philadelphia Press Constantinople Letter.
There are probably not over three
estates in Constantinople footing up
more than 100000. The largest is
that Of the Camodo family, Italian
Jews. They perhaps count up $l5,-
100000 worth Of property, mostly real
estate. Then come Count Corpi, also
an Italian, and Chrisitaki Effendi, a
Greek. Perhaps four or five more
foot up over 81 100000, but the aver
age OF the wealthy" men cannot be
worth more than 100000. These are
mostly Greek and Turkish merchants,
very few bankers. 1t is very notice
able how the wealth Of the Arminian
community has declined. The old
families have died out, or the heirs
have speculated or gambled the prop,
erty away. They are still, to a great
degree, the local bankers, but few il
any, have a high position. The ele-
ment that is most difficult to estimate
is the Turkish Pashas of the old
class, Many of them are reported TO
be immensely wealthy, owning large
tracts of land In tho city and country,
and not neglecting strong anchors 10
windward in the shape Of European
securities. 1t Is true that they keep
up very large establishments, but there
is no certainty that there is anything
to back them. Some time since Ria
Pasha, the famous Minister of War
during the Crimean war, and said TO
be the richest man in COnstantinople,
died, His vast estates we're found to
be heavily mOrtgsged, and his sons
had difficulty in raising enough ready
money for ordinary expenses.
The only substantial financial
establishment in the city is the
Imperial Ottoman Bank. 1t is popu.
lsrly supposed to be much hampered
by its dealings with the government,
and it has many claims, many Of
which are moro than doubtful but,
according to one of the directors, if
they should lose everything that the
government owes them, they would
still have paid up capital of e2,5OO,.
600. The Director General is an
Englishman, the second Frenchman,
the third a German, the Inspector an
American, the Controller an English.

Of every nationality Greek,

the interior cities. It's manageme 1t is
shrewd and eminently safe. Its chief
rival is the Credit Lyonnais, an enter
prising concern that miYts mercantile
and hankins interests IL a way that,
here at least, does not greatly inspire
confidence.

Diplomatic PunctiIio.
81. James Ga,st,e


Chinese punctilio is trying to most
Europeans, and many will rejoice to
hear of the triumph Of the German
Minister, Herr Won Brandt, over the
Tsung.i Yamen. A German ship was
plundered by Chinese pirates about a
year ago The provincial authorities
refused redress. The matter was
brought before the Yamen and clearly
proved. The German Minister then
said to Wang alien, now in disgrace
for bribery, TO save delay send tel
egram. Letters take so long" Where
upan Wang, who did not like the duty
at all, said: Impossible; not even 10
the darkest days OF the Chon dynasty
were kilograms sent. Deliberation is
necessary, and the discussions between
our two nations must be ceremOnious.
Besides, l cannot consent to agitate
the minds of the local officers by a
sudden order. Letters shall be pre-
pared aud sent aud all will go well.
Allow me to tell Your Excellency
that patience is a quality of superior
man." Herr Won Brandt took the
lesson and bided his time.
This came in the beginning Of
the year. A messenger arrived at the
Consulate in hot haste to announce
from the Yamen: A German frigate
has landed to guard on Chinese soil at
Swallow. This is an unheard OF irregu-
larity Be good enough to wire in
Stantly to the Captain, telling him to
take himself, his guard and his frigate
out Of that, and the Yamen will settle
the rest with you here" To which
the German Minister replied: ITO
refuse the Yamen'S request gives me
indescribable anguish; but to send a
