SALISBURY PROPOSES THE DIS
MEMBERNIENT OF TUR-
KEY.
NO NEW SULTAN WANTED
ONE TURKISH RULER is ABOUT
AS BAD OR GOOD AS AN
OTHER.
KIAMIL PAsHA DISAPPEARS.
The Change of Ministry Not in Fa-
yor With the Other Euro
pean Powers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. s.
There is no change for the better in
the political situation here, unless it
rests on the fact that the Ottoman
bank has advanced to the Turkish
government the sum of $780, 900,
which will enable the new minister
of finance, Sabri Pasha, to provide
for the most pressing needs OF the
government. The latter consist in
fitting out the army reserves, just
called out in the porte's attempt to
make some show of trying to restore
order in Armenia, but there are so
many other demands on the Turkish
treasury at the present moment that
the money just advanced will not go
a long way even if it were placed to
legitimate uses, which is not likely
to be the case. In the best informed
circles here the situation is regarded
as decidedly critical, and important
developments are expected within a
short time The ambassadors of the
powers do not regard the new Turk
ish ministry with favor; it is not eX-
pected to last long, and 1t is thought
that it will be able to do nothing
worth mentioning towards clearing
the political atmosphere. The ru-
mors of palace conspirators continue
to be bruited about. The deposed
sultan, Mohammed Murad, removed
ho q L
legged to be suffering from idiocy, is
once more mentioned as being like
ly candidate for the throne. There
are many who believe he is fully as
sane as the present ruler, Abdul
Madji. Then, of course, the name
of the heir apparent, Mohammed
Reshed, is heard mentioned as likely
to shortly succeed his uncle, the
present sultan, but that report has
been in circulation for months past;
in fact it was said some time ago that
the present sultan had half offered
to resign in favor of Mohammed
Reshed, but the representatives of
the powers did not look on this as
likely to bring any solution of the
complicated situation, and the mat
ter was allowed to drop. The d1fh-
Guilty does not rest in individuals
one sultan is about as bad or good
as another. 1t is the system of gov
ernment in the Turkish empire
which is to blame for all the trou-
BILE and until there is decided
change in this direction there will be
no improvement in the condition of
the Armenians or of the Turks.
EXILE OF KIAMIL.
The appointment of the ex-grand
vizier, Kiamil Pasha, decidedly a
well-meaning man, as vail of Aleppo,
is regarded here is being only an
other way of sending him into exile.
He may not be actually exiled, but
he will not be allowed to return from
Aleppo until it suits the porte. He
is charged with many things, but the
sum and substance of it seems to be
that he has been made scapegoat
for the sins and lack of mercy of
others. The sultan had to do some
thing, so he changed his grand vizier
and turned over his cabinet. He may
have gained some time by SO doing,
but that seems to be about all. In
addition to the exile of Kiamil to
Aleppo it is reported that number
of high personages have been exiled
to Anatoli; but it is difficult to get
at the truth in such matters, as
people reported "exiled'' sometimes
find their way to the bottom of the
Bosphorus.
The Turkish troops are being con-
centrated at Marash for an advance
on Zeitoun so soon as the military
preparations are completed. Further
private reports received here from
Diarbekir estimate the number of
Armenian victims Of the recent mas
sacres at 5000. 1t is believed this
number is in excess of the actual
total of those killed, but there seems
to be no doubt that the victims are
numbered by the thousands.
RASCALLY SULTAN.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The CONSTANT
nop1e correspondent of the Times
says that Kiamil Pasha was dis
missed from the office of grand vizier
by an extensively expressed trade
which was intended to disguise the
fact that he had refused to retain
office, and to cloak the sultan's in
sincerity as to his intentions regard
ing the reforms which have been de-
manded by the powers in armenia,
and also ito cloak his refusal to pro-
claim the reforms by an imperial
ukase. Kiamil was ordered to Alep-
DO forthwith, but was taken sudden
ly with a high fever and bronchitis,
and six physicians declared that he
was unfit for travel. The sultan
thereupon gave permission for the
delay of his departure.
at would be as difficult" says the
Times correspondent. "to conceive
the condition of mind which brought
the sultan to appoint such deplor-
able cabinet as to describe the con-
sternation it has produced every
where. The grand vizier is perhaps
the least Objectionable. His inten-
tions are honest, but his capabilities
are small. Tewfik Pasha is a non
entity. Abdur Rahman and Mem
dukk are couple of fanatics. Mu-
Mrs aptitude for unclean work has,
raised him high in the esteem of the
sultan, and places him facile princeps
at the head of the political spies"
