AGITATION In THE NEARER EAST

seems destined TO be the storm center,

Stormy political mischief. There

~o1A~AeAoAS' stantinople Of disquiet-

menaces. new Notifications for the
Dardanelles and Bosphorus. the con-

composed OF Turks. Algerans and
Tunisians. the purchase Of men-of-war.
the sendipg of Turkish officers to a
military school IN Austria. a military
convention with Roumania, and, finally.
the rumor that Turkey had Joined the
triple alliance!
Now. while these rumors have troubled
and disquieted diplomatic circles. and
have had deplorable effect upon the
economic as well as political situation
aggravated by the unfriendly and de-
fiant tone of the Constantinople press
toward France. Turkey has had the in
comprehensive cheek to send both her

vizier to France to contract a loan OF
one hundred and fifty million francs
1t has been currently reported until
now that the French. entirely given over
to the worship OF gold, had consented to
the operation. regardless Of the conse-
quences to the country, but capie-
gram from Paris declares that the
French government has absolutely re-
fused the proposition of the Turkish
agents. imposing conditions which the
latter declined. We are told that the
French insisted upon having French
representatives in the Turkish audit
ing department to oversee the account
ing, and also that French manufacturers
should have an equal snare with other
nationalities i'm disbursements for war
materials.

as if the French government had no
existence. Already the people had be-
come anxious as to the employment of
their economies and the government
made known the conditions upon which
the new loan might be admitted to ia

ditions? The Turkish government would
listen to none and David Bey left Paris

cent developments in the near-eastern
question have created no little alarm in
London. where the idea OF re-estab-

nevertheless. had persistentiy repeated
the rtlrnor of codness which had arisen
between Paris and London. Not being
versed in psychology, We do not know
just what the British foreign Office said
to it's Anglo-German subject. but at all
events Sir Ernest, too, returned to Con-

which seems a fact, has created much
alarm in London, notwithstanding the
denials from Bucharest and CONSTANT

IN France, it should be said. less i'm

Turkish convention than elsewhere. That
Roumanta should join hands with TurkeN
