Bulgaria, Dec. 6.-The feature OF tho
POLITICAL situation here to-day is the
s,sps taken by Said Pasha, president OF |
the council of state and formerly grand
yIEIer In seeking refuge, accompanied
BY his son, lad aged about twelve
wears In the British embassy,
An investigation OF the afair shows
that the sultan yesterday sent special
messenger 10 Said Pasha, inviting him
10 accompany tho chalet within the
grounds OF the Nildlzpark, which was
formerly occupied by MidhRt Pasha' at
one time governor general OF syria,
later governor OF Smyrna, and who was
tried on suspicion OF OF having bcSn
connected with the murder OF the late
sultan Abdul AEiE. Fully aware OF the
siEnlfcance OF this invitation. Said Pa
IN declined. This Is said TO have made
Abdul Hamld take steps TO arrest the
former grand vizler, who Is suspected
by the palace people OF Intriguing for
the deposition OF the present sultan In
favor OF ex-Sultan Murad, now n prls-
oner IN the yildiE kiosk, and who was
declared by the council OF ministers In
1876 TO be suffering from idiocy.
Abdul Hamid. Il seems, believed that
said PaSha was trying 70 influence the
council OF state To declare him
(the sultan) suffering from weakness
OF mind. This 30 enr1ged Abdul Hn-
mid that he determined TO get Said Pa
sha out OF the way. II may not have
been the plan to actually murder the
latter, but nobody doubts that n he had
been entlced into the kildlz chalet he
would at least have remained there a
close prisoner for q long time TO come
and. some morning. the news OF his
suicide" would possibly have been cir
culRted.
WOULDN'T BELIEVE HIN.
In addition to suspeeting Said PashA
Of desiring his deposition the sultan has
been led to believe that the former
grand vizier made no earnest efforts TO
induce the powers 70 withdraw their
demands for the extra guRrdships. II
was IN vain that the pasha protested
he had done everything possible under
the circumstances. The sultan would
not listen 10 his explanations and drove
him from his presence as he did Tewhk
Pasha. the minister for foreign affairs,
some days ago, bitterly denouncins him
for his alleged treachery.
When Said Pashn had left the palace.
the advisers OF Abdul Hamld were not
allow 10 intimate that the president OF
the council Of state was a dangerous
enemy, who should be promptly de-
priyed OF the power OF doing further
harm. The sultan was impressed with
his residence by the police or soldiers.
Somebody hit upon the idea OF tempt
ing Said PashR once more within the
gates Of the vlldlE kiosk by the offer OF
the vlzIeTate. Rlfat PashR. the present

said Pasha, however. Is too well
versed In tho traditions Of the vildlz
kiosk to be caught with such bait. lie
sent n polite refusal which formally
Oflored the yizlerate and this led TO the
less subtle offer OF accommodation In the
famous NIdhat Pasha chalet OF the
ylldlz park.
EXTREMELY CRITICAL.
Nobody here doubts that Said Pasha
had good reason to seek the protection
OF the British Ambassador. and the
situation is recognized on all sides nF
being extremely critical.
When the sultan WAS Informed OF the
course taken by Said Pashn, he WAS
greatly inccnsed and made several fu-
tile attempts TO induce the fugitive TO
return TO his house. He sent Tewhk
Pnslia and other ministers 20 the Brit
ish embassy, where they had n long In
teryIew with Said Pnsha and held ont
all kinds OF promises 70 him on the sui
tan's behalf. But all their efforts to
persuade the PaSlia 10 leave the cm-
hasEy came 20 nothing, Said PGTha
firmly refusing TO trust himself outside
OF his asylum.
Later in the day Tcwnk Pnshn vls-
itni Sir Philip Curric md begged the
ambassador TO do hls utmost TO induce
SAID pashn 10 return 10 hl3 home. max
lng use OF the argument that the
fight Of the prcaldent OF the
council Of state was sure TO have very
bad effect upon the population or Com
ftantlnuplc and might cause trouble of
q most serioun nature. But all these ar
glmoutH wern thrown away upon Sir
pblllp, who after listening quietly TO
all that his caller had to say on the
subject. politely told him that he could
not Interfere In the matter He added
TINT Said Pashn had asked for nm nFy-
lum md that his request had been
granted.
