Bloodless Victory Is Won for
Young Turkey Element.
SCHEME OF 1876 REVIVED
W ild Scenes of Rejolslng Folow An-
nouncement of Glad Xews In
Disaffected Provinces of
European Turkey.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 24. Alarmed -by
the rapid spread of the revolutionary
sentiment throughout European Turkey,
the Sultan this morning issued an irade
granting a constitutional government for
Turkey. The Irade authorises the as
sembling of a Chamber of Deputies in
accordance with a constitution which has
been approved by th'e Sultan himself and
has been communicated to. the Valis and
District Lieutenant-Governors, with in
structions to hold elections in the manner
therein provided. The scheme which the
Irade makes operative is virtually the
one which was worked out In 1876 but
never allowed to become operative.
Grand Vizier Gives Notice.
The Grand Vizier immediately ad
dressed to all the provincial authorities
concerned a circular telegram conven
ing the Chamber of Deputies, In which
he pointed out that the method of
forming the Chamber is determined by
an organic statute which, according to
the official communication, is "an illus
trious institution of the Sultan."
The capitulation of the Sultan is the
result of the Young Turkey movement,
in which the leading spirits are young
men of the best families who have been
educated In France, Germany and other
European countries and who there im
bibed knowledge of the workings of con
stitutional government and a deep-rooted
dissatisfaction with the absolute despot
isms of the Orient.
Religion Plays a Part.
The question of religion also plays a
part in the movement. Although Mo
hammedanism is the official religion of
the country. Christians being denied citi
zenship and the right to hold office, there
is, nevertheless, a large Christian popu
lation, especially in the provinces where
the mixed races of Eastern Europe are
numerous. At the dictation of the Euro
pean powers the Sultan has for years
been accustomed to grant the Christians
concessions from time to time, with the
result that they have gained in wealth
and power.
W ill Repress Christians.
The young Turks, who are strict Mo
hammedans, have regarded this increase
of Christian influence with jealous eyes,
and one result of the victory of the re
formers probably will be to repress the
Christians.
Startling as was the sudden dis
missal of Ferld Pasha from the Grand
Vlziershlp and the appointment of Said
I'asha in his place, the step was noth
ing compared to the sensation created
in all quarters this morning by the
official announcement that the Sultan
had decided to convoke a Parliament.
Change Was Inevitable.
. It was felt that in view of the gen
eral revolt in the army, unprecedented
in the history of the Turkish Empire,,
some change was inevitable and that
far-reaching measures of reform in
the central government were bound to
be inaugurated. But the drastic action
of the Sultan, who took the reins into
his own hands, and by the stroke of a
pen suddenly yielded to the demands
of the Young Turks and restored the
constitution of 187S has taken the pal
ace clique, the members of the diplo
matic, corps and in fact the entire pop
ulation of Constantinople completely
by surprise. Although it was thought
that the long-sustained agitation might
possibly bring about some form of
parliamentary administration, nothing
so dramatically abrupt was considered
possible.
Come Like Thunderbolt.
The immediate cause of the Sultan's
raising of the white flag was the re
ceipt of a telegram addressed to him
from the Albanians of I'skub, Inform
ing him that .they had taken their oath
to fa .-or the re-establishment of the
constitution. The message landed like
a thunderbolt at the Yildiz Kiosk. The
Sultan had been under the impression
that he could depend upon the Alban
ians under all circumstances. Ferld
Pasha, who is an Albanian, had fos
tered this conceit. When the facts be
came known, the wrath of the Sul
tan immediately fell upon his favorite,
who was summoned to the palace and
dismissed on the spot. The former
Grand Vizier, Said Pasha, was then
summoned to the palace.
Gives Sultan All Facts.
He gave the Sultan an insight Into the
real gravity of the situation and the
hopelessness of attempting to restore
permanent peace in the army and
among the people unless the personal
regime, with its attendant abuses and
Intrigues, which had brought the coun
try to the verge of ruin, came to an
end and some steps were taken in
the direction of granting a measure of
constitutional government. The atti
tude of the Albanians had so discon
certed the Sultan that Said Pasha
found him in a mood to make con
cessions, and the pressure exerted by
other men who had been long absent
from the councils at the palace com
pleted the conversion which resulted
In the historic trade of today.

Dorando Hero of Day.
It will not snatch any laurels from th
brow of Hayes, who won a good race, to
say that the hero of the day was the
Italian, Dorando. The admiration and
sympathy of every person in the stadium
went out to the gallant Italian who, al
though he did not win, deserved to win
and did more within the limit of his
power than any other man who ran.
The crisis in a battle on which the life
of a nation hung could hardly have been
more impressive than Dorando's entrance
into the stadium. Ten minutes before
the megaphone announced. "The run
ners are in sight," guns had proclaimed
the arrival of the leaders at the nearest
station of the course; an Intense silence
overhung the stadium, while thousands
awaited breathlessly the approach of the
first man.
First Runner Delirious.
For ten minutes all eyes were focused
on the gate, almost directly opposite the
royal stand, where the contestants
were to enter. Finally, after what seemed
to be an intolerable suspense, a runner
staggered down the incline leading to the
track. He was clothed In a white shirt
and red knee-pants. He stood for a mo
ment as though dazed, and then turned
to the left, although a red cord had been
drawn about the track in the opposite di
rection for the runners to follow. It was
evident also to everyone that the man
was practically delirious. A squad of
officials ran out and expostulated with
him, but apparently he was afraid that
they were trying to deceive him and
fought to go on to the left. At length he
turned back and started in the right path
along the track. Then followed an ex
hibition never to be forgotten by those
who witnessed it.
The colors and number told the spec
tators that it was Dorando, and his name
was on every lip. He staggered along
the cinder path like a man in a dream,
his gait being neither a walk nor a run.
but simply a flounder, arms shaking and
legs tottering. By devious ways he went
on. People had lost thought of his na
tionality, and partisanship was forgot
ten. They rose in their seats and saw
the man clad in red pants tottering on
ward, with his head so lowly bent for
ward that the chin rested on his. chest.
They knew nothing about him, as he had
not been mentioned .among the probable
winners, but they recognized that his
struggle must have been terrific to bring
him thus right to the threshold of vic
tory, . Falls Often, but Staggers On.
Dorando staggered on toward the turn
and dropped to the ground. Immediately
a crowd of track officials and followers
swarmed about him. It was evident that
the man. with undaunted courage, had
run himself to the very limit of endur
ance. None expected to see him rise, for
haggard and drawn, he had fallen like a
good soldier, when the last bit of vitality
was exhausted.
According to the rules of the race, phy
sicians should have taken him. but the

race. They have forgotten all the troubles

of triumph.
"Wasn't it great?" paid Manager Hal
pin, who continued. "We not only won
the big race of the Olympic games, but
also got third, fourth and ninth places.
ORIGIN OF MARATHON RACE.
It was to commemorate the feat of
the young warrior who carried to
Athens the first news of the great
victory of the Athenians and Pla
taeans over, the Persians on the plain
of Marathon, 400 B. C, that the
great Marathon race wae inserted in
the list of the ancient Olympic games.
The legend, which Is still handed
down from, generation to generation
In Greece, Is that, after the Greeks
had swept the field, their first thought
wai to get the glorious news to those
waiting at home. They sought a fleet
courier and found him in a young
warrior who had fought all day and
wae even then on the verge of ex
haustion. Stripping off only his heavier ar
mor, the young man ran at top speed
"to Athene, making but one brief stop
for refreshment and, dashing Into the
market place, turned to the assembled
multitude with ' the cry "Victory,"
then dropped dead.
The distance now agreed upon for
the course is 26 miles and 885 yards.
and what is more, our Indian beat the
much-lauded Canadian Indian, Long
boat. Well, we can't forget what has
gone before, although we will always feel
that we have been unfairly treated."
How Hayes Won Race.
Hayes, the man who carried off the
race for America, naturally was very
tired tonight, but he gave no signs of
any ill effects from his long run. Hayes
ran a careful race. He was satisfied to
go along slowly until he had covered 19
miles, and then pushed into third place,
keeping behind Hefferon until his oppor
tunity came on the long level at Worm
wood Scrubbs, after a hard climb up hill.
When Dorando, Hefferon and Hayes
reached the scrubbs, Dorando was three
and a half minutes ahead of Hefferon,
who in turn was two and a half minutes
ahead of Hayes. Both the Italian and
the South African were limping badly,
while Hayes was comparatively fresh
and still strong.
When the American reached the lenrel
of the scrubbs. through which the run
ners made their way along cowpathe,
he could see the two leaders only a short
distance ahead of him, and he felt cer
tain from their gait that they were
about to run out. He therefore in
creased his speed and before he was
through the scrubbs he had overtaken
the South African and had made a con
siderable gain on Dorando. The times
taken at the finish show how well Hayes
succeeded in making up the distance, for.
despite the assistance given the Italian,
the American in the mile and a half dis
tance from the scrubbs to the stadium
decreased the Italian's lead from about
six minutes to less than a minute, and
he was strong, while his opponent was
completely undone.
Forshaw's Story of Race.
Forshaw, the American, - who was but
four seconds and a fraction behind Hef
feron, was walking about as fresh as
ever soon after finishing. He, of all the
men in the race, has a clearer idea of
what happened than any one else. He
said to the Associated Press tonight:
My instructions were to keep Tewanlna
with me and. If I weakened, to .send
Tewanlna along to win the race If he could
do so. I held back until about 11 miles
from the finish, nursing Tewanlna along.
who was suffering from, bad kneei. We
passed men time after time, Duncan, the
Englishman, who was expected to win the
race, being left behind at li ridge, Tewanlna,
when he saw Duncan ahead, went up to
tire him out, which, I have heard since, he
succeeded in doing. Hatch pamed me once,
but I overtook him again. Hayes at tho
time was well to the front, hanging to the
heels of Dorando I never caught up with
either him or Hefferon.
After we had run 21 miles Tewanlna
showed signs of weakening. Then I pulled
out and passed Simpson, the Canadian In
dian, Tewanlna doing likewise. We ran fast,
too fast. In fact, with a view to taking the
heart out of the Canadian, and If It had not
been for this spurt I believe I could have
overtaken Hefferon and won second place.
We followed the plan adopted at previous
Marathon races, eating a good breakfast of
steak, following this with two raw eggs
with some tea and toast. On the way we
took nothing but water.

BRILLIANT SCENE AT START
Runners Line Up at Windsor Swed

WINDSOR, July 24. The starting of
the Marathon race, 26 miles and 385
yards to the stadium, the most Interest
ing; event of all the Olympic games,
from the east terrace of Windsor Cas
tle, was a beautiful scene, which will
be memorable In the annals of sport.
Runners from many nations assem
bled under the gigantic oak at the top
of the broad emerald lawn, which slopes
to the eastward with the towering gray
battlements of the castle for a back
ground. The roads were in perfect
condition, watering carts and roller
brushes having been busy for many
hours along the entire course to rid
the highway of dust. Every cottage
fronting the course had hung out flafs.
The tropical sun was considered pre
judicial to the performers who are not
accustomed to such heat. The green
slopes beneath the walls of Windsor
tors oy tne ivins s oraer ana. ine lawns
were packed as the runner assembled
on the east terrace.
The Crown Prince of Sweden was
present with a party of the royal
family. Including several ladles. Sol
diers of the Coldstream Guards. In their
scarlet coats, castle attendants, Eton
schoolboys in their silk hats and .black
coats and many members of the eastle
staff, with their families, lined the
graveled driveways.
The runners were lined in four rows
across the road. There were four Can
adians and four Americans among the
first In line. It was a decorous gather
ing of spectators. When the Crown
Prince of Sweden fired the starting
pistol and the group of athletes sprang
forward, only a faint clapping of bands
applauded the beginning of the great
event.
The 55 picked runners of the world
swept in close formation rapidly down
before the east front of the castle and
through the castle gates into the streets
of the town. Most of them were bare
headed and all were clad in white, ex

from gallstones, cheer up. You may
not know it, but you have riches in
your midst. The cheering word comes
from far-away Japan that gallstones,
so shunned by Americans, possess great
value in the Mikado's land when they
can be purchased In the market. If you
have gallstones, let them fully develop,
undergo an operation, and insist that
your surgeon, turn over to you, every,
stone he extracts, and, when you are-,
able, ship them to Japan. In due course
you will get your return In gold. - t

discussing his new discovery and
pointing the way to the formation"of a
gallstone trust. Consul Miller, In a re

classified on the market, to distinguish
their origin, as Oriental and Occident-'

though the latter also finds a ready
Bale at a slightly lower figure.

cording to its quality, size and color.
The larger the size and brighter the
color, the greater the market value.
Broken or cracked stones are , only
worth half as much as perfect ones.

gold, a pound avoirdupois. From this
figure the price runs up, according to
quality.
"A small lot, if properly packed, can
be sent by parcels post. To Insure safe
arrival, each stone should be separately
wrapped in cotton wool and packed
neither loosely nor tightly, but firmly
in a substantial wooden or tin box. A
convenient-sized box, we find, runs
about 2x3x5 Inches. Insurance ought
to be effected at the time of shipment,
