Conatantfnople, April 29.—The con- stitationalfsts have lost no time in ringing the conspirators in "he recent rising to trial. The military court, sitting in the war office, today con- demned about 250 prisoners to death, and they were executed, \ Nadir Pasha Hanged at Dawn.

New Sultan Takes Oath Next Week. The national assembly, which met today under the presidency of Said Pasha, decided that the sultan Mehmed v should take the oath of the con- stitution within a week. The assem- tly also ratified the deportation of Abdul Hamid to Salonica. Difficulty in Forming Cabinet. It is not expected that the new cab- 4net will be completed before Satur- day. The difficulty at present consists in finding suitable men for the minis- tries of tinance and interior. Tewflk Pasha, who will be the grand v has sent a communication to seVeral provincial officials on this subject. The government has decided to send a commission to Adana to try by court- martial the instigators of the massa- cres, and the commission is authoriz-d to act with the utmost severitv. Chief Authors of Recent Mutiny. 1t is alleged that the chief authors of the recent mutiny were ‘Abdul Mamid's favorite son, Prince Mehmed Burnham Eddine, Rear Admiral Said Pasha, son of Kaimil Pasha, the for- her grand vizier, and Nadir Pasha, who were engaged for a long time prior to the rising in corrupting the troops. The two former have fled. Former Sultan Dreaded Darkness. Asni Bey, inspector general of the faloniea police, who was charged wi'h the transport of the former sultan to Salonica, related that when he arrived at the palace at 1 o’clock in the morn- ing he found Abdul Hamid in a large ralon, which was illuminated as though for a gala occasion by every candle and torch that could be found in the building. This was because Abdul Hamid dreaded darkness; he has al- ways been in fear of the assassin. He sat quite alone, with the exception of two eunuchs, in a corner in the same negligent attire as on the previous day, “when the deputation from the national assembly notified him of his deposition. The Irony of Fate. Upon being informed that he must depart, he beseechingly appealed not to be taken to Salonica. He wanted to go to the Cheraghan palace. Fh:nding is supplications in vain, he resigned himself to his fate. He entered the carriage in a dejected manner and spoke not another word. On arriving at the railway station he appeared to be stunned by fear and was obliged 10 stea himself by grasping the rail- ing leading into the salon, which by the irony of fate was a splendld car- riage bearing. his own menogram which he himself ordered built. but had only ridden in once—a short ride which left him with a hatred for rail- ways. This therefore was his first long journey in the imperial carriage. Ordinary Business Operations Being Resumed.
