SULTAN BIDING TINE
TO YIELD TO BRITAIN
Irritated by Germany's Refusal. to
Come to His Aid in
Crisis.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 10.-The
Sultan has not yet shown any signs Of
backing down in the face of the British
ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of
Turkish troops from Tabah. The Turkish
ruler is becoming sullen. owing to sur
prises encountered in the present crisis,
namely the aloofness manifested by
Germany in the matter, and the deter
mination shown by Great Britain. The
porte has relied upon the moral support
Of Germany during the critical phases OF
situation east of the Suez canal In the
present. Germany has not only abstain
ed from giving encouragement, but on
Sunday the Kaiser sent an autograph
letter to Abdul Hamid, counseling him
to Weld.
This letter irritated the Sultan great
lv. and this is responsible for the de-
tention of the German sailing vessel
Odyeseus in the Bosphorus- Two forth
coming German expeditions to Syria for
scientific and commercial purposes are
likely TO meet the baclIwash OF this an
tagOnism for Germany
The preparations for naval operations
against Turkey are much more complete
than the Sultan expected, but Abdul
Hamid does not fear a blockade of the
BOsphorus. believing that if Great
Britain tried to take such action she
would soon clash with Russia. Never
theless. it is understood that the Sultan

The city is gayly attired and the
weather is fine for tOday's epoch-mak-

first parliament in Russia's history.
Houses and all the public buildings are
decorated with flags and bunting. All
shops and other places of business are
closed. and the day is being observed,
by a government order as nartvz71
holiday.
At an early hour this morning the
streets were partly filled with people
but no crowds formed owing TO the
strict orders issued to the police TO pre-

troops are in the city. but the govern
ment officials are keeping them con-

Practically none are visible in the
streets except about the winter palace.
Access to the palace square and quays
near the palace is barred by the
