Mr. De YOUNG'S RETURN,
His Visit to the Capital City of
the "Unspeakable
Turk"
The "Sick Man of Europe" Is Only
Sick When Called Upon to
Pay His Debts.

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. II. de Young returned
yesterday after several months travel
through France and Southern Europe.
They extended their journey as far east as
Constantinople and were in the city of the
"Sick Man" at the beginning of the Ar
menian troubles. When seen at his resi-
dence last evening Mr.. de Young was
adding to his already numerous collection
a number of rare and costly articles gath
cred by the way in France, Italy and Tur-
KEY.
Regarding the Armenian question:"
said Mr.. de Young, II had many oppor-
tunities of getting inside information,
both from the American Minister and
Turkish officials. had the pleasure of
dining with Mr.. Terrell; also of meeting
the Sultan and the Grand Vizier. The
two latter are well educated, highly intel
ligent and fully acquainted with the con-
dition of affairs, and, fancy, able to cope
with the astute diplomats of the powers.
"The Sick Man is not so sick as the
world at large believes him to be. He has
millions of subjects devoted to him,
religion that holds him to be its supreme
head AID 100000 splendid soldiers that
will die for him on any battlefield. He
has plenty of money, plenty of credit for
more and is only sick when called upon to
pay his debts. Many Christian warrior
will fall before the 'unspeakable Turk is
driven out of Europe, take my word for it.
"You have no idea how well an American
is treated in Constantinople, and also all
through the Turkish dominions. And it
is all because America has been so well
represented at the court of the Sultan. Our
Ministers never meddle with the affairs of
that empire as do the representatives of
European countries. Consequently the
legation of the United States and the court
of the ruler are socially close together. 1t
was by Mr. Terrell's efforts that the Ameri-
can missionaries were not butchered with
the Armenians.
1.-The Sultan refused to permit the Red
Cross Society to go into the country as an
organization, but permitted them to do so
as American citizens. Any American with
Minister Terrells signature on his pass
port is safe in Turkey.
II think the Armenian troubles are sub
siding and do not think that the slaughter
will begin again with the summer as has
been reported. Mr.. Terrell is of that
opinion and he is in position to know.
s'The Sultan can stop all these horrors
with word, but fancy neither the Brit
ish lion nor the Russian bear is ready to
force him into speaking, for all he is the
Sick Man, so-calfed. They may be Jealous
of each other, but they are more fearful Of
his ability in fightn
Mr.. de Young had learned little Of
National political issues since his return,

Kinley's chances for the Presidency, re-

THEIR CLUB LANGU|SHES
Decline Of Interest in the Con-
gregational Monday
Meetings.
Methodist Pastors Discuss Possible
Reforms to Come in Their
Church.

Ever since the beginning of the Brown
Davidson scandal the attendance at the
Congregational Club has been growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully less.
Before DR.. Brown had Mrs. Davids on ar.
rested the Cong regational Club was noteo
for the advanced and energetic way In
which it discussed the questions OF the day.
but gradually since then the attendance mas
fallen off and interest IN the discussions
seems to have fanguished.
This decline in interest and attendance
has been attributed to the fact OF some OF
the clubs leading members being mem
bers OF the council which was en-
gagged i'll conducting the Brown IN
vestigation. 1t was expected that when
the councils labors were ended the Con
gregational Monday Club ould resume
its normal condition, but this was very
far from being the case yesterday. In TACT
the attendance was so small that the Rev.
Mr.. Kimball made the suggestion that
those present should move up to the front
to be nearer together.
The subject of the scandal has been al
most entirely tabooed ever since Dr. Nc
Lean made and carried a motion express
ing confidence in DR.. Brown, the first
Monday after the arrest OF Mrs. Davidson.
Yesterday the proceedings were OF tLat
placid character which has marked the
Congregational Monday Club OF late.
of excitement-once when he reported that
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper's Bible class had
been locked out of the First Church and
once when he declared that If Christ came
to the San Francisco churches he would
condemn the scribes and Pharisees. hyp-
ocrites, who make excuses for iniqulty by
attributing it to unfortunate dispositions"
Mr.. Strauss remarks did not result in any
discussion, however. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper
explained pacifically that her class had
been invited to participate in the praise
services, and the. innuendo respecting
scribes and Pharisees passed without COM
ment.
The paper yesterday was supplied by ].
M. Lewis, student of the Theological
Seminary, his subject having relation to
the coming of the kingdom of heaven.
Professor Lloyd, the president of the club,
announced that he would be unable to at
tend any longer on account of coming

Methodist Preachers.

Rev. T. S. L. Wallis, who was to have
spoken at the Methodist Preachers Club
yesterday morning, was unable to be pres
ent and, as substitute for Mr.. Wallis
paper, the pastors discussed the question
of reforms in the NJ. e. Church
Rev. DIR. Harris. who spoke first, said he
considered that no man holding an official
position in the Methodist Episcopal church
ought to be elected as a delegate to the
conference. He also said: II would give
every lay memb Der over 2l years of age the
right to vote. The lay element in the
churches should be- cultivated more ex-
tensiyely.p Rev. DR.. Matthew agreed in
giving more power to laymen, and Rev.
DIR. Chenoweth added: ga star-cham ber
conference is no longer possible" Rev.
Dr. Goodwin was satisfied with tho ma
chinery of the Methodist Episcopal church
as it is. A number of other opinions were
expressed on the policy of the Methodist
