Refugees Crowd Steamers.

Ambassador Rockhill at ConstantinopIe
cabled the State Department under last
nights date that departing steamers from
the Turkish capital are crowded by for
eigners apprehensive of danger. but that
the city was orderly and calm.
American Consul Wood at Tripoli, also
under last nights date cabled that
twelve cruisers were making q demon

precaution has been taken TO preserve
order in the capital and throughout the
provinces.
The Tanin in a violent article today
accuses Italy of acting as an ordinary
briean.-. and says that Turkey will re-
spond with hatred and enmity and the
u.timatum will be the prelude TO the
thunder of cannon. 1t adds:
Turkey is not going to make a pre-
tense OF defending Tripol and accept
peace after the formal exchange of
few cannon shots. From this moment
there will be implacable hatred be-
tween Italians and Turks. Not the
face of an Italian shall be seen in our
towns. Not an Italian flag in our
ports. Vengeance must dominate every
other feeling. For vengeance we shall
live. and we shall succeed"
The government has decided to en-
force martial law in Constantinople for
the present. The population was quiet
this morning. but IL was feared that

Hopeful until the last moment that the

that war had actually been declared he

ment that the crisis had been reached.
though the latest advices from MIR. Rock
hill indicated the existence of degree
OF excitement among the foreign element
in the Turkish capital that presaged a
complete rupture between Italy and
Turkey.
In fact. Mr.. Rockhill appears to have
had much clearer light upon the situa-
ton than did the amha SSador at Rome,
without doubt because of the extra or
binary precautions taken by the Italian
government to prevent the disclosure of
its design to seize Tripoli without giving
Turkey any chance to prepare for the
blow

Gratified by the report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture dealing with Wash
ingtons milk supply, which commends
conditions as a whole. but convinced that
there still is room for improvement the
District Commissioners, it was announced
today, will endeavor to have Congress, at
the coming session. enact legislation pro-
vidng them with more authority for reg
atinS the milk situation.
There is now pending bill introduced
last May by Representative johnson,
chairman Of the House District commit
tee, which would confer upon the Com
missoners the exact authority that they
want. One of the features Of this bill Is
that it would bring ice cream under the
milk regulations. while the District heads
would be authorized to define and estab-
lish standards of milk and make other
regulations.

Latest Style in War.

The declaration of war without notice
to neutral nations is coming to be the
rule instead of the exception in recent
years, the old practice being for the bel
ligerents to first issue to friendly nations
more or less prolix argumentative state
menIs of their respective attitudes before
formally announcing rupture.
1t is said at the State Department that
there can be no objection to such course
had been adopted by Italy in this in
stance, so long as there is no undue in
reference with American commerce or
other interests. 1t is assumed, of course,
that if blockade has been established
by Italy of Tripolitan ports it will be
really what is equivalent to a peaceful
blockade and confined to the turning back
of neutral ships seeking to enter Tripoli
tan ports. without any attempt at seizure.
II is expected tnat due notice of any such
blockade will be given as soon as pos
Sible.

Took Lesson From Japan.

Persons familiar with the conditions
leading up To the Y ar between Japan and
Russia recall the fact that Japan took
the course which is now being follow ed
by Italy in practically beginning hostil-
tiles without warning to her powerful
opponent, and thereby secured a tremen-
douS advantage from a naval point OF
view by preventing the consolidation of
the two sections of the Russian fleet,
which We're lined in the harbors of Port
Arthur and Chemulpo. Korea.
1t is understood that the principal part
of the small Turkish fleet is at present
off the coast of Syria at the extreme
eastern end of the Mediterranean. The
act of Italy in declaring war today is
believed to be with the deliberate pur-
pose of securing warrant under inter
national law for an attack upon that
fleet before il can make its escape and
find refuge in the Bosporous under the
shelter of the powerful shore defenses.
Such a move would leave Italy plenty
of leisure to deal with the comparatively
small Turkish military force in Trlpoli
and TO prevent any reinforcements reach
ing that country from Turkey by water.

It was stated today by the Commission
ers that they will urge upon the House
District committee favorable action on
the Johnson bill and that every. effort will
be made to have the bill become law
at the next session. The bill Is numbered
$685. and was introduced at the request of
the Commissioners.
In the report of the Department of Ag-
riculture. which was issued yesterday,
the health department Is commended for
the work it has done in improving local
conditions with respect to the sale Of
milk. The report points out that the
District health authorities have been
handicapped by having an insufficient
number of inspectors
That provision for the employment of
additional inspectors be included In the
estimates for 1913 has been recommended

heads today would give out no informa-

taken or may take in this respect.
1t is provided in the bill now pending
in Congress that the Commissioners may
request the assistance of the Secretaries
OF the Treasury and Agriculture and that
