BRITISH PROrEcToRATE.
II now seems probable that some scheme for q
British protectorate Asiatic Turkey has really
been put forward by the government. The Times re-
turned to the subject yesterday morning, and In a
leading editorial article MISREPRESENTATION

Is THIS ENGLAND?
There must be some permanent centre of force
TO control by its att racti0n the shifting element OF
personal Will caprice. That central force, 1t is
TO be hoped, the Porte will consent to accept ut
our hands, and thus introduce the only principle OF
stability into its government OF which it Is yet
capable"
REFORMS IN TURKEY
The London correspondent OF the Edinburgh
Scotsman says:-"There is little reason to doubt
that our government IS determined to exercise
control in Turkey which will to great extent,
place the actual government in our own hands
Not that the Sultan's authority is to be nterfered
with, but we shall take care that. under new
treaty, reforms and good government shall become
o reality"
TROUBLES OF THE PORTE
The report OF the removal Of Fuad, Osman and
Mukhtar Pachas from their commands before Con-
stantinopc is not confirmed but it Is said that
the Sultan Is suspicious OF them and appointed
Mahmoud Damad Pacha Minister OF War partly for
the purpose OF neut.alizng their influence, al.
though the act Is likely to have the contrary effect
as Mahmoud Is intensely unpopular with the
troops
WHY sADYK WITHDREW.
The Sultan nominated him without consulting
Sadyk Pacha; hence the withdrawal OF the latter
rom the Ministry. Mehemet Rushdi Pacha Sadyks
successor, Is represented to be honest and patri-
otic but too old TO have much influence. He Is
known to be in favor OF alliance with Great
Britain
IS THERE DANGER AT srAMBoUL?
1t is reported that fears are entertained In St
Petersburg OF an outbreak or hostile collision ut
Constantinople. No such apprehenslons are felt In
London. 1t is thought that Russia Is merely bar
gaming for the utmost possible concessions before
the final agreement Is made. Thus, special
despatch from St Petersburg yesterday to the
Daily Neics called attention to Russla's good ieel
ing, evidenced by the appointment OF Prince
Labanon to Constantnople and the departure Of
General Ignatiefr for his estates.
RECALL MIR LAYARD.

A letter to the Daily Netrs from Constantinople,
explaining the recent change OF position made BIZ
the Russian forces, says the country between San

and $1,000 Russians that line have died, mostly

TURKEYS REBELS
A telegram from Constantinople says the COM
missioner OF the Porte reports that the Moham-
medan insurgents number 10000, are well armed
and impregnably located. They refuse to disarm
as the Russians are powerless TO reprcss the ex-
