CoNsrANTINoPLE, May 9.--It is now evil
dent that the main object Of inquiry into
the death of the Sultan Abdul ASH was to
prevent any future combination of the
men who deposed Abdul ASH, and not to
establish the truth regarding the manner
of his death. Numerous arrests among
the military have been made. The bat
talon which assisted to depose Abdul ASH
has been broken up and the officers sent to
distant posts. 1t is believed there will be
no public trial Of the accused, but they
will be quietly exiled. 1t is reported that
Mahomed Diamond Pasha has already been
sent away on a man-of-war which left the
Bosphorus under secret orders.

DURHAM, May 9.-The British residents
in the Transvaal are leaving no stone un-
turned to upset the settlement. There are
exaggerated accounts of the doings of both

anxiety.

PARIS, May "a correspondent made
the following account of the latest scien-
tifc sensation: A remarkably interesting
experiment has just been made between
Calias and Dover. between which places
conversation has been kept up, viva voee,
by means of a new kind Of telephone,
which has been patented under the name
Of the f" ~electrophone." Not only were
words whispered into the apparatus at
Calais distinctly heard at Dover, and of
course, vice versa, but the listener was
perfectly well able to distinguish by the
mere tones Of the voice the person who
was speaking at the other end. 1t should
be observed that while the human voice
was being transmitted through one q the
wires, the other wires were being used for
the transmission of ordinary telegraph
messages. Moreover, the experiments
were conducted between the hours Of 10
and 4 o'clock, which is the busiest ~partlof
the day, when the wires are in unceasing
requisition. The voice of the speaker was
distinctly heard as soon as the wires we're
joined to the apparatus, and conversations
were carried on without interruption in
the presence Of competent spectators. Ex-
periments with the same apparatus were
then continued without interruption in
the midst Of conversation produced by the
simultaneous working of several machines,
At the London terminal station the voice
of the speaker was heard as plainly as
though he had been in the room. There
can be no longer any doubt hat it is per.
fectly feasible to converse across, or rather
under, the sea by means of any submarine
cable. The inventor maintains that it ID
just as easy to talk across the Atlantic al
from one room to another.

up quietly with q beating. Lord Shrews.
bury's mother is very ill.
