parent reaction in some of the London
newspapers against the excessive anti-sul-

clares Is answera Bile for the terror in Con-

at the insults to the sultan uttered by the
speakers at the public meetings and by

continues:
Despite the organized agitation, vi
tuperation and clamorous provocation
emanating from London the porte has
succeeded by dint of energy and watch
fulness in proving to Europe that the
alarm Of its English insulters is un-
founded.
"The porte does not associate the British
nation, for which it has the highest regard,
with the agitation Of few hot Drained
politicians who are led astray by their pas
sions. The moderation of the European
nations will, far more than the vocifera-
tion Of England, help the porte to protect
