Mr. Neither do I understand why Drucker should make the public ement that he was ignorant of what was going on. It does not seem possible that he could be so. He and Mr. Burns have been like two Dromios and were together one or two days each week. The natural inferenc¢e is that they were not in each other's company for. pleasure alone. The assertion of Drucker that there has been no meetings of the committee is un- true, for have attended them. The committee for a long time has been Burns Drucker, as Director Carew has sistently refused to have anything to do with it or even to attach his name to vouchers of any kind. What his rea- sons are for so doing I do not know. I will not make any allegations outside the board, but at the next regular meeting | shall have some statements to make officially, the facts of which I am verify- ing now.” There are many reasons advanced for Drucker's sudden desertion of the com- | bination of which he has for a year and a half been a conspicuous member.

Had I done this my impressions of the ® famed capital of the unspeakable Turk would have been different from what @® they now are. From the Golden Horn and Bosphorus, under the conditions @® named, Constantinople is a dream city. The lofty domes, and the tower- @ ing minarets rising out of groves of evergreen cypress, the shores on either @® side lined with white marble palaces and over all a sky of indescribable ® blue shot with innumerable rosy tints—the scene is one of sublime beauty. ©® But the instant the steamer touches the filthy dock and the traveler sets @® foot on Turkish soil the vision is dispelled a thousand and one disgusting ® odors salute the nostrils emanating from heaps of rotting refuse piled ® along the streets. Stumbling over the wretchedly paved thoroughfares— @® pavements are almost an unknown quantity—avolding the groups of snarl- @® ing, fighting street dogs, jostled by the vendors of fruits, vegetables, meats ® and sweets, the visitor finally reaches his hotel in a half dazed condition. @® Fortunately once there he finds comfort and safety, for the European @ hotels in Constantinople are first-class. ® “My life in Turkey was during a most unpleasant but interesting period. ® The people of the United States will never be able to fully appreciate the @® horrors of the massacre of Armenians, which took place in the streets of ® Constantinople on the 26th and 2ith of August, 1895, when some six thous- @® ands of those wretched people were knocked in the head like so many cat- @® tle. The exact number of the victims sacrificed to Turkish hatred and | @ cruelty during that terrible perlod will never be known. In the official re- @ ports made to the Home Office by the British Embassy in Constantinople @® the estimate was placed at five thousand men, women and children in the | @ city and suburbs alone. It is needless to say that the European colony @® lived in constant fear of a general uprising when all Christians would be @ sacrificed irrespective of nationality. osely following the massacres came the war between Turkey and @® Greece. Immediately after the commencement of hostilities all Greek sub- @ Jjects were ordered to leave Turkish territory within fifteen days and when @ I tell you that some eighty thousand subjects of Greece reside in Con- @© stantinople alone you can imagine the commotion. Many left at once but there were thousands who could not get away and their distress was piti- able. The British, French, German and American consulates were thronged with people begging to be taken under the protection of the flag of some friendly npation. France finally accepted the office of looking after Greek @® interests in Turkey during the continuation of the war, but fortunately the | ® time allowed the unfortunates was extended again and again through the influence of the respresentatives of otheér nations until the signing of the @© armistice and much suffering was averted. [Of Had the Greek navy been allowed by the powers to take an active part @ in the war the resuit might have been different. A prominent Greek official @ told me that it was the intention of the admiral of the fleet to attempt the @ passage through the Dardanelles in the hope of getting one or two of their @® vessels into the harbor at Constantinople. Had one vessel alone succeeded | @ in passing unscathed through the strong fortifications at the Dardanelles @ and reached Constantinople in safety the Greeks would have been in a posi- @ tion to dictate terms, for Yildiz palace and the city would have been at the @® mercy of the guns. Unfortunately for them the admiral of the combined @ fleet of the powers threatened to sink the entire Greek fleet If a movement @® was made toward Constantinople. As a consequence the Greeks had to de- | © pend on the little army of 55,000 men in the battles on the Thessaly frontier | @ with some 200,000 Turkish soldiers. Small wonder then that the former @ made such a poor showing. It was retreat or utter annihilation and they re- @© treated. ® Mr. Smith is the composer of that ancient but still remembered ditty @ entitled “Listen to My Tale of Woe' and in response to a query as to wheth- @ er he had further inflicted the public in a musical way he sald; ® “The ‘Tale of Woe' has been my most successful song. I have writ- @© ten several others however, that have become quite 11 known, among @ them ‘If you love me, darling, tell me with your eyes,’ “The Country Band’ @® ‘Swinging in the Grapevine Swing,’ and ‘The Song that breaks my heart. @® Since returning to this country in September last I have written three new © songs, viz: ‘The dear old Tombigbee, which is on the style of the popu- © ular ballad ‘On the Banks of the Wabash, and two ‘coon’ songs, ‘My @ Little Mandy’ and ‘De Coaxin’est Man.'

OPPOSED TO THE RAILROADS PLANNING FOR A MONSTER OR- GANIZATION. San Francisco to Be Purified and the Railroad Commission to Be Sus- tained. - The anti-ring Populists met in the As- sembly hall of the Parrott building yes- terday and prepared an address to the public calling on the people of the State to organize to fight for their liberty from railroad monopoly. ‘W. T. Baggett, A. W. Thompson - and George W. Monteith were appointed a committee to perfect the plan of organiza- tion. The address is as follows: To the Popullsts of California: A few years ago the then untried bark of populism was launched upon the stormy sea of American politics. Manned by a few honest and eain- est patriots it nafled the banner of iiberty to its masthead and went forth to battle in the cause of freedom and humanity. In the pros- ecution of its high aim it offered no reward and held forth no inducement of material gain —simply asked the tolling millions to join in the redemption of the republic from the fate- ful domination of monopoly and corruption. Breathing the eternal spirit of true Ameri- canism, it called on all patriots to join in a common movement of the common people for the common good. It knew no South, no North, no East, no West; it recognized neither caste, race nor creed, but belleved in one nation for one peo- ple; it sought their happiness; it asserted their equality and it demanded their liberty. In the great American nation a million hon- est hearts responded to its call to arms, and a milifon sincere patriots arrayed themselves around its standard. Men forsook the politi- cal assoclations of a lifetime and buried al sectional hatred and party prejudic a united effort to better the conditions of those who labor that they may live. These brave vol- unteers, in the great cause of human liberty, sought the redemption of the republic from the domination of the avariclous plutocracy that held it in a thralldom of misgovernment and corruption. Its short life has been marked by crises, due to the subtle efforts of its ememy, to accom- plish its ruin. Two vears ago its good name and party privileges were bartered to aid in a battle upon a minor issue which left the party in a state of hopelessness and helplessness bordering upon demoralization and so much so that it Is now almost in the throes of disso- lution, with treachery in its ranks and cor- ruption at its guard line. Its future is of anxious concern to two great parties, one of | which seeks its destruction, and the other its absorption. Here in Callfornia we see our State bound hand and foot by a consclenceless monopoly. We see the departments of government cor- rupted, the halls of legislation disgraced and the temple of justice defiled. Our famers are in servitude, for their farms are made profit- less by the extortions of the monopoly. Our mechanics are idle and our merchants are un- paid. Our people struggle to exist; they face starvation, misery and ruin, and in the midst of a land ‘more generously endowed by nature than perhaps any other on the face of the earth, their condition grows steadily worse ana worse. There is & single cause for this fearful con- dition and it s found in the corrupt domina- tion of the Southern Pacific monopoly that lies upon it as an incubus. While not moving one jot from the great principles of Populism included in our na- tional platform, we have no hesitation in say- ing that the duty of the hour is to redeem our State from the destructive supremacy of the old monopoly. The first duty of a man is to his_family and his home, and our first duty is to save our homes and ourselves from the baneful influence that overshadows us so com- pletely. Political differences must sink in the achleve ment of a common purpose—the destruction of the great political machine which dominates every department of our State government and which cuts us off from every source of rellef. We must liberate California, and until that is achieved we must forego no effort that will accomplish that end. Upon the Populist party to-day rests a heav responsibility. The 60,000 Populists who voted | the ticket four -ears 'ago are just as sincere Populists to-day as they were then, and they are ready and willlng Jjoin in any move- ment that appeals to their intelligence, sat- | isfies their judgment, and stirs their hearts to | action. NG boss can successfully crack the party lash over the head of a Populist. He is an independent, free born and liberty-loving citizen, who wiil bow alone to the dictates of reason. The Populist party has it in its power to eave California; to secure upon the official ballot a ticket that will command the confidence of every honest man. It must not alone propose measures, but it must provide men who are competent and who can be de- pended upon to carry its measures forward to success. Untried and unknown men will be but experiments, worthy, perhaps, but until tried not to be confided n To win' the great battle against the railroad two, things must be accomplished. The rail- road political machine must be destroyed and provision made to prevent its being repaired or a new one erected in its place. The days of corruption and machine rule must be num- bered. To practically accomplish this the State con- stitution must be amended, and to that end an honest Governor and Legislature must be elected; our judicial svstem revised and salu- tary laws promulgated. The Legislature is the key to the arch. The best men In the State must be induced to go o the Legislature—men of sufficient courage to not only enact good laws, but who will im- peach those judges and other officials who ave made the administration of justice in this State a scandal and a disgrace. The Railroad Commission must be sustatned and its hands upheld, and when this is all done the people must take into their own hands the power to regulate their State government whenever the necessity requires by being able to directly annul a bad law, compel the en- actment of a good law, and remove at will all unfaithful servants. The city of San Francisco is the hotbed of corruption; it must be cleansed and purified. As a result swe must elect an honest Governor and honest Legislature, two honest Supreme Judges, three honest Railroad Commissloners and sustain the New Charter. The men se- lected should be those who have been tried | and found true, for these are the vantage oints in the coming campaign. We can com- ine and conquer; we can divide and lose. With the single purpose of elevating our party to’ this former hich standard we earn- estly apppeal to our State convention to take that action which will redeem the State for once and for all. ————————— HE WANTED TO DIE.
