| In subsequent sections the platform
| denounces the Raines excise law as in
fringing upon the rights of the citizen

FOR A NEW DREIBUND
st. James Gazette Further Dis
cusses the Subject.
SULTAN WOULD HAVE TO YIELD.

The Mere Existence of An Alliance he
tween the United States, Great Britain
aud Italy Would Convince the sultan
and Powers %: Greater Weight That the
Atrocities Must Cease Charges Against
the Son of ES-Preimer Crispi.
London. Sept. 1S-The St James Ca
zette returns 10 the discussion of it's
proposition of a new dreibund TO be
formed by Great Britain, the United
states, and Italy for the settlement of
the Armenian question and says
III The United States, Great Britain
and, Italy presented the sultan with a
Joint demand that certain conditions
must be complied with i'm three days
time ii Is highly probable that his RUS
sian advisers would intimate to Alb
dull Hamid that he would have TO yield
and IN is not impossible that the de-
mand of three powers would presently
become that of United Europe. If Alb
dull Hamd was advised against his
own interests so strongly that he re-
fused To yield TO ,hem. an Anglo-Ital-
ian fleet, with such American vessels
as could arrive on time, could force the
Dardanelles and dictate terms i'm the
BosphOrus.
Would BE Convincing.
THE mere existence of such an al
lance would probable be sufficient to
convince not merely the sultan, but
persons and powers of greater weight
that the atrocities must end"
The article i'm the st. James Gazette
concludes with the following state
ment:
In the event of graver compiled
lions ensuing the new dreibund would
enable us to face them with the mate
rial support of a fine navy, whose ad-
dition to ours would make us equal &c
any possible combination and would
give us the moral support of the gigan'
tic civilization which no other state
would care TO have among its oppo
