Bat a Consul Osco Dlsde tiio Famous Turk
ish Givcry or Kcspect Him.
Some tinio ago thcro died in Adrian
ople one of tho most famous and origi
nal of tho subjects of tho sultan of Tur
key. Ho was Hadshi Achmed Izzet,
pasha governor general of the valayet,
or province, bordering on tho Black sea.
Hadshi Izzet was an ideal Turk of tho
old school, a strange mixturo of Solo
monliko wisdom and childish foolish
ness, energy and apathy, cruelty and
mere-, truth and deceit, generosity and
avarice.
In tho oyea of tho ruler and contem
poraries he was n hero, and it was with
a purpose clear to many that his majes
ty appointed him governor general of
Adrianople and kept him for as many
years at the head of that important prov
ince tho gateway of the Ottoman em
pire. Tho pasha was born more than 90
years ago and rapidly climbed to places
commensurate with his namo and the in
fluence of his family. Atthetimo of his
death he was tho dean of tho Turkish
viziero.
I Almost countless aro tho anecdotes
told of tho pasha, who was known and
respected from the Turkish Dan to the
Turkish Beersheba. His hatred of the
"Christian dogs," as ho always called
tho people of tho west, was boundless.
It was invariably his custom, when
forco of circumstances obliged him to
give his hand to a " dog, " to wash it
upon withdrawal while in, the presence
of his guest. It is said that" Hadshi
Izzet lr,id aside his habit only once.
1 Ono day a consul of ono of the greatest
European countries was obliged to seek
an audience with the saltan's lieutenant
in governmental affairs. Ho had al
. ready been insulted onco by tho pasha's
; washing his hands after the greeting
' and determined that he should not be so
treated a second time if he could possi
bly prevent it. ThVconsul was a thor
ough master of the Tnrkish tongue, and
for this reason had a great advantage
over many of his colleagues.
When the servant of Hadshi Izzet re
ceived him at tho pqlaco threshold, hp
spoko as follows in a voice which ho
know would reach the ears of tho gov
ernor in his office near by:
"Go and tell thy master that I wish
to speak to him. Say to him that I
shall also do him tho honor to givo him
my hand, but shall crack my hat over

Washington, March 6. A somewhat
amusing episode enlivened the senate
proceedings Tuesday inaugurated by
benator Berry s personal explanation. A
New York newspaper has included him
in a group of portraits of nine Democratic
senators whom it charged with being
"obstructionists ' to the tariff bill. Mr.
i Berry denied he had ever been anything
but an earnest advocate of the bill, and
on all occasions had advised its speedy
report to the senate without modifica
tion. His explanation was followed
by explanations from Messrs. Faulkner,
Harris, McLaurin and Morgan, which
led to much amusement in the senate !

Washington, March Y. An exciting
and interesting debate was precipitated
in the senate Wednesday by Mr. Harris'
motion for the second reading of the
