Golden Horn, and several Of the princi-
pal officials Of the sultan's household Inn
mediately proceeded on board to welcome
Ismail in their masters name. Helanded
the same afternoon and took up his resi-
dence at his fairy-like and exquisitely
beautiful palace Of Ermeghian. The fol-
lowing day, a Friday, Ismail was received
by Abdul Hamid himself, who treated
him with great distinction, and even in
vited him to accompany him to the cere-
mony Of the selamlik and to pray beside
him at the mosque.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony
Ismail returned TO his palace at Ermeg-
hian, and from that time to this he has
never been seen without its walls. Two
years ago It became known at the Yildiz
Kiosk that he had craved the sultan's
permission to proceed to viehy for the
bAne6t Of his health. His imperial mai
esty had, however, CURLY refused on the
ground that the air at Constantinople was
far more conducive to the health Of true
believer, snch as the ex-khedive, than
that Of France. All attempts made by
former friends and adherents Of Ismail to
obtain an audience or even a glimpse Of
him are obstructed by the officials whom
Abdul Hamid has attached to his person,
and this man who, more than any one
else, finds pleasure and amusement in the
association and conversation Of clever
European friends and acquaintances, is
reduced to the sole society Of the stupid
Levantine women who compose his harem
and to that Of the eunuchs in attendance,
Neither Emperor William, the duke Of
Ei;nburg, the duke Of Genoa, nor any
other Of his former intimates and friends
has been allowed either to see him OIL
even to take any notice Of his existence
during their visits to Constantinople, and
his imprisonment in his palace is quite as
strict az that Of the ex-Sultan Murad, who
was Abdul Hands predecessor.
Murad succeeded to the throne June 1,
1875, on the depoHtion Of Abdul AEis, who
four days later was assassinated. Murad
is absolutely free from any suspicion Of
cognizance Of the murder, the tragical
circumstances Of which almost entirely
shattered his nerves. No notice, how
ever, would have been taken Of his dis
turbed condition Of mind had be not at
tempted to introduce reforms, especially
in the expenditures Of the imperial house
hold. One Of hisi first acts, indeed, was
70 reduce the monthly expenditure Of the
palace and Of the seraglio to. $500, 900 a
month instead Of double and even treble
that amount, which had until then and
continues now to be the sum needed for
the purpose. Economy on the part Of q
sultan Of the Ottoman. empire seemed I'M
natural and uncanny, and whoa the nu.
merous parasites and hhhgenS-on Of the
imperial household realized that their in
terests would suffer by the reforms they
at once persuaded the Kislar Agnassi, OF
grand chief Of the eunuchs-and as such
one Of the highest officials Of the realm
topFoceed to the Sheikul-Islam and inform
him that Murad had become insane.
Now, the Sheikul-Islam, as the chiel
ecclesiastical dignitary Of the empire, has
power to depose q sultan from the throne
