at Russia.


LONDON, Nov. 9.-The political out
look 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 decora-
tions for ''good services" upon Turkish
officials who are held responsible for the
recent outrages in Armenia. The British
Mediterranean fleet near the Dardanel-
les is being strongly reinforced. italian
warships are said to be ready to assist
those of Great Britain in the emergency.
and the division of the French feet
which cruised in the Levant in winter
will start for those waters Immediately,
a 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 proportions. The
rebels are said to be armed with rifles
of Russian manufacture and their leader
is reported to haYe sent an ultimatum to

these circumstances that the London

that the affairs of Turkey are approach
ing a crisis, and it is significant that
only two solutions of the difficulty are
discussed by the European press, the
entire dismemberment of Turkey or the
deposition of the sultan. The powers
are now showing they are no longer to
be hoodwinked by the sultan's promises,
which are never intended to be kept.
The final stage of diplomatic pressure
was reached when Germany, Austria
and Italy which had hitherto stood aloof,
Joined the other powers in menacing
note which has just been presented to the
sultan.
The next step will undoubtfully be a
conference of representatives of the great
the administration of Armenia, but the
fate of the Turkish empire. The powers
are in complete unison.
Then there is great building strike
at Belfast on the Clyde to trouble the
British mind. This struggle between
capital and labor is now fairly under
way. On the Clyde 1000 engineers are
idle and 800 are out of work at Belfast.
The Engineers society called out on
Thursday morning the engineers on the
Clyde. The result is that nine big yards
on the Clyde are idle. The men claim
they can hold out for ten years if neces-
sary, as the society has 81 100000 in
funds, and by levy of II cents weekly
on each member the officers of the soci-
ETY. can give the strikers 81 week as
long as the strike lasts.
sNARLING AT RUSSIA
LONDON, Nov. 9.-At the lord mayors
banquet tonight Lord Salisbury was the
principal speaker. The only passages
which could be construed as aggressive
were his illusions to the East. Evident
ly referring to the recent reports in re-
gard to Russia, the premier said:

be made as regards war on commerce in
that direction, and we may look with
