Sultan, was witnessed by no foreign

The Sultan proceeded in a launch
from the Dolma Bagtsche palace 10

er's edge, where the rite was perform
ed. Then, attended by the Grand
Vizier, the Sheik-ul-Islam. the mem

square were the Byzantine walls sur

further contrast was the fact that His
Majesty, chosen by the constitution

right In an open carriage fresh from
the most fashionable manufacturer OF
Paris. and raised on high with a dig

by thirty-four of his ancestors, and
