has. gone violently insane, has killed
two Of his wives and is confined in
irons.
The murder of the to women, who
were among those who accompanied
Abdul Hamid from Constantinople
when he was eXiled by the Young
Turks, was particularly brutal. He
chOked ore of them to death with his
own hands and dashed the other so
violently against the wall that she
died few hours later
The exile was subdued only after a
fierce struggle in which he himself
was severity injured.
When Abdul was sent to the villa
here his suite, which was allowed to

five lady housekeepers, privileged to
go out of the harem, two princes, his

Defeat Of Reciprocity
ACTION BY NlTI0NaL GRANGE

Million Farmers Expected to Indorse
Action CT Legislative Committee In
Opening Fight Against Measure
Which Is Declared 70 Be Contrary

duction of Tariff or None Is Wanted
New York, Feb 6.-The machin
cry OF the national grange, an organi-
cation claiming a membership of l.
600 900 farmers in thirty states, has
been started to defeat the ratification
by congress of the Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement.
The legislative committee of the
grange, at a special meeting at the
Hotel Manhattan, adopted resolu-
ton protesting against the enactment
of the reciprocity bill, ca,.ed upon the
membership to exert pressure upon
congressman from their various dis
tricts to vote against t. g measure and
decided to go to Washington to map
out a campaign there.
The legislative committee is COM
posed of three members. Ex-Gov-
ernor Nahum J. Bachelor of Con-
cord, N. H., chairman; Aaron Jones
Of South Bend, Ind. and T. c. Alike
son of Morgantown, w. Va.
AS soon as the terms of the pro-
posed treaty became public they ex-
changed kilograms, agreed upon New
York as meeting place and left their
homes without delay to head off any
possible campaign that might possibly
be started for the bills enactment.
Mr.. Bachelor said that the national
body was composed Of $500 oranges
scattered throughout the northern half
of the United States from Maine to
California, and that it was his opinion
that the oranges would support the
committee unanimously.
I'VE are not opposed to a general
reduction of the tariff >" Atkeson said
but we are opposed to any arrange
ment which will make fish of one in

the tariff, yes; but do it all at once
and not by a reciprocal treaty with 6
country which exports agricultural

Remove the tariff on steel and iror
and manufactured articles along with
farm products, and we won't object
But we don't think it fair to compe
the farmers to compete with foreign
| products and allow the manufacturers
to derive the benefits of a high pro
tective tariff.
Acting along these lines, we have
decided to oppose the enactment of the
| bill. The committee issued a state
ment which will be sent to every one
of the $500 oranges in the organiza
ton. These have a membership o
from fifty to 100 farmers each. W.

Capital of island of Billion, East In
dies, PiIIaged by Chinese

Batavia, Java, Feb. 6.-There has
been a serious outbreak among the
Chinese on the island of Billion The
capital, Tanning Pandan, was looted
and burned and the chief administrat-
or and others murdered. Troops have
been sent to the scene.
The island of Billion lies east of
Banka and west of Borneo, with the
Java sea to the south, and has an area
of about $500 square miles. Since
1852, soon after the discovery of tin
there the Dutch authorities have given
SPECIAL attention to the island, and it
has formed a separate residency.
