Turkish national hymn. The mounted
Commissioners headed the line. Behind
them came the flag bearers, mingling the
folds of the Star and Crescent of the OF
toman Empire with the Stars and Stripes.
Next in line were the highest officials Of
Medinah Temple, borne by Turks in
magnificent chairs of Turkish upholstery.
The MOBILES on loot and the Masons were
escorted by the Arabians, mounted on
horses, camels and dromedaries.
1t was high noon as the procession
lined up to the mosque, and the visitors
had barely come to a standstill when the
MuezZin Hadji Hassan, clad in magnifi-
cent robes. appeared upon the minaret of
the mosque and welcomed the guests in
the name of Allah and the Sultan. Then
falling to his knees, while the Arabs be-
low him prostrated themselves on the
ground, he offered prayer for the
long life of the Sultan and the President
of the United States, for success to the
Worlds Fair, and for everlasting peace
between the two nations.
The prayer ended, the Muezzin, in
slow and impressive manner, descended
interior of the mosque, the doors of
which had remained closed while the out
side ceremonies were in progress. The
faithful followed him into the sacred pre-
cincts of the edifce, and behind closed
doors the shriners dedicated the mosque
with mysterious rites known only to
themselves.
This ceremony occupied considerable
time, and the immense crowd on the out
side was beginning to get impatient,
when monotonous music fell upon their
ears. 1t proceeded from the Turkish
musicians, sequestered in one of the lat
tice-houses adjacent to the mosque, and
the air was their national war song. AS
the notes died away the doors were
opened, the faithful filed out and the
Muezzin reappeared upon the minaret to
offer more prayers for the long life of the
Sultan and the prosperity of the United
States. Meanwhile, a number of sheep
were being slaughtered in the rear of the
mosque as sacrifice to Mohammed.
This concluded the religious rite, and a
programme of feasting was then inaugu-
rated. Turkish confections and delicacies
were bestowed lavishly, and national
beverages flowed like water. During
this portion of the programme Robert
Levy, the head of the colony, presented
to the Medinah Temple set of jewels of
the order, as a memorial of a strange
ceremonial never before held in America

opcCldA 10 Jue ICECORD-JNION.
LONDON, April 2S.-There is now not
the slightest doubt that the purpose of
William Tounsend was to assassinate
Prime Minister Gladstone. 1t is con-
ceded that he is a weakly balanced IA
matte whose mind has been infamed by
some of the Unionist attacks on the Lib
eral leader.
Tounsend is still in custody on the
nominal charge OF having discharged a
revolver in a public place, but the real
reason for his continued incarceration is
that he is regarded as a dangerous char
acter, the police having secured con-
Vlnclng evidence of his intention to
thwart the passage of the Irish home rule
bill by killing Gladstone. ON the day
that the bill was passed to a second read
ing Townsend lay in wait for Gladstone's
departure from his residence with the
full purpose of numbering the Premier.
Townsend was armed with loaded re-
volver and was deliberately preparing to-
shoot Gladstone as soon as he came
within reach.
When Gladstone came out of his resi-
dence and the would-be assassin saw
him, his purpose weakened, for the pecul-
lar reason that the venerable appearance
OF the Premier reminded Tounsend of his
own fathers appearance on his deathbed.
The pistol slipped from the fingers of the
would-be assassin and he rushed into the
park, sank on bench and burst into
tears.
1t is said that Townsend made his way
into the central hall OF the House of Com
mons on the same night and vigorously
denounced the home rule bill.

Commander E. c. Seymour and num-
Der of Past Commanders and members of
the Council of Administration of the
Grand Army of the Republic, met to-
night for the purpose of taking action in
regard to the Royce defalcation. A COM

posed to begin an investigation into the
management of the Yountville Home,
particularly in reference to the action of
the directors in falling to require bonds
of Treasurer Royce. 1t is likely also at
this meeting that steps will be taken
looking toward the placing of the Home
under the exclusive control OF the Fed
eral Government. Some Grand Army
men favoring the change declare that the
State management has not been salts
factory, and that the recent Royce Incl
dents give perfect illustration of the lax
methods that have obtained in the past.
