The Crafty Abdul Hamid
' Further Delay.
SITUATIOI STILL VERY CRITICAL
The limb-sanders Again Instructed by the
Towns te Insist on Their Demands—The
Sultan In a State of ApprehensionJ-Mors
Disorders Reported.
Conventions. Dec. 9.-'i‘be situa-
tion here on the question of the extra
guardships of the pewors remains un-
changed and continues to afford an exam-
ple of Turkey’s policy of delay and cvs-
sien and a sample of oriental diplomacy
as practiced by the ports. Statements are
constantly reiterated of the continued ac-
cord of the powers on the subject and
their unyielding determination teinsist
upon a compliance with their demands.
Less is heard, however, of the rumors
which were of frequent occurrence in the .
early period after the demand had been
presented that the sultan had at length
decided to grant the necessary ilrmans to
permit the passage of the Dardanelles or
even that he had actually issued them.
Neither is there such explicit announce-
ment any more of the period which is to
elapse before a movement of the warships
of the powers is to commence to enforce
the demands made upon the sultan. Since
the retard of H. M. S Dryad to Salonica
hey no word has been heard of any actual
order or movement to advance upon the
Dardanelles. Opinion continues divided
as to whether the delay‘in taking any ac-
tion to enforce the demands is due to a
fear of causing a fanatical outburst against
the Christians by the Mussulman sub ects
of the sultan or to a dread of a clash usu-
lng between the powers themselvea
Sultan Entertains Russia's Bmhassador.
The reception by the sultan of hi. Nell-
dofi, the Russian ambassador, in private
audience. awakens the usual amount of
speculation as to the true relation of Bus.
sin to the situation and the extent of her
agreement with the views of the powers.
That the sultan lives in a state of con-
stant apprehension of his life was indi-
cated by his demeanor during the course
of the ceremony of the selamlk on Friday,
which involves the departure of the sul-
tan from the walls of the palace and his
appearance in public life for a sort of re-
view of the troops attended by many high
ofllclals, followod by prayers at the
mosque. .
On Friday. as the sultan was quitting
the mosque, a man attired as a Turk and
bearing a petition forced himself through
the soldiers to the sulton‘s carriage.
The sultan was seen to become much
agitated and deathly pale, but the man
was promptly arrested and hustled off to
prison without having accomplished any
harm to the sultan's person.
Explicit instructions are again received
by all the ambassadors to insist upon the
admission of the guardships, but. as has
been stated, without effecting any change
in the situation.
Authentic details have now been re-
ceived of the Siwas massacres. They show
that the slaughter began on Nov. iii and
continued for a week following. It is
known that 1,200 Armenians and lo
Turks were killed before there was a ces-
sation of the bloody work.
Armenians Are Starving.
Lennon. Doc. 0.—The Marquis of Sci-
isbury has written to the treasurer of the
Armenian relief fund to the oflect that
the consul at Mush, through the ilritish
ambassador. Sir Philip Currie. reports
that the Armenians of the liitlis district
are in danger of starving: The treasurer
has forwarded £4,000 for ilitlis, Khnrput,
Erzerum. Manila and Trebizond. .
The Daily News' Constantinople corre-
spondent says: .
“It is probable that as a result of nego-
tiations Said Pasha will voluntarily quit
the British embassy. Lord Salisbury has
telegraphed his approval of Sir Philip Cur-
rie's conduct. Meantime the gates of the
embassy are closed, and the force which
Was landed from tho embassador’s yacht
Imogene patrols the ground. '
"Russia's hesitation has ceased. It is
curently reported that M. Nciidoff, the
Russian ambassador, has given the sultan
the czar's message insisting upon the on-
try of the guardships."
The Constantinople correspondent of
The Times confirms the report telegraph-
ed to The Daily News that M. Nelldeif on
Saturday gave the sultan the'cznr’s mes—
sage insisting on the entry of the guard-
ships. This correspondent adds:
“I believe that an irade is imminent
appointing the Kurd, Said Pasha. as grand
vizier. It is said at the British embassy
that the Sultan has named Kutebuk to
see Said Pasha and learn if the latter has
determined to leave the country."
The Rome correspondent of The Times
hours from Constantinople that the em-'
13 bassaders have agreed to propose a definite
date for the“ sultan's acceptance of the de-
mand of the powers for extra guardships.

NW Your, Dee. 9.-'i‘hs convention of
the American Federation of Labor was
opened this morning at Madison Square
garden. Labor leaders from all over the
country, Canada and Great Britain are
present to lend their prestige to the im-
porinnce ef the meeting asan assembly
of the leading representatives of the or-
ganlztd working people of the United
States.
Scores of the delegates arrived in town
yesterday. Some of the leading ones put .
up at the Ashland iiouse. infamy John
(Jewry. representing the Miners' Fedora»
tion of Great Britain. and James Mawds-
icy, member of the Textile Workers' union
of England Messrs. Cewey and Mawds‘
Pussies“ n'umna.
lsystoppcd from the gangplank of the Cu-
narder Etrurlant ii a. in. yesterday. .They
were met by Labor Leaders Samuel Gom-
pcrs, Peter J. McGuire. John“ ii. Lennon
and Daniel Harris, who grhbted them
with speeches of welcome. The English
delegates went sightseeing during the
day.
At a meeting of the Central Labor
union last night the delegates were re«
oeived with hearty cheers.
Mr. Cowey of the coal miners said:
came to this country with wonderful feel-
Ings of expectations. We must remember
that our common object should he to
ameliorate the condition of the working
class allover the World. The trade unions
of Great Britain are not a happy family
by any means.
“There are runny unions of unskilled
labor in our country. They expect a big
return from small dose and initiation
fees. You can’t fight capital with hunger
and starvation. Men who are not willing
to help themselves should not expect as-
slstance from others.
"i have no sympathy with a union that
commences a strike one week with a
grand display of fireworks and the next
has to go begging to the public for assist‘
ance. Workingmsn aboidd learn to pay
dues. Labor no longer fights individual
employers, but must fight large combina-
tions and syndicates." ’
Among other delegates who spoke were
Delegate Mawdsley and old Bob Howard
of Massachusetts.
Very little business was transacted at
the preliminary "looting today. The time
Was taken up with opening ceremonies
and receiving the report of the committee
on credentials. Mr. .larh W. Sullivan dp-
livered an address on behalf of organized
labor, and President Mciirida of the
American Federation of Labor replied.
Thoconvoution will remain in session
for more than a week. Many important
questions will come up for debate and ac-
tion. Among the matters to he consider’ .
cd is the subject for a gem-ml movement
for the eight hour work day on May l,
