ace at Yildiz to the railroad station in

been voluntarily practically pris-

AS The DAWN OF A NEW ERA
How constantinopIe Papers Regard
Deposition of Sultan.

Constantinop1e, April 29.-The fet-
wa, or official decision of the She1k
vi Islam authorizing the deposition of
Abdul Hanid, has been made public.
1t embraces the questions put by par
lament to the Sheik VI Islam and his
answer thereto. The text follows:
what becomes of an imam (the
of the orthodox faith) who has de-
stroyed certain holy writings; who
has seized property in contravention
to the Sheri laws; who has commit
ted cruelties in ordering the assas-
sination and Imprisonment of exiles
without any justification under the
Sheri laws; who has squandered the
public money; who, having sworn to
govern according to the Sheriat, has
violated his oath; who, by gifts of
money has provoked internecine
bloodshed and civil war and who no
longer is recognized in the PROV
incest"
To this the Sheik VI Islam replied.
HE must abdicate or be deposed"
Not one of the Constantinople news
papers has good word for Abdul
Hamid, whose life and reign are be-
ing held up to universal execration.
On the other hand the accession of
Mehmed V. is regarded as the dawn
of new era.
In order to enable the public to in
dulge in rejoicings there has been or
dered temporary suspension of the
state of siege. The city will be
Illuminated, but fire works have been
prohibited.
The cabinet has been requested to
remain in Office for some days longer.

Splendid Angling.

He was dashing city chap,
And hungered for an outing;
And though the season it was late,
Decided to go trouting.
He fished all day without success,
At eventide, quite mute he,
Called at farmhouse for a meal,
But had no speckled beauty.
He met thereat a country maid,
A winsome, freckled creature;
With rougish eyes and auburn hair,
OF charming form and feature.
He went again, and yet again,
'Twixt love and fish and duty;
But ere the fishing season closed
He's caught speckled beauty.
