of foreign affairs $50. 000 and the grand
vizier $4,000 Even he is not the best
paid, as the official who is in charge Of
the admiralty and who manages a few
old. broken-down battleships gets the
salary of $780, 600 year. His perquisites
swell this amount to such IN extent
that the present incumbent of the office
has amassed neat little fortune of
about S15,000.000.
Compare with these salaries the $50
600 which is paid the president of this
country and the $4,000 which the pres
ident of France receives. The small
officials of Turkey get more than Mr..
Roosevelt, and nearly as much as the
