OPENS At coNsTANTINoPLE

ENTHUSIASM FOR SULTAN
Ruler Came Out Openly to Meet the
People-clty Brilliantly llIumI.
mated And Streets Full
Of Life.

Constantinople, Dec. 18.--A new
constitutional government was inau
gurated Thursday with every sign Of
success. The new parliament elected
under the constitution, promulgated
by the sultan last July. was opened
and everything passed of without the
slightest disorder.
Any fear that the sultan may have
had as to the temper of his subjects
was dispelled by the ample display Of
enthusiasm. The fact that the sultan
came out openly to meet his people
on this occasion has gone long way
toward removing the effects of past
evils attributed to the palace rule.
while the grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha,
who insisted on the sultan's coming by
the road which passes through the
European quarters of Pera and SIAM
boul, thus bringing the sovereign into
contact with the masses, has shown
his great wisdom and has by this
move secured further success in the
consolidation Of the constitution and
regime.
Thursday night the streets were full
Of life and the city was brilliantly IL
Illuminated. Frequent pistol shots were
heard as a sign of the general rejoic-
ing.
The opening Of the parliament was
solemn. Two hundred deputies and
senators, together with the chiefs of
various religious communities, large
Number of other state dignitaries and
ministers and the heads of the diplo-
matte missions were present. With
the exception of the sultan's six sons
In box no other princes were repre-
sented. After the reading Of the |
speech from the throne there was |
flourish of trumpets and the troops
outside the building gave three
cheers for the sultan while artillery
salutes announced the event to the
whole population.

majorlties, often was sighted in the

not be the case in the next admins
tration was indicated by the an.
nouncement by Mr.. Taft that he
would invite Senator Knox to come
to Augusta that he might consult him
freely with reference to filling other
places in his cabinet.
In fact, he said that he felt the
need of such advice as he should be
able to obtain from Mr.. Knox re.
garding not only the cabinet, but
many matters preliminary to the be-
ginning of his administration. That
Mr.. .Anox's influence will be potent,
was freely admitted by Mr.. Taft.
The hesitation of Senator Knox to
