IteportB from Belgrade of a Turkish revolution anu of the sultan's abdication cannot be confirmed in diplomatic circles hero. Offlcials just arrived from Turkey say tliore Is doubt if a revolutionary movement is so far advanced, though they believe such a step cannot be long delayed. There is no question among the of ficials but that an unsatisfactory state of affairs exists, but on account of the rigid censorship enforced by tho sultan, little real news is permitted to roach the outside world.

Bradley re turned from Heppner .hlsmornlng jandbrlng-wfur'thenY the list of the fatalities in the Swaggart family. Mrs. C. L. Andrews and her three children, Mabel aged 12, Vashtl aged 9, and Clara aged 4 were drowned. Mrs. It. L. Beard and her two child ren, James aged 4 and Webber, aged 15 months were lost. These ladles are the daughters ot Mrs. George W. Swaggart. Mrs. Swaggart and her son, George Wilbur Swaggart, start ed for a visit in the East on the Sat urday before the disaster and were therefore saved. Mr, Swaggart was at his place of business at the time of the flood and started to tno rescue of his family, but was met by tho water and driven back and could not leach them. Mr. Kemp left Heppner yesterday nt 10 o'clock nnd at that time there had been 150 bodies taken out of tho drift. Two hundred men had come Into the city from Portland and were nt work in tho city at the tlmo that tho party left. The drirt had all been cleaned In the confines of the city proper nt this time. That is. It has all been worked over and the bodies of the people nnd the animals have been taken out nnd cared for. , The wreckage has been piled and Is being burned as fast as the work can be done. The stench from the bodies of the dead animals is beginning to be noticed, and the carcasses aro bo ing cremated as fast as they can be extricated from the debris and piled In a heap. The bodies are covered with tho broken houses and other debris and all Is burned at once. At the time the party left the town the workers had covered about three miles of the drift down the creek bed towards Lexington. There aro sev eral miles of this to be cleared, nnd It is as bad as In the city. It Is piled high along the course of the flood and is full of tho carcasses of animals, with here and there a human being. While Mr. Kemp was hitching up at the stable there were four bodies carried pa3t that had been taken out of the lower drift. In this work the men from the town are employed, as they aro better able to. recognize tho people taken out and are naturally more interested In that work than they would be in nny other part of the labor, The report that there had been men shot for looting Mr. Kemp thinks Is a mistake, for the men there aro all very orderly and are Interested In doing all that can he done for the people. There are a lot of men thern who are quick to see large things out of small happennings. and the guards have a hard time to prevent hasty n communion of jsk from tho em ployes of the Peoples Wnrehoufe.
