| THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.-THE ENGLISH
| REPLY
| Lord Stanley said he had sent a reply to the
invitation Conference II TO the effect that We do
believe that any advantage will arise or any practical
result follow from the conference unless the first place
there is definite plan proposed for consideration
before the conference and unless the next place
there appears preliminary negotiation that there IL

assent OF the parties most interested Hear, hearl
looking to the actual state OF the case-lookng at
| the wide divergence OF opinion prevailing on TINS
question between the Protestant and Catholic powers
| 1 am quite satisfied Of this, that TO 90 into the
| conference without some previous understanding OF
| that kind would be mere waste OF time conference
is an excellent machine for giving solid ana formal RAJ
fcaton taking note, as il were, OF decisions which
have already been come 10; but where here ~ Mlde
fundamental divergence. not upon questions OF de-
tail, but upon questions OF principle am not sangune
enough TO hope that the bringing Vl certain hulnDel vi
gentlemen together round table 10 discuss questions
will be sufficient to put an end TO the dihcuy II lne
plan OF conference fails Tor one should greatly regret

cause OF danger-a cause Oh dnture SolnpneaICn,
mental war. AT the same time, am bound TO say that
It is not an affair in which, as It seems to me
directly concerned, except so far aSwe all feel desire
for state of tranquility, and except 80 far as every
question interests us that concerns European CIVILIZATION
We bound TO do what may be fairly expected from us
should, question Of this kindon question not
directly touching any English interest-run the risk OF
complication or increasing the number OF responsibilities
| we have already undertaken. lChecrs.l

Mr. p. A. Taylor replied to him. After condemning
France in strong and euogzing Garbald he asked
whether England had right 90 protest against this
gross breach Of the principle Of nOnntereence and no
interest in European justice. He concluded thus:
Now that France had violated her own pledges, and
had again invaded the Papal States there Was another
opportunity afforded for rcconsderng the whole ques
