 WASHINGTON, April 26-Denoune- ing the principle of protective tariff as unfair in that it takes money from one man and gives it to another in or der that it may encourage him in the pursuit of an otherwise unproftabls business, Senator Bailey delivered a set speech for the Democratic side in opposition to the pending tariff bill Senator Bailey discussed the amend. ment providing an income tax, which was eritieied by Senator Aldrieh as tending to reduce the protection of American labor if it should result in . proportionste decrease of customs da- ties He favored the restriction of immigration as a protection to Ameri- can labor.
 Senator Aldrieh retorted that while the speaker (Bailey) was ready to keep the foreign Iaborer from our shores he was not adverse to allowing the product of this cheap labor ts come into competition with the product of the American working men.
 Bailey will resume his speech tomor' TOW, when he will devote his atteA- tion to aspects of the income tax.
 Some administrative features of the tariff bill will be submitted to full membership of the senate F1nanes- Committee tomorrow. They include a substitute for maximum and minimun features of the Payne bill, as worked out by Senator Aldrieh.

By Associated Press
 C0NsTANTINOPLE, April 26-Thi: city is quiet and. is gradually resuming normal conditions The constitution alists are, in full control.
 The question of what Is to be done with the sultan is to be left to psrlla- nent. The leading men desire that Schefket Pasha be made grand visier.
 A court martial has senteneei five loyalists to death, The last burials of those killed on Saturday were made last night.
 A few prisoners have been shot while attempting to escape. The men suspected of having instigated the first mutiny have been separated from the main body of prisoners and will be tried by court martial.
 The sultan's Albanian soldiers who are stationed in the imperial palace stubbornly refused to surrender. Seher- ket Pasha is arranging to attack them and expects a fierce battle before they surrender.
 The deposition of Sultan Abdul Hamid appears now to be certain. A salute of 1O1 guns recognizing Moham- med Reehad Efendi as the new ruler of the empire will probably be heard before the next Selamlik on Friday.
 At caucus of senators and depu- sies today it was determined to make an effort to try to compel the sultan to abdicate under an ecclesiastical law by the terms of which a decree may be issued by his Sheik LII Islam pronouneing the sultan incapable of ruling. A eanonical rescript will be demanded on the ground that the sul- Tnn,s supremacy is harmful to the church, contrary to sacred law, and unjust to the Turkish people.
 The program is that demand is to ie made for the abdication of Abdul Hamid, simultaneously from the high est court of the church, from the ns- tional assembly, and from military chief. The sultan will be offered the palace and a liberal allowance.
 Mohammed Rachad Effendi, heir ap- parent to the throne, has lived prae- tically a prisoner for 9 years in a large palace not far from Yildiz Kiosk. He is 65 years old and well educated, but inexperienced in the affairs of the world.
 This afternoon witnessed the final act in the siege of Yildiz Kiosk. Gen eral Shefket, commander of the con stitutionahsts, overawed the Albanians tion a surrender, and force composed of 200 men has been stationed at the imperial palace. Among the prisoners are included practically the entire male staff of the palace. It is esti- mated that fully ten thousand were taken prisoners.
 The condition of Frederick Moore, the American correspondent shot while watching the fight, causes anxiety. Alexander Garguilee, first dragoman of the American embassy, is improv- ing.
