THE GREEK PATRIARCH AND THE
SULTAN.

When danger is at hand Turkish
rulers become very tolerant. The Pa
triarch, who exercises control over the
mem bers of the Greek Church in Tur-
key, recently issued an encyclical letter
favorable to the interests of the Porte.
His Holiness, as he is called, was re-
warded for this timely service by a
special invitation to Yeldiz Kiosk, one
Of the Sultan's summer palaces, and
was there treated with unwonted
honors. Instead Of entering by
a small back-door, which is
thought good enough even for
Grand Viziers, he was admitted by the
principal entrance, usually reserved for
the Sultan himself. Kiamil Bey, Off
cially styled "Introducer iof Ambassa-
DORIS" met his holiness at the door and
ushered him, with Mr.. zarifi, into the
Imperial presence. There, he was not
kept standing in the ordinary fashion,
but was, by a very rare act Of conde-
scension, requested to take seat.
Before the audience was over, His
Majesty himself, with his own Imperial
hand, took out the frst-class Order of
the Osmanll-the highest of Turkish
decorations-and requested Kiamil Bey
to place 1t round the patriarchal neck.
A round thousand pounds in Turkish
gold-not paper-was next transferred
to the patriarchal pocket. The money,
it is but proper to add, was not given as

The market opened quiet, with only a limited
inquiry, and continued inanlmate' throughout the
day, but, as two buyers took together $50 bales,
among fivs brokers. Notwithstanding the decline
at Liverpool and New York, prices were no

a mere gift, but as o contribution to-
wards the cost Of rebuilding the patri-
arch palace, destroyed by the recent fire
at Phamar.
The conversation between his majesty
and his holiness seems to have been as
interesting as 1t was amicable. The
Sultan stated with imperial frankness
that he had nothing to do with the re-
ligion of his subjects; that he left every
man to settle this between God and his
conscience, but that he was deeply in
terested In having them we'll governed,
and that he trusted the Patriarch would
report freely any cases of misgovern-
ment and oppression that came under
his notice as head of the Greek com
munity. His holiness replied that, so
far as Constantinople itself went, he
had no reason to complain Of the treat
ment Of his Christian flock by the secu-
lar arm, but that in the provinces acts
Of injustice and oppression occurred,
for which he found 1t hard to get hear
ing or redress.
The Sultan received this candid state
ment very graciously, and expressed his
difficulties and anxieties of war, it was
impossible for him to keep a proper
watch upon the conduct of the provin-
cial Governors, but that as soon as peace
was restored he would take every care to
retain in office only the good. In con-
clusion, His Majesty expressed hope
that his Holiness would consider the
gates Of the Imperial palace always
open to him. The London Times cor

says the Patriarch fastened to church
and offered up in person. with the first
class Order OF the Osmanli round his
neck, prayer for the long life and hap
piness of His Mussulman Majesty.

Is only known that he is postmaster at

certain that he is Democrat and that
