A GENERAL CLAMOR AGAINST THE SULTAN
There may be no alteration in Russian aims,
but since Prince LObanons death other ana
more potent influences are intervening to alter
the immediate course OF Russian policy. Among
the factors working upon Lord Salisbury are the
protests reaching the Foreign Office from Brit
ish subjects in Constantinope and other parts
of European Turkey regarding want Of protec-
ton from outrage, and the demand or the re-
ligious press in England for the suppression or
the Sultaa's regime Not the dissenting press
alone that has always been clamoring for the
suppression Of the ''unspeakable Turk. but the
Established Church papers have now taken up

enough but there is in the hearts Of the Russian
people the seed OF better things
Lord Rosebery has addressed a letter to the
Rev DR.. ]. Guinness Rogers. editor Of The
Conversational Review" in which the
Premier says that the recent massacres at Con-
stantinople matters of Importance far above
and beyond any cOnsid rations Of party. He
does not think that the course OF the Govern
ment in regard to Turkey has been either skilful
or spirited. though he admits that the Govern
ment has been beset with many difficulties.
Lord Rosebery says that he feels sure the
Government il neither cold ncr Indifferent, and
adds that he hopes for more effective results
from the efforts Of diplomacy In Turkey than
from the holding Of public meetings In England

Mr. Gladstone has written another letter upon
the Turkish situation. in which he character
the concert of the European Pow ers as a dis
graceful mockery declaring that some sover-
eigns and Governments Of Europe directly coun-

ludes to the Sultan. in his bloody work. "Coer-

series of massacres exceeding in horror those We
have already seen.
POPULAR DEMONSTRATIONS IN GERMANY
Berlin. Sept 12.-For the first time since the
Armenian massacres aroused attention here,
Germany appears to be on the eve OF popular
agitation against the Sultan. The initiative In
this movement comes from the Christian socie-
ties Of Germany which have relations in various
parts Of Turkey similar to those possessed by the
English speaking Christian bodies operating in
Anatolia and other portions of the Sultans do
main. Although this agitation did not originate
in political circles other influential quarters

pices of the Berlin Christian knowledge Society.

popular interest In the pnt-Turkish agitation.
A large mass meeting was held In Hamburg on
Thursday. however. and on the same day con-
