Situation in Turkish Affairs
a Tribute to Oriental
Diplomacy.
Sultan Aware That tho Powers
Dread a Clash Between
Themselves.
Number or Murdered Armeni-
ans Now Es mated at
100000.

CoNsrANTINoPLE. Dec. 9.-The situ-
alton here OH the question of the extra
guardships Of the powers remains un-
changed and continues to offer a tribute
to the powers of delay and evasion Of
Oriental diplomacy as practiced by the
Turkish government. Statements are
constantly reiterated Of the continued
accord of the powers on the subject
and their unyielding determination to
insist upon a compliance with their
demands. Loss is heard, however, Of
the rumors which were Of frequent &C.
currence in tho early period after the
demand had Leen presented, that thu
sultan had at length decided to grant
the necessary firman to permit the pas
sage Of the Dardanelles or even that he
had actually issued them. Neither is
there such explicit announcement any
more Of the period to elapse before

of the powers is to commence, to en-
force the demands made upon the sui
tan. Since the return Of Fl. M. S.
Dryad to Suionica bay no word has been
heard of any actual order or movement
to advance upon the Dardanel1es. Opin-
ion continues divided us to whether the
delay in taking any action to enforce
the demands is dua to q fear OF causing
O fanatical outbreak against tho Chris
tians by the Mussulmans subjects of
tho sultan, or to a dread Of a clash ell
suing between the powers themselves.
The reception by the sultan Of M.
Neildotf, the Russian ambassador, i'll
private audience, awakens the usual
amount of speculation Us to the true re-
lation of Russia to the situation and
the extent of her agreement with the
views Of the powers.
Sultan After Said Pashn.
So persistent has been the pressure
upon Said Fasha to leave the British
embassy and upon the embassy to re-
linquish him, that all palace officials
are now excluded from there except one
of the palace sheikhs, whom the sultan
has sent and who vainly tried to induce
Said Pasha to relent and return to the
sultan The sultan has protested to the
powers against the exclusion of his
messengers, but the other ambassnd RS
support Sir Phillip Currie in his posi-
ton. The report that they advise Said
Pasha to again accept the position Of
grand vizier has proved to be un.
founded.

The Week in Congress Promises to Be
Unevsntful.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house
programme this week is dreary waste.
Until the committees are appointed the
machinery of the house is blocked and
nothing can be done save by unani-
NOUS consent. Any resolution that
might be presented-and it is in this
form that the sensations that agitate
the lower branch Of congress spring
would go down before a single objec-
ton. For this reason no attempt will
be made to do anything until Speaker
Reed announces his committees, which
he now expects to have ready at the
end of the week. Last week several
hundred bills were introduced and it is
probable that fully as many will be
started On their journey to the statute
books this week.
Senators Will Caucus.
The probabilities are that the week
in the senate will be given up largely to
eaucusing by all parties and that the
senate daily sessions will be brief, with
little effort at Liquidation. The intro
duction of bills will be continued,
though no work Of consequence can be
done until the committees are filed.
There is nothing ON the calendar except
two speeches, one by Senator Morgan
ON the Boring sea question, and the
other by Senator Cullom on his Monroe
doctrine resolution. It is understood
that Senator Morgan viii pay his 10

Speaker Reed has many surprises in

that the older members are not to be

Reed has taken a week to study the
new members and he has become salts
fed, it is said, that he has
some of the very best material in
which is to make selections for import
subcommittee places. There is strong
probability that a Minnesotan will be
named a. chairman Of an important

who is serving his first term.
