The Sultan Finally Consents to Sign tn
scheme of Reform.

LONDON, Oct 1s-The Chronicle
publishes Constantinople dispatch
saying that the sultan gave an audi.
ence 10 his ministers early on Wednes'
day. They implored him to sign the
scheme of reform submitted by the
powers. and his majesty at last gave
way and consented 10 do so.
While one part of the populace has
been pac fed by the announcement OF
the accef ance If the scheme, there is
great excitement in Constantinople
proper. where there are signs OF
strong popular feeling against the
scheme. The Softas, Mohammedan
theological students. are crowaing to-
ge;her from all directions. Patrols of
soldiers are stationed at every hun.
dred yards about the city.
The paper expresses the fear that
English opposition will be greatly dis
appointed when the terms Of the
scheme are made known. but adds
that probably Sir Phillip currie. the
British ambassador To Turkey. has
done the best possible without caus-
ing n serious breach between Great
Britain and Russia. The paper adds
that the terms. however. are far short
of what Lord Salisbury demanded
some time ago. and propheSies that the
temporary solution OF the Armenian
question will not save the sultan from
a more dangerous ant;-dynastic out
break. of which he himself will prob
ably be the victim

The New Bond Issue

tions now pending in the East, incident
to placing new issue of United States
bonds to the amount of about $65, 900, 900,
have caused sudden reduction here in
rates of exchange on New York and a
consequent heavy call on the local gold
supply AS to the extent of this demand
and the general effect no one qualified to
speak on the subject seems willing to
United States sub-treasury says that there
is nothing particularly alarming in the
situation, the sudden call being due to
thief act that American gold is wanted
abroad for the purchase of the new bonds
by a syndicate. New York being the
natural market, California is called upon
to supply the market.

pineappIes Gone Too

Cocoa, Feb. S.-During the past eighteen
the mercury that has probably ever been
known here. Thursday was balmy, de-
lightful, typical Florida day up to 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, when the wind
rose and continued westerly for several
colder. By Friday morning the wind was
due north and the thermometer was down
to IS. Icicles glisten in the sunshine.
Water freezes in ten minutee in the open
air, and the river is whipped into break
ers five feet high.
The second crop of vegetables, that the
December freeze necessitated planting,
was up and doing beautifully, but is now
laid low again. and the last hope of a
marketable crop of any kind is gone 1t
is feared that the pineapples are all gone

cred where they were growing tomato
plants have lost them and will have to
start over anew.
1t is said by many people to have been
colder than before, but the thermometer
does not bear out the statement. 1t is
estimated that about three hundred acres
of green peas, that would have soon been
ready for market, in this portion of the
county have been frozen to the ground.
The loss on strawberries is almost COM
plete. Had it not been for this cold snap,
shipments would have commenced in
four or Eve days. As 1t is, it Will be at
least one month before the farmers can
realize anything from this source. The
acreage is large in this immediate vi
cinitY.

At st. Augustine

st. Augustine Feb. S.-The change in
the temperature here during the past
twenty-four hours has been something
unprecedented. Yesterday morning the
mercury was in the seventies, and straw
hats and light spring suits were worn on
the streets by the men, while the women
were out in pretty shirt waists and serge
skirts, without a wrap of any description.
This morning nothing but the warmest of
garments were comfortable.
The temperature began to fall soon after
noon yesterday and by shutdown it was
blowing almost a gale. The wind was
from west by southwest, and every hour
it became colder. The visitors here saw
nothing tempting in moonlight stroll,
and kept indoors. Several hundred went
to the dog show, and shivered during the
entire performance, fearing every moment
that the wind would blow the tent down
upon them. The exhibition was good,
and no one left until the performance
was over, although every one was nearly
frozen stiff, with the thermometer at 40.
The mercury did not fall to the freez-
ing point until early this morning, but it
fell rapidly, and had reached as low as IA
degrees above before daylight. The morn
ing was clear and sun rose warm and
bright, but it was slow progress warming
the atmosphere with a stiff wind blowing
cold efrom the west The thermometer
rose steadily and at noon it registered %
degrees in the shade, with the wind still
blowing great guns.

trees will suffer terribly. Younger trees
not killed in December are now given up.
Large numbers of older ones are dead.

Ten Degrees at Paiatka

Palatka, Feb 8.-The cold wave struc
here yesterday afternoon in full force. At
8 O'Clock last night the thermometer reg
istered q degrees, and at 80 this morn
ing it was 10 degrees above zero. This is
colder by degrees than it was in the
December freeze. A great many of the
truck growers in this section have lost
their second crop of peas, beans and to-
matoes, and are very much discouraged.
1t is believed that tine strawberry crop has
also been ruined by last nights cold, as
the vines were in full bloom. At pm.
today the thermometer registered % de-
grees, and indications tonight are that it
will be colder.
