Supreme Court. Special Dlfpatch to The Bes. WASHINGTON , October 11,1 a.m. The supreme court of the United States will convene for the October term to-day. Chief Justice Waite and three of exception of Judge Field , who did-not le-wo San Francis * co until October 4 , will be here npon the reassembling of the court. The number of cases oh tha docket is 902 , about twenty more than had been docketed this time last year. Among the important casea assigned for argu ment for the first and second days for the new term are : Thomas McBride vs. Carl Schurfc , secretary of the In terior , known as , "the Mortnon land cases" ! the Florida railroad cases ; an other Hormcn polygamy case , and the cases of the Louisiana and Ken tucky lottery comraniea. It J prob able , however , that the lottery cases will not bu heard at present on ac count of a technical fnrmality. The United States supreme court has twice held that suits involving the ap plication for mandamus against an of ficer of the United States eannot be sustained after that oflicer has gone out of office and ceased to perform the duties of the position which he held at the time the proceedings were or'gunlly ' instituted. A muidamua muBi be issued against an individual , not against his office. Since ex-Poat- maater-General Kny , as an individual , has no power to obey the mandamue relating to the management of the poitodice department , even should one bo granted , proceedings in their prcsant shape will probably have to bo abandoned , and non-auits begun in tht ) lower courts against ex-Post master General Key's successor. The Mormon laud case of Mctlridd and Schurz has been advanced on the docket in order that it may not have to bu abandoned on a precisely simi lar reason. Should it not be reached before the retirement of Secretary Schurz , proceedings would have to be instituted in the name of the latter'e successor. The only important caset argued last term , and now awaiting a decision are Hallott Kilbourno vs. John ( > . Thompson , suit for damages on account of alleged illegal imprison' mont by order of the house of repre sentatives ; Memphis city debttcase , and the income tax case of Represen- soutative Springer , of Illinois.

The Sultan Must Proclaim a Holy War or Perish Violently. Diplomatic Eolations Liable to be Broken at Any Moment. TURKISH FANATICISM. Siwdil Dispatch to The Eoe. CONSTANTINOPLE , October 9 4 p. m. Several arrests have been made in Stamboul of persons alleged to be connected with a plot to assassinate the sultan. 1'he plot Is believed to have originated with certain influential Mohammedan ? , who look upOh the sultan as the main obstacle to the proclamation and success of a holy war to drive the Infidels of all sorts out of Turkey. The sultan is regarded as altogether tuo cautious and conservative aa the head of the children of Islam , and In the rising ttdo of fanaticism stirred np by aomo of the ministry , it is re garded as highly probable that the sultan may t * swept violently away. Although the ambassador * of the pow ers have not been recalled , the probability ia that they will be if settlement Is not reached immediately. The relations between them and the porto ara now so strained that the ambassadors have recently abstained from attending the sultan's weekly reception. They state in explanation of thu that It is unen durable and dsigreeable ! to meet the sultan and his ministry on a pleasant social basis ono week when thu next they may bo called upon to carry rasping measures and enter upon tedious and bitter controversies. At the conference to day Goschen , English and M. Norl- kofF , Russian ambassadors , informed the porto tint the governments they represented conidored the porte's re cent proposal to withdraw Turkish troopa behind the bayonet to be now too lite. It is expected that the am- bacsadi.r will soon quit Constantinople. When this step is taken , and diplo malic relations cease betweer the porto and the pow era , another move will hav < been made towards the war , whicl seems to be the only possible aolutior of the vexed eastern question in it present form. The consuls at Prig rend having ba n threatened , the am bassadora have cautioned the port * that the consequences will inevitably bo serious should any outrage occur RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.
