Both the Norwich councils were ready and able to enter- tain the grand council, and there could have been found sufficient accommoda- tions for its meegings.

Fighting Appears Inevitable—Crowds Seek Asylum at the Embassies— One Side of Gity Entirely Open, Constantinople, April ' 23—The ad- vance of the concentrated army of in- vestment began this afternoon. While the favored troops of the Constanti- nople garrison were giving homage to the sultan on, Yildiz hill, there was a forward movement of the constitution- al forces on that side of Pera to with- lx; two and a half miles of the Yildiz kiosk. American Tourist Party Turned Back. Cavalry went out to reconnoiter and squads were sent to picket the bridges across the Sweet Waters. A party of fifty American tourists, just arrived, who«were driving in carriages in that direction, were turned back by horse- men. Infantry was then observed ad- vancing, and rumors spread through- out phe city that the army was about the capital and fighting was inevita- ble. Frantic People at Embassies. There was a veritable panic, with much running to and fro and cries of alarm. Shopkeepers in a large part of Pera put up their shutters. The British ambassador, Sir G. A. Low- ther, was caught in the swirling crowd near the embassy, and hundreds of frantic people poured into the.embassy compound, imploring asylum. One Side of City Unprotected. The gates of the embassy were clos- ed with difficulty, but it was late in the afternoon before the refugees were ssured, and sent homeward. The outposts of the invaders remained within two miles of the palace tonight. On that side the city is entirely open, the fortifications having been planned to resist an approach by water. Sultan Still Favorite of Masses. It is impossible to say at present just what are the intentions of the leaders of the constitutionalists, who represent two Jactions, the radical and the conservatives. Evidently the con- stitutionalists are of two minds with regard to the ruler of their country. The pariiamentary deputies, who held sessions at San Stefano today, to be in favor of his deposition, but the splendid reception which was ac- corded the sultan today on his appear- ance in public was a graphic demon- stration of the fact that his majesty retains a strong hold on the hearts of the people, Riots Feared Today if Troops Are Not Paid, Tomorrow is pay day for the Con- stantinople troops. Yesterday the treasury was without sufficient fvnds, and was considered dangerous by the cabinet to leave the soldiers un- paid, owing to the possibility of riots and looting. As a final resort, the min- ister of war hastily summoned the of- ficials of the tobacco monopoly and some of the leading bankers, who have arranged to provide the funds. Turk- ish finances have been seriously af- fected by recent events, besides the injury done to Turkey’s general credit abroad. Cash must soon be found to meet the expenses of the army of op- eration, which it is estimated, since the movement began have reached §: 000,000.

Four lawyers are interested. The testimony was all heard and the arguments are to be pi week from today. I of Lizzie Linnell has been admitted to probate by Judge Ayling, who has named Charles L. Stewart and Andrew B. Davies as appraisers. NORWICH SOCIALISTS. Interesting Question Brought Un and Answered. The que her it was eco- nomic determinism that impelled the saloon keeper to fight the prohibition- ist made a topic for a discussion of much interest at the meeting of Nor- | wich branch of the socialist part- in their rooms in the, Stead buflding on Thursday evening, Tt was answered in the affirmative by a letter from S. E. Beardsley of Shelton, state lecturer, who also took the ground that econom. ic determinism was also the real mo- tive that made the prohibitiomist's fieht against the saloon keeper effec- tive. Granting the sincerity and altruism of many. especially the women, en- gaged on the side of prohibition, he yet argued that the prohibition fizht only became effective when it became an economic question, and gave as in- stances the recent stand of railroads and many manufacturers against em- ploying men showing signs of drink. A number took part in the argument and the meeting was well taken up. C. J. Winters Better. C. J. Winters, the retired meat and provision dealer, is confined to his bed with a bad case of the grin. He was taken ill Sunday night and has since heen in the care of a trained nurse. Or Friday he was reported as showing some improvement. Speeding to Turkish Waters EXPECTED 1;0 REACH ALEXAN- , DRETTA BY MAY 8, TWO U. S. ARMORED CRUISERS Montana and North Carolina Sailed from Guantanamo, Cuba, Yesterday —Both Ships Carry Large Forces of Guantanamo, United States armored cruisers Mon- tana and North Carolina are now on their way to Asiatic Turkey, under or- ders to proceed as swiftly as possible. They leit here shortly before noon to- day, looking spick and span and ready for a record breaking run. Quite Able to Guard American Inter- ests. Captain William A. Marshall is in command of the North Carolina and Captain Alfred Reynolds commands the Montana, and these two cruisers, which are among the swiftest and most formidable of the service, no doubt will be a welcome addition to the warships of other nations now assembling in Turkish waters, and will be quite able to represent American interests in ev- ery way. Distance to Be Covered 5700 Miles. The cruisers are capable of a speed of 22 knots, and have taken on suffi- cient coal fo permit them to proceed at arl average rate much higher than would be maintained for & voyage of a similar distance under ordinary cir- cumstances. It is expecte€ that they will reach_Alexandretta May 8 at the latest, the distance from Guantanamo being about 5,700 miles. Large Forces of Marines Aboard. The two cruisers recently reached here from Fort De France, where they were engaged in watching the move- ments of ex-President Castro of Ven- ezuela. Orders were received three days ago to prepare for the voyage to Asia Minor, and since then the vessels have taken'on a full supply of ceal and provisions. Both ships carry large forces of marines, who can be utilized if necessary in helping to preserve or- @er in the diNfected districts. KNIGHTS OF KING B ARTHUR GIVE PLAY.

PRESIDENT GENERAL. jority of Only Eight Votes—Refus to Make Election Unanimous. Washington, April 23.—After twenty houre devoted to counting and recount- ing the ballots cast yesterday, the Daughters of the American Revolution today found the honors of the biennial election of their spciety divided be- tween the administiution and the anti. administration forces. The big fight of the congress was won by the admin- istration in the election of Mrs. Mat- thew T. Scott of Illinois to be presi dent general. The gecond off in point of honor, that of vice president geners al in charge of organizations, went to the anti-administration followers by the election of Mrs. Miranda B. Tul- loch of this eity, With a majority over Mrs. Willam C. Story of New_York of only !r votes out of 8§78 ballots cast, Mrs Scott’s victory goes down on the ree~ ordg of the soclety as one of the closs history of the organization. v had the first wave of disap- pointment at the narrow defeat of Mrs. Story swept over her followers before action was being taken to res new the fight to clect the retiring New York state regent as president general two years hence when Mrs, Scott's term of office will expire. So close an election stirred the con- gress beyond the experience of years. It was characterized by a bitterness that prevented the adoption of a mo= tlon of Mrs. Story to make the elece tion of her rival unanimous, All night long the thirty tellers counted the ballots for president gen- eral, It was 11 o'clock when Mrs. A ery announced that 873 ballots h: been cast at the election and only 364 were recorded for president general. “The number necessary for an elec- tion is 433" announced Mrs, Avery impressivel Mrs. Matthew I Scott of Ilinois received: 436." The Scott followers did not wait to hear how many votes Mrs. Story had recelved. Appluuge became commone place in the pandemonium that fols lowed. Gray-haired women waved whatever they could seize and some of the Daughters shouted. Scarcely had Mrs. Avery that Mrs, Story had received 428 votes before the New York candidate had found her way to the platform. In & few words and with emotion repressed she thanked those who had voted for her and asked that justice and sup- port be given to Mrs. Scott, she then moved that the election be made unanimous. Cries of “No! No!” greet. ed her, After several gifts to retiring offi- cers had been presented, Mrs. Scott arrived in the hall. Heér reception was almost as hearty as that which had greeted the announcement of her election, She responded briefly to her introduction as the next president general. “I shall be content," she sald, “if only one fold of the mantle of my great predecessors falls upon me, but I pray you to envelope ms with another mantle—that of your charity for my shortcomings. The “insurgent” candidates for offico below that of president-general made announced practically a clean sweep, capturing almost all of the more important places, The tellers made their report to the congress at tonights’ session, Swallowed Half Pint of Muriatic Acid and Lives.
