Scope and content
Report; results of election in Jerusalem mutesariflik. There was one Christian from Jerusalem, but according to secret order of "Union and Progress" he was not elected, no one Jew. Nobody knows which party will join Muslims. There were no disturbances during election. Population didn't show enthusiasm, voting doesn't refer their opinion; it's too ignorant and doesn't understand new rights. Votes were sold for 5 liras. Sender: Russian consul general in Jerusalem A.F. Kruglov; Recipient: Russian ambassador in Constantinople I.A. Zinoviev.
