CRISIS APPROACHING.
The Sultan OF Turkey May We,
Be Oeposed.
BRITISH WAR FLEET GATHERING,

The Tribunal for Trying the nurderers of
Armenians Proves To BE whitewash-
ing Farce-Great Britain May Not Walt
for the Other Powers but May Put an
End to the Disgraceful state of Anairs
Herself
Constantinople, Sept. H.-[Copyright.
1896, by Associated Press. IA feeling
of the greatest anxiety prevails in
all circles here. There Is no doubt that
crisis of extreme gravity has been
reached and that the powers are dis
cussing the deposition of the sultan.
that being, apparently, the only means
of restoring quiet and confidence with
in the Turkish empire. A British fleet
of about fifteen war vessels is off the
Island of Thasos and within easy strik-
ing distance should an emergency
arise, and IL is believed that Great
Britain will not hesitate TO act alone
In the matter of putting an end to the
present disgraceful state OF affairs If
the other powers delay acting too long.
AS almost generally expected. the ex
traordinary tribunal which has been
trying the men accused of massacring
Armenians in the streets of this city
and its suburbs has turned out to be
nothing more than a whitewashing
court.
Brutal Murderers Acquitted.
The men who were arrested for bru-
tally killing two Armenians before the
guardhouse Of the British embassy and
in full view of several British officials
have been acquitted. AS there was no
possible doubt of their guilt. their ac-
quittal is regarded here as showing
that IL is useless to expect that Mus
sumans will be punished for crimes
committed against Armenians. This
has aroused the greatest Indignation
among the foreign population here and
has served TO greatly increase the feel
ing of uneasiness which prevails on all
sides. The Europeans feel that the
action of the extraordinary tribunal in
acquitting the murderers whose guilt
WAS so fully proved shows that the
peaceable residents OF Constantinople
are absolutely without any guarantee
that their lives and property are safe
and that they must henceforth depend
almost entirely upon the warships of
lne powers lot pIOltClloH
Business at n standstiil.
Such a condition IL is admitted, can
not last for any length of time, as bus
mess is at a standstill. TO all intents
and purposes. and the impoverished
condition of the Turkish treasury is
adding daily to the discomfort pre-
vailing, not in the army and navy. but
I'm Turkish official circles generally.
Many more officers have been arrested
for Gle ming their pay and for resign
ing their commissions when informed
that there was no money for them
If this is the situation among the Off
GERS it may he judged that the common
soldiery are feeling still more irritated
But there is plenty of money and pro-
visions for the strong bodyguard of the
sultan and for the troops which con
stantly surround the palace, and IT Is
believed that this display of force
alone saves the sultan from witnessing
demonstration which would surely
open his eyes to the disgraceful stat'
of affairs existing.

LETTER BY GLADSTONE
SAYS the Concert of Europe Is n Miserable
Disgracefui Mockery.

London, Sept. 1.-THE Rt. Hon. w.
L. Gladstone has written still another
letter denouncing the sultan of Turkey
In this communication Mr.. Gladstone
says:
I'm my opinion the assassin and not
his Mohammedan subjects is the au-
thor of the massacres. From first to
last their atrocity has no parallel in re-
cent history. The concert OF Europe
is a miserable, disgraceful mockery.
and some sovereigns and governments
have given direct countenance and
support to the assassin. Indeed. the
presence of the embassies at Constan
tinople is i'm itself substantial coun
tenance of support TO him, and hi
guilty proceedings. The coercion
which should long ago have been APP
piled to him might even now be the
means of averting another series OF
massacres."

SCHOOL TROUBLE AT ST PAUL.
VIII Not Open Until the Finances Are
shown Up.

St Paul. Sept 14.-There is a big sem
sation i'm St Paul school circles. The
public schools are scheduled to open on
Monday, but the school board an
nounced Friday night that the schools
would not open on that date or any
other date until Mayor Doran sends
to the council a budget showing how
much money there is in the school
fund. and how much there is likely TO
be there i'm the season. The school
board claims that under the laws Of
the state. If it opened the schools
without knowing what il was to sup
port them with, it would be liable to be
sent TO states prison for from SIX
months to year The trouble seems
to have risen from the obstinacy or
Comptroller McCarty. who has not fur
nished the mayor with the usual state
ment regarding the school fund. The
% OO0 school children of st. Paul must
therefore wait until the mayor sends a
message to the council. which is COM
posed of two bodies. and is acted upon.
