AN ENTENTE WITH

It May Soon Lead to the
Deposition of Turkeys
Sultan.
Lord Salisbury and the Gar
Reached an Agreement
at Balmoral.
SIR WILLIAMS FIRM VIEWS.
Harcourt Rejoiced at the Anti.Sultan
outburst Throughout Great
Britain.

LONDON, ENG, Oct. Sin its issue
tomorrow the Chronicle will claim to
have high authority for the statement,
although the paper does not vouch for its
correctness, that Lord Salisbury. during
his recent visit to Balmoral, arrived at
an entente with the 6zar that will
lead to the deposition of the Sui
tan of Turkey. Lord Salisbury
the statement adds, found the Gear highly
sympathetic but he feared that decisive
action would provoke a massacre of the
Christians in Constantinople. Lord Sails
bury removed the Cars fears and his
Majesty now concurs in the desire to in
tervene. The deposition of the Sultan
would not be necessary Immediately, but
it would be the final outcome of the diplo-
matte prehminaries.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the leader
of the opposition in the House of Com
mons, tonight attended an anti-Snltan
meeting at Ebbvale, Monmouthshire. A
resolution was submitted and adopted
calling upon the Government to do every
thing possible 10 protect the Armenians.
In supporting the resolution Sir Will

added. had proved that the policy of Great
Britain in defending the integrity OF
Turkey and preventing the interven-
ton of Russia had failed. Great
Britain ought in the future to cooperate
with Russia in the East, treating her as an
Asiatic neighbor. The first step in this
direction ought to be formal renuncia-
ton of the Cyprus convention, by which
in return for support of the Turks the
latter ceded the Island of Cyprus to Eng
land.
Sir William declared that he was pro-
foundly convinced that it was utterly i'm
possible for Great Britain to effectually
operate alone against Turkey, He did
not admire Great Britain's splendid isola-
tion, which resulted in humiliating i'm
potence. He preferred to cultivate the
friendship of other powers.
Sir William concluded by saying that he
did not want Great Britain to enter into
formal treaties of alliance with the other
great powers, but did desire that she have
an entente cordiaIe with all of them.s

FLAMES NEARING SWl7ZERs.
Entire Timber Area of Southern California
Threatened by the Sierra MGdre
confagrntion

PASADENA, CAL, Oct. 5.-To-nignt
great tongues of flame are to be seen on
the top of the front range of the Sierra
Madre, on which the Mount Lowe Railway
and the Echo Mountain Hotel are located,
and all day huge volumes of smoke have
rolled up to the north OF Pasadena. e.
Ell. Royce has just returned from the camp
of tire-fghters and reports the main point
of attack is near Straw berry Peak, north
of the east FORK of the Arroyo and two
miles from Switzers. Between there and
the huge fire in TejQnga, distance of
eight miles, practically the whole country
is in ashes, so no danger to the front
range is likely from the Tejunga fire.
The San Gabriel Canyon fire is now with
in six miles of Switzers. and is working
northwest at rapid rate. Should it meet
and join with the Tejunga fire nothing
could stop the destruction of practically
the whole timber area of Southern Cali
fornia, Mr.. Royce says, and the freight
ers agree with him. Nothing is being
done to check the San Gabriel Canyonl fire
at present.
John McCutcheon, who came in this
afternoon, says the flames are fifty feet
high on the mountainsides.
