Ccnstantinople, April 27.-AbduI
Hand II, sultan of Turkey, was to-
day deposed from the throne of the
Ottoman empire by his subjects for
his interference with the progress of
popular government under the con-
stitution granted by him last July

effendi. now occupies the throne.
This change was decided upon by
the national assembly without dis

suggestion that he be allowed to
travel abroad was strongly opposed
on the ground that il might cause
complications. Finally it was decided
he must remain in ConstantinOple.
The sultan-elect came by boat
across BosphoTus to StambOul, and
proceeded to Ser Askerat in a closed
carriage. His family followed, and
detachment of cavalry acted as es-
cort. Troops lined the entire route
Enthusiastic crowds watched the pro-
cession and acclaimed the new ruler.
The effendi was received at the war
office, where the oath was admins
tered by General SChefket and hi
officers all kissed the effendi's hand.

He was enthusiastically. cheered by
crowds who lined the way.
Subsequently in receiving a depu-
tation from the national assembly,

best. | also have suffered oppression
and can therefore enter into the feel
ings of fellow sufferers. Let us en-

LOOK FOR GROUND HOG
Today Is the Day That Mr. Ground
Hog Awakes From His Sleep
and Ventures Forth.
Sneeial to the Herald.

y
Washington, D. c., Feb. To-day is
ground hog day, the day on which
many people in all parts of the coun-
try are disposed to place more re-
lance on the weather wisdom of the
little woodchuck than in the scien-
tific predictions of the government
weather bureau. The methods of the
ground hog cannot be termed scien-
tific, but on them large percentage
of the people pin their faith and even
the most skeptical will probably cast
their weather eye skyward at noon to-
day to see if the sun shines or not.
According to the ancient tradition,
which had its origin possibly prior to
the christian era, the ground hog to-
day awakens from his lethargic sleep,
in which he has been enwrapped for
several months, comes forth and rem
ders his decision about the weather
for the next six weeks. If he sees his
shadow. he returns to his old place of
Information and again falls asleep
II. on the other hand, he fails to see
