Reported Recall.

Conttlninople Aug. 5.-lt is reported
here today that the sultan had recalled
the Turkish Ambassador to Wash
ington, Mehemed Ali Bey. 1t could
not be'conRrmed, though it is generally
accepted. Mehemed Ali Bey belongs
to the old Turkish regime, all the mem
bers of which will probably be dismissed
from public service before Abdul Hamid
completes the reform of which he has
started. Nothing is known as to who
will succeed to the post at Washington.
Washington Aug. 5.-As for the re-
port that be is to be recalled as Turkish
minister to the United States, Mehemed
Ali Bey, the Turkish Minister, said this
morning he was uniformed.
There is, however, reason to believe
that the report is correct, because. as
stated in the Constantinople despatch,
Mehemed Ali is affiliated with the old
regime, which is now being thrown out
of Office by the sultan in response ID the
demand of the young Turkish party.
At the State Department regret was ex-
pressed at the attempted assassination
of the sultan although 1t was &C
companied by the comment that in the
present state of excitement at the Turkish
capital, such an event might be regarded
IS almost inevitable.

Mr.. Bryan.

Fsirview, lincoln, Eeb.. Aug. g.
Ten thousand Bryan and Kern clubs
will be formed in the so-cslIed doubtful
states, If the plans as approved by Mr..
Bryan, are carried. The first steps have
been taken. Mr.. Bryan has been con-
WINGED that through the formation of
clubs, he can enlist In the democracy, who
many will this year cast their first vote
for president. The Candidates speech
of acceptance was printed today.
1t is a lit.le over 5000 words in
length, or less than one. third the length
of Tslt's speech. In explaining this,
Bryan said he had only dealt with the
subjects that were put directly up to him
by Taft. He will leave most of the
plaDks OF the platform until later date
for discussion. Mr.. Bryan has finally
approved the plans for his notification
next Wednesday. The managers are
trying TO bring Gov. Sheldon and the re-
publican state officials among the guests.
They have agreed to attend If possible.
Manager Brown today sent an invitation
to Senator LaFollttte, of Wisconsin,
asking him to attend the notification
ceremonies. Mr.. Bryan is watching the
Iowa situation with great interest. 1t Is
believed by his friends that the death of
Senator Allison will reopen the entire
fight between the radicals and the
''stand-patters" and the democrats will
benefit thereby.
"Shall the people rule this country.
This is the paramount issue Of this cam
paign" declared VIM. J. Bryan, today,
in discussing the speech which he will
deliver in the capitol grounds here next
Wednesday.

Returns from several provinces in
the s,.caIIed republic of Panama show
the election of Obaldis to have been
unanimous. The presence of United
states marines led to the withdrawal OF
the other candidate, and his supporters
sImply STAYED away from the polls. 1t
is thus that the great republic of the
west teaches the lesson of self-govtrn-
msnt to the province which it amputsted
srom Colombia in defiance of treaty by
which it was bound to maintain the In
tsgrity of that republic. The New York
Tribune explained that the marines per-
formed no function in the election ex'
cept to assure order; that the Washington
authorities did not care which candidate
was elected, but were determined to have
a peaceful election. Bat, adds the Phlla'
delphia Record, the man whom the
Washington authorities favored stayed
In the race and the other man took HIM
self out, from which the inference Is
that Obsldia would have used force
against his rival and that would have
constituted the disorder the marines
were to prevent.
