THE FATE OF THE CON-
DEMNED PASHAS.
Times offs July.)

y Telegram from COnStantlnOple,
which will be found in another CO.
lumn, contains an announcement of
the deepest interest to those who
wondered whether the sentence of
death upon the personages convicted
of the murder Of Abdul Aziz was
destined to be carried out, Midhat
i'asha and the other convicts, except
the actual aSsassIns, have left for a
port in Arabia, where they arctic
remain in Punishment. The news Of
their departure is almost simulta-
neous with the news that their sen
fence has been committed. Our Cor
respondent explains at length how
this end has been brought about.
The Sultan, unwilling to assume the
responsibility Of himself granting or
withholding a reprieye, summoned a
Grand Council of Ministers, ex-Min-
listers, and Ulemas. The majority
gave lheIr opinion in favour of con
tirming the death sentence; while IN
influential minority opposed its exc
cutlon. Contrary to expectation, the
Sultan took the view Of the minority.
In taking this course he was infu-
enced, i'll the opinion of our Cores
pondent, by his reluctance to sanction
the shedding of blood, and by the
representations made by the Ambas-
sailors of the Powers, Lord Dufferin
not least among them.
Hitherto we have RETAINED from
offering any opinion upon the guilt
or innocence of these men. Very
little material, indeed, has been
available for forming such an opinion.
The manner in which the trial was
conducted was so utterly strange to
Western ideas that it seemed to
leave the question of the guilt of all
except the actual m%urderers in as
much obscurity as it was before.
What, however, it was difficult to
believe was the theory that the
whole story of the murder of Abdul
Azlz was trumped up. Every con
sideration tends to make this highly
improbable. The circumstances of the
unfortunate monarch's death raised
a strong presumption of foul play.
That presumption was not removed
by an autopsy ~irregularly and untrust-
worthily conducted. But, apart from
this, it is incredible hal the whole
trial of the alleged murderers was a
mere farce. The Sultan had no press
ing necessity to con- ure up such a
scandalous story, but he had every
motive for hushing up mere palace
whispers, unless he was persuaded

Pashas, his brother-in-law, with whom
he had been living on terms OF init
macy or Midhat Pasha, who had
long sunk into a subsidiary position
which could excite no jealousy IN
the Sultan himself or his Ministers.
But if the Sultan unaccountably
harboured some secret hatreds against
Mahmoud Nouri, and Midhat, it must
be acknowledged that he set about
comprising their fall in a strange
way. To invent a murder OF his
predecessor was to import a danger
GUS tradition into the palace. 1t was
the last precedent that a Sultan said
to live in constant apprehension of
plots need have wished to establish
unnecessarily, A conspiracy, again,
to fabricate a story Of the a.sassina-
ton of the Sultan's uncle was calcu-
lated by its transparency to draw
down the detestation of the Powers
for the Sultan's dynasty. Altoge-
Their, there is little or nothing to war
AN the assumption that the tale of
the assassination of Abdul Aziz was
invented.
The question whether Midhat
Pasha was concerned in the murder,
or what was the degree of his con-
nexion with it, remains practically
unanswered, by reason of the irregu-
larity of the tribunal before which he
was tried. 1t is on that ground alone
that the intercession of Lord Dufferin
or any other Ambassador, can be
justified. Midhat has enjoyed a re-
putation as one Of the few Turkish
Ministers who have been imbued
with ideas of progress and reform.
1t is probably TO that fact as much as
to anything else that he owes the
good offices of the British Govern
ment. But the in~formalIty Of the
trial was the peg upon which those
good offices can alone logically be
made to hang. Khairedden Pasha,
among Others of the Sultan's advisers,
seems to have been strongly dissatis-
fed with the proceedings. Midhat
and the other Pashas convicted with
him probably owe their lives to the
interference which has been made on
their behalf. Yet there have been
those who were unwilling that any
intercession should be made for the
cuIprits of greater mark, while those
of tie lesser were left to their fate.
1t is obvious, however, that a line
should be drawn between those who
confessed to the actual preparation
of the murder. and those who denied
any completely with it. Otherwise it
would be hard TO maintain that the
instigator was not as bad or worse
than his instrument. Whether Midhat
was in reality totally innocent as he
affirmed, whether he instigated the
deed, or whether he shut his eyes
while the deed was planned and per-
petrated, will perhaps never be known.
But there are strong reasons tor sus-
pecting that Abdul Aziz was actually
murdered, and that behind the low
born villains who made away withlhim
there were some high personages
whom the course of events and inquir-
les has failed to reveal conclusive!y.
