MURDER AT BOTTOM
OF THE REVOLUTION.
Assassination of Editor Who Assailed
Young Turks the Climax of
Political Feud

LONDON, April 13.-The news which
reached London of the situation at Con-
stantinople was contained in a code mes
sage which set forth that serious disturb
ances of a revolutionary character had
broken out and that the situation was
grave. This message was accepted here
as foreshadowing a dangerous upbeaval.
1t is known that the situation has been
extremely strained for several weeks ow-
ing to the great bitterness between the
committee of union and progress and the
liberals. The liberals resent the attempts
of the committee to control public af-
fairs.
The murder of Hassan Fehmi Effendi,
editor Of the liberal newspaper Serbesti,
on April is thought here to have been
the climax of this political feud The
editor was shot and killed by an I'M
known man as he was entering his Office,
and a government official accompanying
him was wounded. The Serbesti had
been carrying on a campaign against the
committee Of union and progress, in 9th
er words, the young Turks.
Violent demonstrations both inside
Parliament and in the streets adjacent
followed the killing of the editor. The
grand vizier and the president of the
chamber were obliged to harrangue the
crowds outside and assure them that
justice would be done. The chamber ac-
cepted an Interpolation denouncing the
crime as q political murder and calling
upon the government to take the neces-
sary steps to apprehend the assassin.

Another advantage of this capture of
more daylight would be that men and

STOP WASTE OF DAYLIGHT.
What the Proposition Made to the
British Commons Means.

Few movements have spread so rad
idly in a short time as the agitation
In favor of the daylight bill. A select
committee of the House of Commons
reported in favor Of the measure last
year, and its supporters will make a
supreme effort this session to pass it
into law. The bill aims at preventing
the terrible waste of daylight which
goes on at the present time, says Lon
don correspondent of the st. Louis
GlObe-Democrat.
According to Mr.. Willett, T. r. A. S.,
the scheme consists Of putting forward
the fingers of clocks twenty minutes on
each Of four Sundays in April and of
putting them back twenty minutes on
each Of four Sundays in September.
That is TO say, it proposes to substitute
for eight sundays of twenty-four hours
each four Sundays in April which shall
be less than twenty-four hours and
four Sundays in September which shall
be more than twenty-four hours. Moth
ing is lost, but the gain is substantial.
1t means that the man who now leaves
of work at p. m. will take with him
home the light we now have at 40 ;
he who leaves off at o'clock will take
with him the light we now have al
+ 40, and so on. To workingmen who
leave off work on Saturdays the adyan-
tage TO be gained is most striking.
Those whose half-holiday commences at
il or or , o'clock will have at their
disposal as much daylight as if it COM
menced at 10 40, II 40 or u 80 re
spectively.
What this means at the end of the
year is somewhat impressive. 1t means
an annual gain of 30 hours of useful
daylight equivalent to twenty-one
days of ten hours each) every year. To
succeeding generations the change is no
less important. On reaching the age
of IS (without counting anything of
six years of childhood) a man will
have gained a whole year of daylight.
At 80 he will have gained two years.
at 70 three years. The cumulative eff
feet Of these additional years of day
light in the life Of a man cannot fail
