cabinet, composed of all sorts of up
starts who had managed to gain a hold
upon the sultan's favor. Some Of them
were ministers. some chamberlains.
some secretaries. One of them was an
astrologer, who during the attempted
revolution of 1897 gained great credit
with the sultan by prophesying the ar
rival of messages by telegraph. This
he accomplished by the simple process
Of bribing operators and holding tele-
grams up.
This Kitchen cabinet" was the real
power back of the throne and the real
Turkish nobility. 1t derived its incomes in
the most various and devious ways
One, for example, collected several
hundred pounds month from the
butchers for not inspecting the meat
too carefully. Another got a dollar
for every sack of -four imported, while
third allowed a Kurdish chief to sup
ply his kitchens with butter in return
for certain immunities. So these astute
gentlemen lived upon the fat OF the
land and built splendid palaces upon
the Bosporus.

constitutional propaganda. Men in all
sorts of disguises were going among
the peasants and the soldiers The
sultan and his kitchen cabinet, al
though they did not know it, now stood
almost alone. The spirit of fear, which
was their strength among the people,
was being slowly transmitted into the
spirit Of liberty. When the time for
the revolution came there was none to
| resist Save that a policeman was shot
| for tearing down the banner of revo-
luton in one city and a dozen of the
| sultan's spies were hanged in another,
1t was almost bloodless. Great crowds
surged before the sultan's palace and
besought him with tears in their eyes
to take an oath of allegiance to the
constitution. He and his forebears had
tyrannized over them for centuries, but
the spirit of loyalty was strong. Alb
dull Hamid, however. apparently un-
moved by these great events and seek
ing only to conserve his own power,
turned them away with some adroit
words Whereupon, the leaders of the
Young Turks went to him and made
him take an oath upon the Koran.
