Rumors That He VII Keep Throne

London April 22-One of the ConstantinopIe cor
respondents describes the city as becoming de-
cidedly bored" at the slow movements OF the in
vesting army
With another of the sudden changes characteris-
tic Of the present Turkish crisis. public opinion
seems to incline 10 the belief that the Sultan WILL
after all. be retained on the throne. with proper
precautions tc safeguard the constitution. and in
many of the special dispatches received here the
delay in the occupation OF the capital is attributed
TO the negotiations which are going on to this
end between the government and the leaders OF the
Young Turks.
II a settlement of :hs nature is reached. it viii
10 a large degree be due to the attitude Of the
Second Army Corps which does not desire that the
Sultan shall be depcsed. 1t Is also rumored that
the influence CT the German Emperor will have
had something TO do with it.
One dispatch received from Constantinople yes
terday said that a definite agreement between the
government and the Committee OF Union and Prog
ress had been concluded. Abdul Hamid remaining
as Sultan. but the present Cabinet resigning inn
mediateiy.
The Daily Teegraph's'' Constantinope CORES

the Sultan hopes TO gain time and make terms, but
that he is properly informed as to the serious
Of the situation. lie is appealing for help the
correspondent adds. to a certain European monarch
whom he regards his personal friend.
So many conflicting reports in circulation
however, that it is impossible TO ascertain anything
definite Tho important tonight is that the
feet is be from Constantinople ostensiby for
maneuvres the attitude OF the navy has been
doubtful. This viii a source OF possible
danger and will tend TO insure the peaceful occu-
patton OF the capital
The Central Committee OF Union and Progress has
issued statement denying that recent events are

Liberal Union or that the committee is meditatinc

ENVER BET 4 R4DICIL
Says Sultan Must Be DcPosed-
Crisis May End To-Day.

Paris April 22-In interview with the Mat
ms correspondent at San Stefano. Enver Bey one
Of the leaders Of the investing army made the fol
lowing statement.
The Sultan must reign no longer. Consent to his
retention OF the throne would be consent To the
death Of the country Abdul Hamid can count
upon our good will for life: that is all. If the army
has not marched into the city, il is because we
were not sure Of the feet. We feared il might
lombard the city at the Sultans orders. and this
would cause diplomatic complications.
This difficulty has now been removed We have
succeeded in placing officers on the warships
They have instructions: therefore nothing can
stop our advance. which will begin immeeiately.
Ahmed Ria, the former president Of the Cham
Der Of Deputies who has just arrived at San Ste
fano told the correspondent that he had hidden IN
the heart of Stamboul. In making his escape from
the city he had passed through the quarters where
the reaction had been the most violent, with
handkerchief before bis face, without being recoS
nized He was asked with regard 20 the situation
and replied: We have decided 10 maintain our
liberty and We will punish all the participants in
the reactionary movement. If the Sultan makes
common cause with the reactionaries he Will be
dethroned"
Ahmed Ria expects that the crisis will be ended
tomorrow.

PATTEN DISAPPEARS
MYSTERY.
Nay Be Preparing to Stand from
Under Conflicting Reports.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Chicago April 21-DIsgruntled by the attacks made
upon him In the pulpit and the press, disheartened
by the failure of his market predictions to come
true, and tired of being confronted every turn
by cartoons and ampoons directed against him,
says The Chicago Tribune" James A. Patten has
secluded himself from the public eye. Whether he
is in St Louis Kansas City or at his home, in
Evanston, various rumors declare, says The
Tribune" the fact remains that he is tired Of the
notoriety which he has brought upon himself. and
has away to hide
Another explanation of Mr. Patterns absence is
that he has left the city to inspect crop out
look, particularly II bears the amount OF
wheat which may be delivered TO him on July con-
tracts
Mr. Patterns departure was made quietly. and
was discovered by the majority of his associates
only after It had been accomplished fact. He
is said TO be accompanied BY an expert and it Is
believed viii inspect the winter wheat crop In
Illinois and adjacent states, among them Missouri
where reports conflicting. The most recent
tidings from that commonwealth was bearish, de-
clearing that, despite backward season and plough
ing under, average crop was expected
News OF Mr.. Patterns absence did not reach the
floor Of the Board Trade until toward the latter
part Of to-day's session, ard even when the
confirmed and the announcement
definitely made. shortly after noon, that Mr.. Pat
had been in his office all day, it caused lit
tie excitement. The public has been frightened
out of the market to a large extent by the pub
Iicity given the Patten interests In the last ten
hands Of a few professionals. Armour & Co. did
a big scalping business to-day, buying about
million bushels of July wheat early and selling IL
all again later in the day small profit.
In the time more and more facts are COM
ing light every day to show that Mr.. Patten
is wrong in his predictions about a short crop.
and that there Is wheat left back in the farmers
hands.
Whether he has been deceived but himself
knows but despite his repeated statements that
all the wheat cleaned on the farms, receipts in
Minneapolis and Duluth not nOtceably less than
in other years this time and the visible supply
in the United States and in Canada fails TO de
crease with any marked alacrity.
This afternoon brokers' were asking another
whether Mr.. Patten had not suddenly decided
pull Of wheat just he did q year ago last
February. when. after declaring that he would
not shave until May wheat struck 81 80 he sud-
denly turned around and inside OF a few days
closed out ali of his wheat trades and sailed. for
Europe that time il generally reported
and estimated that his losses in wheat g.
otD0OO although he had made more than that on the
oats and corn deals which he running the
same time.
