Under Pressure of the Powers the
Sultan Yields to the Demands for
HUnuUify

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 12.-The Morning
Post will tomorrow publish a dispatch
from Constantinople saying it is widely
affirmed that the Sultan intends to pro-
mulgate the constitution of 1876, with
view to placating the Mohammedan fac
tions. thus enabling him to confront the
possible combined pressure of the powers.
The Graphic's correspondent says dis
patch received in that city from Constan-
tinople remarks upon the surprise oc-
casioned among the diplomats by the de-
parture on leave of absence of M. Nclidnff,
the Russian Embassador, who has gone to
st. Petersburg. and Baron Won Calice, the
Austrian AMBASSADOR, who has gone to
Cairo. Signor Pansa. the Italian Embas-
sador, is going TO Italy, and Sir Philip
Currie the British EN- bassador, to Brusa.
tits stated that M. Cabon, the French EN-
bassador, is going away from the city with
a Turkish party.
PARIS, FRANCE, Nov. I'm. Hano-
taux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
formed the Cabinet this morning that the
Turkish Embassador, Zia Pasha, had
communicated with the Foreign Office in
writing confirming the reports that the
reforms which the Sultan had promised
were being carried out. kilograms having
already been sent by the Porte to the
military Governors informing them that
they would be held answerable for any
further bloodshed and instructing them to
inn mediately put into operation the re-
forms agreed upon in 1895. In addition
to this the Enbasssdor, M. Hanotaux
said, had informed him that the police OF
Constantinople would be reorganized.
M. Hanotaux added that the European
Cabinets would now secure other reforms
in Turkey, including reforms in the ad-
ministration of che finances.

SPAIN Is DEsPERArE.
WiHsng to Fight Uncre Sam to Preserve
Prestige.

NEW YORK. N. Y, Nov. IA Trib-
une special from Washington says: The
Madrid Government has known for some
time that the struggle 10 suppress the
revolution in Cuba will not be successful.
General Weyler has recently been
urged on to more energetic efforts by the
Madrid authorities, and kilograms from
Havana now announce that he has taken
the field in person. But well-informed
persons who have been in Cuba and WHO
know the situation thoroughly say that
Weyler and nearly 2OO, 900 troops cannot
put down the revolution, and that he has
made no decided progress since relieving
General Campos.
The Spanish Government is endeavor-
ing to keep up bold front, but it sees the
humiliating word failure" written on
the wall. Cuba is a Spanish province,
and the Government which shows that it
is incapable of putting down rebellion in
the island is doomed to oblivion.
This is grave question for Premier
Canovas' Cabinet to face. It must face ii,
however, and it is doing so with COM

Lord Lonsdafe Explains the Telegram Sent
BY Emperor William to Presi-
dent KrHuer

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 12.-The Daily
News will to- morrow comment upon a re-
'arkable speech made by Lord Lonsdale,
who is an intimate friend of Emperor
William, upon retiring from the mayor
atty of White Haven. He denounced as
childish the anger that had been aroused
in England BIZ the telegram sent some
months ago by Emperor William to Presi-
dent Kruger of the Transvaal.
He declared that the fact was that Presi-
dent Kruger had asked Emperor William
to assist the Transvaal in its trouble with
Great Britain, and that the Emperor de-
clined to do SO. Subsequently the En-
peror sent the dispatch merely congratu-
lating President Kruger for coping with
the trouble alone. Lord Lonsdale added
that he believed if the Emperor had
known the result the thing would have
had in Great Britain he would not have
sent it. ANYHOW, he was authorized by
Emperor William to declare that nothing
in the smallest degree antagonistic of
Great Britain or the British people was
intended

HARRIsoN's HELP EXPECTED.
The o Treaty Remains in the Arch.

for Wear.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 1.-THE
that there will be a renewal OF the move
ment for the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands Immediately on the accession of
the new administration.
Mr.. Mckinley was not in the House OF
Representatives at the time President
HARRISON sent in the treaty of annexation
to the Senate. His views on the SUBJ
iect were not made public, consequently
President Harrison regarded it as party
measure and one that would rebound to
party interests. He would have been
most happy had it been possible to get the
treaty through the Senate in the few re-
manning weeks of his administration. 1t
is confidently whispered that his influence
will be secured for the revival of the ne
gotiations. He could claim it as the work
of his administration and revel in what
ever glory accrued from it. The same in
dividual who signed the former treaty
are still in control of the government of
of the islands and are ready to sign again
at the slightest en- couragemen from Wash
! ington.
Possibly it might be assumed that no
necessity exists for the making of new
treaty. 1t is not new thing in the his
tory of diplomacy Tor treaties to wait for
years before being finally ratified. The
Harrison treaty is in the archives OF the
| State Department, not worse for wear by
reason of its four years burial. There
| would be no difficulty in fishing it out and
| trying its fortunes once more.
| Quite sprinkling of Democratic Sena-
| tors were in favor of the scheme and would
have voted that way had the opportunity
| been offered. A number of those will be
in the next Congress and it is said have
not changed their minds.
From all the developments and signs of
the Hawaiian project it is sure that large
pecuniary interests are dependent upon it,
and have all along had more to do with it
than any abstract considerations of fame
and glory to come from the acquisition Of
! territory.

After Administering the Oath
the Kaiser Delivers an
Address.
II AM YOUR LORD CT WAR"
Recruits Plainly Told That They Must
Honor the Man of "DiYine
Rights"

BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov. 12.-The En-
peror performed the ceremony of swear
ing in the troops in the Lustgarten at 2:30
this afternoon in the presence of the En-
press, Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia,
who wore the uniform of the Hussar Regi-
ment, the Siamese Field Marshal and the
imperial princes, vino occupied the bal
cony of the palace facing the field altar,
before which the ceremony took place.
The weather was fine and the scene was
brilliant.
After the administration OF the oath,
the Emperor, who wss on horseback, ad-
dressed the recruits, saying:
"You have now sworn an allegiance i'm
plying obedience and fidelity until death.
This oath applies to me, your chief and
your war lord, and is sacred, as it is sworn
to God upon the cruclfix. My house is a
Christian house and is nothing without
Christ, our Lord. Thus soldier is moth
ing without faith. With a firm belief in
Christ, you have special advantage.
sAs long asiyou wear the Kings coat,
remember that he who insults the King
insults your uniform as well as your chief.
Therefore, trust that yoa will energeti-
cally defend the King and crown, espe-
cialIy in these times when dlsobedience
and discomfort are rampant and disloy-
atty is rife. rely upon you to always re-
member your oath. 1t is easy for you to
do your duty while the eye of your SUI
perior is upon you, but it may be difficult
when you are alone, unobserved and ex-
posed to the temptation of seducers. Yet,
remember your vows. II you do your duty
fully, you will have the strongest claims
upon your country's gratitude.
Il hope next year you will be present 10
celebrate the hundredth anniversary of
the birth OF the great Kaiser, William L.
His eyes are upon you. What he gained
we will protect with our last drop of blood.
/ am confident that you will behave so as
not to be found wanting at the great re-
view in heaven"

UNCLE SANS SUPREMACY.
France Does Not Relish the Outcome of
the Yexed Venezuelan Boundary
Controversy.

PARIS. FRANCE, Nov 1.-THE Temps,
in an article on the proposed settlement
by arbitration of the ANGLO Venezuelan
question, remarks upon the immense I'M
pulsion Great Britain is giving to one of
the most extreme consequences OF the
Monroe doctrine. 1t contends that with
the consent of Great Britain the United
States are invested with the right to inter-
fere in all territorial quarrels European
powers with New World states, even when
not asked by the latter and without their
consent.
These great innovations in international
law, the paper adds, consecra:e the abso-
lutte supremacy of the United States in
the Western Hemisphere, and must cost
British pride dear. Europe, however,
will be unable to accept such grave de-
parture from the rights of nations.
LONDON, Eng, Nov. 12.-The Daily
News will tomorrow say that rumors are
current of q resumption of diplomatic re-
lations between Great Britain and Ven
ezuela.
The New York correspondent of the
Standard affirms that instead of entering
upon contract with Venezuela or the
United States Great Britain will sign an
agreement with both. The Anglo Ameri-
can document will be technically a treaty
it will merely be protocol for preparing
an Anglo-Venezuelan treaty.
This is owing to the delay that will arise
in the ratification of a treaty through the
peculiar Venezuelan laws. The progress
of the arbitration will thus be greatly IA
cilitated since the protocol will stipulste
that the findings of the arbitration court
must be completed before February 9.
Each instrument will refer to the other,
compelling them to be construed together,
but the less formal document is the more
important of the two.
G. F. Wheeler, the eminent barrister
and chief clerk of the Privy Council. in an
interview on the subject of the probable
composition of the Venezuelan arthitra-
ton tribunal as far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, informed q representative of the
United Associated Presses to-day that it
was an unusual thing FOR Judges to sit
upon arbitration tribunals. 1t was more
than likely, he thought. that eminent in
ternational jurists, such as Sir r. w An
son, warden of All Souls College, Oxford,
and Lord Davey, Lord of Appeals in Ordi-
nary, would be appointed, though the lat
ter would possibly refuse to serve.

National Committeeman Talks to Presi.

National Committeeman Talks to Presi-
dent Elect 4 bout the Campaign.
CANTON. OHIO, Nov. 123National
Committeeman N. B. Scott of West Vir-
ginia, who was in the New York head
quarters during the campaign, arrived in
Canton this afternoon and had a long talk
with Major Mckinley. Mr.. Scott told the
President-elect good deal of details about
the campaign conducted by the National
Committee in certain Southern States, and
expressed the belief that there were more
Republican than Democratic ballots cast
on November 8 in both Virginia and
Tennessee. Mr.. Scott said he was heartily
in favor of establishing permanent head
quarters and believed the campaign of
education to be effective should be con.
tinuous.
Mr.. Scott is highly pleased with the re-
suit of the election in West Virginia, and
is of the opinion that his State may hence
forth be counted among those classed as
safely Republican.
Major Mckinley received a great many
visitors to-day and took long drive this
afternoon. Mrs. Mckinley was not well
enough to accompany him. The Presi-
denr-elect had his picture taken to-day
with the com mlLte6 WnlCn looked after
the entertainment of the 1000 ex-Con-
federate veterans from the valley of the
Shenandoah. who visited him before the
election.
Among the letters of congratulation re-
ceived to-day was the following:
Ex-Governor James E. Campbell. Hamil-
ton, Ohio: "Inasmuch as Chairman Jones
gives it up this morning, 1 presume a
Democrat may now present his most
cordial congratulations without fear
of party discipline. Both Mrs. Campbell
and myself join your many personal
friends in wishing you happy soiourn in
the White House and long life and pros
perity thereafter"
Joseph W. Babcock Chairman Con-
gressional Committee, Washington, D. c.:

Arch6ishop Ireland Said to Be u, Dis
grace at the Tatican

ROME. ITALY. Nov. 12.-There is rea-
son 10 believe that the rumors of the re-
moval of Archbishop Ireland of ST. Paul,
Minn., are unfounded, although the Arch
bishop has fallen into disgrace at the Vati-
can. The case of the deposition OF an
Archbishop or Bishop is one of extreme
rarity. only one of the kind having oc-
Cured during the eighteen years of the
papacy OF Leo XIII. and in this instance
only when the prelate had become almost
q maniac. The Vatican has received the
proposal of three names for the rectorship
OF the Catholic University at Washington
to succeed Bishop Keane. ALI of the can
didates are judged to be worthy of the
position and the choice will consequently
be difficult.
