tme.
Lord salIsbury , accomlJnlll by his wife ,
went to vllt the queen at Windsor caste last
' night I Is evMent Important decisions have
been arrIved at regarding eastern aftairs ,
sInce tomorrow's Post will publish an article
oflice. The
evidently Inspired by the foreign olce. *
article Is unlertooll to Indicate that the
prime minister has decIded that the utmost
effort must be malc to maintain the integrity
of the Turkish empire , and therefore must In
the first place be directed .0 restoring order
In the disturbed districts. .
Continuing , the article says : "I or the mo.
ment , all thought of cOHclng the sultan
should be laid aside. I cannot be doubted
that he will ( Icier to the wishes of the powers
as soon as circumstances permit 'lm to 10
80. I Is Ilmcult to apportion the blame
justly between the Turks anti the Christians
and It Is b le\'lt on good authority that the
disorders are partly due to the careless order
dlsorlers party carees orler
of the sultan , who commanded the provincial
governOf not to molest the ArmenIans while
they were quiet , or I they revolted to exterminate .
terminate thcm. This order has been interpreted -
preted with much generosity by tie Turks ,
.1 while the ArmenIans thelsllves are blain- .
able to some extent for fomenting disorder.
DEI.AY IN EXECUTING REFOILMS.
"Tho ambassadors of the foreign powers In
general , and Sir Philip CurrIe In particular .
have acquired a position enabling them 10
give Important support to the Turkish government -
ernmont at this critical time. Sir Philp
Currie's instructions are such as to justify
him In delaying ! the execution of reforms
I until the authority by which they are to
be carried out has rlcovtred from temporary
weaknes9. At the present moment any naval
demonstration In the Turkish waters , or un-
due Ilressuo on the ( Turkish government ,
t can only hell ) precipItate a crisis , from which
% "I Turkey's friends can hope to gain nothing
and her enemies ever'lhlng. " .
The artclo II the Post concludes by ex-
pressing the hope that the sultan will be
able to place more confidence In his ministers
and that he can be induced , to abandon his
per onll government , but adds that Sir Phil-
111 Currie and his colleagues must remember
. that they are not only the apostles of ho-
manly , but also guardians ot peace lion.
Francis Seymour Stephenson , M.P. , presi-
dent of the Anllo.Amerlcan committee , says
the sultan hat lately developed symptoms of
a monomania hardly distinguishable from In-
-a. ' sanity , and It Is not unlikely that he will
IHet with the same fate as his brother , Mu-
z rad , the former sultan , amt thus simplify
the task of Eurote.
A IASSADOlS MEET DAI Y.
A dispatch to the Times from Constantinople -
nople says : The sultan : gave au audience to
. the Austrian ambassador 13'rifiay. The mm-
Iters meet daily , and the ambassadors also
MIl 0 meeting today , the Austrian ambassa-
2 dor presiding. The money market Is right-
. mug Itself. The run on the Ottoman bank
affected none or Its thlrty.four branches except -
cept the branch bank at De'rit , where slight
trouble was roported.
. I Is officially announced that an Armenian
disguised as an Arab was arestel at Orfah ,
bringing a letter from the bishop at Aleppo
to the Armenian bishop at Ol'fah , at'ltng him
- to send gun powder and salpetre Jo Zeloun
: to alI the Insurgents , adding : " alonjbon
of Zeltoun will organize an nrmy. The
k Armenians of laTa8h are ready and eager
for the fray. "
The correspondent of the Times learns that
the constitutional party professes mme Thr'nal
nnlmus against the sultan . complaining only
agalnlt him on account of his odious mls-
government. The constitutional party should
_ confounded with Midhat's
not bo wih lllhat'l young
, Turks party. Time members of the consti-
e tutonal party say they desIre only rational
government by peaceful means. They hove
never cared for vengeance or for blood-
shed.
shed.A dispatch to the Standard from Con-
stantnOll ! lays that French omclul reports
. Insist there are at leult 5,000 vIctims as a rl-
\ , suit of the three da ) s' massacre at Sivas.
1 ThIs seems Incredible. I Is noteworthy
\ that the wave of Turkish violence 'Is nol
. . ' sweeping wcstwnrd. The Idea prevails that
, ' - when the inhabitants of the Zcloun dll'lrlct
' have been wiped out the massacres will
temporarily CEas ? , Illvlng for winter and
famine the complete extermInation ot the
ArmenIans.

LONDON , Nov. 17.-The Associated press
has receIved a statement confirming the reports -
ports of the horrIble condlt n at affairs
In the Congo Free State from an American
ml9slonary , who has Just returned to Jurope. ,
The missionary In question , He\ J. 13. !
Iurphy , Is on the ! tar of the American Dap-
tst Misaionary union. Ho has worked inthe
Congo for nine years , all ! returned to Antwerp .
wer' recently by the steamship Leopohivhlle.
His lat staten was Equaton'le , right In
the center of Limo Congo Free State. lie Is
the last arrival from there. He says :
The seal of the government of the Congo
Free State Is at Board . which 18 about 500
miles from the coast , and 2:0 miles from
Stanley Pool , which ought to be the real
Congo center. I takes four weeks to comnmimu-
nleate between these two places , hence It be-
cumes almo impossible for the governor to
manage his vast and unwieldy territory , and
consequently the comnnmiiarles , or petty gO\
ernorl of the interior districts , ho almost
unlmied powers. Tjeo offIcers of the state
are young and Inexperienced. They do not
come out as colonists to develop the country -
try , but In order that they may receive quick
1romoton , , the Congo decoration , and above
all , to get mane ) ' . Of course there ate ex-
ceptiono , but It Is only the few who leave an
Interest In the country and In the well-being
of time people
"It hal been saId by some traders that
the kIng or the Congo Free State Is the
largest slave holder In the donminioru' , and
this Is true ; also the ofilcers by a play upon
words , conceal the fact by calling them
liberated slaves. I leave beji toM by naval
allt other officers of the st1e that a certain
sum per Iwal Is paid b ) the government
to the commlssalre of the II strict , for which
the laves ! are delivered to the navy omeers ,

soldiers are commanded to stop every canoe
that passes the river post. The natives try
to pass wihout being noticed , the the
soldiers fire upon thrm. The ldlers then
seize the canoe and confiscate Its contents.
I the nat\es should lusler up courage
enough to cal them they arc forced to sell

Senator John M. Thurton left list evening
for Washlnglon. In an Interview the senator
said :
"My resignation D general solicitor of
the Union I'ncitlc railroad has been forwarded
to Judge Dillon In New York anl wIll b
icresenteel to the rlelver ot the road In
\resentC1 ,
about a week. I resigned not because of any
real or apparent improprIety In my actlng
as attorney for the receivers , but simply be-
cause the duties ot that \osltol require the
whole tmo and atentolr of tIme man who

"I have little Idea what the prospect Is for
successful reorganization of the Pacific road
under the plan proposed by the present com-
enittee. I have another Ilea or the adJust-
meat ot this government mater amt reor-
garcization of the Pacific properties , somewhat '
what In 110 with the recommendaton of the
goverment receivers , but 10t according to
their method of reaching the reuIts . I be-
levo It would be a great thIng for the coon- '
try at large to have the Union and Central
Pacific lines operated together as one prp'
erly.
erly."At present this noble country Is largely at i
the mercy at the P < cfe line west or Ogden
operated by the Southern I'aclfc. which has
time choice of whether its tramc shall go
vii the Union Pacific or the Southern line.
I think It was one of the purposes of this
government In chartering the rods that
they should continue as' one , Ine . operated
togaher and I think reasonaole legIslation
con be enacted to secure that result.
"I have prepared a bill whIch I shal introduce -
troluce In the senate early-II the sessIon , the
general plan or which Is this : Take a state-
ment of the goverment's claim against the
main line tram the MissourI river to San
Jose as It will stand July I , 1896 , and offer
that claim as a whole for sate to the % llghlst
bIdder who' w1 give 40 or 50 per celt of the
principal or Interest-malte that the mIni-
mum , so the goverment would get nearly
or quie hal ot Is entire claim : sell that
claim to ole purchaser . giving , the purchaser
all the rights of the gO\'lrnllnt , Including
Its right of entry , possession acid fore-
closure. Give to one court of the
United States , presumabty at Nebrsku ,
juri'ellctiomi , over a suit to foreclose on the
entire property and al the foreclosure sale
provide that the property should bo sell as
a whole , a purchasing committee \ to be created -
aled ns a corporation , amt au such to pos-
sees all the corporate P'r that congress
conferred upon the several lines. That , In
brief , Is my Ideal solution of the Pacific
roads controversy and reorganization of the
roads as a through lne" 1 think a com-
mitee could be organized within thirty days
to buy the claim for 50 percept of the entire
amount. The sale would ecll spirited bidding - .
ding , and time amount realized might bl
greater than 50 per cent of tbe government's
claim. The government would certalnl get
all that It could hope to re \ lz from ) any
method of enforcing Its claim.
"I thlnlt the republcans ' should try to or-
ganlzl the senate without , 'cQublnaton wih
the populists. When the two Utah senators
com In In January the republicans will bo
able to organize the senate , I : not before. I

Idea of American protection t amid on whIch
