A PERILOUS SITUATION.

Heretofore Count Witte has been bcset with difficulties serious
and dscouraging in his efforts to carry ont his liberal program. To-
day the situation that confronts him is alarming. II IS not the ienor-
snee Of the peasantry or the secret plotting Of the bureaucrats of the
old regime, but he must battle against the spirt OF revolt in the Rus
sian army and navy. There can be no doubt that the outbreaks al
Sebastopol mark a dangerous crisis. The mutiny of the Brest rcgi-
ment is the first open revolt that has occurred in the whole military
establishment.
Support has been given the government by the regiments.
whatever rash acts may have been committed by individuals or COM
panies. Today the cable brings reports OF an absolute breach Of dis.
ciphne amounting to open revolt. When the troops were ordered TO
fire upon their muunous comrades they shot down their officers in
stead and made prisoner the general commanding the fortress.
Mutiny has been brewing on the ships at Sebastopol for many
months and now The sailors are in open rebellion. Officers they have
not sent away remain prisoners in their hands, while the crews OF
the whole Uxine feet arc reported 20 be disafected.
For the first time, TOO. az such a iuncture the forces i'm revolt
seem to have definite leadership to which they look. The social
rcvoiuionists are directing the movements OF the mutineers; they
head the march Of 10000 men through the streets OF the city; they
declare their followers will neither pilage, burn nor massacre. This

THE SULTAN AND THE POWERS.

What Mr.. Oscar S. Straus, former minister to Turkey, said yes
terday concerning the reason that led the sultan to reject every pro-
posal Of the powers is probably true. His present defiant attitude is
not to be attributed to any faith in the power of his own resistance,
but to the lessening of the potential force of Russia, both within and
without the Turkish empire. Russia, defeated in the far east and on
the verge of a consuming revolution at home, leaves her practically
unable to give material assistance to the powers that are seeking
reforms in Macedonia. The boldness of the sultan's defiance is based
less upon his own strength than upon the 'Iessened power of this
former mentor, Russia.
But ever now the Turk is weakening. The efforts OF his minis
ter of foreign affairs to secure a compromise has proven a fat failure,
as the ambassadors fatty refused to discuss the subject, on the ground
that inasmuch as the powers have been forced to resort to coercive
measures no compromise is possible.
The Turkish government, in refusing to grant the reforms de-
manded, contended that Turkish public opinion would not countenance
submission to those reforms. 1t went further, and in thinly yelled
language animated, threatened IN case the powers withdrew their
warships and dropped all appearances of coercion the Mohanunedan
populace would be likely to massacre Christians in Turkey. The
language of the note is that IF the powers increase the pressure in
order to compel the acceptance of the control scheme, the imperial
government declines all responsibility for the consequences which
may arise from the discomfort among the public"
Herein is a threat of a holy war" with all the terrors such a war
implies. 1t may be only an empty phrase. a bluff, and it can be ac
cepted as true there will be no uprising of the Mohammedan popuIa-
ton for the slaughter of Christians unless it has the support of the
Turkish troops with the connivance OF the sultan. The powers should
take the Turk at his word, however, and teach him by coercion or by
the severest chastisenent that the Christian powers will tolerate no
threats of massacre; that they propose no further to deal with the
sultan as the procrasinating Sick Man of Europe, whose evil deeds
and indictments can no longer go unpublished, even for the sake OF
preserving the balance of Europe.
1t is very probable that when the warsiips of the powers have
left Mitylene, passed the Dardaneles, crossed the Sea of Marmora
and ire ready to take position off the Seraglo. the sultan will dis
cover that neither public sentiment in his domains nor anything else
will prevent him from yielding to each and every demand made upon
him. But if he remains stubborn force should be employed, even
though it result in a war, the outcome of which will be to drive the
"Unspeakable Turk" from Europe.
