RESUM|NC ITS
NORMAL ASPECT
Constantinople in Control
Of ConstitutionaliSts.
TURKISH CABINET RESIGNS

eehefket Pasha, Commander of the
Victorious Army, Is the Man of the
Hour and Is Being Urged to Be.
come Grand Vizier in Succession to
Tewfik Pasha - Strong Feeling
Against Sultan.
Constantinople, April 27.-The city
IS quiet and is gradually resuming its
normal aspect The declaration OF
martial law and the fact that the con.
stitutionalists are in full control
promise for the maintenance of or
der.
The question of what is to be done
to the sultan in all probability will be
determined by parliament. Schefket
Pasha, commander of the constitu
tional army, is the man of the hour.
The leading civilian members of the
committee of union and progress de
sire him to be grand vizier in sue
cession to Tewfik Pasha and he has
been assured that a majority Of par.
Lament would gladly support minis
try under his leadership in succession
to the Tewfilk ministry, which has re-
signed.
On the reply to these proposals
Schefket Pasha said that the premier
ship afforded such a splendid oppor-
tunity to assist in the political de-
velopment of the country that he
would have rejoiced to accept the
honor had it come to him under any
other circumstances, but that he could
not accept it while still leader of the
army. To do so would not accord
with his ideas of civil and political
liberty of action.
Schefket Pasha is an Arab and
comes from Bagdad. He has lived
for eleven years in Europe and re-
ceived his military training in Ger
many.
The feeling among the members Of
parliament against the sultan remain
ing on the throne is strong. Mo-
manned Reschad Effendi, the sultan's
brother, is the favorite candidate for
the succession.
The parliamentary leaders have de-
cided to act as though there had been
no interruption to the parliamentary
system. They will support the cab
met precisely as before the morning
of April IL, the day of the mutinous
outbreak on the part of the local gar
rison.

The building committee was in

The building committee was in.
structed to have the ceiling Of the
city hall plastered where needed and
the roof repaired so that it would
not leak; also to find out the cost of
fife escapes to be placed on the city
hall.
A resolution was passed to adj
vertise for bids for the painting
OF the north side of the city hall
with two coats of paint. A resolu-
ton was also passed to complete
the purchase of lot, 9Ox14O feet,
from Warfeld Brothers for $500,
on which to erect the new steel
tower and tank, this proposition
having been voted upon last August.
The city attorney was instructed
to settle with Mr.. Stechman of Ten
strike for ,one-half of the amount of
the old water bill of $3.50, over
which there has been so much con-
troversy.
It was suggested that the merry
go-round be required to close down
at II o'clock and stay closed on
Sundays and also that the Bijou be
compelled to provide fire exits but
no action was taken on these ques-
tions.
The report of the municipal
court for the week ending April
"a, showing $3.50 paid into the
city treasury, was read and
accepted.
The usual number of bills were
allowed with the exception of 81
of N. J. Case, city scavanger, for
the killing of two dogs, one
belonging to the Fitger Brewing
company and the othar to Matt
Mayer, after which the council
adjourned.

in order that the usual spring repairs
may be made to the machinery, ETC.,
after which, the mill will again
resume work.

vetoed the tonnage tax bill. You
see, our county will develop into
an lron-producing county.if present
indications come anywhere near
up to the standard of what is
expected, and we do not care to
pay toll to southern Minnesota.
The veto was splendid piece of
work."
Mr.. Dampier refused, absolutely,
to talk politics, further than to
say that politics were always s'in
season at all times of the year in
his county, but he would not say
just what fences were being
repaired at the present. time. ~

OVERMAN PROPOSES
TO TAX IMMIGRANTS
North Carolina Senator's Amend.
nnent to Tariff Bill.

Washington, April 27.-Mr. Over.
man of North Carolina offered an
amendment to the tariff bill in the
senate by which he proposes to place
head tax of $12 on each immigrant
coming into the United States. That
the tax he desired to have provided
for aliens has been held constitutional
by the United States supreme court
was one of the arguments Mr.. Over
man offered in support of his amend
ment.
1T means not only revenue for the
treasury he said, tbut also a select
class of immigrants and therefore it
protects labor"
Mr.. Overman estimated that the
head tax on aliens which he proposed
would bring to the government &c.
100000 to $10,O0O,OO0 revenue.

Students Continues.


Constantinople, April 27-The COM

sued a statement denying the allega-
lions attributing the recent occur
rences to controversies between the
political parties and saying that the
march of the constitutionalists on the
capital was undertaken under the in
fuence of the committee. The state
ment set forth that the tragic events
of the past fortnight we're provoked
by "wretches and vile personages who
were injured by the proclamation Of
the constitution. Soldiers we're cor
rupted with money and melted to
commit acts of savagery. The holy
mission of the army is above person
alities. The committee wishes to
work for the general interest and
serve the fatherland"

ligious students continues and it is
estimated that 1000 such persons
have been apprehended.

WEDS CONVICT IN
HIS PRISON CELL

Philadelphia.-Be the wall Of
the eastern penitentiary yesterday
there was shown an unusual evidence
of young womans devotion to the
man she loved. With the prison con-
vlcts behind tightly locked doors as
guests and several of the prison in
spectors as witnesses, a pretty dark
eyed girl not more than % years old,
stood before the Rev. David H. Buel,
S. j., of the Church of the Gesu, and
promised to take ''for better or for
worse" man who is serving a six
year term for burglary.
The fact that the convict-bride-
groom, who is 25 years old, has serv-
ed only two years and that it will be
at least three years before his bride
will be able to take him to her arms
free man, did not deter her. AS
she stood by his side and answered
the questions propounded by the
priest. there was amazement even in
the eyes of the hardened inspectors
who are accustomed to all sorts of
life happenings.

TRAFFIC MEN PLAN
SOME RADICAL CHANGES

Chicago.-The most radical change
in the history of Western railroads in
the method of ratemaking will soon
be made, If the plan prepared by
transcontinental railroads should be
approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. committee of traffic
executive officials of Western roads is
in Washington and will appear before
the commission today and present to
that body a comprehensive plan for a
reduction in rates from the Middle
West to interior Pacific Coast points
in line with the decision of the COM
mission in the Spokane rate case. The
cmmittee is headed by j. c. Stubbs,
traffic director for the Hartman lines
and the proposed reductions in many
of the commondity rates vary from %
to so percent.
If the plan goes though it will be a
severe blow to Pacific Coast cities, will
increase the business of the Middle
West and intermediate points and will
result in the building up of jobbing
centers at Salt Lake Denver, Reno
and other inland points.
