Constantinople, April 20:-Grand
Vizer Tewfik Pasha is reported as
having resigned. He is now con-
ferring with the Sultan at Yildiz
Kiosk regarding the city's surrender.
The abdication of the Sultan is
momentarily expected Representa-
tives of the Young Turks are at the
palace awaiting the decision. =
The Young Turks have 10000 sol
diers camped outside the city en-
trance to which is delayed to avoid
bloodshed in the streets. 1t is ex-
pected the Sultan will realize the
folly of opposition.
The escape of the Sultan Is con-
Bidered impossible. The Young Turks
have war vessels at both ends of the
Bosphorus to watch for the Imperial
yacht.
Dispatches from Beirut confirm a
massacre there. They say 1900
people were slain.

The committee of union and prog
ress will order out the army reserves
to protect the people against possible
massacre or revolt
Niazi Bey, one of the leaders of the
Young Turks, has written to Moham-
med Rechad Enendi, telling him to as
cend the throne. The chief officials
connected with the Yildiz kiosk have
fed, and the sultan's yacht is now un-
der steam.
The grand vizler and several of the
ministers are discussing the form of
the abdieation.
Sheik ul Islam has been asked by
the troops to issue a holy decree, de-
clarlng the abdication of the ruler,
'who has injured national interests
and brought about most serious trou-
bles."

The plant is not rushed with orders
and may be shut down for a time
It is generally believed that the men
have struck because they have not
had their wages raised like the en-
ployes of most of the other clay
plants in this vicinity. When the
employees of nearly all the clay
plants in this vicinity struck several
months ago the laborers of the Perth
Amboy Fire Brick Works were
among the number, but they return
ed to work after being out about
two weeks, without exacting a prom
ise of an increase from the officials.
The Ostrander Fire Brick plant,
where the laborers struck last week,
is still closed and is likely to remain
so for at least month. Some Of
the men, 1t is understood. received

an hour for nine hours work, and
will not return unless given fifteen
cents, with ten hours work a day.
