NJ. Ill BEY HAS
BEEN RECALLED
Turkish Minister to Wash
ington is Withdrawn by
the New Turkish Regime.
Announcement of With
drawal Has Occasioned
No Surprise in Diplomatic
Circles.
By AssoeIated Press.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE recall OF
Mehmed Ali Bey, the Turkish minis
ter at Washington. announced in the
Associated Press dispatches from Lon
don, occasioned no great surprise TO
officials in Washington. Indeed. it has
been confidently predicted that this
would surely follow the change in the
Turkish ministry, as Mehmed Ali Bey
was sent 10 Washington under the
old regime.
The general expectation is that the
porte will adopt the practice of re
calling all the ministers appointed
before the constitution was proclaim
ed, and substitute in their places men
known to De in sympathy with the new
order of things in Turkey.
Mehmed Ali Bey is comparatively
young man, being only about 50 years
of age. He, however. ranks high in
the diplomatic corps, and is a man OF
culture and learning. Before coming
to Washington he occupied an import
ant position in the foreign Off &c, being
one of the cOUnseilors OF the Office.
The minister authorizes a genera
denial of the stories which reflected
upon the character and integrity OF
mis- father He has been termed as
q reactiOnary, the minister says, where
as in fact he is liberal in his views
and often has given advice of that
character to the Sultan.

Let me say to all democrats, -
said Mack, that the democratic cam

Mr.. Kern said il was too early to
make any predictions, but from re-
ports received, that it would seem to
me that If every democrat would lend
his aid in thiz campaign, as / believe
they will, the national ticket viii be

Pensions Increase $1,000. GOO.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-RepIesen-
tative Keifer of Ohio. chairman of
the subcommittee on pensions of
the house committee on appropria-
tons, has announced informally that
the committee has agreed to recon-
mend pension roll OF $3.50. .000. 900
for the fiscal year ending June so,
1909. This will be about $1,000. 900
In excess of the pension roll of the
present fiscal year. The increase is
largely due to the provisions of the
McCumber bill, effective In Febru-
ary, 1907, by which the enlargement
of pensions in accordance with age
and the adjustment Of physical ex-
animation as a prerequisite to the es-
tablishment OF pension claims on ac-
count Of physical disability, were
brought out
