(By United Press
LONDON, March S.-The Berlin Tag
blatt prints a special dispatch flom
Constantinople reporting the death of
Ex-Sultan Murad V. who succeeded his
uncle, Sultan, Abdul Agiz on May 80,
1876, and was deposed in favor of his
brother, the present Sultan, on August
31st of the same year. Murad was edu-
Gated outside the Harem, and in addition
to his unusual attainmens, he imbibed a
disposition to institute reforms entirely
at variance with the Moslem policy and
tradition.
His peculiar tendency soou attracted
the attention of the Shiek. Ul-Islam.
who caused it to be understood, true, or
not, that the Commander Of the Faith
full was insane.
The exhibition of Murad's attempts to
introduce reforms being most convinc-
ing evidence to the mind of a Turk, of
the insanity Of the would be reformer,
Murad was accordingly depcsed, after a
reign of three months; and has since, it is
alleged, been confined in palace:
though, as nobody ever afterwards laid
eyes on him, ii is widely believed that
bis death occurred almost immediately
after his dethrOnement.

stratiOn Meetings to be Held To-Day
--Distinguished Men to Speak.
[By United Press.]
LONDON, March 8.-At the Cabinet
council which was held to-day, Mr.. ".
H. Smith urged his colleagues to accept
the amendment to his own motion, Of
which notice of introduction was given
by Mr.. Jennings in the House last
night.
After brief discussion the Cabinet
rejected Mr.. Smitht proposition and re-
solved to stand up on its own idea Of
the construction which should be placed
upon the commissions report by the
Ministry. Meanwhile the government
organs are earnestly appealing to Lord
Randolph Churchill and Mr.. Jennings
to withdraw the amendment, making
no concealment of their fears as to the
effect of Lord Randolph's speech in sup.
port thereof. Even now, moderate Con-
servatives express belief that the gov
ernment majority on the motion will
not exceed fifty, while many of the
liberal politicians, who have pretty
thoroughly canvassed the situation, are
convinced that it will not exceed forty.
The meeting to express Indignation
and horror at the recently reported NAL
treatment and slaughter of political
prisoners in Russia, which is to be held
on the Thames embankment tomorrow
promises to be an enormous affair. In
accordance with the arrangements an i'm
mense procession will march to the en-
bankment where stands have been erected
from which speeches will be delivered by
Mr.. John Morley, Prof. James Stuart,
Mr.. John Byrns, Mr.. Labouchere, Prince
Krapotkine Hepniak and others.

when disconnected, will be let down by
machinery, so as to remain unbroken.
The heavier limbs viii be treated in the
same way. 1t will be removed thus by
sections clear to the roots, and be
brought in sections to Chicago, and
erected and held back in its original
grandeur by steel and iron bars and
bolts. The cost OF the work will be
$4,000.
There is much to be seen OF interest
IN building, paving and drainage lines
at the free exhibition on the ground
floor OF the Rialto building of the pro-
ducts of the four southern coun-
ties of California-Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Orange and San Diego.
There are seventy-fve different kinds
OF the celebrated "verde antique"
marble, the variegated stone used
in wainscotng and finer ornamen-
tai work, but in California for COM
moner uses in buildings. There are
also burned garnet which admits OF
fine polish; granite of various kinds for
architectural, monumental or paving
purposes; graphite, jasper, bituminous
rock, all of which for years have been
used in street paving under heavy traffic
in Los Angeles, London, Paris and Yer
sailles. This rock is broken, heated
until 1t runs like syrup, spread on the
streets and rolled under heavy pressure.
1t soon becomes SO hard that a crowbar
cannot break it. Samples of asphalt
are shown such as form the sidewalks of
San Francisco, Santa Cruz and other
California cities. Then there is the as
bestos rock, Gin the rough" as well as
made into sewer tile which have re-
placed brick and wood in subterranean
drainage in that state. In wood there
are the eucalyptus, introduced
from Australia and widely used
in the erection of buildings; red
wood, the favorite structural material
orange, apricot, English walnut, olive,
almond, and other woods for ornamental
work, such as panels; elder, with the
stalk or trunk two feet in diameter;
castor bean saplings, six inches in
diameter; the pepper tree, the fancest
OF all ornamental California woods. The
tree is very outrageous, and the berries,
though not the pepper of commerce, are
astringent to the taste. None of these
articles are for sale. No orders are
taken. 1t is merely scheme to bring
these marvellous products to the atten-
tion OF the world by maintaining per-
manent free exhibit in Chicago. The
general manager of the exhibit is Ben
G. Truman. who was for long time pri-
vate secretary of President Johnson, but
who is more widely known as the author
of The Field of Honor, the standard
work on Guelinp
