THE Fy-sUITAN,s DOWNFALL.

The tragic fate OF Abdul Aziz imparts renewed in
terest To the story of his fall from power The Incl
deuts which attended his overthrow and imprison-
ment appear to be as follows: Tie Min
isters assembled on Monday last at
the residence of the Grand Vizier and
discussed the state of public affairs. They
cluded that unless some radical measures were
adopted general rebellion and total collapse OF the
State would result A resolution was adopted en-
bodying these views, and petition to the
Sultan vas drawn up praying him to abdi'
cate in order to save the country The sui
tan received the petition with affected COM
posure aud said he would consider the matter. On
Tuesday there a great popular demonstration in
the streets The trade gnilds headed by the Softas,
marched to the Sultan's Palace, unopposed by the
military, who were evidently disatected- Tbs
crowd cheered for Murad and demanded tse down.
fall of Abdul Aziz. Il the mean time Mc:s5
having been released from his own house TO which
he had been confined by the Sultan conducted
to the mosque and declared Sultan Aurad
the Fifth. Soon after this. Suleiman Pdsha, accom-
panied hy sol Tiers and officers informed Abdul Aziz
that the nation had depoSed him, and he should
surrender the palace to his successor The attitude
of the troops convinced Aziz that resistance
possible. Accordingly he with his family, house,
hold. and 53 boats flied with women lef5 the build
ing, and were conveyed under escort to the Tchera-
gan Palace
Immediately after his overthrow reports
current that the Sultan had been murdered. His
fate created deep concern in the royal
courts of Europe Queen Victoria took steps
at once TO be assured Of his personal
safety. This anxiety was allayed by teegraphic
circular from the Porte wherein it was stated that
the ex-Sultan would be treated with the considera-
tion and honor due to his person The pa
vilion belonging to the Tcheragan Palace,
on the BDsphou', had been assigned him as
a residence. THIS building is n wooden structure,
with fine platform built out before il to the waters
edge. Despite the official assurance rumOrs have
been current that the ex-Sultan would be
sent to Asia Minor, where it WOULD be
out of his power to disturb the Govern
ment IL may have been fears of this step rs we'll
as the hostility of the Yizier, which led Abdul
Aziz to commit suicide. The leading incidents Of
his career were given in TIE TRIBUNE of Wednes-
day last. In brief, they follows: He was the
son of a sanguinary despot and was born in 1880.
He assembled the Ottoman throne IN 1861 and for
several years gave promise of being wise and pru-
dent ruler. He failed, however, to carry out the re-
forms he initiated and allowed the State to drift into
insolvency and disorder. During his reign there
were revolts in Crete and herzegovina. The weak
ness he betrayed in dealing with the latter caused
the disaft,cton which resulted in his fall

SPEECHES ON INDIAN TRANSFER.

HARD Is TIE HOUSE.

HARD IN TIE HOUSE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIsUSEl
WASHINGTON June 1.-The House again consid-
ered till late hour last evening" the Indian Appro-
priation bill The work was getting along very rap
idly until the section relating to the removal Of the
Indian Bureau to the War Department was reached.
This section provides for the discontinuance
of all officers and employees in the Indian
service and the employment in their stead of army
officers and soldiers, and others, without extra
compensation Mr.. McCrary of Iowa made the point
of order that the section was legislation. not
admissible under the rules in an appropriation bill,
and that it did not appear on its face that 1t would
retrench expenditures. lie made very good speech,
which was I'm the same line as the Speakers decision
when similar section was sought TO be affixed to
the Legislative bill. Mr.. Randall claimed that the
section did retrench and that il was therefore ger
man. He read statement showing the amounts
now being paid under existing laws which had been
dropped from the bill under discussion in conse-
quence Of the transfer section. The amount was
nearly $500 900, and Mr.. Randall thought it might
possibly reach million
Prof seeye opposed the transfer, and said the
War WAS the most extravagant department under
the Government. He referred TO the removal of GER
tain Indians from the Indian Territory to Florida.
The requisition of the War Department for keeping
these G7 Indians was for 81 900 wear for their
food and clothing alone. Mr.. Seclye said the House
has been contending over proposed expenditure by
the Interior Department Of i cents day for these
Indians and mas decided it could not ahorl 10 grant
IT, while the War Department is at the rate Of 100
per cent more lie thought the Indian Bureau ought
not TO he removed.
Mr. Randall replied to Mr.. Seelye, and said the
condition of the inancess OF the country is such that
the recommendations of his Committee must be fol
lowed apd retrenchmcnt must be made or there
woad be a deficiency Of S3j, ,000 600 or 100000
between the receipts and expenditures. Mr. Kelley
got IN word or two about issuing more gold-beai-
ing bonds in the place Of silver MIR. Foster
wanted the tariff revised, and other mcm-
bers wanted something else Mr.. Phillips
of Kansas made the most sensible speech;
he called attention TO the fact that the object oi the
section under debate has been accompl shed so far
as the House is concerned for it has already passed
q bill, which is now pending in the Senate, trans
ferring the Indian Bureau to the War Department..
Ills was q duplication of legislation. he Thought.
The Chairman did not decide the point Of order, but
DELAYED his decision until tomorrow.

PRoF. WHITNEY ON PHONETIC SPELL1Nd. At the session of the Spelling Reform Association, which was held at Philadel- phia last Thursday, the following letter was read from Professor W. D. Whitney of Yale College which had been written to Professor Beard, 8 member of the as- sociation:
 ''The date of this letter will be sufficient to show you thatIs am unable to accept your polite invitation to the Philadelphia meeting on the Reform of English Or thograpny. fear that even if present I should be of no particular ser
 vice. My interest in the general cause I have variously testified. have es. pecially felt called upon as an historical student of languages and of modes of wri- ting, to protest in the name of sound sci encca as we'll as of common sense against the worthless arguments popularly brought forward in opposition to chan ged and consistent spelling of English, and to demonstrated, their Worthlessness. That scholars and men of enlightenment should come to hold the true opinion on this. subject has seemed to mea sneces- sary preliminary to a. reform movement. So far as Americans are concerned this end appears now to be pretty fully attain ed certainly there are few in Sour com munity deserving the name of scholar who do not confess that an historical ,speniugis is in principle indefensib1e, that it has no support save in our customs and preiudices.u When it comes, however to the practical question of new ortho- graphic method. the difficulty becomes of another sort and vastly greatersA and have no positive proposal to bring for ward; indeed, I hardly feel justified even in making congestion.

I Ehave' been sometimes tempted to say that should not think the progressive made in account, until we could agitate for the true ('Continentap or ftallan,) representation of the9 vowel sounds; but that perhaps would be un- reasonable. although I look upon the point as ono of prlmel ultimate ~impor- tance.
