TURKEY’S TROUBLES.

Writing last month the London ‘Times’ Vienna correspondent stated that the outlook in Turkey might be cons dered to present so main dangerous features

that while no positive opinion could he formed, contingencies which a few weeks before seemed beyond the range of probability, were becoming conceivable. The two most pressing issues were the insurrection in Albania and the struggle between the .Military League and the Committee at Constantinople. In Northern Albania, at least, the insurgents were masters of the situation. Jn the struggle between the Military League and the Committee, instructive, if not decisive, developments were expected. A rap’d and bloodless triumph of the Military League and the dissolution of the Chamber would be welcomed as the least redoubtable of the possible results of the struggle. Otherwise is was feared that the position of the Sultan might be affected, or that the Committee might seek to create a diversion in its own favour at the expense of non-Mus-sulmans. The new Turkey Cabinet is called a Cabinet of white beards, for its members average seventy years of age.
