TURKS AWAKE TO
VALUE OF LIBERTY
Ten Thousand Persons Cheer
Sultan for PrOmulgating
New Constitution
People Compel Ministers of
State to Swear Fidelity
to New Order

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 26.-Sun-
day was given up to patriotic demon
strations and speeches in the general
rejoicing over the PRONUNCIATION of a
constitution by the sultan All the
steamers on the Bosphorus were deco
rated with flags and 10000 persons
who marched in procession to the
Yildiz kiosk cheered the sultan con-
tinuousIy.
The evening papers published an i'm
periaI rescript pointing out that, ow-
ing to the previous condition OF the
country, IL had been impossible to ap-
ply a constitution, but that now the
time had arrived to grant 1T to the
people. The hope was expressed in
the rescript that the people would CO.
operate with the parliament and the
sultan. The rescript concludes with
the imperial thanks for the popular
manifestations. During the demonstra-
tions the people compelled the minis
ters of state to swear fidelity to the
constitution.
The principal points Of the new con-
stitution are:
without trial; religious toleration; a
free press; equality of all Ottoman
subjects; security of property; inviola-
bility Of domicile and abolition OF tor
ture.
The general assembly will consist of
two chambers, the senators to be
chosen by the sultan for distinguished
services to the state, the deputies
to be elected in the proportion of one
for each 80, 900 Inhabitants.
Following the sultan's trade ordering
the dismissal of spies, these abhorred
persons who formerly haunted all the
public places have now completely
vanished. The newspapers are freely
indulging their new found liberty and
are expressing the greatest JOY over
the granting of a constitution.
No date has yet been fixed for the
convocation Of a parliament and 1t is
unknown whether those who have been
involved in recent muttnies are in
cluded in the amnesty.
1t IS reported that the second army
corps is cooperating with the third
army corps in Macedonia and will con-
tinue to exert pressure until full
amnesty is granted a constitution is in
force.
The clericals are said TO support the
military movement for a constitution
and it is believed that the demand for
the dismissal of large number OF
palace officials will be persisted in.

Marshal Kane's Project.

Editor National Tribune: What was
"the project of Marshal Kane" men,
toned in Gen. Lees letter to Jefferson
Davis, June 26, 1864? The letter dis
cusses the possibilities of Early's expe-
dition down the Shenandoah Valley, in
vasion of Maryland, release of the pris-
oners at Point Lookout, capture OF
Washington, ETC., in which he says,
with relation to the project of Mar
shall Kane, if the matter can be kept
secret, which 1 fear is impossible,
should Gen. Early cross the Potomac, he
might be sent to join him."-S. C. Far
rar, Pittsburg, Pa.
We cannot find the letter giving the
specific plot of Marshal Kane to which
our comrade refers. Kane, who had
been Marshal of Baltimore, was an ar
dent rebel and constantly filled with
schemes of one kind and another for
making trouble for the Yankees. There
are a number of his communications in
the War Records but this particular one
does not appear. Among his schemes
was one to raise a regiment of Mary
landers in 1864 and for heavy artillery
and sink the vessels on the Potomac
cut the telegraph wires and otherwise
interrupt the communication between
Gen. Grant and the Capital. Marshal
Kane was continually representing the
citizens of Maryland as ground under
the heel Of Yankee tyranny and eager
to do something to throw off their
chains.-Editor National Tribune.

about SO cents per carat, was convert
