Is quite possible that the constant ru,
mois of the Turkish advances and Ser.
Wan retreats are exaggerated, but il
cannot be denied that the prospect o1
the Servians is becoming more gloomy
| The rumor of their evacuation Of the dc.
files leading from GurgusovatZ to Dele
grade and from Saifschar to ParAkin,
though uncopfirmed, is highly probable.
II the Turks push forward it is more
than likely that the expected great bat
tie at Aexinatz or Dalegrade will never
be- fought. The officials continue to as.
sure the public of their ability to beat
the forks, nevertheless CONSERVATION
prevails and must increase, as the num-
bar OF runawAys increases in the streets.
Serious Charge.
Avery unpleasant affair occurred here
between two officers Of the English relief
societies. DR.. Thomas, who is at the
head of the Christian league, laid infor-
nation before the minister of war de-
nouncing Dr.. Lazeron, who is connected
with the National aid society, as q
Tnr ish spy, aud he (LGzsron) was com.
PEELED to leave. This hes raralyzed the
action of the English societicE, which
are unconnected with the Christian lea
que. DR.. Thome1's conduct hes excited
very strong feeling among all English
! people here.

The English Cabinet.
EDINBURGH, August 15.-The Scots
man publishes dispatches from London
| say ing that Disraeli's investiture of the
privy seal is probably only temporary
reading to the reorganization OF the cab
met. It is believed that the following
| changes will ultimately be made: Lord
| John Manners, the present postmaster
general, will be Great, q peer, and take
| the privy seal; Right Honorable Ste-
| phen Cave, paymsJter- general, will sue
ceed Lord Manners; Sir Charles Adder
ly, president of the board of trade, will
be created peer, aud VIM. II. Smith,
one OF the joint secretaries OF the treas
ury, will succeed Adderly; Sir L Mas
sey Lopez, baronet, will succeed Smith
| as joint secretary. DIsrseli will retain
the premiership only during the recess
of parliament, if 50 long; Lord Derby
will then succeed to that office.

MADRID, August 15.-Cabinet changes
are believed to be imminent. 1t is more
than probable that the climax will be
reached within week, Notwithstanding
the ministerial changes might damage
the prospects Of the new loan to be is-
sued under cover of the conversion of
the national debt, and might interfere
with Cuban affeirs. Nest politicians, of

LONDON, August 15--Parliament was

b tone by the lord high chancellor:
MY LORDS ARD GENTLEAIEN-I am
happy to bs able to Teles 5e you from
your attendance upon parliament. My
relations with all foreign powers are Of
a friendly character and look forward
contidentially to the maintenance Of
the good understanding which now pre-

the effJrts which in common with other
powers l have made to bring about
settlement of differences unfortunately
existing between the Porte and his
christian subjects in Bosnia and Herze-
govina has hitherto bsan upsuccess-
faI. The COT fiict began in these
provinces have been extended in Servia
and Montenegro. Sbould q favorable
opportunity present itself l shall be
ready, in concert with any others, to
offer my good offices for
the purpose of mediation between
the contending parties, bearing in mind
alike the duties imposed upon me by
the treaty obligations and those which
arise from the considerations OF human
ity and policy. A difference has arisen
between my government and thst of the
United States as to the proper cOnstruc-
ton Of an article in the treaty of the
ninth of August, 1912, which relates to
the mutual surrender of psrsops accused
of certain Offenses. The einconveniences
to both countries which would follow
The cessation Of the practice Of eXtradi-
ton are great and obvious, and enter
tain the hope that new arrangement
will soon bs arrived ct by which the
matter will be placed on satisfactory
footing. / am deeply thankful that my
dear son, the Prince OF Wales, has re-
turned from heightened journey in In
dia. His presence in that part of my
dominions has given occasion for the
expression of feelings of loyalty and de-
votion to the throne which highly
value. IL pursuance Of the pow con-
ferred upon me [ have, by proclama-
ton, assumed the title OF empress Of In
dia. In making, IS regards India, this
addition to the ancient style of my
crown, L have desired to record on this
occasion the peculiar interest to me, and
the earnest s0lioitude which 1 feel for
the happiness of my Indian people. I
trust that peace and order will be re.es-
tablished in the Malay peninsulsr, and
that the rulers Of my native STATE will
cheerfully accept the recommendations
and assistance Of my officers for the bet
ter government of their territories. The
visit to this country OF the president OF
the Orange free States has resulted in
satisfactory settlement of the long con-
trOVersy which has existed with refer
ence to the province Of Griquslsrd, and
an important advance he's thus been
madetoWard that friendly and cordial CO.
operation ofneighboripg States which is
essential to the interests of South Afri-
ca. A conference in regard 80 South
African affairs, in regard to which the
papers have already Deen laid before
you, is now sitting 10 London, and can
not fail to contribute largely 20 settle
ment OF various and important
questions. Gentlemen of the house
of commons, 1 thank you for
the liberal supp ort you have
voted for the public service. An
additional outlay was required to place
my army and navy upon s. proper foot.
ing and efficiency, and the check which
had been given to al advance Of reve-
nue. by comparative stagnation of
trade compelled me to propose an in.
crease OF taxation. 1 desire to acknoWl.
edge the readiness with which you have
responded to that appeal and at the same
tme assure you that no effJrt shall be
wanting to keep the expenditures OF the
country within the bounds of modera-
ton. My lords and gentlemen, the act
