London, Eng., May 18.—Ad-vices
from Constantinople regard-ing
the seizure of Harper’s Maga-zine
by the Turk sh government
on account of the alleged immoral-ity
of its contents, state that the
seizure was not, as at first reported,
because the book contained poems
by Scblegel, but was probably due
to an artiole on European armies
and the political situ a ion, which
would not be considered obj ctiona
ble anywhere oulside of Turkey.
The seizure of Schlegel’s poems
was made separately and both ac-tions
were explained es having
been taken in the interest of mor-ality.
Tne magazine . and poems
were the property of an Englishman
residing in Constantinople. They
were stopped and confiscated by
Turkish customs officials, pre-sumably
on the advioe of the
oensor.

Saranac Lake, N.Y.,May 18.—
One of the feats of strength per-formpd
by BlondiD, the strong man
traveling with Cole’s cirtus, which
has been giving exhibitions in this
section, was the holding together of
two large horses that the attendants
endeavored to lead in opposite di-rections.
In this act at the lake,
the placid horses used had been
lately purchased aud were never b3-
fore in the ring. They became
frightened and riared and plunged
and BlondiD, in his efforts to hold
them, ruptured blocd vessels of the
head and chest. He fainted from
the loss of blood and soon after he
was carried from the ring he died.
