Russian Pressure.
! LONDON, May ia Berlin telegram
| to the Daily NeJO8 states that a tre-
mendous pressure has been brought to
bear on the conference there in favor of
Russian armed intervention, and imme-
| disUely, sgainst COnstsntinOple. The
| London Times, reviewing the proceed
| ings at the conference, says that the an
| nOuncement of the compiete agreement
between the three imperial powers is
satisfactory, but ss it sppesrs that sll
the plans OF positive action are rejected,
and that the powers are about to tender
their good advice again to the sultan
and the insurgents. We think it to be
premature TO thank the chancelIOrs fer
3 settlement Of the eastern question.
SmOthered Feeling in COnstantfnOpIe
LONDON, May 1.-THE Vienna CORE
sDOndent of the Times SAYS that the re-.
cent ministerial changes at Corstanti-

OF five thousand sOcmen, or MussuI men
theOlogians, who sent q deputatiOn to
the Sultan requesting the removal OF the
Grand ViZier and the Scheik ul Islam
Both officers were removed on this de-
msnd. Large crowds ssse mbled at the
installation Of the new Vizier, which so
alarmed the christians that they asked
protection from foreign ambassadors.
The QeW ViZier, however, has pledged
himself to maintain order. The Russian
telegrsphic agency announces that the
Russian corvette SOkOl will sail from
NickOlaief for COnstsntinOple, where

SaIOnIea.
The scene OF the fatal riot between |
christians and Turks, reported by tele- !
graph, is a city and seaport OF European |
Turkey, the next place in commercial |
Importance after COnstantinOple. 1t is
situated at the northeastern extremity /
OF the Gulf Of SsiOnica, and is the seat
of an OttomOn department government.
The population numbers about eighty
thousand persons, the largest proportion
being Israelites; most OF the remainder
Turks, Greeks and Franks. The city |
has very imposing appearance. 1t
stands by q hill slope, surrounded by |
whitewashed and painted walls, and it
is ornamented by numerous minsrets
and dUmes and laid out with gardens Of
cypress. It is commanded by 8 large
citadel, named the Seven Towers. One
of its gates was built in honor OF Angus

the citadel is triumphal arch,
erected under Marcus Aurelius.
Several Of the mosques have
been originally pagan temples; one,
which is wholly unlujuTed, was a Tenn
pie Of Venus The mosque OF st. Sophia
is a handsome model OF that st COrstaE-
tinople. Salonica has large trade in
British produce. The exports consist
chiefly Of wheat, barley, maize, wool,
spoDges, raw silk, tobacco and slaves.
