NIAGARA's ICE PACK BROKEN
All Danger From Flood is Past Now,
Saws Engineer Kunze.

All Danger From Flood is Past Now,
Says Engineer Kunze.
Youngstown, N. Y.-The giant ice
jam, broken by dynamite, was carried
away by the strong current of Niagara
River. The dynamiting was per-
sistent, and it opened a breach
through which the mammoth masses
in the upper river can sail without a
scratch. Faults and assures criss-
cross the lower end Of the stream,
water is fighting ice for surface space
opposite Lewiston and the upper river
has ousted the greater portion of the
encroaching flee.
The relief work thus far has cost
about $4,000. The six tons of dyna-
mite alone, five exploded and one in
! store in the magazine of the fort, cost
$216O.
More dynamite was exploded in the
heart of the remaining ice pack, but
Engineer Kunze say - that all danger
is past.

Martial Law Proclaimed by the Com

Advisers Of the Sultan Will Have

Constantinople, Turkey.-The END
of Sultan Abdul Hands power came,
when at dawn the remnant or the
Yildiz palace garrison surrendered
Internationally. During the nlgnG
hundreds had been killed in hand-to-
hand fighting. Heavy guns had been
moved up to destroy the palace at
sunrise. Seeing that further resist
ance was hopeless the Sultan gave the
command to surrender.
Niazi Bey, the ablest and most fear
less of the Turkish commanders, and
known as ".the Hero of the July revo-
luton" took his own command into
the palace, declared hat strife was
at an end and that the fate OF the
Sultan would be determined by g.
council of the Constitutional party.
"The life of Abdul Hamid will be
protected" he announced. "His
future will be settled either by Par
lament or by the leaders of our ma
tional movement"
The Sultan is said to be within the
walls of the Yildiz Kiosk, where, in
company with his ministers, he had

ter. His authority is gone forever.
Whether his fate shall be death, exile
or Imprisonment, no n now can
f~oretell. The chief plotters in his pal
ace are all under arrest and will prob
ably receive capital punishment.
The last garrison to surrender was
the Selimieh artillery barracks, in
Scutari, opposite STEAMBOAT. -Four
thousand men stationed there with
100 guns threatened to blow the city
irto ruins, but General Schefket or
dered up sixty big guns and several
batteries of machine rifles to positions
which commanded the barracks, and
the cruiser Mejidieh steamed out of
range of the field pieces and prepared
for action. The commander of the
barracks thereupon submitted, and
troops of the other garrisons already
have been, without arms, to await
transfer to outlying districts.
The proclaiming of martial law in
Constantinople and environs was fol-
lowed by a circular note, which was
sent to each of the foreign Ambassa-
doris. 1t read:
Il have the honor to inform Your
Excellency that, in view of the cir
cumstances, a state of siege begins to-
day in the capital, Ismid, Tchekmedje,

London, England.-The Standards
AOnstantinople correspondent esti-
mates that 1000 men were killed in
the fighting in the capital, and that
sthe losses were heaviest on the side
eof the Constitutionalists, who did all
sof the attacking and who offered good
targets in the Open. During the con-
f1icts, the mollahs and softas, fearing
the vengeance of the people every
where, sought refuge in the mosques,
where they were caught and many of
them were killed.
At the time of the surrender, the
correspondent adds, the Sultan had
with him besides the Grand Vizier
and the War Minister, two of the
nearest heirs to the throne, Mehem-
med Reschad Efendi and Yussof L.
Zedine, whom he had detained as hos
tages. It is reported hat about
eighty of the softas and mollahs who
took refuge in the mosques were
found to be armed when they were
captured, and were placed against
the nearest wall and shot.

here, was killed outside of Tabriz
while leading a sortie Of Nationalist
from the city. The object of the ex-
petition was to open a way for the
bringing in of provisions, of which
the city stands greatly in need. It
was not successful.
The situation here was desperate.
The Christians of Tabriz armed them
selves to put up a strong defense dur
ing the bloody disorders. The Eng
lish residents sent a telegram to For
eign Secretary Grey in London, ap-
pealing for immediate help. The
Russians took refuge In their consul

consulates were threatened by a

them an object OF jealousy.

who had been accused of completely
in revolutionary movements, was
killed in battle according to a dis
patch from Consul Doty at Tabriz.
Baskerville was active in assisting
the Persian revolutionists against
the Government. Possible complica-
tons were avoided by the prompt dis
avowal by the Presbyterian mission
J at Tabriz of all Of Baskerville's acts.
The mission gave orders also that he
either refrain from interfering in
Persian politics or resign his position
which he did.
