 hdul Hamid is waiting in his palace for swhatever may befaii. He has not taken night and his Grand vizier. Tewak Pa sha. has announced that without fear the Sultan will remain with his fam fly and accept resisnedIy the fate which has been prepared for him and his country.
 Tewhk Pasha and the Minister of War;, Edem Pasha.f who sent in. their $ resignations to the Sultan .iats last night. decided to withdraw them today, and the Grand vizisr Is spending. most of the time with His Majesty. Maxim Pasiia still is in command of tho gar- fison. but no preparations have been made to offer any rssistance to the ads. vance of the saIoniki troops. The Con stitutionalist lines now envelop the city. but the -chief. osn- eral Husni Paeha. is stiIl at Hadein- fois and there Is little Likelihood that the invading army wiQ enter the city before tomorrow night or the foIlow- ing day.
 It is understood that the ssionikins have submitted to the government list of persons whose punishment isl demanded for compiicity fn the recent inutiay. This list includes deputies. Journalists ana theologians. But ap- parently there ts tho utmost good feel ing between the invaders and the res- adents of the city. many of whom to- day visited the camps of the saIoniki froops and were received hospitabIy by she soldiers.
 Two prociamationst signed by the commandins general of the army of investmeRt and addressed respectively fo the cittzene Of constantinople and She garrison, wsrS Issued today. nhsy Nave had a reassursng sffect. That sent to the War once for distmbutiop fo the garrison denounce8 as scrtminai and nnonstrous tho acts committed un- der the cover of demanding that the sheribu sheri law slperseds the con- stitution by bands of executions, vile. conseiousless agitators and partisans of sbsolutism who defuged the soldiers and popuiAce 80 that the Parliament was stained with blood. the nation plugged in mourning and blot made on the ottoman army, where honor had renained intact for the last 600 years.
 Ewo Demands Made.
 After explaining that the army of saionikf has come to remove the stain, the proclamation formuiates i've ds- mands:
 "First--Full reinstatement of the cf- Scers of the army and navy and that the soldiers take an oathsin the pres- ence of the Shelk Ulietam to obey their superiors and not mix in politics; Hec~a ond. that the garrison undertake not to interfere with the measures of the punishment of the guilty persons aud that the spies and others wno provok- ed the disorders be denounced.
 Finally. if both demandb are accept. ca, by the land and sea forces and they show real obedience. nothing will befaN the garrIson.
 The proclamation to the popuiace ex- plains that the object of the investing army is the rs-estahlishmenty of the constitution, which Is in accordance with yhe Sheriat and the punishment of the traitors to the country. Isassures complete safety to the innocent and oppressed poulation and to foreigners, and adds that those who, disguised as Ulemas to serve their personal ends committed reprehensible acts, will be

 The Constantinopie garrison is de- serting to the side of the constitu- tfonalists. The capital troops have been leaving the city In small patches since early on Sunday but the out ward flow set in heavily today. It is estimated that about 4.o00 men have gone over to the invading army with out opposition from their officers or comrades. One party took along battery of machine guns with horses and full ammunition wagons None of these attempting to join the con etitutionaiists without arms were ac- cepted.
 Go To Meet Invaders.
 Strangely enough, large part of the garrison was given leave of absence today. only about 5000 troops being kept In barracks. The principal sub urban railway service. that to San Stefano. ran special trains throughout the day to accommodate. thousands more than regular trains could carry, who were anxious to see the advanc- ing troops
 Just as the train on which the cor respondent of The Associated Press was passenger was ready to leave Ehe station. dozen or more SalonilSa chasseurs who had deserted from the palace guard, came at double quick down the platform with Mausers In their hands and bandoliers full of cartridges, They climbed Into the third class carriage.
 "They are going to join th0 others" ,vemarked the station masters ''that must be tsAree hundred that have aeen todaj taking the train to San Eeefano."
 Outside tiae Byzantine wallis, the ex- cursionists saw the first squad of com 1 sfituttonalist soldiers. There was great olapping of hands and cries of saluta- tfon from tke Turkish party and the Armenian isaies on the train waved | their scarfH and handkerchiefs.
