Constantinople, April 2O.-Sultan
Abdul Hamid is waiting in his palace
for whatever may befall. He has not
taken flight. and his grand vizier,
Tewf1k Pasha. has announced that the
Sultan will remain with his family
and accept resignedly the fate that
has been prepared for him and his
country.
Tewfk Pasha and his minister of
war, Edhim Pasha, who sent In their
designations to the Sultan late last
night. decided to withdraw them to-
day. and the grand vizier is spending
most of the time with his majesty.
Nazim Pasha still is in command of
the garrison, but no preparations
have been made to offer any resis-
tance to the advance OF the SaIoniki
troops.
The constitutionists' lines now en-
ve'ope the city. but the commander
in-chief, Gen. Husni Pasha, is still ct
Hademkoi, and there is little rkeli-
hood that the invading army will en-
ter the city before tomorrow night or
the following day.
1t is understood that the Saloni-
kians have submitted to the govern
ment list Of persons whose punish
ment is demanded for completely in
the recent mutiny. This list includes
Deputies. journalists and theologians
But apparently there is the utmost
good feeling between the invaders
and the residents Of the city, many
OF whom today visited the camps Of
the Saloniki troops and were received
Hospitality by the soldiers.
Two proclamatfons. sign 4 by the
commanding general Of the army Of
investment. and addressed respective
ly to the citizens Of Constantfnople
and the garrison. were issued today.
They have had reassuring effect.
That sent to the war office for dis
tribution to the garrison denounced
as criminal and monstrous the acts
committed under the cover of de-
manding that the Sheri law super
sede the constitution by bands Of exc
cutioners. vile conscienceless agitators
and partfsans Of absolutism, who de-
icded the soldiers and populace so
that the Parliament was stained with
blood. the nation plunged in mourn
Ing and a blot made on the Ottoman
army, whose honor had remained in
tact for the last six hundred years."

Price Never Chsnoed.

The Rev. Simon Turpie was an elo.
quent speaker. but he seemed to have
list OF sermons which. when he once
began he went right through to the
end and then started at the first SER
mon again, and 80 on.
A young man In the. congregation
was about to leave for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed he
attended the church service.
In the course Of his lecture the min
lister used an illustration In which were
the words, "A man can easily purchase
two sparrOws for threepence."
The young man. after being absent
for about three years. returned and
again on the first opportunity attended
divine service. Strange to say, he
heard the same narrative by the same
minister. the phrase striking him most
being about the two sparrows for
threepence."
At the close Of the service the min
lister, In his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth and. welcoming
him back to his home. asked him IL
he noticed any changes about the
place.
The young man. evidently quite un.
concerned. replied, AYE, man. there's
two or three changes. but there's yin
thing can see--the price O. sparrows
is aye at the same auld fgger."

Visit Executive Mansion "Until a
Gentleman Got There"

Washington. April. 20.-A visit to
the White House after seven years
absence was paid today by Senator
Tillinan of South Carolina and he re-
ceived cordial greeting from Presi-
dent Taft. His appearance in the
executive offices created a sensation
The senator walked to the White
House unaccompanied, but left with
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, riding
to the capitol with the latter in his
automobile.

Asked why he had never visited

Tillman replied, II waited until a

OF war. Whether he has inherited
his office from Roosevelt or been
elected by the people there Is no rea-
son for any one to suppose that he
has inherited Roosevelt's meanness. p
Mr.. TiNman said that he merely
went to the White House to say good
morning to the president and to ex-
press his qualification upon having
a gentleman there"
II have no favors to ask of the
president and no advice to offer" said
Mr.. Tillman. IT would have gone to
see him sooner had 1t not been for
the fact that have been out Of the
city. I have taken the first covenient
opportunity to call upon him.
While at the White House Senator
Tlilman saw Booker Washington for
the first time.

me to draw my own conclusion as to
the percentage Of white blood there
is In him. 1t is over half"
Asked what impression he formed

Booker Washington is considered a
great negro. and he has great INTEL
lectual powers. He has a Jesuitical
face. If he had not been engaged

DRINKS cAReoLIc ACID USED IN
BATHING.
Mother, Hearing His Means, Rushes to
His Rooms and Is Startled to
Find Him in Death Throes.

Joseph Heath, living with his
parents at 2150 Madison avenue. drank
carbolic acid at about 10 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon and when he was discov-
cred by his mother, who entered his
room about half an hour later. the
young man was beyond medical aid.
He had been q sufferer of an in
curable disease, prior to which affllc-
tion he was a. bright and ambitious
young man, but when he realized that
his case was hopeless he became des-
pondent and no doubt had planned to
end II all.
He had been in the habit OF bathing
in water with carbolic acid as an anti
septic. He called for the acid little
before l O'Clock, presumably for his
daily treatment. and there was no
thought In the minds OF. his folks who
waited on him that he contemplated
seli-Gestruction. Later his moaning
startled his mother. and she In re-
sponse made the terrible discovery.
DR.. Condor was called. but on ar
riving he announced that 1t was too
late as the deadly carbolic had accom-
plished It's destructive work. and soon
after death ensued.
Joseph Heath was % years old and
apparently up to a few months ago.

Washington, April 23.-The Joplin
(Mo) zinc producers and representa-
tives of American smelters were ar
rayed against each other at hear
ing today by Senator Smoot. to whom
the zinc schedules were referred by
the senate finance committee. The
smelters contended that the PROPOSE
ton TO transfer zinc ore from the free
list, and make 1t dutiable at one cent
a pound would result In Mexican ore
being shipped to Belgium for smelt-
ing, and that the American mills
would be driven out of business so
Tar as zinc smelling was concerned
Senator Smoot told the defendant IN
tereSts that they would have to get
together on some mutual agreement,
or the committee would exercise its
judgment without regard TO the claim
OF either side. Indications are that
an agreement may be reached where
by the ore Will be made dutiable at
one-half cent pound. and that ore
containing % per cent or less of zinc
shall be admitted free. and that some
agreement be reached concerning
spelter, AS a compromise. one-third
