The Terrible State of Afi‘airs in the Sultan’s Realm; , Innocent and Defenseless Armenians Are Being Slaughtered Like Sheep— A_ Massacre of Chris- tians. At no time in the history of Turkey has the situation been so serious as it is now. Armenians and Moslems seem to be about equally desperate, and both to have lost allhope of any succor from the powers of Europe on the one hand or their own government on the other. The sultan is shut up, in his palace, afraid of his life, for he is cursed by Turks as much as by the Arabs or Chris— tians. ‘lie grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, from Whose ability and honesty much was expected, found the burden of a government which; could neither com- mand nor purchase the obedience of its officials or thealoyalty of its troops too heavy for his advancing years. He re— signed, and has been succeeded by a- ministry of very respectable character and ability, but utterly inadequate to the crisis. The heads of the Christian communities are in their turn practical- ly prisoners within their palaces. Throughout the country there is al- ready anarchy. The sturdy moun- taineers of the Taurus, who only within a quarter of a century have acknowl- edged even a nominal allegiance to the sultan, are in arms, and the city of Marash is in terror over the strife be- tween these men of Zeitoon and the equally indomitable Turks. The mas- sacre at Trebizond was only less an outrage than that at Sassoon, in that men only were killed, that the chief hindrance to the looting of the shops might be removed. At Ak-Hissar the local governor himself ordered the kll- ing of 50 Armenian men, telling the Turks to spare the women and children for future distribution. There is a. per— fect reign of terror in the mountains from Trebizond to Erzeroum and Diar— bekir, and letters from the American missionaries at Bitlis, Marsovan, liar— poot and elsewhere tell of personal peril, only to be avoided by incurring greater peril in any effort to escape. In Constantinople itself there has been little or nothing done to quiet the people. A gentleman, thoroughly posted, writes that he knows of but one man who has been arrested for par- ticipation in the riots, when not less than 200 Armenians, most of them ab— solutely innocent even bf the posses- sion of arms, were shot down, and he was released, after two days’ confine- ment, only to kill another Armenian because he “didn’t like his looks.” The death in prison of a prominent Turkish lawyer and editor for presuming to criticise the government for its mis- management, and the execution of eight members of the sultan’s Albanian bodyguard, are indications of the pre- vailing feeling of hostility to the sys- tem that has made one of the most beautiful and fertile lands on the face of the earth a desert, and has driven from the capital almost its entire commerce and trade. Perhaps the most serious aspect of the situation is found in the belief that is gaining ground everywhere, not only in Europe, but in Turkey, that the, whole series of attacks on the Ar- menians has been ordered from Con- stantinople and by the sultan himself, for the double purpose of getting rid of a people whom he detests and show- ing the European governments that any interference 01:. their part will re— sult in worse disorders than those they seek to remedy. There are many things that. confirm this report—the absolute failure of every effort to secure reform, the simultaneous attacks in widely dis- tant sect-ions of the empire, and, most of all, the bitter feeling among those Turks who have sense enough to see that it is suicide to destroy the most industrious and prosperous class in the community. It would seem also as if the ambassadors had the same idea, and realized that nothing short of ac- tual oecupaton by foreign troops would avail anything. That they hesitate is scarcely surprising. IVinter is at hand, and the passes of the. Kurdish and Taurus mountains are already covered with snow. To make a feint without securing complete occupatipn would mean massacre upon massacre. More- over, no satisfactory plan of immediate action or of subsequent partition, such us must come, has as yet been devised, and China, Japan and Corea appear as dangerous elements in the problem. So the English fleet lies in the harbor of Lemiios. the Russian troops rest in heir barracks in the Caucasus, the am— bassadors make daily visits to porte and palace in the vain hope that some impossible solution may yet appear which will make unnecessary the bloody and costly war which all dread, and Turks and Kurds improve every opportunity to kill Christan men, that they may loot Christian shops and ap- propriate Christian women.-——Harper’s Weekly. Rebutting an Ignoramus. One day a. rich, but ill-natured man, who made sad havoc of the French lan- guage, called upon Jules J anin, the famous French critic, and began a ti- rade upon some trivial matter in exe- crable French. After listening polite- ly for some time, Janin at last replied to his visitor in Latin. “What do you mean, M. Janin?” demanded the man, angrily; “I don’t understand . you. I can’t speak Latin.” “Try, sir, try," cried the critic. “You could not speak it worse than you. do French.” —— San Francisco Argonaut. Naturally Resented. .
