NIAGARA GORGE
THREATENS RUIN
Mountains of Ice May Cause New
Channel TO Form.
Famous Suspension Bridge in Danger
of Observation-Disclosures Frozen
for First Time in History-River
Carries Torrents of Ice From
Lake Erie.

Niagara Falls, April 22.-Vast areas
of angry water and mountains of ice
backed up by the gorge in Niagara
river. threaten to cut new channel
and destroy one side, at least, of the
famous falls, one of the chief wonders
of the rworld. The famous spidery sus-
pension bridge, once the highest and
longest in the world, and admittedly
one of the most famous engineering
projects, is in imminent danger of
destruction.
At Niagara on-the-Lake the river is
l8 feet above the normal level, and is
still rising.
The gorge road which skirts the
American shore is almost, obliterated.
The great whirlpool, which has never
in the memory of the white man sub
mitted to the will of the ice, is lost to
view under the pack, which at that
point spans the stream, and every min
ute the covering of ice is becoming
thicker.
The pressure of the on-rush from
Lake Erie has piled the far stretches
in great concentric ridges, some of
them rising to height of SO feet. 1t
is possible with the aid of a plank to
cross the pool from shore to shore.

MASSACRES SPREAD NORTH.
New Regions Affected by Fanatical
Wave of Staying.

Constantinople, April 20. - The
spread of the wave of massacre and
death to Erzerum, the principal town
of Turkish Armenia, in a district far
removed to the north from that hither-
to affected by the wave of fanaticism,
is leading to the conclusion here that
the oatrages are being inspired by the
sultan, more or less directly, as coun-
ter move in politics to the constitu-
tional movement of the Young Turks.
Weight is given this conclusion by
the change in feeling on the part of
the Armenians, who are now ceasing
their enthusiastic hailing of the con-
stitutional government, and appealing
again for the laws of the Sheri and the
sultan. That the Young Turks have
been very friendly with the Christians
is a matter of record; and the fact
that the fanatical Moslems have been
reused to attack Christians is regarded
as an indirect way of bringing pressure
upon the Young Turks by many in
well-informed political circles. Horri-
BILE as this idea is, it is fast gaining
ground, and the behavior of the Ar.
menians themselves in abandoning
their appeals to the Young Turks and
placing reliance on the sultan is fur-
Their proof of it.

Constantinople, April 24.-The ad-
vance of the concentrated army of in
vestment was begun last night. While
the favored troops of the Constantine
pie garrison were giving homage to the
sultan on Yildiz hill, there was a for
ward movement of the Constitutional
forces to within two and one-half miles
of the Yildiz Kiosk. Cavalry went
out to reconnoiter and soldiers were
sent to picket the bridge across the
Sweet Waters.
There was great panic. Shopkeep-
ers in large part of Pera put up their
shutters. British Ambassador Low
theirs was caught in the swirling crowd
near the embassy and hundreds of fran
tic persons poured into the embassy
compound, imploring asylum. The
gates of the embassy were closed with
difficulty, but it was late in the after
noon before the refugees were reassur-
ed and sent homeward.
A dispatch. from Salonica declares
that after consultation of Schefket
Pasha and the assembly with Moham-
med Rechad Effendi, heir apparent to
the throne, it was decided to demand
that the Sheik- Ul-Islam issue decree
proclaiming Mohammed Rechad Effendi
sultan.

JURY PROBES SMUGGLING.
Federal Body Takes Action in New

Federal Body Takes Action in New
York Gown Importations.
New York, April 21.-Further inves-
tigation of the systematic smuggling
of Paris gowns into this port led the
customs officials to declare that the
syndicate probably had struggled in
81, 900, 600 worth of goods each year
for the last 10 years, thus defrauding
the government out of $500, 900 an
nually in customs duties.
Efforts to avoid criminal prosecution
and to shield from publicity the prom
inent women for whom the S55, 900
worth of gowns recently seized were
intended resulted in the offer by repu-
table attorneys representing anonymous
clients of $3.50, 900 to the government
to drop the investigation.
The Federal grand jury is investi-
eating the case, and it is intimated the
identity of the smugglers will be re-
vealed.

Butchery in Syria Reaches Appalling
Degree and Craze Spreads.


Degree and Craze Spreads.
Constantinopple, April 22.-Massa-
'es that started last week in Adana
have spread along the Syrian coast and
toward the interior as far as the villa
yet of Aleppo, and fanaticism has led
to wholesale butchery throughout this
entire district. 1t is conservatively
estimated that over 10000 have been
slain, the majority of this number be-
ing women and children, who have been
slaughtered in droves.
Religious uprisings have broken out
in Antioch and Birejik, and foreigners
have taken refuge in the British con-
sulates. Fifty men from the British
warship Diana have been landed at AL
exandretta, but their distance from the
scene of the latest outbreaks seems to
have no effect in stopping the ravages
of the religion-crazed slayers.
The situation at Alexandretta is crit
ical. Panic everywhere prevails.
Thousands of refugees are crowding
the city, which is patrolled by marines
from the British cruiser Diana.

Beirut, April 27.-The situation in
Asiatic Turkey is extremely serious.
How many thousands have been msssa-
cred cannot even be estimated, because
the disturbances have been 80 wide
spread it is impossible to obtain de-
tails of the happenings.
The latest estimate of the number
killed in the vilayet of Adana reaches
approximately rs, and thousands
have been killed in the towns of out
side districts.
The state of siege at several Of the
places has brought the inhabitants near
starvation, and each day brings its
tales Of further atrocities and the
depths Of misery and despair to which
the savsgery of the fanatics has
brought the people.
Several warships are now in these
waters, but the disorders are so far
reaching. that efforts Of the powers to
restore normal conditions have as yet
hardly been felt. The cruiser Jules
Ferry arrived today and left almost
Immediately for Latakia, where
swarms of refugees are pouring in.
British, French and German warships
are at other ports, and marines have
been landed to quoll the disorders at
the most important points.
One Of the missionaries at Alexan-
dretta, Mr.. Kennedy, with $50 Turkish
troops, has gone TO the relief of Deury-
tel, an Armenian village on the coast,
where 10, persons within the walls
are besieged by immense bands Of
Kurds and Circassians.

Constantinople, April 21.--Sultan
Abdul Hamid is awaiting in his palace
for whatever may befall. His grand
vizier. Tewik Pasha, has announced
that, without fear, the sultan will re-
main with his family and accept re-
signedly the fate prepared for him and
his country.
Tewfik Pasha and the minister of
war, Edhem Pasha, who sent their res
ignations last night, decided to with
draw them today, and the grand vizier
is passing most Of the time with the
sultan.
Nazim Pasha is still in command of
the garrison, but no preparations have
been made to resist the advance of the
Salonica troops. The Constitutionalist
lines now envelop the city, but the
commander in chief, General Husni
Pasha, is still at Hademoki and it is
not likely that the invaders will enter
the city before tomorrow night or the
following day.
1t is understood that the Salonicans
have submitted TO the government a
list Of persons whose punishment is de-
manded for completely in the recent
mutiny. This list includes deputies
and journalists. But apparently there
is the utmost good feeling between the
invaders and the residents of the city,
many Of whom visited the camps of the
Salonica troops today and were receiv-
ed Hospitality.

GALE KILLS AND MAINS.
Ohio lakefront Swept by Sudden
Fve-Minute Blow.


Cleveland, April 2.-Three persons
were killed. six perhaps fatally hurt,
at least so less seriously injured and
81, 900, 900 worth of property destroyed
in tornado that swept through Cleve-
land and Northern Ohio yesterday.
The storm arose suddenly and lasted
just five minutes. At IL 80 the sun
was shining brightly. At IL :33 the
city was dark. From the northeast of
the lake came 66-mile gale and heavy
rain. People were blown off their feet
and hurled against buildings in many
places, to be struck down by bricks
and timbers that filled the air.
Roofs were lifted off houses, walls
hurled down, strongly-bra smoke
stacks picked up and chimneys demol-
lshed. Twelve school buildings were
damaged. Many pupils had remark
able escapes, but none were seriously
hurt. Firemen and policemen turned
out to assist the people whose homes
had been wrecked. So seriouly was
the telephone service crippled that it
was impossible to get connection with
either the police or fire headquarters.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC LARGE.
Thousands Will Seek Homes on Pa
cifc Coast.


Chicago, April 21.-Officials of the
North Pacific coast roads expect an un-
usually large passenger traffic to that
country during the coming summer
1t will not be created wholly by the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific fair, though that
will be great drawing card. There
will also be a vast volume of travel
brought about by the large number of
persons going to the coast with the
intention of becoming permanent
settlers in the Northwestern country.
The business depression which has
been keenly felt in all the industrial
and commercial centers of the East
has caused a great many people to seek
out pastures new as the fields for their
future exertions, and large numbers of
these have come to look upon the Pa
cific Northwest coast country as offer
ing them the greatest inducement of
making their future homes there.
Already inquiries are being made of
the railroads in great numbers as to
facilities for transportation and reser-
vations are being made for sleeping car
and other accommodations away in ad-
vance of anything believed to be posi-

SULTAN GIVES IN.
Surrenders All Power to Parliament
and Awaits Decision.

Constantinople, April 23. - The
Young Turks have won another VIC
tory over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but
whether the sultan will remain as SOW
ereign is yet to be decided, although
he has offered to place the affairs of
government entirely in the hands Of
ministers responsible to parliament.
The sultan also agrees to replace the
Constantinople GARRISON with troops
that have been investing the city for
four days.
The chamber of deputies and some of
the senators met today at San Stefano
and are now discussing the question of
deposing the sultan.
The concentration of the investing
army is complete and doubtless the
next "a hours will decide the fate of
the sultan, who remains passively at
his palace, awaiting the issue.
For the present there need be little
fear of bloodshed within the city, but
there is much to be feared from the
riots and massacres that now are
sweeping over the districts under Turk
ish domination.

Mexico City, April 21.-A severe
eruption of the Colima volcano, follow
ed by an earthquake shock, has spread
terror and confusion among the inhabi-
tants of nearby towns, a number of
whom deserted their homes, and fled to
points outside the affected zone. The
eruption began at $40 o'clock yester-
day morning. 1t covered wide area
with ashes and lava, and subsidized at
nightfall. Just as confidence was be-
ing restored, the region was shaken by
violent explosion, and the populace
once more was thrown into panic.

Lewiston-Fully half dozen new
grain warehouses will be built in the
Lewiston country this summer, accord

Nez Perez and one midway between
Nez Perez and Vollmer. 1t is probable
that they will also build at Vollmer.
Arrow Junction will become an i'm

Boise-The Chicago wool warehouse
plan is becoming popular among Idaho
sheepmen, who are this year reaping a
much better reward from the industry
in which they are engaged than was
anticipated early in the year. While
dealers claim that the sales to buyers
on the ground are heavy and that the
Eastern warehouse does not affect the
market, growers deny the statement
and point to the unusual activity in the
market as an indication that new ele-
ment has entered into it. The clip of
Idaho and of Oregon is being sold at
nearly double the price secuerd last
year. 1t is conceded, however, that
combination beared the price seriously
