Mystery Of theHaren
One in Which an American Girl
Disappears.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN POISONED

Because Der Friends We're Trying to OBJ
tain Her ReIease-A State Department
Opinion-Further Talk of q Congressional
Rest-The Electoral Law Made Complete
Business in the House Choked on Out
of Spite-Nationai Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON, CITY, Oct. l0-A story was
recently printed to the effect that a young
American girl of great beauty, an inmate of
the sultan of Turkeys harem, had mysteri-
ously disappeared, supposed to have been
poisoned, while her friends were endeavor-
ing, with the aid of the American minister
at Constantinople, to get her out of her un
natural surroundings. The story has created
a decided sensation among the officials at the
state department. Assistant Secretary Rives
said to Il reporter yesterday that nothing
was known of the case at the department,
and careful examination of the files throw
no light upon it, Another prominent
official of the department said: a doubt if
Laura Schirmer will ever be heard Of or
her fate made known to her friends
if she were really poisoned in the sultan's
harem. People who have read Arabian
Nights imagine that the stories therein mar
latfi VI ctNAtth anu NNCi tOup uiodPpSoi-
ances of the court favorites of these eastern
potentates have no parallel in real life. But
Europeans who have lived in these countries
know that too often these time honored stor-
les of murder shrouded in mystery find tneir
prototypes in events of the nineteenth CEN
fury. Remember that the sultan OF Turkey
is more absolutely autocratic than any Euro
pean monarch and that he is surrounded by
retinue of servants and slaves who
regard it us part OF their religion
to do his bidding without question.
"a woman's life is held lightly anywhere
in Turkey, and the lives Of the inmates of a
Turkish harem belong absolutely to their
lords aud masters 1t would be looked upon
there as positive impertinence for native
Turk to demand an explanation as to the
disappearance of an inmate of the harem of
prominent official, and no one would dare
institute an inquiry as TO the fate of any
woman who has lived within the sacred pre-
| cincts of the suitan's seraglio.
| "The story says the sultan is believed to
have been incensed at the statements of the
| American minister in Turkey, working in
behalf of Laura's friends to get the woman
out of his gilded captivity, and therefore
! ppsoheu the girl 10 prevent heT escape.
| Though do not know any such efforts as de-
scribed were made by the minister, the
action of the sultan, if he believed such to
be The case, would not be surprising A
rather melancholy feature of the case is
found in the fact that should the assistance
of the United States government he invoked
we would have 10 be content with the reply
Of the sultan, should ne state that his favor
| ties death had been due to natural causes
