The Sultan Objects.

At Constantinople the Sultan Monday
evening made a final reply to the applica-
ton of United States Minister Terrell for
permission to have Consul Jewett make
an independent inquiry into Armenian
troubles. The Sultan positively declined
to allow the Consul to accompany the
commission. The refusal was not uneX-
pected at Washington. The reluctance
of the Turkish Government is accounted
for by the formidable proportions to which
the agitation in the United States in favor
of intercession on behalf of the Armeni-
ans in Turkey has attained.
