Dolma Baghche Palace, and drove to the War Office, where he was proclaimed Sultan, and a salute of 101 guns announced the momentous news to the fickle population of the capital, which cheers the new monarch whenever he appears in public quite as enthusiastically as it had cheered Abdul Hamid a few days earlier. Throughout the reign of Abdul Hamid, his brother Reshad lived as a State prisoner in the Dolma Baghche Palace, guarded by Prætorian troops, and jealously prevented from holding intercourse with the outside world. After thirty-three years of luxurious but depressing isolation, Prince Reshad now changes places with his elder brother, the former going from captivity to a throne, the latter from a throne to captivity. The new Sultan is an amiable man, beloved by his entourage, and he has already produced a favourable impression on such foreigners as have been received by him.
Many are the difficulties and dangers that face Turkey's new monarch, and the ardent patriots among his subjects who are striving to bring about the regeneration of their country. The Young Turks have been tried and strengthened by adversity, and look with a brave confidence to the future of the Ottoman Empire. These men deserve to succeed, and they have many of the qualities that command success.
