o'clock in the morning Thousands OF
people stopped to look at the great Nu-
bian whose name was a terror under

The dead mans face showed an un-
dershot jaw and thick. heavy lips. In
life he had been fully six feet six
inches tail
Nadir was executed after trial by
court-martiaI on the charge that he
instigated the mutiny of the troops on
April Is. He was reputed to be in
tenseIy ambitious. subtle minded and
insensible to the sufferings Of others.

| Fehim Pasha.

tenn has been assassinated somewhere

1 nd IN
hothouse of intrigue. Since the de.
parture OF Izzet Pasha and Fehim Pa

been the chief conspirator in the events
of the 18th Of April.

the principals in the mutiny Of the troops
were condemned to death. Later they

| Prince Sabah Eddine, nephew OF the
sultan, who was arrested on suspicion
of being implicated in the rising. has
been liberated. His release has caused
a good impression.
| The huge square inside the ratings of
the war office presented an unusual scene
yesterday afternoon. Thousands or SOL
diers of the late garrison were seated.
cross-legged, in companies in a great
semi-circle. while officers made the rounds
and picked out those suspected of active
completely in the mutiny.
The men. however, were cheerful. They
chatted and smoked and appeared to
bear their disgrace lightly.
| Mahoud Schefket Pasha, commanding
the forces, in an interview intimates his
intention to purify the capital OF all sub
yersive elements and to establish saiu-
tary example to the army. He says ne
will have no half measures, but will thor
oughly clear up the situation
| For this purpose the state OF Siege will
be prolonged probably for month 1t
| will be soon relaxed somewhat In the
European quarter, however.
| An official notice has been published
stating that henceforth the Inhabitants
Of Constantinople will be permitted to
be on the streets at night until 1880
o'clock.
| Three monuments, commemorative OF
| Saturdays events. will be erected In the
city by public subscription.

tensive. All the embassies and legations

| with Macedonian volunteers. They are
being feted by the citizens at the conee
houses and restaurants, which are all
| full to overflowing.

seen in recent days, are now reappearing
| I'm the public places. Conditions are as
suming a normal aspect.
| Mehemmed v is attending to his court
duties, receiving various officials at Dolma-
| bagtsche Palace where he has taken up
his quarters in plain and unceremonious
manner
| Access to the palace is easy and the
sultan's conversation is familiar. the
whole being in striking contrast with the
| conditions that prevailed at the Yildiz.
| The absence of troops at the palace IL
marked, and only a few policemen are
on duty at the entrance. Most OF the
volunteers will leave for their homes to-
day, after being entertained at farewell
banquet outside the city walls.
