and now a resident of New Lisbon, Wis,
asserts that he has just discovered that
another baby was substituted two days
after the advent of his daughter and with
out the knowledge of the mother In a
letter to the Seattle police Hansen ap-
peals for information as to the where
abouts of his child. In part he writes:
1T has come to my knowledge that a
certain woman whom / hired to take
charge of the house at the birth Of my
first child stole the baby when a couple of
days old and placed in my wifes arms
another child. This l failed to discover,
though l noticed that the color of the
baby's eyes changed from blue to a gray
ish brown. but believed. as the nurse told
me, that it was natural for babies eyes to
change color the first few days.

bees in his grocery store in Cohoes yes

were several customers and the grocer
was obliged to excuse himself until he

ored to drive the bees away, but instead
they drove the grocer out and his GUS

Christian Massacre Planned.

There is no longer any doubt that Abdul
dered a general massacre of Christians in
Constantinople and other parts of the
empire for Friday, April IA, In order to
force the European powers to seize and
occupy the city. In that way he hoped
to save his throne.
This has been repeatedly admitted by
those who were in his confidence at the
time 1t was the last struggle Of despair.
But Shevket Pasha. commander of the
troops that were loyal to the Young
that he was able to attack Constantinople
on the day previous, and thus prevent the
sacrifice of Christian lives and property
at the Turkish capital. similar to that
which took place at Adana, Marash,
Tarsus, Iantab and other places in CEN
trail Turkey.
In every instance an officer of the sui
tap's body guard appeared at the places
where the massacreS took place several
days previous, bringing instructions to
the officials and the police. Several local
officials have since confessed they were
simply carrying out orders received from
Const a ntinopie and therefore are not re-
sponsible for anything that happened
In certain places Moslem priests ap-
peared and preached In the mosques, call
ing upon the people to make holy war
and kill all the Christians, beginning on
the following day.
The mutiny Of the regular army In
Constantinople April Is, 1902 was a part
of the conspiracy. April ii, after the
regular selamlik or worship Of the sultan

Stratus Anxious to Retire.
Mr.. straus makes no secret Of his de-
sire to retire from this embassy and re-
main at home. But he is much needed
here and his resignation or his transfer
would deprive the government and people
Of the United States of the services of
the most useful man who could be found
for the place.
There is going to be trouble here with
the Germans over a concession for about
1000 miles of railway in Asia Minor, al
ready granted to the Ottoman American
Development Company Of New York,
Chester, L. 8. N, retired. And as Mr..
Stratus has been behind the movement
from the beginning it is important that
he should stay with it until the end.
The concession has been granted. The
chamber of deputies would have ratified
it but for the Interference OF Count Won
Beirberstein, German ambassador, who
intimidated the grand vizier and The
minister of public works with threats OF
German hostility. and thus prevented
them from submitting the contract to the
parliament for confirmation.
Germans Will Oppose.
They have promised to submit it at the
opening of the next session In November
But the German bankers, who now con
troll all the railways in Asia Minor an<
have a concession for a road that has al
ready been partially built toward Bag
dad, want a monopoly of the transporta
ton facilities of Asiatic Turkey and arr

cate unless it will go halves with them
The German government disavows an!
interest in the subject. and has assured
DR.. Hill, American ambassador at Berlin
that Count Won Beirberstein was actint
on his own responsibility. 1t has beer
careful not to intimate anything OF thi!
not reprimanded it's ambassador or giveI
him any instructions to drop the matter
This concession is loaded with trouble
If it goes through the government of thu
United States will have to take a deter

Turkey in a disagreeable manner.
There is a struggle between German!
and Austria on the one hand. ant
