Mr.. Eugene Collins. A petition will be prA-
scented, signed by Earl Russell, as patron OF
the league in aid OF the Christians OF Tur-
key, recitiDg that the Porte mas been r-ee
from all foreign interferences for the last
twenty years has received financial suppore
70 the amount or a billion dollars; vet now
ottoman Integrity is a delusion. England's
support has only resulted In br nging misery
and want into English homes and riyetiny
the chains more firmly about the necks OF
The Porte's Christian subjects. During the
same twenty years the Portes reform edictx
nave remained ineffectuau. All Europe
sympathiZes with the oppressed Curistfans.
while England stands alone I'm supporting
their opprek sors. The religious feelings of a
great part OF the English people are shockef
AT being made 10 appear before the world as
the uphoders OF Islamism, thus meriting tina
taunt that their Christianity is only a pro.
fession and not a belief. and their love of
liberty nothing but an empty boast. Tina
petitioners therefore pray that Lord Derby.
IN the interest OF peace, will withhold
support, both moral ahd political, from the
sultan's government, and permit the Cnris-
tians of Europe and Turkey 20 carve out
their future destiny without any external
Interference whatever.
