DERBY TAKEs THE RESPONSIBILITY.
LONDON, Sept t1.--EarI Derby to-day re-
cclycd tno dcputations OF workmcn's so-
cetlcs, and In reply to their addresses said that
the Government had uecu cllargeu With milf
ference tu tho great crimes committed Ia Bull

matters, and In sending lcct to Ueslka Hay,
wns done, II not before tho ontragcs occurred,
at any rate before they were known. lie denied
tlat tho Government was fn any sense rcspon-
slblc for outbrcaks OF fanatlciam among the
Turkish population. 1to described the cprcylous
action Of the Government, and said they lad
nothing to unsay Of whnt they had said, and
nothing to regret in what they had t'ono. II
tho Turks believed that oil Europe desired to
drtvc them back into Asia they would break
out Into cxccsses, prompted by reTcnge and
dcspair. 1io bclscycd that tho conviction that
England desired fnir play had done more than
anything e'se to prevent the war from nsst.ining
the character Of u religious war, and to prevent
the commission Of atrocities iu many provinces
fustea1 of In one.
Euglund held MI exceptional position In con-
sdqucnca Of tho Crineal War, which at Its OUT
set was puslled mainly By the Emperor Of tho
French. Lord Derby said he believed 1t would
be as much mistake now a formerly to let
tho Turkish Empire take cure Of itself. The
value to us Of It's territorial integrity was rcal
aud permanent. The last word in the Eastern
question was: Who Is to have Constanttnop!ci
ANY attempt Ut Partition would be Signal for
q European war. But the relations hctwccn
Turkey and her various subject raccs had been
modified repeatedly, and they might bo modi-
fled ngain. Arrangements for local self-goyern-
mrnt which had been mado with Egypt, the
Lebanon, and Crete, lad been settled with the
concurrence OF the guaranteeing Powers, but lie
would never put hs 1la1ne to any scheme which
he believed would not work. As to tic future,
