London. Sept 5.-The Morning Post
publishes q letiar from It's Constan-
tinople correspondent IN which he dis
cusses the Beirut agair and the posi-
tion OF the American missionaries in
Asia Minor.
He says; "Tlsngs have arrived OF a
crisis. The United States must either
insist upon tho portoin listening to it's
representations regarding American
converts or drop the missionaries al
together The latter course is natur-
ally impossible. and the sending Of a
squadron has great significance as
showing a determination on the part
OF America TO take an active part 10
the Turkish question. One result OF
this step viii probably be TO induce
the sultan 20 raise his representative
at Washington TO the rank Of an am
bassador. 80 that the United States
can be equally represented here. At
present America is at q decided disad-
vantage IN this respect compared with
the other first class powers. Nobody
can quite foresoe the ultimate attitude
Of the United States. but It is almost
certain that her weight will incline on
the side Of the Christian against the
