A TREACHEROUS MONARCH.

British Government Advises Them
to Settle the Big Strike With
out Delay.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The political
outlook in the East became more.
critical and complicated during the
latter part of the week. The sultan
seems to be defying the powers in
bestowing decorations for good
services" upon the Turkish officials
who are held responsible for the re-
cent outrages in Armenia; the Brit
ish Mediterranean fleet near the Dar-
danelles is being strongly reinforced;
Italian WarShipS are said to be ready
to assist those of Great Britain in
an emergency, and the division of
the French fleet which cruises in
the Levant in winter will start for
those waters Immediately, month
earlier than usual.
The latest alarming reports from
the far East are that the rebellion
of. the Dungans in the Northwest of
China is assuming alarming proper
tions. The rebels are said to be
armed with rifles of Russian manu-
facture, and their leader is reported
to have sent an ultimatum to the
imperial government at Pekin,
threatening to march on that capital
if a favorable answer is not received.
The imperial troops are stated to be
pillaging towns and villages and lit
tering the fields with the bodies of
men, women and children. 1t is not
astonishing, under these circum-
stances, that the stock market closed
very fiat today; that the continental
bourses were in a panicky condition,
and that there was a general decline
in foreign funds.
Every indication points to the fact
that the affairs of Turkey are ap-
: preaching crisis and it is significant
that only two solutions of the diff
Guilty are discussed by the European
press-the entire dismemberment of
Turkey or deposition Of the sultan.
The powers are now showing that they
will no longer be hoodwinked by the
sultan's promises, which. are never
intended to be kept.
ALL ARE IN UNISON.
The final stage of the diplomatic
pressure was reached when Ger
many, Austria and Italy, which had
hitherto stood aloof, joined the 9TH
er powers in a menacing note, which
has just been presented to the sultan.
The next step will undoubtedly be a
conference of the representatives of
the great powers, which will discuss
not merely the administration of
Armenia, but the fate of the Turkish
empire The powers are in COM
plete unison, and this fact is grasped
everywhere, except at the Yildfz
Kiosk, for the sultan, in appointing
the Hall Rifat cabinet, composed of
puppets and reactionists, is simply
courting ruin.
There is also the great sfipbuild-
ing strike ait Belfast and on the
Clyde to trouble the British mind.
This struggle between capital and Ia
bor is now fairly under way. On the
Clyde 1000 engineers are idle, and
1,500 are out of work at Belfast. The
engineers society replied by calling
out, on Thursday, all the engineers

Belfast masters. The result is that
nine big yards on the Clyde are idle,
including the Barclays, Inglis, Hen
dersons, J. & G. Thompson's and the
Fairfield company. There is little
sign today on the mems side of yield
ing. They claim that they can hold
out for ten years if necessary, as the
society has $1,0OO,000 in funds, and
by levy of cd weekly on each MEM
ber the officers of the society can
give the striker fl weekly as long
as the strike lasts. One important
feature of the struggle is the fact
that two yards, the Thompsons and
the Fairfields, which closed in SYM
pathy with the Belfast employers,
have government work which they
were asked to expedite. This work
is now at a standstill, and many of
the newspapers strongly denounce
the agreement which so interferes
