The Resignations Accepted.
LONDON, June 3.-The Madrid core
spondent of The Times says: The queen
regent has accepted the resignation of
the cabinet of Senior Canovas del Cas-
tilo. It has caused profound sensa-
ton. Before finally taking this step
her majesty begged Senior Canovas to
remain in office for "a hours in order
that she might have another opportunity
to consider the matter in council, but
this only meant that the resignation
would be accepted. Senior Canovas
rendered his resignation because he
could not again undertake to
re establish relations with the
Liberals. He preferred to leave the
crown full liberty to decide as to the
best solution. Both houses of the cortes
voted without debate the financial sup.
plies and granted authority for the issue
Of treasury bonds and the contraction of
loans guaranteed by the Spanish treas.
ury to cover the expenses of the wars in
Cuba and the Philippine islands.

THE SULTAN AS HE is.
A Frsnohman's Vivid Description Of
Rn1Ar ~ TsupL~~

a 1rsnchman's Vivid Description Of the
Ruler Of Turkey.
Victor Berard, In writing on Tur-
key and the sultan for Partisan
review, has told some very interest
ing facts. For several years he was
college professor in Constantine
pie and knows his subject thorough
ly. He blames the sultan and Russia
for the Armenian massacres, and
holds tho sultan up to soorn as per-
haps the most abjeot coward hold
Ing a high position in Europe.
80 fearful Is the sultan Of dyna.
mite that he will not allow electric.
ity to be used in Constantinople, as
1t Is generated by dynamos.
Here is the pen picture he draws
Of the sultan:
abdul Hamid is a gentle, shy, civ.
IL man, rather cold at first inter.
view, but whose manner becomes
winning on better acquaintance. His
temper is even, his address anable
his native intelligence above the av.
erage, but his culture is nil. The
gross farces of the Turkish stage
and penny horrible French liter.
ature are his great delight. He has
ordered the whole Of Xavier de
Montepin' to be translated for him.
His piety, perhaps simulated, is
narrow and superstitious, and his
private life serious, and, indeed,
austere. The most severe Young
Turks admit that for centuries the
Ottoman throne has not been ocou.
pied by a man so little sensual. EN-
bassadors have all been charmed by
Abdul Hamid, and many have not
got over this pleasant impression.
It is due to the extreme politeness
Of this autocrat, to his attention to
their remarks, his apparent assent
to every one Of their conclusions.
The proofs he gives Of hard work,
good will and sorupulousness appeal
to even the most liberal Young
Turks, like Murad Bey.
"A great effort or long habit is
necessary to mistrust or disbelievo
q man who seems go upright and
who certainly is unhappy. Every
thing In his attitude, words and
even silence, his sudden pinching Of
the lips, starts Of the body, wander
Ing looks and the pallor Of the
cheeks disguised by powder-every-
thing shows unreasoning, inourable
fear In the successor Of the unfor-
tunate Aziz and Murad. tits the key
to his character. Fear has subdued
In him pride, passion and vices, but
1t has also killed generosity,
straight htforwardness, honor and all
sentiment further than that of self
preservation"

Queen Christina Finds Herself in Diff

New York, June ga dispatch to
The World from Madrid says: The
crisis is extremely. grave. The excite
ment in political and financial circles is
intense. Never since the death of King
Alfonso XII in 1885 has Queen Chris.
tina found herself in SO serious and diff
cult a position. One of two things she
must do. She may keep Senior Canovas
as premier with his Conservative cab
met intact or modified and keep General
Weyler in Cuba to persevere in her pres
ent policy with the ample means re-
Gently voted by the cortes; or she may
form Liberal cabinet in which Senior
Moret probably would be minister of
foreign affairs, with opportunity to fol-
low his well known inclination to come
to an understanding with the United
States.
Would Send Campos to Cuba.
A Liberal cabinet probably would
send Marshal Campos to Cuba with full
power, TO conciliate the insurgents and
royalists by establishing more radical
home rule than Senior Canovas contem.
plated and thus disar1n the United
States.
The liberals seem confident and the
Conservatives are downcast. In the
military clubs and in political circles the
majority believe that the queen will de-
eide to have Liberal government. The
general impression throughout the city
is that Senior Sagasta will succeed Senior
Canovas as premier, as the latter would
hardly reverse the colonial policy or re-.
call WAyln~.
