Ambassadors Were Bribed.
Berlin.-The Lokal Anzeiger's Con
stantinople correspondent says he
learns from persons in high author
tty that the sudden recall of the
French ambassador M. Constans and
the Russian ambassador NJ Zinovieff
was due TO the discovery in the Yil-
diz Palace records that Abdul Hamid
had paid M. Constans two thousand
Turkish pounds monthly and M. Zin-
ovieff one thousand The cabinet,
the correspondent says, forthwith in
formed the Paris and st. Petersburg
governments which ordered the rex
call of the ambassadors. He adds thdky
the payments were affected through
Pangiri Bey, one of the directors of
the Ottoman bank, who recently dis
appeared.
According to the correspondent,
the archives also contained comprom-
ising letters and receipts for money
signed by Kimil Pasha. former grand
vtzier, which led to his arrest and as
serts that evidence against Ferid
Pasha, minister of the interior, also
was found and that this started vio-
lent agitation in favor Of forcing him
to retire from the cabinet.
"1t is also proved. the correspon-
dent says in conclusion, that Tewfk
Pasha, ex-grand vizier and now am
bassador at London, played double
role. So many members OF the old
regime were smfrched by Abdul
Hamid's archives that the Young
Turks are agitating the placing Of
powder in new hands.
