WALL STREET BEARS
 DRIVEN TO COVER
The Expected European Reinforce ments Failed Them.

New York, April 19.-The stock market once more proved it's power of resistance to what were considered unfavorable factors in the outlook and developed a considerable degree of positive strength. The bears con- tnued covering operations today when they perceived how little effect was produced on the foreign markets by the admittedly serious situation of affairs in Turkey. The speculative tone abroad was confident. London. instead of aiding in depressing prices, was buyer of stocks on a consid- erable scale. New York cash sup plies continue to be replenished from other sources, but time money rates are appreciably firmer. Bonds were firm. Total sales, $6,196,OOO. United States bonds unchanged

Constantinople. April 19.-The most important feature of the situation in the Turkish capital today was the re port that Sultan Abdul Hamid had abdicated. It caused the greatest eX- citement in the lobbies of parliament. A rumor of the flight of the sultan on a warship followed closely on that of his abdication. but neither could be confirmed. Large crowds gathered at the British embassy, where. other re- ports had it, the sultan had taken ref uge, 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 it's guartlships. At both of these embassies all knowledge of the sul tan's movements vase denied and the Turkish foreign office gave a strong denial of the rumors.
 The abdication of Abdul Hamid. however. appears to be not improbable. and it appears that within day or two the constitutionalists may accept as his successor Prince Yusef Izzedin, the eldest son of the late sultan. who is second in line. as they are strongly displeased with Abdul Hamids atti tude. The palace today was under a strong guard and even high officials were not permitted to enter.
 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 resistance. nor does any resistance seem likely unless it is at the palace. The headquarters of the constitution alist army is at DodeaRatich and Gen. Husui Pashas forces which now num- Der 10000 and S0,O00 occupy a range of hills about twenty miles from the capitol. Every hour endorsements are adding to their numbers.
 At a secret sitting of the chamber today deputies refused to act on a vote of confidence in the cabinet. It was apparent the chamber was hostile toward the cabinet. because many ministers are identified with the old regime. It is not likely that the en- tire army will reach the capitol for some little time as Hushi Pasha and his military associates deem it adyis aDit lt NlAlliblu lllt dIlGt uIlli llitN are strong enought to win success by overwhelming numbers They hope the so-called reactionary opposition will yield without fighting.
