LONDON, Sept. IS.-The pathetic spec
tacle of denying the Jews admission to
Palestine was witnessed last week at the
port of Jaffa. The exiled Jews had TO go
back without being permitted TO set foot
on shore. The Jews then applied at vari-
Gus ports, but were rejected at all. They
were then conveyed to Cyprus.
In the city of Jerusalem the Turkish au-
thorities are enforcing regulations Calcu-
lated to annoy the Jews and induce them
to leave. Nevertheless an English tourist
writing from Palestine says the soil of the
country is ample for the support of large
population and that virtually no attempt
is made TO work it. The same writer
thinks that the sultan would readily grant
the Jews access to the holy land, provided
he received a large sum of money for the
privilege, and that be will not until then
relax the existing situation.

TIE pARpANELLEs INCIDENT.

LONDON. Sept 1S-The sultan has deem
ed the moment opportune 10 emphasize
the entente between the porte and the
Franco-Russian alliance by comforting
upon NJ. Ribot. the French foreign minis
ter. the grand Gordon of the Order of Os-
mamie. and upon Nine. Ribot the decora-
ton of Nichani Chefakit an order for
ladies founded by the sultan himself. The
hestowal of these distinctions was an
nounced to the diplomatic circle In Con-
stantinople tonight. Associated with this
news the British foreign Office has received
advices from Sir William White, British
ambassador at Constantinople, to the
effect that Said Pasha had sent him a re-
port from the governor of Smyrna on the
Afitvlene incident, with a note reciting in
urgent terms the porte's request for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Sir William does not mention the re-
ceipt of any information concerning SigrI
from Admiral Lord Kerr, on which
response ought to be based. Delaying
reply tends to confirm the belief that Ad-
nairal Kerr acted under orders, and that 1t
was not chance that caused the maneuvers.
The admiralty is known 10 have received
report from Admiral Kerr, telegraphed
through Constantinople, presumably
through the medium of the British en-
bassy. If Admiral Kerr acted under in
structions Lord Salisbury's explanation
may rest upon the fact that the porte had
long accorded the privilege of maneuvcr-
ing and drilling upon the islands OF the
archipelago.
Whatever the nature of the response, it
viii not be apologize. The Standard, in
IN article directly inspired, if not written
bv Salisbury's private secretary, puts his
position explicitly. 1t says: 1T is advls-
nble that the whole world should know

pedients for meeting the difficulty"
