carry out the scheme of reforms and
counted upon England's generosity not
to increase the difficulties by encourag-
ing the revolutionary Armenians, who,
instead of being grateful for the con-
cessions that had been made, were in
open revolt throughout Asia.
A dispatch to the Standard from
Vienna says it is believed that the
changes in the Turkish ministry are
intended to appease Mahonedan dis
affection, and are not a demonstration
against England, although Kiamil
Pasha, the outgoing grand vizar, was
the most pro-English of the pasha.
THRILLING WITH TERRELL.
The Daily News Constantinople cor
respondent, whose sympatnies l'an
toward the Armenian side, admits that
the Moslem attacks have aroused
such a spirit of opposition and despair
among the Armenians that, instead of
allowing themselves to be killed
quietly, as at Tredizond and Akhissaf-
they commenced the attack at Zeitoun,
Erzeroun and elsewhere, besides max
ing an ill-advised and mischievous
demonstration in Constantinople.
'It will take years." this corrres-
pondent continues, ito revive conf
idence and trade and commerce lost
through the present anarchy, due to
the deplorable weakness and inaction
Of the government"
AS an instance of this the correspond
ent cites the fact that A. w. Terrell,
United States minister, has been trying
for two months to obtain permission
for the United States consul at A1eppo
to see an American citizen of Armenian
origin, who has been sent to prison
there for life. 1t is pointed out that
Minister Terrell has secured orders
from the two grand visiers to the local
authorities at Aleppo to grant this per-
mission, which has either been re-
scindsd before the consul had an oq-
portunity to act upon it, or has been
disobeyed by the local governor, the
desired result being evaded rather than
refused.
This is the mere remarkable" the
Daily News says because Mr..
Terrell has considerable personal in
1uence at the Porte. Yet now, after
demanding the dismissal of the vail at
Aleppo, or that the Porte itself should
assume responsibility for refusal, he
has only succeeded in getting an order
for the prisoner to be brought here"
As already noted, Kiamil Pasha, the
retiring grand viZier, has been ap-
pointed vail OF Aleppo to succeed the
official who has held that place during
Mr.. Terrell's efforts to secure an in
terview with the prisoner.
TWO THOUSAND DEAD.
The only hopeful sign in the out
look, according to the opinion of the
Daily News correspondent, is the re-
port that the troops at Erzeroum,
under Shakir Pacha high commits
sioner to enforce the Armenian re-
forms, have attacked a Maslem mob
which had formed with the purpose
of doing mischief to the Armenians.
eff this is confirmed" the CORES
pondent thinks, ''it will show that
Turkey really desires that the mass
acres shall cease
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily News
says it Is reported that unless there
is an amelioration in the condition of
Turkish affairs Russia will occupy
Armenia simultaneously with the
holding of the European conference.
A cipher letter from Erzeringhian,
headquarters of the notorious Zekki
Pasha, commander of the troops at
the time of the Sassoun massacre,
states that 1000 Armenians have been
killed during the late disturbances.
