How the Sultan OF Turkey EFFORTS
Money for His Own Use.

The American Magazine has got
hold of some remarkable revelations
about the sultan of Turkey and his
corrupt government After reading
them one no longer wonders that the
decent men of Turkey have risen up
and demanded reforms. Following is
sample OF the information that is
presented in this article:
However, when the sultan himself
wishes money, he gets IL at once with
no admissible delay. When, for exam
pie, he was about 10 be visited by the
emperor of Germany, his pretended
friend. Abdul-Hamid, prepared "A re-
markable reception. He constructed n
special palace for the occasion, the
Serasim Kiosk, furnished with luXuri-
Gus Partisan furniture, and the sultan
himself superintended the most mi
mute details. The wonderful illumina
tions, the public festivities, in honor
OF the emperor, the costly imperial
gifts that he made TO his friend, re-
quired the expenditure OF several mil
lions OF dollars. Although Abdul-Ha-
mid is worth three hundred millions
of dollars. II would be absurd TO think
that this tremendous outlay came out
OF his majestys own pocket; II was
the people who paid for this whim OF
the Padishah. They were simply or
dered TO pay an additional tax. When
he happens TO need money, which is
too often, his majesty orders the gov
ernors of each province to furnish
him with stipulated amount, varying.

status OF the district. II, however,
the governors answer that there is no
money available in the treasury, the
palace replies. You must get it. The
civil governor then, knowing the nen.

ceeds TO collect II by exacting It AT

conditions IL is not difficult TO play the
