Cause of the Uprising.
The situation in Constantinople has
been extremely strained for several
weeks past owing to the great bitter
ness between the committee of union
and progress and the liberals. The
liberals resent the attempts OF the
committee to control public affairs.
The murder of Hassan Fehmi Eff
fendi, editor of the liberal newspaper
Serbesti, on April is thought here
to have been the climax of this politi-
cal feud
The Serbesti had been carrying on
union and progress, in other words,
the Young Turks.
Grand Vizier Harangues Crowd.
Violent demonstrations both inside
parliament an in the streets adjacent
followed the killing of the editor. The
grand viZier and the president of the
chamber were obliged to harangue the
crowds outside and assure them that
justice would be done.
The chamber accepted an interpret
lation denouncing the crime as a po-
litical murder and calling upon the
government to take the necessary
steps to arrest the assassin.

NIAGARA AGAIN

Damage by Immense Ice Jam
One Million Dollars.
THOUSANDS Of VISITORS

MATURE Is Presenting a Spectacle
Which Probably Won't Be Dupli-
cateo Again In a observation-disclosures
cedented Weather is Responsible
For Unprecedented Conditions-The
River Reaches a Point Forty Feet
Above Its Normal Mark.
The voice of Niagara is mute for the
second time in the memory OF man.
The first time was late in February,
when, following a severe nOrtherly
blow, the falls ran dry. Now, follow
ing severe southwestern, the river is
frozen solid from bank to bank.
Unprecedented weather has brought
about unprecedented conditions. Last
Wednesday the worst gale of the sea-
son and the most violent in the history
of the weather bureau for April was
recorded and, following the lakes and
the channel of the Niagara, left ruin
in it's wake. The solid ice fields OF
Lake Erie were churned from end to
end and piled in huge mass at the
lower end of the lake.
Ice Bridge Swept Away.
At Niagara Tails there had been a
heavy ice bridge in the pool below the
cataract since the middle of winter.
Under the impact of the mass of ice,
the bridge gave way and began to
surge down the rapids. But before it
could xxyiy1 frnndnY1o in tho annie waters
of Lake Ontario, the wind shifted
again to the north. Instantly the NOV
ing foes packed at the mouth OF the
river. Each instant of cold congeaied
the pack more solidly and each hour
brought added pressure from above.
The previous high mark for the river
was twenty-eight feet above normal.
On Friday the waters were forty feet
higher than normal Machinery In
power plants has been ruined. Rail-
road tracks have been swept away.
Pumping stations, boat houses, fishing
shacks and piers have been wrecked,
many structures being buried under
tons of ice.
Damage 100000.
Conservative estimates place the
damage at $1,OOO,OO0. A constant
stream Nof visitors poured down the
railway tracks, the trolley tracks,
packed the trains and the cars and
even rode and walked cross country to
see sight that is not likely to repeat
itself within the present generation.
Under brilliant sun the river lay
white and glistening to the horizon.
And it was silent, absolutely voiceless.
The best that can be hoped for is a
succession of calm. warm days. Then
the ice will melt gradually and SUBJ
side bit by bit. Already it has sunk
five and in spots ten feet, as the sup
port of the water beneath has been
withdrawn.
The worst that could happen would
be another violent blow from the
southwest. BY no means all Of the ice
in the lake is out. For the moment
the upper reaches of the river are run
ming clear, but as far as the eye can
see, the white mantle blankets the
lake. If that great mass should be
driven down on to the jam below, the
damage would be inconceivable.
