The Sultan's Troubles.
As if the sultan's cup of bitterness were not full to overflowing, with the spirit of revolt stalking through Armenia and Macedonia, and even in the shadow of his palace at Constantinople, now comes a petition from Crete requesting the powers to intervene in the affairs of the island and put an end to anarchy, accompanied by murder and rapine, of which the Cretans are the victims.
In a little while it may no longer be necessary to partition Turkey; the empire of the Ottomans will fall asunder through sheer rottenness.
