PALACESURRENDERED
Fate of the Sultan to Be Decid
ed by Parliament.
Losses on Both Sides Were Heavy
During the Brief Contest Artillery
Barracks in Scutari Was Last Post
to Surrender After Threatening to
Blow the City Into Ruins Constan
tinople Declared In State of Siege by
Parliamentary Commanders.
The Kildlz Kiosk garrison at Con
stantinople has surrendered to the
Constitutionalist forces. The com
manders of these battalions began
Bending In their submission to
Mahmoud Schefket Pasha Saturday
night, and the whole of the troops
protecting the palace gave their formal
and unconditional surrender shortly
after dawn. Niazl Bey, who is called
the hero of the July revolution, Is now
In command of the garrison.
Sultan Abdul Hamid has been per
mitted to remain within the walls of
the Yildlz Kiosk, where, In company
with his ministers, he waited for the
outcome of the struggle between his
loyal troops and the army of Invest
ment, each hour bringing to him word
of a fresh disaster. It hns been stat
ed, since victory rested with the Con
stitutionalists, that the sultan himself
gave orders to his men not to resist.
Whether or not this Is true. It can be
safely said of the troops within the
capital that they put up a stubborn
resistance at all points, and the losses
on both sides are exceedingly heavy,
for the length of time the engagement
was In progress.
A representative of the commander-in-chief
of the Constitutionalist forces
Is authority for paying that the sultan
will be dealt with by the parliament
and that there will be an adequate
Inquiry Into the sovereign's alleged
complicity In the recent mutiny. Up
to the present the ministry has not
been dissolved, but Constantinople
and a number of other places have
been declared In a state of siege. Mar
tial law prevails, and while there Is
some uneasiness among the people
order has been maintained with a
strict hand.
The last garrison to surrender was
the Sellmlch artillery barracks, in Scu
tari, opposite Stamboul. Four thous
and men stationed there with a hun
dred guns threatened to blow the city
Into ruins, but General Schefket Sun
day ordered up sixty big guns and sev
eral batteries of machine guns to posi
tions which commanded the barracks,
and the cruiser Medljieh steamed out
of range of the field pieces and pre
pared for sctlon. The commander of
the barracks thereupon submitted,
and the artillerymen were marched
out as the troops of the other garrisons
already had been treated, and made
temporary prisoners without arms, to
await transfer to outlying districts.
END OF GOEBEL CASE
Governor Willson Grants Pardon to
Those Over Whom Charges Have
Been Hanging.
Governor Willson cleared Kentucky
court records of all charges growing
out of the murder In January, 1900, of
Senator William Goebel, who was de
clared by the legislature to have been
governor, except those hanging over
state's evidence witnesses In the al
leged conspiracy, by granting pardons
before trial to former Governor W. S.
Taylor and former Secretary of State
Charles Finley, who have been fugi
tives in the state of Indiana for nine
years; to John Powers, brother of Ca
leb Powers, who is believed to be In
Honduras; to Holland Whlttaker of
Butler county, John Davis of Louis
ville and Zach Steele of Bell county,
who did not flee the state.
Those over whom Indictments are
left hanging are Wharton Golden of
Knox county, now in Colorado; Frank
Cecil of Bell county, now a railroad
detective in St. Louis, and William
H. Culton of Owsley county, said to
have died In the West recently.
These cases, with the possible ex
ception of that against Cecil, will be
dismissed, leaving Henry E. Youtsey,
now serving a life sentence In the
state penitentiary, the only person to
suffer for the assassination of Goebel.
STARTS FOR PEASE'S RANCH
Ex-Presldent on First Day's Hunt
Bagged Two Wildebeestes and
. a Gazelle. .
After a brief hunting expedition
at Kapltl Plains, ex -President Roose
velt and his party broke camp and
started for the ranch of Sir Alfred
Pease, on the Athl river. Colonel
Roosevelt spent part of the afternoon
sorting his kit, while Kermlt and sev
eral of the men went to try their luck
With the Titles. An old settler, who
seemed to take a liking to Keruiit, of
fered to show him a likely place for
good sport. They succeeded In bring
ing down one buck.
Colonel Roosevelt's first hunt was
frvored by fine weather and he en
joyed the experience immensely. He
bagged two wildebeestes and a Thomp
son's gazelle. In one respect Mr.
Roosevelt was somewhat disappointed,
as he had been anxious to secure a
Giant's gazelle, whose massive horns
are much sought after for trophies.
The hunt lasted several hours and all
the members of the party were well
tlrod out hen they returned to the
tamps.
PATTEN QUITS MARKET
Cold His Heavy Holdings of Wheal
and Prices Dropped.
That James A. Patten, hailed
throughout the country as the "wheal
king," has withdrawn from the Chi
cogo mar'. after disposing of his
heavy holdings of .May and July
wheat, was asserted. To this as
sertion verslmlltude was added by
the fact that prices have tumbled
over nine cent during the last week
and that Mr. Patten himself has sough:
rest In the fastness of a New Mexico
ranch.
Whether he has eliminated hlmsell
from the no-called "deal" and If so,
whether he came out with profit or
loss, are questions which can be an
swered only by Mr. Patten himself.
The session of the board of trade
was a sensational one. Bulls had ex
pected that after the six cent decline
of the two previous sessions, a re
covery would ensue. Taking the Pat
ten view of a big crop shortage as cor
rect and wheat Intrinsically worth all
tint has been paid for It In a purely
speculative way, the reaction was due.
But the first quotations were a start
ling disappointment to the bulls. From
iicarly every point came reports of
normal or even better crop reports.
Liverpool prices were down and the
shipments from Argentina, Australia
and other foreign countries were said
to be greater than usual at this time
of the year.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
Next Move Must Come From United
States, Said Toronto Delegate.
"It Is your move," Is the concise
phrase in which James A. McDonald
of Toronto expressed to the delegates
to the conference at Detroit on
Canadian trade relations the attitude

ment In this country for bettering
trade relations with our northern
neighbor.

mercial confidence Into which Canada
has come during theiie last dozen
years."

ONLY 11 GIRL'S WHIM
Disappearance That Puzzled
New York For Three Days.
Position 13-Year-Old Adele Boas Se
cured In Boston Was to Have
Brought Her $2.50 a Week With
Board and Lodging Spent Saturday
and Sunday In a Rented Room and
Monday Decided to Return Home.
Identified by Three Persons.
New York, April 27. The mxstery
surrounding the disappearance on Fri
day last of Adele Boas, the 13-year-old
daughter of Arthur E. Boas, a wealthy
thread manufacturer, resolves Itself
fnto a naive chlldlr.h escapade with no
other explanation than a sudden de
sire to see tho world, Boston In par
ticular, and a wish to be Independent
and work for a living.
But with a cut finger, dishevelled
clothes, and apparent fatigue Adele's
parents are sure that she realizes that,
there are pleasttnter experiences than
going forth alone to a strange city In
response to desire for adventure.
Yet aside from the natural reaction
that has set In she Is little the worse
for her wandering. Dr. August G.
Selbort, the Boas family physician,
spent half an hour with the girl and
announced afterward that she was In
perfect health. He said her trip was
merely the result of a childish whim.
"She Is growing," he said, "and she
was seized with one of those lnexplaln
able notions children have, and fol
lowed the fancy. She had been think
ing of going to Boston for some time.
For two weeks she had been saving
her money for the trip."
With the first shock of the meeting
with her parents over the child told
more of her movements In Boston.
The position she had In a restaurant
there was to have brought her $2.50
a week with board and lodging. She
worked only a few hours when she
cut her finger and was discharged.
Saturday night and Sunday she
spent In the room which she had
rented. Her money by this time was
exhausted, all but enough to get back
to New York, and yesterday she de
cided to return. She went to the
South station and was approached by
an elderly man.
"The police are looking all over for
you, Adele Boas," he said.
"My name Is not Boas," Bhe replied
defiantly and boarded the train for
New York, only to be Identified at
Stamford, Conn., after she had tried
In vain to dodge the persistent ques
tioners, even resorting to the ruse of
speaking broken English.
The first cluo to the missing girl
came when Mrs. E. M. Upton tele
phoned from Charlestown, Mass., and
said she hnd seen a girl answering the
description of Miss Boas while on a
train between Boston and New York.
Mrs. Upton did not make It plain to
the police whether the train was en
route to Boston or coming to New
York.
But with this to work on, the Boston
police were notified and later Mr.
Boas received a telephone message
from Adolph Helther, a Boston book
binder, who told of having seen a girl
answering the description of Adele
boarding a train for New York. This
started so much police machinery In
motion that it was Impossible for the
gill to pass unnoticed.

time of the vessel's arrival must be
sent to the United States public
stores.
Heretofore unclaimed baggage and
merchandise has been allowed to re

their knowledge of this fart, leaving
uncalled for the trunks they were try
ing to smuggle In and choosing the
first favorable opportunity to obtain
possession of them unmolested.

M. D. AFTER G0TCH S TITLE
Seattle Doctor Wants to Be World's
Wrestling Champion.
Kansas City, Mo., April 27. Benja
min Franklin Roller, M. D., the Seat
tle physician who uses his knowledge
of anatomy to help him find the weak
points of the men he meet In the
prize ring or on the wrestling mat,
will grapple In this city tonight with
Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of
the world.
Roller and Gotch are not Btrangers
to each other, having met In a bout In
Seattle a couple of years ago. Gotch
admits that the doctor gave him the
hardest fight of his long experience.
While sports generally do not think
that he can pin down Gotch, who has
had many more years of experience
and recently defeated Mahmout, the
Bulgarian, there will surely be lively
times when the two get together to
night. The men will wrestle for a puree of
$5,000, of which the winner Is to get
75 per cent. Holler, who is well fixed
financially, wanfs the championship
title more than he does the money.
