Sir Philip Currie is the first ambas-
sador who has had an audience with
the sultan since the recent riots in Con-
stantinople. Baron Calico, the Austrian
ambassador, and NJ. Nelidort1,
the Russian ambassador, are away on

How to guard against such an out

before the foreign diplomats in Turkey.
If the powers agree to place the sultan
under tutelage, with the appointment
