King John conversed during his visit to this city

especially upon the progressive development and

check further revolutionary demands. But 1t Is by
no means certain that the passage of Mr. Gladstone's

is far more likely to arouse the people to renewed

bility OF hostile collision between such powerful
countries as England and Russia presents too
lamentable prospect and therefore IL fs natural
that on both sides wish should be manifested 70
searchout the truth from among such accumulated
heap OF prejudices, as well as to put aside al
those misunderstanding winch prevent friendly
cooperation In the interests of universal civilization
Against the proposed negotiations we have nothing
to say and we think that the Russian government
will not refuse TO come to an understanding which
might lead to the consolidation OF general interests
and 10 the development OF friendly relations be-
tween England and Russia. These general interests
consist in reciprocal adoption Of measures for the
fnrtherance OF trade and the establishment OF
Powers. in view OF their approaching closer neigh
borhood. An Indian correspondent mentions,
among other things, the desrability OF appointing
consular agents-an English one in Tashkend and
Russian one in Lahore or Pesnawur. Explanations
OF this kind might insure reciprocity OF friendly re-
lations At all events any effort to arrive at such an
understanding could not possibly have any evil re-
Suits and would be quite compatible with the dig
nifty Of both States. We are OF the opinion that Rus
STA would never allow her position In Asia or her
relations with the Kanates to be questioned, Eng
land, certain, would not allow herself TO be
brought TO account for her own position in India.
Indeed. such course OF action would be looked
upon interference OF one State In the internal
affairs OF another. But without wishing to antci-
pate the character OF any further negotiations,
cred it our duty to state our opinion to the drec
ton 1t ought to take more especially as In England,
SO far as we can Judge from the press, many people
hold dinerent view regarding the possible dtpo-
matte negotiations with Russia on the question Of
Central Asia.

RUSSIA.

English and Russian Interests In the East.
An uneasy feeling is evidently gaining ground In
England AZ Russia advances by her projected lines
Of railway to the English possessions In Asia.
Regarding the suggestions made BY an English
paper that negotiations should be opened between
the English and Russian governments In order that
an understanding should be arrived at on the Cen
tral Asian question, the xosco,c gazette makes the
following remarks.-
The question regarding the future relations be-
tween Russia and MISUNDERSTANDING IN view their
altered positions IN Anla--so occupies the public
mind In England and India, and exercises besides
such vast influence over the future direction of the
policy OF these two countries that the Russian pub

The Belgium Railway Question.

The Belgium Railway Question.
The excitement incident TO the Begian railway
question has subsidized for the time being; yet 1t
by no means erectually died out The French gov
ernment not long ago started nalfpenny journal,
called the Peuple, which represents Official ad-
dresses to the masses for political aims. Speaking
OF the Belgian railway question the imperial organ
observes to-day
Universal suffrage does not exist in Belgium and
the democracy Of THAI country excluded from the
right OF voting. According to the electoral law but
onefoarth Of the male population enjoys the fran
chse and that proportion Is stl further reduced ~
indifference 80 that the Deputies and Seles6fs are
elected by oRe-eighth OF the population only. To
that situation Is probably que the evident divergency
the law Of the lSth February The former
must certainly desire that the coal Of their
country should enter France; that the CONNER
cial relations bet1een the two nations should
be more intimate, and that there should
be no more customs duties between France
French companies, would be In direct opposition to
the system Of free trade. THIS contradiction Is
serious one. and deserves to be pointed out. For
were not represented, and for having pronounced
the order Of the day on all democratic questions,
the reign OF the middle classes was overthrown In
France In 1s4s There is in history OF the middle
classes In France lesson for those Of Belgium. Gov
ernng bodies exist only by moderation and 1t Is not by
sacrificing the interests Of the laborng u-
just preudlces or TO the maintenance OF Industrial
monOpolies that the oligarchy which predomnates In
Belgium WIZ m is Strengthen ,s powef s,n NO surprise VIII
AFFAIR OF the Belgian railways from the point OF view
OF French interests, we should refer to them also
from that Of the Belgian democracy Our patriotism
Is, indeed, not exclusive, and all democratic ques-
ti0ns must concern journal called the Peupie. We
said the other day what we thought Of the German
democracy and what respect we had for It's asplra
tons; we have now the right to declare that the
Belgian people are quite strangers to the vote OF the
might have produced without the prudence and
moderation OF the two governments.

Rumored Changes in the French Ministry.
Very little notice is taken by the French press OF
rnnor just alluded TO by the Gau0is, that the En-
peror has been thinking OF breaking up his Ministry
and giving NJ Rouher carte blanche to form
Cabinet on totally new principles, among which
would be included ministerial responsibility" A
correspondent writes to the Independence Belge:-
II is generally agreed that the government made
mistake in not going on more resolutely in the
path indicated in NJ. ROuher's first speech. Public
opinion much agtated and the Tuileries is quite
aware Oft. The emperor, who was at the theatre
to see the first representation Of "Faust" looked
very anxious 1t IS rumored that he contemplates
meeting the crisis by thorough change Of Min.
listers. The story is that M. Rouher will be shelved
in the chair Of the Senate and ministerial RESPONSE
billty revived. n part Of the combination, M.
Emile olivier would be made Minister OF the inte-
rior N. de FORBADE La Roquette Finance Minister,
and NJ. BOnjean Minister Of Justice; Marshal Mel
and Admiral Rigaut de Genouilly would remain
Ministers Of War and Marine, but Prince Napoleon
would be created President OF the Council OF
Ministers. Then the emperor would dissolve at
once and get the budget voted by new chamber.
