CoKsTANTINoPLE April 29-Nadir
Pasha the second eunich OF the palace
under the regime OF Abdul Hamid was
hanged at dawn today on the Galata bridge,
the great thoroughfare that connected
STEAMBOAT with the quarters OF Galata and
Pera. The body was allowed to swing until
3 o'clock In the morning and thousands Of
people stopped to look al the great Nubian
whose name was terror under Abdul
Hamid. The dead mans face showed an
undershot jaw ami thick. heavy lips. In
life he had been fully six feet inches
tail. Nadir was executed after trial by
court martial on the charge that he in
stigated the mutiny Of the troops on April
13 EIe was reputed TO be intensely am
bilious, subtle minded and insensible to
the sufferings of others. He was one of
thevtrio that formed Abdul Hands private
cabinet under the old regime. The other
members Of this cabinet were Izzet Pasha
and Fehem Pasha. The former, the sui
tan's secretary. is now in hiding in Lon
don. and the latter, who was head of the
sutan's spy system. has been assasslnatcd
somewhere IN Russia.
Nadlr Pasha came to the imperial palace
as a slave and grew up in that dollhouse OF
intrigue. Since the departure of Izzet
Pasha and Fehim Pasha, Abdul Hamid had
relied entirely upon Nadir. who is regarded
as having been the chief conspirator in
The events OF April 70.

HencefOrward the people will be allowed
to remain on the streets until 1890 at night.

the protection of the British authorities
here. They we're given asylum in English
houses.
