GOOD RELATIONS ASSURED
MehMnmfd Free From Suspicion ol
'Corruption Young Turkish Ad
ministration More liberal
With Americans.
WASHINGTON. April 27. Prompt
recognition will be given to the new
government of Turkey by the admin
istration when official news of the new
order of things reache Washington.
The officials depended entirely on the
Associated Press dispatches today, as
Ambassador Lelshman la evidently
waiting the formal announcement of
the selec.on of the new Sultan by the
Turkish Foreign Office.
Speculation is rife as to what will
happen under the reorganized govern
ment. It being recognized that in the
present condition nobody can safely
predict the outcome. The universal
opinion Is that. If the Young Turks
party is equal to the trust imposed, a
new era with bright prospects is in
store for Turkey.
The opinion is expressed that with
the new Sultan on the throne and with
the Young Turks" party in full power,
there will be a rehabilitation of the
relations with the countries of the
world, and opportunity offered for a
more satisfactory treatment of the mis
sionary question, which has been a
troublesome one. due to the fanati
cism of the followers of Islam, and on
many occasions led to diplomatic rep
resentations to Turkey.
In many little things, which In the
aggregate are considerable, the ad
ministration of the Young Turks has
been satisfactory to the state Depart
me Annoyances affecting travelers
n Turkey, irritating questions touch
ing the Armenians and those of natur
alisation have disappeared and In other
ways a more liberal application of the
local and general laws has prevailed.
To American missionary interests in

sidered Important. Many of the new

Young Turks, who followed the proces

Mehemmed's First Speech.
In receiving a deputation from the
national Assembly subsequently Me
hemmed said: '
..ll1 f.m P!easeJ to become the first con
stitutional sovereign. Doubtless my
successor will improve upon me, but
you may rely upon my aolng my best.
I also have suffered oppression, and can

country."
When the Assembly deputation ar

Shk-lTl-Islam was handed to AH DJevad

to Abdul Hamid, who. in an Inner apart

Bey tried to gain admittance by knock
ing and. after this was continued for 15
minutes, the door was opened and Abdul
Hamid appeared. He accepted the fetva
without comment.
The deputation was then ushered into
.1T-pre!"nce and tna spokesman said:
You no longer reign over us "
Abdul Hamid gave a deep sigh of re
lief on being informed that no designs
were entertained against his life.

Protesting that It was premature to
address him as "Your Majesty." the

"I am glad to see you. You English

nation. My enemies have slandered me.
They said I was a madman, bordering
on Imbecility, and they Bhut me up for

EY FOR TUFT TOUR
TAWX'EY PROMISES TAFT THAT
HE WILL GET FUNDS.
California Congressman Thinks No
Difficulty Will Be Met in Pro-
curing Appropriation.
WASHINGTON. April 27.-Representa-11,8
Tawney, chairman of the House
committee on appropriations, talked with
President Taft today on the latter's pro
posed trip to the West this Summer, and
at the conclusion of the interview said
he would produce a bill before the House
appropriating 5,000 for the President's
traveling expenses during the coming
fiscal year.
Mr. Tawney said a false impression had
gone abroad that he was opposed to such
a measure. He said he did not know
until today definitely that President Taft
desired to go West In the Summer, and
to take a run up to Alaska one portion
of the United States territory upon which
Mr. Taft has not yet set foot. No Presi
dent of the United States has ever vis
ited Alaska In fact, and Mr. Taft is anx
ious to learn at first hand Just what con
ditions are in that far northern territory
Mr. Tawney said today he had no
doubt that the measure he prepared would
pass the House without objection. If
unanimous consent could not be secured
however, the bill might be called up
under a special rule. Already in the Sen
ate several propositions to set aside J" 5 -000
for the President's traveling ex
penses are pending, and no trouble Is ex
pected in getting the appropriation
through that body.
