The New Sultan.

CONSrANTINOPLE April 2i.-Fol-
lowing the deposition of Abdul. his
brother, Rechad Effendi was proclaim
ed the new sultan, amid great enthusi-
asn and cries of "Tyrants have fallen,
Hail Rechad.''
The ceremony OF Rechads enthrone-
ment is now III progress.
Rechad is sixty-five years old and
next to the deposed sultan, is the old
est male member of the house Of
Gilman. founder of the dynasty His
succession makes the twenty-ninth
sultan in Constantinople since 1451.
Many favored Abduls nephew, Yusseff
lzzedin, as the successor but his elec.
ton would have been violation of the
law that the succession goes to the
Oldest male member OF the house OF
Othman. Rechad is considered ne
weakest man in qualities. Rechad had
no experiment in governmental affairs
and has been practically a prisoner in
Ylldiz Kiosk for twenty-five years. II
Is conceded he will do what the Young
turks demand, but he lacks the craft
mess, and initiative of Abdul.
