a PEN PICTURE OF THE RULER
OF TURKEY. 1,55ss3
Abdul Hamid's Fear Of Assassination
"A Peep Into His Harem and a
Visit to the Treasury-Gor-
geous Palaces.

r SAW the Sultan of Turkey in Con.
stantinople, writes Frank g. Car
penter in the Chicago Times
Herald. Through our American
Legation I was able to visit many Of
his palaces. I went to the Treasury,
and saw the peeks Of precious stones
which are there stored away. I was
present when the Sultan took his way
to the mosque across the city. where
His Majesty must go once q year to kiss
the mantle of Mahomet. During my
stay in Constantinople ! had 8 number
of interviews with the men closest to
him, much of which could not then be
published, and secured, I believe, as
good an idea of Abdul Hamid's char.
acter as could be gotten.
Twas told that even then the great
fear OF his life was assassination. q It
was whispered to me that he never
went to sleep at,night for fear that a
violent death might creep upon him

These eyes shifted to and fro :as he
rode toward the mosque, and y
seemed to me that ] could see the fear
in them. He looked as though he had
lost sleep, and he was nervous and
worn. As he rose to get out 3of the
carriage and 90 into the osque, 4
noted that he was about; five feet nine
inches high, and he weighed then, !
Judge, about $50 pounds. I conld see
his hands as they rested on his knees
They were as long and as thin as the thl'
hands of q Chinaman, and Isaw that
one of them was doubled up into q fist.
When he came out.of the, mosque he
took different vehicle to ride back
to the palace. E.is favorite saddle
horse was present; but he passed this
by and stepped into a pony carriage,
taking the lines into his own hands,
and walking the ponies until he got
outside Of the crowd. The road to the
mosque was covered with well-watered
sand about six inches deep, and the
streets through which the Sultan rides
are always protected in this way, il

carriage were in the procession, and
until the last moment it was not known
whether be would come to Stamboul
by boat or across the Golden Horn by
bridge. The Sultan has never allowed
any one to know OF his movements be-
forehsnd. He has only trusted those
closest to him. / was told that he ate
no food but that cooked in his own
kitchens, and that every dish was
tasted before he partook of it.
He had no confidence in any of his
palaces except that Of Yildiz, which he
thought he had so, fortified that rev
olution could not attack him. He
was frightened almost to death when
the Gear, Alexander II, of Russia, was
assassinated some years ago, and his
life has been one of continuous tn-
rest. He has, all told, from thirty to
forty palaces, a number of which are
on the banks of the Bosphorus. Yildiz
! is situated on hill, and its grounds
contain acres of ravines, Of forests
and lakes, of parks and gardens. Not
far from it is the great palace Of
Dolma Bagtche, where Abdul .Aziz,,
the brother of this Sultan, committed
suicide in order that another brother
named MuTad might be raised to the
throne. Murad was pulled down by
other conspirators, who charged that
he was crazy, and it is said that he is
pining in the dungeons of one OF the
palaces along the Bosphorus. Abdul
Aziz furnished this Dolma Bsgtche
palace. He spent Sc, 600, 600 year On
his harem, and within twelve months
expended $500, 900 for pictures alone.
Invent through the palace while I was
in ConstaDtinople, through o special
permit from the Sultan. 1t has scores
of rooms, walled with satin. 1t has
crystal posts as large around as the
body of man and more than Six feet
tall. It has luxurious couches and
magnificent furniture, but Abdul
Hamid has feared it because it is too
near the water, and he has only used
it for public receptions.
But let me tell you how Abdul.
Hamid looked as I saw MIN on his way
to mosque about six years ago. He
sat in an open carriage drawn by
magnificent black horses, and driven
by coachman whose body was re-
splendent in red velvet suit en-
broidered with gold. The Sultan sat
on the back seat, and was more simply
dressed than any one of the 10,0
soldiers about him. There was red
fez cap on his head. the tassel OF which
hung almost to his shoulders. He
wore a suit of black clothes, the coat
cut high like that of preacher, save
that the coat was edged with red cord.
he wore a white shirt and turn
sover collar, and there was no sign
of sword or pistol about him.
The Turkish cap has no brim,

There were 10000 troops present the

he took the tour across the city to kiss

then droppei them into the Bos-
phorus, in order that there might be
no treachery among the ladies of the
palace. I saw a number Of the harem
ladies during the Sultan's trip across
the city. They rode in caEs, the win
dows of which were open, and though
their faces were covered, the wells were
of the thinnest gauze, and / could see
them almost as plainly as though they
had worn no wells at all. They were
not, to my eyes, extraordinarily beau
tiful, and not few seemed rather
old. Each of the carriages was driven
by swell coachman, beside whom sat
a sober faced ennuch with long whip
in his hand, and ennuchs rode up and
down the line, jealously guarding
their charges. A large part of the ser
wants of the palace are ennuchs. There
is chief eunich, who has charge OF
all the women about the Sultan, anc
who is almost as important q man as
the Grand Vizier. He gets big SAL

During my stay I had chance 70
see some Of the Sultan's horses. Hte He

among these are specimens OF nearly

rode together. The Sultan is g good

as 70 the. horses OF his army, and each
of the regiments which accom ompanied
him to the mosqne was mounted on on
Arabian horses Of one color. During

q great deal of work, keeping track OF
