LONDON , April 24. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) -Followlng
the example of the Canadian Provincial As
sembly , a movement Is being started on the
lory side of the House of Commons to com
memorate the queen's record lelgn by sing
ing "God Save the Quceu" In the House
of Commons on. her majesty's birthday. This
would be , of course , n startling Innovation ,
but the unique character of the occasion
has been held to warrant It. Appeals , both
public and private , have been made to the
Irish members to bury the hatchet for once
and Join In thin demonstration. They have ,
however , steadfastly refused to take any part
In It , and If they do not actually raise a
counter demonstration by responding with
"God Save Ireland , " they will at any rate
testify theii disapproval by withdrawing In
a body from the house. In these clicum-
stances the policy of pcrslttlng In such a
demonstiatlon Is much questioned , as It
would only accentuate the fact that , us far
as Ireland Is concerned , the queen Is In
tensely unpopular , and that her iccord-rclgn
finds that countiy more disaffected than at
her accession. Even it her neglect of the
sister country did not show It , there Is a
well founded belief that the queen dislikes
Ireland nnd the Irish. Her Intense super
stition cniiECs her to fancy that whenever
any member of her family visits Ireland a
stroke of 111 luck follows. She has taken
good care herself not to tempt fate In
that way , and she has been In Ireland only
twlco In tlxty years.
A piofoundly painful sensation was caused
In London this morning by the reported sud
den death of the duchess of Yqrk , who Is
dally expecting her accouchement at York
Cottage , Sandilngham. The origin of the
canard Is unknown , but It brought a rush of
Inqulrlcti to Marlboiougu house , where It
v\as dcclaicd to be groundless , Tbo duchess
Is , possibly , the most popular member of
tbo rbyaPfanilljvand her death .would prob
ably have put an end to the contemplated
jubilee celebration. ,
CALL HIM JOHN.
A controversy has been started In the
public press here as to the correct st > Io of
addressing our new ambassador , who , Mr.
Astor's paper declares , should bo called
"lion. " John Hay. Mr. Lulrd Clowes wrltca
to point out that the only American en
titled to prefix "Hon. " Is the lieutenant gov-
cwor of Massachusetts , while several other
authorities combine In correcting the Pall
Mall Ga/cttc , showing that Colonel Hay
should bo entitled to "excellency , " By the
way , the tioublo at Washington over Sir
Jullen Paurcefoto's cl.ilm to precedence has
provoked Illtlo comment hcie , except In a
tow of tlio "Jingo" papers , who scent In It
a fresh di'Elro on the part of Arneilcanu to
humiliate England.
The hctback of the Turkish army has
caused Immense elation among the Greek
sympathlzcro hero , and the hope Is widely
expiessed that the llttlo nation may after
all hold Its own against Its big opponent.
Hut In military circles It Is recognized that
unless Iho Oieck armj can strike a deci
sive blow Immediately the airlval of fur
ther TuikUh resoncs will place the result
bcjond doubt. The opinion Is strong hero
that Lord Sallsbuiy bliould force the pow
ers to Intelvene now , while succes-J Is with
Gieece , In ordci to save her from the horrors
rors of a Turkish conquest and prolonged
misery of paying a heavy wnr Indemnity.
Hut Lord Sallbbuiy Is still on the Rlvleia ,
entirely out of touch with public sentiment
hele , while all the other ministers aie
touring or golfing , or Indulging In some
other iccicatlon away In the country.
SALISUURY SHOULD RETURN.
Conclusive proof that dissatisfaction Is
beginning to bo felt by the toilca them-
si'lvcs at the culpable liiortiu'cs of the gov-
einmcnt Is afToidcd l > > the comments now
dally made In the mlnlHtt'ilul prros on Lord
Salisbuiy'H absence from England. When

Commons n few dajs before adjournment

turn of Lord Salltfbmy because of the bad
Impression cicntcd alnoail by his appar
ent carelessness about the situation and the

by. the time occupied In communicating

LONDON , April 24. The last few days
have developed a. dramatic situation. The
sudden removal of Edhcm Pasha , the Turkish
commantlcr-ln-chlcf , and the fact that he
, has been replaced by Osman Pasha , the hero
j of Plevna , has caused great surprise , In view
of the glowing accounts which the corrc
Epondcntn In the flcld sent out of Edhcn
Pasha's brilliantly conceived plan of cani'
palgn , which was represented as working
like a machine , and which gave the work
the Impression that Turkey had found Ir
him a second Von Moltkc.
It Is said now that Killiem Pasha Is In
dlsgiace , that ho has had little previous
experience In warfare , that ho Is a creature
of Izzct Key , and he foil when that favorIte -
Ito of the sultan went down. It Is also
etitod that the sultan Ins hitherto been
afraid to send his best generals , such as
Achmct , Fuad and Keschld Pasha , to the
front , they being Instead kept In the
moat remote provinces. No remarkable
development , however , Is cvpectcd from the
appointment of Osman Pasha to command
the Turkish forces operating against the
Greeks In Thessaly , as , apart from the dan
gers of swapping horses at the present crit
ical Juncture , Oaman Pasha will bo hampered
by the sultan's Jealous determination to di
rect the military operations from the Ylldlz
kiosk. The great value of Osman Pasha's
presence at the front la his popularity with
the army.

VIRTUALLY A PRISONER.
Osraan Pasha hns virtually been a prisoner
In the Ylldlz klcak. The sultan dreaded his
popularity , although he used It as a protec
tion , aluajs having Osman Pasha accom
pany him on his weekly drives upou the oc
casion of the Sclamllk , when the sultan him
self , a sallow , scared , miserable-looking
figure , sat facing the horses , with his griz
zled , resolute-looking old marshal opposite
him. la h's position of palace marshal
Osman Pasha had to seal evorjr dlsh served
the sulfan arid never left thti grotinds'of the *
palace without Imperial permission.
Said Eddin Pasha , who Is to succeed
Ahmld Hiflz Pasha In command of the Turk
ish army at Janlna , Is the general the sultan
sent to Crete In December last to carry out
the reforms there In accordance with the
sultan's Ideas. The ambassadors , however ,
demanded Said Eddln's recall , and after a
threat from tbo powers of serious measures
If the demand was refused , the sultan yielded
and Said Eddln was recalled.
Advices received here from Constantinople
say the war news In Turkish newspapers Is
very meager and altogether fails to give
an Idea of the deck's stubborn resistance ,
or of the Turkish losses which must be con
siderable. The Turkish authorities are
equally reticent , and the foreign embassies
nro destitute of Impartial news , and will be
so until the military attaches arrive at the
seat of operations.
TURKISH ARMY.
The cabinet council at the Ylldlz kiosk
yesterday dlscufseuj the enrollment of volun
teers and decided that as the treaty of ner-
lln forbids the use of Irregulars , all the
volunteers must wear the Turkish uniform
end Ecrvo under regular officers appointed
by the government. Out of 20,000 Albanian
volunteers , one-half bavo accepted these con
ditions and the others , who refused , have
been bent home. An official report gives
the entire number of Turkish troops under
arms as being 357,000 , of which 217,000 are
In European Turkey.
Piom Athens It Is said thit discontent
exists there with the fact that King George
has not yet started for the front. Ills

The feeling at Athens against Russia still

Greece and Turkey monopolizes public at
tention lu Germany. The opinion Is ex
pressed In political and diplomatic circles
that the war will not finish soon and lhat
It will not remain local very long. It Is
t'tated In government circles ! that Germany'o
Interests have already been vitally engaged ,
and It seems to be a foregone conclusion ,
whatever the final volume of the present
troubles , Uiat the political readjustment of
the oriental question will also lead to a
readjustment of the powers' alliance. The
entente between Getmany and Austria
on one side and Russia and Trance on the
other , will , It Is believed , become much
closer In the near future. Tlio pour parlours
between Prlnco liohenlohe , the Imperial
chancellor , and M. Hanotaux , the Trench
minister for foreign affairs In Paris , while
only touching upon the mutual attitude of
Germany and France In the oriental qiict
tlon , were significant , as also Is the visit
of Emperor William to Vienna nnd that
of Emperor Trancls Joseph to St. Petersburg
A diplomat who was a member of Emperor
William's suite during the trip to Vienna
said to the correspondent of the Assoclatnd
piesb : "The ) main efforts of the powers will
bo turned toward keeping Greece confined
to narrow limits , but the SUCCCM of their
endeavors Is doubtful. If Turkey utterly
touts Greece , all will bo well , but if Greece
meets with even a temporary succets , all will
bo chaos , as there are good reasons to sjo-
poct that Bulgaria , Servla and Montenegro
are only waiting for a chance to break loose ,
and especially Bulgaria , which is hankering
after Macedonia herself. "
FERDINAND BUYS GUNS.
The visit of Prlnco Ferdinand of Bulgaria
to Berlin was an event of moro than ordi
nary Importance. The prince's audience
with the emperor was not satisfactory , ills
majesty strongly dissuaded the prlnco from
engaging In warlike enterprise ? , " and "plainly
warned him of the unpleasant consequences
Prlnco Ferdinand , however , was apparently
not discouraged , for ho entered Into nego
tiations with Berlin financiers for raising
a Bulgarian loan , and also entered Into nego
tiations with the Krupps for a supply of
quick-firing and heavy guns.
The principal Innovation which Germany
will propose at the International postal con
gress at Washington will be the raising of
the the letter weight fiom fiftecni to twenty
grammes. This Is opposed by Trance and
Rclglum , they being the two main transit
countries who would lose largely thereby , as
the fees would not he Increased with the
Increased weight and increased work. In
fact , Germany mopes s to rciilt tntiiely
the transit fees hitherto pild for fioso eiun-
trlcs. On the other ban ] , the proposals lo
raise the limit of post.il money orlers to
1,000 fiancs ( $200) ) andto reduce the fees
thereto , aswell as to Increase postal pacl'-
agcs to D kilos , nro looked upon as certain
to be accepteJ.
BISMARCK RECOVERS.
Prlnco Bismarck has quite recovered his
health and has notified his Hamburg ad
mirers that ho will accept an ovation and
torchlight procession on May 10 , the anni
versary of the Frankfort peace of 1871.
German immigration for the month of
March has again diminished , being only
1,938 persons , as compared with 3,120 per
sons during March , 189G ,
The Indictment of Dr. Peters , the German
African commlfrrtloncr , whose trial on charges
of lll-ticallng African natives hca com
menced In private before the disciplinary
court for German protectorates , charges him ,
firstly , with arbitrarily hanging a negro boy
In 1S91 , nnd with hanging a glil In 1892 ; sec
ondly , with unjustly making war upon Chief
Malamla In November , 1891 , and thirdly , with
furnishing Incorrect reports fci the superior
authorities. Dr. Peters protested that ho
was not guilty and affirmed that ho believed
that ho held the power of life or death over
all the blacks of the station , except these
who wcro members of the German colonial
forces. He admitted having undertaken ex
tensive campaigns contrary to his Instruc
tions , but ho contended the situation was
then dangerous , as an attack upon the part
of the Warongos was feared. He claimed ho
Inflicted the death penalty In order to i > ave
Gorman piettlgo when tbo station house was
broken Into , as ho had previously annouccd
that the penalty of death would bo the pun
ishment for so doing , the question of sex
being quite subordinate.
Peters admitted that lie had flogged three
negroes , but ho denied ho had executed his
concublno for falthlcEsncss , explaining that
she V.JH executed for conspiracy with a native
chief against the expedition Lieutenants
Pachlma and Janctichck testified on the part
of Captain Peters The trial closed today
with a verdict sentencing Captain Peters to
dismissal from the Imperial bcrvico and to
pay the cost of the trial.

LONDON. April 21. Tlio ilomlnant note of
everything In London Is war U Is dlscuKsed
eagerly by all classes , from cabinet mlnls-
tcis down to the riff-raff of the cast end. al
though all but the speclallbtb are muddled
as to \\hcreabouts of most ofl the places
named. In consequence , there IB Bitch a de
mand for \\ai maps that the publishers have
been unable to supply It.
The comments heard show a curious state
of affairs. The sympathies \\tth the com
batants run on party lines , the conservative
lauding the Tin Us and the liberals hoping
for Greek success while In Ireland , where
ono would expect universal sjmpathy foi
Greece , there Is an nmalng amount of plau
dits for Turkey on the giound that the
Turks are such good fighters. The comments
on the war are becoming more or ICES heated.
Two letters from Mr. Gladstone slnco Mondiy
have added fuel to the lire. He sajs that
the six powers , "with the Incomparable
nialadroltness which has distinguished them
throughout , ha\o said , In acs ! , to the Greeks ,
'You shan't carry on your work In Crete.
Wo will do the war work of the Turks
there. ' It Is thus , they have driven the
Greeks Into Macedonia. "
Continuing , Mr. Gladstone remarks : "It
Is an Incredible sbamo that the Incomparable
bungling of the powers and sacrifices of
honor , decency and humanity In order to
preserve peace , have caused war. "
The war has opened wide the purses of the
Greeks abroad , and quantities of drafts of
from $5 to $50 are coming from tbo United
'dtatea and Canada for ? { he Grcolc defense
fund. Probably close upon $5,000,000 have
passed through London for Gicece during
the past thrco weeks.
A prominent London banker said : "Wo
only rcpicsent four United States and Cana
dian hanks , from which these small diafts
come ; but if these icprescnt anything like
a fair piopoitlon of the sums forw aided by
other American banks , which , we think , Is
undoubtedly the case , the total amount of
money sent to Gicece from America Is al
ready vcrv close upon a 1,000,000. Besides
tliCBo American contribution the Gicek
merchants of London arc forwarding laigo
subscriptions oJ money and matcrlil. "
The Dally Chronicle and the Star have
opened funds for the wounded and the
amounts subscribed will bo sent to the crown
pilncebs of Greece.
Itcgarding the course of the war , the As
sociated press learns that the ambassadors
of thrco of the powers In London believe the
war will bo over In thicc weeks , and that
when the Turko capture Larlssa the sultan
of Turkey will appeal to the powcis to Intervene -
terveno In the Interests of peace. In the
meanwhile , It Is Bald that Great Ilrltaln has
declined to agieo to the proposition of Count
Muravlcft to abstain from Intervention until
ono of the belllgcrentb appeals for help , the
matquis of Salisbury being of the opinion
that such an appeal will never bo made , and
that In the meantime circumstances may
arlso neccssitatinE action upon the part of
the powers. _

Prlnco Mnvrocordito , lately Greek minister -
