Mustaphy Bey, the Sultan's new en-
voy, who replaces Minister Mavroynl,
has arrived at the capital. The new
representative of the Sultan visited
this country in 1885 on an Official mis-
sion for his Government, connected
with claim of an American citizen
against the Ottoman Empire for rifles
that had been furnished for the Turk
ish army. On that occasion he remain
ed for two years in the United States,
chiefly in New York city.
In reply to an inquiry, the Minister
said that the incidents of the American
warship Bancroft's entry into the Dar-
danelles would create no unkindness OF
feeling for the United States in Tur-
key, and that the matter was already
as good as closed and closed amicably.
He deplored the things that some of
the newspapers In this country were
credited with saying about the Otto
man Empire on account of the Arme-
nian troubles, tho reports of which
were often unreliable.
"The Turks and the Armenians," he
said, have lived together for six CEN
turtles In full harmony and brother
hood, enjoying alike all privileges un-
der the laws of the country. The Ar
menians have had absolute freedom
In their occupations, their religion and
their tranquility. They occupy con-
spicuous positions In the service of the
State, and are esteemed by their fell
low-countrymen, without thought of
their being different from any subject
Of His Majesty, the Sultan. The pres
ent difficulties are simply the work Of
chronic agitators."

The services in these churches were
long. They were opened by reading
and singing conducted by the voor-

singing the dominic entered, and paus-
ing for a few minutes at the foot of

cended to his seat of state. The psalms
were given out to the congregation
through a large hanging board with

high, he Jhrust up to the preacher the
