Constantinople.- Turkish parlia-
ment was opened Saturday, the sultan IS
speech being read by the grand vizier
in the presence of the sultan, the Oldest
Turkish princes, the foreign diplomats
and the heads of foreign banks.

action of Italy in declaring war against
Turkey and with the steps taken by the
powers looking to mediation. In the
meanwhile, the grand vizier said, the
Turkish government continues to have
recourse to measures to defend its
rights and legitimate interests.
The speech declared that Italy's ulti-
matum was presented while the Turkish
government was engrossed in develop
ing the country industrially and repair
ing the errors of the old regime. 1t
accused Italy of opening hostilities be-
fore the expiration of "a hours and
firing upon torpedo boats in the Adri-
attic sea when they were saluting, igno-
rant that hostilities had broken out.
The chamber reelected Ahmed Ria
Bey president by SO votes to S., the
latter for Mir Said. Ahmed Ria
urged that the Young Turk committee
keep its hands off in the coming cleo
ton. 1t is certain the Young Turks
will control the chamber, resulting in
continuous resistance to italian de-
mands.
