Washington said
The following day came the official builetln
from the head of the church announcing that
the ruler had been unseated, his Office turned
to his brother and making grave charges
against Abdul Hamid, now an old man.
at is the will of Allah," sighed the old
man, his shoulders seeming even more stopped
after the strenuous events of two days.
Carassa Efendi, member of the deputation
from the national assembly, which conveyed
the fetva (announcement) to the Yildiz palace,
tells graphic story of the dramatic scene
which closed six centuries domination of the
boundless power of the Padishahs. When the
deputation arrived at the palace the scene was
of utter desolation. The investing army
had cut off the water, gas and electric sup
plies and had stopped the ingress of food, SO
that all the palace officials already were suf-
fering from hunger and panic.
While waiting to be introduced to the sui
tan the members of the deputation carefully
examined their holsters and pistols, and, ac-
cording to Carassa, had Abdul Hamid shown
armed hand he would have been shot on
the spot, After much delay the unwelcome
visitors, surrounded by 20 black eunuchs, were
ushered into the sultan's apartment. where
stood the sultan's son. Prince Abdur Rahim.
Presently the sultan entered in a bewildered
manner. He was dressed somewhat negligent
ly, as though his clothes had been hastily
donned in civilian attire. His hung at
his sides and his hands trembled.
After a silent salute Essad Pasha pro-
nounced in slow tones the decree Of deposition
at which the sultan shuddered
There painful silence followed by
an equally painful colloquy, lasting quarter
of an hour. Abdul Hamid appealed for his
life and for the lives of his family. He pro-
tested his devotion to the people and hts in
nocence in recent events.
The youthful prince burst into tears, and
after vain efforts to restrain his feelings, re-
tired behind a screen, where he broke into
bitter sobs. For a moment tears trembled in
the sultans eyes. Then he duplicated the
soldiers in attendance to swear that they would
not take his life. The deputaton brought the
interview to a close and Abdul Hamid humby
saluted them as they departed.

mode Of meeting bill collections gave Abdul
Hamid the name of the sick man of Europe"
Contrary to Abdul's policies Mehmed V. has
shaped his plans in such manner that Tur-
key Is to be given and, it is said is being
given thoroughly economical administration
with the people at the helm to a large extent.
The first two months of Mehmed's reign have
seen him an object Of worship by the people
and the change in the order OF things from
the old way SO thoroughly welcomed by the
Turkish. populace in general that the sultan
evidenced his belief in the sincerity of his
people by appearing on the streets upon sever
al occasions when the same action by his broth
er would have produced vacancy in the royal
family.

E1)6 last quarter of a century when demonstra-
tions before the porte were constantly planned
and often executed for the sole purpose OF

They seldom frightened him that far, but at
least extracted promise Of payments on account.
The extent of the Ottoman empire to-day
is over 100000 square miles, while back in

cultural operations.
1t is said that to-day through the slavery
laws and heavy taxation opposed by the for
mer ruler there are 100000 acres of uncul-
tivated land in Turkey. Think of the vast
revenue from the soil which is year after year
absolutely going to waste. Much of this land
is in the possession of the crown and what
little duty was squeezed from 1t usually went
into the Golfers Of the brother OF the present
ruler.
In evidence that Abdul Hamid was wise
fnancier and a merciless master are offered
the discoveries of the cabinet members who
were selected as advisers to Mehmed. In the
palace and in the grounds surrounding there
was unearthed over s10.00O000 in coin, and pa
pers were found which showed the former sui
tan to have $15.0o0,ooo in the banks OF Ger

The HOG MARKED.

Stock Yards, Chicago Sept. s.
Fresh receipts of hogs fell SO far below
expectations that four of the usual
leading packers stayed out of the trade
entirely, while those who operated cur
tailed their purchases in order to keep
prices from getting away from their
control altogether. Even with restrict
ed purchases statesmen were able to
sustain the price range at a firm to a
shade higher level, and although a
weaker feeling developed late in tn.
day the sellers held the advantage dur
ing most of the time. About as many
hogs were left unsold at the close as
there were carried over from the pre-
ceding day and the supply of newly
received stock was well absorbed.
Receipts were posted at 5000, al
though many traders We're of the opin-
ion that official figures would fall short
Of that number. Total arrivals for two
days aggregated about $4,000, against
39,0O1 week ago and 31,S72 a, year

Stock Yards. Chicago, Sept. S.
Mondays actual receipts overran the
highest expectancy. There were 29,607
actual arrivals, divided into 10000
western rangers. about 1000 south
western grass cattle, while the balance
were corn-belt steers and she stock.
Native run thus far in the week has
been quite light and proportion of
strictly good to choice grades Monday
smalled in long time. This accounted
for the relative firmness i'm trade for
these grades compared with the plain
and medium classes. Prices for the
500 and higher classes, in holding
steady with last weeks closing range
in Monday trade, gave indication of
the Partially of killers demands for
good beef. Boost in wholesale prices
for No. ! ribs and loins indicates the
strength of consumptiye demand for
best grades, but as against a strong
beef market for tops there is claimed
weaker tendency in the trade for
lower class beef and, with biggest end
of cattle marketing steers of the class
which go into lower priced beef trade,
Killers bearish attitude is well ex-
planned. Rangers are just now proving
the cheapest buying proposition, and
while opportunity with cheap west
ern beef there will hardly be improved
demand for the lower priced natives.
VII tie OII1er mana the apparent
scarcity of finished native steers is as
surance of firmness in prices for the
next few weeks. The country appears
to have been caught short handed with
finished steers at a time when the beef
market for that kind shows greater
strength than earlier this season.
Native Beef Cattle.
Scattered here and there about the
Yards We're common and medium

aggregate of which made q very slim
total. There was an Indifferent gem
eral demand. practically none of the

tives. and trade tone was dull, the few
sales noted making prices about on a
par with Mondays reduced level. OF
the $500 arrivals there were fully s.
600 western rangers. which made H.
600 rangers for the two days this week,
while total general receipts for two

Tuesday, since all the buying interests
We're directed toward the western
range cattle trade. Westerners in many
instances again sold at lower prices
than current Monday, and the rela-
i've cheapness of the rangers appealed
strongly to the killers.

Country Shippers Complain That the
Deals Refuse to Pay First


Stock Yards, Chicago, Sept s.
How is the market" is a question one
is frequently asked by both shippers
and dealers and conditions are report
ed as unfayorable to both interests.
The eastern buyer protests that whole
sale prices are too high for his Gus
TONER'S and mean a loss to sale stables
which depend on western supplies to
meet the demands of trade. The coun-
Try shipper protests that first cost with
added shipping and commission
charges leaves him no profit for his
time and investment, making market
conditions very unsatisfactory to the
general trade. The country shipper has
been hopeful with the Improvement OF
general business activities there
would be conservative advance In
values of sufficient volume to make
reasonable profit on country cost, but
the rally has not vet materialized, and
while more horses are being sold, sum-
ner prices nominally hold stationary.
good market means reasonable
advance of wholesale prices or a con-
servatiye decline of country cost, and
the trade waits for this adjustment to
