spread out several thousand acres of

Blaine. Mr.. Frye, on behalf of Mr..
Blaine, requested that the telegram re-
ceived from Josiah P. Caldwell, from
London, be printed with the rest of the
testimony.
Mr.. Hunton said the subcommittee
had no,oficial knowledge ofthe existence
of such a telegram; that matter was in
the hands of the full committee, as he
had never heard Of the dispatch till Mr..
Blaine alluded to it. Mr., Hunton said
he knew of it, but was not certain he
saw it.
Mr.. Blaine-Do you know why Mr..
Knott did not lay it before the sub-com'
mittee2
Mr.. Hunton-You will have to ask Mr..
Knott about that.
Mr.. Blaine-I did ask, but could not
find out.
Mr.. Frye submitted a motion that the
cub committee request the dispatch for
publication with the testimony.
Mr.. Hunton said it would be taken
into consideration by the subcommittee.

Turkey's New Ruler-The sultan,

The new Sultan, Mehemet.M urad Ef-
fendi, is the eldest son Of Abdul Medjid,
the predecessor in the Sultsnate Of Alb
dull Aziz, just dethroned. He sttsins to
the throne under the law fixing the suc-
cession according to seniority in the
male descendants of Gilman He did
not succeed his father upon his death,
because Abdul Az, his uncle, ante.
dated him, so to speak, in nativity. he
now takes precedence of the sons of Alb
dull Aziz under the same law, ascending
the throne made vacant by the abdication
or reinforcement of Abdul Aziz, he
being the senior male member of the
great family of Gilman. he was born
Sept. 81, 1910, but does not seem to have
been subjected to the rigid seclusion
generally undergone by Princes Of the
Ottoman Empire with any prospects Of
reaching the throne. he is spoken Of as
enjoying great popularity and being a
Prince of considerable learning and
ability. To this is probably due the
abandonment of a contemplated change
in the law of succession, advocated by
the late Sultan and some leading Turk
ish statesmen a few years ago, by which
the eldest con OF Abdul Aziz would be
permitted TO ascend the throne after his
father. 1t was said at the time that the
