Turkish boats were seriously dam

The Turkish cabinet, which had
been for some time insecure, resigned
when war was declared and new
ministry was formed under Said Pa
sha, but retaining the former able war
minister, Mahmoud Shefket Pasha.

Albanian rebels, reported to have

Turkey from a supine spectator to the
bitter aggressor.
In Salonica bloody encounters have
occurred in many places between the
authorities and Italians DESTROYS of
leaving for their own country. In
several other centers fighting has oc-
CURED and Italian boycotts have al
ready been inaugurated in many
cities.
Those revolutionary heroes, Naizi
Bey and Enver Bey, are ready to
march with great bands of volunteers
for Tripoli. Great indignation is felt
against the grand vizier and his cab
met, who are accused of having slum-
bered while Italy was quickly and eff
fectiyely preparing herself. Some pa
pers go so far as to state that the
former vizier. Hakkum Pasha, should
be summoned before a courtmartial.
An official telegram reports the
sinkinging of two Turkish torpedo
boats, the Alphagut and Hamid Abad,
off Prevesa by the Italian squadron.
News of both disaster and victory
reached Constantinople on Sunday.
The fighting spirit of the Turks is
rising to fanatical height. A wire
less message to the admiralty says
that two Italian cruisers have been
sunk off an unnamed point in the
archipelago. 1t is presumed that the
torpedo boats had a hand in this
affair.
An eloquent commentary on the in
dolence of the former cabinet is -
sight Of several Turkish warships
still lying idle in the Golden Horn.
The opinion is held in some quarters
that Turkey will not be able to hold

According to information from dip

Italians in Prevesa is resented by
Austria and Germany, and had much
to do with their reported change of
attitude toward Italy.

Another Sort of Reciprocity

For a long time now there has been
a comparatively free trade between the
United states and Europe OId-worId
titles have been bought freely by Amer
leans. and reciprocally American cash
has been purchased by European mo-
blemen.' The governments have inter
posed no tariff barriers. have not scru-
tinized the goods in transit No customs
official has pried into heraldic tones to
ascertain the genuineness Of the duchies
and municipalities and earldoms and bar
onetcies that have been imported Nor
have English or continental representa-
tives OF the law tested the soundness of
the American securities paid in exchange
for these commodities. AS far as the
actual bargains are concerned. they have
been in the main carried out with scru-
pulous honesty. Yet in the majority Of
cases the American buyer has been
worsted in the transaction. The titles
have. with few exceptions. been sound
but their bearers have, with as few
exceptions. been undesirable citizens If
the American fathers had been buying
men for tibet" daughters. instead OF So
cIal positions. they would have been
shamefuliy cheated.

The accepted theory of the Names de-

circumstances permitted at that time. 1t
was accepted by the country. and with but
few exceptions by the world. The United
States should have proceeded Immediately
after the closing of the Spanish war to
raise the wreck and complete the demon
stration. If possible, that the tragedy
which unquestionably precipitated the
conflict was due to no fault OF its own
officers and to no accident occurring
within the hull Of the ship itself.

Gov. Dix's Fix.

Does Gov. Dix. deep down in his
heart" regret the day he yielded to the
call of politics? Would he if lie could
fling away ambition and return to the
peace and prohtableness of private life?
Has he had enough of the turbulence of
contending factions and the fierce criti-
cisms OF those who but recently were his
eUuberant eulogistS?
He is quoted on both sides of the Shee-
han contest. and Yet declares that he has
not taken either side. The governor is
against Sheehan, and thinks a new caucus
should he held and d new nomination
made, Is the assertion Of anti-Sheehan
men who have discussed the matter with
the governor. The governor is party
man. and knows the obligations of caucus
action. He wants Sheehan elected" This
from the friends of the nominee, who
are frequent callers on the governor.
The appeal to the governor the part
of some OF the anti-Shee chan men is really
droll. it is SO illogical. He is warned
against gammany. and told that Mr..
Sheehan's election would be accepted far
and wide as a Tammany triumph. Mr.
Murphy would he accredited with the
performance. and the new senator tagged

The fact was certified 10 by every news

Join the enemies of the Tammany boss In
the matter OF the senatorship, on the al
legation that senator chosen by Tam
many would discredit and injure the
party? The same influences now behind
Mr.. Sheehan were at Rochester and later
behind him. Should Gov. Dix turn upon
his creator in the days of his official
youth? Has Mr.. Murphy undergone a
sea change and become an Objectionable
character ard supporter since November?
Gov. Dix has not the reason for inter-
fering in New York that Gov Wilson
had in New Jersey. He may be justified
in keeping out OF the fray as we'll as he
may. But certainly not on the score that
he. cannot afford to touch Tammany. II
touching Tammany is defilement, he is
already thoroughly smeared.
