SULTAN OF TURKEY
TARGET FOR DAGGER
Stabbed in the Breast in His Pal
ace and Saved from Death
by Armor.
CAPTURE WoULD-BE SLAYER,
He Is a Minor Official and Gold
Found on Him Indicates He Had
Been Bribed to Commit Act.

Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey was
stabbed in the breast at COnstantincple
by a minor palace official. Only the
coat of mail which the Sultan always
wears saved his life. This detected
the blow of the would-be assassin's
knife, and rendered it practically
harmless. The Sultan's assailant was
seized at nee by the guards which
came at the rulers call.
The Sultan's cutlery as he grappled
with the man aroused hundreds of pal
ace attaches. and Immediately the
whole Yildiz Kiosk was in an uproar.
Soldiers came gathering in aud form
ed a strong guard around Abdul's pri-
vate apartments. The connection was
unusual, ever for the palace, which has
been the scene of so many tragedies
arising from attempts and fancied at
tempts against the Sultan's life. The
would-be assassin apparently had been
bribed to commit the act, as he had a
