RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY.
A dispatch to the Times says there appears to be revivals of religious intolerance in Turkey. Not only is the observance of the Mohammedan ritual to be enforced, but a letter from Persia states that the long-for-gotten ordinance prohibiting the residence of Christians in Turkish quarters have been revived. The subordinates have carried out their instructions with great brutality, bundling the people and their furniture into the streets. Several Germans employed on the Roumania railway, who were obliged to live near the line, have been thus treated. The decres of 1840, and the treaty of 1856 promised that nobody should be molested on account of his religious opinions. The treaties of commerce permit foreigners to carry on business in any part of the Empire, with the exception of a single province, and their leases and contracts have been treated as legal by the authorities. The measures now taken are therefore a violation of treaty obligation.
