men of the palace party, anxious to
discredit the administration of Kiamil
Pasha, recently grand vizier-the in
stance of Diarbekir is worth citing.
NJ. Cabon. the French ambassador,
after learning of the two days rioting
at Diarbekir, threatened to hold Alex
andretta with the French squadron
until the resignation of the governor
had been brought about. Two hours
after this threat reached the Yildiz
Kiosh, Diarbekir was tranquil The
Times correspondent says that this
is an eloquent fact explaining the ott-
uation, and that many smaller III
stances point the same way.
The diplomatic corps considers the
lives of Christians endangered through
out all the Asiatic provinces, but 1t
is not believed they are in any especial
danger at Constantinople, because the
members of the palace clique are not
movements, ana the members of the
Mahomedan constitutional party adj
vocate the adoption of policy giving
Christians a share in the government.
The natural tendency in consequence
Is the coalition of the Mahomedan con-
stitutional party with the Armenians,
and in fact there are signs indicating
that such coalition would be likely
to occur under circumstances in any

A dispatch to the Standard from
Constantinople says that rumors are
already in existence to the effect that
a change may be expected in the Of
flee of grand viZier and that Hall Ri

step down and out.
The run on the Ottoman bank is now
virtually ended. It's perfect stability

Advices received by the Chronicle
from Constantinople are to the effect
that consul has just arrived there
and that he describes the whole coun-
try from Erzeroum to Trebizond as

Armenian town and village is in
ruins. Heaps of unburied bodies are
found everywhere.
A Turkish official states the trouble
originated at Erzeroum with an attack
on the government house, caused by
the torture of prisoners. Petroleum
was freely used for the purpose of
setting fire to the houses of the Ar
menians. According to the Chronicle
advices the patriarch intends to send
a PASTORAL letter t. the churches to
be read tomorrow, announcing the
sultans promised reforms, and coun-
selling patience on the part of all his
Armenian followers.

stantinople indicates that even
the foreigners are in danger and
that the central European powers have
decided to employ energetic measures
to defend the lives and the property
of their subjects.

may involve the deposition of the
