ee Bellefonte, Pa., April 23, 1909, Army Is In Sight of Constantinople. Abdul Hamid, Realizing His Down- | fall, Reported to Have Fled—Prince | Yussof Izzedine to Be Proclaimed Sultan, Constantinople, April 20.—The most important feature of the situation in the Turkish capitol was the report that Sultan Abdul Hemid had abdi- cated. It caused the greatest excite ment in the lobbies of parliament, and spread with lightning-like rapidity throughout the city. A rumor of the flight of the sultan on a warship, fol-| lowed closely on that of his abdication, but neither could be confirmed. Large crowds gathered at the British em-| bassy, where. other reports had it, the | sultan had taken refuge, and there also were scores of inquiries of the Russian embassy concerning the truth of the rumor that his majesty was under the protection of Russia on one of its guardships. At both of these embassies all knowledge of the sultan’s movements | was denied, and the Turkish foreign office also gave a strong denial to one and all of these rumors. The abdica- tion, of Abdul Hamid, however, ap- pears not to be improbable, and it is expected that within a day or two the | Constitutionalists may accept as his | successor Prince Yussof Izzedine, the oldest son of the late sultan, who is gecond in line, as they are strongly | displeased with Abdul Hamid's atti-| tude. The palace is under a strong guard, and even high officials were not permitted to enter it. i The advance of the Ccnstitutional forces began Monday. Small parties | were sent out to reconnoitre, and in the evening they were within sight of the gates of Constantinople. They encountered no resistance, nor does any resistance seem likely, unless it is at the palace. The headquarters of the Constitutionalist’'s army is at De- | deagatch, and General Husni Pasha’s | forces, which now number between | 20,000 and 30,000, occupy a range of | hills about twenty miles from the cap- | ital. Every hour reinforcements are adding to their numbers. Even though the rumors of the sul- | tan’'s abdication are unconfirmed they seemed to produce a feeling of distinct relief in Constantinople, and the ad- | vance of the Salonika army, which is glow but steady, makes the settlement of the question of administration a’ matter of hours. Business of all kinds is practically suspended, and the civil and military officials appear paralyzed, waiting for | the outcome of events. There is much satisfaction at the signing of the pro- | tocol. which excludes apprehensions | with regard to the intervention of Bulgaria to add to the difficulties of | the crisis. | Throughout the night there was | great suspense at the Yildiz Kiosk. | Everybody remained awake, and many | attendants fled, fearing an attack upon : the palace, which is situated on the | heights outside the city and is exposed | to a coup de main, without the neces- | eity of entering the city. ! The consensus of opinion is that if | the abdication of the sultan is brought about. his overthrow and the procla- | mation of his successor will be ac- complished peacefully. | PUNCHED HOLES IN HIS BODY | Prisoner Tries to Kill Himself by Push- | ing Needles Into His Abdomen. Meadville, Pa.. April 20.—John Cro- nin, a jail prisoner awaiting trial for | the murder of Harry Winters, has been | trying to kill himself by punching his body full of needles. He has pushed seven ordinary needles into his abdo- men and one just below his heart, so close that the lining was perforated. He is in a critical condition and is suf- fering the most intense agony.

A PLAGUE OF ANTS. The Vicious Insects Are a Nuisance In Southwestern Africa. “Ants—white, black and yellow—are a great nuisance in Nigeria,” says Charles Partridge in “Cross River Na- place in military formation. Some car- ry their young, others bear food, and scouts and a fighting escort are always on duty. Their column looks like a long black snake curving along the ground. “They leave behind them a well formed road about four inches broad and half an inch deep, worn smooth by the tread of the countless throng. “They do not bite when the sun is high, but woe betide the hapless wight who comes in their way at other times! While traveling through the bush you occasionally find them In possession of a section of the road. Perhaps you are in the midst of them before you dis- cover the presence of your small but fierce adversary. The first man bitten vells out something meaning, ‘Ware ants!” and we all hurry forward, stamp- ing vigorously. Those of us upon whom the little warriors have fastened tear off our clothes and nip the foes to death. My little black horse always wanted to turn back when he came to a column of ants. My dog Bob, a na- tive, used to dance like a bear on hot | bricks when the driver ants got be- tween his paws and had to be held down while they were plucked out. “One night | suddenly awoke with a feeling that something was amiss. All the household pets, such as snakes, lizards, rats. toads, centipeds and spi ders, seemed to be bestirring them. selves restlessly. No sooner had my foot touched the ground than | knew what it was, for a fierce bite told me “On lighting a candle I found a col umn marching across the floor and a whole regiment attacking my bed. | roused the assistant district commis- sioner, and eventually, using wisps of burning paper, we drove out the en- emy.
