Tho Turkish garrison at Kernk, a town with a population of several thousand, ly ing on tho uplands of Moab a few miles cast of tho south end of tho Dead sea, was overcomo and put to sword by tho hordes of Dcdoulns which have in fested it Hko locusts. Tho military governor was among tho slain. Tho many Greek-church and Latin Christians of Korak havo fled to Haminoud. A part of American tourists, including some la dies, were stopping there enrouto for tho rock hown city of Potra when tho outbreak occurred, and woro obliged to abandon their trip. They succeeded In getting out of tho town with tho help of some frlondly Dcdoulns who attempted to guard them In an effort to reach Hebron, but they woro robbed of everything but tho animals they rode, by other Bedouins, and at last succeeded In reach ing tho shelter of Hebron. No Christians havo been killed, as tho enmity of the Dcdoulns is against tho government. Tho Bedouins havo nleo torn up tho Mecca rail way for long stretches between Zlzeh and Kntra noli, a distanco of about 100 kilomotors. Tho telo graph wires havo been cut outside of Kernk, and station masters and their assistants havo been killed.

It tho caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the Red Sea, is also held by tho Bedouin, it would close the way out to the thousands of pilgrims from Egypt and India, a stato of things which would call for prompt and declslvo action. The limited food supply at Mecca would bo quickly exhauBtod and could not bo easily replenished. Much excitement was caused In Jerusalem by the discovery that Korak was in flames, as could bo plainly seen from elevated places In and about tho city. Different rumors are current, ono of which Is that Korak is being destroyed by tho Turkish troops because of the discovery that the chiefs of tho town woro 'secretly in leaguo with the Bedouins. Medaba, whero tho famous mosaic map of the fourth century of tho sacred places in Palestine was unearthed somo years ago, has just been oc cupied by sevoral Turkish regiments, nnd is be lieved to be safe from attack. It is stated that tho French consulate hero has Just received a telegram from its Damascus agent that Saml Pasha, who has recently succeeded in suppressing tho DruBo rebellion in tho Horan, has hastened with his troops to tho sceno of the Be douin trouble. Further reports state that he is dealing with tho Dcdoulns with great soverlty. Tho largo Bedouin population of Palestine and tho region through which tho Mocca railway ox tends Is divided into many tribes. If thoro oxisted unity of aim and action among them, their oppo sition to tho Turkish government would bo most formidable. For these tribes nro often at war among themselves and there is no spirit of or ganization or cohesion among them. But oven as it is thoy have presented a serious problem to tho government. It is only within a few years that tho tribes on tho east of tho Jordan, opposlto Jerusalem, tho Adwan nnd the Denl Sukher, have been brought under a sort of loose control, and that Kerak has been occupied by a garrison, and Ukowlsa tho Bo doulns In the south, around Beer-sheba, where a government center was established only recontly. At tho latter place n seraiyo has beon built, and also a mosque to plcaso tho Bedouins. A small town has sprungrup which is tho noweBt town of Palestine and is distinguished by being tho first to hnve waterworks ns well as bolng tho site of the Beer-sheba of Abraham's tlroo. The namo meana "Seven Wells," all of which have been lo cated. It la from ono of these the water Is pumped for tho use of tho town. An abortive attempt was mado about three years , ago to plant another center furthor south nnd so mRZHH moans orrmmziS jit &g-cuzzbi extend the Jurisdiction of tho government Tho Pasha of Jerusalem, with his retinuo of civil and military ofllclalB, at that time gathered tho Be douins of the region, and gavo Uiom presents and, with great pomp, read a mcsago from tho Sultan. As part of tho ceremonies many of tho Bedouin boys were brought togethor to rocolvo presents of clothing, etc., nnd to bo circumcised. But a re port was started that thlB would mnrk them for being taken as soldiers lator, nnd they fled from tho proposed rlto. Thcso now government stations, and tho at tempts of tho officials to lngrntlnto thomselvcB with tho Bedouins hitherto not subjoct to tho gov ernment, wero in pursuanco of a policy adopted by the Constantinople authorities about 20 ycarB since looking to breaking up tho old nomadic and Inde pendent Ufa and habits of these sons of Ishmael. Tho plan was to get the Bedouin youth Into a spocial government school for them nt Constanti nople, to confer titles and glvo presents to tho chiefs, to gradually push forward among tho tribes tho lino which marked tho limit of tho authority of the government, and finally to disarm and onroll them with a vlow to military Bervlco and tax-lovy-ing. However but llttlo has been accomplished along these lines. Tho building of tho Mecca railway, which was hoped would forward the government policy, has, Instead, led to complications and conflict. Tho road has hod to be constantly patrnlod by inountod troops, for tho Bedouins havo been all along greatly opposed to It, especially because it deprived thorn of the very considerable business they had In hir ing their camels to carry pilgrims and their bag- gogo to and from Mocca. For a tlmo tho pnymont of "hush money," or annual allowances to the sheikhs of somo of tho tribes by tho government. kept thorn quiet. But rocontly Rlzzn Pasha formorly mtlltnry govornor of Jerusalem, now In charge of tho post at Medina, has attempted to hold a stronger hand ovor the unruly tribes, and ho discontinued tho payment of tho "allowances.' This led tho Bedouins to nttack tho railway sta- tlons. tear up the Lack, cte, This was In tho far south. Tho troubles at Karak wero precipitated by an attempt of tho government to onroll tho Bedouins and disarm thorn. This applied not only to tho Nomadic tribes but to tho towns people and vll lagers, many of whom nre Christians. An incident illustrative of how this operates occurred tho other day at Ks Salt, on tho othor sldo of tho Jordan. A member of a wealthy Christian family of tho town was In tho Holds with somo of his men. As usual and necessary In this parts, he was armed. Turkish officer with a few soldiers attempted to disarm him and tako bis rlllo, resulting in his shooting and killing tho ofllcor, nnd In ho and his men bolng at onco shot by the soldiers. His broth cr was npprehonded and taken to Damascus. It seems prcmaturo to attempt to disarm the peoplo of thcso towns and vilages that nro ox posed to tho-attacks of the Bedouin, and in sook lng to do so tho government is facing a difficulty with which It will bo hard to cope. It is thought tho government will be nblo to put down tho present uprising without much do lay. It is most unllkoly that tho disturbances will extend far boyond their present area. n n riff Vhon tho tlmo comes that an avia tor may make adjustments of his car buretor as well as othor portions of tho motor upon which ho depends even moro than doo3 tho chauffeur on his automobllo onglno, tho problem of carburctlon will not prosont bo many difficult vlows.
