CONSTANTINOPLE. April 23. The Sultan appeared on the streets of Con stantinople today and was greeted by the people with cries of adoration. With a mask-like countenance and his head sunk between his stooped shoulders, hi acknowledged the salutations of tho throng by curt nods. The occasion of his Majesty's appear ance was his regular Friday visit to the white mosque outside the walla of Yiidiz Kiosk, a ceremony known as the Selamllk. It was the first time the Sultan had been seen in public since the recent outbreak. On the word that the Selamllk would occur today, the people in great numbers made their way in carriages and on foot to greet the Sultan at the Yiidiz Kiosk. From the gate of the palace lnclosure to the mosque, the broad driveway was lined on each side by the picked regi ment. Every. point of vantage was oc cupied by the soldiers and the mosque was completely filled by them. After the completion of his devotions the Sultan returned by the same Way he canio and disappeared through the broad portal Into the guarded precincts of his palace. His Majesty's progress was marked by an ovation, the people, as he drove by saluting him as their master and a. saint. His Majesty nodded to right and left as his victoria -was driven at a slow pace through the lines of soldiers, and he carried his right hand at a salute As the Sultan drove by the terrace of white stone that is used by distin guished visitors to watch his passage to and . from the mosque, he looked carefully to see if any of the Ambas sadors were present. None was there however, as they had by common con sent agreed to remain away. His Maj esty's tavorite colors, those of a Field Marshal, were covered, today by an old overcoat that he has not worn for years.

Through the open win dows of the carriage the spectators caught glimpses of faces. As one of the Turkish women passed the diplomatic representatives, she called the attention of her companions to the new Parisian hats worn by the European women. . These carriages turned Into the yard of the mosque, where the horses were un harnessed and the women waited while the Sultan went Inside for devotions. A muezzin in the minaret of the mosque, whose wonderful voice sounded clear and solemn above the music of the bands and the ringing acclaims of the troops, intoned the call to prayer After 20 minutes the Sultan left the mosque, entered his carriage and the procession made Its way back to the palace gate as It had come. The Sultan appeared a few minutes later at an open window facing the approaches to the gate and bowed in response to shouts from the crowd of "Long life, a. long reign and happiness to your majesty." After the function the S000 troops dis persed, some going to their barracks in the city, while the household battalion withdrew behind the palace walls The people went back to church and 'in a half hour the vicinity of the mosque was silent and deserted.
