Cosstaktinoplk. Nov, 24., via Sofia,
Nov. 25. The main question now being
discussed between the porte and repre
sentatives of the powers is the demand
of Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Aus
tria for firming for passage through the
Dardanelles of an extra gnnboat to be
attached to tneir respective embassies.
While admitting that the powers possess
the right to have two guard ships each
in the Bosphorus, the porte considers
that the proposed increase of the num
ber of foreign war vessels there under
present conditions, might excite the
Mussulmans and produce an effect far
from the one desired by the powers. In
addition the porte points out that in view
of the measures taken to preserve order
there, an increase in the number of
guard ships attached to the embassies is
not required. It can be said upon gocd
authority that this is the substance of
the note the porte has sent the repre
sentatives of the powers. " ' J
As soon as the notes shall have been
received and considered at the British,
Russia, Italian and Austrian embassies
a conference of the representatives of
those' powers will be called arid a" joint
reply may be sent the porte. Turkish
representatives at London, St. Peters
burg. Rome and Vienna will be instruct
ed to earnPBtly request the fonr powers
not to insist on their demand.
In political circles the repugnance of
the porte to grant the firming applied
for contributes to the belief said to exist
among the Turkish ministers that to
grant the firmins would be a sad blow to
the dignity of the sultan and a direct
proof of the lack of confidence upon the
part of the powers in His ability to gov
ern and maintain order. Behind this,
it is claimed, the Turks fear the de
manded increase in the number of for
eign guard ships in the Bosphorus i6

really only a cloak for the intention of
the powers to make a naval demonstra
tion in Turkish waters in case of re
newed disturbances in Asiatic Turkey.
"There is no donbt that efforts are be
ing made to maintain order in districts
where disturbances ero threatened, and
to suppress disorders where outbreaks
have occurred. All danger is now
passed, however. The governor of Had
jin, who threatened to burn the convent
here, and set fire to the barley fields,
has, owing to the strong representations
made the porte on the subject by Mr.
Terrell, been re-called, and his conduct
will be inquired into.
In reply to the appeal directed by
Baron von Call's, the Austrian ambassa
dor, to the Armenian. patriarch to exert
bis influence to prevent -another cut
break, which it was feared was the pur
pose of the demonstration the Armenain
central revolutionary committee is al
leged to have planned for this city, the
patriarch eaya no such demonstration is
contemplated, "although," ho ' says,
"despair reigns among them, owing to
the incessant arrests and exiling of the
Armenians." The patriarch says 400
armed Armenians of this vicinity have
recently been exiled to Anatolia.
Hairinik, the local newspaper, sup
pressed last week, because its editor re
fused to publish an article sent him by
the Turkish authorities, condemning the
"intrigues of the Armenians," has been
granted permission to resume publica
tion. ' r
. The absence of news from Zeitoun,
whore the Armenians are collecting in
strong force, and the failure of the gov
ernment to furnish any information re
garding the concentration of Turkish
troops at Marash for an advance on
Zeitoun, are causing, some uneasiness,
besides which no news is obtainable con
cerning the rising of the Druses against
Turkish rule." "
One ot the most serious features of the
whole situation, the financial situation,
continues to hamper the government in
its efforts to restore order in Asiatic
Turkey, and there does not seem to be
any relief.

been hunting. Then he slapped me in
the face and told me to go and cut
some wood. .This made me so angry
that I did not know what I was a doing.
I went into the house and got father's
rifle. . It was in the bedroom. I came
out and stood in the kitchen door.
Father and McKercher were still stand
ing by the fence talking, and mother
was standing near by in the yard.'! '.
