The Barbarous Alternative Enforced by the Sultan. HOW THE SULTAN DEFIES CHRISTENDOM Russia and England Oppose Each Other and Hamid Laughs. A CLEA-R VIEW In the New York Outlook Dr. Cyrus Ham- lin, who from 1837 to 1876 lived in Turkey as a missionary unger the American board, and as president of Robert College, gives a succinct and forcible explanation of the dis- tressing crisis which has arisen under the Present sultan. He says: The administration of government in the Turkish empire is more evidently affected by the personal character of the sultan than is true of any other government of this era. The writer has lived under three sultars—Mahmoud II, Abdul Medjid and Atdul Aziz. The personafcharacter and pelicy of each one was felt throughout the empire. It is not so with the Russian despotism. That goes on the same frém age to age. Its policy never changes. For 400 years. {t has had Constantinople con- stantly in view. It has made vast additions of territory end population. It has the greatest army in the world. It is building a great navy, and it is gradually approach- ing the glitterirg prize that inspires its toil Turkey has no invariable policy whic! centrols successive sultans. Mahmoud II was a great reformer. He destroyed the Janizaries, reorganized the army, relieved the “ryals” (Christians and Jews) of many burdens and humiliations, and aimed to establish friendly relations with European states, and to have a regular cabinet of miristers. The ryahs regarded him as their friend. The fanatical Mositems called him a giaour. He employed many Armenians in the under offices of state. One was his one collector of the cus- chief architect, Armenia, Map of Disturbed District in. Asia Minor. toms, another the head of the mint; and he made an American, Mr. Eckford, the chief of the naval arsenal. Under his reign the Turks had to respect the rights of Chris- tians. He had a reign of just thirty-one years, tull of incidents, and weakened by a dis- astrous war with Russia and the rebellion of Mehmet Ali, the Pasha of Egypt. A Reformer. s His son, Abdul Medjid, came to the throne in 1839—a boy of sixteen. He en- deavored to push forward his father’s de- sign to Europeanize the goverrment. He issued the celebrated constitution called the “Hattt-Scheriff of Gulhane.” He intro- auced many Armenians into government employ. The -old Turkish party, the un- changeable Moslem, was disgusted with his reforms, as was Russia. A reaction became dominant in 1843, and the old part again ruled, to the terror uf the ryahs. But the great English ambassador, Sir Stratford canning, took the sultan under his pro- tection, and many important improvements were made in the administration, and gen- erally in favor of equal rights to the Chris- tian pyioce The Crimean war saved Constantinople frcm the grasp cf Russia, but the peace vf Paris, through the treason and ambition of Lovis Napoleon, rejected the policy of Eng- land and gave Turkey over entirely to her- self, forbidding all interference from any one of the signatory powers. From that time onward the condition of the ryahs can hardly be said to have improved. Abdul Medjid died after a reign of twenty-two years-—'39 to '61. Abdul Aziz, the success: was stupid and brutal. He got the final into hopeless entanglements by extessive loans at ruinous interest, and by palace squanderings. Russia made him her tool for the ruin of the empire. June 4, 1876, he was found dead in his chamber, having keen assassinated or having committed sui- cide. There were two parties to that ques- tion, but all agree that he died, and his memory may as well perish. A Fanatical Mussulman. We now ccme te the present reigning sultan, Abdul Hamid. He has always been regarded as a fanatical Mussulman. He came to thé‘throne with the inborn resolu- tion to exercise all the power of the suc- cesscr of the prophet. He is a skillful dip- Icmat. He believes in the supreme powe: of lying. He covers up all that he does by faisehood cr false tesiimory. He can al- weys bring any number of witnesses to prove -that there has been no violence where hundreds have been slaughtered. He secludes himself in his palace, is seen by very few; but those who are called to an interview pronounce him a most fascinating man. - He very early took upon himself the en- tire care of his empire. He resolved to govern-ft alone. He went into every de- army, navy, naval construction, blic works, education, finance—in order to have everything exactly right. Finding a great many Armenians in these depart- ments, he cleaned them all out and put in Turks—often an incompetent man for a competent. If his m ters did not please him he changed them, and then changed them again. A still worse habitets his send- ing commands direct, superseding the or- ders of any of his cabinet ministers, with- owt their knowledge. ‘The favorites of the palace are able thus to upset the best plans of the grand vizier without notice. Mor than one has been-dismissed and degrad for remorstrating. If things did not w<« smoothly under this new regime, his dignation was excited, and another ov turn of officers would follow. This perry sonal administration of every department has caused general confusion and dissatis- faction, and poverty and ruin. Against Schools. The department of education early at- tracted his attention. He saw that his ryahs were better educated, more intelli- gent and more thrifty than his Moslem subjects. He resolved to change al! that. He began to impose laws upon school houses, text bocks and teachers. No school house ‘could be repaired without govern- ment permission, which was never given; no new school-Fouse could be built. Schooi books once approved and bearing the im- perlal seal were subjected to a new censor- ship and utterly defaced, and thousands of dollars’ worth destroyed. Many schools were shut up under frivolous pretenses. At the same time, convenient schéol houses were built for Mussulman schoo!s, and a great impulse was given to Moslem edu- cation. The ryahs, if they complained, were exhorted to profess the true faith, and these benefits would be theirs. Abdul Hamid has all along had an eye to the con- version of his ryahs. But more stringent_means must be used. He could operate, for the present, only upon the Armenians—the Gregorians and Protestants. They have no defender. The Greeks are protected by Russia, and the Catholic Armenians by France.’ Not one of them fs to be touched. England’s pro- tection of the Armenians amounts to noth- ing. Complaints are made, immediate 1e- forms are promised, England is satisfi and the persecution contin He has played this game with England for many years. The Kurdish Robbers. Sultan Hamid very early suw that the Armenians must be dealt with after an- other fashion. He made little progress in his efforts to unify his empire by gathering the wandering sheep into the one fold. On the eastern berders of his empire He the Kurdish mountains, and along their hase, or foot h'lls, are many Armenian villages, often ravaged by the Kurdish robbers—and they are all robbers, more or less. He thought it would be well to have only o; people, or at least one faith, on all ma eastern border. The Armenians should have their choice, Islam or Gehoana! For this purpose the Kurds would rerve him well. He called to Constantinople the chiefs of the principal tribes, treated them with flattering distinction, and gave them uniforms and arms for an imperial cavalry to bear his name—the Hamidieh cavalry. Their work was gradually to efface all the Armenian villages, saving all who would profess Islam. This work has been going on for some years in those distant regions. The survivors made their appeals to Eng- land, and the consuls faithfully reported ‘them. Doubtless England tried to per- suade the sultan to do better; and he has always been ready with stout denials that any wrong has been done, and with lavish promises that nothing more of the kind should happen. For four years or more the outrages upon the Armenians have been growing in frequency and cruelty, and have unquestionably been patronized by Hamid. Russian Intrigue. A very regrettable element comes in here to intensify the evil. A revolutionary party, fermed in Russia, and having branches in Ergland and America, have formed, or claim to have formed, secret societies for promoting a revolution and securing ‘“Ar- menia for Armenians.” The Turkish gov- ernment might smile at the folly of this infantile organization. But for Russ‘a, it never could have come into existence, and her power behind it supports it. But this revolutionary movement is just what Abdul Hamid desires. He hails it es a justification of his plan to destroy the Armenians, except they repent ard tprn to Islam. He now extends his operations all over the empire, which has become a slaughter house. And these two and a haif million of Armenian peasants and traders have been his most useful and faithful subjects! According to the Koran, and the great codified law called the ‘‘Multeka,” he is under sacred obligations to protect tLem in ferson and property, and in the en- jcyment of their religion. The sultan does not fear in the least the “great powers.” He knows that they can- not agree to do anything. They can present schemes of reform, and he promises to ex- ecute them, but goes on with his schemes of outrage and assassination. The six great powers, in the persons of their ambassa- dcrs, stand and look on, and can do noth- ing; and the sultan has his own way. Rus- sia and England oppose each other, and neither can move a step. The Present Situation. The ambassadors at Constantinople are apprehensive of a general rising of the Mohammedans to slaughter all the Chris- tians of the capital indiscriminately, and have Wemanded each an additional gun- beat for safety. The sultan, being made Ly treaty the guardian of the Dardanelles, will not allow them to come up, ard the six “great powers,” thus far, obey the sul- tan! Russia will act only when there is an out- ery of the civilized world calling her in. Should there be a general slaughter of ali Christians, she would march in and take pessession, and England would not dare to resist her. She is waiting for such a re- sult, ard secretly preparing it. Perhaps “He that sitteth in the heavens laughs, and has them in derision.” The sultan has awakened all the slumber- ing fanaticism of his empire, and it 1s doubtful if he can now control it. He Feurs the United States. There is ore power the sultan would fesr, had it any power visible to him; and that 1s the United States of America. That is a courtry that can act for itself. It can send an ironclad to any Mediterranean port with a demand that can be enforced, and no cther country will say a word. The sultan has destroyed American property very freely, and has no thonght of paying a piaster for it-all. Americans have been insulted and maltreated, but in these recent assassirations the Turks have taken no American lives. Our government is acting vigorously, and Mr. Terrell is full of energy and pluck. Hamid will probably re- celve some useful lessons from Mr. Olney. ‘We wait to hear that the work of ex- termination has ceased. But what shall follow? Famine and pestilence. Not less then 250,000 will die of cold and starvation this winter unless relief comes to them from abroad. Why should not our great and rich country send them a million of dollars, with agents clothed with power to see to the distribution, so that it should not be perverted? —— A NEW ENGLAND WOODPILE. Forest at Winter and the Chopper at Work. From the Atlantic. As the woodpile grows at the farm house door in a huge windrow of sled-length wood or an even wall of cord wood, so in the woods there widens a patch of uninterrupted daylight. Deep shade and barred and net- ted shadow turn to almost even whiteness, as the ax saps the foundations of summer homes of birds and the winter fastnesses of the squirrels and raccoons. Here are the tracks of sled and team, where they wound among rocks and stumps and over cradle knolls to make up a load; and there are these of the chopper by the stump, where he stood to fell the tree, and along the great trough made by its fall. The snow is flecked with chips, dark or pale, according to their kind, just as they alighted from their short flight, bark up or down or barkless or edge- wise, and with dry twigs and torn scraps of scattered moss. When the chopper comes to his work in the morning he finds traces of nightly visit- ors to his white island that have drifted to its shores out of the gray sea of woods. Here is the print of the hare’s furry foot, where he came to nibble the twigs of poplar and birch that yesterday were switching the clouds, but have fallen, manna-like, from skywad to feed him. A fox has skirted its shadowy margin, then ventured to explore it, and in a thawy night a raccoon has wad- dled across it. If the wood is cut “sled length,” which is a saving of time and also of chips, that will now be made at the door, and will serve to boil the tea kettle in summer, instead of rot- ting to slow fertilization of the wood lot, the chopper is one of the regular farm hands or a “day man,” and helps load the sled when it comes. If the wood is four foot, he is a professional, chopping by the cord, and not likely to pile his cords too high or long, nor so closely that the squirrels have much more trouble in making their way through them than over them; and the man comes and goes according to his ambition to earn money. In the RANKS. A Queer Incident at the Evacuation of Vera Cruz. From the Kansas City Journal. “There were some amusing sights at Vera Cruz when the French and Belgian troops were evacuating that city and leaving Mex- Ico for their foreign home after the collapse of the attempt to place Maximilian on the throne,” said Gen. Joe Shelby, the ex-con- federate. “During their campaigns in Mex- ico these troops had been pretty nearlf all over the interesting portions of that won- derful country, and as they continually saw new wonders they were continually select- ing novelties to carry back home with them. They had collected specimens of pretty nearly everything animate and inanimate that was in the country and every company was loaded with them. They had young mountain lions, ant eaters, armadilloes, birds of rare plumage, little animals and big ones and curios galore, quite enough to lem) many wagons. The officers never in- tended that the specimens should be carried away by the men, but they had hesitated to order them to dispose of their collections during their marching for fear there would be trouble. “But when they were ready to embark and leave Mexican shores the brigades were marched down to the wharf. They were lined up and ordered to ground arms. Then came the second order to release all animals held captive by the men. They were lined up under the muzzles of the frowning can- non from the fort, and were unarmed, and there was nothing to be done but to obey the order, and the animals were released, and such a collection as went skipping off was a surprise to the officers who were in com- mand. ‘The men had the smaller animals con-- cealed beneath their capes and coats,perched on their shoulders and hidden in every other manner imaginable, and the whole collec- tion resembled the march of Noah’s collec- tion in the ark. The men grumbled at the order, which they declared was useless and unreasonable, but they obeyed and went away without their pets. There were loads of curiosities left lying in a promiscuous heap on the whar{after the men left. It was one of the most novel sights I ever saw.” MEMBERS IN TOWN Where Senators attd Representatives Are Located. THE STAR'S CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY en Will Reside During the Session.

A most remarkable story of saving an ocean steamer by prayer was given out when the steamer Tacoma arrived at Taco- ma from China and Japan. Last week, when 1.000 miles from Yokohama and near midocean, a ‘“‘twister’’ struck the vessel and all but wrecked it. The waves dashed over her. All control of the steamer was lost, and she drifted about at the mercy of the big waves. Then she listed, and the officers, lesing hope, congregated in the surgeon’s c&bin and united in prayer. Several hundred gallons of oil had been cast upon the angry sea, but to no avail; but soon after the officers joined in prayer the storm subsided, the vessel righted itself, and the officers cleared away the wreckage on deck and brought the steamer safely into port, after one of the most terrible experi- ences ever recorded on the Pacific ocean. No one was lost, and in the official chronicle of the battle with the cyclone, prepared by Second Officer. Smith,. under direction of Capt. Crawford, Divine Providence 1s credit- ed with sz ving the steamer and all on board. Isaac Bunting was the only European pas- senger aboard, and he is credited with en- couraging those aboard during all the dan- gers cncountered. Warner, V., Ill. Warmer THE TELEPHONE AT SEA. Possibilities of Science Shown in a Fascinating Manner. - From the London Invention. Not long ago there were noted in these cclumns attempts at deep sea sounding by means of a cartridge so arranged as to explode only upon reacking the bottom of the sea. The depth would be ascer- tained by the use of a microphone under the water, and a calculation of the depth from the time taken between the explosioa and the launching of the projectile from the surface. It suggests a field for in- vention for signaling at sea which cannot fail to be productive of interest, benefit and money to the inventor if properly worked out. The possibilities of it are alg most infinite. - z At present among the few methods em- ployed for sigraling to great distances is the use of the helicgraph by mirrors, or by the use of flashes from the search light or other methods. Within certain limita- tions these ways of transmitting intelli- gence are successful, -but the meteorologi- cal conditions are not always favorable to them. No matter what the state of the weather may be, however, the water at a certain depth below the surface remains in a stratic condition, and it would be but & simple matter for signals, rot electric in their entirety, to be communicated through that medium. Water transmits sound much more read- fly than air, and much more completely. If, therefore, two ships at sea wish to communicate with,each other, even from a distance of many miles, by the use of a submarine microphone, and a proper con- trivance for producing sharp, successive sounds of detonations, were thrown over- board, the wave impulse of sourd would be conveyed through the water and caught and transmitted from the microphone in a manner which would result in an almost perfect system of signaling at sea, and also from vessels at sea to the shore. For instance, approachirg the coast through a heavy fog, a vessel armed witn this apparatus, which might easily be made self-recording or sé-signaling by means cf electricity, could throw over its apparatus, which wonld communicate with permanent contrivances anchored along the coast, and connect with the life saving or other sta- tions, by which attention could be called from one to the other. Those connected with the shore could be kept in continuous action, souncing out their notes of warning under the water, so that any ship ap- proaching the coast in a heavy fog would have but to heave over its side its micro- Fhone, and ascertain with precision both its distance and its location with regard to the shore. The subject is full of fascinat- ing probabilities, and it is sufficiently with- in the range of known electrical and me- chanical appliances at present in use to be resolved into an invention which will con- tribute in the largest measure to the safe- ty of our coasts and versels. The fogs are the most fruitful source cf disaster that we have. At the sinking of the Seaforth in the channel, had such an apparatus been on board, no doubt both the vessels would have avoided collision; there can be little doubt that its use would be made ubligatory upon all vessels. In the case of steamsh'ps, the sound of the pad- dle or crew would be conveyed to a much greater distance in the water than is audi- ble to the ear, and, by the aid of suoma- rine permanent microphones, could be heard at a distance, and, most probably, the direction, as well as approximate dis- tances, easily ascertained. Such a vital subject as this cannot fail to attract atten- tion, and we believe that not many months will go by before such an apparatus will be perfected. ————-+0- THE SCOTCHMAN'S HAGGIS. Ingredients of Scotin’s Popular Dish and How It is Prepared. From the New York Mail and Express. Seotchmen in this city have not yet done talking of the St. Andrew's dinner Satur- day night. Some features of the dinner did not re- ceive the attention they deserved. The speeches were carefully reported and the names of the guests were handled with care, but the one really important thing in the dinner was neglected—the Haggis. Every Scot pretends to love haggis. Per- haps most of them do, and certainly all will say it is the “grandest deesh” ever put before man, but it has been noticed that on all occasions when that dish is served he eats very little of it. “It's var: vara nourishin’, de ye ken,” they say, “an’ ye don’t have to tak much o’ it. A vara, vara Ieetle wull do.” The service of haggis at the annual din- ners of the S:. Andrew's Society have al- ways been attended with gréat ceremony and pomp. To begin with, the dish has to he prepared very carefully, and only a few persons in this country know how to make For twenty-five years the haggis used by the St. Andrew's Society at its dinners has beer prepared by Mrs. F. Duguid of No. 432 West 2th strect. Each year she pre- pares seven messes of it, which is taken down to Delmonico’s and heated again, for haggis must be served very hot. This Is the way haggis is made, accord- ing to the receipt of Mrs. Duguid: A large quantity of lambs’ hearts, kidneys, lights and livers are chopped very fine. Then lamb suet is treated in the same way, and mixed with minced meat. To this mixture is added chopped onions, a large quantity of oatmeal, and the whole is flavored with salt and pepper, to suit the taste. The mess is then mixed with water and placed in the stomach of a lamb of young sheep, sewn up and boiled until the oatmeal is thoroughly cooked. It usually is allowed to boil for from three to four hours. The steaming mass is then brought on the table, still in the stomach of the sheen and served. a NOT A QUESTION OF COURAGE. A Distinction Which He Called to the Attention of His Sweetheart. From the Chicago Post. “I always thought you were a man of courage,” she said, bitterly. “I am,” he protested. “You!” she exclaimed, sarcastically. “You!” “Yes,” ne replied, haughtily; “I have proved my courage dozens of times.”” “Where?” she asked. “On the football field, in the cane rushes, everywhere that courage is needed.” “Then,” she said, in a tone of conviction, uu do not love me.”” Ellen,” he cried, “retract those words! You know not what you say! I love you madly—devotedly.”” said before,” she returned, “Speak! he implored, as she hesitated. “What makes you doubt either my love or my courage?” ss “You have asked me to be yours,” she said, in a low, passionate voice. “You have said that you wished to marry me, two weeks we have been engaged. “Glorious two weeks,” he interrupted. “But during that time,” she «continued, “you have steadfastly refused to speak to my father.” His brow clouded instantly. . “I have,” he admitted, “but that is surely a matter of discretion. I am courageous, Ellen, but I never claimed to be foolhardy.” ———__-+0-+-___ Eugene Field's Tastes.
