on the 18th, instant. Earl Derby said,
"You may be quite sure that the gov
ernment cannot under rate the strength
OF p0pular feeling, which undoubtedly
has shown itself 80 strongly In the last
few weeks, with regard to the Bulga-
rian atrocities. l apprchend we all
agree In principle as to what ought to
be done, shall in a few days be- able
to publish dispatch, which has been
sent to Sir Henry Gilleat, British am
bassador, at Constantinople. He has
been directed to interview the sultan,
and call for the punishment OF the
principal authors OF atrocities He has
also been directed to present the urgent
necessity for relieving the sutferings
caused by the atrocities, Special re-
lief is to be given to numerous cases Of
abduction of women, aud they must be
searcheds for and restored to their
homes.n
In regard to the question OF con-
voking Parliament, Lord Derby pointed
out that this was course which was
only adopted under the most urgent
circumstances, such as declaration Of
war; but IN the present. instance "we
are not at war, or In the least likely to
be, so we have no urgent measures to
propose to Parliament to influence the
negotiations, for II things go as
smoothly as we hope, 1t Is possible
and probable that all the most material
points will have been settled between
the powers before Parliament could
possibly meet. a
Lord Derby then discussed the Har-
court policy and said: 81 think we
may look for possible and practicable
solution in the direction of local
autonmy. do not conceive 1t will be
difficult to make such reforms work,
but ! believe 1t possible. The
practical objects for which we
labor are equal treatment
of the Mohammedans and Christians,
security OF life and property, and the
elfectnal guarantees against n repeti-
tien of the outrage, | do not wish TO
disguise that the atrocities has, to a
certain extent, exchanged positions,
not only of this, but OF every European
government In regard to Turkey. /
think II not necessary to express any
opinion In regard to the merits of the
war between Turkey, Servia and Mon
tenegro, but as neither side has OBJ.
tanned any decisive success, they may
fairly treat the matter as drawn
game and revert to statu quo ante
bellum." Lord Derby concluded his
speech rs follows: ~ confidently be.
lieve we shall see this matter brought
to an issue without any fresh efusion
of blood. l do not imagine you can
settle this storm question by saying
what you wish done. The question is,
what, under the circumstances, posi-
bly, can be done.n
