The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-11-10

LONDON, Nov. 9.-(Copyrighted,
1895, by the Associated Press.)-The po-
litical 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 be-
slowing decorations for good ser
vices" upon the Turkish officials who
are held responsible for the recent out
RACES in Armenia. The British Med
fterranean fleet near the Dardanelles,
is being strongly reinforced; Italian
warships are said to be ready to assist
those of Great Britain in an emer-
gency, and the division of the French
fleet, which cruises in the Levant in
winter, will start for those waters i'm
mediately, a month earlier than usual.
\ Latest Alarms.
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 have sent an ul-
timatum 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 vii
lagos and littering the fields with the
s<Ta6ies Of men, women and children.
u 1t is not astonishing under these cir
Dcu, instances, that the stock market
closed very fat today, that the CONT
mental bourSeS were in a panicl1y con-
oition and that there was a general
decline in foreign funds.
A Crisis Sure.
Every indication joints to the fact
that the affairs of Turkey are ap-
preaching a crisis and it is significant
that only two solutions of the difficulty
are discussed by the European
press-the entire Acknowledgement of
Turkey or the 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.
The final stage of the diplomatic
pressure was reached when Germany,
Austria and Italy, which had hitherto
stood aloof, Joined the other powers in
menacing note which has lust been
presented to the sultan. The next step
h Will undoubtedly be g conference of
Nhe representatives Of the great pow
ers, which will discuss not merely the
administration of Armenia, but the
fate of the Turkish empire. The pow
ers are in complete unison. and this
fact is grasped everywhere. except at
the Gildiz kiosh. for the sultan. in an

The Great Strike.
Then there is the great shipbuflding
strike at Belfast and on the Clyde to
trouble the British mind This strug-

fairly under way. On the Clyde 1000
