In the regiment of Macedonians
| that turned traitors to the consti-
tuition they themselves had been so
active in bringing about in July, was
young man whose father was in
the Macedonian army of investment
Before the battle the father came in
TO the Pera and went in to see
his son. He told him that he loved
him, but that he loved the honor OF
his family more and shot his own
son dead.
Yesterday in Parliament was read
a part of the list of what has so
far been found in the palace OF
Yildiz and taken over by the gov
eminent. There is an immense
amount of jewels and valuable orna-
ments, and s1,962,OOO in bank notes
and gold Just before his abdica-
ton the Sultans allowance was re-
duced from e45,000 a month to e 25,-
900. The present Sultan has stated
that 100000 is sufficient for him
and that he should like the remain
ing $4,000 a month to go to the for
mer Sultan's sons. He has also re-
duced very much his household, that
is, making it much less than the
late Sultan was allowed by parlia-
ment.
Yesterday hodaj zone of the
clergy) was caught trying to get
found e40O in gold The reaction
aries are alive yet and we shall prob
ably hear from them. Every day
full of interesting events, but among
the wild rumors it is hard to know
the facts.
The secrecy of the young Turks,
too, makes it more difficult Today
there is a proclamation demanding
that everyone of all nationa it es
give UP all firearms and knives. Any
found holding such after five days
from the date of this proclamation
will be regarded as aiming against
the public peace and will be TT Ell
and punished accordingly by court
martial. The state of seige is very
severe, for they fear reactionary mas
sacres.
Our ambassador is working hard
to urge the committee to eXecu- e
as few as possible. l think they
are very lenient. So far, none have
been put to death, except such of
their own Macedonian troops as We're
among the mutineers and refused to
surrender, or those who raised the
white flag and then fired, and spies
caught in the act of corrupting the
troops.
The task before the Parliament is
as complicated and difficult as any
that has ever faced a young govern
ment. May God give them wisdom
to steer, so that We may have no
more bloodshed. The details of the
Adana massacres are so horrible

PENSIONS MORE COSTLY.
In Spite of 1882 Deaths, S16I ,973,-
703 WaS Paid out Last Yea.

Washington Oct. 1s.-Deaths caused 4s,s12 names
to be dropped from the pension rolls last year or
this number 1881 survivors of the Civil
War. The total loss to the pension roll from all
causes 5l,5Si.
In striking contrast to these figures comprised in
the annual report of Vespasian Warner Commits
sioner OF Pensions. is the statement that the gov
eTnment paid out in pensions in the fiscal wear
ended June 30. 1902 61.S73.7O3. which the Commits
sioner declares is the largest amount ever dis
bursed in one year. The report shows these facts:
Number of pensioners at the beginning of the year
951 6S7 number of pensioners added to the roll
46OSS; pensioners on roll at close of the year.
s461S4, net decrease OF 549S. Survivors OF the
Civil War on the roll number 593 961
Commissioner Warner explains that the increase
in the amount paid out for pensions was due urin-
cipally to the large number placed on the roll
under the act OF February 6. 1907 granting s12 s15
ard $40 monthly TO survivors OF the war with Mex-
leo and the Civil War reaching the ages Of
