riages turned into the yard of the
mosque, where the horses were UNI
harnessed and the women waited while
the sultan went inside for devotions
A muzzein in the minaret OF the
mosque, whose wonderful voice sound
ed clear and solemn above the music
of the bands and the ringing acclaims
of the troops, intoned the call of
prayer.
After twenty minutes the sultan left
the mosque, entered his carriage and
the procession made its way back TO
the palace gate as it had come. The
sultan appeared a few minutes later
at an open window facing the APP
proaches to the gate and bowed in
response to shouts from the crowd of
Long life, long reign and happiness
to your majesty"
After the function the 5000 troops
dispersed. some going to their barracks
in the city, while the household bat

walls.
The people went back to church and

mosque was silent and deserted

lar Friday visit to the white mosque,
outside the walls of Yildiz Kiosk. a
ceremony known as the Selamlik. 1t

the sultan at the Yildiz Kiosk. From

soldiers and the mosque was completely

palace gate, freshly sprinkled with
white sand, that the sultan might have
an undefiled path to his place of wor-
ship, was lined four and six feet deep
by the troops of the empire. Back of
the soldiers gathered a dense throng.
At noon the gates were thrown open
and the sultan appeared In his VIC
toria. He drove the short distance to
the MOSQUE and at once entered to say
his prayers After completing his devo-
lions, he returned by the same way he
came to the palace
His majesty's progress was marked
by an ovation, the people, as he drove
by. saluting him as their master and
saint. The monarch nodded to right
and left and saluted.
AS the sultan drove by the white
stone terrace, used by distinguished
visitors, he looked carefully to see II
any of the ambassadors were present.
None was there, however, as they had
by common consent agreed to remain
away. The terrace was occupied by a
large gathering of foreign visitors and
Junior members of the various dip
lomatic missions.

that of a field marshal. was covered
today by an old gray overcoat that he
has not worn for years This garment
is commonly believed to have a lining
of fine steel mail.

CHRISTIANS IN TURKEY DO
NOT TRUST THE SULTAN

NEW YORK, April 23.-"Not a
Christian in Turkey trusts the sultan,

either. His death would be welcomed

STATE FAIR MAY SUFFER
FROM NEW WRIGHT LAW
Exhibits Formerly Transported Free
Must Pay Now, Unless Exemp-
tion Is Discovered

SACRAMENTO, April eat has
been disclosed that the Wright railroad
law which was enacted by the last
legislature does not exempt exhibits
from the payment of freight to and
from the state fair, although it has
been the custom of the Southern Pacific
company for years to encourage such
shows of products by transporting
them without cost. If some loophole
cannot be found by which the law may
be evaded it is likely to have a de-
pressing effect on the state fair here in
August.
Appeal will be made to the state rail-
road commissioners and the attorney
general in the hope that through them
some Interpretation of the law may be
hit upon that will exempt exhibits in
which there is no profit from the freight
rates collected for the regular COM
modities of commerce.

aries Rogers and Maurer are also con-
frmed they having been killed in the

graphed the situation there would be
desperate If the negotiations following
the representations of European pow
ers. which We're made yesterday, should
fail. These representations touched the
general situation in Persia. The results
