Constantinople, (via Sofia, Bulgaria), Nov. 19. The sultan for some time haa been in a state of the greatest alarm, which told terribly upon hia nerves. Rumors of the discovery of plots against his life became so frequent that they ceased to attract attention.

A special from New York to the Chronicle says: Two interesting and significant stories were told in the Brooklyn navy-yard Which have a special bearing on. events now in progress of development. The first relates to the young German em peror, who made several visits to the white - Squadron when it was at Kiel. One day he was talking with a celebrated American captain. "Captain," said he, "'I Eee that most of your country's warships are ifast cruisers. What do you call them? Ah, ommerce destroyers, do you not?" "Yes, Emperor," said the American, i "We've been watching you on this side," the emperor went on, "and we have come to a conclueion that these ships are built for a war with England. What other nation has commerce to de stroy?" There was silence after this, for our captain had said more than he intended to. Grand Duke Alexis, who Is a full Rus sian admiral and head of the Ruspian navy, was also a frequent visitor to the Americans at Kiel. One day while watching the Columbia, the grand duke said to the captain : "I'm glad you Americans are rebuild ing your fleet. Do you know what most impressed me when I visited your country? Tne first thing was your won derful natural wealth, and, second, the absolutely inadequate means at your disposal for national defense. I have heard the project of capturing one or two of your great cities and holding for ran- Bom deliberately discussed by officers of the European fleets, whose countries have hard work to make ends meet, and they meant it, too, but they were told that Russia and the United States are friends."
