Avg. 24--A communication em mating from the reform party at Con stantinople appears in the newspapers here today' asserting that the health or the sultan of Turkey. al though momentarily improved, is gradually failing, and that a fatal result may be expected shortly. It adds that Abdul Hamid is fully aware of his condition and desires to secure a successor who will follow out his policy He is said to consider the heir presump tive, his brother, Mohammed Richard, to be too liberal; which view is supported by his majesty's entourage. The com munication also says that a plot is going on in the palace ir. wbicn Aodul Kamivi's advisers and the religious chiefs of the Mohammedans are caniving at the dis inheritance of Mohammed Rechard, who will be declared ineligible as a result of sickness from succession, to the throne, and the sultan will proclaim his seventh son, Mohammed Burhan Eddin, who was born in 1885, to be his successor.
