lures for Balkan conference to counter |
intrigues conducted from
the Yildiz Palace.

Petit Porisien says that Marshal Cheoket |

C concerned in reactionary plot.
The Sultan's youngest son Is Prince
Abid Efendi He is years old,
having been born in Constantinople in
1905 As the succession now stands he
is nineteenth in order from the throne.
He is the Sultan's. thirteenth surviving
child
The legal heir is the Sultan's brother. /
Bechad Effendi, who was
born in 1874. He expects to rule as Meh-
med " Next after, him comes the Sui
tan's first cousin, Youssouf Izze-dn
Efendi. The succession seldom or never
passes from father to son; it tends to
bark backward. Tracing the line Is
operation. The Sutan's eld
est son is only seventh in line of inherit
ance.
Probably the Young Turks contemplate
simplifying and Strengthening the system
as one of their reforms. The three-year-
old boy is picked, no doubt, in order that
the new ideas may be firmly established
during his minority while he himself may
be educated in liberal. modern ideas
