CONSTA NTINOPLE, November %
The sultan. for the first time on record.
on the second night of Bairan, visited his
brother and successor, Achmed Rechad
Effend. The sultan went incognito and
did not allow himself to be announced.
Rechad Effendi was rather alarmed when
he saw his majesty, but the sultan said
he had not seen much of him and that
they ought to know more of each other
He stopped very short time. 1t is be
lieved that his real object was to find out
if Rechad was contemplating any action
or attempt to get the throne.
RumorS have been prevalent lately Of
the abdicatiOn of the sultan or OF his
deposition, but there seems to be nothing
III them, especially as at last he has given
way and is allowing the troops at YiI;iiZ
to be changed without opposition. After
the affair at Tashkishla and the sharp
lesson dealt out to the mutinous soldiers
the sultan is said to have been very i'm
pressed, and declared that he never be-
lieved Turkish soldiers would fire on
Turkish soldiers. They had refused to
do when he sent Anatolian troops
against the revolutionary Sd Army Corps,
and now they We're firing on his own men
He is also said TO have stated when
asked TO agree to the transfer of troops:
DO as YOU like. You have the guns
and the men"
There is doubt that the heavily
front of IildiZ, Is a strong argument, and
she remains there. although the sultan
has frequently asked that she should be
moved somewhere else.

SpecIdi SdDIeSran 10 Inc Star.
LONDON, November oS-There Is no
confirmation of the statement which has
been published TO the effect that the
government has decided TO lay down six
ships of the Dreadnought class, and no
final decision has been reached on the
matter. 1t is stated in Authoritative
quarters that there is some disposition
to limit the program to five armored
vessels only, and by way of compensa-
ton 10 arrange for three or four of them
to be laid down during the summer.
months. instead of in the late winter as
has hitherto been the custom In this
event the fifth Dreadnought would be be-
gun shortly before Christmas 1909 which
would also be earlier than usual It is
hoped that the pressure put on the gov
eminent will result in at least six Dread
thoughts being laid down, so that AL ner-
vousness as 10 the future of the fleet may
be set al rest.
1t is no secret that unless the govern
ment introduces a program which is con-
sidered consistent with absolute safety
three years hence, when the foreign yes
sells now building will be at sea, an en-
ergetic agitation will be prosecuted NOT
only in the metropolis but throughout
the provinces. In view of recent events
no doubt Is felt as to the determination
OF the country on this matter Among
the government supporters the hope is
expressed that Mr.. ASquith ana his col
leagues will decide to leave no doubt as
to their intentions even in the minds of
those who most fully realize the supreme
Importance of a commanding fleet, fit Tor
any emergency
1t is pointed out that if the program
next year is not fully adequate the gov
ernment will be face to face with a
naval agitation which can hardly fail TO
embarrass the foreign relations of the
country. since in such Reconsideration
exaggerated in tone-the intentions. acts
and motives of foreign powers figure
prominently.
