Lord Salisbury went to visit the

1t is evident important decisions have
been arrived at regarding eastern af-
fairs, since tomorrow mornings Post
will publish an article evidently in
spired by the foreign office. The ar
ticle is understood to indicate that
the prime minister has decided that
the utmost effort must be made to
maintain the integrity of the Turkish
empire, and therefore efforts must in
the first place be directed to restoring
order in the disturbed districts. Con-
tinuing, the article says:
Concerning the Sultan.
''For the moment all thought of
coercing the sultan should be laid
aside. 1t cannot be doubted that he
will defer to the wishes of the powers
as soon as circumstances permit him
to do so. 1t is difficult to apportion
the blame justly between the Turks
and the Christians, and it is believed
on good authority that the disorders
are partly due to the careless order of
the sultan, who commanded the pro-
Vincial governors not to modest the
Armenians while they were quiet, or
if they revolted to eXterminate them.
This order has been interpreted with
much generosity by the Turks, while
the Armenians themselves are blame
able for fomenting disorders.
Delaying Reforms.
'"The ambassadors of the foreign
powers in general and Sir Philip Cur
RE in particular have acquired a DO
sition enabling them to give important
support to the Turkish government
at this critical time. Sir Philip Cur
rie's instructions are such as TO Justify
him in delaying the execution of re-
forms until the authority by which
they are to be carried out has recov-
cred from temporary weakness. At
the present moment any naval demon
stration in the Turkish waters or any
undue pressure on the Turkish GOV
eminent can only help precipitate a
crisis from which Turkeys friends can
hope to gain nothing and her enemies
everything"
The article IN the Post concludes by
expressing the hope that the anbassa-
doris viii be able to place more conf
denee in the sultan's ministers
and that he can be induced
to abandon his personal govern
ment. but adds that Sir Phillip
Currie and his colleagues must remem-
per that they are not only apostles Of
humanity but also guardians of peace.
Hon. Francis Seymour Stevenson,
NJ, P, president of the Anglo-Armenian
association, says: 'The sultan has
lately developed symptoms of a mono
mania hardly distinguishable from in
sanity, and it is not unlikely that he
VIII meet with the same fate as met
his brother the former sultan, and
thus simplify the work of Europe"
Audience to Austria.
a dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantinople says: THE sultan gave an
audience to the Austrian ambassador
