Against the advice of his councillors, Sultan Abdul Hamid today decided to grant a con stitution to the people of Turkey. This la understood to be the only means Of checking- the Macedonian revolt, which has spread until It has affected the whole northern portion of the Turkish empire. The sultan Is said to fear the inter vention of Russia and France, which -was decided upon Tuesday at, St. Peters bare, arisen iiaaaiia'' It "is reported that when the sultan's councillors made objections to the f ranting of the constitution, Abdul iamld replied: "It will bo easy to annul the con stitution when order In restored." Abdul Ilamld held the consultation with his councillors early today and It is reported that the session at the Imperial palace was stormy. The sultan's councillors pointed out that Turkey holds the only remaining despotism In northern Caucausus and that the sultan should put forth a strong effort to maintain this form of government and thus give moral sup port to tho shah's fight In Persia. Abdul Hamid. who la 111 and peevish. Is said to have flown Into a rage and asserted that Russia and France were planning to Interfere in Macedonia. He said that he feared also England's at titude and did not want to risk a gen eral war that would worry his old age and deplete his coffers. A note from Germany, discouraging Turkey's overtures for an alliance with the kaiser. Is said to have been re sponsible for the decision of the Sultan. It is said that Emperor William wants an alliance with the sultan, but is afraid of an open treaty with the "bloody Turk." The sultan counted on Germany's aid to repel the advances of Russia In Macedonia and the n caused him the keenest disappointment. It Is understood that the sultan Is sued orders today to his general, DJevet Bey, to cease his operations on the Turko-Perslan border and to use all attempts to pacify the people. Abdul Hamid Is convinced that he has not long to live, and wants to pass the remainder of his days In peace. He has announced his intention of ap pointing his third son, Mohammed Burhan-Ed-Dln successor to the throne, although this Is contrary to all prece dent. The sultan's rightful successors are hta three brothers, In order, according to the tenets of the Turkish custom, which dictates that the throne shall descend to the male descendents of the Imperial harem of Othman, the founder of the empire.

Ho was bound over to appear before the next grand Jury In September, his bond being fixed at the same amount, 120.000. which was fur nished by the same bondsmen who had appeared as his sureties when he was first arrested on Saturday last. The action taken this morning will put the case Into a state of suspended animation until the grand Jury meets, as there can be no further legal steps taken by either side, unless it be the filing nf additional romplartitn. until the affair Is taken up for Investigation by the grand Jury. When Mr Boise was taken Into court on Monday the preliminary hearing was j set lor next i uesoay. it was decided to hold a conference today to determine whether the examination would be on one complaint or all five would be merged Into the one hearing The court action of this morning, however, set aside the need for such a confrenee. as It doe awnv with the preliminary hearing and consequently there will be no sppearance until after the grand 1ury finishes lt investigation In the event of a true Ml! or a .number of true bills being returned against the defendant, the case will then go diriw-t to the circuit court on Indictment for trial. It can then be determined wheth er the trial will be on one charre alone or oo all of them merged Into one. July 23d!
