NEW YORK , Nov. 23. ( 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.

{ CojijrlKhled , 1SW , by the Associated 1'rcss. )
LONDON , Nov. 23. 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.

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.

trials at the coming session of the Retells

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

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 ,

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 ,

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. The police are atrlv-
ng to dltcover where the Armenian revolu * '
