EXCITEMENT OVER SAID PACHA
Constantnople. Dec 6-The fact that Said
Pacha has sought refuge in the British En-
bassy has caused a great sensation in all cir
cles and is general topic of conversation. 1t
is impossible TO foresee the outcome, but the
fact OF native statesman of the highest rank
seeking an asylura IN a foreign embassy is
recognized everywhere AS indicating an eX-
tremely critical situation. which. il is believed
may become a tanning paint in Turkeys his
tory.
The immediate and precise causes of the ex-
Grand Viziers action are unknown, but they
are not far to seek. 1t Is said that the Sui
tan desired Said Pacha to reside in chalet
in the Yildiz Park that was formerly occupied
by Midhat Pacha, the IL -fated founder of the
Young Turkey party and the man who gave
Turkey her first constitution. Said Pacha. how
ever realized ,he meaning Of the invitation
chalet. 1t IS also known that the Sultan has
been for some time trying to induce him TO
reassume the Giand Vzierate. Said Pacha in
Nariably declined to take again the once uil-
less the present conditions Of the Government
were changed.
While the sultan was pursuing his efforts IN
this direction Said Pacha was one day detained
in the palace for many hou1s. and II seemed as
though he would be detained as prisoner
His health would not permit Of his being Inn I'M
this ne undoubtedly had serious grounds for
seeking the sanctuary OF the embassy.
When the Sultan heard what his ex-Grand
Vizier had done ne was greatly incensed and made
several vain attempts 10 induce h:m 10 return
10 his residence. His Majesty sent Tewiik Pacha
with Said Pacha's namesake. the President OF
the Council. to the embassy at half-past
o'clock in the morning, where they had long
interview with the refugee, They made all man
ner Of promises in behalf OF the sultan II ne
would return 10 his home They declared that
nothing would happen 10 him, but said Pacha
with an ever-present knowledge OF Inc Y&iue oI
imperial promises. declined to leave the safe
shelter he had found Then Tewnk Pacha vainiy
appealed To Sir Philip Currie TO compel Said
Pacha 10 leave the embassy.
Later Tahis!n. the Sultans first secretary, re-
nained with SAID Pacha for two hours vainly
pressing him to alter his decision. He also tried
10 induce him to reassume the Grand Vizierate,
but no argument that ne coul0 advance OF any
anneaI tbet he could make had any effect.
