irri-
CATION and water supply. Sir Will
liam warns capitalists and contract
ors against the extraordinary amount
of graft and corruption which is TO
be found in the provinces among all
the minor local authorities. Many
of the old restrictions have been re-
moved, but the Turk has not yet rid
himself of that wonderful habit Of
looking at his own pocket twice be-
fore he thinks Of honesty. Sir VIII
liam Willcocks is the engineer who
built the Assuan dam and had
charge Of public works in India and
Egypt for respective periods.

SUGAR FUEL FOR MOTORS.

Suggestions are being made 90 the

elsewhere that industrial alcohol.

gines, might be distilled from their
surplus stock Of molasse2 Accord
ing to the experiments made IN the
United States, says the Dundee ADJ
yertiser where the output of beet
and cane sugar combined reaches
some 100000 tons. about one gallon
of industrial alcohol can be obtained
from three gallons OF molasses. and
as the price Of the latter is quite
nominal on most large sugar es-
tates, the alcohol would be cheap.
Launches on South American and
African rivers, which must al pres

lengthy process Of cutting timber for

would be in many ways welcome in

the work of the world.
The Constitutional Program.
The plan for the reorganization Of
China was discussed in connection
It was finally laid out by the great
dowager, assisted by Yuan Shin Kai.
Chang Chi Tung and other leading
officials. Wy Ting-fang, the Chinese
minister at Washington, had to do
with it, and nearly every governor and
vlceroy sent in suggestions n advice
in the form of memorials. The plans
brought back by Tuan Fang and his
associates from Europe were thor
oughly studied, and a scheme Of local,
provincial and national government
was laid out. This was first put
forth in the edicts Of the empress
dowager in August, 1908, and the peo-
pie at once began to put them into
action. The work was proceeding in
every province at the time Of the
deaths Of the great dowager and en-
peror last November, and one Of
the first proclamations of the new ad-
m~lnlstratlOn was that these cOnstitu-
tional reforms should be still carried
on. The prince regent has an
nounced himself in favor Of them. and
is most active in their support.
The program now in force extends
over nine years. The first year is
devoted to the preparation Of the peo-
pie for the provincial assemblies by
the viceroys m governors, including
the opening Of schools for the study
ing Of self-government in the cities,
market towns and villages.
During the second year members are
to be elected to the provincial assem-
blies, and in the third they are to be
organized and in working order.
By the fourth year there will be a
new code of laws and new courts, and
in the fifth q new system of taxation
will be enforced.
The sixth year continues the prep
aration of the people for the national
parliament, and during the seventh
the reorganization of the government
revenues and expenditures will be
taken up.
The year following the officials will
begin to consider the imperial house
hold expenses; they will establish a
judicial bureau and will begin to is
sue certificates.
In the ninth year the imperial con-
%stitution will be finally enforced and
the imperial parliament will be in ses-
sion here at Peking
