THE SULTAN AS A MUSICIAN.
HamId's SIKH i'm Playing the
Piano.
QFrom the San Francisco BuIletinl

FrOm the San Francisco BnIletin-l
A fact not generally known is that the
Sultan OF Turkey is very fond Of music
and plays the piano with more than ordi-
nary amateur taste and dexterity. In en-
ooUTaging music he is only following the
example Of his predecessors. however.
Death has Just robbed COnstantinople of
a musician who at one time was the lead
ing spirit in Turkish musical affairs. Cen
eraI Guatelli-P -Pacha, who only held his mill
tary title by virtue Of the fact that he was
bsndmaster in chief to the Sultan. In 1913
the general, an Italian by birth, stepped
into the position as the successor 10 Giu-
seppe Donizetti. brother of the composer
Of Lucia" etc. In addition to directing
the musical AFFAIRS Of the Turkish army
Donizetti had also had the musical educa-
tion of the then Suitan'S sons under his
especial care Among thlse youths was
Abdoul Hsmid, the present Sultan. who not
only plays himself. but has also seen 10 II
that his numerous children have had
good musical education. GuatelI Pacha is
proud to be almost as great 4 favOrite at
the Turkish court as Donizettf had been,
and he was an especial favorite of the
Sultan AbdOul AZiZ. whose unhappy fate is
now a matter of history.
1t was because Of this friendship with
Abdoul AZiz that the present Sultan, when
he ascended the throne. never made a IA
vorite of Guatelli Pacha. but he permitted
him to keep his rank and his high salary.
and only gave him temporary substitute
in the person of Amanda Pacha. a Spanish
musician. who is great favorite with the
present Sultan Guatelli Paeha was a very
hearted man, and in the days OF his
power always gave warm welcome TO mu-
sieians on tour who visited Constantinople
Most artists who played before the late
Sultan owed their introduction to the ge-
NAL Italian, and they were generally duly
grateful. for it is a custom at the Turkish
court TO give a virtuoso substantial sum
for a court concert. in addition TO some
glittering decoration GuateIli Pacha was
eighty-four years of age when he died the

Ing man. He stands over six feet, has a
broad and stalwart frame, and weighs
more than 200 pounds. His bearing is

and confidence, yet he is positive and de-

occasion requires. His family, who
are now with him in China, consists of

Inspector FIckett arrived on the Pull
man train this morning with Thomas
Riley whom he had arrested at Bath on
the suspicion OF having assaulted Michael
Clancy on Exchan ge street Monday eve
ming
Since this assault was committed the
police have been quie tly at work on the
case. Yesterday they were able to secure
information from parties who witnessed
the assault that the guilty man was
Thomas Il ley, who of late has been en-
ployed in the Bath Iron Works. and who
was known to have been in Portland on
Monday night.
Wednesday night Deputy Marshal Firth
telephoned the Bath authorities and
learned that Riley was in that city. Dep
uty Firth requested the Bath police to
hold Riley until the arrival of inspector

Riley will probably be arraigned in
the Municipal court at this mornings
session. A continuation will be asked
by the State until such a time as Clan
cey will be able to appear.

greed that the allies should concentrate
within five miles of Pekln, August H..
and the assault should begin August 10.
The attack, however, commenced early in
the morning OF the 18th and our troops
had to make forced march Of fifteen
miles from Tung Chow in great heat.
We were on the extreme left and attacked
the southeast gate OF the Chinese city,
There was practically no opposition, as
W were not expected at that point. The
1 dian troops broke down and rushed
the gate and entered with cavalry and
guns. I then sent other cavalry AMI the
PunJab infantry to the Temple Of Heaven
to secure our left flank and camping
ground for the other corps pushed on
towards the legations. AT three O'Clock
we got on the canal opposite the water
gate and were signalled from the wall
held by the legationers. I.with a portion
OF the staff and seventy Indians, rushed
across the almost dry moat and entered
through the water gate without loss. We
found all we'll in the legations. MacDon-
aid Immediately showed me around the
positions with the view of further action.
In the meantime, our field artillery had
been brought up to lombard the central
gate OF the Tartar City but sortie by
the Americans and Russians on the gar
rison along the wall, anticipated the bonn
bardment and the gate fell into our
hands.
1.-Two field guns were then brought In
to the legation and the rest were sent
back to the Temple of Heaven.
AT about five in the afternoon, the
Americans, under General Chaffee entered
the legation and then we moved on
towards the central gate of the Tartar
City for the night.

men in the legation Here apparently, |

During the evening at the Temple of |
Heaven we were engaged and after In
dieting heavy losses, we occupied the
south gate of the Chinese city.
