The Sultan, after resting a while, re
turned to Vildia Kiosk by the same routa
along which he came. As before, he was
enthusiastically . cheered by enormous
crowds.

Deputies will be examined.

.Many observers remark that. If tha
Sultan accepts loyally tha role of con
stltutiunai monarch and shows confi
dence in the people by appearing: more
frequently on the streets of his capital,
his position will become easy and even
agreeable, since thore.Is no evidence of

Among tha otllclai messages received

telegraphed his congratulations to the
Sultan on the opening of Parliament.
Mts In Old Chamber.
The new Legislature met in the same
chamber where the short-lived Parliament
of 1S76 assembled a moderate-sized hall
in a building facing the square of St.
Sofia. Tha scene was. perhaps, one of
the most remarkame in tne political nie
ih. world All the creeds and
races of tho Turkish Empire sent their
duly elected representatives.
The many varied costumes of the dele
gations, some In flowing silk robes and
others in the fashionable frock coat,

Members from Jerusalem and Mecca
rubbed shoulders with, their colleagues
from the European provinces, and the
far-off Kurdtsh. Armenian and Arab
districts on the confines of the Indian
Ocean.
As far as can be judged from surface
Indications, the new Parliament has en
tered upon Its duties with a united de
termination to carry out successfully tho
aims of the bloodless revolution which
made possible the Inauguration of a con
stitutional regime In Turkey.
Saltan loaves Falace.
The Sultan left Tlldiz Palace. In a
rtato coach at half-past .11 o'clock to
drive to the building adjoining the
Ministry of Justice and facing the
great square of St. Sophia, where the
new chamber convened. He was ac
companied by the flrsf secretary of the
Imperial chancellory, and a large num
ber of aides and attendants. The en
tire line of march of the Imperial party,
a distance of five miles, had been
swept and spread with fresh sand for
the passage of His Majesty.
These are the same preparations
made every time the Sultan leaves Tll
diz. and particularly when he attends
the Selamlik. Every regiment In Con
stantinople was under arms and lined
un alonir the route ef the procession to
guard the progress of the Sultan. Trl
nmnhnl arches SDanned the streets, and

Thousands came In from surrounding
towns and villages, as well as from
more remote parts of the empire, and
almost the entire local population
turned out to witness the ceremonies.

of the corpse protruded, while thoee of
Gushaw curved Inwardly. Gushaw also
had jet black hair, while tho corpse's

noticed on the nostril of the corpse

M'CARREN OPPOSES BRYAN
(Coatlnued from Ftrat Page.)
Is unnecessary to elaborate on recent
happenings for the reason that every
Democrat today, young and old. re
alizes the disastrous consequences that
have followed the attitude of our party
on all the questions that Presidential
contests are decided on.
"The patriotism of the country was
arrayed against us because of our at
titude on questions following the Span
ish War. Our anti-expansion views
lined the young American voters
against us. I have always voted the
Democratic ticket, but In many cam
paigns I did so In the belief and with
the feeling that I was pursuing a for
lorn hope, knowing that the position
of our party would not be Indorsed by
a majority of the voters."
Issues for Voter.
Senator McCarren was a.sked If he
had any remedy to propose. He re
plied: "It la evident to my mind that we
must put ourselves on the side of Na
tional Issues that will be indorsed by
the voters and the sooner we do it the
better. .
"The result of the last election, it
seems to me. is so pointed that there
can be no controverting the statement
that the American people will not
stand for radical tlieorlos in the affairs
Of our Government.
"To my mind, Mr. Taft was elected
because he was suspected of being con
servative. If the Republican party
does not keep Its promises and the
Immediate indications seem to warrant
it will not I think a great opportunity
will be presented to Democracy to name
such issues as I believe will secure
the support of the people.
"In my opinion, the important ques
tions to be decided in the near future
very largely involve the question of
the cost of living.
Th, in Its; frauj, JVltt a4 f.o
study of the causes, which will be
clearly revealed to be depending very
largely- upon, the tariff law, to which
I believe the Republican party is very
largely committed, .in the sense of con
tinuing them as they are now.
"The Democratic party must take a
positive stand on revision of the tariff,
and In such a way as to point out to
the people the wisdom of their posi
tion, that can be easily done by an In
telligent exponent of the question."
McCarren is admittedly one of the
most intelligent Democratic leaders in
the East. His integrity has frequently
been attacked, but there never has been
any question as to his possessing
brains. For this reason his statement
at the present time Is regarded as more
than usually significant.
In his conferences at Washington,
McCarren expressed himself as favor
ing a change In the chairmanship of
the National committee. The Senator
made it clear that he had no personal
quarrel with Norman E. Mack, but he
pointed out that the sooner the party
was relieved lof the Bryan blight, the
better it would be. a
"Let it be known that we are a pro
gressive organization, and not a suburb
of Lincoln. Nebraska," he said. "We
may have real issues, real candidates,
and a real party. Otherwise the best
thing to do would be to go out of this
farce."
Proof that tho M" '
due to factional spite Is given by tfc
attitude ot Main.. .. .....
ough president of Brook ly In.
Littleton and McCarren are bitter
foeB, and have been for a numbeY of
years. Littleton earnestly advocated
the nomination of Bryan at Denver.
But In an address before the Southern
Society he covered practically the same
ground as McCarren did.
Mr. Littleton's remarks, boiled down.
Implied that his party had done noth
ing in past Presidential campaigns
save grab at Issues which it hoped
would raise the popular fancy. There
fore, Mr. Littleton argued, the people
had no confidence in its pretensions,
no matter which faction, .radical or
conservative, was on top. '
"Revamp the Party."
He suggested that the time was ripe
to "revamp" the party, and believed
that the Southern Society should lead
the way.
"Why cannot this society elect an ad
visory . committee from' among its
Democratic members?" he said. "It
would be their duty to ask some good
hard-headed Democrat from each state
to confer, not for the purpose of getting
delegates, but for an entirely different
purpose. We want them to f&rm an
organization in each state to put these
questions to the Government and get
answers: .
" "Where do you get the money to
run your Government?' 'Is your taxa
tion just and equal?' 'How do you
spend it?'
"We also want to keep and maintain
at Washington, a perfectly organized,
well-equipped and courageous bureau,
who shall put the' same questions and
secure the same answers to them there.
"If we do this we shall become, first,
a live opposition party, armed .with the
knowledge of facts and practices upon
questions that are always vital, and
second we will deserve the support of
the thinking people of the country and
get it.
"Our motto should be 'A truly -representative
Republic honestly conduct
ed and frugally administered.' "
As Mr. Littleton could have received j
the Vice-Presidential nomination at
Denver, (hut he wouldn't take it) his !
remarks are certainly deserving of
some consideration.
Local Democrats generally agree that
McCarren has "sounded the keynote,"
but as one man said:
"We never get beyond the keynote
stage. I gueps the matter of National
politics Is a little too hig for us."
