A Berlin special dispatch to the Times says
| the Austrian Ambassador at COnstantiuople
suggested to the Turkish Government the ex-
pediency of allowing the Herzegovinians q
semi.independent administration; had this
suggestion been accepted the three northern
powers would have been prepared to assist in
its accomplishment The Porte, however,
rejected the proposition.
The Intervention of Austria is no longer
considered altogether improbable. The AUS
| trian Government seems to consider that
change has become Indispensable and that it
had best be effected at time when Austria
may hope to exercise a leading influence
| The London Times, in leading article
says, if any mode could bs devised OF giving
Herzegovina and Bosnia an independence
similar to that enjoyed by Servia, it would be
great relief to the Porte and an advantage
to Europe. The writer points to the gradual
and inevitable disruption of the Ottoman
Empire and protests against the supposition
that foreign policy of England might be gov
cred in the interests of the holders of Turkish
bonds.
The article concludes: "Whereas, the mo-
ment arrives for further step towards the
liberation of the outlying provinces OF Tur-
key we need not hesitate to assist the move
ment, if that course should appear desirable"

LONDON, Aug 23-In delivering Judgment
in the case Of the Abbottsford investigation
the Court of Inquiry said they were perfectly
satisfied that the vessel was in good order;
that the general character and conduct Of the
officers were perfect and all that could be de-
sired by critical owners or a most critical
public. The vessel made the journey safely
until near Holyhead, and them ia a very few
hours, was lost on the coast of Anglesey.
Every precaution seemed to have been
taken; all that prudence dictated; all
that the printed rules for the guidance Of off,
GERS required, had been done. Soundipgs
had been made regularly, and as the weather
thickened constant and, doubtless, vigilant
and efficient lookout had been preserved:
still the vessel was finally lost on summers
day in fog, and it remained for the court to
ascertain the cause, as far as possible.
i They were unable to accept the theory OF
sudden disturbance of the compass, but
thought that when observation was taken
after leaving Holyhea there Was some gross
error of calculation. They were Of opinion
that the loss of the vessel was due in the first
instance to the masters having misjudged the
distance from Holyhead, and they also
thought sufficient allowance was not made
for the force of the tide, especially during the
several times the vessel was slowed or stopped
for soundings.
They held these mistakes deserving of GEN.
sure They could not say that, considering
the state of the weather after passing Holy
head, it was prudent to proceed at the rate OF
speed at which the vessel did, though the
loss could not be attributed to that cause.
The captains certificate would be, therefore,
returned him.

view OF the grain market, says the wheat
crop in Great Britain has been gathered in
much better order than was expected; prices
generally yielded l to shillings. in some
cases to shillings. The new samples look
we'll in comparison with last year, with less
average and diminished yield.
The Paris market mas also felt the benef-
cial effect of the weather, the price of -four
having declined two shiilings per sack. In
many parts of France the harvest has been
gathered. but in none it will be anywise like
that of last year. Accounts from the CONT
nent differ somewhat, but all agrese upon the
fact that the violent local storms, with unusu-
ally large hail stones, doing immense damage,
have visited France and Belgium and Holland.
Prices are but little changed on the Continent
generally. In Germany the markets are firm.
