Constantinople, Apr. 27.--The depo­ sition of Sultan Abdul Hamid now ap­ pears to be certain, and the 101 guns saluting Mehemmed Reshed Effendi as the new ruler of the empire probably will be heard oil Friday. The dignitaries of the church care as little for Abdul Hamid as does the committee of Union and Progress, but the higher clergy are seeking to curb the agitation of the enthusiasts of the Mohammedan league. A caucus of senators and deputies Monday determined to make an effort to compel the sultan to abdicate un­ der the eccelesiastical law, by which a decree may be issued by the Sheik-ul- Islam, the highest authority of Moham­ medanism next to the sultan, pro­ nouncing the sultan incapable of rul­ ing. To Make Him Abdicate. A caucus of senators and deputies has determined to make an effort to compel him to abdicate under the ec­ clesiastical law, by the terms of which a decree may be issued by the Sheik- ul-Islam, the highest authority of Mo­ hammedanism next to the sultan, pro­ nouncing the sultan incapable of rul­ ing. The grounds "upon which the issu­ ance of a canonical rescript will be demanded are that the sultan's su­ premacy is harmful to the church, contrary to the sacred law and un­ just to the Turkish people. The pro­ gram as agreed upon at the caucus is that a demand shall be made for the abdication of Abdul Hamid simul­ taneously from the highest court of the church, from the national assem­ bly and from the military chiefs. The sultan will be offered a palace and liberal allowances. Depend Upon the Sheik. Tbe parliamentary leaders wish to vdlscuss this program at a public sit­ ting before they approach the Sheik- ul-lslam on the subject, for in the popular belief it is with this man, who lives a secluded life of a mysteri­ ous, semi-holy character that the dif­ ficulty lies. He is not likely to act without giving serious consideration to this important matter, taking coun­ sel with the principal ulema and seeking the opinion of* the wisest and most powerful men in the church. The Constitutionalists have no wish to oppose ecclesiastical authority nor to undertake the tasks of progress without the support of a majority of the wise men, and if they strongly op­ pose the abdication of the sultan, It would hardly be insisted upon at pres­ ent, although this is regarded as the simplest course to avoid further com­ plications with Abdul Hamid. Heir to Throne Was Prisoner. Mehemmed Rechad Effendi, the heir apparent to the throne, who probably would be selected for the accession, has lived practically a pris­ oner for 25 years in the large palace and garden not far from the Yildiz Kiosk. Since the July revolution, however, he has often been in the streets of Constantinople, looking from the carriage windows upon the scenes in the thoroughfares which must have been strangely interesting to him. He is gray-haired and not •ery strong, to judge from his ap­ pearance. He is 65 years of age and well educated, although inexperienced in the affairs of the world. Last of Troops Surrender. Monday afternoon witnessed the final act in the siege of the Yildiz, Gen. Schefket, commander of the Con­ stitutionalists, over-awing the Alban­ ians into surrender. This force, which was composed of 200 men, was stationed in the Imperial palace. The Albanians were not engaged in the fighting on Saturday, but they per­ sistently refused to lay down their arms. Gen. Schefket sent up a strong body of Macedonians and six field pieces were placed in a prominent position above the palace. Other guns were disposed on the neighboring heightir while the troops commanded all the approaches. The red flag con­ tinued, however, to fly defiantly until two o'clock when the watchers saw It dropping slowly down the flfjrpole, making place for tbe white toben of surrender. A few minutes later a crowd of fugi­ tives were seen pouring down the dusty road, leading to Beshimtash, where they were fastened together with ropes and conducted under a military escort to headquarters. % , Prisoners Brutally Treated. 1 The Salonikins show great severity. Many of the arrested softas, credited with being reactionaries, have been brutally treated and others, concern­ ing whose loyalty there is doubt, have not entirely escaped. The vigorous search continues, even into the Euro­ pean quarters. It is estimated now that at least 10,000 prisoners are in the hands of the Salonikins. Those liable to severe punishment, such as the rebellious Salonki chasseurs, have been secure­ ly roped. Among the civilians arrest­ ed are Maurad Bey, editor of the Mir.an, Abdur Rahman Effendi, assist­ ant minister of finance, and several high officials of the Porte. A num­ ber of reactionary newspapers have been suppressed. Fresh battalions continue to arrive from the country districts. As they came in each marched to the palace of justice, where the parliament was sitting and saluted the representatives of the new government. Many of the soldiers went to the mosques to pray. Most of the American tourists have left the city. Ambassador Leishman, who has received many telegrams in­ quiring whether it is safe to » visit Constantinople, has replied to these that such a course would be inadvis­ able, as the city is under martial law. Orders Massacres 8topped. Urgent commands have been sent to the local governors of the disturbed Syrian districts by the minister of the interior to restore order. The minis­ ter notified the governors that he would hold them persohnally respon­ sible for any further conflicts. The Sheik-ul-Islam was again appealed to by influential deputies to use his ef­ forts to prevent further disorders, which, they declared, were disgrace­ ful to the Islam. He has already act­ ed, but will take addilonal steps ime- diately. Cabinet Members Resign. Tewnk Pasha, the grand vizier, and the other members of the cabinet, re­ signed, but their resignation was not acted upon. Tahir Pasha, one of the commanders of the Yildiz garrison, has been degraded and dismissed from the army. Numerous other officials of the palace have been dismissed, while many women of the sultan's harem, with their families, have been sent away. The senate and chamber of deputies in joint session^ requested the minis­ ters to remain in office for some days longer. This was in accordance with the desire of Gen. Schefket, who inti­ mates that the military arrangements in the capital have not yet been com­ pleted. The ministers agreed to con­ tinue in office. Will Exterminate Plotters. Gen. Schefket issued a proclama­ tion announcing that the instigators of the. recent crimes, including those who have been guilty of stirring up a feeling of discontent, will be exterm­ inated as the worst enemies of the country, in accordance with Sherlat and the unanimous wish of the nation, and that measures will be taken to prevent the propagation of subversive ideas. The proclamation concludes with the assurance that peace will be maintained and the people will remain tranquil. There was an imposing ceremony, which was attended by 2,000 troops, when 300 Salonikins were buried In a common grave on Shisili Top hill, now called Liberty hill. Enver Bey, Selah Eddin and others made stirring speeches, declaring that the men had died for liberty and the constitution. A hodja, in offering prayer, referred to the army as "imperial," but was promptly stopped by the officers, who objected to the word "imperial," and suggested Ottoman instead. 100,000 Armenians in Pc!rll. Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey.-- Refugees who have escaped from Deurtyul, which is a small town not far from Alexandretta, bring most alarming accounts of the situation there. They affirm that 100,000 Ar­ menians are beleaguered by 50,000 Moslems. The besieged are half- starving and the conditions within the walls of the city are pitiful The for­ eign consuls estimate about 6,000 townspeople and refugees at Deurtyul, Vith perhaps as many more Turks threatening them from the outside. It is certain that there are no Americans at that place. It is estimated that there are in England 7,000,000 people who are suf­ fering because they lack the bare necessities of life. If England repre­ sents the highest type of civilization it would appear that there fa still room for Improvement in the civilizing Eight Perieh In Wreck.

IN Sends Complaint to Attorney General Instead of Interstate Com* merce Commission. Washington. -- In directing that Attorney General Wickersham in­ stead of the interstate commerce com­ mission investigate the charges made by Senators Smoot and Sutherland and Mr. Howell of Utah against the Harriman railroads, President Taft Wednesday put his own antl-truBt pol­ icy into action. The roads named in the complaint filed with Mr. Taft are the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Oregon Railroad & Navigation, San Pedro, Los Angles & Salt Lake, Denver ft ftio Grande, Missouri Pa­ cific, Colorado Midland, Colorado & Bouthern, Hhicago, Burlington & Qulncy, Rork Island, and Atchison, Topeka ft S&nta Fe. The charge is made that these roads discriminate in rateB against Salt L~..ke and other intermountain cities on shipments from the east. The com­ plaint cites numerous instances. As examples, they say that a car of co­ coa beans shipped from Chicago to Utah cities costs $594 in freight tariff, while the same shipment to San Fran­ cisco costs but $225. A car of nails, 40,000 pounds, costs $440 to Utah points, wnile the same car, if carried 1,000 miles further west, to the coast, costs but $160. In letters to the president accom­ panying the complaint it is pointed out that the enormous earnings of the Harriman lines from which big divi­ dends are paid on stocks Indicate that the railroad rates complained of are enormously profitable, and that Hai> riman derides power of any less Im­ portance than the federal government, and apparently careB little for that. KIDNAPER TRIES SUICIDE. Boyle Found In Cell. Ill from a Drug--• His 8ickness Prevents Escape. Mercer, Pa.--The Mercer county au­ thorities are greatly worried over an ftlleged attempt of James H. Boyle, the Whitla kidnaper, to commit sui­ cide and later a well-planned attempt on the part of supposed friends on the outside to Uberate the prisoner from the jail here. While both affairs were frustrated, their successful conclusion seems to have been averted by the narrowest margin. Late Thursday afternoon it was learned that Boyle suddenly be­ came 111 Wednesday. He was found lying upon the floor of his cell in the agony of convulsions. Excepting that his illness was such as would have re­ sulted from Bome powerful drug noth­ ing can be learned. A few minutes after midnight an at­ tempt to liberate Boyle failed on ac­ count of the prisoner's illness. At that hour guardb found a 20-foot lad­ der In position At a window in Boyle's cell. The supposition is that the men who were to free Boyle climbed this ladder and then found his cell empty. Birds Raid White House Grounds. Washington. -- A strange bird has descended on the White House grounds and threatens to ruin the foliage.

TAtKSWfTH- WQHTING Friendly "Sea Dogs" Agree That Their Nations Are Not Likely to Fight Los Angeles, Col.--That war be­ tween the United States and Japan is impossible Is the agreement of Rear AdmiiM^obley D. Evans, retired, and Admirar H. EL Ijichi, commander of the Japanese training squtidron now at San Pedro. Hie two "aea dogs," who are also friends, are at the same hotel and in a discussion Monday were of one mind on the question of jprobable conflict between their re­ spective countries. "I see they have been trying to yet us in trouble," said' Admiral 'Evans, * -• . v' "Yes," replied Admiral I|ichi. "But such a thing is perfectly ins possible. The United States and Japan under­ stand each other too well for anything of that kind. The people of yotir country and mine have too deep seat­ ed a friendship for each other to ever allow any trivial, matter to bring about trouble." "I agree with you*" said Admiral Evans. "Such a thought is ridic­ ulous." Admiral Ijichi told Admiral Evans he was delighted with his reception at Los Angeles. He commented upon the apparent friendliness of the officiate as well as the press and public and predicted that he and his men would be equally well received at 1 other American ports. "I would like to' know," inquired Admiral Evans, "how your people suc­ ceeded in raising the Russian ships which you sank and in what condition you found them?" Admiral Ijichi replied: "We raised the sunken battleships and cruisers at Port Arthur and Chemulpo without any great difficulty. We found that those at Port Arthur were not sunk by the mortar flre directed upon them from 203 Meter hill. None of the shells penetrated the protected decks, although the superstructure and gun mountings were badly shat­ tered. The ships were sunk by the Russians by opening the seacocks when they found the port must fall Into our hands. After raising the ships we found that the projectiles had penetrated the wooden decks, but had flattened out against the steel and were lying there. It evidently would not have been possible to sink the ships by the flre from the heights." Washington.--A report has reached Washington that Japanese spies, with the connivance of the republic of Colombia are entering the canal zone on the Isthmus of Panama and are making sketches of canal work and proposed defenses. After fortifications have been built to guard the canal, every one who has no proper business within them will be excluded, but until that time the government will not molest all the Japanese spies that wish to make sketches and obtain information. The attitude of this government is that at this time there is nothing to conceal. ADELE BOAS IS AT HOME. Millionaire's Missing Daughter Wat Work|ng in Restaurant When Par­ ents Thought Her Kidnaped.
