denied having made the statement

John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defence, admitted that two of their
alienists were of the opinion that the

did not agree with them.

THE FATE OF THE SULTAN
STILL HANGS IN BALANCE,
Young Turks Apparently in Full Control of
Turkey-=-Sultan Offers to Place Gov
eminent in Hands of Ministers.

Constantirople, April 22.-The Young
Turks have won another victory over
Sultan Abdul Hamid, but whether the
Sultan will remain as sovereign Of the
empire is yet to be decided, although
he has offered to place the affairs of
government entirely in the hands of the
ministers responsible to Parliament.
Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier. ar
ranged compromise today with GER
tain influential Constituencies and
this was approved by the Sultan per-
sonally, but doubts exist whether this
agreement will be accepted by the ma
jority of the Committee on Union and
Progress or by enough of the military
group to carry it into effect.
Besides promising to withdraw HIM
self from administrative activities, the
Sultan agrees to a change in the per-
sonnet of the troops guarding the pal
ace. and the replacing of the CONSTANT
nople garrison by troops from the corps
which has practically been investing
the city for four days
The Chamber of Deputies and some
of the senators met today at San Ste
fano and are now discussing the ques-
ton Of the deposition of the Sultan.
The warsEips have gone to that place
and officers and men have offered their
services to the Constitutional party.
Mahmoud Schefkit Pasha. commander
of the Sd Army Corps, has arrived at
that place. but the concentration of the
investing army is now complete. Doubt
less the next "a hours will decide the
fate of the Sultan, who remains pas

Senate Is Asked to Confirm
Action Of the House
Relative to the Duty on Wood Pulp
And Print Paper.

New York, April 22.-At a meeting
Of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association held here today the follow
ing minute was adopted
The American Newspaper Publish
ers Association at it's annual meeting
in New York today with the largest
attendance in the history of the or
ganization comprising representatives
of $40 daily newspapers, instructs it's
secretary to telegraph and write i'm
mediatcly to each United States sena-
tor advising him that the association
by rising vote earnestly urges the
confirmation by the Senate of the ac-
ton of the House of Representatives in
the matter of pulp and print paper.
THE investigation made by the Sc
lect committee of the House of Repre-
SentatiVeS covering a period of 10
months and surprising in thorough
ness any trade inquiry ever attempted
in tariff history, has shown that Amer
lean paper mills actually make paper
cheaper than the most modern Cana
dian mill and therefore any import
duty upon print paper is in the nature
of a concession to the American mills.
We are informed that the paper manu-
facturers are trying to induce the Sen
ate to raise the rate of duty fixed by
the Payne bill. The success of such an
effort would prevent the possibility
of an arrangement with Canada, which
arrangement the select committee
deemed Of utmost Importance in order
that we might continue to obtain from
that country the considerable supply of
pulp wood now used by the American
mills in news print paper manufacture.
THE well matured and unanimous
recommendations of the select commit
political parties have safegUarded the
interests of papermakers and consum-
ers against the possibility of hostile
action by Canada.
I'VE protest against any procedure
which will ignore the work and results
of the House committees Investigations
and which have been provoking a trade
war and, stopping the operation of pulp
wool from Canada. may bring great
