Vessim Pasha, who 50 lately succeeded to the
place Of Mchemet Pasha az Capudan Pashs or Grand
Admiral, has already lost his place through the in
trigues Of the Grand vsier Fuad Pashs.
The Grand vizier Withheld from the Navy Department
the money necessary to pay the salaries Of the officers
employed there until they actually began to come to
want.
Vessm Pasha appealed over and over again to him
for money but in van and at last he appealed TO the
Sultan himself, asking him how he could be expected
70 maintain the efficiency Of the Navy Department
without money.
The Sultan in rage az sent for the Grand
Vizier-but he took the mask OF Injured innocence,
and cd how he could be expected to furnish money
when there in the Treasury and how he could
expect to carry on the Government when the other
Ministers were constantly running to the Sultan and
slandering him behind his back Either this man must
be- removed or be would resign.
The Sultan had not the courage to accept his resgna-
ton. he dismissed Vessm Pasha in disgrace. but
not to yield everything to Fuad Pasha he appointed
for the new Capudan Pasha one OF Fuad Pashas most
bitter enemies.

the mosque pretended to t1i old grant OF some
Sultan about 30 years ago which forbade the erection
OF any buildings them more than IL feet high Al

Of twice this hight, they succeeded. by bribery and
fana,icsm, in obtaining An order from the Porte to
tear down the three upper stories OF Mr.. Mnasians
warehouse in spite Of the permission given by the City
Government. One story was actually torn down, and
the bading then remained in this condition until three
months ago, when Mr.. Minasian received new
permission to complete it at the hight which 1t then
stood.
He did so, and removed into II full stock Of valuable
goods But no sooner il fully occupied than these
Inans procured from the Grand Visier order to
tear the building down within "a bours OF courss Mr.
Minasian locked the doors and refused. while the
American Minister obtained the promise Of the Grand
yzier that no further action should be taken until the
case had been again fully investigated.
