LONDON, ENG, Oct. 4.-The CONSTANT

graphs that the Porte will require the
Bulgarian Government to expel all unem-
ployed Armenians from that country. The
request will be based on the ground that
these idle Armenians assemble in the
cafes OF the large towns of Bulgaria and
conspire against the Sultan. NJ. Dimitroff.
the Bulgarian diplomatic agent at Con-

posed action of the Turkish Government.
The correspondent further says that
serious disturbances occurred at the Yildiz
Kiosk (the Sultan's residence) on Thurs
day. Twenty softas Theological students)
decided to obtain an audience of the
Sultan. Upon their request being refused
they attempted to force themselves into
the presence of his Majesty. The troops
who were on duty prevented their en-

BBERLIN, GERMANY. Oct. 4.-The Polish
National movement is again causing con-
siderable anxiety to the Government, al
though nothing OF serious nature is sup
posed to be imminent; but there is
abundant evidence that the continued eff
forts of the Government to Germa nize
Prussian Poland have met with a very
small degree of success. The national
spirit in that territory Is very strong, and
it is being fostered by the Roman Catholic
clergy. Many instances of boycotting and
otherwise annoying German settlers are
reported, and these show that the feeling
of discomfort is widespread. On the oc-
caslon of the recent visit of Archbishop
Strablewzki to Spalenitza the populace
became greatly excited, and in the height
of their fury administered severe maui

The Sultan Expresses His Gratitude for
the HaiseS's support.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Oct. 4.-There is a
growing disposition here to regard the
solution of the Turkish question as being
on the eve of completion by an amicable
agreement among the great powers, and
it is taken for granted that all likelihood
OF the partition of Turkey in the near fu-
ture has vanished. The semi-officiai press
make much of the supposed influence
which Baron Saurma Won Jeltsch, the
German Embassador to Turkey, exercises
over the Sultan, which the papers ascribe
to the Turkish monarch's conviction that
the representative of Germany at Con-
stantinople is not actuated by selfish aims.
The papers also connect with this pre-
sumed feeling on the part of the Sultan
the reported departure from CONSTANT
nople for Berlin of General Grumbkof, a
German officer in the Ottoman service, as
the bearer of an autograph letter from
the Sultan to the Kaiser. 1t is stated that
the communication expresses the Sui
tan's gratitude at the attitude assumed
by Germany in the Turkish crisis, and
ascribes the troubles in Turkey to revolu-
tionary agirators.
The Sultan also, according to report,
assures, the Kaiser that the Christians in
Turkey will be absolutely safeguarded un-
less they engage in anarchistic excesses.
The Altdeutsche Blatter prints an amaz-
ing scheme of story for the division
of Turkey. claiming the whole of Asiatic
Turkey for Germany, adding that Ger
many may possibly allow the Sultan to
remain under German protectorate, as
suming the direction and administration
only of affairs OF the Tigris and Euphrates

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 4.-Populist
Chairman Butler does not think that
fusion will be defeated in Indiana. He
from any other State except West Vir-
ginia. Both the National committees
have urged all the State leaders. where
fusion was desirable, to steer clear of all
alliances concerning Congressman and
State candidates until the arrangement Of
the electoral slate.
Chairman Butler, in almost every State
except Indiana and West Virginia, has
found the Populists eager to fuse on Con-
gressmen and State nominees. But in In
diana and West Virginia, he saws, the
Democrats have tried to force fusion of
the State and Congressional nominees
upon the PopulistS as condition diffusion
on the electoral ticket.
Both ne and Chairman Jones have la
bored with the leaders in Indiana. The
Populists there, in compliance with adj
vice from the National Committee, have
agreed to an electoral ticket of ten Demo-
Gratis and five Populists.
Chairman Butler says that the ticket
will stand as far as the Populists are con-
cerned. Should the Democrats refuse to
pull down five of their electors, which he
regards as impro bable, the Pop1lists Will
simply vote for the ten Democrats, and if
Bryan loses the other five in Novem Der
the blame Will rest upon the Democrats.
The situation in West Virginia, he says,
is about the same. The Populists have
certified TO two electors of their own
party. They refuse all overtures for fusion
