Dow n Constantinople, April 28.—The reign o f Abdul Hamid II ended by hiB de position and the accession o f his brother, Mehemmed Reehad Effendi, as Mehemmed V. The name is a varia tion of Mahomet, it being considered inappropriate to assume the precise name of the prophet. Mehemmed V is the thirty-fifth sov ereign of Turkey, in male descent of the house of Osman, the founder of the empire, and the twenty-ninth sul tan since the conquest of Constantino ple. The firing o f 101 guns announced to the waiting people that a new sultan had been proclaimed. The ceremonies connected with the transfer o f power were simple. The newly chosen ruler came from his pal ace in Galata through streets lined with troops and cheering thousands and took the oath at the war office. He then proceeded to the parliament and later went to the Dolma Bagtsche pal ace as head of the empire, where for so many years he had been practically a prisoner. Martial law was relaxed and the peo ple gave themselves over to the cele bration o f the victory o f the Young Turk party and the end of Abdul Ham id’s reign. Many buildings were illu minated and thousands of rounds were joyfully fired by the soldiers. General good humor prevailed everywhere. L IK E O N E R A IL R O A D .

How many thousands have been massa cred cannot even be estimated, because the disturbances have been so wide spread it is impossible to obtain de tails of the happenings. The latest estimate of the number killed in the vilayet of Adana reaches approximately 25,000, and thousands have been killed in the towns of out side districts. The state o f siege at several of the places has brought the inhabitants near starvation, and each day brings its tales o f further atrocities and the depths of misery and despair to which the savagery of the fanatics has brought the people. Several warships are now in these waters, but the disorders are so far- reaching that efforts of the powers to restore normal conditions have as yet hardly been felt. The cruiser Jules Ferry arrived today and left almost immediately for Latakia, where swarms of refugees are pouring in. British, French and German warships are at other ports, and marines have been landed to quell the disorders at the most important points. One of the missionaries at Alexan- dretta, Mr. Kennedy, with 450 Turkish troops, has gone to the relief of Deury- tel, an Armenian village on the coast, where 10,000 persons within the walls are besieged by immense bands of Kurds and Circassians.

"Y ou don't see this in the right light, but you will when you think it over. Meanwhile, you will do what I want— eh?" " I will tell Maude when you deem it necessary," returned the soft voice of his w ife: "but, Harold, I can't think it right; though you know best.” “ Y’ ou have not thought it over as I have. Do so, and you will change your mind,” said Denison, as he left his wife’s boudoir. Sadly mused the wife over her hus band’s communication. Quiet, undemon strative woman as she was, yet Eleanor Denison had been brought up from her cradle a thorough believer in the dogma of caste, and even her gentle nature rebelled at the idea that a daughter of hers should wed the son of a low-born attorney. We know her passionate idolatry of Maude, surpassing even a mother's love. It is easy to picture the bitter tears she shed after that morning's interview. She was a woman naturally given to weeping. No passionate storm of lamentation, but a gentle shower of mourning. As Harold Denison's wife she had had mani fold opportunities of practicing her voca tion, yet I doubt whet her he ever left salter tears running down her cheeks than lie did that bright spring afternoon. train Is lit through the precautions taken to prevent It. The doctrine of separation is in high favor among chaperones, but they often forget that when using it with a view to a contrary result. “ But you don't say anything about Mr. Pearman. M aude; did you like him?" "W ell, he was pleasant and amusing enough. I only had one quadrille with him. you know. But Gren scolded so about my dancing with him at a ll; and said he wasn't 'form ,' or 'bad form,' or something or other— meaning, in short, that I ought not to have stood up with him. I f he wasn't fit to be danced with, mother, why did they introduce him to me?" and Maude raised her pretty eye brows. as if she had propounded a regu lar poser. “ I see no reason In tho world. He is not one of the old county families, but his father is very rich, and he will take his place, ere many year» are over, in the county. It depends, of course, a good deal upon how he marries. Suppose he fancied you, now, Maude— we are very poor, you know— what would you »ay to it?” “ I !— Mother, dear, what makes you ask such a question? I'm sure I don’t know. Glinn is happy home enough for me at present. Rut 1 don't think, if I did mar ry, I should like there to be any doubt about my husband being a gentleman ; and they— that la, I mean Gren— didn’ t seem to think he was.” "Gren, my dear, is prejudiced. Young Mr. I’ earman has had an university edu cation, and though his fnther was a no body. he mixes, I’ tn told, with all the best people round.” "W ell, It don’t much m atter; I’ m never likely to be callod on to decide. I think I’d rather not, if it was so. But you don't mean to say, mother, you are try ing to fit me with a husband out o f my ball partnersl Oh, you scandalous match-making mamma !” — and Maude laughed merrily. “ But suppose I was, whom would you choose?” “ Oh, dear, none of them. I f It came to the worst, I should say I was engaged to Gren.” “ My dear M aude!” “ N o ; dear Maude never had the chance y e t ; he never asked her, and I don't think It at all likely he ever will. But I tell you what, mother, if I really was in such a quandary. I think I should ask him. I could tell him afterwards, you knew. It was only to got myself out of a scrape, and Gren’s been doing that for me always-------” “ Stop. Maude, and listen seriously to what I have to say to you : Mr. Pearman has asked in enrnest to be allowed to pay his addresses to you. Your father recommends you to think over it quietly and soberly. Beay in mind that we are very poor, and that he will be very rich.” "M r. Pearman wants to marry m e !” and the girl's face changed into a stare of blank astonishment; "why, I never saw him but once.” “ No, love; but it is true, for all that.” “ Well, mother, I can hardly believe it. On my word. I’ m obliged to Mr. Pearman. I presume he thinks girlp, like hothouse fruit, are a mere question of what you will give for them. Best let him know, mother mine, that your daughter is neith er to be wooed nor won in that fashion.” (T o be continued.) NTNE ELEPHANTS TO A MAN. H ave H ag M ade by H u n te r s In S o u th N in e n a tch A fr ic a . To secure a bag of elghty-one ele phants in these prosaic days will seem like a dreuni to most sportsmen, but the feat has Just been accomplished by J. W. Vlljoen nnd eight other Dutch farmers lu the Lomagundi district. The government has just thrown the district open for the destruction of elephants, and this enormous bag was made with in sixty miles of the capital of Rho desia, and near the railway. Vlljoen and Ills party pitched their camp at Maquadzlo, the center of the elephant district, nnd divided up Into pairs, a fact which nearly led to a fa tality, for going through the bush Vll joen encountered Ills first elephant, which he shot. As tills fell another one crushed through the trees at the hack of the hunter, and pursued him, once striking the horse with Ills trunk, until Vlljoen succeeded In reaching clearer ground, where he found himself thirty yards ahead of his pursuer. Slip ping off his horse, he fired at the ele phant and killed it. One Incident marred the sport, and that was the accidental shooting of a member of tlie party named Eloflf. Eloff nnd three companions pnlred off and walked a distance of about fifty yards apart, when Eloff nnd his friend sud denly saw two elephants. They fired, hut only succeeded in shooting off a tusk of one of the animals, who prompt ly charged them. Eloff made In the direction of the men in front of him, and they, seeing the beast crashing through the brush behind them and ignorant of Eloff's whereabouts, fired at the elephant, and while one bullet dispatched the elephant, the other found a billet in Eloff's neck, killing him Instantly. The party came back to the Trans vaal the richer for 2.000 pounds of Ivory and seven young elephants. The first one was captured when half grown. It was feeding with four grown ele phants, all of which were shot, and then the little one. Instead of running away, made for the hunters, two of whom seized its tail, while the two oth ers hung on to each ear. and there was a tussle for half an hour, after which the elephant was rolled on Its back nnd its feet tied with the horses’ rein«. It was then fastened to a tree, and the next flay driven Into camp. After a day or two it became so docile that fta attentions were rather a nuisance, for it tried to tread on the hunters' toes, helped Itself to all the available food, and would put Its trunk Into the cook ing pots and take out anything It fan cied. while It would follow the natives down to the stream for a drink. On the record day twenty elephants were shot and two little ones captured: Vlljoen’s unaided efforts accounted for eighteen of the twenty slain. These two elephants speedily became docile, and cow that all the captives ars In a proper kraal they have become quits acclimatized to their new surrounding» and are both playful and frlendly.- Rbodesla Herald Weekly.
