British Contractors
Rebuild the Turkish
Navy and Arsenal
I,QNDON. Jan. 3. Tho mutorlal cf
flcloncy of Turkey'a navy will be for
thirty years, almost cntrcly In British
handw. The Ottoman government has re
cently placod a contract to continue for
thrco deendes with Armstrong & Vlckers,
n British firm which has often had close
working relations with tho Bothlehem
steel works In foreign contracts, and
which has taken over the Turkish arsenal
and nuvnl station nnd will assume con
trol of both repairs and construction.
Thin in one of many Instances In which
British firms ure helping In building up
tho navies' of other countries. While
busy with British orders, the ship build
ing nnd armament firms in England are
also asslktlng, South American republic,?,
Russia, Spain nnd Greece.
Thp Turkish reconstruction Is probably
the biggest undertaking, since it Js
wholly In British hands. A new navul
bus. Is to be ctablshed at Ismidt, about
sixty miles from. Constantinople on tho
Asiatic shoro of tho Gulf of Jtnrmoru,
For 200 years it was th,e site of TUrkev'J j
arsenal and dockyards, but was nbon
doned In 1879, owing to ttie harbor silt
Ing up. It will tHko a dozn years to
restore the harbor and bring It up to
standard pf a modern naval bape. How
ever. It Is tho Intention to bu'.ld here a
construction plant Capable of' building
modern, battleships.
In tho msantlmn tho present Turkish
navy, so bad! treated by the Greeks in
tho recent war. Is to be overhauled In
the arsenal at tho Golden Horn. A staff
of Englishmen to superintend the work
is already In Constantinople, and al
though It Ih proposed to use Turkish labor
and material as much an possible, much
will como from England. The hoard of
Administration will consist of five Ung
llxhrncn and four Turks, tho latter ip
polntot by the Ottoman government. Bo
s'des naval work the company expects to
do considerable repair work for the mer
cantile marine visiting Turkish wuters,
On qf tho terms of the contract was
that tho firm was to secure for Turkey a
loan of .Ce0,(XXt on favorable terms. Thl
has already been secured, but it is not
stated for what the money Is to bo used.
Tho Porte needs a lot of money for tho
reorganization of the army, which is
again to be undertaken by Germans, ile
plt the adverse criticism of the army
Blned by them In the battles of Thrnpp
but It In likely Otrman banks will Jan.!

LONDON, Jan. 3. Tho llboral party,
which recently celebrated tho eighth an
niversary of Its return to power, now has
tho honor of- leading tho affairs of the
British empire for a longer consecutive
period than any party for nearly a hun
dred years. Premier Asqulth hns now
been In office for over flvo and a half
years, and In April next, If his govern
ment survives, he will approach tho rec
ord of Lord Salisbury, whose second term
of office Instcd just seven' years.
When the parly came Into power In
190r Mr. Balfour, then prime minister,
found that byo-electlon after bye-election
was going against him nnd'hc decided to
resign. He chose this rourso Instead of
dissolving tho House of Commons, be
causo he believed that it would bo cither
lmpostlblo for the liberals to form a cab

occurred over the South African war, or
If one was formed It would be such as
would weaken instead ot strengthen thn
llbortl party. Tie had been badly. In
formed. Hlx months before this ti meeting
of liberal leaders had been held at whirl)
nil differences wero sunk nnd tho com
position of Sir Henry Cnmpbell-Banner-man's
cabinet practically decided upon,
Whon Mr. Balfour's resignation was an
nounced, therefore, the I'beral leader was
ab'.c to Inform tho king that he rould ac

which he did forthwith, and tho party In
tho following January won an unprece

many .constituencies as a point ot Attack
against tho liberal government, which Is
responsible for tho act.
Otit for the Monitv.
The usual argument Is that It induces
men to try to get Into Parliament for
the money that they can make out of it.
In a few constituencies, especially soma
of thoso held by Idhorltes, where election
ran be secured w'thout any" elaborate
campaign and can be hold without "nurs
ing," it Is possible that the member has
something left out of IiIh salary. In the
great major'ty of oasos, however, it takes
all of the $2,000 and much more to finance
an rleetlon. '
A typlc?) Instance, is West Ilertf, at
present held by Arnold Ward, th son of
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, tho novelist. He
himself Is opposed to tho payment of
members, while Hedley V, U Bas, the
liberal candidate, believes that members
should be paid, In n plain talk at Wat
ford Mr. Le Bka explained why he be
lieved In it. In the first place he, pointed
out that It would cost a candidate at '
leat K0M a year. The election Itself, In, '
eluding the returning officer's fees, which :
have to be paid by tbe candidates, would
cost - S1O.G00, to which would have to be

BHULIN", Jan. 3. The case ot Lieuten
ant von Brandcnsteln of tho Second
Guard regimont, who resigned his com
mission becuuso he was opposed to tho
prlnclplo or duelling, ha brought M
suranco from tho minister of war that
hereafter religious scruples will' receive

A bill against duelling In now before a
special Itclchstag commltteo, tn which
a representative of tho war department
linn made tho following report on the
unusual case of von Hrundcnsteln:
"Tho officer has long boon a. member
of a religious organization which takes
tho word pf the Blblo as Its guldo In all
matters, even those affecting tho dully
lfe. By reason of his membership von
Brandonstoln's position In tho urmy was
peculiar. One dny he declared In tho
preuenco of IiIh comrades that In. conso
nunce with tho principles of his organ
ization ho could under no circumstances
Ifsuo or accept a challenge to a. duei,
because that would violate the sixth
commandment. Tho matter came to tho
knowledge of tho commanding officer,
who askod von Brandensteln whether the
roport was true. Von Brandensteln ro
pes ted his assertion,
-The Commander called tho lieutenant's'
attention to the fact that hu bore a
nword, commanded armed man and In cer
tain conditions would bo obliged to make
uno ot his weapon without awaiting tho
order of bin suporlor officer and without
time to dccldn whether tho employment
of forco was In accord with biblical law.
Such conduct would betray a lack of
decision and even a (hurt hesitation
might be full of consequences In war.
No ono with sucti a view could remain
an officer
"The officer ut first decided to present
his resignation. loiter ho reconsidered und
asked that a court of honor puss upon
tho case. Thl roquast was denied, as
no attrfck had been made on his honor.
Thereupon ho loft tho army."
