LONDON, Nov. 14.-The "Pall Mall Ga
zette," this morning, In leading article
says: "Once more darkness has fallen over
the prospects Of peace. That It will li6
again We may hope, but the news that comes
from St. Petersburg and Constantinople
gives us warning that what Is called feeling
may yet conquer wisdom, and that certain
degree OF tnsatiety already threatens to creep
into the judgment Of those upon whom de-
ponds the tremendous issue of peace OF
war. The speech of the Gear is not the most
alarming incident of the time, but it ia far
from Pleasaat reading"
What are the guarantees which the Gar
has In mfnd2 Are they such conditions az
the Potte will grant? There lies the whole
question, and If we are to rely upon thie
morning news from Constantinople, the
question Is net likely to be answered to thu
mind Of the Gear. .,.
Turkey hesitates, we are told, to accept
conference, and the Grand Vizcr has tele-
graphed his objection to the English gov
ernment. Moreover in another report pro.
Tossing to come from Constantinople, the
Pail Mail Gazette here reports to q special
dispatch IN to days Telegraph: We get what
would seem to be the substance of tho objsc.
tion thus referred to The Turkish govern
ment who are said to be deeply stirred by
the injustice done their nation, and by the
Ill return their enemies make for all their
proofs of moderation; are stated to have tele-
graphed, instructions 10 the represents
clues abroad to the following effect
we desire peace with or without q confer
ence, but we must have guarantees for the
integrity of our territory before we can ad-
NIT recon ommendations or requests. We con-
slider it an evil, if not q fatal precedent, to
accept q conference upon the internal affairs
Of the empire. If Europe has propositions
to make TO Us, let the signatory powers Of
the treaty of Paris make them collectively
and we will reply, yes or no. Such Is the
account given of the attitude of the Turk
ish government, and if it is correct it is
needless to dwell upon the seriousness of the
news. No comment could enhance the
gravity of so critical a situation as 1t re-
veals. If the temper, too, plainly indicated
in this naughty message, Is really dominant
at Const antinople the prospect is gloomy
one indeed.
The Cologne "Gazette" this evening pub
fishes report, which has been presented 10
the King of Italy by his ministers, regard
ing the measures to be taken by the Italian
the Pope. The ministers propose immedi
ately after the Pope's death to occupy the
neighborhood of the vatican by military.
The Prefect of Rome will request
certain papal officials to assist a.
viewing the body and other necessary for
malities. If this be refused, the prefect
will fCrcibly enter the vatican accompanied
by the questor and also by physicians,
notaries and witnesses who, after viewing
the body, will send certificate of inquest
to the cardinal deacon a seal will be-
attached to the furniture in ShO Pope's
department, and remain 80 until after the
removal of the. body. After. twenty-four
hours the body will be at the disposal OF
the clergy. "
