verge of physical collapse due to fear and anxiety Only I a few par sons were permitted to confer with him In the hope of gaining favor with the Young Turks the rabble started what almost amounts to systematic assassination or Reading reactionaries About twentypf these were killed Fighting Among Themselves Conflict between Mussulman piety and the political ideas of the west has brought the Turkish people to the verge of civil war Zeal for the faith has been unloosed and the adjustment of the sultans relations to the committee of union and arogress probably will only postpone tHe armed struggle between the deliveries of the ancient teachings of the prophet and those who are urging the teachings from western Europe The sultans primary demand is to remain the constitutional sovereign with all the spiritual powers of the Callate with the liberal allowances for his household while he also asks for a variety of minor garrisons which It will not be difficult to grant The demand of the committee of mmlttceorunion union and process Is that the sultan offer no resistance whatever and submit unconditionally unconditionallyHope Hope for Compromise The Salonlklns which Is the backbone of the whole progressive movement Is largely military and Its most Important civilian members are with the army Some of tho members of the cabinet Including RIfant Pasha I the foreign minister are active

the I whole administration should be I cleaned that no promise of Abdul Hamlda can be trusted and that toI I reestablish the system of ten do8I I ago would be to settle nothing The conservatives urge that theI I deposition of tho sultan would only I be possible after severe fighting that It is uncertain whether the troops under the control of the committee would uphold such an act with theirj bayonet that the wavering soldiers of tho first army corps to the num ber of 23MOO or 30000 now garrisoning the city would be Inflamed I and break out Into open revolt and I that to demand too much
