AUSTRIA MEANS BUSINESS.
Her Ambassador May Leave Con-
StantinOpIe.

Nav York, Nov. 1.-THE Oriental
Railroad dispute is still pending, and
Austria threatens a diplomatic rupture
unless the matter is settled by Thurs
day.
The story of the threat to lombard
Merslni is unofficial aud rests on no very
reliable basis, although it is fact that
1.-Two Austrian warships are at that port
Itseems that Turkey has removed the
mutessarif OF Mersini at the demand of
austria, but demurs to removing the
wall y or governor general of Adana. in
(which province Mersini is situated, on the
ground that he was not concerned in the
outrage of Brazzefolli.
This part of the dispute, however, may
be regarded rs good rs settled as the
Forte will undoubtedly yield to Austria.
1t is the second note which Austria has
tackled on the fiersiri case which is caus-
ing Turkey to stffen. This note makes
a somewhat novel claim, Austria having
constituted herself the champion of the
Turkish Railways Exploration Company,
which is II purely private concern, man
| aged in Vienna, but with financial inter
ests that are mainly cent? red in Paris,
| Berlin and Zurich.
| The demands include payment for the
transportation nj Turkish tro OPS during
| the recent war with Greece and n conces-
sion for laying an additional local track
in Constantinople. 1t is these claims on
his eXchequer that the Sultan is refusing
to grant If he does not yield by noon
Thursday, Baron Calico, the Austrian
ambassador, will leave. Constantinuple.
In the present dispute Austria has the
tacit support Of the powers on which the
Sultan has been accustomed to rely. He
will probably remain obstinate until the
| last moment, and then yield.
