RECENT OUTRAGES
MSTGATED ABROAD,
SAYS ABDUL HAMID
Sultan Savears by Beard of the Prophet That He Desires
Only His Subjects Welfare

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 3.-During a
reception to the heads of several re-
ligious communities who came TO con-
graduate the Sultan upon the anniver-
sary OF his accession, he made them a
rather lengthy speech in which he de-
plored the recent outrages perpetrated
by Turkish troops. but said that he was
hardly to blame.
He asserted his sincerity in wishing
to do the best possible for his subjects.
OF whatever nationality or sympathy
they might be, and showed unprecedented
cordiality toward the Bulgarian repre-
sentative.
In speaking 10 the representatives of
the religious bodies. the Sultan said:
"All my desire is for the welfare of
the Turkish population. without distinc
tion of race or religion. l am convinced
that the recent detestable and most re-
grettabie deeds did not proceed spon-
taneously from the people, but were in
stigatec from abroad. l hope the meas
ureG which have been taken and which
will be carried out will insure tran
quillity"
The Sultan then became rather excit
ed, and, gesticulating wildly to the re-
ligious representatives present. said:
'I call God to witness the sincerity Of
my aspirations and work, which are Ell
tireIy to the end of my subjects well
fare"
The Sultan then ordered that the Bull
garian exarch communicate his words

Sickle, who have been associated with

The verdict was not unexpected. The

As to Switches.
Referring TO derailing switches. the
justice said that no evidence had been
produced 10 prove there was such de-
vice constructed that would guarantee
the prevention OF an accident.
The Justice said that sand placed upon
the tracks would no doubt have pre-
vented the accident. but the defendants
were not supposed to see to this. They
had performed their common duty when
they had made rules for the motorman

defense. after which 1t was discharged.

man regarded it as impolitic to favor

thought it a privilege to deride and
ridicule u public schools, and there
are some even yet who are not sure
that it is safe to come out from IN

that from this time on it will be en-

many who would not risk their repu-
