NIAGARA GORGE
THREATENS ruin
Mountains of Ice May Cause New
Channel to Form.
Famous Suspension Bridge in Danger
OF Observation-Disclosures Frozen
for First Time in History-River
Carries Torrents of Ice From
Lake Erie.

Niagara Falls, April 22.-Vast areas
OF angry water and mountains of ice,
backed up by the gorge in Niagara
river, threaten to cut new channel
and destroy one side, at least, of the
famous falls, one of the chief wonders
of the eiworld. The famous spidery sus-
pension bridge, once the highest and
longest in the world, and admittedly
one of the most famous engineering
projects, is in imminent danger Of
destruction.
At Niagara-on-the-L Lake the river is
10 feet above the normal level, and is
still rising.
The gorge road which skirts the
American shore is almost obliterated.
The great whirlpool, which has never
in the memory of the white man sub
mitted to the will of the ice, is lost to
view under the pack, which at that
point spans the stream, and every min
ute the covering of ice is becoming
thicker.
The pressure of the on-rush from
Lake Erie has piled the far stretches
in great concentric ridges, some of
them rising to height of SO feet. 1t
is possible with the aid of a plank to
cross the pool from shore to shore.

MASSACRES SPREAD NORTH.
New Regions Affected by FanaticaI
Wave of SIayng.

Constantinople, April %. = The
spread of the wave of massacre and
death to Erzerum, the principal town
of Turkish Armenia, in a district far
removed to the north from that hither-
to affected by the wave of fanaticism,
is leading to the conclusion here that
the outrages are being inspired by the
sultan, more or less directly, as coun-
ter move in politics to the constitu-
tional movement of the Young Turks.
Weight is given this conclusion by
the change in feeling on the part of
the Armenians, who are now ceasing
their enthusiastic hailing of the con-
stitutional government, and appealing
again for the laws of the Sheri and the
sultan. That the Young Turks have
been very friendly with the Christians
is matter of record; and the fact
that the fanatical Moslems have been
reused to attack Christians is regarded
as an indirect way of bringing pressure
upon the Young Turks by many in
well-informed political circles. Horri-
BILE as this idea is, it is fast gaining
ground, and the behavior of the Ar
menians themselves in abandoning
their appeals to the Young Turks and
placing reliance on the sultan is fur
ther proof of it.

Wednesday, April ~.

Washington, April 81. Substantial
progress was made by the senate today
in considering the tariff bill. No SEN
ator being prepared to speak on the
bill as whole, the reading of the meas
ure by paragraphs began. The various
items in the chemical schedules were
passed over for future consideration.
The reading was frequently interrupt
ed by the discussion of amendments
and only Is pages of the bill were dis
posed of. Cummins presented his in
come tax provision and discussed it at
length.
Aldrich stated he would ask to have
passed over for future consideration
any provision that might be objected
to. 1t was agreed that any amend
ment to which there should be ohjec-
tion should be passed over with the un-
derstanding that any senator might
move at any time to take up any para
graph after it had been read.
Dolliver suggested that the recipro-
city and retaliatory clauses and the
drawback and thea administrative feat
ures of the bill should be reported by
the finance committee before the bill
was considered.

Butchery in Syria Reaches Appalling
Degree and Craze Spreads.

Butchery in Syria Reaches Appalling
Degree and Craze Spreads.
Constantinopple, April 22.-Massa-
cres that started last week in Adana
have spread along the Syrian coast and
toward the interior as far as the villa
yet of Aleppo, and fanaticism has led
to wholesale butchery throughout this
entire district. 1t is conservatively
estimated that over 10000 have been
slain, the majority of this number be-
ing women and children, who have been
slaughtered in droves.
Religious uprisings have broken out
in Antioch and Birejik, and foreigners
have taken refuge in the British con-
sulates. Fifty men from the British
warship Diana have been landed at AL
exandretta, but their distance from the
scene of the latest outbreaks seems to
have no effect in stopping the ravages
of the religion-crazed slayers.
The situation at Alexandretta is crit
ical. Panic everywhere prevails.
Thousands of refugees are crowding
the city, which is patrolled by marines
from the British cruiser Diana.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC LARGE.
Thousands Will Seek Homes on Pa
cific Coast.

Chicago, April 21.-Oficials of the
North Pacific coast roads expect an un-
usually large passenger traffic to that
country during the coming summer.
1t will not be created wholly by the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific fair, though that
will be great drawing card. There
will also be a vast volume of travel
brought about by the large number of
persons going to the coast with the
intention of becoming permanent
settlers in the Northwestern country.
The business depression which has
been keenly felt in all the industrial
and commercial centers of the East
has caused great many people to seek
out pastures new as the fields for their
future exertions, and large numbers of
these have come to look upon the Pa
cific Northwest coast country as offer
ing them the greatest inducement of
making their future homes there.
Already inquiries are being made of
the railroads in great numbers as to
facilities for transportation and reser-
vations are being made for sleeping car
and other accommodations away in ad-
vance of anything believed to be posi-

LOEB AFTER SMUGGLERS.
Declines Offer of $3.50, 900 to Drop
Government Inquiry,

New York, April 2O.-The smuggling
syndicate that first offered Collector Of
the Port Loeb 100000 to drop the
governments investigation of the
smuggling of "sleeper" trunks con-
tanning s55, 900 worth of Paris gowns
increased its offer today to $3.50, 900,
according to Mr.. Loeb.
"The amount now offered the gov
ernment to drop the investigation and
probable prosecution is $3.50, 00O," "said
Mr.. Loeb. 'The amount represents
what would be the penalties of fully
5000, 900 above the appraised value of
the goods. All offers have been re-
fused. We want the smugglers.''
1t is believed that worry over this
case so affected the mind of William
G. Bainbridge, confidential agent of
the United States Treasury department
in Paris, that he committed suicide.
The Treasury department had fully ap-
proved Mr.. Bainbridge's course in the
case, but he left note declaring he
was the victim of plot.
Mr.. Loeb's investigation shows that
the smuggled gowns had been made in
Paris by famous designers for many
of social prominence and wealth
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington and that the reason for
offering such large sum to suppress
the investigation was to shield the
from unpleasant publicity.

JURY PROBES SMUGGLING.
Federal Body Takes Action in New

Federal Body Takes Action in New
York Gown Importations.
New York, April 21.-Further inves-
tigation of the systematic smuggling
of Paris gowns into this port led the
customs officials to declare that the
syndicate probably had smuggled in
81, 900, 900 worth of goods each year
for the last 10 years, thus defrauding
the government out of $500, 900 an
nually in customs duties.
Efforts to avoid criminal prosecution
and to shield from publicity the prom
inent women for whom the $55, 900
worth of gowns recently seized were
intended resulted in the offer by repu-
table attorneys representing anonymous
clients of $4,000 to the government
to drop the investigation.
The Federal grand jury is investi-
eating the case, and it is intimated the
identity of the smugglers will be re-
vealed.

nounced tonight that in a few days the
road would begin constructing branch
lines north and south from Melville,
Sask. The company will lose no time
in building through line from the

Europe. He also announced the con-
struction of several other branches
from the main line to the north.

ABDUL REPORTED
TO HAVE GIVEN UP
Said to Have AbdiCated Throne In
Face of Advancing Enemy.
Sultan Believed to Have Fled or Hid
den-Successor May Be Prince
Yussef Izzedin-Army of Constr
tutionaIists EnveIoping City-Cap-
ital Full of Rumors.

Constantinople, April 2O.-With the
constitutional army steadily enveloping
his capital and demanding his head,
with garrison unwilling to defend him,
and with cabinet ready to surrender
to the demands of the patriot army,
Sultan Abdul Hamid is reported to
have abdicated and fled on a warship or
sought refuge in foreign embassy.
The report that the sultan had abdi-
Gated caused the greatest excitement
in the lobbies of parliament. A rumor
of the flight of the sultan on a warship
followed closely on that of his abdica-
tion, but neither could be confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the British
embassy, where other reports had it
that the sultan had taken refuge, and
there were scores of inquiries at the
Russian embassy concerning the truth
of the rumor that the sultan was under
the protection of Russia on one of its
guardships. At both of these embas-
sizes all knowledge of the sultan's move
ments was denied and the Turkish For
eign office gave a strong denial of the
rumors.
The abdication of Abdul Hamid, how
ever, appears to be not improbable,
and it appears that within day or two
the Constiuttionalists may accept as
his successor Prince Yusseff Izzedin,
the eldest son of the late sultan, who
is second in line, as they are strongly
displeased with Abdul Hamid's atti-
tude.
The Constitutional forces sent out
small parties to reconnoiter this after
noon, and at o'clock in the evening
they were within sight of the gates of
Constantinople. They encountered no
nor does resistance seem
likely, unless it is at the palace. The
headquarters of the Constitutionalist
army is at Dedegatich, and General
dusni Pasha's forces, which now num-
,er between 20, 900 and 80, 200, occupy
! range of hills about 20 miles from
he capital.

GALE KILLS AND MAINS.
Ohio Lakefront Swept by Sudden
Five-Minute Blow.

Cleveland, April 2.-Three persons
were killed, six perhaps fatally hurt,
at least so less seriously injured and
1000, 600 worth of property destroyed
in tornado that swept through Cleve-
land and Northern Ohio yesterday.
The storm arose suddenly and lasted
just five minutes. At IL 80 the sun
was shining brightly. At IL :93 the
city was dark. From the northeast of
the lake came 66-mile gale and heavy
rain. People were blown off their feet
and hurled against buildings in many
places, to be struck down by bricks
and timbers that filled the air.
Roofs were lifted off houses, walls
hurled down, strongly-braced smoke
stacks picked up and chimneys demol-
ished. Twelve school buildings were
damaged. Many pupils had remark
able escapes, but none were seriously
hurt. Firemen and policemen turned
out to assist the people whose homes
had been wrecked. So seriouly was
the telephone service crippled that it
was impossible to get connection with
either the police or fire headquarters.

Tuesday, April 20.

Washington, April 20.--The census
bill was sent back to conference by
the senate today in order that. its
amendments relating to the civil SER
vice law and requiring the construc-
tion of building for the census work
in this city might be considered fur
ther.
By an aye and nay vote, the senate
rejected the conference report because
of its failure to include the McCumber
amendment, requiring applicants for
civil service employment to reside in
the states claimed by them as their
homes.
That the census office has in it en-
ploy in one bureau the wife of secre-
tary of member of congress, the
wives of two officials of the War de-
partment, and the wife of prominent
official in the Treasury department was
the charge made by McCumber in criti-
cizing the conference report.
Promotion" he said, "seems to be
almost wholly for women who have
husbands in the department. This is
getting to be city of official families
holding positions under the govern
ment."
Whole families, he said, are en-
ployed in government departments
credited to states which the younger
members of the families have never
seen. McCumber urged the necessity
of his amendment requiring actual res
idence by the applicant from a state,
which was stricken out by the con-
ferees.

mayor will not only receive, but actu-
ally invites complaints, criticisms, new
ideas and suggestions of all kinds
which may result in the betterment of
conditions in any direction.

SULTAN AWAITS TROOPS.
Turkish Capital Ready to Fall Feet at
of Army.

| oi NTIUys
Constantinople, April 21.-Sultar
Abdul Hamid is awaiting in his palace
for whatever may befall. His grand
vizier, Tewik Pasha, has announced
that, without fear, the sultan will re-
main with his family and accept re-
signedly the fate prepared for him and
his country.
Tewfk Pasha and the minister of
war, Edhem Pasha, who sent their res
ignations last night, decided to with
draw them today, and the grand vizier
is passing most of the time with the
sultan.
Nazim Pasha is still in command of
the garrison, but no preparations have
been made to resist the advance of the
Salonica troops. The Constitutionalist
lines now envelop the city, but the
commander in chief, General Husni
Pasha, is still at Hademoki and it is
not likely that the invaders will enter
the city before tomorrow night or the
following day.
1t is understood that the Salonicans
have submitted to the government a
list of persons whose punishment is de-
manded for completely in the recent
mutiny. This list includes deputies
and journalists. But apparently there
is the utmost good feeling between the
invaders and the residents of the city,
many of whom visited the camps of the
oalonica troops today and were receiv-
ed Hospitality.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS

publican leader presented the esti
mates of revenue and expenditures,
showing that under the bill, which
omits any new forms of taxation, and
with a reduction in expenses to be
effected by economy, the government
will have a surplus of $50, 600, 900 in
the fiscal year 1911. He declared that
appropriations in the last few years
had been extravagant, and that no new
taxes were necessary. Daniel criti-
cised the majority of the committee
for not admitting the Democrats to the
sessions at which the bill was drafted.
He practically conceded the soundness
OF the protection theory, by admitting
that the tariff should equal the differ
ence in the cost of production at home
and abroad, but said the bill did not
equally safeguard all interests.
At the conclusion of Aldrich's state
ment, Daniel, the ranking minority
leader of the finance committee, ar
raigned the Republican members of
the committee for their exclusion of
the Democratic members during the
consideration of the bill.
At the conclusion of Daniels re-
marks, Aldrich sent to the clerks desk
q copy of newspaper dated April 21,
1894, in which Senator Vorhees and
Senator Vest had defended the Demo-
'ratic procedure in framing the Wilson
dill to be reported to the senate without

CoIima Pours Out Lava,

Mexico City, April 21.-A severe
eruption of the Colima volcano, follow
ed by an earthquake shock, has spread
terror and confusion among the inhabi-
tants of nearby towns, number of
whom deserted their homes, and fled to
points outside the affected zone. The
eruption began at 6:10 o'clock yester-
day morning. 1t covered wide area
with ashes and lava, and subsided at
nightfall. Just as confidence was be-
ing restored, the region was shaken by
a violent explosion, and the populace
once more was thrown into a panic.

SULTAN GIVES IN.
Surrenders All Power to Parliament
and Awaits Decision.

SuTrenOerS All ROVER 10 FdrIiamen1
and Awaits Decision.
Constantinople, April 20. - The
Young Turks have won another vic
tory over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but
whether the sultan will remain as sov-
ereign is yet to be decided, although
he has offered to place the affairs of
government entirely in the hands of
ministers responsible to parliament.
The sultan also agrees to replace the
Constantinople GARRISON with troops
that have been investing the city for
four days.
The chamber of deputies and some of
the senators met today at San Stefano
and are now discussing the question of
deposing the sultan.
The concentration of the investing
army is complete and doubtless the
next "a hours will decide the fate of
the sultan, who remains passively at
his palace, awaiting the issue.
For the present there need be little
fear of bloodshed within the city, but
there is much to be feared from the
riots and massacres that now are
sweeping over the districts under Turk
ish domination.
