In this respect the Sultan set an example which his subjects have strictly followed. Cases are or. tecordof venturesome Europeans sur SWBtltlouely visiting Constantinople ha reaas.

The tlobeltoa) cruelty of the Turk and the enormity of the of? fsets* In his eyes have made it essen? tial that the alternative shall be the severst punishment that can be de vised.

JAPAX'S FA E OX Cl Tntorn.il Trouble* In the Flowery Kingdom are i em ed. teed. May 17.?Obeying a sudden summons from Prince Ito, Jap ness Resident-General In K-'-^r. v.h> \e now In Japan, Vi.e ount Sone, Vko Rsj ident-Oenerai. departed yesterday for Tokio, nnd for the flr.-t time In two years the affair* of the Korean Government are adminittr>vc.i hy the Cabinet' without the supervision of The fact that Korr en affairs art tntruated to the Korean Cabinet in the absenco of tho J. pans a officers is taken as evident, that Japan has full confidence In the Ministers*and Is well satisfied that the country has been tranuu: llzed. The Cabine t will be in some measure guided by the sdvlce of K. Xabeshlma, director of the Foreign Department ? of Resi? dency, v. h.'te the Japanese o'flcers are away. There Is roason to believe that the recall of Viscount Soho indicates that the resignation of PnWe Ro Is pend? ing. If this Is true It is believed that Viscount Sone has already been se? lected to succeed to the position of iderit-General. Th? Japnn^so Government has ^hown an unusual intere.-t in develop? ments in China of late, an 1 in pay? ing el -.? ntion t > its inte: cst there. Etcau83 of this and of the nVowed intentfen of the Government to avoid complications aleee l.ero. Particularly in Korea, the n<lv'co Ol Prince ito on affairs selatlve to ? hing is held to to Invaluable. Though the Japanese Government Is not disposed to take pessimistic view, it Is, nevertheless, regarded as probable In official circles at Tokio that Internal trouble may arise in China within a year. Because of this thore Is good reason to believe that the Emperor and the old^r statesmen have requested Princo Itc i j remain In Japan and devote hip ability and knowledge to shaping Japan's policy toward China. Viscount Sone is expected to carry out the plan of restraining the dis? turbing elements nnd even more de? termined enforcement of I IW in the protection of the lives and property of peaceful Koreans and to pay g> * nttentlon also to the furtherance of Prince Ito's plans for steady develop? ment of the natural resources of tho empire. Although Viscount Sone is politic i kUy a supporter of Ficl'd *Mar>h i! Ysmagata. president of the Privy Council of Japan, and Tamagal i It an old rlvnl of Prince Ro m Japan? ese politics, It Is not expected that 'his will ir.onn a charge in the policy o' Korea or elsewhere, as the two Ktatesmen are In accord on national pclltic* of great moment.

The Interruption of the cat? tle trade caused a loss of many thousands. Results of an Investiga? tion conducted by the Government scientists of the Public Health and Marias Hospital Berylce, made pub-, lie today, show that th^ contamin? ated strain of virus Originally came from a foreign country. The Govern? ment announcement says that n Penneylvanla company imported cer? tain smallpox vaccine virus which was contaminated with the infection of "foot and moitth" disease, in May, too*, some veeoJrie of this strain was procured by a company In Detroit.

The facts are as follows according to the rotator, who*soid that the story ras told to him by a member of the di. pi i -ary board of -? County : A m .nth or two ago the dispensary board placed an order with a certain liquor house for a quantity of whis? key, Che proof and quality of which were guaranteed to be the same as sample submitted with bid. When tnfl li juor arrived the board, for rea? sons not stated, suspected that it did not come up to sample, so it was sub? mitted to a reputable chemist to I i tested. The chemist reported that the whiskey was rot as good as the sample and fhat it WSS under nroof. The liquor hou.'-o was communicated with I Id the report of the chemist laid be f re them. They came down at one-?. # uke Davy Croc.cett's coon, without waiting for forcible measure.*. They left it to the county board to nan: the terms of settlement. The board decided to pay for the whiskey on the basis ff the. chemist's report and sent a check for the amount deemed fair ami just. The liquor men promptly sent a receipted bill and a cred't memorandum and a letter of thanks ?and in addition there vvas enclosed In the same letter, but without a v ord of explanation, a Fifty Dollar Bill. It is said that the bill was re? turned to the liquor house by the nrxt mail. Tho relator of the story SlSO said that he had heard that the difpersary board of another county had had practically the same exper* lence with the same liquor hOUSSt Neither sto:y re'ers to Sumter Coua ty, nothing of the kind having occur I red here. The Story shows that the liquor housos are still inclined to hand out a little graft when opportunity olters and that they need close watching.
