In It's government. Matters went pretty
well until 1920, when the old school Buldhists led
on by fanatics instituted ferocous persecution or
all Christians, and since then, at different times,
strong French neets have been sent out to demand
Indemnity and protect the missionaries Thus, step

The Eastern Qmesiion-The Ultimatum OF
tho Sublime Porte.

tho Sublime Porte.
The London Conference, which has taken
shape, but which has not yet done much, is
likely to have hard work before its sittings are
finally discontinued. AS yet it is only name.
But 1t is threatened with all the annoyance
which must come from the settlement of the
Papal difficulty. No one knows what 1t may
yet have to do with the peace settlement as
between France and Germany. It now ap-
pears that the Eastern question may be much
more difficult of solution than we have been
led by recent statements to believe. A de-
spatch from Constantinople, which we print in
the HERALD of this morning, informs us that
the Sublime Porte insists that the London Con-
ference shall not deprive Turkey Of that con-
troll which she now enjoys of the Dardanelles
and the Bosphorus. The Porte will not have
any arrangement which affects her present
recognized rights in those waters. If the
Porte and the government Of the Gear differ on
this matter the Conference may have trouble.
1t Is also announced that Prince Charles Of
Roumania is so dissatisfied with things as they
are among his people that he is disposed to re-
sign. Altogether the Eastern question is COM
plicated.
We are not without the hope, however, that
the Conference will be found equal to the de-
mands made upon it. France is helpless.
Germany is tired of war, although stronger
than ever she has been in her whole history.
The presumption is that Great Britain and
Germany will agree and that Russia will find
it necessary now to be in peaceful and con-
ciliatory mood. From the peace treaties of
London, 1871, we look for peace which shall
prove to be as lasting as that which followed
the peace treaties of Vienna-1814-15. Ger
many is henceforth to be the pivot of power
in Europe. If Germany and Great Britain
agree the peace of the world is secured for at
least another couple of decades.

WALL STREET AND THE SURRENDER OF
PARIs.-The great topic of the hour has
produced comparatively little sensation in the
money market, for the reason, doubtless, that
our financial wiseacres are in the dark as to
the effect upon. values Of the restoration of
peace In Europe promised by the surrender of
Paris. In this contingency they are watching
closely the fluctuations Of the London money
market, and we find accordingly slight

perts.

perts.
The examination of witnesses in this extra
ordinary case on behalf of the proponents, or
The defenders of the ''alleged" will Of the late
Mr.. James B. Taylor, is still progressing. The
contestants having exhausted their side Of the
case, lengthy sessions Of the court are almost
daily held in the hope of bringing the contro-
versy to speedy issue. Surrogate Hutch
ings accepts and acts upon the desire OF coun-
Eel In opening the court to suit the convenience
of the principal litigants, their counsel and wit
nesses and sitting to whatever hour of the day
the pressing necessities Of the case demand,
with fairness and impartiality that has eli
and cross-examination of experts as to the
genuineness or spuriousness of the strangely
discovered will, on the basis of the handwrit-
Ing In the body and the signature to the docu-
ment, was exhaustive and, needless to say,
.Hatly contradictory. But there is one remark
able feature distinguishing the case, and that
is the jealous, not to say partisan, spirit the
whole host of witnesses, whether on one side
Or the other, evince in giving their testimony.
The strength of the case on the part Of the
contestants rests on the alleged counterfeiting
or forging Of the handwriting of the deceased
to the will If they can prove their allegation.
And yet, as in almost all cases of expert
testimony, these witnesses get themselves into
ludicrous dilemmas, not unfrequently swear
ing, as has occurred in this case, that
genuine signature was spurious and an imita-
ton signature genuine.
In an examination into forgery case upon
the Sub Treasury in this city, few years ago,
the then United States Sub J.
Cisco-whose signature it was charged was
forged to a note, was on one of the days of
the examination requested by the defendants
counsel to write his name on slip of paper.
He did 30. On subsequent day of the
examination the genuine signature and the
alleged forged one, both being photographed,
we're presented to Mr.. Cisco for Identification,
whereupon, to the great amusement of the
court, he unhesitatingly announced that the
alleged forged signature was genuine" and
the signature written by him day or two
previous, before q dozen witnesses, was a
counterfeit" So much for the testimony Of
experts in handwriting.
The end of the case is, however, approach
ing. The proponents assume to be sanguine
that they will give the coup dc grace to their
opponents, or contestants Of the will, in their
cwn good time. 1t is expected that all the
evidence in the case, pro and con, will be con-
cluded by Friday next. The summing up of
counsel and the decision Of the Surrogate will
quickly follow.
