LEGATIONS FUNDS

Attaches Say Mehmed Ali,
Turkish Minister, Took
Money When He Left.

''Mehmed All Bey did leave Wash

cation, and while the amount does not
not reach the sum of $1,000, mentioned
in dispatches this morning, it win,
nevertheless, amount to at least 81. 800.

this morning.
We have notified the Turkish gov
ernment of this loss and we assume
that it VIII prosecute Mehmed Ali. OF
course. no suit would be entered in this
cOuntry-what would be the use of

In addition TO the money belonging

minister, who fed so hastily. took with
him. ne owed many tradesmen in the
city. We 30. not know 10 whom he did
owe money. He always preferred TO
pay bills himself and permitted US TO
know nothing Of his affairs He owed
the butcher. the baker, and others, we
feel sure
When asked If Mehmed All brought
with him 10 this country a large for
tune-more than S200,000-the attaches
smiled, shrugged their shoulders depre-
ciatingly. and said: I'VE do not know.
We even do not know where he kept
his own money or that OF the legation.
He was a rich man and very close. He
may have big fortune. but We do not
know how great"
Many Stories Told.
Since the hurried departure from
America of Mehmed Ali Bey, deposed
and stranded Turkish minister, stories
OF little diplomatic difficulties are grad
ually cropping out. one Of the most IN
teresting OF which concerns one of the
supposed reasons for the Well-under-
stood enmity between the minister ana
Mundf Bey. consul general at New
York, now charge d'ahaires.
1t is a well-established fact that about
every third man in Turkey Is spy.
The Sultan, under the old regime. kept
an eye on every one OF his subjects
No two persons might talk upon the
streets unless one Of his majesty's spies
would butt in and inquire, Whist are
you talking abOUt7" There were 60,VO0
spies in Constantinople alone.
All of which is Introductory TO tho
fact that the Sultan also maintains a
few spies In a merica, and that MundJi
Bey endeavoreo to persuade the minister
that he should give them little work
to do. We en- the minister couldn't SEQ
it that way. the consul general became
peeved, naturally. but dared not 80 over
his immediate superior's head
Entertains Editors.
However, this prior little desire for
espionage on the part OF the consul
didn't prevent him from entertaining a
number of the Syrian editors recently
at a dinner in New York, 50 the minis
ter's friend says. and, after the manner
OF the East, they ate and waxed merry
and toasted Mundji Bey and hoped he'd
be the next minister TO the L. s. A
Which maneuverings would indicate
that Mundu Bey would really rank as
a first rate American politician, and
that thereu be some high old doings
when the consul returns and starts a
newspaper of his own in that dear old
ConsJantinople.
