ABDUL HAD MANY SPIES.
Archives of Corruption and Intrigue
Yield $50 Cases of Reports to
the SuIfan


Constantinople.-It will be remem-
bered that when the Young Turks
captured Yildiz last year, besides
jewels and treasures they entered in
to possession of the whole collection
of secret reports and delations which
had accumulated there during over a
quarter of a century, thanks to the
activity and industry of Abdul Ha-
mid's secret agents. These archives
of treachery. corruption and intrigue
have not yet even been counted, but
their bulk fills 800 odd cases which
have been stored at the war office.
a special commission is at pres
ent engaged in classifying and regis
tering these reports, but has been
able to examine only about half so
far. This heritage of the old regime
is threatening to prove regular PAN
dora's box for the new government
The archives contain evidence and
records of the shame of so many Of
ficials and others who yield to the
corruption Of the secret service that
their publication would create in
credible confusion and general con-
sternation.
Very few officials under Abdul Ea-
mid were able to resist the tempta-
ton to do a little spy work-it was
one of the only ways of securing ad-
vancement, and it is stated that many
deputies, senators, ambassadors, even
ministers, as we'll as numerous less
important officials have cause to
dread the relevations of the Yildiz
archives.

Feminists' Friends Lost.

Nienna.-There is little comfort for
feminists in reports of the role played
by women in the Hungarian elections.
1t is stated by the Zeit that every
candidate who was assisted by women
workers failed. This was the case
whether they supported the candi-
date of the frenzied and sanguinary
opposition or devoted themselves to a
pious and refined representative of
the government"
The moral is, according to the de-
feated candidates, that the lovely
Magyar women should remain in
church on election days and allow the
men to fight the political battles un-
hampered.
