 Augusta, Me. Oct. 10.-The pos sibility Of correction of the official figures of the states vote of Sept. II on the question of the repeal ot the constitutional prohibitory amend ment rests entirely upon the ability of the town clerks Of Athens, Lime stone, Matinicus island and West field, and other interested persons, to prove to the governor and council that their original returns were wrong, for yesterday marked the close of the period during which re- quests for corrections could be made and no other towns had been heard from

 Christian For Mere Pleasure
 London. Ost. 9.-Sir William M. Ramsay, discussing the Turkish out look, declared the dividing up of Turkey among the various nations was proceeding steadily. The first stage of the partition was the ar rangsment between Germany and Russia about railways in Eastern Asla1ie Turkey. The next is the Tri- poi affair He added:
 The Young Turks came into power in I90J. and were gladly welcomed by most of the nations Of Europe on the understanding that they would put an end to the helpless and ruinous in capacity of the old Turkish system. A new era was 10 begin. Brother hood, peace and prosperity were to reign ih Turkey. That hope has been disappointed There has been noth- Ing but a series Of small wars since hareh. 1908.
 rThe Young Turks had no possible chance of success without twenty-five years Of mafoEen peace. When the Young Turks chose in 1909 the wrong course and set to work to Ottomanize the empire. forcibly assimilate sep arate natianaHities to the OttemaHs, and spend aa their slreneth in hold ing outlying parts of the empire where thes ea0ld exercise no real au- thority where all Turks were de- tested. and where they eonla derive no benefit The doom of their at tempt. aa ae#t so gallant and in the sequel 70 foolish. was sealed.
 @The fact is that the Turks. In ability to administer or organize has reduced the eastern and southern Mediterranean littoral to desert, where f was formerly d garden. The European nations will not stand this any longer. Cyrenaic aand Tripoli were once prosperous and fertile Parts of that region were extremely rich and useful to the world.
 Now the whole country except four or five small townships Is at the mercy Of Arab barbarians, who would shoot a Christian for pleasure and any man for cents. The land. as whole. lies uncultiyated and use less. No project for improvement has been permitted or passed by the Turks since February, 1909. Such projects for improvement are labelled concessions by important newspa- pers and by persons who call them selves friends of Turkey, but are not her real friends.
 Italy is going to try to stop this stupid ruin in Tripoll, and Italy is right An outbreak of war. how ever, between Turkey and any Chris tian power Is great misfortune to Che whole of Europe and most of all to Turkey. and it's evils are so great that 1 still do not despair of peace be- ing arrived at. ,"

ltaIy's Flag Floats over TripolI

London. Oct. 6.-The Italian nag noals over Sultania fort at rrlpolt, which is occupied by landing parties. Part of the fleet is anchored in the harbnr, and the other warships lie a short distance from the dismantled Qualifications. Few bodies Of Turks have been found among the ruins of the forts and apparently no great number of Turks were killed by the bombardment.
 The cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldl en- tered the harhor and Italian officers visited the Hamidieh battery. They found that the Turks had removed the sights from the guns and evacuated.
 It appears that even after the de- moIition of the forts the Turkish gun ners continued to serve such guns as were available. It became necessary for the warships to train their guns upon the runs. Several private houses were destroyed by fire. but none were struck by the shells. The town has been entirely deserted hy the inhabitants.
