AN OTTOMAN CRISIS.

The whole trend If current events in Europe
IS Enthusiastically toward Intervention and radical
reforms IN Armenia and perhaps toward some
important modification Of the status OF The otto
man Empire Itself, both I'm Europe and Asia.
At COnstantnoplc there Is evident uncaSin"ss.
Several Cabinet changes have been followed by
the resignation of the whole Ministry and the
organization Of a new one with SAID Iacha nj
its head This Is probably due TO the personal
action OF the Sultan who has for some time been
much dissatisfied with the conduct Of his Min
listers In Great Britain, France and Russia

GEORGE JOINS THE DENEDICTS.
A Popular Young Man With a Host
Of Friends.
The RItman- W hIte wedding Was An In
teresting AnAir-MAny Presents
Including q Substantial One.

The friends of George Ritman
turned out in force last night to
witness his marriage to Miss Mag
gle C. White, a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. C.. White. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. 81. II.
Parker at the residence of the
brides parents. The bridesmaids
were May Lloyd and little Florence
HOWE. Thomas G. White was the
best man.
The residence and grounds were
brilliantly illuminated with Japan
anese lanterns. An interesting
feature Of the occasion was the
presence of quintette club, COM
posed of young ladies, who sang
and played in most pleasing man.
ner.
After the ceremony a supper was
served. The young couple received
a great many handsome presents,
which were displayed during the
evening. One of the gifts was of a
very substantial nature: it was a
purse of 5000, and was subscribed
by the friends of the groom. Mr..
Ritman was deeply touched when
he accepted this strong evidence of
regard. He wishes to thank the
donors individually and COLLECTIVE
ely.
George Ritman is very well
known In Honolulu. He was
formerly employed in the Union
Iron Works and Of late was
in business with J. G. White.
He was the life of many social
gatherings, and was extremely
well liked. He has appeared in
pulic as a member Of the amateur
minstrels. His services were always
in demand.
The bride is the only daughter
Of Mr.. J. G. White. She possesses
q charming personality, and lie
more than popular with her friends
and acquaintance. She has three

but little in public. He did have
the temerity to visit the Oceanic
wharf on the Saturday when the
Mariposa sailed he wanted to say
goodbye to his friend Carl Wide
mann, but Carl did not go, as
rumor said he would. David can
see his friend every day now.
He is a nephew Of Kapiolani and
along with his brother was made a
prince by Kalakaua. They are
not of so-called royal blood.
1t is the common belief In royal
ist circles that Kawananakoa was
to be made king if the rebellion
had been successful. The story
goes that Mrs. Dominis would alb
dictate in bis favor in order TO pre-
vent KaiulaDi from gaining the
throne.
