The Turco-Russian Question

continues to occupy elaborate space in
most of the newspapers. 1t, however, ap-
pears to be Gin a nut shcll'' as follows ::
Russia assumes the right to be the pro-
tector of the Greek Church in the domin-
ions of the Sultan, and claims that the
latter shall grant privileges to that Church
greater than those enjoyed by any other
Christian church in his dominions, pro-
claiming, the while, that she seeks only to
compel the Sultan to deal by the Greeks
treligionistsj as he deals by the Latins.
Turkey denies Russia's right to meddle
in her domestic concerns and moreover,
protests that the Latins are not favored
by her over the Greeks, and of course re-
fuses to make the regulations which Rus
STA demands. Whereupon Russia has sent
her armies to occupy certain portions of
the Sultan's dominions, which she pro-
claims her intention Of holding until Tur-
key complies with her requirements.
Russia still declares that she does not
conceive the armed occupation of por-
tion of Turkey after this fashion, to be
war upon her.
England and France, both of which
Governments arc under treaty obligations
to Turkey to protect her from Russia in
the event of any such occurrence as we
describe above, have fleets at hand to
enter the Dardanclles for her defence,
whenever they shall be formally notified
that Russia has crossed the Rubicon. So
the case stands at last dates from the
other side of the Atlantic. No man in
his senses believes that Russia would
permit any Power on earth to assume to
a:----.-.~ ---I---L---li---~-.>
what she holds to be her right in the
matter of the Greek church. in Turkey.
Nevertheless, we Judge from the adyices
by the last steamer that there will be no
war; at least until the spring opens. On
the arrival of the French and English
fleets at Constantinople negotiations will
again be opened, which will afford Russia
the desired pretext for delaying actual
war, nutil she can enter upon it to most
advantage.

which fell was situated the south side Of the
stream, few rods east Of the "Red Bridge" on the
south Troy road. part of this bank fell few
years since, instantly killing Of the laborers theirs
employed, and iniuTing several others The orinci-
pal cause OF the bank falling was excavation under
meath and the action Of the frost II IL remarkable
what a distance the avalanche moved A small
wooden house situated on the opposite side Of the
stream, about one hundred yards or more from the
bank pushed oil OF twenty feet from it5 site and
completely wrecked. The house was occupied by n
man named Patrick Martin. AT the time of the ac-
cident his wife and four children were in the build
