( Special Telegram. ; The mystery of the relations between tin powers and Turkey continues as much a mys. tcry as over. One almost begins to think II Is a mystery to the powers themselves. Then Is no hint of discord between them , and yol there Is no action , or none which goes be yond these slow preliminary movements ol preparation which seem to bo most consist' out with the dignity ot great bodies. A Lon don paper , the Morning Post , published c statement on Tuesday that the sultan was after all to be let alone. This was said tc bo Inspired by the foreign office. It was nol at all likely to bo Inspired by the forelgr office. , which chooses a different medium wher ' It desires to communicate its Inner views tc the outer world. Next day came- message of which the Inspiration and the double ln < "J splratlon was beyond dispute. Lord Sallsburj read out at n conference of colonial agents Ir London a letter from the sultan to himself. II was an odd occasion to choose , If he had tin choice , but It was plain that Lord Salisbury had been asked by the sultan to make the letter public at the. earliest moment. The letter Itself was a remarkable document and It was perhaps even more remarkable that II should have been addressed to Lord Sails- bury. It contained a pledge that the promIsed - Ised reforms In Armenia should be executed , The sultan gave his word of'honor that cvorj article of these reforms nl.ould bo put In force. I see no reason to doubt his sincerity. The radical Journals ot London hoot at him and call him names. Their conception ol the true meaning of the word honor and ol the binding obligation ot a pledge Is their own. IT MAHKS A REVOLUTION. The sultan Is a bad ruler ; he Is an Ori ental ; he has Ideas of government which are abhorrent to us. It Is nevertheless probable , though the radicals cannot see this , that he may not care to lie publicly , or to" volunteer to Europe , a personal assurance the violation of which would leave him disgraced In the eyes of the world his own world Included. Ills Moslems may very wcl ba angry that ho should condescend thu * in hind ulmofelt to the Inlldol , but the-y will think him obliged to make good his bond. The letter marks almost a revolution. There Is not another sovereign In tiuropa who could have ad dressed such an appeal for It Is an appeal , as well as A pledge to a subject. It would have no political validity unless It came from an absolute despot. In a constitutional monarchy qr even In a half civilized state like Ilu&sla a diplomatic document would have to go through the foreign office. Lord Salisbury's comments on it are ex tremely curious. He is profoundly respectful in terms to the sultan , yet ho evidently takes n half humorous view of I5ie letter. He refers to Abdul Hamld as his distinguished and distant correspondent. Presently he calls lilm august , and his message also august. He withhold * his assent from the sultan's appeal to modify his Guild Hall speech. He modifies nothing and he retracts nothing. Ho docs not build tco much on the sultan's promise , for while he accepts It as made In good fallli. ho asks where are the men who can carry out the reforms ? The powers are agreed. Kng- lund Is only ono of them.ho adds modestly , and no moro responsible than anybody else. He Is evidently not over hopeful. ON EASY STREET NOW. English and American papers have been discussing tha lonellncs of England and her unpopularity In Europe. Lord Salisbury thinks It a good occasion for remarking that Great Hrltaln Is now more friendly with the world , and of cctirto the world wltli her , than has been the case for some time past. Ho does not and could not add , but tlie fact un doubtedly Is , that thcsci better relations coln- cldo with his own accession to power. Lord .Salisbury Is better liked on the continent than any Englishman since Lord Deacons- Held. Mr. Gladstone was never liked. Lord Ilosebery conciliated continental good will early In his career as foreign minister , but his career proved a short one. Continental ministers and diplomatists look upon Lord Salisbury as ono of themselves. He'Is trained In the came school of diplomacy , He has the largo Ideas of policy whldi prevail on the continent and seldom prevail In England. No man IB firmer , no man loss likely to yield the just rights of his country or to get the worst end of a bargain. That also U understood , but ( hat , of course , does not diminish , It Increases , the respect and liking In which ho Is held. Ho probably Ima before him some years of power , and It Is probable- that the position of England with reference to other powcri will bo better at tlie end of his tenure than now , 110UHQE01S IS LUCKY. Tim French prime minister Is a clever tactician and has managed to take his Arst vote In the Chamber of Deputies on a ques tion which ensured him a majority. It Is probably pure luck that Arton should bo ar rested Just now. He baa been wanted ever since tbo beginning of the Panama scandal. Ho knows more about It than anybody else. Ho wa the ( military and agent of Daron Itolnuch , the man who bribed deputies and managed the campaign of corruption. The Chamber by 428 to 43 approved the octloii ot the minister. How could they do other wise without teeming afraid of Arton's ex pected revclatloni ? M. Bourgeois was loan lucky on Thursday. A motion for tbe arbi tration of labor dliputca was carried against hint by 261 | o SGI. The ominous thing la not the defeat by a narrow majority , for the ministry refused to make the- vote one of con- lid dice. What Is ominous la that th social- III * should have got a majority on any pre text. They were led by M. Jaurc . The Mil ( or arbitration was Lit bill. He (9 ( tbo moit clcHiutnt and the most dangerous man of tils party , To follow his lead on such a question li to mak a conces lon to socialism which may eon broaiJen Into surrender. The timidity of the majority li manifest. They are ofrald of the artisan vote. But M. Bourgeois , whatever" else may be said ot him , l not timid , and A hotUle vote from the socialists who were expected to be his supporters may brace him up and so do good In the end , Iladical as M. Bourgeois Is , he IB not socialistic In the Jaureg sense , and , like other ministers who have come to power with radical views and alms , circumstances may yet force him Into conservatism. There are two conflicting reports about the Waller case. According to one , Mr. Olney made an offer of settlement , Involving Mr. Waller's release , which the French govern ment refused. According to the other , Mr. Olney Is satisfied that Mr. Waller was reg ularly tried u'nd ' rightly convicted , The two stories arc reconcilable , It you suppose that Mr. Olney would be willing to accept Mr. Waller's release as an act of comity and waive all claim for Indemnity. NOT SO DEEPLY INTERESTED. Soma Idea ot the real nature of the In terest taken In Venezuela by the American press and pjople generally may 'bo gathered from the Interest taken In the Venezuelan revolution. There has been a revolution for a little more than ac3k , In the newspapers certainly , and to some extent In Venezuela , It ha : been subdued several times , and this morning the rebels are completely sur rounded In the mountains near Barcelona. President Crcspo has supplied bulletins on one sldo and Dr. Uojas Paul , from the con venient seclusion ot Curacoa , on the other. The fate of the Venezuelan government has been at stake , not merely a portion of terri tory , but perhaps the very existence of the republic so dear to us "so very dear , " as Mr. Choate said of another part oft he world , yet there has not been a ripple of excitement In the United States. It appears that Venezuela Is an object of concern to us only when the Monroe doctrlno can bo Invoked In her behalf. One aim and purpose ot the Monroe dlctrlne was nevertheless the wel fare of the Central and South American states , to which It might become applicable. Hardly less remarkable Is It that even the Venezuelan controversy with England has almost dropped out of sight , and there tmvo been no fresh declarations of war on privateer or on national account. NEITHER SIDE GAINED. It may be doubted whether the events ol the week have Improved the position either of the New York Yacht club or of Lord Dunraven. The yacht club has appointed a strong committee with power apparently not only to Inquire Into Lord Dunraven's charges , but to take such action In the mat ter an It may think best. The names of Messrs. Plerpont Morgan , Whitney and , In a less degree. Rives , command confidence but If they sit as a tribunal they will sit as judges In their own cause. They repre sent the New York Yacht club and the club Itself declares by Its resolutions that Its honor and dignity ore Involved. If , how ever , the committee will put Itself , as I be lieve It docs today. In communication with the Royal Yacht squadron , It may escape all suggestion of partiality. This Is an Inter national dispute. If we care to have It set tled to the satisfaction of both nations It must be by an International tribunal repre senting both nations fairly. Lord Dunraven has scared a oolnt by offering to come over hero and testify. His offer surprised the yacht club. It Is thought In England most natural that he should come and that he could not do less than offer. What .he has since said at Cardiff In a long speech at , a public dinner In his , honor decs , not add much to his pamphlet H vindicates his good faith , but leaves bis judgment as dls- pu'able as ever. I never undsrstood why Lord Dunraven's good faith was questioned , nor why liu should be "condemned for actIng - Ing on his undoubted belief. That he should have acted sooner may bs admitted. That he should not have brought charges without evidence Is certain. But who knows what evidence he has and why should a cusi affecting to some extent the good will be tween England and the United States be tried In the newspapers while the facts are still unknown ? We all think Lord Dunraven will b ? proved In the wrong , but wo need not hang him first and try him afterward. GOOD-BYE , KEIR HARDIE. Kelr Hardle departs with a curse on hie lips for the country which has forgotten all about him. He exhorts us to become social ists and menaces us with the rifles of dis contented cowboys If wo do not. As more of this nonsense will be heard when he gets home , It may be worth while to repeat that Kclr Hardle Is a thoroughly discredited man In England , and that his followers among English worklngmcn are a weak minority.

The sudden fit of energy which convulsed the sultan of Tur key Into doing something toward suppress ing anarchy in Asia Minor , a result of the marquis ot Salisbury's Mansion house speech , seems to have- spent Its force , and Abdul Hamld Is said to have i elapsed Into his usual lethargic state. Reports of fresh ( mas sacres have reached here from many points ot the disturbed empire , and In brief the eastern question does not appear to be as near solution as It was during the early part of the week. There lias been little change In the nature ot the problem before the powers , however , Their mutual suspicions are acting as drags upon them and delay de cided action upon their part , though the be lief still prevails that nothing short of dras tic measures will bring the sultan to terms for any length of time. This step , however , will not be adopted until all hope of a loyal enforcement of the reforms which Abdul Hniuld solemnly promised to adopt have vanished , A grim story Is published today , taken from a private letter from Constantinople , according to which a diver , while recently engaged In assisting In the work of driving piles for a new pier at the Golden Horn , on reaching the sea bottom was surprised to find himself surrounded by the bodies of a number of men , apparently standing upright around him. Upon Investigation the diver discovered they were the corpses of stu dents , many of whom were known to him personally , who were recently arrested by the Turkish police and afterward taken out In boats and drowned In the BosphOrus for , taking part In the recent disturbances at Stambotil , All the bodies had leaden weights attached to their feet which kept them erect. The diver srtd there wore from forty to fifty In that tpot alone. TlilnU American WhevU Too Lltflit. ( CujiyrlgliteJ , 1833 , liy the AfBOClated 1'ron. ) LONDON.N ° v. 23.

( Cop ) righted , 1S83 , by ric. s Publishing Company. LONDON , Nov. 25. ( New York Work Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Designer Watson was seen today at hlg office In alas gow. He absolutely declined to express any view on Lord Dunraven's charges. He made the rather significant statement , In reply to the question that he had no Intention o going to America to testify to what he saw even were ha asked by the New York Yacht club and Lord Dunraven to do to ; he couli not spare time. Tankersvllle Chan rlalne whose father's yacht Arrow was the las British holder o Amerlca's cup , answering an Inquiry from the World , thinks "It would be a graceful concession on the part of the New York Yacht club If It allowed Lord Dunraven to bo represented on the special committee as showing a desire to not leave the matter entirely to those whose feelings naturally are excited by his accusations. This accusa tion , If proved , would be a reflection oil the club generally , and the committee being a supposed member ot the club , It would be unsatisfactory , If the decision were left en tirely to It. To have allowed the delay In Investigating Lord Dunraven's charge was a fatal mistake. It seems to mo just as If a policeman meeting a man suspected of having In his possession stolen goods were to allow him to go away for a few hours , and then re turn and be searched. " HEALY KEEPS THINGS MOVING. The World hears that the positive state ment that Tim Healy propo939 to establish n dally paper In Dublin to promote his polltl- cil Interests against nationalist majority was expressly denied by Mr. Healy himself at a recant private meeting of the party , when ho repudiated all Intention , to start either a newspaper or a new party , but .though , be expressed formal submission , to the will of the majority , It Is apparent the In ternecine strife of the McCarthylte party la only scotched , not killed , by hh < expulsion from I' * Kovewlne rnmmlttco. The "Weekly Irish Catholic , which Is admittedly Inspired by Mr. Healy , publishes today a list of twenty members of the party who are flatly charged with voting against Mr. Healy , solely because - cause dependent on party salaries. This ac cusation of gross corruption aroused Intense Indignation among the majority and the Dublin Freeman says If Mr. Healy dared make over his name the accusation fulminated nated- anonymously In his paper It would warrant his Instant expulsion from the party altogether. It further points out that Mr. Healy's most active supporters during the last three years Include Arthur O'Connor , T. D. Sulltvan , who get 400 and 500 a year , respectively , from the funds , being the largest allowances made to any members , and that the majority ot Mr. Healy's pupporters , al though dependent on the same funds , have never suffered for aiding him to disrupt the party , and destroy Its sources ot pecuniary help. Mr. McCarthy and a majority of these leaders express themselves entirely satisfied that the expulsion of Mr. Healy Is thoroughly approved by the vast bulk of national senti ment In Ireland and America ; In fuel the only complaints they have received are for not expelling him from the party altogether. MUNKACSY'S NEW POST. The offer by the Hungarian government to the artist Munkacsy of the post of Inspector of flno arts for the kingdom with a salary equal to that of a cabinet minister Is worthy of note. The Hungarian nation having de stroyed every vestige of Its earlier art , save the beautiful church at Funfklrchen and a few things In Transylvania , had determined to create a brand new art of Its own. On the banks of the Danube there Is rising a government palace which comprises within Itself all the beauties of St. Peter's , the Kremlin , the houses of Parliament , the Chinese pagoda , In fact which eventually will embody all the architectural features of the whole world. To decorate Ihls the In genious Munkacsy has been called In , and ho has produced a picture which has cost more than any paint-stained canvas that was over made. Rudolph Aronson sailed today , having finally completed all arrangements for the production of "Gentleman Joe , " at the BIJou theater. New York , early In January.

Tht Spanish government has. already spent more than $30,000,000 , exclusive of the loss of naval vessels , while we. have not spent more than $ GOO,000. We ha.ye no army to pay.

( Copyrighted , 1SD3 , by tlio Associated Tress. ) BERLIN , Nov. 23. The propos3d reforn In the procedure of military trials In Ger many promises to cause the most aerlou friction between the emperor and the cabl net , and may possibly bring about a cablnc crisis. The minister ot war , General Bron sort Von Schollenberg , publicly declared li the Reichstag last winter that unless he woi his majority over to his views of the pro prlety of publicity In alt military trials fo ; ordinary offenses he would resign , and thi chancsllor , Prlncs Hohenlohe , has made i olmllar declaration In public. Emperor Wll Ham , howevej , will not hear of public trlali for sxich cases , fearing that they will oftei furnish the socialists facts and argument ! which will bo unscrupulously used , obi which will be a serious detriment to mill tary dlsclpllns and the general efficiency o the army. In this view the emperor Is upheld by Hen Von Koeller , Prussian minister ot the In terlor , and other Influential men of his en tourage. Hencs friction ly certain to arise especially as the minister for war Insist ! upon introducing a bill to reform mtlltar ) trials at the coming session of the Retells tag. The matter has been discussed esvcra times at the cabinet councils held during tin past fortnight. SOP TO THE AGRARIANS. Another bill whch ( will be Introduced shortly after the Reichstag convenes pro vides for an Increase of the sugar exporl bounties from 1V4 marks to 1 mark ? , whict Is a sop to the agrarians. The new oleo- inorgarlna bill increases the stringency ol the regulations to render the Importation lnt ( Germany of all artificial substitutes foi butter and Urd virtually Impossible , and thi large Increase of thp sugar bounty Is In tended to facllltato the export ot Girmar sugar to America and to put the German ex porters In a better condition to compete.w.ltk the French , Belgian and Austrian exporters , It also means a new moveon the- part ol the German government , as the bounties were to stop entirely In 18D7 , and German ) will have to pay 48,000,000 marks bounties , Instead of 15,000,000. The emperor has ordered the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern to be ready for his reception In the middle of February , and It is reported In court circles that ho will make a scries ol visits to friendly countries In the year , visit ing Cronstadt and St. Petersburg In response to the verbal Invitation of tlie czar , and then going to Copenhagen , England , Portugal and Spain. Recently the punishment of officers for abusing soldiers under their command has been much more severe , two noncommissioned officers of the Alexander Guard Infantry hav ing been sentenced , cue to eight and the other to four weeks' imprisonment for cruelly llltreatlng privates. Herr Von Koeller has Instructed the local authorities to draft Into the army wherever feasible , all men up to 30 years of age , who , after migrating before the age of 17 , and thus avoiding military service , return to tills coun try and apply for German naturalization. Such cAses are numbering Into thousands yearly. Two granite tablets with appropriate In scriptions have arrived hero from German- Americans In New York and San Francisco to bo placed on the Bismarck tower at Got- tlngen. , AHLWARDT COMING TO AMERICA. P.ector Ahlwardt , the notorious anti-Semite , lias announced his Intention of accepting the Invitation extended to him by a number of German-Americans to visit America and lec ture In the chief cities of the United States this winter. * Dr. Julius Bosse , the minister of education , has granted permission to sixty-seven Amer ican women to attend the winter lectures of the Berlin university. As a result , the Ger man woman , many of whom have been re fused permission to attend this course of In struction , have formally complained of this alleged favoritism. There Is no doubt that German women desiring to matriculate still have the greatest obstacles thrown In their way. The professors of the German univer sities are especially opposed to women. One of the renowned professors of German liter ature recently requested the minister of education to prohibit the attendance of women at his lectures , and the historian , Troltscke , suddenly suspended his lecture on seeing a woman In the audience , and led her out of ihe ball. Altogether , 317 American students are entered at the Berlin university 'or ' this winter , and about 742 American stu dents are studying here. A young American student named Swayne , who recently arrived at Heidelberg , has com mitted suicide by lumping from the third story window of the hotel where he was stopping. The motive for his aelf-destruc- lon Is not known. The stay of execution ot sentence granted Louts Stern of New York , In which to return o Klislngen to undergo his sentence of two weeks of Imprisonment and pay the fine of COO marks Inflicted ; upon him for Insulting a public official at that place , has expired , and he court has declared Mr. Stern's ball 80,000 marks ( $20,000) ) , to be forfeited.

A tour ot the leading book stores In Paternoster row shows that the large edition of the novel "Trilby" Is now nearly exhausted , and still larger editions are ulready In the press. In view of the demand It Is understood that On Maurler's new novel , "Tho Martian , " which Is already In the preps , will be withheld for a time and the atory will be first published berially in America.

PenUy has been arranging for the fourth anniversary ot the continuous run of "Charley/a Aunt , " which \ylll shortly be celebrated In fine style.

( Copyrighted , 1S03 , t > y the Associated Prf g. ) CONSTANTINOPLE , Nov. 22.-Vla ( Sofia. Bulgaria , Nov. 23. ) The sultaln has not yet authorized the pas.Mge of the Dardanelles by the extra guardship.i asked for by the representatives hero of Orcat Britain , Italy , Austria and Russia. This Is causing , moro and more uneasiness here. Unless Abdul Hamld submits there Is likely to bo trouble , as the powers Insist that the extrix gunboats - boats are absolutely necessary for the pro * tcctlon of the foreign populalldn hero. A repfesentatlvo of the Associated press had an Interview today on the political slU nation with Towflk Pasha , minister for for eign affairs. Tewflk 1'at'ha assured the cor respondent that everything possible wa being- done for the protection ot the Amer ican and other missionaries In Asia Mfnor , and that those who were desirous of leav ing the. Interior could do so under escort. In view of the disturbed state of the coun try , the mfnlster for foreign affairs sug gested that perhaps this would be the bent course to adopt for the present , and that the work of the. missionaries could be re sumed later , when affairs were brighter. The minister , however , said that the latest news from the provinces wan much more re- 'assuring ' that U had been for some time. Everywhere , he added , on the arrival of the troops , order was being restored , and the Armenians were not being severely treated. Continuing , Tewfllc Pasha remarked that tranquillity prevailed In the vlllayets ot Krxcroum and Adnna , and that the Inhab itants of the districts of.Payas , from which , * place disturbances have recently been an nounced , have been pacified. Referring to the measures adopted by the government with the view of bringing about > the restoration of order In Asia Minor , the minister said he had no doubt the reforms would bo strictly carried out , and that the government would shortly bo able to nn- inounce the. complete restoration ot order In Anatolia. COMMISSION ACTIVELY AT WORK. He declared that the commission appointed to supervise the reforms was actively prose cuting its Tabors and that the .oaininloDiou imd already selected the ofllcluls who were to be appointed to the various ; posts. The names ot these will be published at an early date. As to the cause of the disturbances , Tewfllc Pasha expressed the opinion that there wast no possibility of doubting they were caused by the revolutionary committee * ? of the Armenians , who had for a long time past been sending agents to Asia Minor , stirring up the Inhabitants against the authority of the sultan , and doing everything to bring about outbreaks against the local authorities , which , when suppressed by the Utter , , wer classed as massacres and exaggerated In tha grossest manner possible. He cited one In stance In which a mob of Armenians attacked and killed two Inoffensive Turks. The Turk ish gendarmes thereupon attempted to ar rest the murderers and were fired upon. Re- Infoicemcnts were sent and the police made i second and more successful attempt to ar rest those who were Implicated In the murder ind In the assault upon the police. Tha Armenians resisted desperately and a serious affray was the result , during which six Armen ians were killed and about a dozen wcra wounded. Some time later the story was ) read by the Armenians and when It reached Constantinople the affair had grown Into tha massacre of about 300 Armenians In cold blood , with all the accompanying horrors ivhlch the Armenians usually decorate tliel * itorlcs of such affairs nltli. AB to the prospect of European Intcrvcn- : Ion In .Turkey , Tewflk Pasha could only say ) : hat ho saw no probability of such a step jelng necessary , as the powers , ho added , .vcrc assured that the sultan was In earnest n doing everything possible to restore order n Asia Minor , and they were not likely o do anything which would In any way ; 61 tamper his efforts In this direction , 4\ \ SHORT ON MONEY. Ono of the great dlfllculllcs experienced by the government , mid the pasha , In restoring jrder In the troubled districts wan the trouble * they were having In calling out the reserves. The government's efforts were also hindered jy the state of Turkey's finances and tlio argo 'turns It was necesnary to borrow In > rder to provide for the arming and equipping if the soldiers to bo tent to the troubled dls l . : Tlcts. In conclusion , Towflk Pasha said that all the lales of horror coming from Armenia and ilsewhoro should be taken with considerable alt , as they were either wholly nmnufac- .11 red by tbo Armenlanu or else to strong/ ! : olored by them as to bo no longer recognized ; ven by their concoctors. Another prolonged meeting of the represent * itlves of the powers has been held at the olll- : lal residence ot French Ambassador Cambon , tnd , although nothing is definitely known concerning what transpired , It can be staled ipon good authority that the situation Is still Busing the most grave anxiety to the dlplo * nats , The Impression prevails at the em * msslcs , however , that the porto will acrjulesca a the demand of the powers for extra guard ihlps. But the ambassadors ( ear that the mclflcatlon of the disturbed provinces will ba m extremely dlfllcult task , owing to the prob- iblllty that the measures adopted , or to ba tdoptcd , will not be ot an Impartial mturo ( hat the Mussulmans will bo favored by the Turkish ofllcluls and that the Christian ! will , 10 oppressed. | Owing to tha fact that the police have dl : overed a number ot new revolutionary > lacard > potted In the Psanutla quarter ol itarnboul , the Armenian shops ( hero liavo > ecn closed and extra precautions to prevent rouble are being taken , Several arrnts bava ilready been made and It Is likely that more vlll occur btfore long.
