CRUEL SOLTAHS

a.

Mew TwW Men.

Th* wort Sutton (pronounced Sooltoon. not Saltan) la by no meana a Mohammedan title, occur* tn the Koran three timea but there tt stand* for authorlty. It occupies a similar position, as a title of authority, among the Sunni lioalem* aa Shah does among the •hah* of Perala. The proper title for the chief ruler In Islam ia Imam (Bamaan). or leader, of Khalifa (Khaleefa), "on# who is left behind," a ?ucceasor, a vicegerent, or “deputy. The word ts used In the Koran for Adam, who 1# Said to have' been placed upon earth as the vicegerent of God. The rulers of th# Ottoman Turk* a*•amed the title of Sultan, because there was at tha time of their rise in history a Caliph at Bagdad who claimed to be

the rightful ruler tn Islam.

The present Turkish dynasty took Its rise from Halaku. the grandson of Jengte Khan. .Who, in the middle of the rthirteenth century, eame down from the 'fastnesses of central Asia and seised Bagdad, putting the Caliph to death. Osman, th# founder of the present Osraanl dynasty, first established his kingdom at Boursa, the ancient capital of Bithynla, and was immediately succeeded by hia son. Oruhsn, the COnqueror. a tyrant of the deepest dye. The present Sultan Hamid of Turkey is the thlrtyseventh from Osman, and it is a curious coincidence that the present Ottoman dynasty supplanted the thirty-sev-enth Caliph of the Abbaside dynasty. The Sultan of Turkey claiming, as he does, to be the vicegerent of the Prophet, Is the ninety-third In succession to Abu

Bakr, the first Caliph. Med Violent Deaths.

It Is remarkable that so many Sultans •f the Ottoman dynasty have died violent daaths. Orehan died of excessive grief on bearing of the death of his favorite son Murad I. known In history as tth. was assassinated In 1389. BayeThuhder Bolt was dethroned In 1409. and died of drunkenness. Murad II fell down dead when feasting with his friends at Adrianople. Bayezld II was dethroned by his son.

GREEK AND TURK.

London Spectator. It la forty-two years since the Crimean War began, and opinions have greatly changed, but they have not changed universally or with anything like completeneos. We have #en greatly struck with the number of men who In the newspapera, and still more In society, continue to believe that the Turk Is a hopeful person, and the Greek a wretched cad, and who at heart, while admitting that the Sultan Is an oppressor, rather hope, as well as believe, that the Tunc will at last prevail. They generally admit that Pashas as a class are corrupt murderers, but maintain that the "simple Qttomans” who carry out those Pashas’s worst orders with seal and delight are very good fellows, much better that the same class of Greeks, and perhaps equal to the peasants of any country, certainly equal to Sikhs. Rajpoots, or any of the better Asiatic soldiers and agriculturists. We believe that opinion to be wholly wrong, and do not found out belief upon any sentimentality whaTever, but on a kmg chain of facta That Europe owesi all it possesses except law to Jews and Greeks !s - certain. but Is, we freely admit, no reason for the present admiration of those races. The Jews produce no Isaiah any more, nor any Saul of Tarsus, and If we were looking for a Homer or a Plato we should search Iceland and the Orkneys before we dreamed of turning the microscope onto the Greek islands. Our plea both for the Jews and Greeks Is not their past history, magnificent as It has been, but the presept proof they give that they have in them the making of good

cltisens.

The Greeks have established. In the teeth of terrible difficulties, a civilised and Christian state. They were few in number when enfranchised, and were not allowed sufficient territory to be able to raise a fair revenue; but with half the population, and probably a sixth of the wealth, of Belgium, being themselves only fresh emancipated ‘slaves, they were expected to keep up an army, to build a fleet, to organise a civil administration, to put down crimes like brigandage, which had lasted centuries, and generally to perform the complicated duties and incur the heavy expenditure by which Western civilisation Is now supported. Western Europe has no idea of a cheap civilisation such as exists in Texas, and would regard a State without “regulars," without a standing police, and with a habit of lynching bad offenders, as a collection of houses and families, but not a State at all. The Greeks were ordered, too, being by nature democratic republicans, to do all these things under German princes, with whom they had no relation. who did not quite like them, and who in particular never took kindly to their men of genius. -Naturally, under the circumstances, the Greek army was not either numerous or efficient, the Greek police was confined to the towns, the Greek mobs were very noisy. Greek politics were very personal, and Greek bonds were distrusted by the majority of serious Investors. Still the Greeks did form a very fair army, the reservists of which turn out readily, and in guerrilla war etctort the respect of Turks; they did collect a fleet which would dispose of the Turkish fleet in half an hour; they did put down brigandage; and they did es# tabllsh a community as orderly as the Italian, singularly free, and entirely without the anarchist Jealousy of property. They have shown a high respect, even perhaps an over-respect, for culture, they endeavor to advance in civlsm with alt their might, and though they belong to the Greek church, they have proved themselves exceptionally tolerant. Their compatriots in Crete, maddened by centuries of oppression, seem willing to kill Mussulmans at sight as our soldiers In the mutiny were inclined to kill Sepoys; but the Greeks of the kingdom are so little Inclined to persecute, that the Mussulmans of Thessaly, who are entirely in their power, have advised thft Mussulmans of Crete to submit, because they are sure, from their own experience, that they will be justly treated. No doubt in the effort Greece has somewhat overspent herself, and, like Pennsylvania and Virginia under the same circumstances, has sympathized with her tax-payers rather than her bondholders; but there Is no evidence that, with larger territory and more revenues. Greece would not be at least as honest as the rest of the Southern world. We should say, on the whole, writing without prejudice, the career of Greece had been a creditable one, and one to create a hope for the future, which is not diminished by the fact that, whatever her government may do. her people have unanimously shown willingness to Incur personal sacrifices In order that other men of their race and faith may become free. Greece, In fact, wjth all her folMes and failures, Is at least as hopeful a kingdom as Scotland was before the union. Now what have the Turks done? They left their deserts on the frontiers of China. and invaded Europe for purposes of plunder. They reached the end of their resources, and would probably have been driven back, when, as Dean Church in his wonderful paper on the subject has described, their leader hit upon the Infernal device of demanding a tribute of children instead of certain Imposts. Out of those children, none of them Turks by blood, he formed the "New Soldiers," the Janissaries, perhaps the most formidable standing army that ever existed, and with them his successors conquered Constantinople and the whole of the Eastern Empire of Rome, and nearly conquered Hungary, but were beaten back by the Polish cavalry. From that day to this they have governed that magnificent empire In the spirit of Tartars, .which Is the spirit of destruction. They have founded nothing. Improved nothing, built nothing, have produced no literature, advanced no art, sent out no new idea among mankind. They have shown no conception of government except despotism, supported, whenever resistance was made, by massacres which Included both sexes, and destruction which extended even to the animals and the trees. Of their endless sub-ject-races they have not conciliated one.

when It disappears will leave behind It no memorials except a hundred ruined cities, as many desolated provinces, and the deadly hatred of all over whom Its splrlt-naralyslng rule has ever extended. We know quite well that the "Great Idea" of the Greeks is a hopeless illusion, that the Prussian power of organisation, which could alone give them a chance, 1 u no morp with them than any family li 1 the Hohensollerns is; but if they can clear the way for the Hapsburgs, or even for the Romanoffs, they will have done a grand service to humanity and to the world. Better any rule whatever, or even the anarchy which would follow self-gov-ernment, than the rule of the Turk, which Lord Salisbury at this moment, against his own convictions and his own conscience. Is. under German pressure, helping to kee.i up. SWIFT ON Gita SERVICE.

Am Address Before the Massachusetts Reform Clnb.

Mr. Lucius B. Swift delivered an address before the Massachusetts Reform Club, in Boston, Thursday night, on “The Critical Condition of the Reform Movement of the Present Time.” His remarks are thus given by the Boston

Herald:

"It is natural to speak of the Federal side of this question with hesitation and with commensurate care, to avoid misJudgment. The Federal civil service law was passed fourteen years ago, and the merit system In that service is to-day founded upon a rock.. The admission is freely made by lukewarm friends and open enemies that It can not be shaken. A few years ago the papers supporting it could be counted upon the fingers of two hands: but to-day the papers openly opposing it are almost equally limited in number. “When we reflect upon this revolution; when we look at the 100,000 places which have been transferred from the field of politics to the field where business principles rule; when we look at the unhesitating declarations In the platform of the successful party and at the notable service Mr. McKinley has rendered this reform, and at his unflinching statement that It must go on, and at the declaration of the new administration that the orders of Mr. Cleveland are to stand, It would seem that civil service reformers might content themselves with singing pseans of victory. “But to do so would be to ignore the cities and counties and States stretching across the continent and still under the darkest government; it would be to ignore the hostile marshaling of the forces of right and wrong in the State of New York in on# of the most notable political struggles which has ever taken place; it would be to ignore the consular service, the labor sendee and 60,000 postmanters in the Federal service, and we know from the past that it is never safe to ignore the fact that promise is not a fulfillment. A Great Example For McKinley. “Mr. McKinley's immediate predecessor set him a great example; and against the work done by Mr. Cleveland there has not been among our 70,000.000 of people anything which rises to the dignity of a protest. With this unmistakable sign of public approval and with all the other data before us. tt was fair to expect of Mr. McKinley a stand that the use of public office as spoil was not partly at an end, but wholly at an end; that rotation in office merely because certain Indtvidusu, were out in the cold would be a thing unheard of in his administration. / “The day Mr. McKinley was inaugurated the time was right to strike the final blow. Do the acts of twenty-one days indicate that the final blow has been struck and that merit and fitness are and will be the only condition of receiving and retaining public employment? To determine this question I have taken advantage of such opportunity as was within reach, and this was confined chiefly to Indiana. “A district attorney and a marshal have just been appointed fqr the district of Indiana. “It is quite within the limits to say that the new district attorney is not fitted by experience for the duties of his office. He describes himself, I believe, as a hewer of wood, not In law, but in politics. How did he happen to get the place? In that part of the campaign which decided the great issues at stake, he was unheard of. But, In the affairs which related to the aspiration of the now successful candidate for United States Senator, he was constantly heard

of.

“The people of Indiana are given for marshal a man who, by his own account, is an ex-dealer in floaters. What exigency brought about this result? I will give the only reason I have ever heard. Last summer, about the opening of the campaign, the chairman of the State committee, now our new consulgeneral in Paris, was in imminent danger of removal from his chairmanship. Our new marshal, being a member of the committee, stood manfully by him, upon an agreement that virtue should have Its reward, and accordingly he has come to his own. If that is not the true explanation, I am safe in saying no better one can be made.

New Y'ork, Marcty 31.—Developments prove that five Instead of three persons were suffocated by smoke in the fivestory apartment house. No. 61 West One-hundred-and-flfth street, which was partially destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. At an early hour this morning the bodies of Mrs. Adelina Darlington and her five-year-old son, Mareelle, were discovered between the stairways on the fourth floor of the building. Last night tt was reported that everybody who fiad been In the building at the time of the fire was accounted for, but later tt developed that Mrs. Darlington and her boy must have been in the house. It seems that they went out an hour before the fire broe out, telling the Janitoress that they would not return until evening. The janitress, therefore, supposed that the Darlingtons were safe, and so reported to the police. Nothing being heard from Mrs. Darlington, however, up to a late hodr last night, the neighbors and the police became alarmed for their safety, and at once instituted a search, which requited in the finding of the bodies this morning. The list of* dead now stands as follows; MRS. ADELINA DARLINGTON, recently of Greenwich, Conn. MARCELLE DARLINGTON, five years old, adopted son of Mrs. Adelina Darling-

tom

MRS. ELIZABETH FRENCH, twentythree years old, of Pueblo. Mexico. FIDELE FRENCH, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth French, three months old. MISS ELLEN MORRISSEY, forty-five years old, of Albany, N. Y. Mrs. French, whose husband. Albert O. French, a bookkeeper in the office of a railroad in Pueblo, Mexico, is a brother of Mrs. Darlington, had been visiting the Darlingtons in Greenwich. She intended to Join her husband as soon as their baby could bear the journey. Cause of the Fire Unknown. None of those who were In the bundling when the Are started opuld explain how tt was caused. There Ts a passage way through the basement to the rear of the house wrere two dumb waiter shafts communicate with the apartments. Near these are two air shafts which sucked the fire up to the roof like the smokestack of a furnace. Doors at the front and back of the house leading into the passageway were open, and any one might have entered without being seen. As ; .s usual In the apartment house, boys and men were continually passing to and from the dumb waiters to deliver articles from

shops.

The janitress of the building. Mrs. Annie Harrington, said there had been no fire In the furnace since Sunday, and there was nothing burning In the basement except a gas Jet, which was toward the front, some distance from the air shaft. “I came out to go across the hall about half-past 1 o'clock to get some more ckrthes,” said Mrs. Harrington, “and saw a great sheet of flame at the foot of the air-shaft.. The boy was outside In the street shaking a carpet, and I was the only one in the basemen:. I ran up-stalrs to tell the folks that the building was on fire, bat I could not get beyond the fourth floor on account of the smoke. I

Now we come to the new consul-gen-eral In Paris. That the new incumbent can efficiently stamp with the consular seal and will collect the outrageous charge of S2.S0 for such stamp, there Is no question. But as' a commercial agent, representing tire United States in one of the great capitals of the world, he Is a travesty. How did his appointment happen to be made? Last summer this appointee was the head and front of the successful movement to secure the Indiana delegation for Mr. McKinley. He

has his reward.

“I have spoken of the new Senator from Indiana. We sent him to deal with the revenue and with the vital and acute question of currency reform. We only know by the papers what he is doing. They say: ‘Senator Eklrbanka is not letting the grass grow under his feet. He has been In public I'fe less than three weeks, but Is making recommendations for the offices In his State at a rate that causes some of the veterans at the business to grow green with

envy-’

Unmistakable Signs.

“There are signs which are unmistakable. and these are of that character.

came back and went out the front dear. Erneeit Dixon, who is Janitor of another apartment house a few doors away, ran and turned In an alarm. When he returned ha found It Impossible to ge<; into the house. He hastened to thtf roof of the next house on the east and jumped down to the root of the burning building. He could hear the screams of the women below. There was not a man in the house when the fire started. The flames roared up through the air-shaft to the roof. Warned by their crackling, the tenants rushed to the stairways to find escape that way already cut off. Only those on the first floor had time to get out of the front door, and they were able

to save nothing.

The fire must have made remarkably rapid headway. Chief Joseph Shea, who hastened down from One-hundred-and-twenty-flfth street, and was the first to get there, at once turned In two more alarms, summoning all the engines In the district. At that time .the flames were roaring through the upper floor of the building, and women were hanging out of the windows, screaming for help. In the terror and confusion tt was Impossible to tell who had escaped. Those whe made their way out were taken in by their neighbors and cared for. Effort To Save a Woman and Baby. The firemen learned that there was a woman and a baby on the upper floor. The negro hall-boy said the woman had ccme to the window and made a motion as tt she would throw the child into the street, and had then disappeared. A desperate attempt was made to reach the top floor over the roof, but it proved impossible. A sixty-foot ladder was run up and the firemen climbed tt. but they wfre unable to find any living soul, and the smoke and flames prevented them from going inside. A rope was tied about the body of Wischuessen. one of the firemen on the roof, in the hope that he might be able to get into the apartment. He was lowered over the roof, but could not reach the window, and was drawn back. The crowd which had heard that a woman was Imprisoned in the building watched the firemen breathlessly as they made their attempt at rescue. Womeg looked with tears running down their cheeks, and some of them sobbed and turned away as the firemen were beaten

| back, empty-handed.

A dozen streams of water were by this I time playing on the structure, and the fire ! which had got through the roof, was i yielding. Tt was not extinguished, bew- | ever, until the building had been thor- : oughly drenched and the water was pourfing In cataracts down the flairs and | through the holes in the floors. It was | then seen that the upper floors and the j pear of the building had been completely wrecked. Search for the tenants, if any ; had flailed to escape, was begun. Mr*.

French's body was found on ' the parlor, near the window.

Greek and Slav alike, by almost unheardof sacrifices, have at last cast off their yoke. There Is no people In the world so submisslv; as the Armenian, who obeyed the Roman cheerfully for centuries, but even he can not tolerate the Turk. The Greek loathes him, and even in a little island like Crete fights him hand to hand. The Arab, who is of his own faith, holds him to be the worst of barbarians, and rises against him in armed insurrection at least once In every five years. Tfte detestation of him is in fact not European but universal, and is kept down In every province only by sheer terror of the Ottoman. the boldest and the most merci-

less of all Asiatic fighting men.

Nor Is there the slightest hope of improvement. On the contrary, in Turkey

rythlng. including public virtue, is

rapidly decaying. There never was a Sultan so bad as the present, or one so secure; the Pashas are universally corrupt, and are given up even by the admirers

the Turk; and as for the soldiery, let

Batuk and Armenia answer for their character. Nothing survive# In the Ottoman except his magnificent courage, his habit of obedience to his officers, and his readiness to die rather than surrender the ascendency of his caste, an ascendency which with him means the right to kill all Christians who will not submit. The treasury Is bankrupt, the provinces are ruined, the capital rises and retires trembling, while all reformers are hunted down, and even the religious students who appeal to the Koran as condemning the present regime are ordered back to their homes to starve there in quiet. After four hundred year* of unbroken rule this Is the condition of Turkey, and then because the larvantine* of the ports are an unworthy people, wo are told that

One is an effectual leadership in bringing it about that a man with a paper uollar can at some bank near his nome at all times get gold tor that dollar.

It was In the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane on Ward's island, and the greater pert of the east wing of the building, set apart for male patteate, was destroyed. The seven hundred patient* in the wing that was burned behaved admirably. The flames leaped around them, and fiowing eparks fell from the walls and ceilings on their heads and clothing, but they did not manifest a fear. As a result, no one was injured.
