SULTAN MURAD DEAD.

Imprisoned Ex-Ruler of Turkey Passes
Away After Long DURANGO
Former Sultan Murad ", one OF the
saddest characters of modern history.
died Monday of diabetes, from which he
had long suffered. One Of the most noted
Of royal captives was ex-Sultan Murad
Of Turkey, who since 1876, when he was
deposed after a few weeks reign, had
been kept a prisoner in the Tcheragan
palace in the outskirts of Constantinople.
The approaches to this gloomy abode are
strictly guarded by soldiers and police,
and to such an extent is the surveillance
kept up that pedestrians, as well as peo-
pie in carriages and on horseback, are
roughly ordered to hasten when in the
vicinity Of the palace. Murad was de-
prived Of his throne on the score of in
sanity, and the ministers, headed by Mid
hat Pasha, had arranged that Abdul
Hamid should be merely regent during
his brothers illness. But at the last mo-
ment, when the ministers had advanced
too far to retreat, Abdul Hamid insisted
on being proclaimed Sultan, handing,
however, to Midhat a written promise
pledging himself to restore the throne to
Murad as soon as he recovered his rea-
son. What has become of this docu-
ment it is impossible to say. Accord
ing to some, Abdul Hamid had recovered
possession thereof; according to others,
1t Is still in existence-in safe keeping
in London. Equal mystery prevailed with
regard to the condition of Murad. 1t
was said that he had recovered his rea-
son long ago and was perfectly sane; and
as he held high grade in Free Masonry
strong appeals were made to King Ed
ward and to other sovereign members of
the craft to use their influence in behalf
of his liberation.

Foe-1O,OOO Islanders Slain.

Lao Yang, the magnifcently forti-
fed Manchurian town which has been
so stubbornly defended by the Rus
sian forces under General Kuropatkin,
has been occupied by the Japanese.
The evacuation of the town was
forced by General Kurokis army,
which, crossing the Taitse, twenty
miles east Of Lao Yang. threatened
the Russian troops with a fanking
movement which would have placed
them between two fires, the armies of
Generals Nodzu and Oku enveloping
the front.
Charged with bayonets and show
cred with hail of shrapnel from the
enemy's death-dealing artillery, the
Russian forces were forced to evac-
uate the town and beat a hasty retreat
to the north Of the Taitse River, hotly
