THE sULTAN's PoLICT-sTUSNING EFFECT ON
HIS MINISTER'S.
LONDON, September 14.-Among the
peace conditions proposed is one that Prince
Milan shall go to Constantinople to pay
homage to the Sultan. No mention is made
OF Bosnia or Montenegro in the conditions.
The Sultan, in rejecting the proposition and
referring it again to the Grand Council OF
the East, said it was necessary to make
friends and show England that no more afro
cities would occur. The war should be
brought to close as soon as possible, Tur-
key giving fair conditions. II his present adj
vices were unable to effect this he would
find others who could. The effect Of this
allocutlon was stunning, especially to the
Grand Vizier, who has kept his room ever
since. The absence OF the Grand Vizier is
considered hint to his younger colleagues
to lose no time in acting on the ideas Of the
Sultan. They will thus avert the danger
threatening all. Much dependence is placed
on Mahmond Damod, the Sultan's brother
in-law, on whose advice it is supposed the
Sultan mainly acts.
