I.tvr.nroor., Sept. 55. Croat num
bers of pcoplu assembled curly this
morning In the vicinity of Honglor's
circus to hear tlio tidiliess which Mr.
(ladstono huil nnnoiineed Ills willing
ness to make before tlio iiioctirifr
railed by tlio Reform club to protest
iRolntt tin; recent massacres of Ar
menians nt Constantinople iind else
where in Turkey. Tho doors wero
opened nt 10 o'clock and nn liotif later
tlio auditorium wis packed.
The first resolution, proposed by a
Conservative nnd seconded by u Lib
"ral, rend: "I'hitt this meeting do
Mres to express It Indignation and
iibhnrrcnou of the cruel treatment to
which Armenians are Ivhifr subjected
by their Turkish rulers and of the
massacres which liavo recently oc-
GLADSTONE TODAY,
.sirred nt Constantinople, which are. n
disgrace to the civill.atlou of thn
niuetucnth century." It was adopted
by iiculauiatloii.
Wlien Mr. (Hailstone nrnsp to speak
bo moved thu following resolution
which was received with renin rkublo
-ti t liiislasm-
"That this meeting trusts that Her
Majesty's ministri-i mall, ng to thn
fullest extent the terrible condition in
which their fellow Christians are.
placed, will do every thint; possible,
to obtain for them full security t-tul
protection, and this meeting assures
Her Majesty's miiiiitierMhut thuy miiv
rely mum the cordial support of thu
lili.eus of Mverpnol in whatever
Mens they may feel it necessary to
lake for that urpi s ."
Mr. ISI.idstouo doolaied his adhesion
to the principles contained in the res
olutions, ami said lie came here (not
claiming any authority except that, of
u cllic u of Mverpool.
Mr. (Slmlstoiic then said: "I doubt
If it Is nn exaggeration to say that it
was la thu Mitliiu'.s palace mid there
only tluit the inspiration has been
hupplicd and tlio policy dcvlsud of thu
whole series of inasMicres, hen the
Miltnn carries massacres into Ins own
fapilal under the eyes of the ambas
sadors, lit) appears to have gained Hie
very acme of what it is possible for
bltn to do. Hut the weakness of
diplomacy, I trust, it about to bo
utrengthcneil by the echo of this na
tion's voice.''
Mr. (iludstnue then alluded to thu
Mipiucucss of the ambassadors of tlio
powers at Constantinople and said:
"I believe that thu continued presence
of thn ambassadors at I onslantinoplu
has operated as a distinct countenance
to the sultan, who is thus their rceic.'
nici ally. Hut, while urging the
government to act, It docs not follow
that even for the sake .if the great ob
ject in vlnw (Jreat llrltaln should
transplant Rtirope Into a statu of war.
On the other hand, however, 1 deny
that I'ngluiid must abandon her owii
right to Independent judgment mid
nllow herself to be domineered by the
other powers"
Inclosing, Mr. Gladstone said: "We,
buve a just title to threaten Turkey
with coeiclon that docs not in itself
mean war, and 1 think that the tlr.st
Htep should bo the recall of our am
bassador. And ithhould be followed
by the dismissal of tho Turkish am
bassador from London. Such a course
is frequent and would not give thu
right of complaint to nnybi.dy. When
diplomatic relations aro suspended
Kugland should inform the bultan that
die would consider the means of en
forcing her just and humane, demands.
1 do not believe that Kuronu will
make war to Insure the continuance
of massacres more terriblo than ever
recorded in the dismal, deplorablo
history of human crliuo."
Mr. Clndstonu spoke for about
twenty minutes. He was in good
voice it nil did not seem fatigued when
bo had llnl.shed.
