formed in this city. Mr.. William

time and the results of his industry are
extremely gratifying. This 'fIdyl' is a
beautiful work
A surprise awaits the public in the
playing of Mrs. Rosabelle Frushnor
Lines, Professor Sanfords pupil. There
is the most marked change in her style
since she last played here in the music

full treat. One of Haydn's symphonies,
the thirteenth, in G major, will be the
other number.

DISTRUST THE SULTAN.
London Diplomats Take No Stock In
His Promises of Reform

London, Nov. 13.-The expression OF
English, French and Continental opinion
generally is yeritable chorus Of celebra-
ton over the restored concert Of the powers
in regard to Turkey, as Indicated by Lord
Salisbury in his speech at the lord mayors
banquet in the Guild Hall last Monday.
The sultan's acceptance of the large
scheme of reforms submitted to him is al
legged to be due to the concert of the pow
ers, which the French press credits TO NJ
Hanotaux's mastery seizure OF til proper
moment to coerce the porte.
In the London diplomatic circle all this
talk OF the sultan's acceptance of the re-
forms is considered to be extremely fishy,
and the whole tenor of the facts deri red
from official sources in nConstantinople points
to the certainty that the suit an is pursuing
his old course of deceit

mission to report upon the sentences i'm
posed by the tribunal.
