be speaker is right in line with Fair-

the state has furnished many speak-
.ors of late years. and very able ones

. Then came John 11 Perry, of Fair—

Huntington, three in stf'ccession for

lowed him, which brings the record
, down to 1903, showing that out of the
last eleven speakers this county has

Young Turks Masters of the
Situation
(Continued From First Page).
clearness, and It is impossible to fore-
cast the next development. The Young
Turks are masters of the Constanti-
nople and the European provinces. and
except in the capital the feeling is
anything but favorable to the sultan.
Even lli Contsantinople .dlsloyul cries
were heard during the recent street '
demonstrations. At a banquet given
in Sores to celebrate the rte-establish-
ment of the constitution the name of
the sultan was booted, while the
Christians at this place are beginning
to distrust the Young Turks.
Hardly any news has been received
from the Asiatic provinces. and this is
regarded as disquieting. The veil and
th military commandant at Sflyrna
h ve been dismblssed by the Young
Turks owing to their hostile attitude
towards the constitution.
A Young Turk uprising in favor of
the restoration of the constitution h|ld
been planned for September 1, the an-
niversary of the sultan's accession to
the throne, bllt the meeting at Revai
between King Edward and the emper-
or of Russia and the imlninellce of
the Anglo-Russian reform proposals
precipitated llluttcrs and forced the
Young Turks to take action before this
date, the object of the Constitutional
party being to foretsall these proposals
and render them superfluous.
Everybody hits been greatly im-
pressed with the perfect organization
of the movement and the absolute dis-
cipline ill all ranks. The directing
blind is still invisible and unknown.
The only incident of today has been
a noisy delllollstratioil of artillery offl‘
curs and soldiers at the Portc, where
the men gathered together apparently
clamoring for promotion. As it matter
of fact. the object of this demonstra
tion was hostility towards Sf’kkl
Pasha, grand master of the artillery.
whose withdrawal was demanded. '1‘th
hundred army officers have arrived at
Adrianople from Suloniki to replace
the doubtful officers of the Second
Arllly Corps. Selim Melhnnled Pasha,
Minister of Mines and Forests, was
assisted ill getting out of the country
by the littlluu embassy, and this fact
has produced a bad impression among
the liberal Turks. ltllllfllls explain
that the embassy was not aware that
Selim Pasha moditatcd flight. He re«
quested the use of the embassy launch
to embark his son Nlhltd, who was go-
ing to Rome to take up the post of
first secretary III the Ottoman elllbas-
sy, and made use of the bout to get
away himself. The whole Melllulllcd
family is tyiceedillgly unpopular and
the Constitutit’nlai party is anxious to
call them to account for the way they
have enriched themselves. Some of the
foreign illnbusndors are blamed for the
protection and friendship extended to
the Melhameds without which, It. is ur-
guod, they never could have attained
the position and influence they did.
Two of Selim l’nsba's daughters mur-
ried German officers, while a third is
the wife of an ltalian ofllcor. No fur-
ther news has been received of the
fate of Nabib Mclhamed, who. while
trying to escape from the country,
was arrested by some Young Turkey
officers at Mustapba Pasha. Accord-
ing to advices from Sslolliki. lskellder
Melllnnlcd has been condemned to
death by the Young Turk committee,
but this sentence subsequently was
rcprioved.
NEW YORK, July 30.~Thc Sultan
of Turkey, through the Turkish cell-
sul general ill this city, Mundii Der.

ROADoWORK SATISFACTORY.
Only Trouble Is That the Selectmen
Do Not Get Enough Funds.
Town Engineer 'Chdrles N. Wood
went to Connecticut avenue. yesterday
afternoon, and looked over the repair-
ing and work which is being done by
the town, and states that everything is
first class. He fully approves of the
way in which it is being carried along.
The public is doing some protesting
as to the condition of the tools then
oughfares, bllt evéryghlng is being
done that is possible with the money
appropriated for the purpose.
Each year it is a smaller amount.
and it is a recognized fact that ill
these times with the swiftly moving
autos and increased travel the roads
wear out. about three times as quickly
as ill former ‘days.
The people put up such a protest
about the condition of Connecticut
avenue that, the sclectnlen arc repair-
ing this and putting it in good condi-
tion. but when this is done the monci'
will practically be exhausted.
The end of the fiscal year is of
course near at hand but next year thc
amlloprintion is even smaller than the
present year.
The selectmen asked for 815,000 for
next year for care of the town high-
ways. and were given $9.000. Tile sc-
lectlllcn state that each year their
amount is cut down, while the schools.
«to, are given a larger appropriation.
Yet the people expect that the roads
can be ill Ill‘EIrClllEtl condition, with no
money with which to do it.
Many specimens of unconscious illi-
mor are received bv the editors of that
lllolllnllental work, the new imperial
(iazcttc of India. A district was said
to be “an extensive rolling plain, con-
sisting of alternate ridges of bare
stony hills and narrow fertile valleys."
