TURKEY INCREASES CUSTOMS.
Takes Advantage of the AbroEa-
tion by Her of CapItuIatIoas.

AS anticipated. Turkey took advantage
Of the abrogatiOn by her of the capitula-
tions with the powers to increase her
customs duties. Ambassador Morgan
thau' at Canstantinople, yesterday noti-
fed the State Department that a new
schedule had been put into effect
The United States informed the Turk
ish government some weeks ago that It
did not recognize the right OF Turkey to
abrogate the capitulations. and that it
reserved the right to discuss the matter
further at a later date. Most of the
other powers similarly affected by the
Turkish action, with the exception of
Germany, lodged similar notices Of OBJ
lection with the Ottoman government,
and it is expected that Turkey will be
called upon to rescind her action after
the European wars are ended
Secretary Bryan was much impressed
with report from Ambassador Horgan-
thau stating that he and the Turkish
Minister Of War had just returned from
Roberts College, where arrangements
were made for the matriculation Of the
minister's brother and two OF his sons

Mr.. Oldroyd then came to Washington
in 1893, establishing the Lincoln collection
in the 10Th street house, owned by Fred
Schade. who had bought it from the
Petersen estate. The man most closely
identified in Congress with having the gov
eminent purchase the house and colec-
ton was Representative Savers of Texas.
He divided the plan into two parts, one
to have Congress purchase the house. and
then the collection. The first part OF the
plan succeeded and in 1887 Mr.. Savers.
under suspension of the rules. introduced
his resolution for the purchase of the
house. There was no objection. He would
have pressed the remainder of the pro-
gram but he was elected Governor of
Texas and left Washington. The propo-
sition for the purchase of the house
encountered no opposition in the Senate.
Thus. the United States owns the house.
but Mr.. Oldroyd still owns the collection.
