For YearsT Turkey Representative
at the Court Of St. James.
EuLoaizED BY LORD SALISBURY.


Turks Death the Br4tish Premier Paid
rrfbate 20 His Gsnius-A Panic Among
Armenians In constantinopis.
LONDON, Nov. e0.-Rustem Pasha, for
years the representative OF Turkey at the
court Of st. James, died last night. Rus
tenn Pasha has been in failing health for a
long time, and his retirement on PEN
sion on this account was discussed as long
ago as last February.
In speech before tho National Union
Of Conservative associations at Brighton
yesterday Premier Salisbury referred at
length to Rtistem, wis II he feared would
not recover from his illness. The primo
minister spoke especially OF the former Nd
minlstration of Rustem Pnsha ut Leba
non, and said he was convinced II men
like him had been placed in charge Of the
Districts where all these Turkish horrors
have occurred the conscience of Europe
would never have been racked by NIL these
tales Of suffering and terror. II there had
been men round the sultnu like Rustern
Pashu present conditions would not exist.
Lord Salisbury added: II do not see
who the men are who are TO stand US rep.
resentntives of the Rustcm Pasha type of
officials at the sublime porte. exhort
You to consider that the terrible Armenian
problem is quite as much one Of compe-
tent fiien as one of adequate law; that the
mere writing Of new provisions upon fresh
DEGREES cannot supply the places Of cover
nors who Know low, and what Is equally
important, who have the courage and in
tegrlty to do their duty.
II have no doubt but the powers will do
their best But do not imagine that deep
al t. .t. Ix..
by the wave Of d inagicians wand The
result of lo.g years OF error viii have to
be paid for, and cruel and memorable Is the
law that those will pay who were not orig.
inally guilty of the offcnscs'
In speaking of Great Brltaln's efforts to
restore order in Turkey Lord Salisbury
said:
Great Britain forms part Of d concerted
Europe, which ms resolved. SO far as ii
acts, to net with unnnimity. Some persons
seem to Imagine that we. the people OF
Great Britain, can dispose Of all OF the de-
clsions OF all the European powers. This
10 erediting us with more influence than
we possess. Whatever Is done must be
done with unaainlity, and we can only
speak In behalf Of one Of the powers which
will concur, IL the powers do concur In any
action which may be taken.
II will not admit that the responsibility
Of any Of the decisions taken rests entirely
or mainly on this country. Tho response
bility Is upon us and upon all the powers
in common. All those who have this re-
sponsibility must act together SO that II
there arc others who cannot agree TO net
with the powers, those others cannot have
their own way But I am in no wise dc
slrous Of intiInating that the slightest
shade Of disagreement up to this moment
has arisen between the powers"
A dispatch to Tho Timns from Constan-
tlnoplc notes the commencement of q
panic among tho Armenian tradesmen Of
that city. These Armenian traders have
declared their intention OF closing their
shops. They assert that Constantinople is
now unsafe for them.
Another dispatch announces the arrival
at Smyrna of the French squadron.
The most stringent orders have been is
sued to the different wallis, coupled with
appeals asking them to save tho honor OF
tho sultan and preserve the Islamic faith
by an obedience to the Instructions, but
all of these efforts have proved perfectly
futile.
