THE INSTRUCTION ONLY KEPT DOWN
THROUGH FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
LONDON, May 6.--Whilc the general poll
teal situation il unchanged and the course
of negotiations between 81. Petersburg and
London continues uneventful there is no
lack of important incidents at Constantine
pie. A correspondent says another palace
revolution is threatened. The conspirators
for the overthrow Of the Sultan Abdul Ha-
mid and the accession of Murad or some
body else actually fixed on day last week
for the attempt, but fear Of Russian inter.
ference caused change of their plans, and
the conspirators say they must wait until
the Russians go. 1t is difficult to say what
would he the attitude of the Russians in
case of revolution. but there is great dan.
ger that Russian and English troops would
come into collision in such an event. Eng
lish influence is now believed to he upper
most ia the cOunscls of the Sultan, who be-
tween Layard, the British Ambassador,
pulling one way and the Russians the otlfW,
has anything but pleasant time. A ma
jority of the Pashas and all OF
the late Ministers are against the
Sultan, and the people are sullen
and Disconnected. There have been violent
speeches against the tax on bread, which is
now at famine prices. The Pashas are all
ready to fly at each others Threats. Osman
Pasha, for instance, is cursed or all sides by
the other Pashas as as II fool and by some
as traitor. Without either English or
Russian support the Sultan could not stay
On the throne another day. The Sultan
Abdul Hamid succeeded Murad, his elder
brother who was deposcd August 81, 1876
The same correspondent says Sadyk Pasha
is certain not to remain chief Of the Minis
try long, though it is difficult to see what
English influence would gain by his over
throw, if it is true. as all correspondents at
the Turkish capital agree, that the prcscn,
Cabinet manitests British tendencies even
more frankly than their predecessors; such
friendly manifestations may be blind, how
ever.
TIE TURKS DETERMINED.

the leaders and insurgcnt bands of Thcssaly
