ConstantinopIe, April ZS.-The acute
stage Of the crisis seems TO have passed
The negotiations between the govern
ment and the Young Turks have ended in
a compromise. Abdul Hamid VIII retain
the throne while the constitution IS ad-
ditionally safszuarded.
According 10 The best available version
Of the happenings which led to this re-
suit, Chefket Pasha, on the part Of the
SalonfkizS- and Nazim Pasha, on behalf
Of the government. brought tactfui in
huences TO bear on the extremists Of
both parties. Chefket Pasha, whose
loyalty to both the Sultan and the con-
stitution is unQuestioned. found on his
arrival at the front from Sslonih that
the zeal Of the Young Turk politicians
was running ahead Of their discretion.
He apparently refused to listen to the
proposal to depose the Sultan and was
able to persuade the Young Turks that
inSistence on his majesty's deposition
would produce dangerous consequences in
Anatolia and probably in Constantnople
itself.
Makes All Arrangements
Nazim Pasha, on his part. readily
agreed to arrange the manner In which
the constitutional troops should enter
The capital and for their accommodation
after they entered.
Before the Sultan went 10 the Selam-
lik. the decision not TO disturb him was
made known TO him through a telegram
from Chefket Pasha-
The Sultan is reported to have sent to
Chefket Pasha a characteristic response,
the gfst of which was that he regarded
the question OF his person as less i'm
portanee than satisfactorily removing the
present disturbed conditions and pun
ishing the authors Of recent events.
He added that strict inquiry ought
TO be Immediately made into the asser-
ton that the soldiers had been led astray
by money, because If they had been
bribed TO take sides in political party
questions, mischief would inevitably
spread further than could be foreseen.

Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
of July Bird l would state that the in
land waterway across Florida PENN
suIa between the Atlantic and the gulf
is receiving full and careful cOnsid-
Grafton and is regarded as much a
part of the waterway as any other
portion of the route.
The surveys of the Florida canal
are under the immediate charge of
Captain George r. Spaulding, corps of
engineers, Z. S. army, Jacksonville,
and if my information is correct, con-
siderable work has already been done

The meeting of engineers in Wash

pose of systematizing the surveys and
having the maps and reports Of the
entire route from Cape Cod to the Rio
Crande submitted in a uniform man

which did not apply equally TO all
parts of the route, and 1 understand
