TURKS Leader of Sultan’s Men ys the Arabian Insurrection Has Been Put Down CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 11.—Accord- %r.g to the statements emanating from Turkish sources, Marshal Ahmed Fezhr Pasha, commanding the Turkish troops in Yemen, proceeded to Sanaa with a few prisoners and announced the complete success of his expedition against the reb- els. Nevertheless the operations against the important fortress at Shakara, which is occupied by rebels, have been aban- doned, the besiegers leaving four guns be- h‘ind. owing to a lack of transport facili- ties. Yussuf Pasha was wounded during the assaults and Riza Pasha, who formerly commanded the expedition, but was su- perseded by Marshal Ahmed Fezhr Pa- sha, was killed. The revolt in Arabia has been of long duration. In December, 1904, 30,000 Bedou- ins rose against the Turkish authorities in the provinee of Yemen. Turkish troops under Ariza Pasha were sent against the rebels, but sustained a serious defeat, four of their battalions being routed; and later the garrison at Sanaa the capital of the province, surrendered to the Bed- ouins after a long siege. The rebels captured thirty guns, 20,000 rifles and much ammunition at Sanaa. It was then that Riza Pasha was superseded by Marshal Ahmed Fezhr Pasha, but the Bedouins continued their successes. In May, 1805, the Sultan sent a fresh force, consisting of one corps each of cavalry and artillery and a naval squadron of two torpedo cruisers, two destroyers and for torpedo-boats, to crush the insurrec- tion, which had spread to the province of Assyr and along the Red Sea to Hin Jaz. In July the Turks met with some suecesses at Sanaa in operations begun by Marshal Ahmed Fezhr Pasha and in which the Bedouins suffered great losses. Advices from Constantinople on Septem- ber 28 said that the Turkish troops had entered Banaa, from which the rebels re- treated. This practically ended the re- volt. The leader of the Arabs was Emir Mah- mud Haya, and their hostility to the Turks was on the contention that they were descendants of Mohammed and that the Turks.were only foréign invaders of their territory. —_——— Journalists Guests of Salt Lake, SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 11.—After by the Commercial Club the seventy- five members of the Montana Press As- sociation resumed their journey to Los Angelesto-night.

STRIKE QUESTION IN DOUBT. A meeting of the operafors to dis- cuss the threatened coal strike will be held in New York on February 14, and on February 16 there will be a joint conference of the miners and operators. Great interest attaches to these meet- ings, as both the operators and miners are reported as (irmly adhering to their respective positions. Under the agreement reached last Monday the Senate will, at 5 o'clock on next Wednesday, vote on- the sub- sidy bill, and under the same agree- ment the entire days of Tuesday and Wednesday, with the exception of the time devoted to routine business, will be given up to the discussion of the shipping bill. It is not expected that any more set speeches will be delivered on the bill, but there will be consid- eranie debate on its principal features and also on amendments that will be ofteved. The joint Statehood bill will be made the unfinished business in the Senate on Thursday, following hpme- diately upon the disposal of the ship- ping bill, and will continue to hold that place until voted upon or dis- placed. Opinions differ as to the time that will be required for the consid- eration of the measure. Confessedly the Benate is quite evenly divided on'the Foraker amendment giving Arizona an opportunity for a separate vote upon admission, and it is not probable that & test of strength will be consented to until there is more definite information a8 to the attitude of certain Senators than can now be obtained. Senator Beveridge, who will have charge of the bill ‘on the floor, expressed confidence in the success of the bill practically as repofted from the committee. The week's proceedings will be opened to-morrow by an effort on the part of Tillman to secure an _investigation of raliroad conditions in West Virginia as a result of the complaint made by Gover- nor Dawson of that State in the letter presented to the Senate a few days g0 by the Bouth Carolina Senator.

WILLEMSTAD, Friday, Feb. 9.—Condi- tions 1n Venezuela were unchanged at the date of the latest advices from that coun- tcy. The censorship is rigid. The atti- tude of Vice President Vicente Gomez, who is said to be plotting a revolution against President Castro in case -of a | French blockade, is causing some anxiety. Tt is reported also that General Antonio Velutini, Second Vice President, has a secret understanding with France, and that he aspires to the Presidency. All the turmoil over the French Cable Company's concessions is attributed to General Velu- tini, and it is expected he will soon aban- don President Castro. The total strength of the Venezuelan army is reported to be 8000 men and not 23,000, as the army accounts state. The total armament is 5000 Mauser rifles and 20,000,000 ball cartridges, 80 pieces of small | artillery of old-fashioned type, and 10! modern gums in position at the ports. The Treasury shows a balance of $200,000. President Castro is said to be boasting that he will test the Monroe doctrine. The. re; say that the best informa- tion i Ve ela Shows that France or any other power can rely upon almost the entirs population to fight President Cas- tro, and that anxiety Is everywhere ex- pressed for thejarrival of «the French fleet to solve thé previem which is be- yond the resources of the Venezuelans. Money will be decidedly scarcer if a war should break out, and the Venezuelan Government has made no preparation whatever for the commissariat. President Cgstro continues his cam- paign against foreigners and has expelled a man named Vankestern. LOSES HIS WIFE AS WELL AS COIN Michigan Man Is Informed That Spouse Is in Power of Hypnotist. ®pectal Dispatch to The Call. CHARLOTTE, Mich., Feb. 1L—His farm gone, his wife in the power of a hypnotist, and his money lost briefly tells George Blowers’ story. Last fall Blowers, with several others in this. vi- cinity, caught the Oklahoma fever and started for the new Southwest. Blowers sold his farming equipment, but before the sale of the farm had been completed, accompanied by his wife, he left for Guylen. Shortly after their arrival local real estate dealers, who had charge of his property, notified Blowers that the sale had been made and upon the execution of the proper transfers, the money, which was on deposit at a lacal bank, would be paid hi Blowers' share amounting to about $1700. At her suggestion, Mrs. Blowers re- turned north with authority to close the deal, and recefved $1700 in cash. In ths early part of November Mrs. Blowers started back to Oklahoma. She left the train at Kansas City and has not bech seen since. Blowers waited several days and finally became suspiclous as well as alarmed. He has fust received a letter from his | wife bearing postmark of Cotk, Ireland, in which she says she is under the power of a man who hypnotized her while riding on a train through Missouri. Local friends believe the Cork letter is a blind and a scheme to get more money, but Blowers thinks it is genuine and has safled for Ireland to bring his wife home. Blowers’ first wife posed as a cham- plon woman boxer with a ecircus and a divorce followed. This woman, who writes from Cork, is hie second wife. Blowers ‘married her in Grand Rapids, Mich. —_— sides of the chamber are trying to pre- vent a revival of the subject. ‘With two appropriation bills on the calendar, an expected discussion of the bill providing a whipping post for wife beaters in the District of Columbia and gn adjournment during the wedding day of Miss Roosevelt and Representative Longworth, the Houge of Representatives to-morrow will begén a somewhat busy legislative week.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.—“Duck hi in the Delaware!” *“Ride him on a ra “Tar and feather him!" These are some of the suggestions made by residents of the neighborhood of Front and Fitzwalter streets as being in order for the celebratign of the return home of Edward Kelly, a machinist who last Wed- nesday made full preparation for his wife’s burial, although she was never In better heaith than she is to-day. The Kellys live in Fitzwalter street; Kelly has not ventured near his home since he engaged a hearse and eight car- |riages for his wife’s burial. When an undertaker called with the casket he found Mrs. Kelly sitting beside the kitch- en fire. ‘“He wanted to collect 3200 insurance on my life and then skip,” said Mrs. Kelly to-day. “I am going to have him arrest- ed for non-support, and I think the un- dertaker and the insurance company will prosecute him for fraud. He knew very well what he was doing when he sent the undertaker to prepare my body for burial " . Kelly’s neighbors have taken up her side of the affair, and one suggestion made to-day was to paint her husband like a clown and march him through the downtown streets to the music of a dead march. More Quakes Calabria. ROME, Feb. 11. An earthquake shock lasting 18 seconds caused serious damage in Calabria to-day, especially at Cantanzaro and Monteleon. The population of these places became ter- ror-stricken, left their houses and camped in the streets, notwithstanding the stormy weather prevailing. Solicitude | Insists That Moroeco Be Po- i liced by the Zone System or Entirely by Neutrals PARIS OPPOSES PLAN Temps Says Status Quo Shall Remain Unaltered if Re- publie’s Claims Be Rejected e Special Dispatch to The Call PARIS, Feb. IL.—A fresh semi-officia} note, emanating from Germany and i claiming that Germany's amour propre demands that the police of Morocco be reguluted either by the zone System un- der the various powers or entirely en- trusted to neutral nations, has attracted much attention here. The Temps to-day devot ts leading article to the note, pointing out that either the special rights of France which were recognized before the opening of the Algeciras conference must be confirmed. without thereby imjuring the general rights of the other powers, or France's claim must be entirely rejected and the general rights of the other powers thus remaln unguaranteed—in other words, thé resumption of the former situation. however, the paper says, the conference at Algeciras gives its mandate to France it would be in the nature of a guarantee for the integrity of Morocco. averting the poseibility of French military domination and permitting all nations to reap an equal advantage from the open door. As a whole, the powers represented at the conference would guarantee the proper carrying out of its decisions. This soiu- tion of the question, the Temps declares, is the only one acceptable to France. A dispatch to the Echo de Paris from Tangier says: ‘“‘Raisuli, the bandit, has again succeeded in extricating himsell from a difficult situation by buying a certain number of the Anjera chlefs, who consequently refused to march against him. It Is expected the tribesmen will be busy fighting among themselves soon, leaving Raisuli free to occupy himself with the promotion of the plans of the pretender.” LONDON, Feb. 12.—Telegrams from continental capitals and editorials in the London newspapers this morning reflect the renewal of uneasiness over the ex- pected failure of the Algeciras conference to end the deadlock on the Fremch and German contentions with regard to the question of police. A long Algeeiras dis- patch of a semi-official nature, published in Paris to-day, seems to foreshadow an abortive result if not the actual rup- | ture of the conference, ana declares that | the lines have been reached beyond which | it is impossible that France can go. Special dispatches from Algeciras to ¥ London newspapers admit the cntg aspect of the situation. The editorials decline in any case to believe that war | could result, even if the conference failed. |MOTTO IN SALOON IS PASTOR'S THEME “Gee, Ain't It Hell to Be Poor?” the Subjeet of a Sermon.

It is certainly hell to be poor, ‘with such poverty as comes from the sa- { loon or the concert hall and saloon. Ordi- narily it is not well to be poor, nor is it to be rich.
