4 Bit Of History,


Carter II. Harrison, in Chicago Mail
The sultan is small, slight man, very
thin, and waring careworn, haggard
look. He is said to be terribly timid, and,
owing TO some prophecy, is In constant
fear that he will be assassiuated and by q
stranger. 1 am told be regulates his very
action by the conf unotions of the plaza cts,
keeps ambassadors frequently awaiting
an audience for weeks because of some
baleful crossing of star lines. l heard of
an amusing evidence of his nervous al
arm, when Lew Wallace was our minister,
and which the ambassador of course
could not tell. It was when the British
fleet was occupying a threatening posi-
tion off Alexandria. The sultan in alarm
asked Wallace to get the United States to
propose a mediate ard thus prevent
bioodshed. Wallace telegraphed to the
government at Washing ton, got its con-
SAINT, and then presented the matter to
Lord Dufferin, the English ambassador,
who, of oourse, could not decline. Bot
the prevention of bloodshed was not
what England wanted. So the willy earl
quietly cabled the British admiral that he
would do well to fire a shot before his
government could hear of the proposed
mediation. The shot was fired, and
sitter midnight the Turkish ruler, hearing
of it, hurried an officer off to bring our
minister post haste to the palace. Wal
lace rushed of, brushing his hair as he
rode, found the sultan in state of fear
full trepidation. The pallid ruler inform
ed him of what happened and asked him
what he was to do. The blunt republican
scratched his head g moment ard replied:
"There Is but one thing TO be done, and
that your majesty should 90 at once"
The greatful Turk asked what it was.
Your ms jesty should place yourself at
the head of the army in person and pro-
coed immediately to Egypt" The poor
monarch came very near swooning. Tell
Lew not to deny the good story, for he
will not have a chance to get back to
STEAMBOAT any more, unless he turns demo
