POWERS NOW A unit.
Joint Note Drafted and Presented to
the Sultan of Turkey.
DEMANDS INSTITUTION OF REFORMS.
Christians Must Receive Protection
In All Portions OF tho Ottoman
Empir--Note to BE Eel
lowed by Joint Action.

Paris, Feb. 19.-The Russian foreign
minister, Count Lamsdorff, has COM
municated to the French government
of the adherences of the European
powers TO the joint note to Turkey on
the subject of reforms. thus making
the action Of the powers unanimous.
He accordingly directed the Russian
ambassador at Constantinople to pro-
ceed. in company with Baron Won
Calico. the Austrian ambassador. to
the sultan and present the joint note.
II was at first intended TO present the
Austrian note first. but this was recon-
sidered In order to give added force to
the joint personal presentation. 1t was
also desired to secure the full adher-
ence OF Germany. which was somewhat
conditional at first. The unanimous ac-
| ton includes that of Germany. The
note as fully framed strikes out all
reference to Macedonia. as IL was con-
part of the country by name would In
crease the anti-foreign agitation which
| the powers are seeking to check. The
| note is generalized. so as to cover all
| the localities where Christians reside,
1 the only locality specified being the
| villages in northern Turkey In which
most of the Christians reside. The
| protection of the lives and the com
| pleie safeguarding OF the interests oi
the Christians form the chief features
of the note.
In view of the unanimity OF the pow
ers. the officials here consider that the
sultan Is certain to accept the pro
posed reforms. but II is not intended
to terminate the question with the pre-
sentation of the note. II will be fol
lowed speedily by further joint action
including sending consuls of the va
rious powers throughout the Christian
regions to see that protection Is actu
ally given and that the reforms arr
really carried out. The authorities d.
not hesitate to say that the note Il
only the first step in the plans OF tn
powers for the betterment Of the con
dition of the peoples under Turkisl
rule.
Il An official here said that while tn
United States was not concerned in tn
action directly, yet the protection d.
manded for all Christians would be In
directly beneficial to the America
Christians In Turkey.
