Quoted on al unexamoled scale for demonStrat-
ing the hest lines Of strategical defence against
attack from Germany. This IS not a fortunate
coincidence nor is il an encouraging sign that
naval experts are constantly reiterat1ns their
forecasts of war between Germany and England
and urging the necessity for largely increased
ornaments.
The Kings meeting with the German Emperor
on the way to Marienbad may help to restore
hetter feeling but commercial rivalry is an in
supera BILE obstacle to the establishment of an
entente between the countries as sincere as the
existing friendship between England and France;
vet the gloomiest pessimist cannot suggest any
adequate cause which will bring England and
Germany into conflict in the near future
The relations between England and America
were never more cordial The prolongation of
the existing arrangements for the regulation OF
the Newfoundland fisheries has been easily ef-

mainly responsible for the delay in making up
the case for arbitration at the Hague tribunal,
has proposed what is virtually continuance Of

THE SULTAN'S COUP
4 COMEDT IN ST4TECRAFT
But 1t Might Turn Out TO Be a
Great European Drama.
Especial by French Cable 20 The Tribune
TCopyright, 1905. by The Tribune Association.

london July o5-The Sultan's coup d'etat in
granting a constitution his Turkish subjects
is a dramatic surprise in European affairs he
is moi credited 10y English leader writers with
bivbmjnded motives or sincerity in revlvlng
Midhat's scheme which was played thirty-t"o
wears ago hut he cannot be reproached for a
lack of self-possesson in making a sudden
change Of front After dismissing the Grano
V;zier and appointing progressive ministers IL
was perhaps the easiest and safest method OF
.ealing with the Young Turkey movement ana
suppressing the military revolt in Macedonia
The soldiers were mutinous, new leVies were
lacking and there was no money for paying
troops
His sudden determination to give the country
q ser.lblance OF liberal institutions was not
sign of fright so much practical PROOF that
the willy sovereign was astute in adapting MINI
self TO a difficult situation He was not heIp-
less as he had in a pigeonkole a ready-made
draft Of a constitution under which new order
could be proclaimed and general elections could
be provided
The travesty of liberal government recently
enacted in Persia leads suspicious observers in
the press TO forecast q similar bit OF farcical
comedy in Constantinople Certainly it is
most serious undertaking TO put Midhat's rusty
mechanism in operation in country accustomed
10 military rules and despotic administration
Probably the Sultan is pitting body of po-
lit!cal reforners against the military insurgents
precisely as he has set one European power
against another so many times.
The Turkish comedy may easily become a Eu-
ropean drama of momentous Importance. The
powers are not prepared for a crisis SO tremen-
dous as the downfall Of the Ottoman Empire

PEACE AMONG POWERS.
France Erpects Great Results from
lSultan's 4ctiOn.

Paris. July 25-The general opinion in French DO
htca circles IS that the Sultans theatrical restora-
ticn OF the phantom constitution Of 1876 prota bIy
viii end IN farTeachng reforms. which will trans
form Turkey and put natural end to the Near
Eastern problem. which frequently has brought
Europe 10 the verge Of war.
This opinion is not based on the idea that Sultan
Abdul Hamd is really converted to constitutional
ism. but on the complete change in the Turkish
situation since the Sultan fooled the powers and
his subjects in 1876 The Temps to-day points
cut that the Young Turks. with their hands on the
army, were able TO strike at the heart of abso-
lutism. 1t not the situation in Macedonia
Hhich forced the Sultan surrender, the Temps"
says. He would have tried repression in Mace
donia again. but when the troops across the Bos-
porus rebelled he was fearful OF being caught be-
tween two fires All this proves that even the
Turkish censorship could not stIfe news Of what
happening across the frontiers in European
Russia and Asiatic Persia The Young Turks will
let themselves be quietly duped they VIII come
in only if the Sultan is sincere. If not. the fight
viii be resumed
From the point OF European politics, the Temps
thinks that the consequences OF this move are in
calculabSe. In the Near East the only factor with
which the powers did not reckon was the Turkish
people the Temps continues. With them on
the scene the whole question becomes transformed
The establishment OF political order and progress
would change everything. The powers must ad-
journ their programme for reforms in Macedonia
until the result of this nationalist movement be
comes known
The French Foreign Office also shares the view
that the powers must wait and adopt position of
benevolent neutrality toward the Young Turks.
The only thing which France would object would
be an attempt the part OF any power TO take
advantage OF the present situation.
