SULTANSURRENDERS
TURKEYS RULER HAS TO BE
GOOD AFTER THE BATTLE.
Abdul Hamid Permitted to Remain in
Palace, Although a Prisoner-Consti-
tutional Party Is Supreme Again
Martial Law Prevails and Order Main
tained-over 1000 Lives Lost.

Constantinople, April 26.-The Yildiz
garrison surrendered Sunday to the con-
stitutionalists. The commanders of
these battalions began sending notices
of their submission to Mahmoud Shelf
ket Pasha the night before, and the
troops protecting the palace gave their
formal and unconditional surrender
shortly after dawn.
Sultan Abdul Hamid has been permit
ted to remain within the walls of the
Yildiz Kiosk, where, in company with
his minister, he heard the story of the
struggle between his loyal troops and
the army of investment, each hour
bringing word of fresh disaster. 1t
has been stated, since victory rested
with the constitutionalists, that the sui
tan himself gave orders to his men not
to resist.
Whether or not this is true it can be
safely said of the troops within the
capital that they put up a stubborn
resistance at all points, and the losses
on both sides are exceedingly heavy for
the length of time the engagement was
in progress.
At night unsympathetic and resolute
soldiers stood guard around the sultan.
He has not been deposed, but his sub
jects talk openly of whether he shall
remain even the nominal head of the
empire.
The constitutional party is supreme
again, but the zealots are busy in the
eastern provinces, striving to arouse
Asiatic Mohommedanism against "inf-
del culture.''

REPORTS FROM GRAIN BELTS.
Outlook for Big Yields in Inland En-
pire Farms,

pre- Farms.
Reports from the grain belts in east
ern Washington and Oregon, northern
and central Idaho and western Montana.
compiled by August Wolf of the Spo,
kae chamber of commerce, show that the
wheat yield in the Inland Empire will
be near the 100000 bushel mark this
season, as against 65,O0O,O0O bushels in
1907, the banner year in the history of
the district. Conditions are also favor
able for bumper crops of oats and other
cereals.
The acreage of winter wheat is as
large as it has ever been, while there
will be an increase of from 10 to Is Der
cent in spring-sown grain. What this
means to the farmers of this part of the
northwest will be better understood
when it is known that 50-cent wheat is
profitable, 65-cent grain yields big re-.
turns, while from 75-cent to 81 wheat
becomes the basis of fortunes.
More than 100000 acres of land in
10 counties in eastern Washington
yielded 4O,675,OOO bushels of wheat in
1907.
Farmers throughout the country be-
