Tewflk Pashi., the grand visler, to? day arranged e compromise with cer? tain Influential constitutional!! ts, and this was approved by the Sultan per? sonally, but doubts exist whether this agreement frill b? accepted by the majority of the committee of union and progress ot by enough of the mili? tary group to carry it Into effect. In addition to promising to with? draw himself from administrative ac? tivities, the Sultan agrees to a change In the personnel of the troops guard? ing that pelaoe and the replacing of the Constantinople garrison by troops from the corps which has practically been Investing the city for four da ye.

Tallahassee, Fla., April 22. ?The McMullen bill providing for the sub? mission of the question of State-wide pi ohlbit ion passed the Senate on fin? al reading this afternoon by a vote of 24 to 7 amid scenes of wildest con? fusion. This bill has the support of the Anti-Saloon League, and all ele? ments of the Prohibitionists, to whom the overwhemllng majority accorded it in the upper house was no less a surprise than to its opponents. The MeMull?n bill Is identical with the Hllburn bill In the house, and when It comes up In the lower house a motion wll be made to substitute the senate bill for the house bill, and It Is possible that a vote will be reach* ed this week. The bill provides for the submission of the question of State-wide prohibi? tion to the qualified voters of the State at the general election to be held In November, 1911. When the McMullen bill reached the house this afternoon it was im? mediately referred to the house com? mittee on constitutional amendments.

Thi Kind You Han Always Bought Reare thii Signature of BOEBEL'S ASSASSINS FREE. GOV. WILSON PARDONS LAST OF GOKBKL MURDERERS. Ginnt? Full Absolution to Fugitive* From Justice Charged With Kill? ing of Governor. Frankfort, Ky., April 23.?Gov. Wlllson cleared the Kentucky court records of all charges grawlng out of the murder In January, 1900, of Sen? ator William Goebel, who was declar? ed by the legislature to have been el? ected governor, except those hanging over State's evidence witness In the al? leged conspiracy, by granting par? dons before trial to Former Gov. W. S. Taylor and Former Secretary of Stste Charles Finley, who have been fugitives in the State of Indiana for nine years, to John Powers, brother of Csleb Powers, who Is believed to be In Honduras, to Hollond Whlttaker of Butler county, John Davis of Louis? ville and Zach Steele of Belle county, who did not flee from the State. Those over whom indictments are left hanging are Walton Golden of Knox county, now In Colorado; Frank Cecil of Belle county, now a railroad detective in St. Louis, and William H. Coulton of Owsley coun? ty, said to have died In the West re? cently. These cases, with the possible ex? ception of that against Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving Henry E. Youtsey, now serving a life sentence in the State penitentiary, the only person to suffer for the assassination of Goe? bel. Reiterating the belief he expressed several months ago when he pardon? ed Caleb Powers and James B. How? ard that no one but Youtsey had part In the murder, and that It was not a conspiracy, as the commonwealth charged. Gov. Wilson says that in the memorandum attached to the pardons that he believes It a "sacred duty" to pardon the men who fled the State as they "had the greatest rea? sons to believe" that they could not have a fair trial." In extending clemency In the Tay? lor case the governor, after review? ing the State gubernatorial election of 1899 and the contest Instituted be? fore the legislature by Senator Will? iam B. Goebel, says that when the Powers applications for pardon were presented to him a public hearing was held and he became throughly familiar with the whole cause of the prosecution and defense. "After the hearing," continues the governor, "the whole record of ' all the trials, with the opinion of the court of appeals, was faithfully read find after giving these cases the Im? partial consideration which the earn? est belief that Powers and Howard were not guilty and issued the par? dons. The study of these records con? strained me to believe, to the exclu? sion of a doubt, that Howard did not flro the shot which killed Goebel. "The only evidence In all of the four trials of Powers and the three trials of Howard by which the prosecution in any way attempted to connect Gov. Taylor with the murder was the tes? timony as to his writing to get How? ard to come to Frankfort to kill Wil? liam Goebel and tending to show that Howard, on the request in that letter, did come to Frankfort, entering Into the plot, and committed the murder. "But Howard did not kill Goebel. and Gov. Taylor could not be guilty of getting Howard to do what he did not do. "I am absolutely sure that Gov. William 8. Taylor had no part in the murder of William Goebel and feel It a sacred duty, which I must no long? er delay, to carry this belief Into ef? fect and I therefore grant to William S Taylor a full and free pardon." ?You should not delay under any circumstances in cases of Kidney and Bladder trouble. You should take something promptly that you know Is reliable, something like DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. They are unequaled for weak back, backache, Inflammation of the bladder, rheu? matic pains, etc. When you ask for DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, be sure you get them. They are an? tiseptic.

Convention Meets in Laurens Next Year?Dr. Pohn L. Dawson, of Charleston, Elected President. Summerville, April 24.?After elect? ing Dr. John L. Dawson, of Charles? ton, president, and choosing Laurens as the next meeting place, the conven? tion of the South Carolina Medical Association, which has been in session in Summerville since Monday, ad? journed yesterday. There has been nothing to mar the success of the occasion at any time, and many of the doctors yesterday ex? pressed the opinion that it was one of the most successful meetings ever held by the Association. The service at the Pine Forget Inn was superb, and the doctors were of one voice in expressing their apprecia tioi: it. Capt. F. W. Wagener, the proprietor, was present in person to assist Manager Senna in looking after the comfort of the guests, and noth? ing was left undone to make their stay at this magnificently equipped hotel a pleasant one. Drs. F. Julian Carroll, chairman; J. B. Johnson and E. D. Tupper, of the committee on arrangements, were especially active in looking after the welfare of the visitors, and all of the citizens of Sum? merville lent their cordial assistance. The time yesterday was very profit? ably consumed in the reading and dis? cussion of papers on medical subjects in both the medical and surgical sec? tions, in the election of officers for the ensuing year by the House of Del? egates, and after this, in the enjoy? ment of the immensely pleasant recep? tion so kindly tendered the medical men by Dr. C. U. Shepard at the Pine hurst Tea Garden. The surgical section, presided over by Drs. Baker and Cathcart, the lat? ter taking the chair when Dr. Baker was called upon to preside over the meeting of the House of Delegates, was held In the rotunda house. Quite a number of papers of much Interest in the surgical world were read and discussed. Up Before the Bar. ?N. H.

Eugene Onegin, Tschaikowski's Great Opem Produced by Company of Great Artist?Damrosch's Orchestra Was Beyond Criticism. Special to The Dal'-- Item. Spartanburg, April 22.?The second concert of the festival was heard to Ight. The most brilliant success crowned the efforts of the artists and the chorus under the training of Mr. Arthur L. Manchester, attained the highest perfection in the history of Converse. During the rehearsal this morning Mr. Damrosch made such re? marks as the following: "Dear singers and people of the South, what could be better than the work you've done?" And speaking to the men he said, You leave nothing to be desired," from such a conservative man, these words are most eloquent. Between the first and second acts of "Eugene Onegin," Mr. Damrosch presented a beautiful baton as a gift of the gentlemen of the chorus to Mr. Manchester, as a token of their esteem and a symbol of his skill. This act was heartily applauded and clearly evinced with what appreciation and n what esteem Mr. Manchester is held in Spartanburg. The evening was de? voted to the wonderfully dramatic opera, "Eugene Onegin," by Tschal kowskl. In this work the author has run the gamut of woman's emotions, and with consummate genius fit the spirit of the music to the meaning ancl mood of the play's action. If the plot of the opera had not been read, the music would have given an intelli? gent Idea of the opera without doubt. The artists were Mr3. Corlnne Rid er-Kelsey, Mrs. Helen Sherman Gue, Miss Nevada Van Der Veer,'Mr. Reed Miller, Mr. Frederick Weld and Mr. Gustaf Holmqulst. Especially fine was the work of Mr. Miller who is a South Carolina boy. His voice was In rare shape, and especially did the au? dience enjoy his love song to Olga, Impersonated by Miss Van Der Veer to whom Mr. Miller Is engaged to be married shortly. This delightful in? cident seemed to add ardor and depth to Mr. Miller's interpretation. Mrs. Rider-Kelsey of Covent Gardens, Lon? don, charmed her hearers as " Tat yana." Her high soprano voice was the medium of deepest feeling and her difficult task was accomplished with seemingly perfect ease. Mr. Weld In the tlUe role was great. He has not been heard before In Spartanburg, but he created such a splendid Impression that the festhal managers will cer? tainly welcome him for future engage? ments Mr. Damrosch and his or? chestra are beyond criticism. The au? ditorium seats 2,500 people. Tonight about 600 seats were not taken. How over on Friday evening, artists' night, it is expected the house will be filled. Spartanburg, April 22.?The Dam? rosch orchestra surpassed itself this afternoon in the splendid symphony concert. First was played the Ital? ian symphony by Mendelssohn in four movements. The Joyousness of Italy with Its clear blue skies and its romariltc spirit were cleverly reflected in the allegro movement, while in the presto movement were set forth in thrilling style, the whirling taran? tella and the ecstatic santarella divid? ed by a slightly soberer melody from the violins. Following this symphony were given the popular Spring Song and Spinning Wheel, arranged for orches? tra by Galrand. These numbers were so enthusiastically applauded that the Spring Song was repeated. The first part of the programme was devoted to Mendelssohn, this being the hun? dredth anniversary of his birth. The second half of the programme was opened by the theme and variations from suite three of Tschalkowsi. Next were rendered an Adagio and peopetum mobile by Ries, Mr. Sas lowskl, the firs': violinist of the or? chestra played the Adagio as solo. He is a masterful violinist and his work aroused :hunders of app!aut?e. Too much could not be said of the extreme beauty and poetry of his tones and his faultless technic. The final number was the Spanish Rhap? sody of Chabler. This work Is one of many changing moods and colors, full of syncopations, depicting the va? rious forms of the dance as seen un? der Spanish skies. Tonight was sung the "Creation" of Frenz Joseph Haydn. The In rgest and most elegant audience was pres? ent that has yet attended the festival this year. Mme. Rlder-Kelsey was ai her best. Her voice possesses a wonderful charm that is simply com? pelling. And the most difficult pea lages were sung with seemingly n > effort Mr. Holmqulst sung the elab? orate bass parts most creditably. In the opera of last evening his oppor? tunities were |0 scanty that many crttctl had discounted his abili? ty. Tonight he made a ^reat Impres? sion on the music loving people and Was forced to bow his thanks to the ?Udlenoe for their applause. Mr. Reed M'ller again scored a great hit. His voice Is exceptionally fine and his future will certainly b*> a bright one. Mr. Manchester'? warte at conductor and leader of the jreea* choruses of the "Creation" showed! up to fine advantage. The men sra? too few in numbers and fall to sup port the female voices as they should, but this is due to conditions wblct? could not be overcome. Moreover this fault was not a vital one, the high standard of 3inging easily eclips ing all former efforts of the festival choruses. Tomorrow is the last day of the festival, which despite the ef? forts of Charleston and Columbian through which the patronage here was somewhat reduced, promises to end with the utmost glory aad de? served success. ?If you have backache and urinary troubles you should take Foley's Kid? ney Remedy to strengthen and build up the kidneys so they will act prop? erly, as a serious kidney trouble may develop.
