IURKMI SULTAN SAID
TO BE ON DEATHBED
Paris. 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. The
latter is said :o be in complete accord
with his father's policy, which the reform
ers claim "would mean a continuation of
the present regime of terror and massacre."
