The Armenian Question.

The Afmenl6n 0uestlOns
 The massacres and persecution of the Christian Armenians by the Mohamme- dan Kurds have aroused throughout the Christian world . strong sentiment of indignation at the atrocities and impati- encs at the apathy of the Turkish au- thorities and their failure to prevent the constantly recurring outrages, and inn patience that there should be no inter- ference by any Christian power. There are, however, many facts and conditions, some of which are not generally known, which account for the present state of things and make the swing of relief to the Armenians difficult problem.
 In the first place there is the we'll known jealousy between England and Russia. Russia is determined to have Constantinople and large slice of -Asiatic Turkey besides, and England would go to war with her to prevent 1t. Another difficulty in regard to protect. ing the Armenlans arises from the facr that they are not in one section, but are scattered throue hont the vast Turk ish em mpire. Then the character of the country (rurkey in Asia) is unfavorable for military operations. It has been de. vsstated to such an extent that foreign army could with difficulty be maintain cd iu it. Besides the Kurds would re- tire to the mountains where they could maintain guerrilla warfare against re- gular troops indefinitely. Then again there would be danger that the arrival of foreign troops would sronse such a crusade against the Christians scattered about among the Moslems, that there would not be any left to protect by the time relief could reach them. But per haps the most potent reason of all lsI the feeling that any attempt to partition the Turkish empire among other powers would result in general European war. Altogether. the correction of the abuses of Turkish misrule and incapa- city to govern seems remote.
