Constantinople, July 24.-An inn
peral trade issued Friday morning Or
dains the assembling of a chamber of
deputies in accordance with con-
stitution which has been elaborated by
the Sultan. The trade has been COM
municated to the Wallis and the dis
trict lieutenant governor with the
necessary orders for the holding of
elections
The constitution, which the trade
now makes effective, is practically the
one worked out in 1876.
The grand vizicr Immediately took
steps to carry out the orders of his
imperial master. He addressed to an
the provincial authorities concerned a
circular telegram converting the cham
Der of deputies i'm which he pointed
out that the method of forming the
chamber is determined by an organic
statute which. according to official
communication. is an 'ilIustrious In

Startling as waa the grand DISMISS

step was as nothing compared to the
sensation created in all quarters Fri

volt in the army. unprecedented in the
history of the Turkish empire. some
change was inevitable and that far
reaching measures of reform in the
central government were bound to be
inaugurated. But the drastic actions
of the Sultan who took the reins into
his own hands and by the stroke of a
pen. suddenly yielded to the demands
of the Young Turks and restored the

The immediate cause of the Sui

receipt of telegram from the AL
banians of Uskub to His Majesty in
forming him that they had taken their
oath to favor the ret establishment of
the constitution. This message land

The former grand vizier. Said Pasha,

ruin came to an end and some steps
were taken towards granting me as

IS CONTINUED
Last Years Modus Vi
vendi Now Effective.
viii Govern American Fisher
men In New Found|and Waters
Until Entire Question Is Settled by
The hague Tribunal.

Washington, July PA continue
ton of the present modus vivendi
governing the New Foundand fish
cries and the rights of American fish
ermen there has been agreed upon as
result of correspondence between
the state department and the British
foreign office. BY this means friction
over the acts of American fishermen
in New Foundland waters will be
avoided pending a settlement of the
whole question before The Hague trl-
bunal. None of the rights of the sub
jects of either government are i'm
paired by this action.
A distinct advantage is to be found
in the continuation at this time Of last
years modus vivendi, because it is
anticipatory of the fishing season
which begins in August and hence re-
moves ground for serious complica-
tions which are constantly apt to arise
in the absence of any well defined I'M
derstanding and agreement covering
the fisheries.
Last years modus vivendi was not
ratified until Sept. 4, after long cor
respOndence between the state depart
ment and the foreign office at London.
1t is understood that the modus vi
vendi is in precisely the same terms
as that of last year. That instrument
worked apparently very satisfactorily
and the season closed without any
serious hitch between American fish
ermen and New Foundland authorities.
There have always been many diff
culties to overcome by the state de-
p,.<,, G.,l,D ,,;o
question, partly because of the inSis-
tencc of the New Foundlanders on
their right to legislate locally as to the
fisheries, so long as such legislation
did not in terms discriminate against
Americans and their contention that
they are not thereby infringing the
treaty rights of Americans, a conten-
ton that the British government in
measure at least had to concede.
Then there was the matter of the
use of purse seines and the opposition
by New Foundland last year to the
renewal of that paragraph of the
modus vivendi of the previous season
which legaIized the enlistment of the
New Foundland fishermen as members
of the crews of American fishing
smacks. All of the differences were
satisfactorily adjusted however,
through mutual concessions and the
troublesome question was settled for
the time being.
The continuation of last years
modus vivendi at this early day will
enable the New England fishermen
who contemplate doing a seasons
work in New Foundland waters i'm
mediately to make their arrangements
for that work and they will know be-
fore starting out just what they can
and what they cannot do.
Professor Alexander of the Ameri-
can fish commission, following his
practice for several years, will soon
go on the government vessel Potomac
to the Bay of Islands on the west
coast of New Foundland to advise
American fishermen of their rights, so
as to obviate any clash or friction
with local New Foundland officials.
