Reply to the Powers.


LONDON, June 5.-There was much ex-
citemeht in London and at the foreign Office

port of the dispatches confirming the dis
patches of the Associated Press from Con-
stantinople. announcing that the Turkish
government had refused to agree to the
reforms in Armenia, which were demanded
by the representatives of Great Britain,
France and Russia.
All the foreign office officials, including
the secretary of state for foreign affairs,
the Earl of Kimberley, were at their posts
last night. and have assembled again at the
foreign office today. There is strong be-
lief in well informed circles here that the
reply OF the Porte was purpoSely drafted in
Enfavorable terms, in order to gain time.

Consequently, the powers. it's asserted
here, will now address a stronger note to
the Porte. and, in addition, they will back
this up by naval demonstration.
The crisis in the east is already regarded
on all sides as being grave, and this feel
ing is intensified by the news from Con-
Jiddah, the threatened attack of the Bed

seeking safety on board the vessels in the

In any form, although there is a growing
belief that Russia is backing Turkey in
the latter's refusal to agree to the reforms
demanded by the powers for Armenia.

'Now, let mo tell you my experience with
bimatallism among the Germans. Some
years ago 1 visited Germany. Every news
paper that came into my hands advocated
the gold standard. When I searched for
bimetallists 1 found small band of men
carrying on a campaign of education with
pamphlets and with a weekly paper.
The campaign was successful. Some
weeks ago the reichstag passed resolution
requesting the imperial government to call
a mint conference, and the chancellor.
Prince Hohenlohe, declared he would do
so. During the last fortnight the house of
lords, as well as the lower house of the
Prussian parliament, passed resolutions,
asking that the mint conference should be
called for the stated purpose of re-enactins
binetallism. That Is the result of a cam
paign of education among the Germans.
1.-The reason for this almost miraculous
appearing result Is the fact that bimetal-
lism demands only what has been the law
on earth for thousands of years, and what
Is honest financial policy. And, therefore,
1 predict here today that victory will also
perch on our banners in this great country,
if we all do our duty"
