1t must be remembered that Abdul
Hamid had been for many years, not

His Asiatic possessions were vast. The
peoples he ruled were far more nu-

Christians. They will look upon the
death of Abdul Hamid as an act of
impiety, and though Abdul Hamid had
offended the fiercest and most devoted

by the Koran, still his execution would
weld more strongly Muhammadans to-

act.
Every power that has Muhammadans

developments in Turkey with anxiety.
The greatest Muhammadan powers are
in this order-Turkey, England. Rus

Strange to say. Great Britain and the
United States have most to fear from
any religious war that may arise
through the execution of Abdul Hamid.
In the Muhammadan islands of the

it is the same with the English.
