ANOTHER VICTORY FOR YOUNG TURKS "i THE SULTAN PROMISES TO WITH DRAW FROM ADMINISTRA TIVE ACTIVITIES. CAUSE OF ADANA MASSACRE Thousands of Armenians Were Killed and Thousands More Are home less, Penniless and Starving —Situation Has Improved. Constantinople, Turkey. The Young Turks have won another victory over Sultan Abdul Ilamid, but whether the sultan will remain a3 sovereign of the empire is yet to be decided, al though he has offered to place the af fairs of government entirely in the hands of the ministers responsible to parliament. Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizier, yes- j terday arranged a compromise with certain prominent Constitutionalists, aud this was approved by the sultan personally, but doubts exist whether this agreement will be accepted by the majority of the committee of un ion and progress or by enough of the military group to carry it into effect. In addition to promising to with draw himself from the administrative activities, the sultan agrees to change j the personnel of the troops guarding | the palace and the replacing of the Constantinople garrison by troops from the corps which has practically been investing the city for four days. Tim chamber of deputies and some of the senators met yesterday at San Stefano and are now discussing the question of deposition of the sultan, j The warships have gone to that j place and officers and men have of- j fered their services to the Constitu- i tionalists. Mahmoud Snefket Pasha, j commander of Third army corps, has j arrived at that place, and the concen- | tration of the investing army is now I complete. Cause of Trouble at Adana. Adana. The immediate pretext j for the disorders here was the j shooting by an Armenian of three I Turks, one of whom died on April 10. j The following evening a Moslem j crowd beat an Armenian to death. Un- | easiness greatly increased among the ] Armenians and several of the most prominent of them urgently demand ed that the governor take adequate measures to preserve order. On the morning of the 14th the sit uation became critical, the Armenians closed their shops and later the j Turks did likewise. The Armenians i repeated their demand and the gov- j ernor gave assurances that there j would be no disturbances, whereupon i the leaders of both sides went through j the streets urging the shopkeepers to reopen their places of business. At noon, however, Moslem crowds armed j with clubs filled the market places 1 and the streets and soon the massacre j began, with the looting and burning ! of shops and houses. The reign of terror continued for ihree days. The two American mis sionaries, Messrs. Rogers and Mau- j rer, were killed early in the fighting and the British vice consul was wound- ! ed while riding through the streets attempting to restore order. The Ar menians defended themselves with as i much bravery as possible and killed many of the Moslems. It was not un til the afternoon of April 16 that the government afforded protection. ' Troops were sent out to patrol the streets and guards were posted, but order was restored slowly. During the nights conflagrations threatened the entire city, and much destruction was wrought in this way. It is estimated that thousands of Armenians were killed and thousands more homeless, penniless and starving. The devasta tion in the outskirts of the city is inconceivable. Large relief measures have been undertaken by four hospi tals. but enormous relief is necessary. The latest news from the massacre districts indicates an improvement in conditions. The situation at Alexan dretta also has improved and Beilan is still safe from disorders. Date Set for Black Handers' Trial.

Noyes of the Associated Press present ed Maj. Hemphill as the toastmaster of the evening. A toast, was given to the president of the United States, the audience rising and drinking to the health of the executive, while the band played "The Star Spangled Ban ner." Maj. Hemphill in his introductory remarks spoke of the organizations whose members joined at the festive board as "The greatest and most pow erful newspaper associations in the world. They are American in name and in purpose and here we have the really beautiful spectacle of the pub lishers who make the money and the editors who spend it, mingling upon apparently friendly terms, while the common people pass by on the out side utterly oblivious of our real im portance in the great economy. With out us much of what is worst in our social life would not be exposed and most of what is best for the state ■would not be achieved." When Mr. Choate had concluded his address there occurred two pleas ant incidents, the presentation of gifts of appreciation to men who had faith fully performed onerous duties for their associates. The first of these was the presentation to John 11. Fa hey of the Boston Traveler of a lov ing cup in token of his work as chair man of the special committee of the Associated Press; the other was the presentation to Herman Bidder of the New York Staats Zeitung of a hand some silver center piece, in recogni tion on the part of the members of the American Newspaper Publishers' as sociation of his labors for free wood pulp and print paper.

Suffolk, Va. -Tunnelling their way under four other buildings to reach the vaults of a bank, robbers gained admission to the Bank of Suffolk, carried away with them a large amount of loose currency, gold and sil ver and succeeded in making their escape. Although the loss was discovered by the officials of the bank Monday morn ing, no notification thereof was given to the police until late yesterday. It is thought the thieves must have spent at least ten days before they suc ceeded in reaching the bank by their underground course. It is believed that they finished their job and made their entrance to the bank either on Sunday or Sunday night. They at tempted to break oi*en the vault but did not succeed in this. They secured about $1,500. The police have 110 clue. Inside the tunnel were found empty bottles, cigar stumps and bits of food, which make it evident that they must have spent most of their time in the tunnel. Employes in one of the stores under which the robbers tunneled say they have observed some peculiar noises beneath them during the past week.
