  I !s!?!!M!?§-!j w. SULTAN OF TURKEY FALLEN ABDUL A PRISONER*. Successor's Message to Europe Abdul Hamid has at last been dethroned, and his brother, Reshad Effendi, is now Sultan of Turkey. Abdul Hamid has been removed a pri- soner to the Bovler Bey Palace on the Asiatic shore of the Bos ph or us. It is reported that no doubt ia. enter- tained, but that the newly-elected Sultan will be recognised by the Powers. In a message to Europe Mo-hammed Reshad Effendi says he has ever been a convinced and ardent supporter of the cause of enlightenment, liberty, and pro- gress, and he would act justly and honour- ably to all men. SULTAN DETHRONED. I Accession of Reshad Effendi I CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday. Salvos of artillery at half-past two arnounced to the expectant population the dethronement of Abdul Hamid and the accession of Reshad Effendi. Immediately the whole town Tras beflagged, and general jubilation prevailed. At four o'clock this afternoon the new Sul- tan proceeded to ktambul by water amid renewed artillery salutes. Military honours were accorded at every point, and the new Sovereign was greeted with loud acclama- tions by the people.—Renter. SALONIKA. Tuesday. Great rejoicing took place here to-day on receipt of the news that Abdul Hamid's brother had been proclaimed Sultan under the name of Moliammed V.-B-euter. Enthusiastic Scenes I CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday (8.0 p.m.). The scene in the War Office to-day, when the new Sultan, Mahom.med V., took the oath to be faithful to the Constitution, was most impressive. On his arrival Prince Rechad Effendi wa-s conducted to the grand staircase, where he received the entire Cabinet. He was then ush-ered into Lhe great hall, in which w.&re assembled the represen- tatives of the nation a.nd the State digni- taries, civil, military, and ecclesiastic. Here the formula of the oath was presented to the Prirnoe, but before it was administered he expressed a wi.h to periorm his ablutions and prayers. After retiring for a few minutes into an adjoining apartment, he returned to the hall at 3.50, and solemnly subscribed to the oath administered by the Sheikh ul Islam. A moliah then offered up prayers for the new Sultan and the proerperity of the nation, all present responding, Amen." The guns outside the War Office and those of the other batteries in the town immediately communi- cated the accession of the new Sultan to the population by firing salutes of 101 guns. While the cannon were thundering Mohammed V. received the congratulations of those present. From the War Jffice the Sultan proceeded to the Topkapu Palace in order to venerate the relics of the Prop-bet and say prayers, Be then returned, accompanied by Sliazi Mukht-ar Pasha, by way of the Galata Bridge to the Dolma Bagth-tche Pal-ace, where he has taken up Lis residence. His Majesty was enthusiastically cheered all along the route by great crowds, composed of all elements of t'e to which he graciously responded by repeated salutes. Carried away by enthusiasm, the troops began firing- their riiies in the air, but this t,he officers promptly stopped. Enver Bey, who followed in the profession, was recog- n,ised, and received a tremendous ovation from the crowd. There was no possibility of mistaking the universal character of sincerity of the rejoicings and the general relief at the end of the baneful Ha.midieh regime. Picture postcards of the new Sultan appeared like magio in the streets and found an enormous sale. There was also a great I display of bunting, and most of the ships in the harbour were dressed. According to additional particulars which I have received concerning1 to-day's historic eecret sitting of the National Assembly, it appears that numerous telegrams from the provinces were read demanding the abdica- tion of Abdul Hamid, the lied Sultan, as being' unworthy to reign. These telegrams were approved by the Assembly. Sena.tor &hazi Mukhtar Pasha declared that the Assembly should act in strict conformity with the laws and the Sherlat. P'rinoe Rech-ad in subeequently receiving: a deputation of the Assembly said, "I am very pleased to become the first Constitutional Sovereign. Doubtless, my successor will improve upon me, but you may rely on my doing* my best. I also have (suffered oppres- sion, and I can, therefore, enter into the fteliags of my f e 1 low-sufferers. Let us endeavour to wcxrk together for the welfare of the country." W-hen the other deputation from the Assembly arrived wt Yildiz Kiosk it handed the Fetwa sanctioning' the deposition of Abdul Hamid to the First Secretary, Djevad Bey. for communication to the Saltaai. who was in an inner apartment guarded by fifteen eunuchs. Dievad Bey attempted to gain admittance by knocking at the entrance, but was obliged to wait for a quarter of an hour. When finally the door was opened, his Majesty appour,d, aqid accepted the Fetwa. The deputation was then ushered into his p-revewe, and addressed him in the second peris.o-n, singular, with the words, "You no longer reign over us." Abdul llamid, after replying that he bowed to his fate and wished to be allowed to spend the remairi,&,a- of his life in the Palace where he was born, gave a 8i,g.h oi relied oiL being aasiured by the deputa- tion that no designs were entertained on his We.-P-rc,% Astsociatioin Foreign Special. Pen Portrait of New Sultan Mr. M. H. IkMiohoe, the special correspon- dent of the "Daily Chronicle," in describing tihe new Sultan, says:- Mohammed, who has now been called upoa to xeign over the himipire, is not ■unpreijoaeesaiug m appeaa^anee. He would be better looking if he had less flesh about the iace, which gives ham a bloated app-earauce. It is a mark of good living and want of physical exercise. He was dressed in European fashion. He wore an unnsuadly heavy frock-coat, tightly buttoned round the bulky form, and heavy enough to serve most men as an overcoat. His trousers were of modern cut, of a dark plaid material which was fashionable fifteen years ago. In ganeral appearance I was struck by the remarkable likeness he bears to Abdul Hamid. Like t.he ex-Sulta,n, his lips are thick lund slightly protruding, and he has that curve of the nose which is so prominent it the case of Abdul. On his head is worn a xed fez. Although 64, he wears his age well. His hair is untinged with grey, but his mous- tache shows signs of the ravages of time. Sultan's Message to Europe In the course of an interview with the special correspondent of the Daily Chronicle," Mohammed Reshad Effendi said: I beg you to be the envoy for the deliver- ance of a mess,ag.e whioh I would send to Ertiirope and the entire world, and which is the first of its kind ever sent out from within these walls. Say, then, that I have ever been a convinced and ardent supporter of the cause of enlightenment, liberty, and progress?. If it be the will of Allah that I should mourt t-he Ottoman throne I shall enter upon asn important office fully realising t- duties and responsibilities, fully conscious d the heavy burden which will fall on any shoulders. But by the help of Allah, t,he Most High, I sihall follow unswervingly the path of duty, seeking to act justly and honourably to all me-n, be they giaours or true believers. My voice has been silent 33 years, but the voioe of has never been stalled. You ask me what I think of the situation of modern Turkey as I find it to-day after my political resuscitation of long years. I will tell you. Though shut up here, I have tried, feebly perhaps, to keep touch with the march o<f progress outside the world. A few paxtieans who have been Joyal to me through the dark days of adversity are aware that from the earliest years, while faithful to the precepts and teaching of the Koran, I have be^n a.n advoca-te for a Constitutional oha/rter and Parliamentary institutions. From this opinion I never have deviated. I hold it to-day as strongly as I did when a young man seeking to imbibe the know- ledge of Western civilisation and methods. I am a firm supporter of the policy of Young Turkey. With the full enjoyment of political freedom I see nothing incompatible with Mohammedan sacred law." The "Lekalanzeiger" to-day publishes a lengthy st,atement made to its Constanti- nople correspondent by the new Sultan, in the course of which he says: "I have always lived in the hope of & Constitution, and I shall remain its faithful servant. The Con- stitution is the salvation of the State and of the people. I am a friemd of the Powers, and I hope that Turkey will have relations of friendship and affection with them all, especially with myoid and kind friend, Germany."—Central News. "IT IS FATE." j CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday (8.0 p.m.). A secret sitting of the National Assembly was held this morning, when a Fetva issued by the Sheikh ul Islam was read in reply to the question whethe-r a person guilty of tampering with the sacred writings and responsible for the shedding of the blood of iuinoceints could retain the honours of the Caiiphate." The Fetva returns a negative, and states that he must either be dethroned or abdicate. The Assembly, without hesita- tic-D, immediately shouted "Dethrone him; dethrone him." A deputation, composed of two Senators aud two Deputies, proceeded to Yildiz to communicate the resolution of the Assembly to Abdul Hamid, who said: "I expected this. It is fate. My only wish is that the lives of myself and my family may be safeguarded, and that I may reside in the Tobiraghan Palace, as I wish to die where I was born." Another deputation of like composition proceeded to the residence of the Heir- Ap<parent Res-had. CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday.

Abdul's Despair. wnen ine maceuonian trooips euuerea tne Yildiz Kioak, the Sultan, who had received warnings of their approach, hid himself in the harem, where of his mi-morons suite only a few favourite slaves accompanied him. The troops, as they poured into the Yildiz Kiosk, arrested every person they met, but the Sult.an was not to be found. They reached the entrance to the Snlt-aui's harem, and summoned the Sultan to appear, and three times did the Sultan refuse the request At last, tired of waiting, the troops entered the harem and rushed from room to room, bursting open the doors that uiarred their way, and in the last chamber of the harem the iSuiltan was found lyinig unconscious on the floor. The soldiers seized him, conveyed him from the Palace, placed him im a car- riage and took him to the Oheragaai Palaoe on the shore of the Bosphoms. The troupis who enteitd Yildiz Kioek were accompanied by two officers delegated by the Commander-in-Chief, two senators, and two deputies. The Sultan was dragged from the room where he had ta-ken refugre, and taken to the six personages. On seeing t-hean (says the "Daily Telegraph") he turned pale with fear, trembled, and cried in terror. "Why do you want my life?" There wa.s no reply. Still trembling, Abdul Hamid procep",ed: "I have reigned for thirty-three years; but I have done ill to nobouy. Why do you want my life?" No reply was vouchsafed. The Sultan oontil lied: "I made war with Grecce. Why do you want my life? • •" The six delegates remained eileint, For thirty years I treated my -brother Mahmoud well. Any other Sultan would have had iiim killed. So why do you want my life?" After a short pauee, Alxkil Hamad, tremb- ling more than ever, whined pitifully: "Only let me live; I will do a.11 that you wish." There was no reply. Another pause, longer and roc-re lugubrious tha.n the other. The Sultan, pale aa a spectre, sank on to a divan. Tihen he tottered to his feet and said: "Take me to the Palaoe of Cheragan, with my family. I was born there; tiiere let me die."

Traveller and Wife I NEWPORT WOMAN'S SAD STORY I At Newport Police-court to-day Ralph Lowery, described as a commission agent, now of Blenheim-road (off Chepstow-road) I was summoned for persistent cruelty to his wife, Jessie Lowery, who asked for a sepa- ration order. Mr. F. H. D?auneey Ripp?red for the applicant, and, in answer to a sugge'S-1 tion from the bench, aid there was not the slightest chance of matters being made up. Defendant did not appear, and it was stated that he had no intent-ion of appearing-. The bench had no power to compel him, as to is was in the nature of a civil fcuit. Mrs. Lowery, who gave er evidence in a very quiet and subdued voice, said they were married a,t York on October 29, 1De-9, and came to Newport in 1890. For a time they lived in Caerlecn-road, and afterwards for many years in Leicester-road. Up till a little while .0 defendant represented a large wholesale provision house at Cardiff, but then began selling on commission. About i two years ago he got into financial difficr.l- ties, and then took to drink. From that time on he constant ly ill-treated her. A week before last Christinas he banged her about mth his fists, and at, midnight tamed her out of the house and threw one of her boxes out after her. She walked about in the streets till three o'clock in the morning. On December 26 he did a similar thing, though earlier in the night. During1 Ja-nuary and February he again ill-treated her, and striking her head against the wall out it open. During the la,st two months lie began to sell up the furniture, and she had to go "03.1JÜ'tthcr house in Blenheim-road.

Mr. Dauncey: No, the daughter is over the age, and the boy has always been in the custody of his father. Stafford Lowery, the daughter, •who said she was not out earning her own living, corroborated as to the deioiKlant using violence to her mother. The Bench made an order of separation, and directed defendant to pay £ 1 per week maintenance, the ooets of the case, a-nd two I guineas towards the applicants solicitors Ice.

S. Windell." Immediately after the arrest the two officials proceeded, in com- pany with Inspector Bower, to the Spanish capital, and in a. telegram, received in Lon- don yesterday, it was stated that they posi- tively identified the man, who stJill main- tains, however, that he has no knowledge wihatever of the fraud. On the evidence of the bank officials, steps will now be taken to secure his extradition.

j MINISTERS RAIDEDI COLLARED BY SUFFRAGETTES Amusing Street Scenes. Two sa?pa?jsts. ?t;.? May Drew amd Mrs. Hay, to-day po&t?d themselves in ??it?I?aU Gardens to await the conclusion of the meet- ing of the S'b-Oommitteie on Naval Defence. Mr. Asquith, Lord Morley, Sir Edward Grey, and the Earl of Crewe left together. Miss Drew met Lord Mo-rley and spoke to him, while Mrs. Hay turned her attention to Sir Edward Grey. Each Minister treated the ladies most cour- teously and inquired what they wanted. They began -to speak on the subject D- women's suffrage, and. with a MtrUe. Lord Morley said, "You had batter a-ddrees your question to the Prime Minister. Forthwith the two ladies spoke to. Mr. A-squith and the Earl of Crewe, who were perfectly courteous. The Prime Minister walked bris-Wy towar-ds Dewning-t'treet, and wi'th the two ladies, one on each side of him, chatted and laughed puite freely with them, but did not attempt to answer their arguments. When- Mr. I Asquith's official resilience was reached the Prime Minister said, "Good-bye."

I Alleged Elopement. I I "i t I I SEQUEL TO LLANELLY CASE. I The sequel to the alleged Llanelly elope- ment wus heard at th" local police-court to. day, when George Roberts, who is said to have gone away with Mrs. Oollwyn Morgan and hOT six children, was charged with larceny. Mr. T. R. Dudford appeared for t.he prosecution, and Mr. Hayton Williams for the defendant. i Ludford explained that when Mr. Collwyn Morgan was in London a few weeks a-go giving evidence for the Llanelly Water Bill, the prisoner and M.ns. Morgan arranged to go away together. 'When they went away they took some property with them, includ- ing a gold ring, sewing machine, and C30 it money. The warrant for the prisoner's arrest was executed after a great deal of difficulty in London a few days ago. The warrant for Mrs. Morgan's arre-st had not yet been executed on account of her state of health, but she was being kept under observation. He, therefore, applied for a remand for a week. Sergeant Br it: on deposed that he took tbo prisoner into custody from the Metropolitan police yesterday, and charged him, his reply feci n-g, "I will say nothing until I see my solicitor. Mr. Williams raised the question of allow- ing bail. The oircumstancee, he said, were not so bad as had be-f-n sought to make out. The charge against Roberts was absolutely unfounded, and he did not think it could be sustained. It was a well-known fact that a cheque was cashed for £30, but on what I grounds the prosecution could say that Roberts had the money he did not know. The Bench granted bail in the sum of L30, and a remand was granted for a week.

CITY BOUNDARIES AMBITIOUS EXTENSION PLAN Another joint report, the main poinite of wlreli wve anticipated in the special article on this subject, which aipipeaired in the "Evening Express" this day week, has been prepared for Cardiff Corporation officials on the proposed extension of the city bou:rl'd.a.Mr:3. Ey the scheme, it is proposed to embrace Penarth, Leckwith, Llandaff, Whitchurch, I..ia njoohen, lJÏ\"a.ne, and ,Ll,a,nd«'U.g1l. Statistics are given in great detail showing the popu- lation of each of the pairKhes named, together with the miloo.goe of public highways, amd the rates payable a.t the present time. Backed on the 1901 census, Penart,h and Leckwith have a .population of 16,000, and 28 £ miles of public highway^; LI an da ff—5,777 population and 23 miles of highways; Whitchurch—4,865 population and ZOJ miles of highways; Lianiahen—1,212 population a.nd seventeen miles of highways; Lisvane—256 population and eight miles of highways; and Llan do u gli—1,504 population. The total rateable value of the several parishes amounts to £ 11,020, and t-he rates paid for the year ending March, 1909, amounted to £ 3,157. In the event of the extension scheme being carried through it will become incumbent np:1 Cardiff to bear the heavy cost of improving the sanitation of each of the parishes and carrying out several other extensive and expensive improvements. Tha scheme, if embodi'ed in a Parliamen- tary Bill, is certain tv meat with the most strenuous opposition from a number of quarters, especially from the local autho- I rities which such a Bill would affect.

Five Sudden Deaths. I REMARKABLE POISON, TRIAL. I An extraordinary poison trial opened at i the V-aucluse Assizes yesterday. The accused ie a young married woman, named Marie Guerin, who is alleged to ha.ve poisoned all her near relatives in order that she might get possession of the family fortune. The first to die was the acou&ed's grand- father, &4 years of age. On account of his great age his death, which took place in September, 1905, did not excite suspicion. But in the November following Marie Guerin's own father, a robust man of 59, died after a short illness. The next to die under mysterious circuniistanocs was the prisoner's aunt. Her death took place in Feibruary, 1906. and was followed eight months later by the demise of the last survivor of the family —A uiruste Ange. AU these deaths took place in less than two years. The inhabitants of the village of LauirifS-srir-Dur-ance dkeusHed these sudden deaths, and suspicion fell on Marie Guerin, wh-c lived with her husband at the neigh- bouring district. It was alleged that the deaths of her relatives coincided with her visits to them. An inquiry was instituted. It lasted six- teen months. Finally, it was decided to exhume the bodies. As the result of a post- mortem examination doctors found that the intestines contained arsenic. After this dis- covery Marie Guerin was arrested. Neighbours began to speak openly about the young woman. They decla.red that She was a Coquette 'and Very Vain. They said it was her ambition to "act the lady" in her village, and to enable her t-o do so had conceived the plan 0If getting rid of her relatives so tha.t she could do big things with their money. In point of fact, after the death of her relatives Marie Guerin became possessed of £ 1,200. After she received the money she and her husband went to reside at the village ckf the Isle. There, it is alleged of her, she played the coquette, and ensn,a,red the son of Mme. Sylvestre, a widow. The latter admonished her son. A few days later she died from a malady which the doctors could not dia-gnose. Again tongues began to wag. It was-alleged that Marie Guerin had takon revenge on the widow. Mme. Sylvestre's body was exhumed, and a post-mortem examination revealed the presenog in the intestines of a strong dose .of arsenic. Marie Guerin is also suspected of this crime. Her trial is expected to last five days. She is a very intelligent woman, and will defend herself with energy.

The Escaped Convict HOT PURSUIT WITH BLOODHOUNDS. The Press Association Winchester ct..rre- spondent telegraphs that another rlight of fruitless search for the escaped convict, Witer, has passed. This morning comes informatkni which has caused the police to direct attention to the neighbouring county of Wiltshire, and cyclist police are leaving in large numbers for Andover, on the Wilt- shire side, two more burglaries having been committed during the night near that town. It is several miles from Mdeheldevex, where the burglary was committed on Monday night, but is in the same westward track. The Press Association Andover correspon- dent telegraphs that the Haaite police, in mototre and on cycles, are in hot pursuit of Witer. At dawn motors, containing Major Warde, chief-constable, and Major Richard- &on, with bloodhounds, rushed off to Conholt Park, the residence of MlI". Wigan, where the convict wm reported to have been seen, but this alarm was probably a false one, as very early this mairning a burglary was committed a.t LeCkford, the residence of Colonel Hewett, in precisely the same way as the other bur- glaries, of which Witer is suspected. Witer might have reached Leckford from the scene of his previous operations by paesing under the cover of the woods and hedgerows with- out touching the main roads. Bloodhounds will be put on the trail a.t Leckford. The police hope to secure the man to-day. Captured at Last. M'w I The Press Association states that tne I escaped convict, Witer, has been captured.

BUST OF ALD. DAVID JONES Mr. Leonard S Merrifield, the sculptor chosen by the local committee appointed in the matter of the memorial to the late AidernjaTi David Jones, J.P.. has been suc- cessful in exhibiting the bust, which he is executing, in the Royal Academy. This, surely, is strong evid-en-ce of the excellency of his work, and we are sure the committee feel muoh gratified in their selection of a sculptor whose work (not for the first time) finds its place in the midst of others Which have emanaited from the liand/s of those who a.re universally recognised as the most eminent wu)ptors.

CARDIFF OFFICES ENTERED. I Daring la«t night the offices of Messrs. Guest. Keen, and Nettlefolds' Dow-lais Iron- works were forcibly entered.
