THE HAREM IN TURKISH POLITICS.

=
There Is phase OF Turkish politics
which Is seldom presented to European
eyes. but II 1t could be seen IL would
be found TO reflect more accurately the
true motives behind Ottoman move
ments than any other. The imperial
seraglio exercises an influence upon the
sultan not so much through the female
inmates-a although their power is not
to he despisedr-as through the neces-
sarily confidential relations which ex-
list between the sultan and the chief OF
the eunuchs. II II the general impress
sion that when any favori.e OF either
sex OF the sultan ceases TO retain his
confidence he suddenly disappears. This
Is the case now with Yaver Aga. He
disappeared several weeks ago. but no.
body dared make any inquiries and
now Il Is announced with an affecta.
tion Of grief that he Is dead. Almost
simultaneously with the disappearance
OF Yaver Aga. Ixzer Bey was hurled
down from his high place and I'M
prisoned.
These two mem have for years en-
joyed the confidence OF the sultan.
They Were on intimate terms with each
other. and while Ixzet Bey. usually
called the Arab. stood Immediately he
tween the sultan and eveyy other per
son I, Is believed that he owed his in
nuence chiefly TO the master OF the
seraglio. II Is said that no verbal or
written communication was permitted
TO reach the sultan save through Ixxet.
and that II was also through him all the
| sultan's commands were conveyed 10
the dignitarses 81 the empire. One
writer says he Was by the suitan's side
st every moment OF the twenty-feur
hours when Abdul Haned was not In
his harem. and when there his place
by the sultan's side was taken by the
/ chief eunuch.

Indications OF the country's growth In
prosperity appear on every hand. The
statistician of the department of agricul-
ture says the farmers in 1897 got $780,
000. eco more for their cereals than they did
In 1885, and $50, 100000 more than In any
other year since 1892 The farm animals
Increased to the extent of $236 coo 900 In
1887. and the gain in the entiIe agrl-
cultural interest OF the country IN 1897
over 1886 is put at $5o0.0o0.Oo No such in
crease as this in twelve months has been
scored In many years. This accounts for
the large number OF farm mortgages in
the various states which are reported to
have been paid of In 1897 When prosper
ity begins with the farmers and farm
workers 4 is always substantial and DIFF
fuses itself throughout all occupations and
elements OF the population. Prosperity
this time struck the farmers and farm
workers first.

has died . violent death. which must
have been connived at. IL u explained, II
not actually perpetrated by the head
eunuch, the harem being the only place
where the sultan u not surrounded by
his ordinary body guards and entirely
at the mercy of his servants
Nothing short Of death could satisfy
the s.itan when once he hac become
convinced that these men were waver-
ing in their loyalty. They must have
been In possession Of too many terrible
secrets to justify risking their willing
ness to talk. Their influence was 30
powerful that they are credited with
having influenced the sultan In every
one Ct the acts which have HORNED
Europe. They were intensely Oriental
In their fanaticism and their hatred OF
everything Western. BY race and b.
faith alike they were inimical to every
thing that was not based upon the
Mohammedan Faith. and their hatred OF
the foreigner was such as that De-
scribed by Byron half a century ago.
The disappearance Of these two i'll
advisers will probably not have any eff
feet in making the sultan wiser or
more liberal. and he must trust his
life to men less trusted than these men
have been.
