Shown In a Quaint Reason For Not
 Delivering a Message.
 An interview in the New York Sun between one of its reporters and Mir. Bedros Keljik bears humOrously on the Turkish situation and seems to in- dicate that what Is needed Is not in- creased political activity, but more at- tentiou to business. As an fllustra- ton of the everyday torpor one of the experiences of pr. Riza Tewhk, mem Der of parliament for AdrianOple, with a Turkish official may be cited.
 pr. Tewhk was visiting a friend at Kade Eony. across the Bosporus. About 10 o'clock at night he heard the watchman call. ''Yangin var, Gala tada yangin varr' C''There is fire, there Is fire in Galatap), the usual alarm given when tire breaks out in any quarter.
 It happened that pr. Tewflk's own home was in Galata. and be rushed to the nearest telegraph office to in- Quire concerning the safety of his family. He received DO answer to his telegram, and bis fears were reused. But as no boats cross the BOspoTus at night he was obliged to wait till morn ing.
 He got home at last to find every thing safe. When be asked why hIs. family had not answered the telegram. be was told that they had not received any. So. pr. Tewtik went to the tele- graph office and demanded an explana- ton.
 One OSman Agha, to whom Dr. Few dk's telegram had been given for de- livery, was called.
 Where Is tue elrendrs telegram"
 OSman Agha fumbed iu his pockets and drew forth the message.
 "Why did you not deliver it" de manded Dr Tewtik anGrily.
 "Oh, etfeudi," answered the impeT- turbable OSman Agha, who had evil dently perused the telegram to his own satisfaction. Tit was needless. knew that your house was not on fire"
