CONSTITUTION IS GIVEN TUSKS ST SULTAN CONSTANTINOPLE—An Imperial Irade issued this morning ordains the assembling of the chamber of depu ties in accordance with a constitu tion which has been elaborated by the Sultan. The Irade was commu nicated to the Valis and district lieutenant-governors with orders for hoiding the elections. The consti tution is practically the one worked out in 1876. The Sultan’s convoking parliament created a sensation, taking all Con stantinople by surprise. The imme diate cause of his raising the white flag and yielding to the demands of young Turks was the receipt of a telegram from Albanians of Uskub an nouncing their oath to favor the re establishment of the constitution. This landed like a thunderbolt, as the Sultan had believed he could de pend on the' Albanians. Fred Pasha, an Albanian, had fostered this and the Sultan immediately dismiss ed that favorite. The former Grand Vizier said, Pasha when summoned to the palace reported the real gravi ty of the situation and the necessity for some measure of constitutional government. Similar pressure by others long absent from the palace council completed the conversion, and resulted in the historic irade. BELGRADE, Servia.—Cipher des patches from European vilayets of Macendonia declare the young Turks are complete masters of the situation. All Turkish authorities have sur rendered. The publication at Kossovo, Euro pean Turkey, of Sultan’s proclamation hailed by a salute of twenty-one guns from fort. There is great rejoicing.
