Great Britain. the United States and
Italy. It believes that the American
people would regard with enthusiasm
the Spectacle of the union jack and the
stars and stripes floating side
by side in the Bosphorus to
back up the joint demand for
the rescue of the oppressed Arme-
mans and the suppression of MosIem
tyranny. This sounds very well, of
course, but the American nation is not
in the humor of pulling England's 8
chestnuts out of the oriental furnace.
and the formation of new 'Dreibund," :"
with the United States as a participant,
is a chimerical proposition. The WASH
ington government will continue to
protect its interests in Turkey single
handed, and insist upon the recognition
of the rights of its citizens, but it is
not probable that it will take any part
in the political movements of any of the
European powers interested in the
final settlement of the so-called "eest-
ern" question.

Dreibund Proposed by England.

While England's aggressivehess ap-
pears chivalrous, yet it does not amount
to much. Russia, which is really the
dominant factor in Turkish affairs,
adheres with Muscovite tenacity to the
policy of procrastination and Inactivity
inaugurated by Prince Lobanoff-Rost-
ovsky, whose recent sudden death par
alyzed concerted action Lord Sails
bury knows perfectly well that the
first shot fired at the defenses of the
Bosphorus by the British fleet would
-mbroil England in war with Russia,
and possibly France, and its present
isolated position would make such

international aspect of the crisis, and

If their names were not mentioned
thus particularly.who could recall them
without great mental effort? Very
few.
President Garfield had a strong cab
met, but it was broken up after his
death, and a new cabinet was formed
by President Arthur. You might find
it difficult to recall the names of the
members of either one of those cab
inets. Blaine was secretary of state in
Garfield's cabinet, and Frelinghuysen
was secretary of state in-Arthur's cab
met. Can you guess the names of the
others? And yet, it is only Is years
since both of those cabinets were
formed. You will probably recall the
fact that Robert L. Lincoln, son of
tary of war by President Garfield, and
was minister to Great Britain during
Harrison's administration.
But, test of the truth of the fact
that our leading men are soon forgot

THEIMPERTINENT TURK.
He Pokes Fun at the Ambassadors
Of the Powers.
He Calls Them Liars and
Says They Can't See Strafght-A Wild
English Scheme-The Prince
of Naples Bride.
Especial Letter.1


Despite its terribly tragic features,
the situation at ConstantinoPle is not
without its amusing side. After the
Mussulman fanatics had murdered
5000 Christians in cold blood and
robbed every Christian domicile
to which they could force an
entrance, the representatives of the
six Berlin treaty powers-Great Brit
ain, Russia, Germany, France, Austria
Hungary and Italy-insisted upon
thorough investigation of the massacre.
The sultan, in compliance with their re-
quest, appointed a commission, consist
ing of some of the most notorious Mo-
hammedan fanatics, and this commis-
sion, in an incredibly short space of
time, filed a report eXonerating the
Turkish mob of civilians and soldiers.
An official note was then sent to the six
powers, which, in addition to the de-
cision of the commission, contained the
insinuation that the ambassadors had
misinformed their governments and
failed to give a truthful version of the
unfortunate affair. The half dozen
diplomats, thus officially stigmatized as
liars, at once commenced to exchange
notes with each other, and in this pleas
ing, but profitless, occupation they are
engaged at the present time. Meanwhile
the heads of the foreign offices at Berlin,
London, Vienna, Rome and Paris are
giving out hints about what is to be
done with the ''unspeakable Turk"
the latest rumor being that Germany
and Austria, with the consent of
France, will insist upon the abdication
of Sultan Abdul Hamid. Another report
is to the effect that the young Turkish
element, which, although weak in num-
ber, is strong in influence, will request
I. III II I'll, = HI .~~l
officer of the Moslem realm, to por-
nounce the sultan insane and to declare
the throne vacant. Both these rumors
are interesting, but it is more than
doubtful that anything will come of
them.
