THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1896. ENGLAKD N O HURRY TO ACT Salisbury’s Policy Regard- ing Turkey Is Scme- what Changed. NO AID FROM UNCLE SAM Attitude of This Country a Keén Disappointment to British tatesmen. GLADSTONE’S VIGOROUS POLICY. Wil Advocate the Immediate Severing of Diplomatic Relations With the Sultan. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 19.—England has been facing for a week what on all sides is described as imminent danger of war, and on the whole she is not as sure as she was last week that she likesii. Then the most interesting feature of the situation wasthe fact that the Tories were helping to work up an Armenian agitation; now the most significant thing is that they are turning round and almost tearfully deprecating it. I get from a source which I respect a hint that this change has been influenced by a messaze sent through roya! channels from the Danish court that the Czar wasbestto be bandled some other way, It is on this question, bear in mind, of Low far the Czar can be handled at all at Bernsdorff and Baimoral that the situation now most largely turns. Upon the effort to bring him into sympathy with the| English point of view as much energy as was deemed safe has been expended inside the Danish royal family. It was at Copen- 1 bagen alone in Europe that the late Czar | used to bear the truth, but ke was an un- known man to tell truth to, and when he | did not sulk in solitude for days there | after he had an un t way of split- | ting a table with his gi fist as a token he bad beard enough. His successor is wholly unlike the father, so far as externals go, but how amenab! to intluence no one knows. ts he is of a gentle and ment;others say that heis @ taciiurn, suspicious egoist, with the obsti nacy of a mule. Howey-rtuat may be, bis Danish and E ish relatives will have \‘ had 2 month which to do what they | an with bim. Russia’s notification to the powers made in August of last year that she w uld re- sist any attempt on the part of any power | tointervene om its own account in Tur- | S¥%%s aleu‘rl‘y tn,llor:erl, ]_m,nd-‘ key still formally blocks the way. Priuce | S0mely finished. in single- | Lobanoff reatfirmed that position in |b7easted sacks. We have Green Vienna, and on the strength of this the Austro-German decision to go with Russia | was made absolute. Apparently Loban ofi’s spectagular disappearance from the scene did noi alter Russa’s attitude, as it was reatfirmed again al Breslan. Botnu the German and Austro-Hungzarian papers of the inspired sort have been conducting acampaign of bluster against England | all the year, but their truculence was | never so marked and confident asin the past week or two. The same ciass of Rus- sian journals, too, now talk with more assurance than ever before about a league of all Europe agsinst England. So far, therefore, as diplomatic records g0, England continues to be conironted by Russia’s threat of war. If she ven- tures 1o take independent action in pro- tecting the Armenians and iguoring the fact that nominally, at least, the concert of Eurove stands behind Russia, and butts We are satisfied. A AR S Green Tags have served their purpos=. They were put on tor the purpose of strength- | ening the bonds of friendship between you | and us. Trey have fulfilled their object. | To make Green Tags doubly | interesting for the big boys who | | are the stylish dressers in town, we have concluded to hold a@| high-class sale madeup entirely | of very high-class goods for these | young men between the ages of | 12 and 19. | Some 600 Suits, representing | values up to $12, in those fine imported Worsted Cheviots in blues, made in the double-| breasted style, the single-breast- | d style; some very fine Scotches in those new overplaids, very swell goods, made with fly front | vest which conceals the buttons. Some of those very excellent English Clay Worsteds; a $12 | Tagded all for just a limited period, —$7.45— Opposite our picture shows vow the Ad- miral. It'sthe new Fall style of this gar- ment. It’s much imitated about town, but none have the p chic and grace that ours pos- sess; beauwti- her head straigh against this wall, it may be magnificent, but it will not be what England upon reflection is atatl likely to do. There may be ways of weakening the wall or of turning past it. Lord Sulisbury has been toiling all the year to detach somebody from this European concert. It is genmerally understood, both here aud abroad, that Italy is moce or less commit- ted to England’s assistance, bu: this by itself is not good enouzh. France is visibly feeling the effects of the humanita- rian upbeaval in England, and her papers do not revile the British agitation as do those of Berlin and Vienna, but diplomat- ically France is in the Czar's pocket, There remains then the possibility of winning over the Czar himself. There is also another alternative which one day seems very remote and the next advances into the foreground. This is the fact that England may discover sufficient reasons for believing that in case she took & bold course the old rivalries and jealons- ies of her existing on the continent wonlq really paralyze action against her. It is, | of course, a huge risk to run, but En,land { hastrusted before now to the chanve that | Europe would remain motionless in the face of a fait accompli. She did it when she bombarded Alexandria, and she came off then with safety. Adventurous spirits are urging Lord Salisbury to take this chance again, and last week, as was said, it looked as if he bad nerved himself to do it, but this week it ooks different. Little is said about a matter whic: may easily have a very significant bearing on this phase o: the outiook. Germany and Russia have begun what practically amounts to a revival of their old customs war. The ratification of a Russo-Ger- man commercial treaty in 1893 was really the foundation on which the politicai rap- prochement between Berlin and St. Pe- tersburz was reared. In his recent retro rade course, how- ever, Emperor William has tried to curry favor with the Agrarian nobility of East Prussia by allowing officials'to interpret this treaty 1o the detriment of Russian food products. Russia, after 2 vain re- monstrance, has retaliated by trebling the duty on Germen leatner goods, and it is expected that in a few weeks the whole fabric of the treaty will be in ruins. The Berlin officiai press has already got to the point of threatening that the Reichsbank will be again forbidden to deal in Russian securities. All thisis rather striking proof in favor of the contention that the Euro- pean concert is really a name rather than a fact, and that it is ready to fall to pieces at & resolute touch. As another hypothetical way out of this slough of world disgrace, it must be said that the English abandon with profound dissppointment the.r transient hope ihat America m.gi2t join them in a holy cru- sade. As was pointed out last weck, this was at besta ratner tumid and despairing hope. g Thne St. James Gaz tte raised it aimost to the saoguine point by talking of the | 1taly, as if it were under serious consizer- | ation by the powers concerned, but the fully trimmed; beawtifully braided; long trousers, in a very pretty shade of blue and made from excellent Chev- iot; for lads between the ages of 8 and 10: including a cord and whistle.

BERLIN, GErMANY, Sept. 19.—The ex- cited language emnioycd by the Vienna and Berlin semi-official newspapers in discussing the Turkisi policy adopted by Lord Salisbury is known to be due to the ravidly growing divergence of the lines of Lord Salisbury’s proposal and that of Count Goluchowski, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, as to how to deal with the 8:ltan. Prince Hobeniohe, the Ger- man Imperial Chancellor, who has now gone to his estate at Altaussee in Syria for a season of chamois huating, has contin- ued to play second fiddle to Count Golu- ¢ owski since that statesman took the in- itiative upon the Eastern question. To the Berlin Goverument the question re- the Turkish empire shall cease, bat the | opinion in Foreign Office circles here is | that time must be allowed in which to enable the powers 1o arrunge ior the seleo- tion and enthronement of his successor. The Vienne Neue Frie Presse rightly argues that the Sul:an is unaer the pro- tection of Russia, and that if Kigland spould scek to force that monarch's de- 10sition she wouid very quiikly find that she would have to face Rus<ia for her temerity. To-aay’s is-ue of the Neue Frie Presse | contain- the report of an interview with an Austiian statesman, wherein he says that Eiropean enten e in regar.i (oTurkey no lo ger exists, but tas been replaced by a Russian-Austrian eniente, the object of which is to maintain the status quo and maintain Suliun Avin.

The i the Da mains viewad as affecting the Dreibund chiefly. The semi-official press here naturally follow the lead of Vienna semi-official or- gans, bat it is difficult in the extreme to ascertain what Count Goluchowski's views are beyond, for the present at ieast, up- holding the Buitan and maintainmng the statos quo in Turkey generally. Amid the newspaper inveciives which have been huried againsi England not a single suggestion of reforms on the part of the Porte has appeared. Austria ob- viously fears that the action of Engiznd will drive the Sultan to claim tLe protec- tion of Russia, involving the sudden ap- pearance of Russian troops at Conastanti- nople and Ru-sian warships in the Dar- danelies. h Oatsice of the semi-official press the consensus of opinion is that the Bultan must be deposed before the recurring dis- orders in Constantinople and elsewhere in Tehika ander of the district of Odessa, is very significant of the Sul- tan’s reliance upon Russia. General Tchikatcheff’s mission to Con- stautinople and the Dirdanelles forts oc- curred early 1 July last, but the fact has ju-t leaked out. It apjears thata Rus- sisn_war-hip passed a fortnight in the Dardaneiles, during wbich a group of Russian officers were engzaged in insp-ci- ing the fortsand assistiug the Turkish offi-ers in torpedo experiments.
