THE SLIPPERY SULTAN.
A BUTCHER In POWER
Bahri Pashs Puts in Charge Of Turkish
Troops at Aieppo.

10 spite OF the Sultan's profession OF solic.
itude for peace and his apparent anxiety to
restore tranquility, evidenced by the release
Armenian suspects from prison and the pro.
mitigation OF urgent orders. there has occur
red further instance OF manifes, insult to
the powers, especially Great Britain. This
was the appointment OF Bahri Pasha as mill
tary commander in the Aleppo district
This notorious official made himself so
conspicuous by his cruelty TO the Armenians
and maladministration OF his district when
governor OF Van, that British Ambassador
Currie demanded his removal. which was
done only after Infinite trouble. Following
this degradation the Sultan cody gave Eng.
land slap In the face by forgivng the
butcher, and bestowing upon him the decor
alton OF the Order OF the osmanch. Soon
afterwar d II was said that Bahri Pasha was
to be appointed to command the large forces
OF Turkish troops being concentrated at
Mnrash for movement upon Zei,oun, which
Is held by the ArmeniaDs. This report raised
such storm ofindigr ation that the plan was
abandoned.
Now. however, Bahrl Pasha has been ap-
pointed military commander OF the Aleppo
district. The bad impression which this has
produced can hardly be exaggerated. for the
diplomats feel that II will be almost impos-
sibie to prevent him from pursuing the same
tactics at Aleppo as he did at Van.

creased to 80. or 80, allowing for tho Della.
