CoNsTANTINoPLE, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Nov. 81. - The six representatives of
the powers held a conference to discuss
certain supplementary measures which
will be recommended to the porte for
the restoration of order in Asia Minor and
it is understood that some form of COM

the patriarch to appeal to the different
countries of Europe for money, food and
clothing. as it seems next to impossible
for the Turkish government to do any
thing effective in the way of assisting the
distressed people.
The patriarch was Gesirous of calling in
person upon the minister of the interior
and other government officers for the prlr-
pose of placing certain complaints before
them, and to tender his services in the
work of relief and reform. But, 1t ap-

was unable to issue such an encyclical, for
it would practically. admit that the de-
mands of the Armenians were not justi-
fled.
Consequently the patriarch made an ap-
peal to the ambassadors, placed before
them the strongest evidence he could pro-
cure regarding the massacrcs, and begged
them to use their influence to put an end
to this condition of affairs. He was as
sured that everything possible under the
circumstances would be and was being

AMEER IN A RAGE.
Gable from London Says He Is
Much "Annoyed."
HOW BE VENTS HIS ANNOYANCE

Many of His Subjects Burned Alive, Others
Imprisoned, While Others Think 1t y
Good Time To Emigrate-An Because His
Son Nazrullah Failed in His Mission to
England-The Son Himself "On the List"
and Facing Ianishment.
LONDON, Nov. 2l.-The Evening News
publishes a letter from Huetta, a small
town of Beloochistap near the Afghanistan
frontier. which states that the ameer
OF Afghanistan is greatly annoyed at tho
failure Of Nazrullah Khan, his second son,
to arrange tor u permanent .Afghanistan
representative at London during his re.
cent visit to England. In consequence Of
the rage of the ameer Of Afghanistan
many persons have been burned alive, a
great number of his subjects have been
imprisoned, while many others have fled
from the country. A notable who ac-
companied Prince Nazrullah on the &C.
casion of his visit to England. named
kotwal, is to he tortured as soon as he
arrives at Cabul.
Nazrullah May BE Banisl,ed.
1t is expected that Nazruliah Khan him
self will be punished, and that possibly he
will be banished from Afghanistan. The
visit of NaZrullah Khan, the second son Of
the amcer of Afghanistan, was one of the
features of social and political life in Lon
don last summer. The ameer himself was
invited to pay n visit to the queen of Eng
land, but his health would not permit him
to accept the invitation. At first it was
proposed that his eldest son, Prince Hab-
11ah ch n ;,,St
but the amecr having virtually handed
over the reins of government to the heir
apparent, decided that he could not allow
him to leave Cabul. The duty of repre-
senting the ameer of Afghanistan then
devOlved upon the second son, Prince
Nazrullah. .,
Cost the Ameer Much Wealth.
No expense was spared in selecting pres
ents for the royalties of Europe, fully two
lakhs of rupees being expended at Cash
mere for the purchase of rich shawls and
| other costly presents. In addition to this
large sums were paid out for the purpose
of giving all the crowd of his sons fol-
lowers suits of clothing, money, etc.,
suitable to rank. The eccentricities of
Prince Nazrullah amused ard astonished
all Europe. 1t was expected upon his re.
turn to Afghanistan that he would wed
the daughter of wealthy chief. But this
part of the programme seems to have
been disregarded owing to the disfavor
existing because of the failure of the po-
litical end of his mission.
Costly to the British Also.
One estimate was made showing that
his few weeks visit to London cost the
English government 5000 for entertain
ments and travelling expenses, exclusive
Of the large bills brought in by the pro-
prietors of the hotels where the prince
stopped because of the peculiar methods
