Now THAT the French government
has adopted as its own the quarrel oil
it's AMBASSADOR, NJ. Constants, with the
Sultan of Turkey, and a partial rup-
ture of diplomatic relations between
them has occurred, 1t is not evident
that a settlement of the French clsims
against the Porte has been brought
very much nearer. The withdrawal Of
Mr.. Strauss, the United States repre-
sentative at Constantiuople, did not ex'
pedite greatly the payment ofthe claims
of the American missionaries IN Ar
msnia. for the Sultan took two years
longer to make up his mind TO come
down with the cash. As mode o
pressure a diplomatic rupture is Dol
very effective with the Padishah. Ih'
suggestions that the action Of France
NAV lead to war or disrupt the con-
cert of Europe and bring about the
downfall OF Turkish power are the
merest rubbish.
