1t is no secret in diplomatic circles that MS
inefIiciency at Constantinope in recent years
has been due in the main to the fact that the
Sultan possessed such an intimate knowledge

protests that the Russian Ambassador might be
called upon to make. 1t is even alleged at Con-
stantinople as well as at ST. Petersburg that the
Sultan has in his possession proofs that at least
one Of the three alleged burglaries at the EN-
bassy and robberies of the officials connected
Herewith. have been spurious. although His OF

the amount alleged to have been stolen. The
Padishah is stated to have paid this gladly, be-

With regard to the present troubles in India.
where the situation is more serious than at any
time since the mutiny Of 1851. when all the Dec
can was up in arms against the British, the

then England seems to have been no longer sue
