Constantinople. July 22. 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.

the only woman In the world who
has been dead and brought back to
life. The other day she died, to all
appearances. Her heart ceased
beating and she did not breathe, re

an hour and a half. Then the ap

she has much to tell about what she
saw in the other world.

Wbltny Ia Boise, accused of the em-
beizlement of more than $6,000 from
the Hawthorne estate under five differ
ent complaints, appeared In the munici
pal court this morning with his attor
ney, M. L. Pipes, and waived prelimi
nary hearing. 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.
