Genera! principles have been agreed on provisionally pending the final decision of the forthcoming Paris Conference. The general idea at present favours joint possession of he Straits and Constantinople. Everything possible will be done in settling the new Turkish capital to avoid offending Moslem susceptibilities. SULTAN'S FUTURE. SHORN OF POLITICAL POWER. Received January 2, 8.30 p.m. LONDON, January 1. It is authoritatively predicted that the Allies are determined to remove the Ottoman Government to Asiatic Turkey, thus freeing Europe of the Sultan's political power. An Allied commission is to administer Constantinople where the Sultan will be permitted to remain with full personal freedom tn the capacity of supreme head of the Mussulman faith. Every care will be taken not to lessen the Sultan's dignity as a religious authority.
