ABDUL HAMID THE CRAFTY. I

Volley of Delay.
From the Chicago Tribune.
In their efforts to compel the Sultan of
-Turk* >' 10 P a y long-overdue claims for
• r .t. utility. President McKinley and Sec
ljry Hay have entered upon a struggle
with the past grand master of the Fa-
an school of diplomacy. Abdul Hamidd
U is far and away the craftiest and most
and ~-jnK ruler in the old world. His finesse,
skill cunning, boldness have been con
ei.niU.v exercised in contests with the
uin , st statesmen of Europe for a quar
ur of a century, and, while he has not
aln .ys come oft victor, he has won more
frequently than he has lost.
At*, Iti 1 Hamid is a Turk and Mussul
nsan „f the old school. He is fifty-eight
y.. ;11 > of age, and the innovations of mod
,r!i civilization have left little impression
him. He rules Turkey as his prelie
0, ...ms ruled it, and has only yielded
’grtii'.-ing'y to the progress of the age.
11,. became the ruler of the Ottoman
em .,;r, in August, 1876, at a moment when
* hi and Bulgarian provinces were
in th, r, volt which immediately preceded
, i a ko-Bussiun war, and when the
mi .1 powers of Europe were exert
.tin :r inmost pressure to compel Tur
key to adopt new policits.

in Europe hung only by a thread.

American policy, held aloof. President
Cleveland, however, did direct American
Consul -General Jewell to accompany the
commission and make a report to the
United States government from the evi
dence gathered by the delegates of the
powers. The Sultan refused Consul Gen
eral Jewell’s permission to make such a
report. Great Britain was compelled to
act jointly with the powers. Asa result
British claims for Indemnity have been
Involved with a mass of general claims
and the demands of the United States were
lost sight of.
In 1895 the powers again joined in a con
certed effort to compel the Sultan to con
sent to reforms in the administration of
Armenia. Great Britain favored a naval
demonstration and sent a fleet to the en
trance of the Dardanelles. The Suited
promptly appealed to Russia, asserting
that England contemplated the seizure of
territory in Asia Minor. Russia and
France, both interested in Asia Minor,
naturally refused to indorse a policy of
force and the European concert was again
broken.
In 1896 Great Britain threatened the Sul
tan with the occupation of Constantinople
until the reforms in Armenia were put
in operation. The Sultan replied 1 to the
threat by asking the Czar to appoint offi
cers to inspect end strengthen ..ue forti
fications of the Dardanelles and giving
the Russian fleet permission to pass
through the Bosphorus. Great Britain
was again balked.
Just at present Turkey is unquestionably
under Russian influence, and. It is be
lieved that if the United States pushes
its demands to the extent of making a
show of force the Sultan will promptly
appeal to the Czar.
THE PRIVACY OF THE. SEA.
*” ™ •
l.aiulHmo-ii Have nn Inailetinate Idea
of I.m Vantneu.
F. T. Bullen In the London Spectator.
Whether expressed or implied, there is
certainly a deep-rooted idea in the minds
of shore dwellers that the vast fenceless
'fields of ocean are in these latter days
well, not to say thickly, populated by
ships; that, sail or steam whither you will,
you cannot get away from the w'hite
giint of a sailing ship or the black smear
along the clear sky of a steamship's
smoke. There is every excuse for such
an attitude of mind on the part of land
ward folk. Having no standard of com
parison against which to range the vast
lonely breadths of wate,r which make up
the universal h-ghway, and be-ng mightily
impressed by the statistics of shipping,
owned by maritime nations, they can
hardly be blamed for supposing that the
privacy of the sea is a thing of the past.
One voyage in a sailing ship to the Aus
tralasian colonies or to India, if the op
portunities afforded were rightly used,
would do far more to convince them of
the utteily wrong notion poss ss ng them,
than any quantity of writing upon the
subject would do. But unhappily, few
people to-day have the leisure or the in
clination to spend voluntarily three
months upon a sea passage that can he
performed in li-ties ntor" than one. Even
those who by reason of poverty or for
their health’s sake do take such pas-ages,
almost invariably show signs of utter
weariness, and boredom. As diy after
day passes, and the beautiful fabric in
which they live glides gently and leisure
ly forward, their impatience grows until
in some it almost amounts to a disease.
This c ndlticn of mind is net favorable,
to say the least, to a calm study of the
characteristic features of ocean Itself.
Few. indeed, ar- the passengers and
fewer still are the s.iHors who will for
tiie delight of the thing spend hour after
hour perched upon some commanding
point in wide-eyed sight s rengthening
gaze out unon the far- of the sea.
Upon those who do there grows s eadily
a tense of the most complete privacy, a
solemn aloofness belonging to the seas.
The infrequent vessel, gentle though her
peegress may be through the calm waters
of the tropics, still st ikes them as an in
truder upon this realm of silence and
lo 1 elincss. The voices of the crew grate
harshly upon the ear as with a sense of
desecration such as one feels upon hear
ing loud conversation in the sacred peace
of some huge cathedral. And when a ves
sel heaves in sight, a tiny mark against
the skyline, she but punctuates the lone
liness, as it were—affords a point from
which lhe eye can faintly calculate the
immensity of her surroundings.
This sense of solitude Induced by con
tt niida-ion of the ocean Is exceedingly
marked even on the best frequented routet
and the most crowded (?) waters. To
enter Into It fully, however, it ls neces
sary to sail either In a catle ship, a whal
er, or an old slow-going merchant sailor,
that, gets drifting out of the track tf ves
nrlk. Even in the English channel one
cannot hut feel how much room there Is.
In spite of out knowhdge.of the number
of ships that pass and repass without
ceasing along what may tru'hfully be
termed the most frequented highway in
the watery world, there is an undoubtedly
r asonable sense Induced by its contem
p'ation that however much the dry land
may become overcrowded the sea will al
ways be equal to whatever demands may
b‘> made main it for space. There are
many harbors in the world, at any r.n#
landiock and bays that may rightly be call
ed harbors, wherein ihe fleets of -11 the
nations might :lr.e ip comfort. And their
disappearance from the open sea would
1 nve no sense of less, t-'o wide is old
ocean's bosom. Perhaps this Is even now
more strongly marked H an It was fifty
years ago. The wonderful exactitude with

which the steam fleets of the world keep
t > certain well-defined tracks leave the
intermediate breadths unvisited from
year to year. They are private places
whither he who should desire to hide him
ielf from the eyes cf men might hide and
be certain that but for the host of heaven,
the viewless wind, and the silent myraids
beneath, he would indeed be alone. They
are of the secret places of the Almighty.
Occasionally the great steamships that
lay for us the connecting nerves of civili
zation penetrate these arcana, for their
path must be made on the shortest line
between two .continents heedless of surf
ace\traeks. And the wise men who handle
these wonderful handmaids of science,
know how private are the realms through
which they steadily steam, leaving be
hind them the thin black line along which
shall presently flash at lightning-speed
the thought-essence of mankind. The
whaler, alas! is gone; the old leisurely
S >uth S aman to whom time was a thing
of no moment. Her ruler knew that his
b >1 prospect of finding the prey he s ught
was where no keel disturbed the sens tive
natural vibrations of the wave. Bo the e
Vessels saw more of sea solitude than any
others. Saw those weird spaces unvisited,
even by the wind, great areas of silky
surface into whose peaceful glades hardly
rolled a gentle undulating swell bearing
s lent evidence of storms raging half a
world away. So, too, upon occasion, did,
and does, a belated sailing ship, such as
one we met in the Southern seas bound
from the United Kingdom to Auckland that
had been then nine months on her pas
sage. Into what dread s. a solitude she
had intruded. How many, many days had
elapsed during which she was the solitary
point rising from the shining plain into
the upper air. Her crew had a wistful
look upon their faces, as of men whose
contact with the world they dimly re
membered had been effectually cut off.
And truly to many, news of her safety
came in the nature of a -message of res
urrection. Books of account concerning
her had to be reopened, mourning gar
ments laid aside. She had returned from
The silence, had rejoined the world of
men.
All the tracks along which ships travel
are but threads traversing these private
waters, just little spaces like a trail across
an illimitable desert. And even there the
simile fails, because the track across the
ocean plain is imaginary. It is traced by
the passing keel and immediately it is
gone. And the tiny portion of the sea
surface thus furrowed is bu't the min
utest fraction of the immeasurable spaces
wherein is enthroned tlie privacy of the
sea.

us tnke a pound of what we will call
average coal, containing, say, 10,000 heat
units. This would be somewhat smaller
In size than a man’s fist. A pound of this
coal, if expended in mechanical work,
would give us Ski horse-power. Imagine
at the time of the Pharaohs two long
lines of men, extending over half a mile,
all pulling steadily at the command of the
master, at a great rope to raise some
huge obelisk, and as you see them sweat
ing. tugging, and straining, think again
of this small lump of coal in which nature
has placed an equal amount of power. In
some countries men who have been spe
cially trained as porters, tot carry heavy
loads on their backs, will, as a full day's
work, carry a total of from 350 to <ioo
pounds a distance of one mite. And vet
each has expended but one-third of the
power stored up in this pound of coal,
i An exceptionally strong man has been
known to do one-half horse-power of
work os his mightiest effort; but In two
nnd a half minutes’ work at this rate ex
hausts hts muscular force. Let us sup
pose one hundred such men putiing forth
such extreme effort nt rope, or crunk, or
crowbar; as they fall back red-faced and
j ],tilling, io catch th<ir breaths, we might
1 imagine this little black lump saying to
them; “I can do as much as your whole
1 company, and then can stand it for fully
two minutes longer before I am exhaust
i ed!”
! Let us now turn to another portion of
the human race. From the earliest times
spinning has been a much-prized aceom
-1 plishment of the fair sex. We need look
i hack only to our own grandmothers. We
can picture them, from th ir own stories,
; told us when wo were children, as rosy
! cheeked damsels sitting around the open
1 fire place and spinning from early candle
light till bedtime, let us say, possibly iwo
i hours, Ig*t us then consider, for a mo
] ment, the thousands -of spindles rattling
and whirling In a mrslern cotton factory,
impelled by the power locked up In coal,
i One pound of this coal carries the poten
tial agency to do the work of 3,000 such
spinsters.
In sawing wood, a man may work at
I the rate of about sixty strokes per min
ute, and consider himself a “top saw
yer.” and his saw-blade may have pro
gressed five feet a minute; but a circular
saw-, driven by machinery, may be put
through seventy times that distance and
saw seventy times as much wood. And
yet this one little pound of coil contains
enough power for 180 such saws.

Recent events in the Christian world
thdieate a wish to do away with the arti
ficial distinctions which now divide and
weaken the church which should he
united.
Some of our Presbyterian brethren de
sire h change, or at least a modification
of Creed, or the expression of belief; and
this will doubtless result, although a "New
Creed” is not desirable, or itossible; but its
interpretation may be improved, and sure
ly will be.
The death in England of Dr. St. George
Mivart, while under the ban of the Roman
Catholic Church, as expressed by the
learned Archbishop of Westminster, has
caused profotffid regret; and many liberal
Catholics do not hesitate to condemn the
arbitrary action of the authorities in deal
ing With the alleged heresies of the able
Scientist who was driven into hasty end
unwise utterances.
Yet there are many of his own commun
ion who believe "that It is well with
him,” and “that he is at rest.”
It must be remembered that Dr. Mivart,
like John Henry Newman, was lx>rn in
Ihe communion of the English Church;
that he was a learned scientist; and that
such men, early intrenched, do not readi
ly adopt and rarry through life the ex
treme views held by Cardinal Vaughan,
and those who think with him.
It is doubtful if these men ever fully
abandoned belief In the “validity of An
glican Orders.” Their reason compelled
them lo retain so much of truth. Had
they lived generation later there would
have been less apparent reason for going
out to seek repose in a fold where reitoso
was denied them.
As evidence of a return to ancient
usages by the Anglican branch of the
Church Catholic, the Archbishop of Can
terbury has recently given Episcopal sanc
tion or recognition, of “Prayers for the
Dead” In public worship. This Is no new
custom, but rather a very old one; and
In prlvute devotions txxth In the Anglican
and American Church has been a fre
quent usage.

LOXG SERVICE OP SEXATORS.
Tiventj-fonr Willi n Record of More
Than Twenty Years Each.
From the New York Sun.
There are ninety United Statts senators,
and of the pres nt Senate twenty-four
members have served more than twenty
years. The recent success at the Demo
cratic primaries in Alabama of John T.
Morgan insures him of another term. He
tork his seat in the Senate on March 5,
1877, and at the conclusion of his next
term will have served thirty-two years
consecutively in office as senator from
Alabama.
Senator Jone.M of Arkansas will have
eighteen years in the Senate to his credit
on tho cotnplet on of his term in 1903.
Seraror TV Her of Colorado first entered
the upper hou*o in and his present
term does* not expire Until 1903; but he re
fdgned in 1882 to be ome Secretary of the
Interior, an office which he hr Id for t hree
years, at the clc se of which he was re
turned to Congress. Mr. I ’la tt of Connec
ticut has been m< re than twenty-one'
years a senator; his colleague, Senator
Hawley, has been in the Senate nineteen
years; Senator Ciillom, whose term ex
pires in March next and whos successor j
•he next Illinois. l egislature wilj choose I
h/' had years of service, while i
Senator A.Tlson of lowa a sena- ;
tor in 1873 and lias been continuously In
that office for twrnty-seven years, and
his term bus still three yens to run.
S nator Frye of Maine was chosen nine- j
teen years n%o and his colleague, Sena
tor Hale, was chosen at the same time, j
Senator Hear of Massa -hu*etts was elect
ed in 1877 and has held his seat continu
ously since then. Senator Davis of Min- !
peseta, was elected in 1877 and the two
M ssouri senators, Cockrell and Vest, are
bcch vc ornns io s rvlce, any project to
replace either with anew man being re
tarded in Missouri as little short of rev
olutionary. Mr. Cockrell, who succeeded
Carl Schiirz, has be n a senator since
U 75. and Mr. Vest, who aucceoied Gen.
Shields, has. b*<n a senator s nee 1879,
twenty-five years and twenty-one years
respectively. Senator Vest's term has
three years to run and that of Senator
Crckr-dl five.
A small s'nte which has been very te
nacious In the support of its senatorial !
representatives Is Nevada, Senator Jones
hoviriK been first elected in 18?&--about
coincident with "the crime of ’73," of
which much has been heard in Nevada—
and Senator Stewart having been first
elected in 1861, thirty-six years ago. He
was re-elected in 1869, but retired after six
teen years of service to re-enter the Sen
ate in 1887, since which he has served
consecutively and has been re-elected for
another term, at the conclusion of which
he will have had eighteen years of con
secutive service and twenty-nine years of
actual service with only one break. Sena
tor Chandler of New Hampshire has been
in office since 1887. Senator Sewell of
New Jersey, was first elected in 1881, but
has not been consecutively in the Senate.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, has been
a senator since 1881. He succeeded Gen.
Burnside. Senator Bate of Tennessee,
was elected in 1887; Senator Daniel of Vir
ginia in 1887. succeeding Gen. Mahone.
It ls usually to be observed that, with
the conspicuous exception of Missouri,
it is the smaller stales which adhere to
the policy of successive re-elections for
their senators. It is found usually that a
senator of long experience can he of more
service politically to his constituents than
one who is less familiar with the condi
tions of Washington life, and in small
states the imjionanco of federal patron
age is not to bo underated.
